Chapter 37: Forcing An Honest Girl Into Selling Herself
“Thank you for your compliment, Young Master Song.” Not only was Dou Bin not annoyed for being compared to a dog, he was nodding cheerfully instead.
Song Shi Cheng than looked at Dou Bin again and said, “Before I hire you, there’s still one concern I want answer. You’re very capable and I’m sure can definitely make it on your own. So, why would you want to work under me?”
“What I can achieve on my own is small-scaled. If I want to make it big, the best way to do so would be to work under a mover and shaker like Young Master Song.” Dou Bin took this chance to butter up to Song Shi Cheng.
“Bootlicker!” Song Shi Cheng immediately said out loud what’s on everyone’s mind. Regardless of that, he still smiled with satisfaction, “But I like it very much. When Uncle De is back, you will follow him to get ten million dollars. This will be your start-up capital. I want you to materialise the project stored within here. Do a good job and you’ll be heavily rewarded!”
Song Shi Cheng handed the tablet which contained the details of Online Healthcare Mutual-Aid Funds to Dou Bin.
“I won’t disappoint you, Young Master Song!” Dou Bin supressed his own excitement as he took the tablet with both hands.
This had caused the other applicants applying for that role of professional manager to be disappointed.
Only the ladies who’re applying for the role of personal assistant remained enthusiastic. In fact, these ladies were even more fervent than the previous group of applicants.
After all, a professional manager will only be one of Song Shi Cheng’s retainers. As for the role of a personal assistant, she will become Song Shi Cheng’s woman if she was selected. These beautiful women are more than willing to sleep their way to the top. Although they won’t have a chance at being his wife, they would still be set for life once they become one of his concubines.
It’s just a pity Song Shi Cheng had already set his eyes on the protagonist’s “concubine.” Thus, he didn’t show any interest to any of the other female applicants who were playing with their hair coquettishly. He just plainly said, “The interview is over. You all can leave now.”
This had immediately dampened the enthusiasm shown by all the other women. Before they could even ask why, they had already been courteously escorted away by Chui Zi and the other security personnel.
“You are to remain here!” Song Shi Cheng said when he saw Yuan Jia was planning to leave with the rest of the crowd.
Dou Bin had the good sense of immediately stopping her and said with a smile, “Miss Yuan, Young Master Song would like to have a few word with you. There’s no need to take your leave so hastily.”
“Asshole!” Yuan Jia could only glare at Dou Bin and mumble. Essentially, she was feeling rather restless for being detained.
“As I said earlier, you won’t be mistreated as long as you behave.” Song Shi Cheng slowly phrased his words. “Bear in mind our previous account had yet to be settled.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about!” Yuan Jia forced herself to remain calm. She then sneakily put her hands into her pocket as she calmly said, “However, I do know something Young Master wouldn’t want anyone to know, especially the media.”
Definitely a petite sassy girl who’s not be messed with. She’s already like a lamb to the slaughter yet she still dared to engage in a battle of with Song Shi Cheng.
Normally, Yuan Jia as the victim had the morale high group on that unspeakable night. However, the subsequent event that had transpired had made her somewhat uneasy and guilty.
Song Shi Cheng who was the author naturally knew the full story to the subsequent event.
In the hotel that night, after Ye Tian had woken Yuan Jia up, she had actually dragged Young Master Song who was knocked out to the toilet and placed his head inside the toilet bowl to vent her anger.
Young Master Song had waked up fuming the next day.
At that time, it was very fulfilling for him to borrow the heroine to make fun of the antagonist. However, he’s now in Young Master Song’s body. There’s no way he can just let it slide now.
“Now that we have reached this point, you still dared to feign ignorance? Is it that you expect a knight in shining armour will come to save you just like the other night? Why don’t you just end the phone call? Even if Ye Tian heard this conversation, he wouldn’t be able to make it in time to save you.” Song Shi Cheng sardonically smiled at Yuan Jian.
Yuan Jian instantly turned pale. She never expects this young master’s perception to be so sharp and had actually discovered her minute action asking for help.
