Wen Jiaxuan’s family and Qian Wuyou family represent the two most mainstream types of families in society.
The former works for others; the latter works for themselves.
Although Wen Jiaxuan’s father, Wen Hua, and brother, Wen Yiran, both work for the country, they still can’t compare to the wealth of the Qian Wuyou family, and their connections are not as extensive as the Qian Wuyou family’s.
“So, are you suggesting you want to sponsor your boss?” Qian Wuyou listened to Wen Jiaxuan rambling on various topics and summarized in the end.
“It’s not sponsoring; where would I get the money to sponsor?” Wen Jiaxuan whispered from behind the yard wall, lowering his voice as he talked to Qian Wuyou on the phone. “What I mean is, doesn’t your family also deal with outdoor travel apparel? Maybe you can ask my boss for a partnership.”
“Are you in charge of sponsorship at the company?” Qian Wuyou asked curiously.
“No, the one responsible for sponsorship is another shareholder with the last name Zhang,” Wen Jiaxuan replied, sounding like a professional. “I’m the boss’s personal assistant.”
“You’ve only been here for three months, is it necessary to be so dedicated?” Qian Wuyou couldn’t help but comment. “Have the shareholder in charge of sponsorship contact me. I’ll take a look at the magazine and discuss it with my dad later.”
“I knew Boss Qian is the best!”
“You stop right there. Last time, you said you’d return my money once you received your salary. Did your boss mention when the salary would be paid?”
Wen Jiaxuan’s smile instantly froze on his face. He had almost forgotten that he still owed Qian Wuyou a thousand yuan.
Last time, when Qian Wuyou helped him send his luggage, he asked when Wen Jiaxuan would pay back the money. At that time, Wu Zehao was still in Croatia, and they hadn’t discussed his salary yet. Wen Jiaxuan thought it would be a matter of time before he got paid, not realizing that his salary was actually zero.
He didn’t dare to tell Qian Wuyou the truth, fearing that Qian Wuyou would think Wu Zehao was an exploitative boss, which could affect the sponsorship deal.
“We’ll be paid next month,” Wen Jiaxuan said nervously.
“What day?” Qian Wuyou asked quickly.
“…The 5th,” Wen Jiaxuan hesitated and made up a date.
“So soon? Alright, remember to pay me back.”
Qian Wuyou hung up without hesitation, leaving Wen Jiaxuan feeling relieved as he patted his chest.
Is 5th too soon? He had originally wanted to say the 3rd.
When Wen Jiaxuan returned to the room, Wu Zehao had just finished showering and was about to go upstairs. He casually asked, “Who were you talking to so secretly on the phone?”
“My classmate,” Wen Jiaxuan automatically ignored the second half of Wu Zehao’s question.
Wu Zehao didn’t inquire further and headed upstairs. Wen Jiaxuan hurriedly stopped him, saying, “Boss, can you send me Zhang Zhitao’s contact information?”
“Why do you need his contact information?” Wu Zehao asked.
“I just want to save it,” Wen Jiaxuan replied, not revealing his intention to secure sponsorship.
Wu Zehao wasn’t sure if the sponsorship deal would work out, and Wen Jiaxuan was afraid that Wu Zehao would consider him too nosy, so he decided not to tell him for now.

Wu Zehao wasn’t suspicious and continued upstairs, saying, “The phone is upstairs. I’ll send it to you later.”

“Yes,” Wu Zehao stepped onto the second-floor landing. “The finance department needs time to calculate the salaries; it’s not just a matter of saying it.”
“I see,” Wen Jiaxuan nodded thoughtfully.
“By the way,” Wu Zehao turned around to face Wen Jiaxuan, “why did you follow me upstairs?”
“Well…” Wen Jiaxuan said embarrassedly, “I have something I want to discuss with you.”
“What is it?” Wu Zehao asked.
“I previously said I didn’t want to be paid for my work,” Wen Jiaxuan hesitated, “Can I take back that statement?”
“You want money?” Wu Zehao asked.
“Yeah, just two hundred,” Wen Jiaxuan gestured with a number two on his chest. His brother had given him five hundred before, and he still owed Qian Wuyou more than three hundred, so two hundred would cover it.
