So It Turns Out You’re a Fox Spirit (GL) - Chapter 28
Zhou Yi suddenly became affectionate, his eyes full of mischief: “Xiao Yao, I’ve been on blind dates for so many years, and now I realize you’re quite good.”
Le Xiaoyao had been friends with him for five years and knew him too well. During work, they talked about work; after work, they talked about finding a partner! However, Young Master Zhou’s words really disgusted her this time. This man was simply resorting to any means to find a wife.
“I said you’re not going on a blind date after work, but coming to find me for dinner? How are you going to solve your major life event?” Le Xiaoyao wasn’t worried at all that Zhou Yi’s “evil clutches” would reach out to her. After all, after so many years, if that guy was interested in her, would he wait until now to make a move? Besides, the two were like buddies; he might not even be willing to make a move if she let him.
“Just consolidating our revolutionary friendship, you won’t even come to dinner when I invite you. Tell me! Did you solve your major life event? Damn~ You’re faster than me… Is fate really something that can only be encountered by chance!”
In short, after “bullshitting” with Young Master Zhou for a long time, she finally got the information out.
Sure enough, Le Xiaoyao’s guess was correct, it was that matter again…
A new beauty had joined the planning department. She had only been there for a few days, but her popularity in the company was soaring! Le Xiaoyao had to squeeze out time from her busy schedule to complain about this looks-obsessed world. Was there no depth left? It wasn’t just about looks, the important thing was that she was new! Unlike the “daylilies” who had been mixing in the company for several years, no one would want them if they were thrown on the street…
Any newcomer, especially female, as long as she was of average or above attractiveness, naturally caused a “bloodbath” among the male colleagues in the company. So, the new junior colleague, Xiao Yu, in the planning department was immediately included in Young Master Zhou’s list of potential marriage partners. Young Master Zhou wasn’t dating with a mischievous attitude; he was serious about marriage, and this point alone scared off many female colleagues.
Le Xiaoyao had met Xiao Yu from the planning department. She was indeed quite likable, competent at work, and had a sweet smile that was even sweeter when she talked. Her voice was sickeningly sweet. She didn’t expect Young Master Zhou to like this type?
“I didn’t expect that. I thought you preferred the virtuous wife and loving mother type… By the way, is that Xiao Yu quite a bit younger than you? Can you bring yourself to make a move?”
“Get out, get out, it’s only a few years! Buddy, I really need your help now. If I, a grown man, ask her out abruptly, I’m afraid I’ll scare her…”
Le Xiaoyao gave a sly smile: “Scare her? I think you’re afraid of being rejected… So, you want me to use public means for private ends? Use work as an excuse to help you hook up with a girl? Young Master Zhou, you’re good!”
Recently, she had a small case on hand, and Xiao Yu was responsible for the copywriting part, so she often came to the design department. She didn’t expect to be targeted after a few visits! What a beast… Le Xiaoyao was certain that Zhou Yi wasn’t the only one eyeing her, which was why Zhou Yi was so anxious to pursue her. If he was late, she would be gone…
“Fine, I just happen to have a few questions to ask about the copywriting design for that project.”
Young Master Zhou became anxious again. I told you to use work as an excuse, but you’re actually discussing work? “She’s already tired enough during work hours, and you’re still talking about work with her after work. Do you have any humanity left!”
Le Xiaoyao was speechless.
Asking Xiao Yu out for dinner was quite smooth. Although they weren’t in the same department, Le Xiaoyao was somewhat of a senior and a superior. Le Xiaoyao saw that she was quite enthusiastic about her work, and as soon as she heard it was about a work problem, she immediately became nervous.
“You don’t need to be nervous, we’re just having an exchange. If you’re new to the company and have anything you don’t understand, you can also ask…” Le Xiaoyao wanted to say “ask me,” but Zhou Yi coughed a few times abruptly, and she understood. “You can ask Supervisor Zhou, it’s free~”
Zhou Yi chimed in from the back: “It’s just an exchange, no need to be nervous.”
The most tragic thing in Le Xiaoyao’s life was having two bad friends! Absolute bad friends! They were both unprincipled and heartless when it came to romance. Huang Chenchen was one, and Young Master Zhou was the other!
That bastard Zhou Yi talked a good game, what consolidating revolutionary friendship? What helping her move? He probably forgot all about the North Star after seeing that Xiao Yu. During dinner, Le Xiaoyao only talked about work with Xiao Yu for two sentences, and then the topic was immediately taken over by Young Master Zhou. After all, with years of blind dating experience, talking endlessly at the dinner table was simple!
Le Xiaoyao was also collapsing internally. She wasn’t even a third wheel sitting there; she was completely invisible. Zhou Yi completely treated her like air.
The final result was that Zhou Yi successfully became the knight in shining armor and sent the sweet Xiao Yu home. The moving issue had long been thrown to the back of his mind. How could she not be angry? Asking others for help is worse than asking herself for help, and asking herself for help is worse than… asking Big Sister Huang. She still had to squeeze in at Big Sister Huang’s place tonight…
However, the matter of moving must be implemented immediately, so Le Xiaoyao decided to take a day off~ In the morning, she watched Big Sister Huang spinning 360 degrees in front of the mirror with no dead angles, asking herself, “Do I look good?”
The scene was very bizarre.
“Big Sister, are you sick? Tell me, your sister won’t despise you.”
