“No…” Yu Lili was a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly, “I’m just working part-time here.”
"That's amazing!" Mr. Li looked at Yu Lili's hands and sighed, "It must be very hard. Look, your hands have become rough, but they used to be white and tender." As he said that, he went to shake Yu Lili's hand, but before they could touch each other, Yu Lili pulled his hand back.
Yu Lili smiled awkwardly: "Boss Li, buy it for your wife?"
"Yeah, it's our wedding anniversary, so we have to put on some pretense." Mr. Li smiled until his eyes narrowed. "Are you healed? Then you can come back to work after the holiday, right?"
"Yes... It's ok. I'll work part-time until after the holidays, and then I'll go back to work after that."
"Okay, being diligent is a good thing. Work hard. I'll tell you about your new position when I come back." Yu Lili nodded, smiling as she wrapped the flowers. Finally, she handed him the 99 wrapped roses and said, "Okay, Mr. Li."
“Thank you, thank you!” Mr. Li reached out to take it. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his palms brushed against the backs of Yu Lili’s hands. The smile on his face deepened. “How much?”
Yu Lili didn't care too much, "Six hundred."
Mr. Li nodded, took out his wallet while holding the flowers, counted the money, and gave Yu Lili 600 yuan. Then, he counted three hundred-yuan bills and stuffed them into Yu Lili's palm, "You packed it very well. This is a tip for you."
"Mr. Li, this..."
Mr. Li's smile deepened, but he soon turned to scolding: "It's just a tip. It's normal for customers to give a little tip. Do you look down on me?"
“No, I just think it’s too much…” As he said this, he was about to stuff it back.
However, Mr. Li took advantage of the situation to hold her hand, pushed it back, and said meaningfully, "You are worth the price."
Before Yu Lili had time to think more, Mr. Li stuffed her hand back and left with the flowers.
You are worth the price...
Yu Lili felt that this sentence was a little strange, so she turned around and looked at the proprietress.
The lady boss also looked at Mr. Li with a strange look and asked, "Who is that?"
"My company's boss, here, Sister Qin, this is the money he gave me. If it's a tip, shall we split it together?"
"Spend money on me, the tip is for you, keep it for yourself, it's not easy for a girl like you out there. But as your boss, I have to remind you, you have to be careful, he seems to like you, and since he has a family, you have to keep your distance from him."
“Of course,” Yu Lili smiled, took the money without hesitation, and whispered, “This guy is so old, I want to find someone tall, rich and handsome!”
Sister Qin chuckled, "You, a man doesn't necessarily have to be tall, rich and handsome, as long as he treats you well. You said you are so beautiful, you can find any type of man you want, don't worry."
Yu Lili felt warm in her heart and nodded: "Yes!"
"Come and help me on weekends when you have nothing to do. Sister Qin can't handle it all by herself. It's okay on weekdays, but I'm particularly tired during holidays. With a beautiful woman here, my business is much better. If you come back next time, I'll give you a commission, okay?"
"I see... But I got a promotion recently, so I might be busy at work. How about this, Sister Qin, I'll come and help you when I'm free on the weekends. As for the salary, we'll talk about it then, okay?"
