“Ah!”
“What are you doing?!”
Qiao Yingzi quickly swatted away Lin Fan's wandering hand.
She was driving well and didn’t want to be disturbed by Lin Fan, especially without any warning; it was truly terrifying.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have worn shorts; choosing long pants would have spared her fair legs from provoking Lin Fan's wild side.
Lin Fan, with a cheeky grin, retracted his hand and casually explained, “Sorry, your legs are just too fair; I couldn’t help myself.”
Qiao Yingzi was utterly speechless: “You should find a girlfriend; I’m your assistant, not your toy.”
Lin Fan sniffed his hand, “It smells pretty good!”
Qiao Yingzi frowned; how creepy!
Putting his hand down, Lin Fan chuckled, “Looking for a girlfriend? What’s the point of that?”
Qiao Yingzi felt her jaw drop; what kind of logic was that!
What’s the point, how to use it, didn’t he have any self-awareness?
Did he just want to have fun without responsibility? Just like how he treated Su Mi?
“Hmph! Scumbag.”
Regardless of whether he was her boss, Qiao Yingzi couldn’t help but criticize him.
Lin Fan wasn’t angry; he leaned back, reclined his seat, and propped his feet up on the dashboard.
“You’re right; I am a scumbag, and what’s wrong with being a scumbag?”
Qiao Yingzi grimaced; he made being a scumbag sound so refreshing.
So he wanted to mold her into someone like Su Mi?
Both a secretary and a toy?
Qiao Yingzi felt the need to clarify, “Hey! What exactly is your relationship with Sister Su Mi?”
“She’s my secretary, and I’m her boss; it’s just that simple.”
“You think I’m a fool? I saw everything that day.”
“Oh! So Su Mi was hungry and wanted to eat a cone, that’s why I invited her.”
Qiao Yingzi felt like she could strangle Lin Fan; he was lying without a hint of shame.
Although Su Mi didn’t seem like a particularly honest woman, she believed Su Mi wasn’t that easy.
“Hmph! You’re so shameless.”
“A person without shame is invincible.”
“So you want to train me to be like Sister Su Mi, working hard and serving you without complaints?”
Lin Fan glanced at Qiao Yingzi and smirked, “Serving me means loving your work; working hard leads to a better life. Is there a problem with that?”
“Hmph! Don’t even think about it; I’m a person with principles.”
“Really? I just love dragging good women into the mud.”
“I’m not a woman.”
“God created girls, and I can create women.”
Qiao Yingzi rolled her eyes; Lin Fan was the most shameless person she had ever met, and he was so handsome too—what a waste of that face.
They bickered all the way to Zhou Yiming’s company. After parking the car and getting out, Qiao Yingzi reminded him not to overthink things, or she would resign.
Lin Fan wasn’t worried at all; girls always believed their principles were unbreakable, but once their bottom line was crossed, they would sink into it.
Little did they know, the most principle-less group in the world was women.
Standing in front of Zhou Yiming’s office, he pushed the door open without knocking.
Zhou Yiming was startled, “Damn it, why are you here? Can’t you knock?”
“What are you afraid of? Afraid of being caught doing something in the office?”
“Stop talking nonsense... Who does that? I’m not without a girlfriend.”
“Maybe your Huizi isn’t enough?”
Zhou Yiming’s eyes widened; he was in a May-December romance with Huizi.
Huizi was only in her early twenties; how could she not be enough?
In fact, it was he who felt a bit overwhelmed.
Glancing at Qiao Yingzi behind Lin Fan, Zhou Yiming cleared his throat, feeling a bit awkward to continue joking: “Alright, stop messing around. What do you want?”
Lin Fan stepped aside to let Qiao Yingzi speak: “Yingzi has a classmate who wants to be a streamer. I’ve already interviewed him, and he can report to the streaming company tomorrow. Can you arrange that?”
“You came all this way for just this? I’ll call Old Zhang in a bit.”
Old Zhang was the head of the streaming company. Zhou Yiming usually couldn’t stay at the streaming company every day, so he hired a professional manager to run it.
