this made chen dong feel a little uneasy. it almost felt like the money was burning him. “president yin, aren’t you going to sign a contract with me or make me swear an oath? what if 1 take the money and don’t do anything?”

yin xun said calmly, “it’s okay. if you don’t keep your word, i have plenty of ways to ruin your reputation and make you unable to stay in this industry.”

chen dong,”…”

how could yin xun say such terrifying words in a calm tone?

he suddenly thought of mi jin. back then, mi jin had been framed by si fan with despicable methods. he was worried that if he did not do well, he would be treated like this by yin xun.

as expected, bosses had impure hearts, even if they were female bosses. chen dong complained in his heart.

the money in his hand felt even hotter, but he had already promised yin xun. if he put the money down now, it might be even worse. chen dong had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

chen dong took action very quickly. according to his agreement with yin xun, he first went home after leaving xintao and deposited the money yin xun had given him. then, he went straight to blue fox.

when si fan saw him, a trace of discomfort flashed across his eyes, but he pretended not to know anything and asked him, “didn’t 1 ask you to be a spy? if you come back now, yin xun will misunderstand our relationship!”

“president si, why did assistant cheng go to xintao too? he even betrayed me. after yin xun found out my identity, she chased me out!” chen dong planned to use sincerity to dispel si fan’s doubts and directly told him the reason why he came back.

“what? assistant cheng went to xintao? 1 should have known, i always knew he had thoughts of jumping ship. i didn’t expect him to act so quickly!” si fan said in surprise. it looked like he really did not know about this. “it’s my fault for trusting him too much. we didn’t shut him out when we were discussing matters, so he knew everything. in that case, you can’t be blamed. if you fail, so be it.”

si fan’s expression looked too sincere. chen dong sneered in his heart. si fan was actually pretending. if yin xun had not told him the details and proved that si fan had instructed cheng she to betray him, he would have been deceived by si fan again.

“since the mistake this time is not my fault, can you give me the rest of the money?” although he knew in his heart that si fan would definitely refuse, chen dong still tried to ask for it.

at the very least, he had to let si fan know that he still cared about the money.

as he expected, si fan refused immediately. “it’s already good enough that i’m not faulting you for not failing the mission. you still have the cheek to ask for money?! logically speaking, you should return the deposit 1 gave you previously. however, on account of cheng she betraying you, we’ll leave it at this.”

hearing si fan’s words, chen dong secretly cursed si fan in his heart. it seemed that agreeing to yin xun’s conditions was indeed the right decision. he had long disliked si fan. in any case, he did not have to worry about his salary now. he could use this opportunity to stab si fan in the back.

“president si, i did everything according to your request from the start. i didn’t expect to be sold out by assistant cheng. not only did yin xun chase me out, but she even threatened to make me unable to find work in this field. 1 have nowhere else to go. do you think 1 can return to blue fox?” chen dong asked ingratiatingly.

si fan looked at him coldly. just as he was about to refuse, he heard chen dong beg, “president si, you know what i’m capable of. as long as you can let me come back, i’m willing to lower my salary requirements. now that xintao has gotten bigger, yin xun is using her status to suppress me. other companies are afraid of the yin family’s background and won’t dare to take me. only you can stand up to her. 1 can only rely on you!”

this flattery was perfect. si fan liked to hear others praise him for being better than yin xun. moreover, the fact that chen dong was willing to lower his salary really moved him.

chen dong was watching si fan’s reaction closely. now that he seemed to be showing signs of loosening up, he continued, “president si, although blue fox was founded by you, it has now fallen into the hands of others. i’m sure you’re unsatisfied with this. assistant cheng has left and there’s no one i can trust. i have nowhere to go and can only rely on you, so you don’t have to worry that 1’11 betray you like assistant cheng. i’m sure you need a helper by your side now. i think 1 can help you fill the place of assistant cheng.”

under chen dong’s constant begging and persuasion, si fan was finally convinced. he agreed to the condition of lowering the salary to let chen dong return to blue fox. the new president, le an, originally had some concerns, but since it was a request from si fan, it was not good to reject him, so chen dong was allowed to stay.

on this side, chen dong had successfully stayed in blue fox and found an opportunity to report to yin xun. on the other side, si fan had also secretly contacted cheng she to inquire about the situation..
