Xie Xiaojiang widened his eyes, seemingly having a hard time accepting the fact that Wei Yuhuan would also be staying here.
“I have to keep an eye on you. What if you run away if I don’t watch you?” Of course, this was just an excuse that Wei Yuhuan used to stay. With Xie Xiaoxi in his hands, where could Xie Xiaojiang run to?
But Xie Xiaojiang thought that he still couldn’t let Wei Yuhuan rest assured, so he said, “I said that if you don’t hand me over to the police, I won’t run away.”
Wei Yuhuan raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat incredulous.
Xie Xiaojiang said seriously, “Besides, if I really want to run, I can sneak away while you’re asleep. You can’t keep an eye on me then.”
Wei Yuhuan: “…”
Xie Xiaojiang scratched his head. “But you’re the boss. You can stay wherever you want.”
Wei Yuhuan laughed. This was exactly what he was waiting for. “Okay, then I’ll take a shower first.” He walked straight into the bedroom, took a set of clean clothes, and came out, saying, “You can sort out the things I just bought for you.”
Xie Xiaojiang responded with a dazed expression, dumping the bags of clothes on the sofa. He looked at one piece of clothing and then touched another, not knowing where to hang them.
Although he had only secretly lived here for more than two months, he was very familiar with the place and knew that there was only a wardrobe in the bedroom. But the bedroom was definitely reserved for the boss to sleep in, so was it not appropriate to hang the clothes there?
Xie Xiaojiang looked around and listened to the dripping water in the bathroom, suddenly feeling embarrassed. When Wei Yuhuan finished showering and came out, he saw Xie Xiaojiang sitting neatly on the sofa in the living room, with a pile of clothes next to him, looking lost.
“Why did you put the clothes here?” Wei Yuhuan was also puzzled.
Xie Xiaojiang pointed to the direction of the bedroom and then to the sofa, admitting with self-awareness, “You sleep on the bed, and I’ll sleep on the sofa.”
Wei Yuhuan found it funny. As he dried his hair, he said, “The bed in the bedroom is big enough. You can sleep in here with me.”
This sentence did not carry any negotiating tone at all. Wei Yuhuan said it very naturally, but precisely because it sounded too natural, it almost sounded a bit autocratic and left no room for argument. Xie Xiaojiang couldn’t help but feel a sense of self-disgust, thinking, “Why are you being so difficult when the boss doesn’t mind?”. So he just pouted for a moment and agreed.
That night, when Xie Xiaojiang finished washing up and returned to the bedroom, Wei Yuhuan was leaning on the bed using his iPad to browse financial news. He heard the noise and looked up to see Xie Xiaojiang walking in with just his upper body and two legs exposed.
When Xie Xiaojiang and Xiao Ding lived together, Xie would often walk around in just his underwear after taking a shower. Although Boss Wei’s high social status made him feel a little uncomfortable, as they were both men, he didn’t think too much about it.
Xie Xiaojiang was not tall, but his limbs were slender and his body was well-proportioned, with a thin layer of muscle covering his not-so-large frame. His innocent-looking face radiated a unique beauty somewhere between youth and adulthood.
Wei Yuhuan had seen him like this on the surveillance video, but he had never been able to appreciate it up close like this. He was so aroused that he wanted to throw him down on the bed no matter what.
Xie Xiaojiang was completely unaware of his own charm, and he looked at Wei Yuhuan with a hint of shyness. After all, he was the boss, an elite, not like Xiao Ding, who was a rough man. He was still a little embarrassed.
Xie Xiaojiang’s black eyes, like a starry night, seemed to have a hint of pure temptation when looking at people. Wei Yuhuan’s nose was hot, and he almost sprayed out two tubes of blood!
…Dear God, what kind of beauty had he encountered?
Wei Yuhuan cleared his throat lightly, his voice inexplicably hoarse, “Are your pants still fitting well?”
“Um.” Xie Xiaojiang put on a pure cotton T-shirt as pajamas, which Wei Yuhuan had bought for him. He cherished it and touched it sincerely, saying, “This is the first time I’ve worn such high-quality clothes. Hehe.”
Wei Yuhuan smiled and a hint of inadvertent tenderness flashed in his eyes. “Come on, go to sleep.”
Xie Xiaojiang had just laid down when he exclaimed, “I forgot to put on the medicine.”
“Red flower oil?” Wei Yuhuan asked.
Xie Xiaojiang crawled out of bed and walked on the floor with his bare feet, like a cat tiptoeing out. Wei Yuhuan’s heart also beat erratically, wanting to personally apply the medicine and gently rub the small area on the boy’s stomach.
Struggling to resist the burning desire, Wei Yuhuan tried to take deep breaths. He regretted his tortured state and kept reminding himself to endure for a moment to avoid a lifetime of regret… However, when Xie Xiaojian came back with the scent of red flower oil all over him, Wei Yuhuan couldn’t take it anymore and got up from the bed, whispering, “I’m a little hot, I need to go take a shower again.”
