A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 329 Attack
"Daddy, didn't you say you would get Fan to be a bodyguard? Why are you making him a security guard now?"
Before Ye Fan could say anything, Lu Wen-Jing started protesting first.
$4,000 a month was too little!
She was the one who told Ye Fan that he could get $30,000 a month.
But Lu Ming-Ze just glared at her. "You terrible girl, stop throwing a tantrum now. Making him a security guard is already going against my principles on handling such matters. As for other positions, even if I give him that position, do you think he is up to it?"
After hearing how stern her father sounded now, Lu Wen-Jing didn't dare to be rebellious anymore. She lowered her head and didn't say anymore.
But she thought to herself that Ye Fan could start off by being a security guard, then when her father was in a better mood, she could help him to move to a better
position.
"Alright now, you don't have to thank me. I'm just getting you a job because my daughter asked me to. Pack your things and you can start work in Jingzhou tomorrow." "If you're too late, then you won't get this position!"
Lu Ming-Ze waved Ye Fan on to tell him to pack his bags and get ready to move to Jingzhou.
But just when Lu Ming-Ze thought that Ye Fan would politely say a few nice words to him to thank him, but Ye Fan just laughed coldly.
"Hmm? What are you laughing about?" Lu Ming-Ze immediately frowned and was extremely unhappy with the Ye Fan's laughter.
That was because he could hear disdain in Ye Fan's laughter.
What right did a live-in son-in-law have to laugh like this?
"It's nothing," Ye Fan replied. "I just wanted to thank you for the thought, but I think you'd better replace someone else to be your security guard."
"I won't go to Jingzhou, and Uncle Ze won't have to bend his principles for me either. Alright now, I have to go home and cook, so I won't see both of you off."
Ye Fan then turned and left without even looking twice at Lu Ming-Ze.
He didn't thank Lu Ming-Ze, and was even curt towards him.
"Fan! Don't go! Why did you refuse? Is the salary too low? It's all negotiable, I can get Daddy to increase yours," said Lu Wen-Jing as she held onto Ye Fan with bloodshot eyes and refused to let Ye Fan leave.
Ye Fan laughed and tousled Lu Wen-Jing's hair. "Jingjing, be good and go home with your father. If I have time, I'll visit you in Jingzhou."
Ye Fan then walked off and his skinny frame disappeared into the distance quickly. Lu Wen-Jing kept calling after him but that determined figure never looked back.
"Haaa...he's just a live-in son-in-law with no achievements to his name but he's got quite an ego. He thinks $4,000 a month is too little? What does he want to be? God? He'd better look at himself in the mirror first! This guy is poor for a good reason! Certain types of mud are just bad for building walls! No wonder your maternal grandfather threw them out of the Qiu family."
Lu Ming-Ze had kindly offered him a job but got snubbed in return, so his mood was extremely poor now. The more he looked at Ye Fan, the angrier he got.
He shouldn't have offered such an ungrateful bum a job.
Lu Ming-Ze's expression was dark and got more and more furious just thinking about "Enough, stop looking. What's so nice about looking at that useless bum? Come home with me right now!" Lu Ming-Ze pulled Lu Wen-Jing along to return to the car.
But this young lady found the strength to break away from Lu Ming-Ze's hand and cried as she yelled at her father angrily.
"You're a bad Daddy! You're a liar! You said you would make Fan a bodyguard, so why did you make him a security guard? I hate you! Don't pick me up! Go away! I don't want to see you again!!" Lu Wen-Jing continued to cry and shout at Lu Ming-Ze as tears streamed down her pretty little face. She cried as she ran towards the same direction that Ye Fan left in.
She didn't want to leave with her father anymore. She was going home with her beloved Fan.
This market was a short distance from Liuyuan Residential District and Ye Fan had to take a bus to go home.
The bus that Ye Fan had to take had just arrived. He boarded the bus and paid his fare when a young lady caught up with him.
"Huh? Jingjing? What's wrong? Why are you crying? Why are you here? Hurry along and go home with your father!"
Ye Fan was startled and didn't expect this little girl to come running after him. He tried to chase her off the bus but she refused. She ran to the back of the bus and sat down, refusing to alight no matter what Ye Fan said.
The bus was prepared to leave already. Just when Ye Fan was still thinking about what to do, Lu Ming-Ze himself boarded the bus and sat down next to Ye Fan and his daughter when he spotted them.
Vrooom...
The engine started up just after Lu Ming-Ze boarded and left the bus stop.
So just like that, Lu Ming-Ze and his daughter ended up on a public bus with Ye Fan.
"Humph!" Lu Wen-Jing was clearly still angry with her father. She just scoffed angrily at him and turned her head to one side.
Lu Ming-Ze didn't know what to do with her at all.
"I really owed you and your mother something in my past life," sighed Lu Ming-Ze. He really had no idea what was so great about this Ye Fan to make his own daughter treat him like this and even ignore him over Ye Fan.
But he didn't have a choice. For the sake of this daughter, Lu Ming-Ze had to put his pride aside and continue offering a job to Ye Fan.
"Fine. Since you replace that the pay for a security guard is too low and you don't want to do it, you can be my bodyguard. Probation is three months and your monthly pay will start at $10,000. If you do well and pass probation, your salary will increase to $30,000 a month. But of course, you have to prove yourself first. Otherwise, no matter what Jingjing says, I won't keep you. Do you understand?" asked Lu Ming-Ze in a low voice as he spoke to Ye Fan.
Lu Wen-Jing's anger slowly dissipated when she heard these words and her unhappy little face slowly relaxed.
But to their surprise, Ye Fan continued to shake his head and rejected the offer. "It's really alright. I'm living well in Yunzhou and I don't intend to move to Jingzhou."
What?!
"You're not going for it? Are you sure? This is a $30,000 a month job. Given your capabilities, nobody else would offer you this sort of salary. You won't even replace something that could pay you $5,000 a month. And if not for Jingjing, I wouldn't have offered you such high salary either!"
Lu Ming-Ze's voice was grim and he looked rather surprised.
He really didn't expect Ye Fan to refuse such a high paying job.
Ye Fan was just a live-in son-in-law from the countryside. He would never replace anything that would offer him more than $5,000 in a small city like Yunzhou. Lu Ming-Ze was now offering $30,000 and Ye Fan had actually rejected the offer?
"There's a limit to my patience. I will ask you one last time. Are you taking it or not? After tonight, you won't get another chance regardless of who comes to beg me!" said Lu Ming-Ze in an icy voice with no expression on his face.
But Ye Fan immediately refused the offer without even thinking. "As I said, I don't intend to leave Yunzhou. So I'm not taking the job."
"Why you!" Lu Ming-Ze's face twitched and he was so angry. He couldn't believe how ridiculous Ye Fan was being.
BOOOM!
Just then, a loud blast instantly shook the entire bus violently.
