Chapter 410: 410: Your Boss Likes You
Qiao Haidong looked at the thin, long silver needle in her hand, his heart filled with fear and his face full of unease.
After a while, he eventually backed down: “Alright, put away your needle quickly. Is there anything we can’t talk about as father and daughter?”
“If you dare to make a scene here, I’ll make you mute.”
“I won’t cause trouble, how could I? I was just speaking out of anger a moment ago, don’t take it to heart. I also don’t want you to lose your job. After all, when you have a job, you have money, and that’s how you can help me pay my debts, right?”
“I won’t help you pay back your debts anymore.”
“You—”
Just as Qiao Haidong was about to say something, his face changing color, there was suddenly a knock on the door and a man’s voice: “Qiao Yin, may I come in?”
Qiao Yin quickly wiped her eyes and warned Qiao Haidong in a soft voice: “Don’t say anything untoward.”
Having said that, she hurried to open the door: “Young Master Mu, please come in. This is the Eastern Empire’s reception room, of course, you can enter.”
Dongfang Mu looked at her red eyes, his smile fading slightly.
Then, his gaze shifted to Qiao Haidong.
Qiao Haidong immediately smiled in a sycophantic way: “Young Master Mu, you’re Yinyin’s boss, right? I’m Qiao Yin’s father, my name is Qiao Haidong. It’s nice to meet you, Young Master Mu. I’ve heard from Yinyin how excellent you are, and seeing you today, you really are more impressive than she described!”
Dongfang Mu was surprised: “Qiao Yin has praised me to you?”
“Of course! Yinyin speaks so highly of Young Master Mu!”
Qiao Haidong sounded genuinely sincere, just stopping short of swearing oaths.
Dongfang Mu chuckled: “Gaining her praise is indeed not easy. In reality, she’s the truly excellent one. Mr. Qiao is very fortunate to have such a daughter. You should cherish her.”
“Of course, I’ve cherished this sweetheart daughter of mine since she was a kid. I even spoiled her somewhat. I have to thank Young Master Mu for tolerating her. She’s also very fortunate to have you as her boss.”
Dongfang Mu gave another small smile, then asked Qiao Yin in a low voice, “Is everything alright?”
“Nothing’s wrong, Young Master Mu. Rest assured, I can handle it.”
“Alright then, I’ll head upstairs first. If there’s any problem, come to find me, okay?”
“Alright, thank you, Young Master Mu.”
Dongfang Mu nodded and then left the reception room.
Watching him leave, Qiao Haidong mused, “Qiao Yin, your boss is so nice to you. Does he have a crush on you?”
Qiao Yin looked at him coldly: “He has no interest in me. He behaves this way with everyone, he’s naturally polite.”
“But I’ve heard that Young Master Mu is smitten with beauties!”
“I am not a beauty.”
“I disagree; if you’re not beautiful, then all women are ugly.”
Qiao Haidong’s mind started to turn: “Believe a man’s instinct. I can assure you, your boss likes you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spoken so gently or said to find him if there’s a problem.”
Qiao Yin found him quite annoying: “Can’t you stop thinking inappropriately? Your instincts are always wrong. Didn’t you buy up medicines based on your instinct too? And how did that turn out? Did you make money?”
“Originally, I could have made money indeed. But wasn’t it Lu Lingche that sabotaged me, so I couldn’t sell it? How about this, let your boss take the medicines I have. You should mention this to him later, how about that?”
Qiao Yin was so furious her fingers began to tremble, “Why the hell should my boss take your medicines? Those medicines of yours have gone moldy and are completely unusable. You want Dongfang Mu to take them? Do you have no conscience at all?”
Qiao Haidong snorted coldly: “You’re right, you’re the one with all the conscience. Then you should take the medicines for me. Give me twenty million!”
“I don’t owe you!”
Unable to control her voice, Qiao Yin raised it, “And I don’t have twenty million.. Your medicines are now worthless, you should destroy them immediately, stop trying to sell them and harm others!”