Xie Xiaojiang: “???…”
The night passed without incident. Despite feeling a bit uneasy before falling asleep, Xie Xiaojiang slept well throughout the night. He was someone who slept soundly in any position and could fall asleep easily in any environment without being particular about his bed.
On the other hand, Wei Yuhuan had a rough night. Despite having a beautiful man beside him, he had to resist the urge to make a move and worry about being honest with his body. As a result, he tossed and turned all night and woke up with dark circles under his eyes. The sight of Xie Xiaojiang gave him some psychological comfort.
It was a workday, and Wei Yuhuan had to go to the company. Xie Xiaojiang, dressed in new clothes and looking clean, accompanied him to the vicinity of the CEO’s office of the Huan Yu Group. The staff passing by couldn’t help but gossip about who this handsome new guy was.
Even those who had seen Xie Xiaojiang yesterday, including Li Xiuya and Zhang Hua, were surprised!
“Isn’t he the delivery guy that got punched by Mr. Wei yesterday?”
“Oh my god, in this society, appearance matters more than anything. This dirtied-up laborer looks like a completely different person after changing clothes. Those who don’t know would think he’s a little young master from Mr. Wei’s circle of friends.”
“Mr. Wei, who is he?” Li Xiuya, being the daring one, stepped forward to inquire.
Despite having many lovers, Wei Yuhuan had never brought any of them to the company. He kept his professional and personal lives separate. This was precisely why Li Xiuya, who had been his secretary and lover, was unique by his side. Although they had now drawn a clear line between them, Li Xiuya still felt proud of their past. However, the appearance of Xie Xiaojiang made him feel like a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.
Li Xiuya furrowed his brows and asked Wei Yuhuan with suspicion, “Mr. Wei, are you serious about this?”
Wei Yuhuan smiled and took the opportunity to introduce Xie Xiaojiang to everyone, saying, “This is Xie Xiaojiang, my personal assistant starting from today. Xiaoyang, take him to HR later to complete the formalities.”
Xie Xiaojiang followed Xiaoyang, the receptionist, to the HR department. Wei Yuhuan went into his office with Li Xiuya following closely behind. Li Xiuya briefly updated him on what had happened after he left yesterday, then left the office without asking any further questions.
Wei Yuhuan rubbed his forehead and sighed softly as he watched Li Xiuya leave – it seemed that this Li Xiuya was not as rational as he had imagined.
Soon after, Secretary Yang arrived with the contract drafted by the HR department for Wei Yuhuan to review and make a decision on the contract length and salary.
Wei Yuhuan glanced at the contract and began to add some conditions with a pen, saying, “He’ll commute with me, no need to track attendance, just write a basic salary on the contract, and I’ll pay the three insurances and two funds. As for bonuses, I’ll personally decide based on his performance.”
Secretary Yang looked at Xiaojiang with envy, while Xiaojiang was still admiring the employee card he had just received. When he heard Wei Yuhuan say that there were three insurances and two funds, he looked up with delight.
Wei Yuhuan put away the pen and handed the documents back to Secretary Yang, smiling at Xiaojiang, “How about it, the benefits are pretty good, right?”
Xiaojiang was so happy that he couldn’t find north. How could this Mr. Wei be so kind?!
When the HR director saw the content that Wei Yuhuan had added to the contract, he was shocked. The contract clearly stated a one-way life-long term, which meant that only Wei Yuhuan had the right to unilaterally terminate the employment contract. Xiaojiang could not breach the contract, otherwise he would have to pay a high penalty and compensation. According to Secretary Yang, Wei Yuhuan had asked for only a basic salary to be written on the contract, which was equivalent to the salary of a janitor or security personnel, the lowest level of 3,000 yuan per month. Although bonuses were excluded, legally speaking, it was not a good deal for Xiaojiang. It was basically a slave contract!
The HR director who had just met Xiaojiang wiped away a cold sweat and began to doubt whether this young man had been kidnapped by Mr. Wei from somewhere.
For the next month, Wei Yuhuan really did bring Xiaojiang with him every day, whether it was for work, meetings, or eating, sleeping, and playing. He taught Xiaojiang how to make tea and coffee, how to speak some simple business English, told him some interesting stories from the business world, and took him to experience different things…
At first, Wei Yuhuan saw this as a novelty and didn’t think he had the patience to do it for too long. However, unexpectedly, Xiaojiang had a very strong ability to learn and was obedient and attentive. Every time Wei Yuhuan talked about something, Xiaojiang would stare at him with his big eyes, listening earnestly. This gave Wei Yuhuan a great sense of achievement and he felt like he had raised a little puppy. As time went by, he began to like Xiaojiang more and more.
As for Xiaojiang, this month of life was not work at all, it was a damn good life! It was so damn cool!
