My Villain Is Super Sweet (GL) - CHAPTER 58

By mid-October, everyone was ready to move into the new office.
Lin Lang’s security company moved in first. The guards were full of energy, with broad shoulders, long legs, and an air of confidence that radiated testosterone.

This left the women at Gu Qingci’s company, whether tech nerds or administrative staff, practically drooling.

A good figure, even with just an average face, is still eye candy!

And the rare tall, leggy, and handsome women among the guards? Even more popular!

You couldn’t just casually touch the handsome male guards, but the cool female guards? Totally fine!

Heh-heh.

The slim male tech staff could only collectively sulk.

With over a hundred stunningly fit guards next door, there was certainly a sense of security. But at the same time, an overwhelming sense of inadequacy too.

Showing off muscles and physique all day—how were the scrawny guys supposed to cope?

The office park also included apartments that could be used as employee housing: singles, doubles, studios, one-bedroom units, two-bedroom units, and even larger options.

When Lin Lang rented the office space, she also conducted an internal survey and secured enough apartments for their staff based on their preferences.

The park was in the suburbs, a bit far from the city center, but the living conditions were much more spacious and comfortable—several levels above city living. Plus, there was a subway station just two kilometers away, making weekend trips to the city easy.

And on top of that, the handsome male and female guards could drive employees to the subway station.

It was absolutely delightful.

The most delightful of all, of course, was Lin Lang.

Whenever they hosted business partners, there were always those self-proclaimed young talents who tried hard to impress Gu Qingci, showering her with attention. They eagerly sought every opportunity to interact with the beautiful boss.

Now, far from the bustling city, pickups and drop-offs were handled by Lin Lang’s security team. It not only saved Gu Qingci the hassle but also added to her company’s prestige, potentially drawing in more business deals.

A win-win scenario!

The only ones unhappy were those self-absorbed young men who felt this setup cut off their access to Gu Qingci, ruining their chances of winning her over.

Not long after the move, potential business partners who were only one step away from signing deals began visiting as scheduled for site tours.

Among these visitors, Fang Baihui stood out the most.

While others arrived with their teams, carrying stacks of documents, he came with his team bearing flowers. Looking sharp and surrounded by his entourage, he strode in like he was walking down the aisle.

Lin Lang: ???

This isn’t a movie set—what’s going on here?

Everyone else: !!!

The female staff, who had just been mesmerized by his charm, gasped in shock and quickly snapped out of it, silently screaming in their heads.

This proud, elegant, and dashing gentleman—is he openly chasing after our Boss Gu?!

Wow, they look so good together!

When exceptional people come together, sparks are bound to fly. Just imagining the two of them standing side by side was enough to make their hearts race.

Lin Lang twitched her lips and stepped forward.

“Mr. Fang, welcome. I’m Gu Qingci’s assistant. She’s waiting for you upstairs. This way, please.”

Standing at 184cm tall, Fang Baihui glanced down at Lin Lang’s professionally polite face, which showed no admiration, only faint shock.

At 172cm tall, Lin Lang slightly tilted her head up to meet his eyes. Despite her outward composure, inwardly, she was on high alert.

Don’t think I don’t know—Gu Qingci initially pursued me because of my looks. She figured, with this face and body, it’d be worth it no matter what.

If it weren’t for that, how could I have gotten her so easily?

Now this Fang Baihui is even more striking than me. Who knows what my face-obsessed girlfriend might think?

Maximum alert level activated!

Satisfied with her calm response, Fang Baihui nodded with approval, speaking in an aloof tone, “Hmm, you’re not bad.”

As long as they weren’t mesmerized by his looks and drooling, they were talented in his book. If they could remain indifferent and wary like Lin Lang, they were extraordinarily talented.

Finding a suitable assistant was so difficult. Both men and women had fallen for his looks before!

But Lin Lang, who was praised, didn’t feel flattered at all. She politely smiled and stepped back two paces to avoid looking up at him. Gesturing toward the elevator, she said, “Thank you, Mr. Fang. Right this way.”

Fang Baihui followed her.

When they reached the top floor, Gu Qingci, who had come to greet them, was stunned as the elevator doors opened.

Her reaction was nearly identical to Lin Lang’s. What in the world? What’s he playing at? Is this some sort of idol drama?

She had never heard of Fang Baihui being so dramatic before.

The moment he saw her, Fang Baihui handed her the flowers without hesitation. “Flowers for a beauty. Only you are worthy of these.”

Gu Qingci’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Are you trying to get me killed?!

This guy is pure trouble!

She instinctively glanced at Lin Lang.

It wasn’t about fear. She wasn’t afraid of Lin Lang, not at all!

