Lin Yi smiled and shook Pengzhan's hand naturally. Lin Yi was very comfortable with this kind of normal social etiquette."Hello, Mr. Chu!"
Pengzhan's enthusiasm made Lin Yi feel a little overwhelmed. It was the first time he met such a passionate employer. Although he was invited by Pengzhan to carry out a certain task, the chairman of a listed company in the world's top 500 was treating him like this. This made Lin Yi curious. Why did it feel like they were on the same level?
"Mister Lin! "I know that it's a bit difficult for you to do this…" Pengzhan said after some hesitation.
Pengzhan's words were getting more and more ridiculous, and even someone as thick-skinned as Lin Yi felt a little embarrassed." I'm not condescending…I only earn a few hundred yuan a month by weaving straw sandals at home. The old man said that this mission is enough for me to eat for the rest of my life…"
Lin Yi thought to himself-this employer was so kind, inviting him to work and being so polite, unlike some people who started gossiping after paying him.
"What is it? Weave straw sandals?" Pengzhan paused and looked at Lin Yi carefully. He didn't get the wrong person. But what was this guy talking about? Could it be that Elder Lin made him weave straw sandals every day to earn a few hundred yuan? Pengzhan was speechless. He had heard some things about Lin Yi from his grandpa. The reward for rescuing the hostages in Africa should be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. He actually knew how to make straw sandals to earn money?
"Yeah, a pair of straw sandals can be sold for four yuan. If I weave three to five pairs a day, it will be several hundred yuan a month.”Lin Yi nodded. He also felt that something was wrong. The old man didn't seem like a poor person.
Pengzhan couldn't care less about Lin Yi's private matters, so he shook his head helplessly."In the future, your salary will be 30,000 yuan per month. This money includes your school fees and daily expenses. Of course, you can ask Li Fu to reimburse you for the money spent on my daughter.”
"Thirty thousand? Didn't the old man say a few thousand yuan?" Lin Yi paused. Such a high salary? If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have brought money with him. He didn't have to look at the old man's pained face. Lin Yi remembered the scene when he asked the old man for the forty-nine thousand yuan."Wait, Mr. Chu, what did you just say? Go to school? Tuition and miscellaneous fees? And the money spent on your daughter? What was the meaning of this? I don't understand…"
Lin Yi didn't understand what Pengzhan meant. Wasn't he here on a mission?
"Oh? Didn't Old Master Lin tell you before? Please come this way. Let's talk about the details upstairs.”Pengzhan smiled and made an inviting gesture as he walked side by side with Lin Yi.
Pengzhan was his employer now, after all, and his salary wasn't low at all. He didn't know what Pengzhan was talking about, but he'd come across a lot of strange missions over the years.
So, when Lin Yi and Chu Pengzhan walked together, they slowed down their pace, making it look like they were following behind him. However, Chu Pengzhan deliberately kept his pace in sync with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi saw it and was surprised. Why did he feel like Pengzhan was being too friendly to him? Lin Yi was curious, but he didn't ask. After all, this was the first time he met Pengzhan, and they weren't very familiar with each other. There were some things that weren't meant to be said, but they would understand after some time.
Chu Pengzhan's office was located on the top floor of Pengzhan Tower. It was 200 square meters in size, and one of the walls was a large French window, making the room exceptionally bright.
Uncle Fu left after letting Pengzhan and Lin Yi into the office, ordering Xiao Yu to pour tea for them.
"Mr. Lin, what would you like to drink?”Xiao Yu already knew Lin Yi's surname from Uncle Fu.
"Just plain water." Water was the only thing Lin Yi drank at home.
Little Yu was stunned, but he still smiled and said,"Okay, please wait a moment." As for what Chairman Chu drank, she didn't need to ask because it was the same every day.
"Mr. Lin, from tomorrow onwards, Uncle Fu will arrange for you to enter Songshan's First High School's Grade 12 Class 5. You will become a high school student and be in the same class as my daughter, Chu Mengyao. You will go to school with her every day, take care of her life, and guide her in her homework when you go home…To put it bluntly, you will be her companion…I've been busy with business all these years and have neglected my daughter. I feel guilty, so I want to find someone she can talk to. Give her more care…This is the real reason why I asked you to come here…You're about the same age as her and are both young people. You should have something in common, right?”Pengzhan smiled.
Lin Yi paused. What did he mean by someone he could talk to? He even cared for her? Common topic? No way! Was this the so-called mission that could last a lifetime? Why did it sound more and more like she was looking for a partner? Could it be that this chick had some hidden physiological illness and could not get married, so she was looking for him to make up the numbers?
"Mr. Lin, what's wrong?" Pengzhan saw Lin Yi's shocked expression and seemed to know what he was thinking."I originally thought that Old Master Lin had already told you what you were going to do this time, but now it seems that that's not the case?”
"Mr. Chu, please call me Lin Yi. Mr. Lin is a little awkward.”"Honestly, I really didn't know what I was here for. The old man just said it was an important mission, and that if I did it well, I could eat it for the rest of my life…" Lin Yi smiled bitterly.
"Eat for a lifetime?" Pengzhan paused at Lin Yi's words before laughing out loud."Hahahaha, that's right. Old Master Lin didn't lie to you. If you do a good job, the reward you receive will indeed be enough for you to eat for the rest of your life!”
" This…" Lin Yi still didn't understand what Pengzhan wanted him to do."But what exactly is my mission?”
"Didn't I already say that before? You will accompany my daughter to school and study together. Of course, you will also be responsible for her safety and not let anyone bully her.”Pengzhan explained.
"Companion? A nanny?" That was the only word Lin Yi could think of.
"Uh…you can understand it that way. In fact, it's the same.”Pengzhan nodded and handed a document to Lin Yi without waiting for him to say anything."This is Songshan's First High School's information, you can familiarize yourself with it.”
Lin Yi nodded helplessly as he took the information. This was the level mission the old man was talking about? After scolding the person next door, he couldn't have been fooled again, right?
Just like the last time he went to South America, the old man told him that he was going to save someone…but in the end, how was he going to save someone? To save a group of people…
However, no matter what, there was a high reward, and the danger of this mission was relatively low. It was just a little like the lackey of a rich lady. But it didn't matter. It was just a break.
Songshan's First High School was called the First High School, but it was already a private school. It was just that the name wasn't changed when it was acquired. Pengzhan Industries was one of the three major shareholders of the school.
No wonder she could be easily arranged to attend this high school without even going to primary school. Lin Yi hadn't been to school before, but he knew from the internet how difficult it was for rural children to go to school in the city.
"Alright, I'll do my job well.”Lin Yi nodded after reading the information.
"Of course, Chu Mengyao may have a bad temper, but she's a good kid.”Pengzhan smiled bitterly,"I believe that you're so outstanding that you'll definitely get along well with her.”
Harmony? Lin Yi didn't expect to get along well with the Miss. It wasn't like they were dating. "I'll try my best," Lin Yi said.”
Pengzhan seemed to have noticed Lin Yi's perfunctory attitude and smiled. He shouted at the door,"Barkley, Yaoyao is about to be dismissed from school. Go pick her up and bring Mr. Lin to familiarize himself with the environment.”
"Mr. Chu, you can call me Lin Yi or Lil 'Yi. Don't call me Mr. Lin, it's a little awkward.”Lin Yi said.
"Alright, I'll call you Yi then. No matter what, I'm your elder, and you won't be at a disadvantage. Don't call me Mr. Chu, just call me Uncle Chu.”Pengzhan nodded and didn't dwell on the topic.
Lin Yi nodded and followed Li Fu down the stairs. They took the elevator to the basement floor's parking lot.