As such, Yuan Jia could only pulled her hand reluctantly out from her pocket while gritting her teeth. “I have just sent out my current GPS location. If I don’t leave this place safely… In any case, I believe Young Master Song wouldn’t want to stir up a hornet’s nest over someone as insignificant as me right?”
“You’re quite smart and handle pressure well.”
Song Shi Cheng complemented her with a smile. “It’s just that you’re still somewhat lacking. Do you really think this Young Master is stupid enough to first rape you before leaving for dead? This type of tasteless revenge is pointless.”
Yuan Jia quickly realized she had underestimated this despicable and lascivious young master. She cautiously asked, “What are planning exactly?”
Song Shi Cheng was not in a hurry to answer her. He just lit a cigarette and began smoking it leisurely. Uncle De and Manager Fang had returned just nicely when the cigarettes burnt out.
“Young Master, the task you assigned me has been completed.” Uncle De than passed a leather folder to Song Shi Cheng.
Song Shi Cheng asked without taking the folder, “Are you sure you have gathered each and every single one of it?”
“Young Master Song, please be assured that every single debt that Yuan Jia’s family owed is here. All the creditors had transferred the debt to us after we paid them off.” Manager Fang respectfully answered.
Yuan Jia instantly turned pale and asked in fear, “What have you people done?”
“Yuan Jia, watch your tone. Is this how you speak to your benefactor? If Young Master Song didn’t pay off all your family debts, could you imagine what tragedy will befall your family?” Manager Fang berated Yuan Jia.
“If you still don’t understand what has happened, let me explain it to you. I have bought over all the debts your family owed. That means I’m now your biggest creditor!” Song Shi Cheng cockily said. “So now, is there anything you would like to say to this benefactor of yours who is also your biggest creditor?”
“How did you even knew about this matter?!” Yuan Jia’s calmness had finally evaporated as she angrily asked. She had felt vulnerable as if her fate was now in someone else hand.
Until today, Song Shi Cheng shouldn’t have known about her family’s background. As such, she couldn’t figure out how Song Shi Cheng could discover the huge debts owed by her family in such a short amount of time and had all the debts bought over.
Song Shi Cheng disapprovingly said, “There’s no need for me to explain myself. The only thing you need to know is you’ll be submitting to me from now onwards.”
It was not because Song Shi Cheng has nothing better to do, he just didn’t want her to side with Ye Tian. More importantly, the System had issued a compulsory mission for him to marry Chen Xiao Yan, he was now worried the System might force her to pursue the other heroines as well in the future. So, he might as well tie Yuan Jia to his own harem now rather than leaving behind a potential danger.
Because of his identity as the novel’s antagonist, similar to his predicament with Chen Xiao Yan, there’s no way he could win over Yuan Jia by appeasing her. Thus, he could only resort to underhanded method. He will compel Yuan Jia with the debts her family had accrued.
As to how Song Shi Cheng knew about the debts in the first place, it was because he had followed the standard Urban Literature plotline. After the protagonist had cured the heroine’s parent illness with his superb medical skill, the heroine will be so touched that she willingly gave herself to the protagonist. It was another one of those mundane plotline developments.
Previously, Ye Tian ad already helped Yuan Jia by curing his father illness. What Ye Tian didn’t know was Yuan Jia had accrued a huge debt in the process of trying to cure her father’s illness. If things were to progress as he had planned to write, the creditors would soon be at Yuan Jia’s family door demanding for their money. Yuan Jia will then turn to Ye Tian to help her again. Deeply touched, Yuan Jia will then help Ye Tian in his great undertaking. As time progress, she would be won over by Ye Tian’s various virtues thus willingly becoming one his concubines even if she’ll had to face the public criticisms.
Song Shi Cheng felt lucky he had not written these chapters yet. The biggest fortune of all, he managed to take the initiative after Yuan Jia had delivered herself to his doorstep because of the recruitment notice he had posted.
Although him resorting to ‘forcing an honest girl into selling herself’ method amoral, Song Shi Cheng actually felt quite pleased with the fact that being a hooligan had its own advantages.
