Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 587 Yang Yang Agreed

Lily chose a grilled fish restaurant quite far from the company and specifically requested a small private room in the far corner of the restaurant.

Firstly, she didn't want the company to discover her contact with Xiaoling's boyfriend (a former policeman) before things were settled; secondly, there wasn't much to say about what they were going to discuss next, and it really needed to be kept secret.

Finally, Lily liked the environment here, which allowed her to briefly escape the materialistic entertainment scene and catch her breath.

So even though she waited for a long time, she didn't care much and treated it as a good time to relax.

"Sister Lily~" Xiaoling, who was late, pushed open the door and deliberately dragged out the last syllable, with a smile on her face, as if she had returned to the time when the two of them were inseparable.

She exaggeratedly wrapped her arm around Lily's and pressed herself against her: "Lily, it's my treat today, don't you dare argue!"

"Alright, we're so close, I won't stand on ceremony." Lily smiled and nodded in agreement, glancing down at the ground.

"Yeah~" Xiaoling laughed happily.

"Where's Xiao Yang?" Lily picked up her cup, took a sip of tea, and asked casually, after all, he was the main character today.

"He went to park the car."

Parking? He couldn't even afford a phone before, and now he has a car after just a few days?

Lily couldn't understand this kind of spending habit at all and couldn't help but ask, "Did you two buy a car?"

Xiaoling proudly raised her chin: "Yes! It's an electric scooter!"

"Xiaoling, I remember you rented a place in the neighborhood right next to the company, so there's no need to buy a car. It's so close, I think an electric scooter would be enough."

"Lily, you're so out of touch! Let me tell you, these new energy vehicles are all the rage now, driving one makes you look really cool."

Who is it for?
Who would give such a huge favor?

Drinking at night and sleeping during the day, how can you have time to drive?
Lily nodded with a forced smile and chimed in, "You Gen Z kids are so trendy. I'm definitely out of touch. By the way, what brand is your car? It must have cost a lot of money."

Zero down payment!

Xiaoling was smug and completely forgot that she had just taken more than 100,000 yuan in cash from someone not long ago.

Zero down payment car purchases are actually an elaborate scam. The trick is to use "zero down payment" as a lure to attract customers who don't have any spare cash, and then trick them into financing their purchase through car loans while mortgaging the vehicle.

When you drive home, you might think the steering wheel in your hands and the car under your seat are yours, but in reality, you're just temporarily holding onto it. The day you can no longer afford the exorbitant interest rates, your car, equipped with numerous GPS devices, will be towed away in the blink of an eye.

Ultimately, free things are always the most expensive.

For a moment, Lily felt a pang of regret for the money she had given away, but considering that she would have to rely on the girl's boyfriend to back her up, she could only grit her teeth and bear it, treating it as a prelude to something more.

"By the way, Lily, did you talk to the boss about me being the mommy?

Squeak.

The door to the private room was opened, interrupting Xiaoling's question.

At that moment, a boy walked in; it was Xiaoling's boyfriend, Yang Yang.

He had long, greasy hair, heavy eye bags, and was overweight. You would never guess that just two years ago he was a handsome, sunny, and respected policeman.

Yang Yang entered the room, glanced at Lily, nodded as a greeting, then walked over to his girlfriend and sat down next to her. He then took out a brand new cell phone from his pocket and placed it on the table.

The notch screen unique to Apple iPhones.

Lily pushed the order form and pen on the table over and said politely, "Yang Yang, come and order."

Yang Yang snorted and said nothing. He picked up a pen and scribbled a lot of dishes on the order form before calling the waiter over and telling him to hurry up and bring the food.

She then kept her head down, playing on her phone. She only said one sentence without looking up, her tone full of disdain: "Lingling, what kind of agent friend did you find? They even installed three GPS devices in the car!"

Xiaoling comforted him gently, even with a touch of coquetry, saying not to worry about the GPS devices, that she would earn money to pay off the loan every month, and that Yang Yang shouldn't fret.

This scene made Lily very uncomfortable. Thinking about her colleague Sister Wang's affair, and the young men and models dating other women in the company, for a fleeting moment, she had the urge to earn enough money quickly, leave this awful place, and go back to her hometown to settle down. But what Lily didn't know was...
When her nightly earnings from table fees, commissions, and tips from illegal orders easily reach several thousand yuan, she can no longer go back to the ordinary job where she had to work hard for a month to earn only a few thousand yuan.

