BXBX NOVEL Chapter 92 - A Reasonable Young Master
“You know?” Liu Xinlei’s expression froze, and immediately smiled embarrassedly, “Oh, she didn’t tell you why she took leave today, right?”
Liu Xinlei probably thought that my relationship with Liusu has not yet developed to the point of seeing each other’s parents. The look in her eyes had a little worry, some encouragement, and some comfort…
Alas, she is so kind that I didn’t even know what to say. I could only nod a little, and then elder sister Liu continued: “It was ten o’clock last night. She called me and told me that she can’t come to work today and she needs to help her cousin move.”
“Help her cousin move?” Although Liusu often behaves like boys, isn’t it a bit too much to ask a girl to help her move house?
“Well,” elder sister Liu said unconcernedly while refilling water: “Her cousin will move in with her.”
I was dazed.
Moving in with her? Shit!
Only until now did I just realize why she said that she was in trouble last night…
A cousin who came out of nowhere, suddenly wanted to move in to live with her. This situation was exactly like my old man suddenly let Chu Yuan move in with me. Her mother definitely gave her a lot of pressure so that her great filial daughter could not resist it. No wonder she was in a bad mood yesterday. It turned out that she had already had a bad hunch.
Oh boy, this brother, I really sympathize with you.
I silently mourned for the Liusu for three minutes, and secretly blessed her in my heart: smelly girl, you are finally going to change your bad habit of not cleaning your room, right?
. . .
“Jia Jia, why hasn’t Ms. Mo come here today?”
At noon, Yang Wei, Elder Sister Liu and I were going to the canteen for lunch together. It just happened that Song Jia also came to join us, so I asked her this question.
“I don’t know. In the morning, she called me and told me to put all the documents that she needed to sign on her desk, and she would come back to deal with them in the afternoon,” Song Jia replied unconcernedly. Then she smiled at me with a shy face: “Brother Chu Nan, this little girl bought two new clothes last week…”
As soon as Yang Wei heard it, he quickly took two steps forward to walk away from us. Angry, Song Jia rolled her eyes at him. She then turned around and saw that I wanted to run too. She took my arm alertly, and winked her beautiful eyes pitifully like a kitten that had been hungry for three days. I could only pretend to be confused: “Yeah? That’s great for you, but why are you telling me this?”
“The clothes are so expensive nowadays, you know? Before I realized it, my wallet was already empty, alas~” Song Jia said while her eyes were staring at the chef’s cooking spoon, “I really want to eat sweet and sour pork, but based on to my current financial situation, I can only eat one bowl of rice at noon every day until I get paid…”
If you want me to buy you a meal just say it. Why are you beating around the bush?
Speaking of spending, Song Jia and Brother Wei were definitely a match. In Brother Wei’s words, he needed to save money on lunch so he could go out to have fun with girls, but this girl was even worse, loving buying clothes than buying lunch.
Elder sister Liu smiled heartily, although Song Jia was not part of the general operation team, she had a very good relationship with us. Everyone regarded her as a little sister, so it was not surprising to us that she wanted to cadge a meal from us. Just like how she usually shared her snacks with us, it was just a way to enhance our relationships.
Carrying the sweet and sour pork that was freshly cooked, the smelly girl was drooling all over the place, “I’m going to find a seat first, hurry up- ah!” As she turned around, her head hit the shoulder of a tall man. If Song Jia didn’t respond quickly enough to take a half step back, she would definitely fall into the man’s arm and be taken advantage of, not to mention that the sweet and sour pork she was carrying would have also fallen to the ground.
There were many windows for serving meals, so people often went to less busy windows to buy meals, moreover, it was not crowded today. However, this man was still standing so close to Song Jia, so obviously, he wanted to take advantage of Song Jia, and Song Jia also knew it clearly. Her little face immediately dropped, “What’s wrong with you?!”
The guy, who wanted to take advantage of her, stretched out his arms, wanting to hold Song Jia slim waist, but failed. A flash of pity appeared in his eyes. The hypocritical smile was immediately replaced by panic when he realized that the beautiful girl in front of him was actually Mo Fei’s personal secretary, “oops, it is you Xiao Song, I’m sorry, sorry.”
