BXBX NOVEL Chapter 20 - In Need For An Assistant
Putting a wide smile, she stared at the head maid. Her eyes staring them with menace and fist ready to grab their neck anytime.
"Oh really! So you did this for my happiness, but head maid, you should learn that the master warning is also for your own safety. If you disobey it then your life might get ruined," Caixia said while putting a mocking smile.
The head maid flinched back and gasped, "What are you saying Miss, we didn\'t mean to offend you or disrespect your orders, I did everything for you!".
Caixia nodded and while putting her hand on the head maid shoulder, she tightened its grip. It was painful for the head maid and her eyebrows twitched as she groaned.
"I think you understand it now! I am not the Caixia whom even the maids can bully, I am someone that the greatest king fears to offend," Caixia said and smirked.
She glanced back and pushed the maid aside to make way for entering inside.
"Si-ting! It\'s my home and you don\'t have to take someone else permission to enter inside, now come in," said Caixia and entered inside the mansion.
All the maids who acted up by the head maid orders were trembling after receiving an intimidating glare.
Caixia sat on the sofa while giving an emperor like vibe.
Si-ting blinked and stared her with his innocent face.
She chuckled and asked him to take a seat while ordered Steward Kye to call for all the workers in the mansion. At least 25 maids including the head maid lined up, Steward Kye was the only male staff at the mansion and he stood in another line.
"So this is the only people in this mansion, but how weird! I remember that they all are workers who were hired by the Li family after my mother passed away. But if I remember it clearly, Steward Kye have worked here for more then 20 years when my parents were still alive," she said.
The steward nodded, his eyes clear with no expressions.
Caixia sighed, she was expecting an expression from him but seeing how he didn\'t budged off, it was hard for her to perceive his mind.
"Ok, all the maids are now fired, take your belongings and leave the house by tomorrow morning," said Caixia with her aloof face.
The maids panicked and stared at the head maid with their eyes filled with hope.
"Ms. Caixia! You can\'t fire us, we have been working here for more then 15 years," she said loudly.
Caixia shrugged her shoulder, "So what? Earlier you called the Li family your master but now that they are gone, you people should be loyal and move out too. No more question, disperse now".
The head maid was unwilling to give up, her eyes glaring Caixia and teeth gritting, "I won\'t leave, I have worked here for many years and I am old now, I won\'t be going anywhere".
She chuckled and gave her an evil stare, "I will write recommendation letter for all the maid who leaves silently while forgetting the way they have behaved with me when the Li family was still here, but the one who resists, they can just do the work but their wages will be cut off".
It was a great uproar for them and many backed off without struggling anymore, the head maid too after seeing that no one was there to back her up, she disappeared into thin air.
She sighed and massaged her head, "I still need to search for some loyal people for the company but now I will have to search for this mansion, too".
Si-ting was silently admiring her with his shiny eyes, he was trying to learn at the same time from her performance.
Caixia stared him and her face suddenly lit up, some ideas were rushing in her mind and she chuckled.
"You must be trying to get an internship, right? How about you join my company for a temporary period. Don\'t worry I will pay you for your work and later when the company become stable, at that time if you want you can work together with me, I can give you the position of a director," she said.
He gasped and panicked a little, turning his head right and left from the shock, his eyes started to move in circles.
"Was that, that bad of a offer!" she said while frowning.
While giving it a deep thought, he stopped with his panic movements and said, "Are you joking with me?".
Her corner of lips raised as she felt irritated, "I don\'t think I am joking; but you are".
He tried to explain her, his every movement showing his panicked mind. "I didn\'t meant that, but getting to intern in a big company is something a poor student like me always dream of and getting such an opportunity is very dream like".
She sighed, "Yeah, the Lin company branch is spread across many places and the main branch is relatively bigger and more loaded in comparison to many other companies, but you should not forget that right now the situation of the company is worse then many small companies".
"Yeah, I know that it can go bankrupt anytime but it is still holding on and that means that there are shareholders who still believe in the Lin group," said Si-ting while staring her calmly.
Caixia smirked and nodded, "Not bad, you are actually better then many big shots at understanding a company situation. No wonder my unparalleled eyes stared at you as if staring a diamond," childishly she bragged.
He smiled awkwardly, "Do you still want to hire me, since your company is in bad situation, you should try to hire knowledgeable people who can bring out the company from crises".
Caixia laughed unwillingly, "It will take some time, but still I want you to work for me, I might have not enough money to pay you a huge sum but I am sure that I can pay you. Since you know that the company will not go bankrupt, please join hands with me and assist with your guidance. I am sure you can do it".
There was a faint smile on his face and his face was flustered, he looked down while his eyes blinking more then it usually did.
"Am I asking for too much? If you don\'t want to then it\'s ok," she said as she felt puzzled by his depressed face which looked more shiny.
"Then what work are you going to give me? I don\'t have any experience so I might slow you down," he said like an innocent child whose eyes twinkled as they saw candies.
Caixia gulped, "I don\'t have an assistant, so work as my general assistant. Since no one would be willing to join a company who is in crises, it would be a great help if you join and experience is not a problem, we can get it by going through thick and thin together".
He nodded, "Let\'s sign a contract then!".
She smirked and nodded, "We will do it tomorrow but for now…. Ugh, teach me so that I can pass the exam".
Wang Mansion:
He entered inside while breathing fiercely. Directly he entered inside the study room and called Secretary Kim.
"Investigate and give me the detail of Lin Caixia, put everything on the paper whether it is her past or present, tell me who she meets and what she does," he said with his heavy voice.
"Then sir, do you want me to put a spy on Ms. Lin?" Secretary Kim replied.
"Yeah do so, and make sure to keep this fact hidden," he said and cut the call before hearing his reply.
Grabbing the crystal ball used as a decoration on the study table, he tightened his grip almost as if going to break it down.
"How dare she use me and then throw away!" he mumbled and threw the ball toward the door and pressed his head with his fingers.
College Campus:
Dark bangs under her eyes and face exhausted, she stepped out of the car after parking it.
"You must be tired after studying up for late hours, but I am quite confused..," Si-ting said as he got off the car.
"You must be confused that why I am so worse at the theory!" she said with a smile on her exhausted face.
He laughed, "Well you are bad but honestly you are good with the practical\'s and mostly calculations seemed to be very easier for you".
"Well they are something, I am very good at," she bragged with her eyes closed and nose lifting up.
As Caixia walked toward the class room, she remembered the horrible night were she saw alien like subject, even though it got easier as she studied, still it was hard for her to remember the theories in one night.
"Anyways thanks to your teaching, I have now the understanding of the base. Once I deal with the exam, I will teach you how to fight bit*ch and vixens," she said while smiling evilly.
Suddenly many footsteps rushing toward a single direction attracted Caixia attention.
