Looking at the phone that had already been hung up, Su Yu smiled.
The shady path you long for is covered in white frost every day.
If you can’t convince a woman with words, then’sleep-vince’ her.
After handling these trivial matters, Su Yu continued his day’s work.
It wasn’t a lie to say he was busy; the previous Su Yu had been in a state of constant busyness every day.
If Qin Shiya hadn’t suddenly called to ask him out, he might have stayed that busy indefinitely.
Meanwhile, Qin Shiya also sent a message to her current boss expressing her desire to resign.
Just as Qin Shiya lay down to rest for a while, a phone call came in.
Qin Shiya thought Su Yu had something else to say, so she hurriedly got up and grabbed the phone to answer.
However, when she saw the call wasn’t from Su Yu, but from her boss… her former boss, she frowned with some impatience.
At the thought of how her boss usually looked at her with lecherous eyes, Qin Shiya felt a wave of nausea.
But considering this was their last conversation, Qin Shiya hesitated for a moment before answering.
As soon as the call connected, a roar came from the other side.
“Qin Shiya, are you trying to revolt?! You’ve been absent for three days straight and I didn’t say anything, and now you’re telling me you want to resign? Impossible!”
Fortunately, Qin Shiya had expected this and held the phone further away in advance.
Faced with his words, Qin Shiya couldn’t help but laugh in her heart.
“Didn’t say anything? You think I don’t know you were just waiting for me to go to the company so you could punish me all at once? Were you also planning to say that as long as I slept with you once, you wouldn’t punish me? Ptooey! Why don’t you find a mirror and see if you’re even worthy?”
“I…”
“I what ‘I’?”
“You…”
“You what ‘you’?”
“Cao…”
“Cao what ‘Cao’? If you’re that desperate, go find a wild dog; it might actually be interested in you.”
After her outburst, Qin Shiya felt comfortable all over; simple profanity really was the ultimate enjoyment.
The middle-aged man on the other side was so enraged by Qin Shiya’s verbal lashing that his eyes were spitting fire and his face was beet red; his whole head was overheating.
“Qin Shiya, do you think you can just work when you want and quit when you don’t? You want to quit? Fine, get ready to pay the breach of contract penalty!”
After saying that, the middle-aged man calmed down.
He knew Qin Shiya was an orphan with very poor family conditions, so he was certain that as soon as she heard about the penalty, she would obediently come back to work.
It was precisely because Qin Shiya was an orphan that the middle-aged man felt she should be an easy woman to manipulate.
“Isn’t it just a penalty? I’ll pay it. Once I’ve left, I’m going to report every single thing I can about your company. You think you can look at me with those lecherous eyes and still try to control me? In your next life!”
With those words, Qin Shiya hung up the phone directly.
She lay on her large bed, panting.
Whether it was because things had been too repressed at Su Yu’s place or something else, Qin Shiya only felt that she was truly satisfied right now.
Only after Qin Shiya gradually calmed down did she start to feel a bit of lingering fear.
Now that she had given her boss a piece of her mind, would he try to trip her up when she went to the company tomorrow to pick up her things?
Thinking of this, Qin Shiya’s first thought was to seek help from Su Yu.
But after she picked up her phone, her hand stopped on the chat page with Su Yu.
The logic of the female-oriented novel world kicked in; Qin Shiya felt that Su Yu had already helped her too much.
Did she really have to trouble him with such a simple matter?
After hesitating for a long time, Qin Shiya ultimately decided not to disturb Su Yu.
After all, these were her own things, and she didn’t believe her former boss would do anything to her in the company in front of so many people.
With that thought, Qin Shiya put down her phone, and her vision gradually blurred.
As her breathing stabilized, she slowly drifted off to sleep.
Time passed in the blink of an eye to the afternoon.
Su Yu had just finished negotiating a major collaboration.
As he was preparing to drive back to the company, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
“Lin Wanqing?”
Su Yu watched Lin Wanqing, who was sitting alone in a cafe not far away, looking conflicted about something.
However, this had nothing to do with him, so Su Yu started the rolls-royce, preparing to head back.
Su Yu had a driver at home, but he didn’t want to put his life in someone else’s hands, so he had always driven himself.
Just as Su Yu started the car, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Su Yu took out his phone and saw the caller ID was Lin Wanqing.
He cast his gaze toward the cafe not far away once more.
At this moment, Lin Wanqing was psyching herself up while waiting for the call to connect.
Su Yu shook his head and then answered the call.
“Something the matter?”
Su Yu’s tone was indifferent, but in Lin Wanqing’s ears, it made her feel very uncomfortable.
“Um… are you free right now?”
Su Yu looked at the time on his phone and then nodded.
“Yes.”
Hearing this, Lin Wanqing instantly became excited.
“That’s great. Then, can I treat you to a cup of coffee right now?”
Afraid Su Yu would refuse, Lin Wanqing hurriedly spoke again.
“I just want to thank you for saving me yesterday, and also to apologize to you because of Bai Mo’s matter.”
Su Yu rejected Lin Wanqing without the slightest hesitation.
“I said, if it wasn’t your doing, you don’t need to apologize.”
After saying that, Su Yu intended to hang up.
Lin Wanqing, as if sensing this, hurriedly spoke.
“Wait a minute, I also want to report our work progress to you. This is a work matter; you wouldn’t refuse me, right?”
Upon hearing this, Su Yu hesitated for a moment but decided to go over after all.
In his memories of his past life, the original plot only mentioned that this chip was amazing, but the book never actually described what it specifically looked like.
“Wait for me a moment, I’ll be there soon.”
With that, Su Yu hung up the phone.
Lin Wanqing was momentarily stunned as she looked at the disconnected call, because she hadn’t given Su Yu the location yet.
She opened the chat app, found Su Yu’s name, and clicked in.
There was very little chat content between the two, and it was basically all about work.
Lin Wanqing stared blankly at the last ‘Mhm’ Su Yu had sent her.
It took her a while to realize she needed to send Su Yu the location.
But before she could send it, a figure walked up to her.
Lin Wanqing looked up and saw a cold yet handsome face appear before her.
“Su Yu? How did you get here? I haven’t sent you the loca—”
Suddenly, Lin Wanqing seemed to think of something and covered her mouth, looking at Su Yu in disbelief.
“You couldn’t be…”
Lin Wanqing wanted to ask if he was stalking her, but when she saw Su Yu’s cold, handsome face, she dismissed the idea.
“You couldn’t be telepathic with me, could you?”