This guy definitely saw her beautiful body figure from behind, so he wanted to approach her, but he didn’t expect her to be Song Jia, who was very close to Mo Fei. That was why he panicked.
“Pervert!” Song Jia was young and forthright. Moreover, after staying with Mo Fei for a long time, she was spoiled by her, so her temper would inevitably flare easily. Although there were other people besides her, she still said this to the man, making him feel very embarrassed.
“I just accidentally touched you, is it really necessary to slander me?” The thin and tall man’s face was livid, gnashing his teeth in anger. If Song Jia was not Mo Fei’s secretary, probably he would have already slapped her.
Song Jia was still a girl after all. Naturally, she would be scared when the man’s face turned livid in anger. I quickly took the first two steps forward and smiled, “Jia Jia, what’s wrong? Yo, isn’t this Deputy Team Leader Hong?”
The person who wanted to take advantage of Song Jia, was Hong Tao, the deputy team leader of the project team, who was known as the office pervert, and had been beaten up by me last time.
Song Jia’s courage, which was fading away earlier, was increased tremendously after seeing me stepping forward, “you clearly want to take advantage of me. You are telling me that I can only slander you after you took advantage of me?”
The story of Hong Tao using his position to take advantage of female colleagues in the Investment Department was actually spread by Song Jia, this little nosy parker. So it was not hard to imagine her resentment against Hong Tao, but her accusation this time was a bit far-fetched. After all, Hong Tao did not touch her. Besides, why was she saying that after I stepped forward? This would definitely cause trouble for me. Sure enough, Hong Tao’s burning eyes glared fiercely at the innocent me.
The secretary of the boss is like the little eunuch beside the emperor, so Hong Tao didn’t dare to offend Song Jia. Then naturally, he would want to vent his temper on me, “Chu Nan, it’s you again!”
“Me? What does Deputy team leader Hong mean? Are you accusing me of taking advantage of Song Jia” The bruises caused by my punch on his chin were still visible. Since he already decided to hate me, I also didn’t need to pretend to be a good person. Even if I lowered myself and apologized, he probably would not let it go easily.
“You…” Hong Tao was just a titular deputy team leader. It was because of his uncle Li Qi that he was able to remain in the company. Not knowing what to say to defend himself, it now looked like he was acknowledging the fact that he had indeed planned to take advantage of Song Jia.
Seeing everyone’s face was very strange, his face became even more livid, “you are talking shit!”
“It smells so bad,” I covered my nose and asked Song Jia, “did someone just fart?”
Song Jia covered her pretty nose, smiled, and said: “no one farted, but someone’s breath really stinks.”
Hong Tao was furious, “You…”
“Deputy team leader Hong, you are more or less a leader, how can you be so rude?” Liu Xinlei, supringlingly, stood beside me, rolled her eyes at Song Jia, then frowned, and said to Hong Tao: “what Song Jia said may have been a bit too much, but what did Chu Nan do? Or you think that you can bully my general operation team at will?”
Elder Sister Liu is usually a gentle and low-key person, and she is quite popular in the investment department. Even though several teams under the investment department usually compete with each other, the general operation team was never involved in those competitions. Of course, this is directly related to the role of the general operation team.
As soon as she said it, a lot of people immediately started pointing at Hong Tao. I felt a little embarrassed and secretly complained to Song Jia for not knowing when to stop and getting Elder sister Liu involved.
Hong Tao isn’t a reasonable person. After losing his face, and being lectured by a woman again, he would definitely feel humiliated. I was afraid that he would do something inappropriate after becoming angry, so I quickly blocked Liu Xinlei.
Just then, I heard someone laugh, “Deputy team leader Hong, this is indeed your fault. No matter what it was, you shouldn’t argue with a girl. You should apologize to team leader Liu.”
Everyone looked at the place where the voice came from; it was Zhang Mingjie, the deputy general manager of the marketing department! Behind him, was the leader of the project team, Hong Tao’s distant uncle Li Qi.
Li Qi made a few steps forward with smiles all over his fat face, and said to Liu Xinlei, “team leader Liu, it is me who failed to discipline him properly. Please don’t keep that in mind, let me apologize to you for him.”
Huh? I couldn’t help but felt strange. Since when did those guys become so reasonable? Could it be that the obscure warning Mo Fei gave last time was actually working?
