Chapter 33.2: You Are Not Allowed to Touch Her
After that meal, Lei Zhenzi's appearances at Litong
Securities became more frequent.
He often checked in at Ren Yan's office, then headed to the
conference room to chat and flirt with Chu Qianmiao. Ren Yan was worried about
his flirting, but he couldn't get rid of him. So, whenever he arrived, he had
no choice but to move his office to the conference room.
If everyone was working overtime, Lei Zhenzi would lovingly
order takeout, always a premium set meal. After Chu Qianmiao's mouth was sated
by the premium meal, her flattery soared to an unprecedented level, so much so
that Lei Zhenzi was desperate to get her sworn sister.
Ren Yan couldn't stand his frivolous behavior, and on the
day Lei Zhenzi planned to buy an incense burner and incense, he kicked him out.
He started with four words: "Mr. Lei, please go
back."
Lei Zhenzi grumbled and refused to leave.
Ren Yan then changed his words: "Lei Zhenzi, get
out."
Lei Zhenzi was afraid Ren Yan's next four words would be
"Do you want to die?" so he hurried off.
Chu Qianmiao felt a sudden motherly relief at seeing these
two handsome men, each with their own distinct personalities, become friends.
Even Mr. Ren had friends he could fight with, so he wasn't completely
withdrawn.
Over the weekend, Chu Qianmiao was supposed to accompany Gu
Miaoyu back to school; her crush was having a meet-and-greet at her
university's auditorium.
But just as she was about to take Gu Miaoyu out, she
received a call from Qin Qianyu, who said Ren Yan had asked her to work
overtime at Litong, saying they had a company issue they needed to address and
come up with a solution before Monday. Chu Qianmiao couldn't accompany Gu
Miaoyu, and she was worried about her, a directionally challenged woman,
wandering the campus alone. She feared she would die on campus without finding
a place to stay.
So, she called Zhou Shuqi and arranged for him to be Gu
Miaoyu's guide. Once Gu Miaoyu arrived at school, he would be responsible for
meeting her and showing her the way.
Zhou Shuqi happily accepted the job. "Senior, give me a
five-star review after you complete this order! Your review means a lot to
me!" Chu Qianmiao was impressed by this idiot; he really thought he was a
delivery boy.
After making all the arrangements, Chu Qianmiao prepared to
go out for overtime. She bent over at the door to put on her shoes, zipping
them up while gnashing her teeth in anger. "Ren Yan, that bastard, ruined
my weekend by not letting me rest!" After putting on her shoes, she stood
up and shouted to Gu Miaoyu, "Little Daogu, where's our knife? Give it to
me. I'm going to kill this overworked bastard!"
Of course, Gu Miaoyu wouldn't give her the knife, saying,
"If you want to kill someone, go out and buy one yourself. I need our
knife to cut vegetables tonight."
"..."
She stormed out. But after arriving at Litong and seeing
everyone there, including Ren Yan, she actually... spent another happy day.
For a moment, she felt that what she'd yelled at the door
before leaving was a bit of a double-talk...
At noon, Lei Zhenzi also arrived at Litong. Not only was he
there, but he also brought everyone a hearty takeout lunch.
After lunch, Chu Qianmiao received a call from a landline
number. She'd even prepared a line: "I won't buy insurance, I won't buy a
house, I won't take out a mortgage, and I won't enroll my child in
classes." But when the call rang, she heard Gu Miaoyu's voice.
"Why are you calling me from that number?" Chu
Qianmiao, too lazy to leave the conference room, asked Gu Miaoyu from her seat.
Gu Miaoyu told her how unlucky she was. She'd been waiting
for Zhou Shuqi downstairs in the men's dormitory, but instead of him, some
self-satisfied brat had snatched her phone. Unable to contact her junior, she
found a coffee shop and borrowed their phone. She said, rather unfocused and
off-topic, "Shuishui, if you have some time this afternoon, help me look
for used phones online. Without them, I can't contact clients!"
