Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Women’s War
“Why do you want to talk about her? I don’t know her very well,” I tried to stay calm, and this was also a response I want to give to Liusu. After that, I quickly added, “I’m discussing something with your elder sister Cheng, if you don’t have any serious matters, I’m going to hang up.”
“Cheng Liu. . . Elder Sister Cheng? Are you eating lunch with her? !” Chu Yuan’s surprised tone was obviously unpleasant, “Discussing something? What are you discussing?”
In order to make a good impression, Liusu deliberately sat up straight and pulled herself away from me. In fact, she was afraid that Chu Yuan would hear her talking. Therefore, she could not hear what Chu Yuan said at this moment. But an idea suddenly came into my mind and I winked at Liusu and said with a smirk: “We are discussing whether to go out for dinner together or invite her home for dinner.”
Not only Liusu, but Chu Yuan was also taken aback by what I had just said, I was afraid that Liusu would refuse, so I quickly added: “Of course, if we go out to eat, I will take you with us too, Yuan Yuan.”
Sure enough, the words Liusu was about to say went back into her throat. She glared at me fiercely and mouthed, “Sly!”
After mentioning Chu Yuan, Liusu would naturally have no reason to reject me. Otherwise, it would be tantamount to rejecting Chu Yuan. I didn’t deny that I was sly and deliberately created opportunities to be with her, but this sly was purposeful. Firstly, I wanted to explain the misunderstanding that day in front of Chu Yuan and Liusu, so that I could gain Liusu’s forgiveness. Secondly, my little granny Chu Yuan didn’t like Liusu. This was definitely a hidden danger for my future. Therefore, I hoped that through direct interaction, Chu Yuan would learn more about Liusu, and use her own eyes to see if Liusu was a ‘crazy woman’. . .
“No!” Unexpectedly, Chu Yuan didn’t give any face at all, “I asked Dongfang to come home for dinner tonight. . .”
“That’s great,” I was overjoyed when I heard the words, “Then I will invite your elder sister Cheng to have dinner with us at home. What ingredients do you need me to buy? You can send a text message to me later and I will bring it back.”
Dongfang was coming too? What a great opportunity. I could use this opportunity to prove to Liusu that there was nothing going on between me and her!
“But. . . Er. . .” Chu Yuan hesitated for a while, and then reluctantly said: “Fine! The one named Chu! You Have Guts!”
d.a.m.n, girl, was this how you supposed to talk to your elder brother? And also. . . Was your surname not Chu?
I couldn’t help but wipe my nonexistent sweat. This bratty girl. It seemed like the prejudice she has against Liusu was very deep.
. . .
After Chu Yuan interrupted our conversation, Liusu deliberately avoided the question. In addition, Guo Xiang called me suddenly and asked Mo Fei and me to go to the bank to go through some related procedures. So why she avoided me yesterday, I still didn’t know.
On the way to Heng Xiang Company, Mo Fei and I still had a pleasant conversation, and I couldn’t see the slightest abnormality. However, the absence of abnormality itself was the biggest abnormality!
The topics we had revolved around Liusu; from how we met back in school, how we spent time together, and when I started to notice that I liked her and when I confessed to her. . . I always felt that all the questions she asked were trying to approach my bottom line. If it were a little bit closer, it would be the untouchable privacy, and my answer would be bound to involve feelings for her, but if it were a little bit further, the question would be easily brushed off by me.
This kind of cautious feeling was like walking a tightrope, which really made me feel anxious.
Because of my old man, Guo Xiang attached great importance to the investment I brought to his doorstep, and he was handling everything personally, but I could also see that his purpose was not only to create a good impression in front of Mo Fei so that he would be able to build a good relationship with Fengchang, this big company, but he also intentionality praised me a lot in front of Mo Fei.
No wonder my old man said that Guo Xiang was not an ordinary man. He was the kind of person who only sought practicality and disdained to show off. Moreover, he was a very smart guy, and he would always do favors for you without you even noticing it. Therefore, in the process of interacting with him, people would naturally have a relaxed and comfortable feeling.
Being friends with this kind person, a lot of people would say, “He is a worthy friend!”
