After work in the evening, I called Ran Ran.
"I think we’re out of luck," I said. "Ma Tao is deliberately creating rumors to avoid me."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ran Ran exclaimed. "This is clearly our opportunity!"
"Huh?"
"Think about it. Doesn’t he still have feelings for his ex? Otherwise, why would he go to such lengths to create rumors that affect you?"
"That does make some sense..."
"Oh come on!" Ran Ran urged, "Can’t you give me a little confidence? One million!"
"But..." I frowned. "But I don’t want him anymore."
"What?" Ran Ran gasped in shock. "How can you change your mind so easily?"
I fell silent.
The truth was, I hadn’t changed my mind.
I just felt that making money was more important.
"If he really doesn’t like me, then there’s no need for me to cling on."
"I don’t know if he likes you or not, but I do know that our chance has come."
Ran Ran lowered her voice. "Let me tell you..."
After she finished speaking, I remained silent.
I thought for a long time.
I realized that I was still more suited to making money.
“Ran Ran, we're not going.”
“Huh?” Ran Ran was taken aback, then sighed in relief. “I didn’t want to do something so unethical either.
But what about the money we've already spent?”
“Maybe I should talk to Madam Ma?”
“Alright then,” Ran Ran said helplessly.
I called Madam Ma to arrange a meeting.
She arrived with her bodyguard, which startled me. “Madam Ma, I’m not trying to run away.”
She elegantly took a seat. “Well, what’s on your mind?”
“I might not be able to continue working,” I said, staring down at my empty bowl.
“I’m just not cut out for this job.”
She chuckled lightly. “I think you’re doing quite well.”
I looked up in confusion. “What?”
“You’ve done a great job in the Public Relations Department,” she said, putting down her chopsticks. “You’ve completed the work worth ten million.”
I was stunned.
Didn’t we agree that the final payment would come after I got the certificate with Ma Tao?
Why was it suddenly given now?
Madam Ma glanced at me before getting up and leaving.
It wasn't until she exited the restaurant that I snapped back to reality.
I picked up my phone and checked my balance over and over again.
The five million had really been deposited!
This is amazing!
I don't have to pay it back!
I grabbed my chopsticks and dug into the meat with gusto.
I've made up my mind; I want to be a wealthy woman from now on.
Why would Ma Tao deliberately create rumors to affect me?
I couldn't understand.
But that didn't matter anymore.
The rumors about him and the popular young starlet were becoming increasingly outrageous.
Some even claimed they were already engaged.
As a result, Ma Group's stock price had risen significantly.
It seemed that Ma Tao had orchestrated this scandal for the sake of the company's stock value.
Although he no longer had feelings for me, I still felt grateful to him.
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have made so much money.
I decided to find Ma Tao.
"I want to resign," I told him.
And I thanked him for the ten million.
He scoffed, "Ten million? Is that all you aspire to?"
"What do you want then?"
He leaned back in his chair, hands clasped over his stomach, and looked at me with a piercing gaze. "What if I were to support you, giving you twenty million a month? Would you be willing?"
"Get lost!" I snapped, anger rising within me.
"Not willing? Fine," he shrugged nonchalantly. "Just don't come looking for me again."
"What would I want from you? Go find your current girlfriend!" I rolled my eyes. "I don’t even know what kind of person you ended up with! Someone who’s all about publicity and nothing substantial."
Ma Tao's expression darkened. "Yu Lixuan!"
"What?" I shot back, equally furious.
I had intended to approach this calmly and leave quietly, but he had ignited my anger instead.
