Beauty and the Beasts

Once again relating to how Curtis would leave whenever it was close to noon, Qin Feiyan suddenly understood that he had gone to see this lass.

She hadn’t expected that such an icy cold Curtis would want to curry up to someone else. At the thought of how she had caused him to hesitate (own presumption) a few days back, she felt a hostile sense of exhilaration.

It seemed that this girl’s status in Kurt was merely this much. If he really loved her, he’d reject her at the first instant the other day and not size up her body, hesitating.

Qin Feiyan’s red lips curled up into a beautiful smiling arch and she said, feeling pleased, “It happens that I was looking for you. Your resumé is too simple and you can’t be employed officially, so you can only be considered part-time employment. We settle part-time workers’ wages on Fridays. This is yours.”

Qin Feiyan took out Curtis’s salary from the drawer. It wasn’t her job to issue salaries. However, Curtis was special and his case was rarely handled by others. She also instinctively had the feeling that handing it over to someone else would mess things up. Therefore, she took over all of Curtis’s matters onto herself.

Bai Qingqing opened her mouth wide in pleasant surprise, quickly running over to receive the salary envelope with both hands.

Not only was the envelope thick, but it also felt heavy. Bai Qingqing raised her head, looking stunned. “Isn’t it too much?”

Qin Feiyan secretly mocked her for lacking in knowledge and experience, but she kept a perfectly polite but distant expression on her face. “The salary will naturally be different based on the jobs taken on. The wage that you guys saw on the Internet is for the lowest-tier jobs. There’s naturally no comparison to what Kurt does.”

Bai Qingqing nodded in understanding. Although Qin Feiyan didn’t express it, she sensitively felt that she had embarrassed Curtis. She smiled at Qin Feiyan then took Curtis’s hand and walked out of the office.

In the elevator, Bai Qingqing opened the envelope excitedly. She let out a “wow” and started counting.

“You’re very happy?” Curtis leaned against the elevator’s wall sluggishly, smiling as he looked at her money-loving expression.

“Of course! This is a lot of money! I haven’t seen so much money before!” Bai Qingqing parted some of her attention to look at Curtis for an instant, then turned her gaze back to the money.

Curtis hated money. There were too many strange scents on them. Seeing Bai Qingqing touching the money repeatedly when the elevator landed on the first floor, his cleanliness obsession kicked up and he took the envelope.

“Come, let’s go home.”

Bai Qingqing had counted to 2,000 and felt that she hadn’t even reached half the amount. She made a ‘tsk’ sound with her tongue again. “There’s so much. There must be at least eight to nine thousand there.”

“Is that so?” Only then did Curtis feel a hint of joy, rubbing her head and said, “I’ll bring you to go buy food. You must have been starving these few days.”

“No. I can’t finish the food that you’ve been bringing me, but it’s about time you have a feast. Come, let’s go get good food.”

Bai Qingqing took his hand and skipped a little as she walked to the streets. Curtis let her skip for a little and then carried her on his back after she got tired. He then started to run quickly along the road.

Without any comparison, Bai Qingqing didn’t feel that Curtis’s speed was heaven-defying. She just said, “Slow down a little. Don’t overtake the cars.”

“Mm.”

The two of them found a high-class seafood restaurant. Curtis’s preference for food was lighter. After giving it some thought, Bai Qingqing could only think of seafood as a food that would be up to his alley.

Judging from the interior design, it was clear that the prices at this restaurant would be expensive. However, after taking a look at the thick stack of money in the envelope, she suddenly felt confident and pulled Curtis into the restaurant.

Bai Qingqing’s confidence didn’t last for long. The instant she looked at the menu, her expression became stunned.

A random dish cost one to two hundred yuan, and the slightly better ones would be two to three hundred yuan or even higher. Given Curtis’s appetite, the money would probably not be enough.
