I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law

Chapter 436: Near 100 Million

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When one scolded someone for being an idiot, his tone could be angry, teasing, or doting and ambiguous…

Pei Jiao felt that it was indescribably abrupt for her to be scolded like this. However, when she saw his extremely serious and mean face, she immediately felt that nothing was out of place. He was really mean!

Wei Yu released her waist and led the way expressionlessly. “Follow.”

Pei Jiao made a face at the back of the dangerous figure. “Blah, blah, blah!”

Before she could retract her expression, Wei Yu suddenly turned around, scaring Pei Jiao so much that her facial features almost twisted together.

Wei Yu saw her strange expression and reminded her in a low voice, “Watch your step!”

Pei Jiao pouted. “Oh.”

Ever since she was brought into this secret base, Pei Jiao had never walked more than ten meters away from this building. After that, she would be stopped every time she arrived downstairs. When she was bored, she could only stand on the balcony and look out.

Pei Jiao was undoubtedly excited to finally come out with Wei Yu today. She followed behind Wei Yu at a moderate pace, like a bumpkin who had never seen the world. Her gaze darted everywhere, trying to secretly remember some routes behind this building.

This was important to her.

It could be attached to the escape plan B!

When he saw her looking around sneakily, he pursed his lips. “You don’t have to peek around like a thief. You can look around openly. No one will say anything about you. If you sneak around, you’ll attract attention.”

Pei Jiao glared at him angrily. Who was being sneaky?

Wei Yu ignored the way she stared. “It’s useless even if you remember this place,” he reminded her in a steady tone. “Unless you grow wings and can fly, or burrow like a rat, you won’t be able to leave until what’s missing is recovered.”

Wen Qiong had already told Pei Jiao this. At that time, other than being mute, her mood did not fluctuate.

Now that she heard Wei Yu say it again, Pei Jiao’s heart burned. She took a few steps forward and blocked Wei Yu. In her hurry, she forgot to lip-read and waved her hand blindly.

Wei Yu looked down at her. “Use your lips.”

Pei Jiao stopped gesturing and bit her lip angrily. She told herself not to lose her temper when she was at a disadvantage. Otherwise, she would be the one to suffer.

Quickly calming down, her expression quickly became much more obedient again. She mouthed, I didn’t steal the thing. Why can’t I leave?

She spoke extremely slowly in the shape of her lips. Wei Yu could be understood.

He told her, “What’s missing is very important. If you ask me how important it is, I can only say that it’s more important than your life. The reason why we’re being careful now is to find it as soon as possible. All entrances and exits are sealed and can’t be opened for anyone. That’s why.”

Pei Jiao was surprised.

What could be more important than her life?

In this world… Never mind. All she could say was that in certain corners of the world she couldn’t see, human lives were really as worthless as grass. She could still remember one time when she was overseas and Beike took her to a mysterious place…

The people who went to that place were all wearing masks. Their identities were mysterious, and most of them were either rich or noble. Under the flickering light, they sat below the stage with the bidding sign in their hands, standing at the top of the food chain looking down at the world like they’re ants. They chased after the living person on the bidding platform in a playful manner…

Pei Jiao trembled as memories surfaced in her mind.

Wei Yu: “Are you cold?”

Pei Jiao’s expression darkened a little and she shook her head. Suddenly not in the mood to argue with him, she followed him obediently and they went to the cafeteria.

Wei Yu naturally did not miss the brief few seconds of fear on the little girl’s expression. He did not know what she was afraid of. Although he was a little curious, he would not ask. They reached the cafeteria.

Pei Jiao looked around at the scene in front of her in shock. A place similar to the office building was actually a canteen? She had seen the world, but the scene in front of her was still a little rare!

Wei Yu saw her looking around with her mouth open. “Shut your mouth,” he reminded her.

Pei Jiao glanced at him. Did this bastard find her embarrassing?

Facial recognition was needed to enter to ensure that it was someone from the base. Pei Jiao had not recorded any identification method, so Wei Yu needed to do something about it.

After successfully entering, Pei Jiao saw the canteen guide at a glance. After entering, Pei Jiao looked at the empty canteen and thought that she was late. She turned around and asked silently, “Is there anything to eat since we’re so late?”

Wei Yu found a seat and sat down. “We’re early.”

Huh? It was almost seven-thirty, and she was still early? Did everyone here wake up very late? Didn’t they have to rush to work at eight o’clock in the morning? Uh… Thinking back to when she went to wake Wei Yu this morning, Wei Yu seemed to be still asleep.

Pei Jiao sat down opposite Wei Yu and asked silently, “What time do you go to work?”

Wei Yu: “Eleven o’clock.”

Pei Jiao’s eyes widened.

Fuck me? Eleven o’clock! What kind of fairy company was this! He actually started work more than two hours later than her brother’s company!

Thinking back, when she learned that she had to clock in to work at 8:30 sharp whether she went to the Pei Corporation or R.E., she became even more determined to save enough money to retire early.

Wei Yu’s company was not bad. She just did not know how good the treatment was.

Wei Yu saw all kinds of strange and vivid expressions on her face and asked, “What are you up to?”

Pei Jiao grinned and pointed at her mouth, indicating for him to take a closer look.

Wei Yu: “Shoot.”

She asked: How’s your salary and treatment?

Wei Yu: “More than nine digits.”

Pei Jiao’s jaw almost fell to the ground. Huh? Her mind went blank, and she forgot what a nine-digit number was. She immediately counted with her fingers: 1,000,000,000… Then, with a look of disbelief, she raised a finger. A hundred million?

Wei Yu: “Yes, this is the annual salary of a specially hired person.”

Pei Jiao instantly heaved a sigh of relief. That’s more like it. So you’re a specially hired person. I know this. You’re like an expert consultant. In short, you have to have a powerful background to become a specially hired person. Your annual salary of 100 million doesn’t seem to be much.

Wei Yu: “Yeah.”

Pei Jiao continued to be curious. “Then how much is your annual salary?”

Wei Yu: “More than nine digits.”

Pei Jiao pursed her lips. Are you a specially hired person?

Wei Yu replied faintly, “Yes.”

Pei Jiao was speechless.

Fuck! You’ve got bragging going on for you!

Putting aside the value of the Pei family’s daughter that she could not cash out, how many years would she have to work for this nine-figure annual salary?

As if reading her mind, Wei Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, “You want to come to work?”

Pei Jiao clapped her hands and blinked with a smile. “Do you have any requirements for entry?”

Wei Yu: “We’re not hiring here.”

The smile on Pei Jiao’s lips gradually disappeared. She was not close to the hundred million at all. Wei Yu took his cell phone and scanned the QR code on the table. He opened the menu and pushed the phone in front of Pei Jiao. “Order whatever you want.”

When Pei Jiao saw that the cell phone had been pushed over by Wei Yu, she immediately looked up at him in disbelief.

Wei Yu asked calmly, “There’s nothing you want to eat here?” Pei Jiao nodded. “Yes.” Then she said, “Can I use my cell phone?” The opportunity in front of her was very rare for Pei Jiao..
