Chapter 22: Signing the contract

"There is nothing to fret about. I don't get entangled with my employers as I have a clean record. But most importantly, Mr. Fang is not my type,"

Zhang Liling spoke so casually with a warm smile as if she didn't even care about Mr. Fang's existence, and was only going to work for him because she needed a job.

She would be stupid to say anything out of context that would be detrimental to her. She had fallen for Mr. Fang and wasn't afraid of saying it, but if she did, she would regret it as she may never get to come close to him anymore.

Most importantly, the people in the Zhang family cannot find out about her goal until it matured to an extent.

For now, she would try her best to hide her feelings for him.

Bolin gave her a doubtful glance. 'My Boss is not your type? Do you expect me to believe that? Everyone likes my Boss'

It was as if Zhang Liling could read his thoughts and she immediately explained because acting that could be seen as lies and could probably disqualify her.

"I have seen so many handsome men so I'm not moved by them anymore. My taste over the last few years has changed. But if you are still worried, I'm sure Mr. Fang can directly fire me if I act inappropriately.

Her statement was able to make Bolin relax his nerves. He thought she was right, and he was instead worrying for nothing. Mr. Fang would not hesitate to terminate the contract if she pulls any inappropriate stunt.

But he was only afraid of being punished for bringing her in if she breaks the rules.

Nevertheless, Bolin went on to ask her a few questions before being satisfied. Taking out a contract from his bag, he passed it to her.

"Read the agreement and rules properly and only sign them if you consent to all."

In Zhang Liling's mind, she was already shrieking in excitement. She was so easily given a contract after working hard on her lies. Were her dreams finally coming through?

She quickly took the contract from him and flipped over it, going directly to the signing page. Seeing Mr. Fang's signature boldly appearing under his name as the employer, she pointed at it and asked, "Mr. Fang has signed this already?"

This meant that once she penned down her signature, she could directly start work without waiting for Mr. Fang's approval. She was even more excited, but she couldn't show it.

"Yes. He didn't want any delay from you starting work immediately hence, he signed them before traveling. Please go through them as soon as possible," Bolin gestured to her to take a look at the contract as he put a pen on the table.

Zhang Liling smiled. Picking up the pen, she went straight to the signing page to put down her signature without taking a look at the agreement and rules stated above.

Her actions surprised Bolin who watched her smoothly pen down her signature.

"You didn't read the contract, are you trying to get fired on the spot?"

If she didn't even know the contents of the contract, how was she going to last a day?

If not for how surprised he looked, Zhang Liling would have thought he was Mr. Fang, because that speech being said in that tone looked like how he would act.

"I accept every term and condition as long as the pay will be good."

"It is not enough to accept them. Take a look at them as well and learn the important rules made by Mr. Fang." Bolin instructed.

Zhang Liling signed the other copy before passing the original contract back to him. "Alright, I will go through it tonight, thank you, Mr. Bolin," She said, waving the other copy in her hand.

Bolin finally relaxed as he put his intrust in her. He believed that she was professional with her job and would take a look at the contract hence, he didn't bug her about it again.

"Miss Zhang congratulations, you have officially been employed to work as Mr. Fang's housekeeper. You mentioned earlier that the address in your contact list was no longer relevant as your just moved houses today. Give me your current home address,"

Zhang Liling confidently wrote down her new home address while listening to him talk about picking her up the next day.

Although she didn't see things exactly this way, she knew she would have to get a new place that belonged to her as Bolin or her agency might want to confirm it.

There was no way she was going to put the Zhang family's home address unless she has lost her mind. She also couldn't use the address of her closest friend who was living in the school environment, otherwise, it would seem inappropriate.

"Be ready before 10 am, I will be coming to pick you up. Don't forget that you are only allowed to move into Mr. Fang's villa with only one luggage," Bolin revealed in a kind reminder.

For now, Zhang Liling had no issues with that as it wasn't going to be an issue from her side. She simply nodded and accepted whatever he said.

At the end of the successful meeting, the manager, Bolin, and Zhang Liling shook hands.

Zhang Liling was the first to leave as she had to finish moving in her new furniture, plus meeting up with Tungmei before going back to the Zhang house to chat with her mother.

After Zhang Liling had left, Bolin settled the manager with the agent fee, before also leaving. He went straight to Mr. Fang's house to check things out before retiring for the day/

When Mr. Fang arrived at his Fang family residence, he was given a warm welcome by the old housekeeper and butler of the family, before being embraced by his old lady who came to welcome him personally.

Old Madam Fang had more than a few strands of grey hair amongst her black ones. As a warm smile slowly rose to her wrinkled kind face, she held her grandson tightly, while Mr. Fang hoped that she would let him off soon.