However, frankly speaking, I admired such people, but I didn’t like them. Just fighting for your own dreams and doing what you like to do may only be regarded as a pursuit but not an ambition. However, the more he lived with this kind of peaceful mindset, the more he appeared to be scheming and calculating.
Regarding the benefits that were within reach and coveted by others, but had nothing to do with his own dreams, he would disdain to even look at them. He was too perfect that people could not see his shortcomings. However, such a guy would always make people feel insecure.
Perhaps, the reason why I really didn’t like Guo Xiang was that he and I were the same kinds of people, but my dreams were far less ambitious than him. After all, I was just an ordinary person who was also very lazy. . .
Returning to the company from the bank, it was almost time to get off work.
When the cat’s away, the mice will play. Song Jia, who took a half-day off in the morning, must have come to the company and knew that Mo Fei had gone out, so she came to the general operation team to chat with Liusu and the other two girls in the general operation team, Qin Lan and Yao Wan’er.
Speaking of those two girls, I was actually not familiar with them.
Qin Lan’s reputation was not very good. Song Jia said that she changed boyfriends more often than she changed underwear, a typical gold-digger type of girl. In terms of the reason why I was not familiar with her, firstly, she was not interested in the guys in the general operation team. Secondly, Granny Cheng didn’t want me to have much contact with her.
As for Yao Wan’er, a typical innocent girl, and extremely shy. She never took the initiative to speak to other people, and she would always blush when the opposite s.e.x tried to talk to her. She was one year younger than me, but she entered the company a year earlier than me.
It was said that she had not graduated from university at the time, and the reason why she was able to get into the company was that, her aunt, Yao Ling, was one of the executives in the company, so she was considered to be a person with a well-connected background.
Because her aunt Yao Ling was also one of Mo Yizhi’s close a.s.sociates, so this shy girl was the first person who was placed inside the investment depart after Mo Fei became the general manager of the investment department, and because of this relationship, her future was also the most promising in the general operation team.
When they saw Mo Fei and I came back, everyone was startled. It was actually quite understandable. Every day at this time, the general operation team basically had nothing to do, all the people were loafing around and waiting for the time to get off work, so when it was seen by the general manager, how could they not be scared?
Mo Fei glanced around it coldly, scaring Qin Lan and Yao Wan’er’s faces to turn red and pale in horror. They all lowered their heads and returned to their desks. In terms of Song Jia, she could not sneak away but stood there awkwardly.
“Ms. . . Ms. Mo . .”
“Jia Jia, what are you talking about?”
To my surprise, Mo Fei did not return to her office, but walked straight towards Song Jia and Liusu.
“You seem to have a lot of fun talking.” Mo Fei gave an ambiguous smile, not revealing her anger.
However, Song Jia has been with Mo Fei for a year, how could she not understand her temper? She was so scared that she pulled over my chair and tried to change the subject, and smiled obsequiously, “Ms. Mo, you have been out all day, you must be very tired, right? Sit down and have a rest. I’ll make you a cup of tea.”
That was my chair. . .
Sure enough, Mo Fei glanced at me, her face flushed, and stared at Song Jia unhappily, “Do you think I am as free as you? Is there too little work for you to do?”
Mo Fei has always been tolerant of Song Jia, but this time she was really angry. Song Jia felt guilty and lowered her head silently. While looking at the ground, her shoulders trembled.
Perhaps, this girl had never been reprimanded by Mo Fei before.
When the colleagues in the general operation team saw that Mo Fei was really angry, they all lowered their heads like an ostrich, fearing that they would be noticed by Ms. Mo. Even Elder sister Liu also didn’t dare to come over to say a few good words for Song Jia.
I was just a small employee in the general operation team, so it was even more inappropriate for me to say anything, not only because Mo Fei was our manager, but it was also because of the recent ‘scandal’ between me and Mo Fei as well.
Everyone knew that Song Jia was very close to us. So if I didn’t help her after she was reprimanded by Mo Fei, it should be able to prove that there was nothing going on between me and Mo Fei, right?
‘So, Jia Jia. I am sorry. . .’
But who would think that Liusu, who was next to me, looked at me, then at Song Jia, and suddenly stood up and said: “Ms. Mo, it’s my fault. It was me who called her over. She didn’t do anything wrong.”
