Chapter 309: Chapter 309: More Than Just Acquaintances
Qi Shijie’s face could no longer maintain a calm facade, as even his usually good temper neared the brink of explosion in the face of Ye Xunhuan’s relentless taunts!
"Qi, brother, these days being kept usually involves candles, Trojan horses, and whips, can your delicate skin handle that?" Ye Xunhuan said worriedly. "Don’t die from a single whip!"
Although filled with indescribable rage inside, Qi Shijie maintained the demeanor of a modest gentleman and responded to Ye Xunhuan, "Mr. Ye, you might be mistaken, Qi Shijie hasn’t fallen so low as to live off a woman!"
"I think Qiu Ruo should know this!"
With that, Qi Shijie looked towards Qiu Ruoxi!
Qi Shijie, Qiu Ruoxi’s senior, had graduated from college and was directly admitted to Yale University in the States to pursue his PhD!
He was indeed among the elite of the younger generation, and even while studying domestically, Qi Shijie was a prominent figure!
Now that he has returned after accomplishing his studies, does he need to rely on a woman for a living?
Or rather, do people who graduate from Yale University need to rely on women for a living?
Surely such people would be snapped up instantly wherever they go, any company or group they choose, right?
But before Qiu Ruoxi could speak, Ye Xunhuan interjected, "Brother Qi, you ask such questions, how do you expect our Director Qiu to respond?"
"Don’t just ask our Director Qiu; even if you asked me, I would say, Brother Qi is an elite, how could he possibly rely on a woman for food?" Ye Xunhuan sighed slightly. "If I outright said, Brother Qi, you live off a woman, wouldn’t that be slapping your face?"
Ye Xunhuan sighed again. "I really worry about your intelligence!"
Qi Shijie’s mouth twitched slightly. He had intended to turn the tables, but damn it, Ye Xunhuan slapped him with a silent slap again!
For a moment, Qi Shijie felt his face burning with pain, as if engulfed by blazing fire!
If it weren’t for Qiu Ruoxi being there, Qi Shijie might have already thrown punches at Ye Xunhuan!
"Ye Xunhuan, enough!" Qiu Ruoxi said in a low voice. "Senior Qi is definitely not the person you describe!"
"If you do not have anything else to do, now, immediately go back to work!" Qiu Ruoxi ordered in a commanding tone.
Just then, someone suddenly knocked on the office door from outside.
Hearing the knock, Qiu Ruoxi took a deep breath, then coldly said, "Enter!"
The next moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, revealing a handsome, well-dressed man holding a bouquet of roses as he walked in!
Upon seeing this man, Qiu Ruoxi was slightly startled. Why had Xu Mingzhe come?
Then, Qiu Ruoxi lowered her head to look at Ye Xunhuan. At that moment, it was as if he understood something; this bastard was playing a dangerous game!
And right then, Ye Xunhuan suddenly stood up and said, "Director Qiu, since it’s like this, I’ll go get busy then!"
As soon as the words fell, Ye Xunhuan lifted his feet and walked towards the door. As he passed by Xu Mingzhe, Ye Xunhuan winked at him, then left the place!
Xu Mingzhe was here, whether Ye Xunhuan stayed or not no longer mattered. As for what would happen between Xu Mingzhe and Qi Shijie, that was none of his concern.
All he knew was that, with Xu Mingzhe’s shrewdness, he would definitely not be at a disadvantage. Qi Shijie definitely wasn’t going to have a good time.
Want to chase my wife? I’ll play each of you to death!
Ye Xunhuan hummed a tune, his face excited as he returned to his supervisory department.
Just as Ye Xunhuan arrived back at the supervisory department, Tang Yurou immediately lifted her head and tenderly said, "Why did you come so late today? It’s almost time for lunch!"
"Timed it just right!" Ye Xunhuan smiled and said, "This way I can have a free lunch!"
"Director Mei came looking for you earlier..."
"I’ve already met her!"
"Oh!" Tang Yurou nodded, "Ye Xunhuan, do you have time today?"
"What’s up?"
"My parents want to invite you over for dinner."
"Is it just for dinner, or to see their future son-in-law?" Ye Xunhuan chuckled mischievously, his gaze beginning to wander over Tang Yurou’s figure.
Although this young lady had spent quite some time with Ye Xunhuan, she had not been influenced by his bad habits at all and remained the same as before!
Very shy and bashful!
Even though Ye Xunhuan liked Tang Yurou’s demeanor, he was also somewhat worried. With him around, Tang Yurou wouldn’t face any issues, but what if he was to leave?
Given this girl’s personality, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.
It seemed that he needed to find an opportunity to properly ’train’ her!
After fooling around with Tang Yurou for a while, Xu Mingzhe suddenly arrived at the supervision department, politely knocking before walking in.
When Ye Xunhuan saw Xu Mingzhe, a flash of surprise crossed his face, wondering what he was doing here.
"Brother Xu, what brings you here?" Ye Xunhuan greeted him as if he had seen a family member, his face instantly filled with smiles.
After Xu Mingzhe glanced at Tang Yurou, a look of amazement flashed through his eyes; he was clearly struck by her gentle, jade-like demeanor.
Ye Xunhuan caught the subtle change in Xu Mingzhe’s expression and sneered inwardly, then said, "Yu Rou, this is Brother Xu Mingzhe, the one I often tell you about!"
"Brother Xu, this is my girlfriend Tang Yurou!"
Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s introduction, Xu Mingzhe realized he had been a bit forward, giving an awkward smile and said apologetically, "Miss Tang, I was a bit presumptuous just now; I hope you won’t hold it against me!"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan refer to her as his girlfriend, a look of shyness crossed Tang Yurou’s face!
"It’s okay, Brother Xu!"
"Well, well, Brother Ye, hiding a beauty in the golden house, huh? And you didn’t even tell me; were you afraid I’d set sights on your girlfriend?" Xu Mingzhe joked, "You can rest assured, Brother, even if I’m no gentleman, I would never covet my friend’s woman!"
Xu Mingzhe knew his lapse hadn’t escaped Ye Xunhuan’s notice, so he decided it was better to clarify his stance then.
It was better to avoid any unnecessary trouble, especially since he still needed Ye Xunhuan’s help!
"Listen to what Brother Xu is saying, making me feel utterly ashamed!"
"Brother Ye, come on, I’ll take you and your girlfriend out to dinner!"
"Brother Xu, we should pass; we have a rule here that employees can’t leave for meals unless they are going out for business!"
"That’s really a pity, I’ll definitely take you and your girlfriend out to dinner next time!"
"Brother Xu, how are things going?"
Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s question, Xu Mingzhe burst out laughing, "Brother Ye, I really owe you one this time!"
"I couldn’t believe that bastard actually came back!"
"Brother Xu, you know him?"
"Not only do I know him, we also don’t get along at all!"