“Alright,” Wu Zehao agreed quickly.
Wen Jiaxuan once again admired how good his boss was and thought that earning two hundred was a matter of minutes. So he said, “Boss, you work in front of the computer every day. Do your shoulders ache?”
“Why are you asking that?” Wu Zehao walked over to the bed and sat down.
Wen Jiaxuan blinked and suggested, “I can give you a massage. Can we consider it as one work session?”
Wu Zehao remained silent, and Wen Jiaxuan thought he was contemplating whether this arrangement was worthwhile. Little did he know that Wu Zehao was solely focused on the word “massage.”
“How about we consider one massage as 0.5 work sessions?” Wen Jiaxuan cautiously suggested.
“Where are you going to massage, the shoulders?” Wu Zehao asked.
“Wherever you want me to,” Wen Jiaxuan replied quickly.
“Alright, just the shoulders,” Wu Zehao turned over and lay face down on the bed. “Don’t touch anywhere else.”
“Okay, okay, thank you, boss!”
The boss is really easy to talk to.
Wen Jiaxuan climbed onto the bed happily, knelt beside Wu Zehao, and started massaging his shoulders.
Wu Zehao’s shoulders were broad and his muscles were strong, so Wen Jiaxuan had to exert some effort. After a while, Wu Zehao turned his head and asked, “Did I not feed you properly? You seem so weak.”
“I’m putting in effort,” Wen Jiaxuan felt wronged and increased the pressure with his hands.
But Wu Zehao still asked, “Are you scratching an itch?”
Wen Jiaxuan didn’t agree; he thought it was a matter of his position. Currently, he was kneeling beside Wu Zehao, and his body was at a right angle to Wu Zehao’s shoulders, making it difficult to apply pressure.
He thought for a moment and decided to change his position. He straddled Wu Zehao’s lower back with his knees, making it easier to apply pressure. He pressed down hard on Wu Zehao’s shoulders and asked, “How about this?”
Wu Zehao: “…”
Wen Jiaxuan’s focus was entirely on his hands, and he didn’t realize that the movements of his hands were affecting his entire body. With each press, the part of him straddling Wu Zehao’s lower back would move back and forth.
“… Alright, stop massaging,” Wu Zehao said hoarsely.
“It’s not time yet, boss,” Wen Jiaxuan unconsciously tightened his grip on Wu Zehao’s waist to provide better leverage.
“Okay, I’ll give you two hundred directly if you come down,” Wu Zehao suppressed the thoughts racing through his mind and tried to persuade Wen Jiaxuan patiently.
“I can’t accept that,” Wen Jiaxuan insisted. He believed in fair pay for the work he did, and he couldn’t take extra money without reason.
“I said, stop massaging,” Wu Zehao lost his patience completely and propped himself up with his upper body. Then, as if he didn’t feel any weight on his waist, he turned over.
After turning over, Wen Jiaxuan found himself in a position where he was straddling Wu Zehao face to face, and he was completely taken aback.
Wu Zehao propped himself up with his elbows, glanced casually at the small yellow duck between Wen Jiaxuan’s legs. Today, the little duck was all twisted and squeezed into an awkward position, completely different from its usual proud posture.
Wu Zehao suddenly found it amusing.
“Aren’t you coming down?” Wu Zehao asked, recalling something Wen Jiaxuan had said earlier and teasing, “Waiting for me to make a move?”
“N-No, it’s not like that,” Wen Jiaxuan stammered as he tried to move away. However, before he could make a move, Wu Zehao swiftly stood up, using his wrists to support his upper body and trapping Wen Jiaxuan between his thighs and chest.
Wen Jiaxuan’s hands awkwardly hung in the air for a while, unsure of where to place them. Finally, he rested them on Wu Zehao’s shoulders.
What a strange position, Wen Jiaxuan thought, feeling quite bewildered.
Wu Zehao tilted his head and looked at Wen Jiaxuan, chuckling. “Why are you blushing again?”
Wen Jiaxuan didn’t know why but tried to sound composed. “I-I’m feeling a bit warm.”
