Li walked into the office and it was fifteen minutes to the closing time. He noticed his assistants still busy, he scanned the office. He noticed the files were now arranged and the other duties done.
Zhao walked into the office, "Li? A moment."
Li moved closer to him, "Hey. What?" He whispered.
"You are supposed to pay them daily for their services a few minutes to the closing time." He tapped Li's shoulders and walked away smiling. Li knew that amount of yuan was too good to be true. He's glad they are just three.
He turned to them, "Remember your daily pay before you leave. I need an accountant here." He walked towards his seat, he sat for a while.
"Sir I know someone with the skill. A really good level of immunity and transparency too. I'll call her in." Su Yue said.
Her? He wanted a he, not a her.
"Her name? Perhaps?" Li asked.
"Jane. Her name is Jane. Jane Zhang. She's a neighbor of mine."
Li raised his eyebrows to that. "Jane? Can I see her tomorrow?"
"Yes sir. If you want, I could call her back today."
"No. Tomorrow. I've had a busy day. I need to rest a little." Li turned to Lin Yan, "Lin? You'll need to make up a daily salary for the three of you and the upcoming accountant. Make a list and hand it to me."
Lin replied, "Sir it's fifteen minutes to the closing time."
Li turned to her, "And?"
"It's almost time to leave the office."
"Then work faster. Five minutes is all you have." Li sat back.
Lin turned her chair back to the desk. She took out a piece of paper and write out the salary expectations. She passed the paper to him politely. "Here sir. I'm done."
He read the paper, "Ten thousand yuan daily! Are you crazy?! Why would you do that?! Who asked you to do something as dumb as this. Rewrite it! Who writes down ten thousand you an daily? Have you ever seen that?" He scolded harshly.
"I'm sorry sir, what amount would you want me to write down." She asked.
"You thief. Well I guess paying you three a thousand yuan a day is fine by me."
The three of them turned to him, they couldn't believe their ears. One thousand yuan a day? That's the salary for some person a month. They stared at him until he asked, "What? What are you looking at?"
"Thank you sir." Shen said.
He turned to Shen. He knew he came from a poor background, just like him. "Shen? You are welcome."
Su Yue thanked him as well, Lin on the other hand really wanted the ten thousand yuan. So she stood there waiting for an extra payment. Li noticed it, "The two of you can close for the day. You can leave the office right now."
They cleaned up and moved out of the office. Lin Yan asked, "Sir? What about me?"
"Clearly you'd like to sleep here. Don't you? Why are you still standing there, being ungrateful to me. One thousand yuan is extremely expensive for your type."
"But it's not for me. It's too small. I do most of the work at this office. I need a raise. I completed all my tasks." She said.
"Excuse me?"
"Sir please. I'll do anything to get a pay raise. What can I do for it. Ask me."
Li didn't like where this moved to, he didn't like the aspect of the discussion. She was moving towards the sexual aspect. "Sir?"
"Fine. I'll give you the money only if you do me a favor."
"Yes I will!"
"Why are you so happy? You don't even know what it is and you are already happy?"
"Yes I am!"
"You'll come to the red party tonight. You'll be my escort to the red party, wear your best and look beautiful. That's all."
"Of course sir. I will and I'll make sure I'll be the best and only escort you'll enjoy. Do you need any service tonight?"
"I'll think about it. Maybe a little but just look sexy enough for me to compete and win with my mates. Is that clear?"
"Yes sir. I will." She said.
He reached for his pocket and dropped on the table, five thousand yuan. "Take this and get a nice dress, good makeup and have a nice hair done. You'll receive the balance at the red party. Come alone."
"Yes sir. I will. Thank you much."
"You may leave now. Also remember, this must remain between us and us alone. I don't want any third parties."
"I promise you. No one will even suspect a thing."
"Leave." She picked up her bag and walked out of the office excited at her latest achievement.
He walked out of the office with the second key. He locked the door and felt like some sort of high ended politician. He got into the elevator and walked out of the building.
He noticed he needed a car and couldn't think of a better choice than one from the Jade industries. He noticed he already had one signed by Zhao Ming. He smiled and drove off to his house.
It's 8:35pm. The party starts at 9pm. He received a message from Lin asking him to pick her up for their already planned date. He agreed and drove off to meet her wearing a dark green suit and a pair of black trousers. He stared at Lin as she walked down the stairs, he loved her dark green dress with the hair. He nearly dived into a state of daydreaming.
They arrived at the party, Li noticed all types of Jade personnels were there with their side chicks and their money to spend. He held out a little token of thirty thousand yuan. Just incase someone needed him to brag a little. He wore his dark shades.
They walked into the building blasting music from the left to the right and center. He noticed a table of gamblers just by the right side. He decided to try his luck not knowing Zhao already stepped into the building and took note of his arrival the moment he walked in with his bimbo.
