My sister-in-law from Qingdao

That afternoon, my sister-in-law went back to her parents' home, and I quickly returned to the company.

When I arrived at the company, I had only one thought in my mind: to work hard, close more deals, and make more money.

The next day, just as I was sitting at my desk, focused on contacting clients, I received a WeChat message from Lin Moli.

"Come to my office for a moment."

I put down what I was doing and quickly went to Lin Moli's office. Today, the woman was wearing a beige silk dress, her hair was piled on top of her head, and she was wearing a purple crystal necklace.

She wore delicate, light makeup, looking beautiful and elegant.

When I entered, a gentle smile spread across his face.

"Please sit down."

After I sat down, she took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to me, then sat down opposite me.

"Chen Dong, I didn't realize you were so brave."

I was slightly taken aback, then smiled and asked, "Where did I go to be brave?"

"Your sister-in-law told me that you injured four people with a kitchen knife while protecting her. I didn't realize you were such a man."

Your sister-in-law said you injured your arm. Where is it injured? Let me see.

As the woman spoke, she moved closer to me, examining my arm.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious, no need to bandage it, just apply some medicine."

For some reason, I became a little nervous when Lin Moli approached me.

The faint fragrance emanating from her both captivated and repelled me.

"I'm your boss. You're injured, isn't it my duty to check your wound? Unbutton your clothes and let me see your arm."

The woman looked at me with her eyes crinkling into crescents and spoke in a gentle yet commanding tone.

"Mr. Lin, isn't this inappropriate?"

"You little rascal, what's wrong with you? I'm over thirty years old, and you're only in your early twenties. I'm your boss, your older sister, and your sister-in-law's best friend. You're injured, so what's wrong with me taking a look?"

The injury is on your arm, not your thigh. Why are you so worried?

Oh dear, her face is all red.

As the woman spoke, she actually extended her slender fingers and unbuttoned one of my shirt buttons.

I had no choice but to unbutton my shirt and expose the injured area on my shoulder.

"Oh dear, the injury is so bad! Why didn't you go to the hospital to get it bandaged?"

Lin Moli frowned, and her tone softened.

"It's just a superficial injury, nothing serious. We country folk are tough. We even put iodine on it. In our village, we would just grab a handful of soil from the ground and smear it on, and it would be fine."

I said it jokingly.

"A man needs to take care of himself when he's out. Luckily, you didn't get an infection. How about I give you a few days off so you can get some rest?"

Lin Moli's slender fingers gently pressed on my arm, her words incredibly tender.

"I told you I'm not that delicate, it's fine, it won't prevent me from doing anything."

"Alright then, why don't you go to the finance department and get a thousand yuan as a reward for yourself, and buy some good food to make up for it?"

As Lin Moli spoke, she naturally helped me button up my shirt.

She was very close to me, and as she was buttoning my shirt, I could see glimpses of her skin under her collar, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Although this woman was over thirty, she was truly beautiful, with a mature charm that was different from her sister-in-law's.

She helped me button up my clothes, then moved her body slightly to create some distance between us.

"My great hero, tell me, what were you thinking yesterday when you were wielding that knife against someone?"

When she asked me that, I felt a little embarrassed. To be honest, I hadn't thought too much about it at the time.

"I acted impulsively and picked up the kitchen knife, mainly because I didn't want my sister-in-law to be bullied."

Lin Moli sighed softly, a hint of disappointment appearing on her face.

"Your sister-in-law is so lucky. She has a loving husband and a brother who dotes on and protects her so much. Compared to me, she's like the difference between heaven and earth."

Hearing her say that, I blurted out, "President Lin, in the future, if anyone dares to bully you, I'll chop them up with a kitchen knife."

Lin Moli's eyes immediately lit up.

"Chen Dong, are you saying this from the bottom of your heart?"

"Of course. If anyone bullies you in the future, I'll really chop them up with a knife."

Lin Moli's eyes softened even more, and she reached out and gently patted my arm twice.

"Little brother, those words are enough for me. I will treat you well from now on. You are definitely the best salesperson in the foreign trade department."

I don't know how the logic is connected, but I'm still quite grateful.

After all, I desperately need money right now; I need to help my cousin and sister-in-law pay back that six million as quickly as possible.

"From now on, in addition to being a salesperson, you will also be my driver."

I quickly shook my head with a wry smile and explained, "Mr. Lin, I don't have a driver's license."

"Oh, didn't you already graduate from university? How come you still don't have a driver's license? Why didn't you get a driver's license during your university holidays?"

Lin Moli stared at me with wide eyes, somewhat surprised, as if she didn't quite believe what I said.

"The city is different from the countryside. In the city, as soon as their children get into university, they sign up to learn to drive. But we rural boys have to work during the holidays to earn money and help our parents farm."

"What you said makes sense, that's definitely the case."

Okay, I'll register you now. Starting tomorrow, you can go to driving lessons at noon and come to work in the afternoon.

I'm not young anymore, and I really envy others driving home. I also dream that one day I can have a car parked in front of my hometown, or take my parents out for a drive.

But I feel that these things are too far away from me.

"Forget it, I'll sign up for driving lessons after I close the deal, get my commission, and receive my salary."

"In my heart, you are like a hero. And after you get your driver's license, you will be my part-time driver, so you don't have to pay for it. The company will cover all the expenses."

Lin Moli's words moved me deeply, and I thought to myself that I should work hard, earn more money for myself, and earn more foreign exchange for the company.

"That's settled then. Go back to work now, and come with me to an event tonight."

Lin Moli looked at me with her eyes crinkling and said.

"I...I can't drive."

Lin Moli laughed: "I know you can't drive. I'll drive, I'll be your driver, just so you can keep me company."

I'm going to meet a supplier. This guy knows I'm divorced, and his eyes keep darting around, staring at me.

So I feel very unsafe around him, which is why I brought you along; you'll be my bodyguard.

After Lin Moli finished speaking, she reached out and gently rubbed my arm again.
