C45 The Mall Is also My Boss's

The security guard sprinted over and, upon seeing Ruan Xinghao, quickly bowed and inquired, "Young Master, how may I assist you?"

Ruan Xinghao pointed at Zhao Su and ordered, "I want you to beat him. If anything happens, I'll be responsible!"

"Absolutely! Your word is our command!" the lead security guard, with a serious demeanor, affirmed.

He was obedient to the core.

Ruan Xinghao nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, Liang Yiyi stepped forward to shield Zhao Su, exclaiming, "Everyone, hold it right there! Do you have any idea who this man is?"

Her interjection instantly calmed the security guard, causing Ruan Xinghao to turn his attention her way.

He had been so preoccupied with Zhao Su that he hadn't noticed the person next to him.

But now, seeing Liang Yiyi, Ruan Xinghao's eyes went wide.

He was captivated by her beauty and was intent on pursuing her.

Zhao Su, addressing Liang Yiyi, offered, "Beautiful, what's the trouble? You can always turn to me for help. I'm the son of the mall's general manager, so I can handle any issue you might have."

Liang Yiyi shot him a look of disgust and clarified, "Zhao Su is my boss!"

"What? He's your boss?" Ruan Xinghao exclaimed, surprised as he glanced at Zhao Su.

Zhao Su was dressed in plain student clothes, a stark contrast to Ruan Xinghao, who was adorned with a luxury watch.

Ruan Xinghao had initially thought Liang Yiyi was a passerby and was prepared to show off in front of her.

Without hesitation, Ruan Xinghao said, "Miss, you seem to be misled. He's just an ordinary student from our school. How could he be your boss? It's likely he's just smitten with your looks and has deceived you."

Liang Yiyi dismissed his comment, considering him unworthy of a response.

Zhao Su just shook his head, at a loss for words due to Ruan Xinghao's brazenness.

At that moment, Ruan Xinghao mistakenly believed that Liang Yiyi had been persuaded by his words. He leaned in closer, a smug expression on his face, and boasted, "I'm the son of this mall's general manager. Stop following Zhao Su. Come work as my assistant instead. I'll pay you 3,000 yuan a month—no, make that 4,000 yuan. Plus, I'll provide room and board."

The security guards standing nearby couldn't help but show their envy upon hearing his offer. After all, these guards only made 2,500 yuan a month, and that didn't even include housing. By contrast, the terms Ruan Xinghao had laid out for Liang Yiyi were incredibly generous.

Ruan Xinghao lifted his chin with pride, convinced that Liang Yiyi would surely accept his proposal. But after he finished speaking, Liang Yiyi responded curtly, "Step aside. We have other matters to attend to."

"You're really turning me down? My offer is quite substantial! What could Zhao Su possibly offer you?" Ruan Xinghao persisted.

"My boss pays me 500,000 yuan a month, plus a villa worth 20 million and a top-of-the-line BMW hybrid sports car. Can you match that?" Liang Yiyi, fed up, retorted.

What? Ruan Xinghao's mouth hung open in disbelief. The nurses and security guards were equally agape. To them, a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan was already impressive! How much was 500,000 yuan really? They might not earn that much in their entire lifetimes!

"Impossible. Zhao Su is just an ordinary student. How could he possibly afford that?" Ruan Xinghao exclaimed, shocked.

"What's so impossible about it? Soon, this mall will belong to my boss as well," Liang Yiyi stated matter-of-factly, her words striking Ruan Xinghao like a bolt from the blue.
