I feel so suffocated and uncomfortable...

Jane sat in the chair, her mouth dry, staring blankly at her phone, which had only 1% battery left.

Around 6:00 PM, she finally realized that Li Tong and Zeng Ying might have forgotten about her there.

Jane pounded on the door and screamed for help, but no one came to her rescue.

The small room was still under renovation and didn't even have air conditioning. The stuffy air and sticky feeling made her extremely irritable.

She still couldn't believe that she had actually been forgotten in such a godforsaken place, and that she was locked up and couldn't get out.

Faintly, Jane heard noises coming from outside.

Overjoyed, she ran to the door, as if she heard someone calling her name.

"I'm here! Help!" she pounded on the door.

Footsteps came from outside the door.

"Are you alright?" It was Yu Yunting's voice.

"Hmm..." she replied weakly.

Then came the sound of a lock being opened. Jane Ailing stared blankly at the moment the door was opened, as if she had just escaped a disaster.

She saw Yu Yunting, Xu Cheng next to him, and two people who looked like security guards.

Yu Yunting frowned as he looked at the disheveled woman in front of him.

He clearly had a lot to ask, but in the end he simply said, "It's alright."

Upon hearing this, all the grievances and resentment in Jane Ailing's heart were instantly stirred up.

Although she tried to hold back her tears, her eyes had unknowingly become red and swollen, as if they were about to burst into tears at any moment.

Thank goodness he came... otherwise she doesn't know how long she would have been locked up inside.

Yu Yunting paused for a moment, then picked up his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders. "Let's go."

"Hmm..." Jane Ailing's voice was still hoarse after she had been calling out inside for an unknown amount of time.

She immediately left the cramped room and followed Yu Yunting downstairs.

"Boss, I've already spoken with the airport, and they've agreed to let us take off at 11 o'clock." Xu Cheng put down his phone and immediately reported to Yu Yunting.

"Also... the translator we hired suddenly developed acute appendicitis today and just had surgery at the hospital. He needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days and can't come..."

Yu Yunting frowned. "Aren't there any other alternatives?"

"Uh..." Xu Cheng's forehead broke out in a sweat from the question. "I'll look around tonight and contact them to see if there are any translators like that in Jiangcheng, but I'm not sure if I can be on duty tomorrow morning..."

"Are you rushing to the airport?" As Jane walked out of the elevator, she saw his car.

"You go ahead, I'll drive back myself." She looked up at Yu Yunting.

"Wait." Jane Ailing had just turned around when someone behind her called out to her.

Did you major in German in university?

"Is... what's wrong?" She turned her head back.

"Why don't you come work part-time as a translator? We happen to be short of a German translator."

Jane Ailing stared blankly at Yu Yunting, then looked at Xu Cheng beside him, whose eyes were shining as if he had seen a savior.

"But... how can I go on a business trip with you looking like this?" She was filthy and disheveled, and felt terrible.

"I don't even have clothes, I have nothing..."

"It's alright, Mrs. Yu, you can buy the clothes after you arrive, or I can buy them for you!" Xu Cheng's tone sounded particularly excited.

It was rare to find a suitable person to solve this problem, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity no matter what.

"And I'm not even sure I'll be able to do it..."

"Don't worry, I will find a suitable translator as soon as possible. You'll just need to have a brief transition tomorrow. When we introduce you to others, we can say you are Mrs. Yu, not a professional translator."

"I..." Jian Ailing's eyes darted around, unsure how to refuse Xu Cheng's enthusiasm.

"This is paid work." This time it was Yu Yunting who spoke up.

"How many?" Jane Ailing blurted out almost without thinking.

How many do you want?

"I..." She looked at the two of them, thinking quickly.

They urgently need a German translator and there is currently no one more suitable than themselves, so why don't they just let her name her price?

Anyway, Yu Yunting isn't short of money, so he probably won't hold a grudge against her, right?

"...Then I want 100,000." As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Ailing regretted it a little.

After thinking about it, he realized that he still owed Yu Yunting ten million yuan, and this amount of money wouldn't be enough to make up for much of it.

We should ask for more.

Xu Cheng opened his eyes wide in astonishment and then looked at Yu Yunting.

"Okay," he replied casually.

Xu Cheng patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

That's true, perhaps it's just the couple's way of having fun. As for Xu Cheng, as long as Mrs. Yu is willing to cooperate with his work, he's fine with anything.

"You'll also reimburse me for the cost of the new clothes."

"Any other requirements? Please state them all at once."

Jane Ailing frowned and thought seriously for a moment, "Is food and lodging included too?"

"Of course it's wrapped up," Xu Cheng nodded quickly.

"Just so you know, I haven't practiced in a while, so I might be a little rusty. You can't use that as an excuse to deduct money from my pay." After saying that, Jian Ailing happily opened the car door, looking more energetic. "That's all."

"Alright, let's get going, otherwise our takeoff will be delayed again!"

"How could you be so stupid as to lock yourself on the 4th floor?" The Bentley started up again, and Yu Yunting glanced at the person next to him.

She seemed to be in better shape than before, but strands of her hair were still damp with sweat and stuck messily to her forehead.

The light-colored coat was also covered in dust and looked dirty.

"I..." Jane moved her lips, unsure how to explain.

"Zeng Ying took me there. She told me to wait there and that Li Tong would come to find me later. But I waited until just now, and no one came. Besides, there's no cell phone signal there, so I can't make a call at all."

"Why would you go to the 4th floor?" Xu Cheng, sitting in the front row, asked in confusion. "The 4th floor is still under renovation. The construction team hasn't been working these past two days, so there's no one there at all. If you wanted to work, you wouldn't go to the 4th floor."

"But she really did take me there!" Jian Ailing frowned, looking anxiously at Yu Yunting, then at Xu Cheng. "This is my first time at Tianheng headquarters. How could I have inexplicably gone to the 4th floor?"

Xu Cheng looked at Yu Yunting and remained silent.

Jane Ailing's words do make sense, but Zeng Ying... she's the boss's sister, why take her to the 4th floor?

"You mean, Xiaoying locked you there?"

"I...I'm not sure. I don't think so. She probably just forgot me there." Although Jian Ailing herself couldn't understand why Zeng Ying would take her to that construction site.

"I will have the brand department provide an explanation."
