Xiang Qing felt a bit regretful. "I thought I would get to see you and your girlfriend today. What a pity. President Xue, after your girlfriend’s college entrance exams are over, may I et her?" She was determined to ship this couple to the very end.
"Sure," Xue Yang replied. "Just hope you’re not intimidated."
When she heard him say this, Xiang Qing’s eyes lit up. "Could it be our big boss?"
She should have realized it sooner. The big boss is a high school senior, while Xue Yang is a college freshman. And she had scouted Xue Yang herself, finding him online as a part-ti photo editor. It made sense now. She’d always wondered how a regular part-ti photo editor could beco a part-ti model in such a short period, then a spokesperson, and finally leap directly to the position of Executive Director. That kind of speed was faster than a rocket!
Xiang Qing let her imagination run wild.
The plot must have gone sothing like this: The big boss concealed her identity to be with Xue Yang. To support him, Xue Yang ran out of money for food. Not wanting her to suffer, he used his free ti to look for part-ti work online. Luckily, I spotted him, and he started working at Trendy Apparel.
Later, the big boss found out. But she wasn’t ready to reveal her identity, so she found all sorts of ways to help him in secret. First, she started buying clothes from their own online store and posting reviews with pictures to get our attention. Then, she had us approach Xue Yang to beco the company’s model, and from there, he slowly beca the spokesperson.
Finally, with her college entrance exams looming, the big boss confessed her identity to him and entrusted the company to his care. Ah, isn’t this the perfect coback story of a domineering CEO and his pampered wife? The big boss is the domineering CEO, and President Xue is the pampered wife. Wow! When will I get to see it unfold with my own eyes?
Xiang Qing was already growing impatient.
The starry-eyed look on her face gave Xue Yang the creeps. She was definitely imagining so nonsense again.
"It’s not the big boss."
It’s your big boss’s best friend. Xue Yang thought.
"Huh? It’s not?" Xiang Qing was skeptical. If it wasn’t the big boss, had she been shipping them for nothing? But if that was the case, how could she explain Xue Yang becoming the Executive Director? It must be that the big boss doesn’t want people to know about them yet. Hmm, I know what to do.
She nodded earnestly and said, "Understood."
This ship is set in stone for her.
"?"
What did she think she understood now? He had a bad feeling about whatever was going on in her head. Xue Yang was bewildered.
"President Xue, is there anything I can help you with?"
To be a qualified researcher, one must first infiltrate the inner circle. If I stick close to President Xue every day, I’m confident I’ll get a front-row seat for all the sweet monts.
"Don’t you need to be minding custor service?"
"The new clothes haven’t been listed yet, so I’m free for the next couple of days."
"You have the gall to tell , the Executive Director, that you’re idle? You’re quite bold."
"But I’m here asking you for work, aren’t I? Doesn’t that make up for it?"
"..."
「At the police station.」
The lawyer sent by Trendy Apparel Company had been trying to communicate with Wu iju for two days. However, after speaking once on the first day, she had clamd up completely. The interrogation had reached a critical juncture, but without Wu iju’s cooperation, they couldn’t proceed. What were they to do?
Just as Lawyer Qian was pondering their next move, Wu iju suddenly spoke up. "I want to see Xue Yang."
Lawyer Qian pushed up his glasses. "Miss Wu, the evidence is conclusive. It’s useless to see anyone."
"I’ll only confess if Xue Yang cos. Otherwise, we can just drag this out. I’ve got all the ti in the world."
Wu iju had a point. She was already at the police station; it couldn’t get any worse for her. She really did have all the ti in the world. Lawyer Qian, on the other hand, had no ti to waste on such matters.
He looked at his apprentice beside him. "Zhang, call President Xue."
"Yes, Master."
This wasn’t the first ti Zhang Caide had accompanied his master to an interrogation, but it was the first ti he’d been asked to call a client. Previously, his master had always made those calls himself.
"Master, I don’t have President Xue’s number."
"I’ll give it to you. By the way, Zhang, it turns out President Xue is also a student at your university."
"Really? I wonder which departnt he’s in."
"Not a classmate. He’s a junior."
A junior? With the surna Xue? Could it be soone I know? Well, I’ll find out when I et him.
He took down Xue Yang’s number and imdiately made the call.
At that mont, Xue Yang was in the fashion departnt, directing everyone as they made their final preparations.
"Xiang Qing, since you’re free, you’ll be responsible for getting these manuscripts of Jennifer’s frad. It needs to be done today because they’ll be used tomorrow."
"Yes, President Xue!" Xiang Qing took the manuscripts with great excitent and headed out of the school.
That girl. She’s probably the only one who gets this excited about extra work. Xue Yang shook his head.
He turned his attention back to the venue, which was nearly set up. He was quite satisfied with the overall effect and casually took out his phone to snap a photo. Just as he did, his phone screen lit up with an incoming call from an unknown number.
"President Xue, hello. I am Zhang Caide from Genius Law Firm. My master asked to call you."
Genius Law Firm? Zhang Caide? That na sounds familiar... I feel like I’ve heard it sowhere before.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
"President Xue, Wu iju says she wants to see you."
"See for what?"
"I don’t know. She said that if she doesn’t see you, she won’t confess."
"Alright. I’ll head over."
Perfect. He’d wanted to see Wu iju anyway.
"Shuyu."
Wei Shuyu was cleaning up and imdiately put down what she was doing, jogging over when she heard Xue Yang call her. "President Xue, is there anything?"
"I have to go out for a bit, so I’m leaving you in charge here. Rember to put the clothes away securely before you leave."
"Yes, President Xue."
After giving a few more brief instructions, Xue Yang went to the parking lot and drove to the police station.
Half an hour later, he was standing in front of Wu iju.
In just a single day, Wu iju had been worn down to the point of being unrecognizable. Seeing her now, it was hard to believe she was once the glamorous and successful sales manager for Trendy Apparel Company. At her peak, she had earned nearly one million a month. Faced with such a huge temptation, few people could have resisted.
Seeing Xue Yang arrive, Wu iju first gave a self-deprecating smile. Then, as her eyes landed on his handso face, her expression instantly turned grim. "Xue Yang, you’re here."
Xue Yang nonchalantly sat down across from her. "Yes, I’m here."
"I want to know how you managed to win."
"Let show you a photo."
Xue Yang showed Wu iju the photo he had taken at the university.
"This is..." Wu iju recognized it. It was the street stall she had set up with Ling Qiongqiong. But...
"What are you trying to do?"