It was just… being handed flowers in front of her girlfriend like this? Ugh, such a headache, so awkward, and just a tad guilty.

She had all these thoughts, yet her expression betrayed nothing. Calmly, she accepted the flowers and thanked him.

As if the flowers meant nothing to her.

After handing over the bouquet, Fang Baihui casually dusted off his sleeves, unbothered by any potential awkwardness. “You’re the first woman I’ve ever found interesting. I just wanted to give you these flowers.”

Gu Qingci sighed internally.

Please, just stop talking. The less you say, the better for me.

Fang Baihui’s little stunt had a purpose.

First, he wanted to make Gu Qingci’s significant other feel a sense of urgency. A little competition might draw them out and give him a chance to connect and learn how to win over someone exceptional.

Second, if he gave flowers to the boss in front of everyone, no one in her company would dare approach him inappropriately. After all, who would want to offend their boss?

Fang Baihui had no idea why Gu Qingci looked so mortified. He was busy mentally patting himself on the back for his cleverness.

Meanwhile, his assistant, walking alongside Lin Lang, suddenly felt a chill.

He cautiously glanced around, only to meet Lin Lang’s icy gaze.

He shivered involuntarily.

Why was Gu Qingci, such a kind and elegant person, stuck with such a terrifying assistant?

Oh no, maybe she thought his boss was a playboy who flirted with every woman he met.

But that’s not true!

His boss might be nearing thirty, but he’s still a pure-hearted romantic!

Why else would he pull off something so cheesy?

Desperate to defend his boss, he whispered, “Our boss is serious about Miss Gu. He’s never treated anyone else like this before.”

Lin Lang’s expression grew colder.

After a long pause, she said in a peculiar tone, “Oh, then he must be really lame.”

Giving someone flowers count as being serious? How bad was he before?

Fang Baihui’s assistant instinctively nodded.

That’s hard to argue with.

Such a flashy gesture—seriously lame, with no sense of class!

But then he froze, horrified. Why had he just agreed with someone criticizing his boss?!

Unsurprisingly, Fang Baihui’s antics worked. No one at Gu Qingci’s company, male or female, dared to openly fawn over him anymore.

The cooperation details were mostly settled before his visit. The remaining negotiations focused on the finer points.

While their teams argued in the conference room, Fang Baihui seemed completely idle. After wrapping up remote work, he often wandered off to chat with Gu Qingci.

Lately, his family had been pressuring him to settle down, acting like he was squandering his good looks by staying single.

Part of why he stayed with the team for so long was to escape that suffocating atmosphere.

Who could understand his struggle?

He just wanted a partner with intelligence who wouldn’t judge him by his appearance—a soulmate.

But over 90% of people cared only about his looks, not his personality.

This had made him somewhat extreme. Anyone indifferent to his appearance was automatically a saint in his eyes—someone beyond superficial attractions, someone worth respecting.

On this front, he figured Gu Qingci would understand him. After all, handsome men were rare, but beautiful women? They were everywhere.

Gu Qingci never imagined Fang Baihui would bring up workplace sexual harassment and inappropriate comments during business interactions.

She silently reflected on her biases. Maybe anyone with striking looks, regardless of gender, had experienced similar troubles.

The conversation inevitably touched on the He family.

Fang Baihui casually mentioned, “The He family’s been having a rough time lately.”

He gave her a meaningful look. “Ever since you went back, several creditors have demanded repayment and stopped renewing loans.”

This withdrawal of funds had thrown the He family into chaos. They were even considering selling off prime projects to stabilize their cash flow.

Of course, Gu Qingci wasn’t going to admit she had a hand in that. She raised an eyebrow. “Business is business. Money flows where it’s profitable—it’s normal.”

Whether these lenders pulled out to invest in her projects or just to curry favor, it was all about profits.

Not her problem!

Fang Baihui flashed a knowing smile but didn’t press further. Some things were best left unsaid.

Still, he thought she handled it brilliantly. People like He deserved to be crushed!

Fang Baihui then changed the subject with sudden enthusiasm. “Hey, last time I forgot to ask—do you have any friends like you? Just someone similar would be great!”

Before she could answer, he added, “Oh, or like your assistant, Lin Lang—she’d be fine too!”

Lin Lang was someone who treated him like air, which was refreshing. Plus, she had both brains and looks.

Gu Qingci nearly choked.

Her gaze darkened as she stared at her own hands.

Last time, a single bouquet cost her dearly to pacify a jealous partner.

Hmph, this time, it’s Lin Lang’s turn to make it up to me.

Tonight, she’d clip her nails.

Hmph!
