"Here's the check you wanted. Take the money and get out!" Ouyang Baba glared at her, his eyes displaying the protagonist's signature pie chart: 30% sarcasm, 30% mockery, and 40% contempt.
It was like a scene straight out of a domineering CEO romance. Su Mali lowered her head and bit her lip. She never thought... that after opening and closing her eyes, she'd really transmigrate into a domineering CEO romance!
"What? You can't bear to leave? We agreed from the start that you were only her replacement. Now that Lian'er is back, there's no need for you anymore, woman." Ouyang Baba impatiently waved the check. "Here's ten million. Take it and get out!"
A string of zeroes followed the 1 on the check. Su Mali counted them: there were seven, all right. The sight stung her deeply, stirring the sensitive heart she'd acquired after merging with the original host.
What's wrong with society these days? Why does 1 get so much less than 0? When will 0 finally get to stand tall? I'm so mad I could shake!
Reluctantly tearing her gaze from the check amid Ouyang Baba's sneers, Su Mali finally parted her lips:
"That's it? That's all?"
"We agreed I'd be your replacement for three months, and you'd pay me ten million. Three months turned into another three months, and now it's been three years, man! Do you think ten million is enough to send a beggar away? It should be at least 120 million! Since we know each other, I'll give you a discount: 100 million, take it or leave it!"
