Chapter 122: Because She's My Person!
"Infatuated with beauty and forgetting friendship?!?" Gong Chen heard this and coldly laughed, looking at Cheng Xiao You with a tone of ridicule: "Are you saying that Cheng Xiao You is just a pretty face?!"
"Otherwise, why did you have to let her move in!" Shangguan Yao said discontentedly, pouting his mouth and looking at Cheng Xiaoyou with some resentment. Indeed, his intuition was correct, this girl's appearance was meant to stir up unrest on their side.
"Because... she's the new maid I just hired!" Gong Chen looked at Cheng Xiao You's tense eyes, his voice intentionally pausing before speaking.
Cheng Xiaoyou finally put her mind at ease, being a servant was just being a servant, it was better than letting them know that she used to be good at fighting. Because, as long as Shen Mingxin asked, she wouldn't be able to tell the truth.
But she really didn't want to look back on what had happened before.
"A servant?" Shangguan Yao looked at Cheng Xiaoyu with a puzzled expression, finding it somewhat unbelievable: "What do you want a servant for?!"
"What do you think?!" Gong Chen looked at Shang Guan Yao and asked persistently, saying in a somewhat annoyed tone.
"Xiao You, is what Gong Chen said true? Is that why you agreed to move here?" Shen Mingxin looked at their situation and suddenly asked Cheng Xiao You. She knew Xiao You was short of money and was thinking of ways to work part-time, but didn't expect her to end up at Gong Chen's place.
"Hmm." Cheng Xiaoyou looked at Shen Mingxin with some concern, afraid that she might look down on her, especially since they had to live here for this reason.
"I knew distributing flyers wouldn't work!" Shen Mingxin suddenly burst into a happy smile: "Someone like Gong Chen, you should milk him for more labor costs, anyway he has so much money that he doesn't know where to spend it!"
"Hey, wake up!" Cheng Xiao You pulled Shen Ming Xin's clothes, now the two of them were standing on their own turf, saying it this way really didn't seem quite right!
"Am I wrong, Young Master Gong? Since we've hired Little You, can't the salary be worthy of the Gong family name?" Shen Mingxin patted Little You's hand reassuringly and spoke to Gong Chen in a stern tone: "I heard that the salaries of the Gong family's servants are all sky-high!"
!”
Since he has already let Xiaoyou come over, then that little bit of money shouldn't be a big deal.
"Name a price!" Gong Chen said nonchalantly, he had originally wanted to increase the price, but it was Xiao You who disagreed. Now that someone else brought up the topic of salary, it would be easier for Xiao You to accept than if he himself had mentioned it.
"Ming Xin, he pays me a high enough salary!" Little You saw Shen Ming Xin's appearance of preparing to open her mouth and quickly said to stop her.
"That's what he means by market price, we need to measure the entire Gong family's assets and Gong Che's inheritance rights, then determine his salary!" Shen Mingxin had a look of unfamiliarity on her face as she started counting on her fingers.
"Hey, Shen Mingxin, what are you doing?! Do you think the people of the Cheng family are stupid and have a lot of money? You should know that even their housekeepers are PhD graduates! What's so special about Cheng Xiaoyou, is it her skills or her diploma?!"
Although he was very disgusted with this kind of girl, why did Shen Mingxin's words sound like they only made him feel unpleasant to hear, but not that disgusting?
"How can you tell that Gongzi is stupid and has a lot of money? It's true that he has a lot of money, but saying he's stupid is an insult to Young Master Gong!" Shen Mingxin calmly shifted the focus of the argument, then looked at Shangguan Yao with a "you dare to provoke me?" expression: "According to Young Master Gong's worth, if his hourly wage is less than 1,000 yuan, it would be an insult, wouldn't it?!"
"Thousand yuan per hour? Do you think Cheng Xiaoyou is some kind of perfect, 24-hour, personal maid?! " Shangguan Yao was completely stunned by the number Shen Mingxin had just mentioned, and he couldn't believe she actually dared to say it out loud.
"Be clear-headed!" Cheng Xiao You also felt that this number was really too much, and anxiously tugged at Shen Ming Xin's sleeve again. She knew Ming Xin did it for her own good, but she didn't want to feel like she was relying on Gong Chen and getting a free ride.
"How could you, don't you think I'm right?" Shen Mingxin no longer looked at these two people, but instead gazed at Gong Chen, only looking at his attitude.
"The number you mentioned is reasonable, just like this..." Gong Chen's mouth had already settled on the next two words when Cheng Xiao You suddenly became anxious and loudly said: "Just stick to what we previously agreed upon, I'm not worth this salary!"
"It's not about whether you're worth it or not, it's about whether I, Gong Chen, am worth it!" Gong Chen looked at Cheng Xiao You's face, which was red with anxiety, and knew she would never agree to such a thing. With a stern expression, he deliberately spoke in an icy tone.
。
"Yes, you think the people around Palace Master Gong would be embarrassed if they were paid a low price!" Shen Ming said with a fearful tone, looking at Cheng Xiao You's unpleasant expression. She rolled her eyes and continued, "Since you think this price is high, let's compromise, halve the hourly wage, 500 will do!"
Gong Chen looked at Cheng Xiao You and felt that this was probably the highest price she could accept. With a proud nod, "Alright then!"
After finishing, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Have you guys left Sheng Yu yet? If you haven't gone too far, come back and help move the luggage again. It's still the same dormitory as before, just bring over the remaining luggage!"
He hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
Then Shangguan Yao protested again in dissatisfaction: "Cheng, you can't be serious about letting Shen Mingxin move next to me! I don't want to live with a girl!"
"Who do you think wants to be next to you?!" Shen Mingxin saw him like that, pouting: "Don't you have any other rooms here?!"
"Yes, isn't there another room on the second floor?!" Shangguan Yao quickly spoke up, involving himself in the matter.
"I'm not used to living with others!" Gong Chen shook his head coldly, directly vetoing the suggestion. Otherwise, he wouldn't be living alone on the second floor either.
"Cheng Xiaoyou, how can you?!" Shang Guanyao said discontentedly. When they came to live here, even living on the second floor with Gong Chen wasn't allowed. Chen belonged to a person with mild autism, who had never liked any physical contact with others since childhood, and disliked anyone invading his private space, and his residence was his recognized private space.
How can he tolerate Cheng Xiaoyu living next door, is this the biggest omen of the 2012 apocalypse?
"Because she's mine!" Gong Chen said matter-of-factly, then raised an eyebrow at Shangguan Yao: "If you're envious, I can also hire you as a male servant, with a salary twice that of Cheng Xiaoyou. How about it?"
Cheng Xiaoyou looked at Gong Chen's profile and felt that her heart had stopped beating for a moment when he spoke earlier.
What was he just saying? What did he mean by "She is his person!"
