Chapter 011 Hotel

Before she met Wang Bo, Ya Zi had always thought of herself as a rich woman.

But after getting to know Wang Bo, Yazi felt that she was actually not rich at all.

She couldn't imagine the extravagance of the rich.

But regardless, this matter was finally resolved satisfactorily. The nightclub owner, clutching the three million he had received, slipped away in a flash, saying he was going back to prepare the contract and would have Wang Bo come over to sign it tomorrow.

After Wang Bo gave his statement and paid the fine, he left the police station with Barbara.

By now, it was already past eleven o'clock at night.

There were no pedestrians to be seen on the street, only a few cars passing by the two of them.

Wang Bo asked, "Where do you live? Let me take you home first."

Barbara shook her head and said, "No need, thank you. I can go back by myself."

Wang Bo looked at the sky. "It's so late. It's not safe for a woman like you to go home alone. What if you run into a driver with ill intentions? You wouldn't even have a place to cry. Let me take you home."

Barbara did not insist this time; she was also a bit frightened.

"Then thank you."

"Don't mention it. But my car is at the nightclub, so we might have to walk back there first."

"It's fine, just think of it as a walk." In a sense, Barbara was also a considerate woman.

To be honest, Wang Bo quite liked this kind of woman.

At night, a cool breeze blew, brushing against one's head with a hint of refreshment.

Wang Bo asked as he walked, "By the way, the nightclub is now closed for renovations. What are your plans next?"

"I, I think you need to find a new job." Barbara said with a worried expression. These days, a good job isn't that easy to find.

Especially for a woman like her, who is not highly educated.

"Tell you what, since I'm the one who caused you to lose your job, I'll hire you as my secretary. I'm going to turn the nightclub into a decent coffee shop, but I can't be bothered to handle the renovation and hiring myself. How about you do it for me?"

“Me?”

Barbara was immediately tempted by Wang Bo's invitation.

But she immediately shook her head. "I can't do it. I don't know anything about these things. I can't help you."

Wang Bo said dismissively, "Since you don't understand, then visit more places, ask more questions, look at more options, and learn more. No one is born omniscient and omnipotent; you just need to be attentive."

"I... am I really up to it?"

"Of course, if I say you can do it, then you can. As for the monthly salary, it's ten thousand a month, and once you become a regular employee, it'll be twenty thousand a month."

In this era, this is definitely a high salary.

Barbara's resistance was instantly shattered, and she nodded in agreement. Afterwards, the two returned to the nightclub, and Wang Bo drove Barbara home. Barbara told Wang Bo that she lived in the Sham Shui Po district.

Upon hearing that Barbara lived here, Wang Bo couldn't help but frown.

Because of his previous life-risking, he also lived in this place.

This was a slum on Hong Kong Island. Though it couldn't compare to the Kowloon Walled City, the living conditions were still poor — likewise a breeding ground for crime.

Robbery and rape, though not common in such a place, are by no means rare.

Especially those who run with the underworld, many of them live here. Anyone who does business here will have someone collecting protection money.

Some without backing even had to pay several protection fees.

It was precisely because this place was dirty, messy, and bad that Wang Bo wanted to move away from it, not wanting to stay even a single day, even if it meant losing tens of millions of dollars.

Anyway, for Wang Bo, this amount of money meant nothing at all.

Moreover, that ruby that was sold had been copied using a replication mirror. Wang Bo could have as many of those as he wanted; would he really care about a few tens of millions of dollars?

"I didn't expect you to live here?" Wang Bo said with a complicated expression.

Barbara said, "A poor person like me, of course, can only live here."

“I think you should move out as soon as possible. This place isn't suitable for you to live in, especially for a beautiful woman like you.” Wang Bo turned the steering wheel and drove off in another direction.

"Hey, where are you going? I want to go home."

"To the hotel!"

"Hey, what do you mean? Don't tell me you want to... No, absolutely not. I want to get out of the car." Barbara seemed to have misunderstood something and immediately became anxious. "Stop the car. Stop right now. I want to get out."

Wang Bo said, half laughing and half crying, “What are you thinking? I’m telling you to stay at a hotel. I have a house in Repulse Bay—only a fool would stay in a hotel.”

Barbara's face instantly became very awkward, and she stammered, "My home is also quite nice; wouldn't staying in a hotel be too wasteful?"

Wang Bo ignored her and continued, "I'll take you to the hotel later and get you a room. I'll book it for a week, and during that week, you'll stay at the hotel."

"Additionally, I'll leave you thirty thousand Hong Kong dollars as your three-month internship salary. You can use this money to find a suitable apartment and move out of your current place as soon as possible. I don't want to hear that my own secretary was raped in her own home."

"Besides that, I'll give you twenty thousand yuan. Use this money to buy clothes, preferably some stylish ones. You understand what I mean, right?"

Barbara couldn't help but nod. "I understand, boss. I won't let you down."

"Very good." Wang Bo nodded with satisfaction as he saw Barbara getting into character so quickly.

After all, he was a billionaire; if the secretary by his side wore cheap clothes worth only a few dozen yuan, wouldn't that be a laughingstock?

Although Wang Bo wouldn't care too much.

After sending Barbara to the hotel, Wang Bo, as agreed, booked a room for a week, left a check for fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars, and turned to leave.

After leaving the hotel, Wang Bo saw that the road was empty, so he simply whooshed the car back to the garage of his villa.

Then, Wang Bo whooshed out of the garage and went to the bathroom.

After washing his face, Wang Bo whooshed onto the bed, while his clothes had already whooshed into the washing machine, starting to wash automatically.

Wang Bo would lie in bed, covered with a quilt, and fall asleep.

Sometimes, sorcery is just that magical. After learning sorcery, life has become much more convenient.

The next day, Wang Bo slept until around noon before groggily opening his eyes.

This sleep was extremely comfortable.

After getting up, Wang Bo snapped his fingers, and the bathtub in the bathroom automatically filled with water.

Wang Bo zipped into the bathroom, took a refreshing bath, then zipped into the dressing room, changed into a new set of clothes, and came to the dining room.

He took out the gourmet tablecloth and ordered a braised chicken with potato, carrot, and onion. This was a rooster that combined the flavors of potato, carrot, and onion—its comb was a carrot, its crop a potato, and its tail and rump were onions. The taste blended the deliciousness of these three ingredients. Simply stew it until the sauce thickens, and it becomes an excellent curry sauce.

The meat is tender and the flavor is delicious; no matter what cooking method is used, it can be made very tasty.
