Chapter 403 - Was the Boss a Fool (1/2)

”Receive what?” Xia Ruoxin had not come to her senses yet. She suddenly froze, and then she picked up her mobile phone from the side and read the message carefully.

”Did you remit that ten thousand dollars to me?”

A Sunny Day will Come: ”Yes, it's me. Don't get the wrong idea. This is our company's benefit. It all started with this bonus once you joined us.”

Did such a good company exist? Xia Ruoxin couldn't believe it until now. Ten thousand dollars just like that, and she hadn't even officially started work. Was the boss from Shi Lan Studio a fool?

She felt that she should return the money. After all, no credit, no gain. She had not done anything to earn it yet so she couldn't simply accept the money. Yet, she could feel the money in her hands still hot from the bank.

Never in this lifetime had she taken advantage of another. After a second thought, she decided to remit the money back to the company. She simply couldn't accept it. Otherwise, she would feel uneasy.

She began typing slowly on the keyboard.

Summer's Not Over: ”I am returning the money to you. This is our first collaboration. You can give it to me when I perform well in the future. If I don't, I won't be able to spend the money even when I have it.”

She was not dumb. She just felt that she should accept some money, but not this one. Someone was giving her a chance to prove herself. How could she take advantage of it? That must not be the case.

The other party didn't reply for a long time. Xia Ruoxin thought there wouldn't be any, and she was going to shut down her computer. Finally, the portrait flickered.

A Sunny Day Will Come: ”It's going to be yours anyway. Just treat it as the year-end bonus.”

Summer's Not Over: ”Then you can give it to me when the time comes for a year-end bonus.” After that, she sent a smiley face.

The other party sent one, too.

Summer's Not Over: ”I'm going offline. I will do my first submission in two days.”

A Sunny Day will Come: ”Alright. Goodbye.”

Summer's Not Over: ”Goodbye.”

Xia Ruoxin typed in her goodbye and shut down the computer. She rubbed her neck and wondered how one could sit in front of the computer every day. She had only done it for a short while, and she could feel her neck aching.

She twisted her neck uncomfortably before she stood up and went into the kitchen to cook something while waiting for Gao Yi's return. Being a doctor was tough. Gao Yi had a surgery today so he wouldn't be home until it's late.

She prepared his meal and left them heating in the pots. It would be ready when he came back. She didn't feel tired so she took out her easel and started painting.

The painting she was doing this time was a reflection after reading the article.

The story had a fairytale feel. The synopsis was about a man reuniting with a woman after they had gone their separate ways due to a dilemma. They encountered each other again a few years later and realized some people couldn't be replaced… and some things couldn't be forgotten.
