After coming back from Dongchuan City, Qin Chao’s face was indeed a lot thicker. If it can be stretched to cover the entire city, it could definitely withstand the powerful intercontinental ballistic missile.
To flirt with Shi Xin, he did not even bat his eyes.
“So you want to inquire about manager Li.” Shi Xin was also not a newly graduate young girl; She has seen many kinds of men in her work. Particularly, as a beautiful girl, she has become rather immune to other people flirting with her.
“In the end, you are still interested in manager Li. Let me tell you, you won’t stand a chance. Even the great manager Zhang fiercely chased her to no avail.”
“Fiercely chased?” Qin Chao raised his eyebrows, “What concept is this?”
“99 roses in a day!” Shi Xin’s eyes began to shine, “So many roses….That’s so romantic. Moreover, what manager Zhang said was especially touching; He said to manager Li, as long as you marry me, I will send you one hundred roses. Without you, my life can never be 100 percent perfect.”
“Em, isn’t this the famous “romantic (The previous romantic is in Chinese, while this time, it’s a loanword – luomandike)?” Qin Chao blinked his eyes, Sure enough, being “romantic” is a rich man’s thing. In the past, I have to eat instant noodles for a long time, just to be able to save money to buy roses for my girlfriend….
However, when he thought about it, those days were bitter yet sweet to him.
If Yang Shanshan did not leave me, what would we look like now?
“I have no intention to chase her.” Qin Chao righteously said as he explained to Shi Xin, “I just want to know about my boss, to know her likes and dislikes, so that I can perform well working under her.”
“Since that is the case, I will tell you about it!” Shi Xin immediately proposed a condition, “However, you have to invite me out to a dinner.”
“No problem, a beauty like you can eat anything! Abalone, lobster, I can’t afford them.”
“Pfft!” Shi Xin could not help laugh out loud, “Please don’t say anymore.”
“Em, you can just not order them.” Qin Chao explained, touching his nose
“Bah, cheapskate.” Shi Xin rolled her beautiful eyes and said, “Actually, manager Li is a pitiful person.”
“A pitiful person?” Qin Chao blinked his eyes, “How come I didn’t see it….”
“Don’t interrupt me!” Shi Xin gave him a supercilious look, which very much enjoyed by Qin Chao. Hehe, I just want you to look at me because your eyes are beautiful.
Qin Chao thought for a moment and continued to listen to Shi Xin.
“At 23 years old, manager Li married her boyfriend from the University. However, sad news came in; On the first day of their marriage, her boyfriend fell ill and died.”
“Wow, so tragic….” Qin Chao can’t help but exclaim, This is truly tragic.
“Yes, moreover, I heard that….He died because of STD….”
“What?” Qin Chao was stunned; He immediately asked, “Then should manager Li also….”
“No.” Shi Xin shook her head, “Manager Li is a very traditional person, she should not have done anything with her boyfriend. They later found out that her boyfriend has had several affairs.”
“So it’s like this….” Qin Chao thought that this was something out of a novel. “It seems like manager Li is indeed very pitiful….”
“This is not even the most pitiful thing!” Shi Xin added, “The most pitiful thing is, manager Li still loves that dead man, she considers herself to be his family’s daughter-in-law, so she always takes care of his father.”
“Gee, such a virtuous wife….” Qin Chao immediately said, “If I can marry such a wife, even if I die, it’s worth it.”
Shi Xin rolled her eyes, “Can you not interrupt my story?”
“Ok, ok, I am not going to interrupt. Little Xinxin, go on.”
“Humph!” Shi Xin then went on to say, “But her father-in-law has a problem, and that is gambling addiction. He always takes manager Li’s monthly salary to play.”
“Gambling addiction?” Qin Chao could not help but interrupt, “This old man is too much….”
“Yes, we always advise manager Li to leave that old man. But manager Li is too soft-hearted, she said the old man only has gambling addiction because of the pain of losing a child. Actually, I personally hope manager Zhang can conquer manager Li’s heart and rescue her from that bottomless pit they called family.”
“Gee, in a word, manager Zhang is a prince in your (plural) eyes, right?”
“Of course, all the office girls regard him as their prince charming.” Shi Xin has a lot of gossip materials; She continued, “This manager Zhang is thirty years old, and has married once. I heard that his wife ran away with a foreigner. This manager Zhang is very good; He is rich, handsome, and a gentleman.”
“Yes, to women, he is indeed a gentleman.” Qin Chao expressed his agreement, “But to men, gee….It makes people speechless.”
“Okay, okay, don’t take it to heart.” Shi Xin counseled, “After all, we are all in the same company, so we need to live in harmony.”
“Then, little Xinxin, this Zhang Chusong, is he also your prince charming?” Qin Chao teased Shi Xin.
“Bah, I am not looking for a boyfriend!” Shi Xin suddenly solemnly said, raising her small fist and spiritedly saying, “I want to be this new era’s independent woman. Even without a man, I can still live a happy life!”
