Chapter 152: Chapter 137: Carefree Sigh, Sighing Carefree_1
Seeing Qi Yan personally take the lead in keeping things lively while making teasing gestures at him, Tang Qing couldn’t help but be both amused and dismayed. Why, since his rebirth, did he always encounter such playful women? Qi Yan, Dou Jiao, even Xu Dan earlier, they were all the same. The most terrifying were those in the Design Department; they dared to say anything.
Could it be because he was too handsome? Well, certainly. This thought made Tang Qing feel gratified.
Of course, he knew the real reason: he carried no airs, was easy-going, and quite young, which made him feel like the boy-next-door to them. Lastly, he was slightly handsome. However, he had no intention to change his status and put on airs of a boss; the path of a domineering CEO didn’t interest him. His future journey was destined to be a lonely one anyway, so he felt it was nice to have a group of people like this around him.
"Want to see.."
The crowd below roared in response, echoing for quite a while. The male employees were the most enthusiastic. Unfortunately, the company was predominantly women, most of whom were in the Design Department, including a significant number of beauties. Moreover, Qi Yan, as the head of the Design Department, was a rarely seen beauty with a strong personality, so these boys naturally had to humour her.
Upon hearing their reactions, Qi Yan laughed gaily, "Haha, alright, then please welcome our Boss Tang to perform a ’passionate’ round of Military Boxing."
The moment these words fell, many faces froze.
Military Boxing?
What the hell was that?
What could be so great about that performance?
Even if it was a ’passionate’ round, it would hardly make a difference.
Anyway, whatever. It would still be great to see this handsome, wealthy young Director perform. What else could they expect?
Seeing that the crowd’s reaction wasn’t very intense, Qi Yan gave a mysterious smile and said, "Hehe, you must have watched Military Boxing before, and even the employees in the Security Department can perform it. But what if Boss Tang performs it shirtless?"
What?
Was Boss Tang going to show off his body?
On hearing this, the crowd immediately perked up. Although Military Boxing didn’t seem interesting, and without some background music many people might even feel embarrassed, the shirtless part was intriguing. Several muscular guys were already mocking Tang Qing in their hearts as being ’nothing but skin and bones’, puffing out their chests, thinking that they were the real men.
However, all the girls were focused on Tang Qing, paying no attention to them.
As for those who were there to enjoy the commotion, they didn’t care about such things. The noise level increased for a moment, with many people whistling. The situation was about to get out of control.
"Boss Tang is so mighty," someone chimed in, adding to the commotion.
"I really want to see Boss Tang’s figure. From the outside, it seems quite good," said a slightly attractive woman.
"That’s just because of his height and bone structure. With all his money, Boss Tang doesn’t look like someone with any physical strength. His muscles must be flabby," said a jealous male colleague dismissively.
"Stop! Don’t insult our Tangtang," the woman suddenly objected.
"Tangtang? What kind of nickname is that? And when did he become yours?" the male colleague asked, sulking.
"When Tangtang was showing off his wealth during his speech."
"..."
Everyone was discussing fervently. Of course, most male employees just wanted to see some entertainment, especially the security staff, who seemed ready for some fun. As for the female employees, they were full of curiosity but did not have high expectations of Tang Qing’s physique; they just found it amusing.
Sun Chao was the only person in the room letting out a cold, mocking smile.
Doubting Tang Qing’s physique?
What a joke.
Sun Chao had seen Tang Qing’s muscles for himself. When he was wrestling with Han Leng once, they had all gotten sweaty and hadn’t worn their shirts. Tang Qing’s muscles had left him green with envy. Although Tang Qing didn’t have bulging muscles like Han Leng, his evenly toned physique was perfect. Looking at it was like admiring a piece of art. Coupled with his height and handsome face, in Sun Chao’s eyes, he was far better than any muscle man or fitness coach. If he became a model, he would certainly be among the highest paid.
Thus, Sun Chao crossed his arms, ready to enjoy the spectacle.
Seeing this, Tang Qing shook his head with a wry smile and stepped forward. Qi Yan, of course, wasn’t trying to embarrass Tang Qing. She hadn’t seen what kind of shape Tang Qing was in, but the first time they had dinner together, Tang Qing had worn a short-sleeved shirt. She hadn’t paid close attention then, but she was certain his abdomen was not flabby. So, she just wanted to tease Tang Qing and have some fun during this Chinese New Year celebration.
Looking at the ’expectant’ eyes below, Tang Qing felt thankful that they weren’t in the time of 4G internet. Now, even 3G didn’t exist, and they were still in the era of 2G. Mobile phone cameras were pitifully low in resolution. Otherwise, he would be facing mobile phones and cameras rather than dozens of pairs of eyes. However, this annual meeting was being videotaped as it was the company’s first annual meeting and they wanted to record it. Tang Qing wondered if he would find his present self ridiculous when he looked back in a few years’ time.
This thought brought a smile to his face.
The performance began.
Tang Qing took off his jacket and handed it to Qi Yan, revealing the long-sleeved shirt underneath. Seeing the serene expression on Qi Yan’s face, Tang Qing gave a snort.
Watch me ’astonish’ the crowd.
Instead of pulling off his shirt as usual, he pulled from the collar for added effect, slowly revealing his abs. Let’s not forget, there were cameras and projection equipment around, which magnified Tang Qing’s silhouette on the screen behind him.
