8 Chapter 8_1

She felt for the rag, preparing to crouch down and wipe Li Hanxian's shoes, but he lifted his foot and walked away, leaving behind a cold remark, "Stay late and work overtime tonight, half your wage will be deducted."

Rong Shengsheng was shocked and looked up.

Wage deduction?

Working overtime was one thing, but a wage deduction? And half of it at that?

She had slapped him last night and he hadn't cared at all, but this morning, just for accidentally getting his shoes dirty, he was fining her!!

Anger gripped her as she tightly held the mop, grinding her teeth.

Despicable capitalist!!

Always bullying poor little employees like her.

Li Hanxian passed by Rong Shengsheng indifferently but suddenly caught a whiff of a very familiar scent of perfume.

It seemed like the woman from last night.....

He abruptly stopped walking, turned around, and grabbed Rong Shengsheng's wrist.

This scared Rong Shengsheng badly; she stared with wide eyes, her complexion deathly pale.

What was Li Hanxian trying to do??

Could it be that he heard her cursing him in her mind just now?

Did he have mind-reading abilities?

"Mr. Li.....I'm sorry, it was my fault for dirtying your shoes. It's only right for you to dock my pay, I shouldn't have cursed you. Please be the bigger person and don't stoop to my level."

Li Hanxian's stern face suddenly turned grim, a murderous look flashing in his eyes.

"What perfume are you wearing?"

"Perfume....." Rong Shengsheng was taken aback, not expecting Li Hanxian to ask this.

"It's one I mixed myself. I call it 'Good Luck'."

She hoped to bring herself some good fortune, making everything go smoothly whenever she did anything.

So every time she left home, she would spritz a little on herself.

"You mixed it yourself?" This surprised Li Hanxian. He hadn't expected the perfume this woman mixed to be so special; no wonder Zheng Yan had signed her with such enthusiasm.

"Bring the perfume formula to my office later."

After dropping this sentence, Li Hanxian let go of her wrist and walked away directly.

Rong Shengsheng thought she had misheard, standing still, her heart racing.

Li Hanxian was interested in the perfume she had mixed?

Did that mean she could become a Perfumer now?

The 'Good Luck' perfume really did bring good fortune.

President's office.

Nervously, Rong Shengsheng knocked on the door and entered with the formula in hand.

"Mr. Li, here is the 'Good Luck' perfume formula, and I've also written down the production process."

Li Hanxian didn't look up, his gaze cold and indifferent, he pressed down slightly and then said, "Name your price, I want to buy this formula."

Rong Shengsheng was stunned again, the joy in her eyes dimming.

She had thought Li Hanxian wanted to make her a Perfumer for Feast Group. She didn't expect he just wanted to buy the formula.

It turned her elation into disappointment.

She pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and said, "I can give you this formula, and we'll call it even for my child breaking your family's ancestral bracelet."

Upon hearing this, Li Hanxian raised his eyebrow and let out a scoff, "You're saying this formula is worth five million??"

Such a greedy woman, daring to ask for such a high price from him.

"You think it's too expensive? I thought the bracelet was pricey too."

"Does your perfume formula compare to the Li family's ancestral bracelet?"

"Why not? It's also the fruit of my intellect, something that can't be measured in money."

Rong Shengsheng clenched her fingers in anger, Li Hanxian was bullying her too much!!

Li Hanxian rubbed his temples, irritated, and said, "Enough, get out."

```

"So, do you still want this secret formula...?"

"What do you think?"

Rong Shengsheng proactively placed the secret formula on the table, "If you find it too expensive, we can still talk about it."

She really wanted to pay off the debt, as the burden of a five million debt kept her from sleeping peacefully.

However, she accidentally knocked her foot against a chair and tumbled right into Li Hanxian's arms.

At that moment, her face turned ashen, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Why did she keep falling onto him every time she saw him??

Those who didn't know any better might think she was up to something.

Li Hanxian leaned back lazily in his chair, the corners of his lips forming a chillingly cold arc, his icy peach blossom eyes held a hint of mockery, and he raised Rong Shengsheng's chin with his hand, "Is this what you meant by 'talking' with me?? How do we 'talk'?"

"That..." Rong Shengsheng blushed with embarrassment, "I didn't do it on purpose, do you believe me?"

"No need to explain, the perfume produced by a woman like you is probably dirty, I won't be taking your perfume secret formula, now get out."

"I..."

The man pushed Rong Shengsheng away and casually brushed off the dust on his body.

Rong Shengsheng glanced at him, did not persist, picked up her perfume secret formula, and stormed out.

Disdain her?

She didn't want to sell the secret formula to him anyway!!

He doesn't deserve it!

All afternoon, Rong Shengsheng worked her head off, scrubbing the walls as if they were Li Hanxian's face, wanting badly to rub his skin raw.

By afternoon, all the janitorial staff had left.

Only Rong Shengsheng was left behind.

Taking advantage of the dinner break, she ran to the kindergarten and took both children to the company.

Because she didn't know how late she would have to work, she couldn't leave the children at the kindergarten indefinitely.

"Miaomiao, Qinqin, you both stay with mommy here in the company, and we'll go home together when mommy finishes work, okay??"

Miaomiao, showing her bright white teeth, said obediently, "Mommy, we can help you work, so we can go home faster."

"No need, mommy is already done with work."

"Then why can't we go home??"

"Because..." Rong Shengsheng thought of Li Hanxian and got angry, "The company boss insisted that mommy stay, and mommy had no choice."

Miaomiao pouted and puffed up her cheeks, "Mommy's boss is such a big bad guy, if I see him, I'll definitely teach him a lesson for mommy."

Rong Shengsheng quickly covered Miaomiao's little mouth, as this was the company, if Li Hanxian heard this, her salary for the month would surely be deducted completely.

She might even get fired.

"Miaomiao, you can't talk nonsense outside, you know??"

"Mm, I know, mommy."

"Sit here with your brother and play nice, don't run around."

Miaomiao and Qinqin looked up with their little heads and answered loudly, "Okay!!"

Rong Shengsheng, holding her cleaning tools, wiped the staircase handrails near where the children were sitting.

Miaomiao and Qinqin, being at an age full of energy and curiosity, couldn't sit still, looking around and touching everything.

Then they saw Li Hanxian coming down from upstairs.

Miaomiao said excitedly, "Brother, that's the man making mommy pay."

Qinqin nodded as well, "We should go apologize to him."

So, the two adorable little fellows immediately followed after him.

Alas, their little short legs could not keep up with Li Hanxian.

At the doorway, Zhou Kuan opened the car door.

Li Hanxian, with his long strides, was about to get into the car when suddenly two chubby little bundles came running up, their big round eyes staring at him.

"Handsome brother, we finally see you again."
