Chapter 85 - The Boss’s Tempting Offer (4)
Yan Shuyu’s nervousness was all gone when the boss reminded her about the seat belt. Now that he asked her a question casually, she also responded equally casually, “He’s home. I get off relatively early compared to others. The ones that work the night shift have to stay until 11 PM.”
Zhou Qinhe gave her a look and said, “That’s still not great. Have you ever considered switching to a different job?”
Yan Shuyu has certainly accepted Manager Yang’s suggestion and decided to ask Instructor Lin for a job when they meet up. But right now, nothing was set in stone yet, and she hasn’t even told any of her buddies at work, not to mention Zhou Qinhe, who wasn’t even a friend of hers. She merely replied very conservatively, “It’s alright. I just started this job as well.”
Never in a million years would she expect the boss to tell her point blank, “There’s an opening in the administration department at my company. Work hours are 9 – 5 with no overtime and doesn’t require too much skills. That might be more suitable for you.”
Yan Shuyu gulped and asked in disbelief, “Your company?”
Zhou Qinhe nodded.
The Zhou’s Corporation ranked among the top 500 in the world, and one of the top ones at that. They were the kind of company that only accept candidates from the top 3 colleges in the country, not to mention all sorts of prominent universities overseas. Not to mention, there were all sorts of amazing benefits. Once she got in because the boss, as long as she didn’t eff out, she could pretty much stay till the day she retired.
Truth be told, Yan Shuyu was very tempted at the opportunity, much more than becoming Mrs. Zhou. After all, with her qualifications from her previous life, she wouldn’t even dream about ever getting into a company of that caliber. Once she gets in, even just as an administrative personnel, she would still be way ahead of any of her peers, alright?
The temptation was so attractive that Yan Shuyu had to struggle for a few seconds before her rational side finally won over. It was because she recalled the ending story arc of the stepmom and how much effort she had put in since the day she had transmigrated for the boss to forget about the incident where she had bedded him. The little male lead seemed to be friendly to her as well. As long as she remained a safe distance from the two of them, her future was looking quite good.
If she accepted the boss’s favor, she was just walking into the fire herself. Why would she ever do that?
Thinking about the story arc, Yan Shuyu had no choice but to decline the boss’s offer. It felt painful to give this up. Moreover, she came up with a very good excuse, “I’ve heard that the politics at a large corporation could be very daunting. I will have to politely decline. I am quite happy where I am at currently, and everybody there is nice to me.”
Zhou Qinhe lifted his brows and gave her another look as though he was surprised by her final decision. But, they had already arrived at her place, and he didn’t have the opportunity to pursue the subject further. He merely gave a noncommittal “Mmm” and stopped the car.
The next second, Yan Shuyu quickly released the seat belt and more or less scrambled out of the car. She barely remembered to wave goodbye at the boss only after she was standing outside of the car.
The reason she was so frantic was because she had no faith in herself. She might have declined the boss’s help with the best reason, but she just might regret her decision the very next second. The opportunity of working for a large corporation was simple too tempting. =.=
