The “good deed” was interrupted, and Yan Yincheng's face darkened. Don't think he didn't know; it was that loud - mouthed Daisa again!
Xu Zixi, on the other hand, was clutching his collar and laughing so hard she could hardly stand up. “Brother Cheng, I've told you before that people may come to my office at any time. Daisa and the others called me ten minutes ago and said they were coming to find me. You... You're just so unlucky. Hahaha~”
Her reaction only fueled Yan Yincheng's competitive spirit. He sealed her clever little mouth with his own, only letting her go when she was gasping for breath. Then he turned around and strode away with a victorious air.
Passing by the three women who were standing against the wall like quails outside the door, Yan Yincheng snorted, “If any of you push the door open without permission next time, your salary will be docked for a month!”
“Especially you, Daisa!”
Daisa quickly stood at attention and saluted, “Yes, sir!”
Back in his own office next door, Yan Yincheng sat on his swivel chair and the more he thought about it, the more dissatisfied he felt. So, he summoned Wei Shu.
“At the hot - spring resort before, I gave you a task to figure out a way to deal with Daisa. How's it going?”
Wei Shu was stunned for a moment before he remembered there really was such a thing. That night's experience was really... Cough cough.
He forced a smile and said, “Well, Third Master, on that night at the hot - spring resort, I sent A Wei and A Biao to distract Miss Daisa, but they both failed. In the end, we had the hotel cooperate to stage a water - leakage incident to get her away. I think Miss Daisa's claim that she likes muscle men was probably just a passing remark and shouldn't be taken seriously.”
“So, although you managed to get her away that night, the task actually wasn't completed?” Yan Yincheng said discontentedly. “Is this how you're perfunctory with me? Anyway, if you can't complete this task, you won't get a single cent of your bonus this year.”
Wei Shu panicked. His bonus was a huge sum. He was counting on that bonus to pay off the full price of his house! After that, he wouldn't be a mortgage slave anymore!
“Third Master, you and Miss Xu are already together smoothly. You don't need to care about these unimportant people, do you?”
“What do you mean by that? I won't let my guard down for a single day until I successfully marry her! Do you know that Daisa almost ruined my good deed again just now?”
He remembered that Zixi had said she planned to invite her little sisters to witness the signing of the new engagement agreement. And this day happened to be the day when he'd have his plaster removed. How could he let go of such a commemorative “auspicious day”?
But this little imp Zixi was used to playing hide - and - seek with him. Who knew what tricks she was hiding? So he had to make preparations in advance and strangle all obstacles in the cradle!
And the most vigilant one among them was this woman named Daisa!
After thinking for a while, Yan Yincheng confirmed again, “Both A Wei and A Biao failed?”
Wei Shu replied, “Yes, Third Master.”
“Then in your opinion, which one of A Qiang and A Meng is better - looking and has more solid muscles?”
Wei Shu: “...”
Seeing Yan Yincheng's serious expression, as if he was studying something very important, Wei Shu really began to think and analyze seriously!
“As for looks, A Qiang is more handsome, but A Meng has the best build among the bodyguards.” After a pause, Wei Shu added, “Of course, no one can compare to Third Master.”
Yan Yincheng's mood improved a bit. He said, “Then let both A Qiang and A Meng give it a try. You go and study Daisa's preferences, living habits, and daily routines carefully. Let the two of them go all out and do their best to make Daisa interested in one of them on this day. Whoever manages to win her over in the end, I'll give the vacant duplex apartment in the city center of Fengcheng as an extra bonus this year.”
Wei Shu had been writing furiously in his notebook, but when he heard this reward, his writing hand couldn't help but stop.
The treatment was so good?! An apartment! In the city center! And it was a duplex! He had accompanied Third Master to visit that apartment once. It was bigger and had a better layout than the one they lived in in Haicheng. The most important thing was - it was in the city center! A bustling area! Worth tens of millions!
His small apartment in the out - of - the - way suburb suddenly didn't seem attractive anymore.
Moreover, he still had to pay the mortgage!
Why did he feel a bit envious of A Qiang or A Meng?
“Snap” - Wei Shu closed his notebook and said seriously with a straight face, “Yes, Third Master. I remember. I guarantee I'll complete the task this time!”
Next door, after Yan Yincheng swaggered away, Daisa and the other two women nudged each other and re - entered Xu Zixi's office.
As soon as they entered, they saw Xu Zixi with a blushing face and lips, and her eyes looking misty. It was obvious what had happened just now.
“Tsk tsk tsk, look at her,” Daisa crossed her arms. “She looks like she's eaten a ton of honey. She's exuding the words 'I'm so sweet' all over. I'm even getting sick of it. Right, Yaru?”
After saying that, she nudged Zhou Yaru with her elbow.
As the first person to know about Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng's relationship, Zhou Yaru cleared her throat and said, “Well... It's just okay, isn't it? Isn't this how people in love are? Look at Zhenzhen and Manager Cui. After work, they're like conjoined twins and can't be separated.”
Amidst their banter, Xu Zixi regained her composure. She said to Daisa half - jokingly and half - seriously, “Are you envious? If you are, hurry up and find a boyfriend to experience what it's like to be in love.”
Daisa was really envious. She had never had a proper relationship in her life! Although she often said she liked muscle men, she had never met the right one.
For some reason, a white figure suddenly appeared in her mind. The white shirt, soaked by water, clung tightly to the person's body, and she could see the faintly visible...
Gulp. Daisa couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Xu Zixi across from her didn't notice Daisa's strangeness. She said half - jokingly and half - seriously,
“By the way, Sasa, I remember you said you like muscle men. You weren't interested in A Wei and A Biao at the hot - spring hotel before. Maybe I can introduce A Qiang to you.”
Daisa snapped out of her reverie and asked in confusion, “A Qiang?”
Huang Zhenzhen said, “Judging from the name, he should be one of Mr. Yan's bodyguards, too. But I've never seen him before.”
Xu Zixi said, “He stayed in Fengcheng to handle some affairs for a while. This time when we came back, after finishing his work there, he also returned to Haicheng with us.”
Hearing this, the three immediately abandoned the topic of A Qiang and A Wei and surrounded Xu Zixi, asking her to tell them what had happened in Fengcheng.
Although they already knew the general situation through the Internet, it was still not as vivid and exciting as hearing it from the person involved!
Unable to resist the three gossipy women, Xu Zixi looked at her watch and simply said, “It's hard to explain all this in a short time. How about we find a place to sit down, order a cup of coffee, and chat slowly?”
