Su Yi Mo watched as anger surfaced onto Ran Feng Ge's features, "For the coming nine months, you aren't allowed to accept any other job offers. I will increase your salary by three hundred thousand. You only need to do your job well."

Ran Feng Ge couldn't release his anger. The stuffy feeling was heavy on his chest, and it was very uncomfortable. All he wanted to do now was yell at Su Yi Mo, but with the vision of all that money, Ran Feng Ge could only hesitate.

Three hundred thousand...

Su Yi Mo didn't know who Ran Feng Ge was supposed to stand-in for based on An Chen's previous call. He also didn't know that Ran Feng Ge only wanted to take this job for one reason, and that was so he could help rescue Jing Qiu Han's younger sister.

All Su Yi Mo knew was that if he prevented Ran Feng Ge from taking on this job, then... he and Lan Kuang wouldn't need to have any dealings at all.

But what Su Yi Mo forgot to take into account was that, Ran Feng Ge being Jing Qiu Han's body double would only increase the possibility of his exposure to Lan Kuang.

Ran Feng Ge sighed deeply as he thought about the circumstances now. Why would he choose to forgo three hundred thousand AND put himself in such a dangerous situation?

That just what's-her-name-Jing-Qiu-Lan, who cares if she lived or died? As long as he did his job well playing the role of Jing Qiu Han, he didn't need to worry about anything else!

"Have you considered things properly now? This deal is very lucrative for you." Su Yi Mo said, deliberately making his tone as cold as he could.

"Are you being serious?" Ran Feng Ge asked suspiciously.

Su Yi Mo eyed the suspicious look in the other man's eyes and immediately made a call to Ah Jiu: "Ah Jiu, transfer an additional three hundred thousand into Ran Feng Ge's bank account. Yes, do it right away!"

Ran Feng Ge felt his eyes go wide like saucers, looking at Su Yi Mo incredulously.

Su Yi Mo and Ran Feng Ge silently stared at each other.

After a minute, Ah Jiu called back to inform Su Yi Mo that the transfer had been done.

Su Yi Mo tilted his head towards a laptop on the table and asked: "Do you want to check?"

Ran Feng Ge had originally wanted to refuse, but seeing as how arrogant Su Yi Mo looked at the moment, he couldn't help but feel very annoyed. He refused to believe that Su Yi Mo would just give him an additional three hundred thousand for no reason!

In accordance with the contract the two of them signed before, if Ran Feng Ge were to accept another job while he was still working for Su Yi Mo, even if Su Yi Mo wanted to dismiss him and make Ran Feng Ge pay for the breach of contract, it still would have been legal. So why would he increase his pay instead?

Ran Feng Ge didn't bother thinking it through. In fact, Su Yi Mo didn't know what else he could do to keep Ran Feng Ge to himself. All he could think of was using this simple and idiotic, but effective method.

That was because he knew how much Ran Feng Ge loved money. Regardless of whether Ran Feng Ge's love for money was real or not, Su Yi Mo believed this was the only way he could keep Ran Feng Ge by his side temporarily.

Ran Feng Ge pushed past Su Yi Mo and keyed in his bank account login details, one number at a time. He didn't forget to look up at the imposing man before him suspiciously to see if Su Yi Mo had a card up his sleeves. However, all he saw was the infallible iceberg.