But Chu Qianmiao's focus was on the first half. When she
learned that the landline number traced back to Zhou Shuqi's failure to
promptly address Gu Miaoyu, she flew into a rage.
"Little Daogu, wait for me. Just stand there. I'm going
to call that little bastard Zhou Shuqi!"
As soon as the call connected, she demanded an answer from
Zhou Shuqi in a sinister, subdued voice: "Zhou Shuqi, are you tired of
living?"
Zhou Shuqi groaned, his words rambling as he kept professing
apologies.
"Zhou Shuqi, you stood up my childhood friend, causing
her to fall victim to a pervert. Let me tell you, my childhood friend is the
person I love most in this world. Do you understand what 'most' means? Now,
choose the most tragic way to die, and I'll grant it to you!"
Zhou Shuqi was practically wailing on the other end of the
line, repeating his apologies to his senior sister like a repeater, saying he
was off to see his female professional teacher and had lost track of time. He
also said, "I love you the most, but I hurt the one you love the most. I
know I was wrong. Please let me go. I'm not even dating you yet, and I don't
want to die."
Zhou Shuqi's heartbroken cries were like a tantrum, loud and
pathetic, heard by everyone in the room. Qin Qianyu laughed heartily, slipping
in a cheerful tone, "Qian Miao, you're truly a boy killer!"
Chu Qianmiao couldn't stand the little brat's wailing
anymore and hung up the phone.
When she called the coffee shop number again, the waiter
told her, "The girl just now said she's running out of time and won't wait
for your call. Don't worry, I've already told her the exact location of the
auditorium!"
Chu Qianmiao thanked her profusely.
In the afternoon, Chu Qianmiao browsed for used phones
online. Gu Miaoyu's salary wasn't high, and she was facing the prospect of
being eliminated from the company at the end of the year due to her poor
performance. For now, she could only afford a used phone.
She wanted to buy her a brand new one, but given her
stubborn nature, she definitely couldn't afford it. So, she decided to look for
a used one.
Chu Qianmiao was browsing the web when Lei Zhenzi...
He took the seat next to her.
He was so lazy he leaned against the table, one elbow
resting on it, the back of his hand resting on his jaw. He placed his other
hand on the table, curled his fingers, and flicked it outward. From his palm
popped a nearly new phone, which he flicked towards Chu Qianmiao.
Chu Qianmiao looked at the phone, then turned to look at Lei
Zhenzi, who was perfectly content to meet her with a smile.
"Qianmiao, isn't that a coincidence? I just bought a
new phone in Xidan and came here. What a gift! This old one is for you, your
childhood friend. Don't hesitate! If you don't need it, I'll just throw it
away."
Chu Qianmiao's eyes widened, expressing her disbelief at
such a coincidence. But Lei Zhenzi lazily reached into his shirt pocket and
pulled out a new phone.
Chu Qianmiao thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Lei,
please wait a moment!"
Then she turned back and began typing away on her computer
keyboard. She pulled out her wallet, pulled out a wad of cash, and thrust it
into Lei Zhenzi's hand. "Mr. Lei, I got an estimate for your old phone
online. Take the money, and I'll consider it yours!"
Lei Zhenzi's brows furrowed, his eyes narrowed, a hint of
frost on his cheeks. "Don't be so mean!"
Chu Qianmiao refused to compromise. "Then you should
take your old phone back. I'll buy you something else online."
Lei Zhenzi had never been rejected by a woman between eight
and eighty years old, but this rejection from Chu Qianmiao was so sudden. He
had no experience handling rejection, and for a moment, he didn't know whether
to get angry or accept the money.
Ren Yan, sitting across from him, offered him a choice.
"Old Lei, take the money."
Lei Zhenzi accepted the money, his face brightening again.
"Qian Miao, you're the first girl to reject me! This
feels so new!"
Chu Qianmiao: "..."
She was a little regretful about having just struck a
secondhand deal with this domineering CEO covered in peach blossoms...
Ren Yan called out, halting Lei Zhenzi's flirting: "Old
Lei, come with me to my office. I want to talk to you."
Lei Zhenzi followed him to his office.
