Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 217: Xia Xue’s Decision

Chen Xiaobei had been mulling over how to get closer to his sister-in-law. After much thought, he concluded that the most direct approach was to have Shen Jiaqi work at his company. After all, being a salesperson was a tough job, and it often came with harassment from men. When that happened, wouldn’t he have the perfect opportunity to step in? If this continued, he was confident Shen Jiaqi would eventually fall for him. To be honest, he felt pretty despicable for extending his demonic claws toward his own sister-in-law. But as the old saying goes, the one in the most favorable position gets the prize. Sooner or later, some man was going to fuck Shen Jiaqi. It might as well be him rather than someone else. Realizing this, Chen Xiaobei had an epiphany. The guilt in his heart was instantly swept away, replaced by the feeling that he was actually doing a great deed.

Immediately after, he said in all seriousness, "Jiaqi, not a single word I just said was false. Everything came straight from the heart. We only live once, so why not live it spectacularly? Don’t you think?"

"Ah!"

Flustered by Chen Xiaobei’s praise, Shen Jiaqi’s face flushed red as she responded timidly, "Um, what you said does make sense. But... but can I really do it? I’ve never done sales before!"

Chen Xiaobei seized the opportunity to pat her hand and comfort her. "Don’t be afraid, you still have your brother-in-law! If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me anytime. Plus, I have so many friends. With just a word from me, they’ll all guide you for free! Bottom line, are you in or not? Surely you’re not that lacking in confidence, are you?"

"Who says I don’t have confidence!" Shen Jiaqi shot back, clenching her fist. "I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to your company to be a salesperson, and I will succeed! It’s just... won’t Director Xia be angry about this?"

"Hahaha," Chen Xiaobei laughed proudly. "Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Sister Xia. I guarantee it won’t be a problem."

As he spoke, he called Xia Xue. Wanting to show off in front of his sister-in-law, he put the phone on speaker. "Sister Xia, remember how you gave He Yang’s position to my sister-in-law? I’ve been thinking about it, and I feel she’s not really suited for office work. She should be out there getting some experience. So, I’ve decided she’ll come work directly for my company. As for He Yang’s position, you can give it to someone else."

"Xiaobei, how can that be okay?" Xia Xue asked in surprise. "Miss Shen’s personnel appointment was just announced to the entire bureau. She can’t just quit her job like this."

"Damn, really?" Chen Xiaobei was speechless, suddenly feeling he had overplayed his hand. Sure enough, even Shen Jiaqi’s lips puckered up, her pretty face filled with disappointment. After all, Chen Xiaobei had managed to spark her interest, and now she really didn’t want to be stuck in an office.

But then, Xia Xue suddenly chuckled. "Xiaobei, how about this? I’ll have Miss Shen hold a nominal position as a department head in Human Resources and then put her on long-term sick leave. That way, she won’t have to come into the bureau to work. Plus, if she ever gets tired of working outside, she can come back anytime. Send me her information in a bit, and I’ll get her social security set up."

PFFT!

Chen Xiaobei almost spat out a mouthful of blood in astonishment. "Sister Xia, isn’t holding a nominal position a bit... improper? That’s just getting paid for doing nothing, isn’t it?"

"Oh, stop. What’s wrong with it?" Xia Xue’s tone was firm. "Xiaobei, we’re family, so it doesn’t matter. Besides, I’m the Director of the Education Bureau now. Who would dare to question me? That settles it. Make sure to send Miss Shen’s information to me soon!"

"Alright! Whatever Sister Xia says," Chen Xiaobei nodded, a smug look finally appearing on his face. "How about this? I’ll have Jiaqi add you on WeChat so you two can talk privately. I’ll stay out of it."

"That works for me!"

Xia Xue chuckled, her voice suddenly turning soft. "Xiaobei, I miss you. When do you have time to come and see me? My new office is huge. You can fuck me right on my desk!"

"Holy shit!" Driving the car, Chen Xiaobei never imagined the gentle Xia Xue would be so bold today. He nearly swerved off the road. It was too late to turn off the speakerphone, so he could only clear his throat and say, "Alright then. I’ll make time in the next few days to come fuck you senseless. Remember to wear your professional attire! I like it when you’re under the desk."

"Okay! I’ll be all fresh and clean, waiting for you."

MWAH!

With that, Xia Xue hung up.

At that moment, even someone as thick-skinned as Chen Xiaobei could feel his face burning. But he had to admit, seeing the utterly shell-shocked expression on Shen Jiaqi’s face was incredibly satisfying. Forcing himself to calm down, he found Xia Xue’s contact information and said, "Here, add her. Don’t be polite; we’re all family."

"Uh, okay..." Shen Jiaqi was dying of embarrassment.

She had expected to be furious watching Chen Xiaobei cheat on her sister right in front of her, to feel that he was completely unworthy of her. But surprisingly, she wasn’t angry at all. Instead, she felt a powerful sense of shock. She just couldn’t understand what kind of bewitching potion Chen Xiaobei had given these women to make them so utterly devoted to him. Xia Xue was even willing to break the rules just to help him! What kind of man is he?

Shen Jiaqi bit her lip, repeatedly stealing glances at Chen Xiaobei’s side profile.

Soon, she and Xia Xue were friends on WeChat. Xia Xue was remarkably efficient; in less than ten minutes, everything was settled. She would receive a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan for the nominal position. There were no extra benefits, but it included the five social insurances and one housing fund, and she didn’t even have to show up for work.

While 60,000 yuan a year wasn’t a huge amount, to Shen Jiaqi, it was an astronomical figure she would never have dared to imagine before. Considering that the most successful of her college classmates was only making 6,000 a month—through back-breaking work at that—Shen Jiaqi suddenly felt like she had risen above her peers!

However, her heart was still pounding with anxiety. She asked timidly, "Brother-in-law, are you sure this is okay? Director Xia and I won’t get arrested, will we?"

"Let’s see who dares!" Chen Xiaobei snorted. "You have your brother-in-law with you. No matter where you are, I won’t let anyone bully you! So don’t worry. It’s really fine."

As he spoke, Chen Xiaobei patted Shen Jiaqi’s cold hand. His gesture was flirtatious, but his gaze was incredibly firm, like a silent promise.

In that instant, Shen Jiaqi’s heart jolted. Her wide eyes grew hazy as she stared, completely lost in the moment.

Fortunately, Shen Jiaqi snapped out of it quickly and said awkwardly, "Thank you, Brother-in-law!"

Chen Xiaobei stopped the car, leaned over casually, and teased, "Just a simple thank you? That’s not very sincere of you, is it?"

"You—" Shen Jiaqi said, annoyed. "What more do you want?"

"How about giving your brother-in-law a kiss? No one’s watching, anyway."

With that, he cheekily pushed his face toward her.
