My Life with Narration

"See, I wasn't wrong. You don't need to worry about anything else, just make sure you have a good relationship with our little President Su. President Shen will naturally remember you. Look, even though there wasn't a promotion, wasn't there a salary raise?"

After work, Old Wang and Feng Yan drove their small car back home. Feng Yan, sitting in the passenger seat, said this.

Both of them had come over from the headquarters with Shen Yi as seasoned employees, so their salaries were naturally higher than those of ordinary employees. Moreover, both of them were now in charge of their own departments, part of the leadership class. With their salaries, even in a first-tier city like Jiang City, they could still live comfortably.

They even owned a car. Although it wasn't a luxury car, getting a car worth a few hundred thousand was quite easy for them.

Before the end of the workday, Old Wang received a notice from the finance department saying that his salary would be bumped up a level next month. The sudden pleasant surprise really stunned him, leaving him a little at a loss.

"Wife, are you saying my pay raise this time is related to my little brother?" Old Wang was a bit perplexed.

Hearing this, Feng Yan sighed. If he wasn't driving, she really wanted to punch this guy: "What do you think? Why else would President Shen give you a raise? Have you done anything outstanding lately?"

Old Wang shook his head.

"Have you saved the company any major losses or made any great contributions?"

Old Wang shook his head again.

"There you go then!"

"But I still don't understand why? It shouldn't be just because I posted the photos of President Shen and my little brother yesterday. President Shen got happy and just..."

As he continued, Old Wang's eyes gradually widened. Feng Yan snorted coldly and said:

"If it weren't for that, do you think you deserve a raise? Sister Deng from the Operations Department, who used to be President Shen's secretary, never got a pay raise just because President Shen personally said so. What do you think?"

"But it was my little brother who told me to post it!"

"Hey, are you trying to be impenetrable? Let me ask you, the little President Su told you to post it, and you had the account, but who took the photos?"

"I did!"

"And who edited the video?"

"Me, again!"

"There you go then. Little President Su told you to post it, it's naturally their private matter to reward each other at home. For someone like you, money is the way they show appreciation. Also, stop calling him 'little brother.' If you can't get used to calling him President Su, call him 'little President Su' like I do. It expresses closeness while showing respect!"

Gotta say, Feng Yan understands social niceties. If it was just up to the simple-minded Old Wang, trying to navigate the workplace would be a bit challenging in this lifetime.

"So that's how it is! Wife, you're really something!" Old Wang looked at the woman in the passenger seat, genuinely admiring her.

"Of course, from now on you take care of the high-end technology, and I'll handle the social relations. The future is bright!"

Feng Yan laughed happily. Ever since she first saw Su Qing coming out of President Shen's office and spitting on the ground, she knew that these two definitely weren't in an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship.

In her view, Su Qing was handsome, young, with skin so tender it could drip water, while President Shen was beautiful, charming, and rich. What's wrong with having a young handsome guy for fun? There's nothing wrong with it. It's not a hidden rule but rather a reasonable distribution of wealth.

Su Qing got money, President Shen got happiness, maximizing the happiness index of human nature, and adding two more doses of happiness for free. It's simply a win-win, so from that moment, she knew this young man was definitely not ordinary. Seize the opportunity to build a good relationship, and benefits will follow.

Evening, at Su Qing's home.

"So you two have officially announced it now?"

"Sister Qing, can't you see? This is someone who couldn't sit still after seeing the rumors online and came to defend their status!" Tang Nan said with a "I've seen through everything" look.

Even though she was busy with the crew today, she was also keeping an eye on the news online, and right now Su Qing's gossip was too numerous to count.

Of course, these are all just the fabrications of netizens. Luckily, Su Qing directly posted a photo with Shen Yi, which directly served as an announcement, and naturally, the online rumors fell apart.

"Oh, don't say that. Today's action was taken by my little brother on his own, without discussing it with me at all. It's really disrespectful of him. I've already criticized him, hahaha!"

Landlady: ...

Tang Nan: ...

The two looked at her with this look of having no potential, immediately feeling a sense of 'just because of this little thing, you've been bought off?'

As the saying goes, bystanders see more clearly, especially the landlady Wen Nanqing, who knew clearly that while it seemed like Su Qing was in control in the relationship with Shen Yi, Shen Yi was actually fully under his control from the start, and quite firmly too.

Just judging from her need to recharge her perverted hobby, there's no saving her, only finding ways to assert herself in this aspect.

"Brother Nan, Sister Wen, have some fruit!"

At this moment, Su Qing came over with a plate of freshly washed fruit, smiling.

"Little Su, you just casually announced the relationship like that, making the two of you comfortable. But didn't you just put Sister Qing and me in an awkward position? Making it seem like the two of us aren't as good as Xiao Yi!" Tang Nan picked bones out of an egg.

In response, the landlady unusually joked: "Exactly, we are obviously good-looking too, but you announced it at this time, as if we don't catch your eye. You have to compensate us!"

Hearing this, Su Qing couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "I'm just an ordinary person, not a celebrity or idol. What's this announce or not announce? Isn't it because there was some uproar online again? This past month, there's been quite the buzz online about me, better not let public opinion spiral."

Hearing this, Tang Nan felt like she got an arrow to the knee.

"What's wrong with being a celebrity? Did they eat your rice?"

"They didn't eat my rice, but I've never seen you publicize your relationship when you were dating!" Shen Yi stepped in to help when she saw someone bullying her little brother.

"I-I was being low-key, alright!" Tang Nan replied stubbornly.

Su Qing rolled his eyes at this: "Tell that to Da Huang, see if it believes you!"

Just as the words fell, Da Huang lifted its head, with its fur tied up into ridiculous little ponytails by the little girl: "Woof woof, woof woo~~" [Don't call me, I'm annoyed here. Can no one do something about this girl? She seems even more energetic than me. Did she really go to school today? Use the money to buy dog food for buying her textbooks instead, hurry up!]

It was all emotion, no skill, but unfortunately, aside from Su Qing, no one understood what it was expressing, which was a bit tragic.

"Oh right, Sister Wen, how are things going at the shop today?" Su Qing asked as he sat down.

Hearing this, the landlady laughed immediately: "Not bad, not bad. With Da Huang as the mascot at the front desk, the number of customers today, although not as many as when you and Xiao Yi were here yesterday, was still quite good. Many people even signed up for membership.

"Xiao Yi's method is really effective; today, two influencers came to visit the shop."

Shen Yi nodded: "The downstairs focuses on mass consumption, pricing shouldn't be too high, just maintain the heat. The real profit lies in the upstairs membership. The products in Sister Qing's shop are genuinely good. With some professionals brought in, you'll definitely attract people who have the ability to spend. Rest assured!"

Seeing Shen Yi say so, Wen Nanqing felt more confident.

Then, after a simple meal at his home, the next morning, Su Qing accompanied Tang Nan to the East City Public Security Bureau.

While Shen Yi was working in the office, Feng Yan knocked and entered: "President Shen, there's someone outside who says they want to see you."

Hearing this, Shen Yi paused: "See me? Who?"

She tried to recall, with no memory of any appointments for the day, creating some confusion.

"It's a woman, very beautiful, she said she knows little President Su and is his university teacher." Feng Yan said cautiously.

Because her keen senses picked up a hint of something unusual.

"Little brother's university teacher, Liu Shuzhu?" Shen Yi put down what she was working on and became slightly interested.

"That's... not very clear. But she said she knows little President Su, so I had to come ask you."

At this, Shen Yi's delicately curved lips slightly upturned: "I understand, let her come to my office then!"