“Then why don’t you take off your clothes to cool down?” Wu Zehao teased.
Hearing that, Wen Jiaxuan’s eyes widened in shock, and he leaned backward. As a result, his back bumped into Wu Zehao’s thigh, and it seemed like he sat on something substantial.
Wu Zehao’s expression turned serious as he stared at Wen Jiaxuan. Meanwhile, Wen Jiaxuan remained tense and scared to make any movements.
After a while, Wu Zehao sighed as if giving up, then he lowered his legs and said, “Alright, get down.”
Wen Jiaxuan quickly escaped from the second floor and hid on the couch, tightly wrapping himself in the only blanket he could rely on.
His boss’s gaze just now was really intimidating.
It was as if he wanted to devour him completely, leaving nothing behind.
When did his boss become so terrifying?
Wen Jiaxuan couldn’t figure it out, his mind was a mess. At this moment, there was suddenly Wu Zehao’s voice from upstairs, “Kid, don’t want to sleep in your bed today?”
“No!”
Wu Zehao looked at Wen Jiaxuan curled up downstairs and couldn’t help but laugh.
This brat finally learned to behave.
Early the next morning, Wu Zehao gave Wen Jiaxuan both Zhang Zhitao’s contact information and the two hundred yuan for the work. Wen Jiaxuan had prepared a thousand in total, intending to give it to Qian Wuyou depending on the circumstances. As for Zhang Zhitao, he told him about his well-off classmate and the possibility of cooperation, but Zhang Zhitao didn’t seem to take him too seriously and just said they would contact each other later.
Wu Zehao’s blind date was scheduled for this Saturday. Usually, he didn’t pay special attention to his hairstyle at home. However, on this Saturday, as noon approached, Wu Zehao went to the bathroom. When he came out, he had transformed into a stunning and impressive figure.
Wen Jiaxuan, who was studying, was momentarily stunned by the sight and then felt an inexplicable sense of frustration.
As Wu Zehao arrived at the door to change his shoes, Wen Jiaxuan followed suit with quick, noisy steps.
“Why are you dressing like this?” Wen Jiaxuan frowned and said, “Are you really just meeting a friend?”
Wu Zehao found it amusing. “What’s wrong with dressing up when going out?”
“You can dress however you like on regular days, but not today,” Wen Jiaxuan said seriously. “You’re going on a blind date today. What if the person really likes you? Aren’t you causing trouble for them?”
Wu Zehao: “…”
“So, what do you want me to do?” Wu Zehao asked, speechless.
“Start by messing up your hair,” Wen Jiaxuan said as he tried to reach on his tiptoes to mess up Wu Zehao’s hairstyle. However, Wu Zehao effortlessly pushed his head away, creating a one-meter gap between them.
“Don’t be silly. Stay at home and wait for me. I’ll be back after having lunch,” Wu Zehao said.
“What are you going to eat?” Wen Jiaxuan asked, feeling a bit envious. He was planning to eat yesterday’s leftovers, while Wu Zehao was going out to enjoy a nice meal.
“Just some Vietnamese food at the nearby mall,” Wu Zehao replied casually.
Wen Jiaxuan had been to that mall before to watch a movie, so he knew which one Wu Zehao was referring to.
After changing his shoes, Wu Zehao quickly left. He didn’t ride his bike today because it was only a short ten-minute walk from home to the mall.
Wen Jiaxuan returned to the coffee table and continued to work on his homework, but he couldn’t figure out a simple logic problem despite pondering it for a long time.
No, this won’t do, Wen Jiaxuan thought. He closed his computer and decided he needed to keep an eye on his boss. What if he caused trouble with the women he met on the blind date?

I’m honestly surprised how high wu zehao’s self restraint from completely devouring jiajia 😂
Thanks for the update! I think there is a mixup with the names for “WZH wasn’t sure if the sponsorship deal would work out…” shouldn’t it be WJX instead?
Ehe, something tells me Wen Jiaxuan is gonna come off as the jealous boyfriend who is mad at his lover going out!
But he has to realize how he feels… We have to suffer through the second hand embarrassment