Huang Chenchen gave her a flick on the forehead.
Today was a good day for her reinstatement, so naturally, she had to dress up meticulously. Although the process of reinstatement was very arduous, the result was what mattered! Not the process! Let that memory drift away with the wind…
At the TV station, Huang Chenchen was popular again. President Xu from Leader personally came forward to have her reinstated. Just based on this, Big Sister Huang could be “deified” again~ How many people at the station wanted to get close to President Xu, but they couldn’t even say a word.
However, the old saying goes, a loss may turn out to be a gain.
As it turned out, through this incident, the Director had fully realized Huang Chenchen’s capabilities. He had always thought the daring Huang, who only had brute force, actually had some wisdom, and perhaps it was this brute force that helped her win over President Xu! In any case, competent people have more work. “Xiao Huang~”
Huang Chenchen stood respectfully, preparing to receive some praise, getting herself mentally prepared in case she floated to the sky later. “Mmm.”
“I see your relationship with President Xu is quite good. Wasn’t there an empty interview slot before? See if you can strive for it and invite President Xu to be a guest?”
Oh my god, this wasn’t… She actually had to see that little demon again. She knew she couldn’t look her straight in the face anymore… Whenever Huang Chenchen thought of her, her mind was filled with the shameful image of her taking off her clothes. Unconsciously, her face flushed…
“Director, but President Xu… clearly stated that she doesn’t want to accept interviews? You see… this…”
“Opportunities are to be fought for! You young people have the ability. Besides, I’m very optimistic about you. Don’t let me down~”
All leaders were the same. They didn’t want to hear about the process; the result was the most important~ Strive, strive, why didn’t he go strive for it himself? But after all, he was the top boss. Huang Chenchen didn’t want to pack up and leave, but being caught in the middle made things difficult. “I… I’ll do my best.”
The Director nodded in satisfaction and specifically emphasized, “As long as you are dedicated, things will definitely get done.”
Wasn’t he indirectly saying that she must get this done? Huang Chenchen thought about it. She had already “gone through a lot” just to get reinstated, and now she had to do an interview? God knows how tough Xu Xuan’s attitude was before. As soon as an interview was mentioned, she would immediately turn hostile. What was it that that little demon couldn’t say? She was truly arrogant. What was wrong with an interview? Would it cost her a piece of flesh?
Walking out of the Director’s office, Huang Chenchen briefly analyzed the situation and concluded: the most urgent thing was to adjust her mindset. If she blushed every time she saw that little demon, she would be utterly humiliated…
All day long, Huang Chenchen heard “President Xu” no less than 50 times. Even when she went home after work, her face was still flushed. Le Xiaoyao had just finished contacting the moving company to move her things over there, and was packing up some things from Big Sister Huang’s house, preparing to leave. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Huang Chenchen’s flushed face…
“What’s wrong with you? Why is your face so red?” This was the first time Le Xiaoyao had seen Big Sister Huang like this. “Are you really unwell?”
Huang Chenchen subconsciously touched her face. It was indeed very hot. “It was… blown by the wind… Oh right, are you leaving?”
“I’ve moved all my things. Finally, I don’t have to endure your temper anymore~”
“Endure my temper? Little sister, do you have any sense of public morality? How many people can tolerate your sleeping posture? Tell me, how many people can tolerate it! Your sister is the one who is liberated, okay?”
Because Fu Jin had said that she slept very properly, Le Xiaoyao’s confidence instantly soared. “Only you say my sleeping posture is bad, why don’t others say so?”
“Others are just embarrassed…” Hmm? That didn’t sound right? Huang Chenchen’s ability to “catch shadows” was maximized. “Little sister… who did you sleep with?”
Only then did Le Xiaoyao realize she had misspoke. She definitely couldn’t say it was Fu Jin, otherwise Huang Chenchen would probably babble on for days, and the key thing was the awkwardness~ So she stammered, “My… my mom said my sleeping posture wasn’t bad!”
She was 27 years old, no, after 27, she would be 28, and she still had the nerve to say she slept with her mother? That was more than ten years ago~
Huang Chenchen cupped Le Xiaoyao’s face with both hands, her eyebrows furrowed into an inverted V shape, with a slightly melancholic expression, “You finally couldn’t endure the loneliness, right? Tell your sister, who did you sleep with? Oh no, who slept with you? Let me think… Is it Zhou Yi? I always thought there was something abnormal between you two. You’ve known each other for so many years, one won’t marry, and the other won’t marry. There’s (an affair)…”
“No!” Le Xiaoyao was frank and open.
Silence for a moment.
“No way?” Huang Chenchen’s eyes widened, competing with the Black Cat Detective’s. “Did you really sleep with Fu Jin? You’re something… I’m shocked…”
Although it was the truth, why did it sound like there was an (affair) when Big Sister Huang put it that way? She only held hands, and that was very proper! She naturally couldn’t tell Huang Chenchen this. It would definitely be an uncontrollable mess. Le Xiaoyao still insisted, “No.”
“Alright, you definitely slept with her.” Huang Chenchen was absolutely certain. When she mentioned Zhou Yi’s name earlier, Le Xiaoyao was very candid, but when Fu Jin was brought up, she immediately became a little nervous. Based on years of experience, this girl was definitely about to lie. “Seriously, have you made up your mind? Have you decided to be with her?”
