430 Shesll Never Leave Me (1/2)
As expected, Ye Shuang was being secretly interrogated when Han Chu came to her rescue.
The old man did not care about Han Chu's nonsense about her being his girlfriend. Not knowing if it was true aside, even if it was, Father Han was not sexist. His son was able to wing it out there, so why would he doubt his daughter-in-law's ability?
If Han Chu was against the idea, he could not ask a pregnant woman to work in the field if they were married and pregnant. If that was a no-go, she could still work in the office.
Therefore, Father Han showed no mercy at all as he gathered talents who were close to him. He made Ye Shuang tell him many skills that she had hidden, whether by hinting or asking her directly.
Han Chu, who had been thinking it through along the way, was calmed when he arrived. He teased Father Han calmly as soon as he spoke. ”Doing some poaching here?”
”It's only natural that we aim high.” Father Han was highly competitive. He let go of the lady who was secretly wiping her cold sweat off and glared at his son. ”At least mine is a formal establishment with full insurance and security payments, off days, holidays, and occasional bonuses. The salary is stable, and there's a commission for each mission. It's much better than running around in the rain and sun with you out there. A girl should get a stable job.”
”You're changing the subject.” Han Chu scoffed as he walked over to the duo. Mother Han shoved a glass of water into his hand along the way as well as taking his jacket and laptop to the cabinet. ”Anyone can do a stable and boring job. No matter how formal and stable it is, the position you're recruiting for at the moment is much more dangerous and flexible than many other professions… At least she can just apply for leave anytime she wants with me. Can you let her off anytime she wants?”
Ye Shuang felt conflicted and happy at the same time. ”Why do I feel I'm selling like hot cakes now? Oh, thanks aunty.” She thanked Mother Han after accepting the juice.
Mother Han did not find her husband and son's fight to be awful. She pulled Ye Shuang over while watching as if she had gotten used to it. She even complimented the both, taking nobody's side. ”My Xiao Chu is an outstanding man. He's been doing his job well. Even a few of Old Han's men asked for his help. I heard that someone secretly worked part-time for him… but Old Han's benefits are great indeed. It's official, and you'll have our support if anything goes wrong.”
”… Who exactly are you siding, aunty?” Ye Shuang felt a little speechless.
”We're family, so we must not let opportunities slip out of the window.” Mother Han looked at the 'opportunity' that was Ye Shuang gently, showing that it was no concern at all.
Han Chu had figured that Father Han would definitely want to recruit Ye Shuang when Mother Han brought her home earlier. Apart from her being familiar with the family, the other reason was that she had the experience. Basically, none of the other talents who stayed by Han Chu's side were qualified to Father Han.
Even though Anthony was closed with the Han family, apart from them being close and liking Anthony, that was it.
Han Chu would turn a blind eye if it was somebody else, but not Ye Shuang.
Considering her body's situation and her joining a national establishment with her changing of gender every three days…
He declined Father Han's sharing the talent's suggestion with determination. He did not even want to hear about Father Han's compensation and firmly said, ”I won't give Ye Shuang to you!”
”… You're serious?” Father Han was finally sure that his son was serious. He lit a cigarette and noticed that Mother Han was glaring at him as soon as it was lit. He put it out, pretending to be calm.
He coughed twice and squinted at his son. ”Your reason?”
