After eating, she left as usual without even going to the study room this time. She hurriedly tromped down the stairs, her shoes making a “thump, thump, thump” sound. Then, the arrogant opening and shutting of doors could be heard, followed by the starting sound of a car engine, then a car slowly moving away, and finally, there was silence.

It was only after he was completely gone that Lu Weixi finally let out a sigh of relief, exhausted and lying on the bed, not wanting to move at all.

Fortunately, perhaps her words earlier had an effect, as Qin Zhiyou didn’t seem to use as much force as he usually did. The most painful part of her body was probably her arm, which he had gripped tightly earlier. Of course, there were still concerns—like Xiaochen and Xiaoqian. After they had drunk themselves unconscious, she had called a business vehicle to send them home, and she was not sure whether they had arrived safely. Moreover, Qin Zhiyou had punched Manager Liu, but Manager Liu would definitely not settle the score with Qin Zhiyou, so the blame would fall on her instead.

The last time with Liu Yiyi’s case, she had to compensate nearly thirty thousand yuan, and surely there would be no follow-up with Manager Liu’s case now. Moreover, he was injured, and if factoring in his injury, she didn’t know how much more she had to compensate. Paying money was one thing, but she was afraid he might insist on getting her out of the company.

However, worrying about these things now was futile. She was mentally prepared to either pay money or leave. She’d face whatever came at her, and if worse came to worst, she would just start over in another company.

She slept in a daze until morning and descended the stairs listlessly. During breakfast, Aunt Hao stood by her, cleared away everyone else, cleared her throat and began to report: “The young master said, he originally shouldn’t have come back at all this month, so you should only receive fifty thousand yuan for living expenses. But considering your ‘devotion’ last night, he decided to treat it as a form of charity. However, as per initial agreement, it is ten thousand yuan for a night, no matter what the circumstances are. But he was in a good mood, so he generously gave you thirty thousand yuan.”

Aunt Hao couldn’t remember the convoluted explanation and had to keep referring to her notebook while talking. Only after she finished did Lu Weixi give a single nod of acknowledgment. Her car was still at STAR, so she took the subway to get to work, swaying all the way to the company.

As soon as she stepped through the company doors, Xiaochen, with red eyes, threw herself at her: “Miss Lu!”

Lu Weixi’s face grew hard at her appearance. Did Manager Liu actually come to settle accounts? But then she heard Xiaochen sobbing: “Miss Lu, I got drunk last night and left you all alone. Are you okay?”

Listening to her words, at least Manager Liu hadn’t had the chance to lodge a complaint yet. Lu Weixi let out a sigh of relief. “I’m fine, as you can see. About Manager Liu, he…”

“No news on that front.”

If he didn’t say anything, then she needed to take the initiative. She ran to the boss’s office and roughly explained that there had been some unpleasantness during negotiation, and that the deal had fallen through. Although the boss was displeased, he knew Manager Liu’s character and let the matter slide after scolding her a bit.

She spent another nervous week waiting, and when Manager Liu didn’t show up to stir trouble, Lu Weixi finally felt a burden lift from her heart..
