Chapter 63 - The Affair Plan (1) (1/2)

Translator: Lionwwang  Editor: Lionwwang

The next day, I discharge from the hospital.

All aspects of my body have been checked. The test standards are completely with national standards. There isn’t any quality problem. In Amy’s words, I am as strong as a wild animal.

(Here’s a writer’s joke which he mentions Chen Yang’s body is tested like a machine system check, just like sort of ISO9001/14001 standard)

I go back to company this morning.

During the rest days in the hospital, Nanny did not come to see me again. I guess what happened that day might leave her with an embarrassing impression. But I have convinced myself that it would be wise to strangle the trouble in its infancy, since she should not be provoked.

Nanny is very kind to me. She paid the bill for all the medical expenses. On the day I transferred to the ward, she has sent a check to deposite a large sum of money.

It can be said that she has done everything to me. When I am on the way to company, I feel ashamed and very embarrassed to see Nanny.

Why? It’s very simple. I have lost the diamond brooch which worths one million and the ring worths five million. Is this a small thing?

Anyway, I have made up my mind. I must find out a way to pay these monies back to her. Even if I go to sell organs and sell blood, I will never owe her money any more.

When I meet her, how angry she would be, or vent her discontent with me, or curse me, even punch and kick me… I will all endure! In a word, I owe her!

By the way, I take a bank card on hand, which contains most of my assets.

It’s totally less than six hundred thousand, which were from the lottery prize, from Jimmy Chou, and my own saving. Although these monies are not enough to compensate for the diamond brooch and the ring. But I am very confident, I have the full version of the lucky ring, I will be able to earn money to pay her as soon as possible.

I park Nanny’s Audi A8 in the underground parking lot. She just threw it to me without asking these days… Maybe she doesn’t want to see me?

Upstairs to the company, all the way in, enter Deep Blue Entertainment’s door. That hot girl sees me come in, is smiling. But there is some curiosity in her smile.

As I walk through the office, white-collar ladies from many departments stand up and look at me with some unnatural eyes. I am stunned for a moment to check my clothes. Well, the zipper does not open.

“Penny!” When I reach the door of Nanny’s office, Penny is answering a phone call. When she sees me coming, just nodding to me, motioning me to wait, and then going on talking.

“Well, OK! I’ll tell Miss Fang when she gets back. Well… Please rest assured. OK! Good bye!”

After waiting for Penny to finish the phone call, my first sentence is: “Nanny… Miss Fang is not inside?”

“Yes, not here.” Penny is looking at me and smiling. Her smile is very profound. The woman in her thirties, with a shrewd and capable temperament, grins, “Chen Yang, are you completely recovered?”

“I’m all right now.” I answer her, then ask her, “Nanny… Miss Fang isn’t here. Where did she go?”

Sensing the difference in my appellation to Nanny, she keeps smiling and says: “Miss Fang has gone abroad and will not be back this week.”

One sentence of her strangles all my disjointed thoughts.

Nanny has actually gone abroad?!

“Miss Fang went to Korea and have sighed the contact with Minister Kim successfully. Now she is there for business trip. The next day after you were injured and entered the hospital, she just flew away.” Penny tidies up the files on desk, and says, “Chen Yang, are you really full recovered?”

I sigh, hesitate and speak nothing.

Be honestly! Today I come here, first purpose is I’m going to have a talk with Nanny. At least I’ve lost something valuable, so I have to make a confession. As for the second purpose, I’m here to resign.

Nanny’s attitude towards me, even the blind can see something wrong. Now I have made up my mind, I shouldn’t stay with her anymore. Otherwise, it would be very dangerous for her and me.

But she is not here today.

I’ve been brewing for a long time, but I can’t say any word now.

“So… Did she leave any words to me before she left?” I hesitate and ask, “About my work…”

“Well, yes.” Penny smiles gently, “Chen Yang, I want to congratulate you… Miss Fang left a message before she has left, and has adjusted your job. She is going to let you be in charge of the Department 2’s commercial activities. To put it simply, you’ve got a promotion! You were only a private employee of Miss Fang. As long as you sign this contract, you will become a formal member of Deep Blue Entertainment.”

I’m stunned.

Nanny does not want me to continue to serve as her personal assistant. After all, we are in an awkward position now. But she didn’t fire me directly, but kept me in her company… Although she has changed my work, but it seems that she is still trying to keep me closely.

Penny has put a ready contract in front of me. I look at it. It’s an employment contract which Nanny has signed it. Her delicate signature falls on the lower right. And the date was the day she came to the hospital.

I think about it seriously for a while, instead of pick up the contract, I look at Penny and ask: “Can I say I don’t want to accept it?”

With a sigh, she stands up, supports her glasses, walking slowly to a sofa in front of her, motions me to sit down, and then bring me a glass of water.

“Chen Yang… I don’t know whether I should say or not. After all, I am Miss Fang’s secretary. Her decision, I have no right to ask. But I can see something a little bit.” There are some intelligent lights in her eyes, and some mockery of her voice, “Anyway, I am more than 30 years old and I have seen a lot of things.”

I listen to her silently.

“I’ve been working with Miss Fang for quite a long time. I believe I know her. Chen Yang, I don’t want to tell you otherthing else. But I think, as for you… No matter you accept this job or not… You’d better talk to her yourself, say it to her face to face! This at least indicates your sincerity and respect for her. What do you think?”

Penny is good! Her words are not tough but very reasonable. Indeed, no matter I quit or not, before Nanny’s back, I should not just leave in this way. Otherwise, it will be too unfair to her.

I’m a man. If I decide to leave, I should explain to her face to face!

But whether I should stay and take the new work assignment?

I am a little embarrassed again.

“Penny… I don’t know anything about the company’s business operations. How long have I been working for Miss Fang? I’m totally no idea of the business now. She lets me become the head of a department 2 suddenly, do you think I am able to do it? And…” I don’t finish it, but just sigh. But with Penny’s cleverness, she should be able to understand what I mean. I still have to go anyway!

“Chen Yang… To be honest, I don’t think you can do it well right away either. At least I’ve seen your educational background, not very high. Although you seem to have been in charge of an entertainment place, but our entertainment business is the regular business, totally different with your previous one. But as I said just now, this is Miss Fang’s decision. I have no authority to ask. What I can do is to give you some advice… I think you should stay first! Miss Fang treats you so good! Since she has left something for you to do, do you think you can fail her? At least, you have to do the best before she comes back. Be a man, there should be a man’s responsibilities!”

I know very well that Penny is taking me to the ditch. But I don’t have the courage to refute her.

She’s right. Nanny does treat me very good! However, I need to wait for her back. Before that, even if I don’t want to, I have to stay in the company and work hard.

After all, I do owe Nanny!

“OK, I’ll stay!” I sigh.

It’s only for a week. I just take care of that department and make sure not to make any trouble.

Looking at me nodding, Penny finally smiles. This time, the smile on her face is genuine. She looks at me two times and says: “OK, I know I’m right about you. You are at least a man with principle.”

Then Penny takes me to a small conference room and brings a lot of files. She takes an hour to do the training for me.

In general, Nanny’s Deep Blue Entertainment is a middle size company which is focus in entertainment fields. But it’s not a movie or record company, and no actor or actress or singer agent business. Its business is more to organize some activities, which are linking to the entertainment circle.