“Alright, also, just so you know, it’s a male streamer.”
Zhou Yiming looked at Qiao Yingzi, then at Lin Fan: “A guy? Didn’t you say you only wanted female streamers, and they had to be fair-skinned, beautiful, with long legs, and a big butt?”
“Cough! This is an exception; Yingzi’s classmate sings well and has a bright future.”
“Got it.”
After arranging Fang Yifan’s matter, Lin Fan let Qiao Yingzi leave first; the next part was his private time with Zhou Yiming.
Once Qiao Yingzi was out, Lin Fan didn’t hold back with Zhou Yiming. He plopped down on his desk and raised an eyebrow at him: “Boss Zhou, are you going to confess, or should I ask?”
Zhou Yiming looked confused: “I didn’t do anything... Who the hell does that in the office? If I had supplies, I’d give them all to Huizi.”
“What? Getting old and running out of steam?”
“Bullshit, I’m still going strong; partying every night is no problem.”
“Alright, listening to you brag gives me a headache. I’m not asking if you’ve been doing anything; I’m asking about Huizi.”
“Huizi? What about her?”
“You don’t know?”
“What do I know?”
It seemed he really didn’t know.
Lin Fan then revealed the matter of Huizi’s snitching.
Zhou Yiming was quite surprised; he genuinely didn’t know. If he had known, he definitely wouldn’t have allowed Huizi to do that.
He knew very well who Lin Shaojing was; if he found out Lin Fan was living with Jian Ai and had done everything, Lin Fan would be in deep trouble.
Zhou Yiming stood up, scrutinizing Lin Fan, making him feel uneasy.
“What’s wrong? Want to compare? I guarantee you won’t measure up.”
“Get lost, get lost... I’m just curious; you weren’t dealt with by Lin Shaojing?”
“Of course not; what do you think? You almost got yourself in trouble, eight people at a table.”
Zhou Yiming laughed heartily, knowing Lin Shaojing would never let Lin Fan off easily.
However, he was curious about how Lin Shaojing planned to handle this matter.
“So is Jian Ai moving out of your place?”
“Moving out? Why should she move?”
“You’re just bragging! Do you think Lin Shaojing can accept Jian Ai still living at your place?”
“Don’t change the subject... If it weren’t for your girlfriend causing trouble, would Lin Shaojing know? Come on! How should we settle this?”
Zhou Yiming looked pained; on one side was his girlfriend, and on the other was his good buddy, caught in the middle.
But he could guess that Huizi must have snitched for Zhang Mingming’s sake.
Zhou Yiming quickly shifted the blame to Zhang Mingming: “I think Huizi might have been instigated by Zhang Mingming, so this can’t be blamed on Huizi.”
“Right, right, right! It’s all Zhang Mingming’s fault. But how did she find out about Lin Shaojing?”
Zhou Yiming rolled his eyes; it was clear he wasn’t easily fooled.
“Alright, no matter what, she’s still your sister-in-law. What do you want?”
“I want to settle the score with my sister-in-law and make her remember this, so I came today to give you a heads-up.”
“No way? Are you serious?”
“Of course! If I don’t make my sister-in-law remember this, who knows what kind of trouble she’ll stir up in the future.”
“Can you not go after Huizi?”
“No.”
“Fine, fine, fine... But I remind you, don’t go too far! Just say a few words; if you make Huizi angry, I’ll have to comfort her.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll reason with her.”
“Remember what you said.” Zhou Yiming paused before speaking again: “But are you really not interested in Zhang Mingming? I can tell she genuinely wants to be with you.”
“That’s true, but she wants to walk into the hall of marriage with me. Isn’t that terrifying? Don’t talk about me; do you want to marry Huizi?”
Zhou Yiming shook his head vigorously.
“Then that’s settled. Alright, I won’t disturb you, Boss Zhou. I’m off to find your girlfriend.”
“Damn it, pay attention and don’t go too far.”
Lin Fan turned around, waved his hand, and strode away.
