Jiang An did not expect such a situation. She said lovingly, “At your age, you should be in school. You shouldn’t have experienced this.”
The little a.s.sistant shook her head and said, “I still have a younger brother at home. Mom and Dad said that we should let him go to school. I just have to wait to get married.”
Jiang An understood her pain because she had heard these words when she was in the Tan family. However, her adoptive parents had said that they wanted to give all the good things to Tan Si. As an adopted daughter, she should be grateful that she could survive.
Tina could not understand the little a.s.sistant’s pain. She reached out to hit her. “You have no right to speak here.”
“Stop her!” Jiang An said.
Penguin moved quickly and grabbed Tina’s wrist, preventing her from successfully hitting the little a.s.sistant.
Tina said angrily, “This is my employee. You have no right to stop me.”
“This is not a feudal society. You are not qualified to hit employees,” Jiang An said coldly.
Tina was arrogant. “I did hit her. What can you do?”
Jiang An turned to look at the a.s.sistant. “Are you willing to follow me? I’ll give you money to continue your schooling. Your parents won’t have a chance to find you either.”
To the a.s.sistant, this was like a pie falling from the sky. However, she could not believe that such a good thing would fall on her. She hesitated and did not know if she should agree.
Tina grabbed her wrist and said, “I won’t allow you to agree. She’s definitely up to no good. When you get there, she’ll sell you out. By then, you won’t even have a place to cry.”
After all, the little a.s.sistant was still a young lady. Coupled with the fact that she did not go to school, she was very gullible. When she heard Tina’s words, she instantly gave in. She felt that even if she was beaten up, she only needed to survive for two months. At that time, she would be able to support herself even if she had to go to the restaurant to serve dishes.
“Our Miss is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family of Xiyun. What she doesn’t lack the most is money. She can’t do such a thing as selling people. You’re clearly just scaring people.” Penguin snorted.
Although she was the Zou family’s secret guard, she had already been sent to Jiang An’s side by Zou Bai. She had to prioritize Jiang An’s needs. Moreover, this young lady was too pitiful. She had to speak up for justice.
The a.s.sistant was obviously tempted. After all, what Penguin said made sense. She had read about Jiang An’s ident.i.ty on the Internet and knew how rich she was now.
The opportunity was right in front of her. She hesitated, not knowing if she should agree. After all, there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world.
Jiang An could tell that she was hesitating. She said, “All the help I’ll give you is not for free. You need to be in the top ten of the school in every exam. Moreover, you have to enter our Jiang Corporation to work after graduation.”
These conditions sounded very harsh, but as long as one was willing to work hard, they could do it. The a.s.sistant’s eyes lit up and she nodded. “I’m willing!”
Jiang An’s requests made her feel at ease. All her previous worries were thrown away.
Tina bristled. “I don’t agree. She’s my a.s.sistant. None of you are taking her.”
The a.s.sistant didn’t know what to do either. She could only look at Jiang An for help.
Jiang An thought for a moment and said, “You’re underage now, so you didn’t sign an employment contract with her, right?”
The a.s.sistant nodded. “We only have a verbal agreement.”
Jiang An smiled. Since that was the case, Tina could not force her a.s.sistant to stay. Their employment relationship was not valid.
The little a.s.sistant shook off Tina’s hand and walked towards Jiang An. Tina could not hold her at all.
At this moment, she realized that the little a.s.sistant was very strong. Usually, she only did not retaliate because she was aggrieved. Now, she had lost the leverage to threaten her.
Jiang An patted the little a.s.sistant’s head and called her brother to arrange this.
Jiang Yan didn’t know when his sister started to care about such things, but he still went to do it immediately. He asked, “Aren’t you filming? Why are you sponsoring students again?”
Jiang An told her eldest brother the whole story. After listening, Jiang Yan frowned. “Do you need me to do anything?”
His tone was as if he could get Tina arrested the next second if Jiang An the word.
Jiang An refused. “There’s no need. I can handle this matter myself. The filming is starting soon, so I won’t bore you for now.”
After Jiang Yan hung up, he immediately called Jiang Huai. “Arrange for a few more people to take care of An’an’s filming location. There’s a production team nearby that you have to pay attention to..”