“Gee, I never thought….” Qin Chao said with a smile, “Our little Xinxin is still a bachelorette. However, if you don’t like men, I have a friend that I can recommend to you.”
“Friend? What friend?” Shi Xin blinked her eyes and asked; She was curious.
“A women. Moreover, she is a Lala.” Lala is a slang for lesbian. Shi Xin naturally understood this word.
“Screw you. Be more serious would you.” Shi Xin rolled her eyes several times, “Even though I am not married yet, my orientation is straight. Moreover, I don’t hate having male friends, normal interaction is fine with me.”
Qin Chao wanted to add, that includes normal f*cking, right? But he refrained from doing that, for fear that if he said these words Shi Xin would directly kill him on the spot.
“Then little Xinxin, why don’t we f*ck….Em, I mean go out on a date?”
“Bah, office romance is forbidden here, you want me to get fired!” Shi Xin gave Qin Chao a glare.
“Office romance is forbidden?” Qin Chao felt strange, “Why don’t I see it! Isn’t your manager Zhang in hot pursuit of my boss?”
“That’s not the same!” Shi Xin said, “They are but boss’ right-hand people. And we are just regular staff, so they can easily dismiss us!”
“That’s unfair….” Qin Chao rolled his eyes and flirted again, “Little Xinxin, director Chen is my brother, if we become a couple, he certainly won’t object.”
“Pei!” Shi Xin scolded, “Aren’t you that Miss Long’s fiance? Just take a good care of your big miss, what are you teasing me for!?”
“Who told you to be beautiful, I couldn’t help but be attracted to you!” Qin Chao’s shameless skill was displayed to the extreme.
“Who said I am a beauty….” Shi Xin blushed and said, “Manager Li is the beauty here.”
“She is an ice-cold woman….” Qin Chao emotionally said, “The first time I saw her, she already made me deflated, looks like I will have a hard time in the future.”
“She is just cold on the outside, but soft in the inside.” Shi Xin cautioned, “As long as you work well, manager Li will definitely appreciate you.”
“How about I ask director Chen to put me as your assistant?” Qin Chao moved his eyebrows up and down as he looked at Shi Xin.
“Go to hell, I am just a front desk staff, how could I have an assistant!” Shi Xin gave Qin Chao another supercilious look, which already cannot be counted how many it was.
“I can help you rub your shoulder, massage your legs or something.” Qin Chao recommended.
“Give me a break!” Shi Xin declined again and again, “I can’t afford that, you better go find manager Li.”
“I am still waiting for my uniform.” Qin Chao shrugged his shoulders. He was just joking. If he really went on to become Shi Xin’s assistant, Su Ji would definitely bring a knife and hack him to death.
He just wanted to work, not to pick up girls. Even if Li Xue was difficult to work with, he had to bite the bullet.
At this time, Alice walked over, bringing him a new set of uniform.
“This is the newest set, why don’t you take a look.”
Alice said and threw Qin Chao a wink. Although she was also a beauty, based on her previous behavior, Qin Chao could not help feel cold.
He politely laughed a little, took the uniform and went to the bathroom to change his clothes.
This staff uniform was divided into two parts, a white shirt, and black trousers.
Overall, it was good. He put them on and looked in front of the mirror. Although it was a standard suit, on him, he felt that it was neither fish nor fowl.
Am I really just a rogue?
Qin Chao looked at himself in the mirror and pinched his face with his hands. He wanted it to look like a cold-faced white collar worker.
Unfortunately, no matter what he did, his eyes still exuded an aura of wildness.
Qin Chao then remembered the gold-rimmed glasses inside his spatial ring. If he wore that thing, he would definitely look well-mannered. But, he thought wearing that thing would make him look not like himself.
After thinking about it, Qin Chao gave up that idea. After putting his original clothes inside his ring, he walked out of the toilet.
“Yo, not bad!” Seeing Qin Chao walked out of the toilet, Shi Xin’s eyes lit up, “But still not much different than before.”
“I think so too.” Qin Chao walked over to the front desk and looked at Shi Xin, “Do you think I look a bit gentle?”
“I don’t think so….” Shi Xin shook her head, “I think you still have your rogue look….”
“No way, Shi Xin, you’re crazy.” The nearby Alice pushed her colleague hand and busily said to Qin Chao, “After brother Qin changed his clothes, he looks more elegant. I feel that he’s like a CEO of a company, so handsome. Brother Qin, why don’t we go out for a meal tonight?”
“Haha, good, but little Xinxin must come too, it’s my treat.”
Qin Chao really wanted to have good relationships with his colleagues. Especially a good relation with the front desk, which can benefit him in the future.
“You two go ahead, I can’t go out.” Shi Xin curled her lips, “I don’t want to be the unwanted third guest.”
“What third guest.” Qin Chao interrupted, “This is just socializing between colleagues….”
Just as he finished, the telephone on the front desk suddenly rang.
Shi Xin picked up the phone, spoke a few words and then said to Qin Chao.
“You need to work first, manager Li is looking for you.”