When a customer is embracing a young woman while lying to his wife at home about being in a meeting or working overtime, she can no longer believe in romantic love between men and women, or in the familial affection that develops after marriage.

When she returned to her hometown for the holidays and saw that the top student she had been in her childhood was now earning less than her, she could no longer believe that studying and hard work could lead to wealth.

When the girls, mothers, and managers around her are all carrying high-end bags and clothes, and receiving lavish beauty treatments every month, claiming it's an investment in themselves, she's unlikely to develop the habit of saving money and cutting back on expenses.

Just like the self-suggested rewards and relaxation she had earlier, it was actually indulgence: smoking the most famous slim cigars, drinking the most expensive foreign liquors, getting used to these things that normal office workers could hardly afford, it would be difficult to go back.

She kept comforting herself with the thought that she could earn some money, go back to her hometown, and marry an honest man. But in reality, during this time, her values ​​had been unknowingly distorted.

She no longer believes in marriage because she has seen too much of the glitz and glamour of life; she no longer has any faith other than money because money is the greatest sense of security.

She is no longer herself.

At the dinner table, Lily personally toasted Yang Yang a few times, flattered him, and said some nice things, which immediately made him feel flattered.

Having been immersed in the world of entertainment, Lily mastered these flattering skills with ease.

Yang Yang accepted all offers without hesitation. Under the other party's unrestrained flattery, he quickly became tipsy, his face flushed, and he began to pat his chest and talk loudly, showing off his past as a policeman.

Just as Xiaoling said, she was still living in the past. Lily was disdainful in her heart, but she still showed an expression of admiration on her face.

She poured another glass of wine for him and finally brought up the topic of the evening: "Yang Yang, why don't you come work for our company? Our boss is generous and will definitely give you a satisfactory salary."

A while ago, when Lily was competing with Sister Wang for a gig, she brazenly made a promise in public that the boss hadn't actually made, and it worked extremely well. Afterwards, although her promise to "book the entire table" wasn't fulfilled, no one dared to object.

As time goes by, the negative effects will fade away.

She firmly grasped the benefits.

From then on, whenever Lily encountered a problem at work that she couldn't solve immediately, she would habitually point out, "This is the boss's idea," and it always worked.

But this time, they suffered a major setback.

Yang Yang, who was enthusiastically recounting his past experiences, was not buying it. He snorted coldly and said rudely, "Me, a former policeman, working at your nightclub? Your boss must be dreaming."

How dare a guy who can't even afford a cell phone, who only knows how to drink and beg women for money, act so self-righteous?

Lily was furious, but considering she still needed to utilize his resources, she could only try to reason with him gently: "Yang Yang, you've misunderstood me. How could someone of your stature be just an employee like us? The boss said you'll be a partner in the company, with shares!"

The boss, who knew nothing about the matter, was once again dragged into the blame by Lily, but she remained calm and spoke with conviction, as if this was the natural course of events.

She had also figured out the share issue. She would be fine to allocate a portion of her share and transfer it to the other party privately.

Yang Yang was also taken aback. Although he had his own pride, he wasn't stupid. He knew his current embarrassing situation of having neither money nor a job, otherwise he wouldn't be drinking and getting drunk every day.

Forget about giving him shares, even just a manager's position would be pretty good. What he really wants is just another way to back down gracefully.

His previous behavior was also a result of cheap pride.

Xiaoling, who had always longed to become a mother, was well aware of the lucrative situation of the company's management. For example, Sister Lily, who had only been the supervisory department manager for a little over a month, had her office piled high with expensive cigars and liquor, and even the clothes she wore were Chanel.

These are things that Xiaoling never dared to dream of before.

She took a deep drag of her cigarette, then slammed the butt down on the table. Without a second thought, she rushed to Lily's side and asked in a trembling voice:

"Lily, is that really what the boss means?"

Lily turned her gaze to Xiaoling's expectant eyes and nodded, "Yes."

Xiaoling reached out and grabbed Lily's sleeve with such force that it seemed she was about to tear it.

She said quickly, "Lily, tell the boss that Yang Yang agreed! We agreed! We can start work tomorrow, no, tonight! Right now!"
