"Even if I can't afford to pay now, I will earn the money and repay you slowly."
"Five million."
"What? A bracelet for five million? Are you robbing me?"
Rong Shengsheng said, as she picked up the jade bracelet from the ground and looked at it with disbelief, "Although the bracelet is top-notch, it's not worth that much. My child indeed accidentally broke your bracelet, but you can't just quote an exorbitant price like that."
Li Hanxian glanced at his watch, his impatience becoming more apparent, and said coldly, "Zhou Kuan, you handle the compensation. I have a meeting in half an hour, I'll go ahead."
"Yes."
After speaking, Li Hanxian strode off, walking straight ahead and getting into an opulent Cayenne.
Zhou Kuan took out a piece of paper, wrote down a bank account number, and politely passed it over, saying, "Just transfer the compensation to this card. If there are any issues, I'll contact you directly."
"You're just taking advantage of the situation to blackmail me! Five million... that's way too much."
"This is an ancestral jade bracelet, letting you pay is already President Li's mercy; he's not asking you to go to jail."
Zhou Kuan smiled and couldn't help but take a few more glances at Miaomiao and Qinqin, who were just too adorable, and their facial features bore a striking resemblance to Li Hanxian.
If Li Hanxian wasn't unmarried, he would have suspected they were Li Hanxian's children.
Clutching that piece of paper, Rong Shengsheng felt as if she had been struck by lightning and couldn't move for a long time.
Miaomiao's lips were puckered, and big tears kept rolling down as she pitifully apologized, "Mommy, I'm sorry, it's all because I was careless... You can hit me."
Qinqin stood protectively in front of Miaomiao, "It's my fault for not looking after my sister well. It's all my fault. Mommy, if you have to hit someone, hit me, don't blame my sister."
Rong Shengsheng sighed deeply, looking at her two children with heartache, and reached out her hand.
Miaomiao and Qinqin closed their eyes, waiting to be slapped, but Rong Shengsheng's hand instead landed on their heads, gently caressing them,
"Silly children, how could Mommy bear to hit you? Besides, hitting you won't solve anything. Money can be earned again, as long as you two are okay, that's all that matters."
The two children felt unbearably sad and flung themselves into Rong Shengsheng's arms, crying, "Mommy..."
Miaomiao and Qinqin had always been very sensible, only a bit playful and mischievous. This time it was just an accident that caused such a disaster.
Rong Shengsheng was incredibly worried. Five million, even selling herself short wouldn't cover it. What was she going to do now?
After much difficulty, Rong Shengsheng found a small rental, bought some furniture, and only after busying themselves until late in the evening did the three of them have dinner.
The meal was very simple, too.
Watching Miaomiao and Qinqin gobbling down their food, Rong Shengsheng felt overwhelmingly guilty. She wiped away the rice grains from Miaomiao's mouth, her eyes full of sorrow, "Are you starved? I'm sorry, my darlings, for making you suffer with me."
Miaomiao puckered her lips and said happily, "As long as we're with Mommy, even eating brans and vegetable leaves is a joy."
Qinqin nodded in agreement, "Mommy, we don't feel it's hard when we're with you."
"We have Mommy, we're the happiest little darlings in the world."
Hearing these words, Rong Shengsheng tearfully broke down.
That night five years ago, she hadn't gotten a clear look at the man, nor did she know who he was. So much time had passed, and she couldn't find him anymore.
But no matter, she would support her children on her own, no matter how hard, she would persevere.
——
The next day, Rong Shengsheng got up early.
The two treasures by her side slept soundly; Miaomiao seemed to be dreaming about some delicious treat, smacking her lips and drooling in her sleep.
She bent down to kiss them, covered Qinqin with the blanket, and after washing up, made sure all the doors and windows were locked before leaving to look for a job.
She didn't have much money left and had to earnestly make money, with a debt of 5 million to boot, how could she not earn money?
Feast Group.
Rong Wanwan filled out the application form and sat for nearly two hours before it was her turn for the interview.
After looking at her resume, the interviewers shook their heads and sighed, "We only recruit from prestigious universities; we generally don't consider those from ordinary universities. You don't meet our requirements."
Rong Shengsheng had anticipated the interviewers would say something like this, so she calmly handed them the perfume she had formulated, "I believe Feast Group cares more about a perfumer's ability than their academic background."
The interviewer sniffed the perfume and a look of surprise appeared on his previously disdainful face, "Did you make this perfume?"
"Of course, only I have the formula."
One of the interviewers named Zheng Yan excitedly stood up, "You're hired. One month probation period; if you pass the assessment, you'll become a permanent employee."
The perfume was truly exceptional; he knew it was a superior product as soon as he smelled it.
Feast Group hadn't produced any stunning perfumes in a long while, and with competitors gaining formidable momentum while pressure was mounting from above, they were exactly in need of such a talented perfumer.
Rong Shengsheng was full of surprise, not expecting things to go so smoothly. It seemed she was one step closer to her dream.
After completing the hiring process, Zheng Yan took her on a walk around the company to get familiar with the work environment.
Back in college, her dream was to enter the renowned Feast Group and become a top perfumer.
Then, a series of events had delayed her for five years. Now that the children could attend kindergarten, she could pursue her dream again.
"This place is the fragrance storeroom. You must log your use of any materials..."
Zheng Yan gave a brief introduction.
"During working hours, what are you two chatting about here??"
A bone-chilling voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Zheng Yan shuddered instantly upon seeing the man's stern face, his whole body breaking out in a cold sweat as he hurried over, respectfully saying, "President Li, I'm just showing the new perfumer around. We will start work shortly."
"We've recruited a new perfumer?"
"Yes, this perfumer has exceptional abilities, and the perfume she made is very unique, just the sort of perfumer we need."
Li Hanxian narrowed his cold eyes as his gaze fell on Rong Shengsheng.
They locked eyes, both furrowing their brows.
In unison, they said, "How could it be you?"
Rong Shengsheng inhaled sharply, her face full of shock. Her debtor was also her boss?
The world was indeed very small.
How had she ended up running into him again?
From the side, Zheng Yan quietly reminded her, "This is President Li of Feast Group, your boss. Aren't you going to greet him?"
Rong Shengsheng came back to her senses and lowered her head. "President Li."
Li Hanxian's expression was dark, his handsome face betraying no emotion, yet the words he uttered were colder than the December winter, "Recruit someone else, dismiss her!"
