Chapter 422
She wants to share responsibility for Auntie’s salary with me? This feeling, it was somewhat inexplicably amusing! Someone to share his pressure?!The more time he spent with this girl, the more Xiao Linye found her interesting and novel. She always managed to surprise him.
"What are you laughing at?" Ye Yuning asked, not understanding.
Is he looking down on me?
Seeing her serious and earnest expression, Xiao Linye held back a laugh and shook his head. "Nothing, and you don’t need to worry about her salary either."
"My salary is quite high now. You don’t have to worry about me being under pressure."
"Oh? That woman gave you a raise? How much?"
"A monthly salary of twenty thousand. Generous, right?"
Ye Yuning casually mentioned a figure—the salary for a junior designer at a straightforward design studio.
Just junior-level! Once I reach the intermediate level and can complete large designs on my own, my salary will double—and not just double once!
Xiao Linye’s expression soured upon hearing twenty thousand. "Your skill level is worth more than just twenty thousand at Xiao’s."
He just knew that woman wouldn’t be so generous. Or was she blind? Could she not see the potential this girl had in the design world?
"You haven’t even considered what kind of place Xiao’s is," Ye Yuning said. "The work atmosphere and hours are completely different there. Asking for one hundred thousand a month wouldn’t be excessive."
Xiao Linye paused. Atmosphere and hours, too?
He had to admit, her time at Xiao’s hadn’t been too pleasant. So now, this girl surely held some prejudice against Xiao’s.
"Alright, as long as you’re happy," Xiao Linye said. "But don’t worry about Auntie’s salary. Just keep it for yourself to spend."
Ye Yuning was speechless.
She knew the salary she had mentioned would seem like a pittance to him! But from his attitude, she could also guess that his salary was probably higher than she had expected. Especially in a big company like Xiao’s, wouldn’t the year-end bonus alone be much higher than her small studio’s?
Lost in thought, she had already arrived at the studio’s basement garage.
Xiao Linye intended to escort Ye Yuning upstairs, but naturally, she was unwilling. "Don’t worry, I can manage on my own."
No matter what, she refused to let Xiao Linye accompany her.
Seeing her insistence, Xiao Linye didn’t press further and nodded. "Then if you have any problems, call me. Don’t push yourself too hard."
"I know, I know, there won’t be any issues."
She said it with complete ease.
Xiao Linye could tell from her demeanor that the work environment at Manlang was genuinely good. However, he still insisted on taking her to the elevator door.
Today, of the two elevators, one was under maintenance, and the other was still on an upper floor.
Ye Yuning glanced at the time on her phone and urged him, "You better hurry to work. We’re already at the elevator; nothing will happen."
"Alright, then be careful." Xiao Linye nodded.
He had a meeting starting soon.
Since they’re at the elevator, and she’ll be in the studio once she goes upstairs, there shouldn’t be any problems, he thought.
After giving her a few more reminders, he finally left.
Ye Yuning watched from the panoramic window of the elevator lobby as his car drove away.
She had arrived relatively early today, so most people who drove hadn’t arrived yet, and hardly anyone was coming up from the basement garage.
But once she reached the first floor, there were many more people!
DING! The elevator doors opened.
There were people inside.
Ye Yuning, suppressing the discomfort in her ankle, entered with a large bag of individually packaged beef jerky.
And then, the moment the elevator doors closed, the two men inside looked at her with a sinister gaze.
Ye Yuning’s heart skipped a beat. What’s going on?
Watching the gloomy eyes of the two men, her eyelids involuntarily twitched. Why are they staring at me like that? Were they attracted by the beef jerky?
"Hey, what are you doing? This is...! Ah, you bastards, let go...!"
...
「Five minutes later.」
Ye Yuning appeared dumbstruck at the entrance to her studio, her mind replaying the scene in the elevator.
She looked at her empty hands.
No way? Yesterday it was the building entrance, and today it’s directly in the studio’s elevator?! My bag and beef jerky have been snatched! Have these people gone mad? Totally mad?
Her breathing stopped.
"AHHH!" A hysterical scream rang out, startling Ye Yuning awake!
Immediately after, she saw Luo Xin rushing out from inside.
Seeing Ye Yuning, Luo Xin froze for a moment, then quickly ran towards her. "B-Boss, you’re here! Our office has been robbed!"
Ye Yuning was stunned into silence.
Already feeling suffocated, Ye Yuning was dumbstruck once again when she heard Luo Xin’s words. She had just been robbed, and now the studio had been burglarized? What the hell...?!
The elevator doors opened behind her, and Chen Wei, along with a few designers, stepped out.
Seeing Ye Yuning and Luo Xin, Chen Wei greeted respectfully, "Boss, you’re so early today."
Luo Xin was frantically trying to signal Chen Wei with her eyes.
Chen Wei, being very perceptive, quickly sensed something was amiss.
Her gaze swept over the office. When she saw the office was a complete mess, her first reaction was to wonder if she had entered the wrong place.
But seeing Ye Yuning and Luo Xin both present, she knew she hadn’t made a mistake.
"Th-this...! N-no way?" Seeing the chaotic scene before her, Chen Wei stammered. "How could their office have been burglarized?!"
