Chapter 33 33 It’s not just me who thinks so, other employees think so too…

Qin Jixiu's mind was in a mess.

His first reaction was that Shi Rui had been oppressed by him for so long that he finally went crazy.

Then he suddenly understood why he pushed Chi Shuang's sister to Shi Rui that day. Shi Rui was not grateful but a little unhappy. It turned out that Shi Rui liked boys.

Although Qin Jixiu always thought that Shi Rui liked men, that was because he mistook Shi Rui for that bastard Ye Lansheng. How could Shi Rui really like men?

Can his father, a tea farmer, his great mother who doesn't know how to make a living but raised him so well, and his younger brother who doesn't seem to be very smart, accept this?

etc--

Shi Rui just said that he wanted to take advantage of him. He had clearly explained it, and the reason sounded reasonable. Why didn't Shi Rui believe it?

Also, if it were any other employee, he would have posted something to curse his boss as a pervert, inquired about his fortune and plotted against him behind his back, or even thought about wearing a fake Tiffany bracelet to try to kill him. How could such a major misunderstanding arise?

Is Shi Rui's train of thought so circuitous?

He seemed to have just said that the employees had also spread rumors that they were having an affair... No, were they all masochists? If he really liked someone, he would want to worship them and torture them like this?

Qin Jixiu raised his leg and kicked Shi Rui's knee lightly.

"Hey, what kind of sitcom are you putting on here?"

After being kicked, Shi Rui maintained his original posture without moving. Why didn't he move? Because according to Qin Jixiu's temper of always finding fault with Qiao, he should have slapped him in the face by now, but Qin Jixiu didn't.

What does this mean?

This means that Qin Jixiu is indulging him and his guesses are all correct!

Shi Rui was secretly delighted and slowly released his hand. He observed Qin Jixiu's expression for a few seconds and found that Qin Jixiu didn't seem to be resisting, but rather thinking. At this time, he was still hesitating?

Shi Rui didn't want to play ambiguous games with Qin Jixiu anymore. He was determined to get Qin Jixiu to show his attitude. Looking into those beautiful eyes, he said, "Boss Qin, did you not hear clearly? I said I am willing to be your secret lover."

No, wait a moment, Qin Jixiu pushed the person away.

"Who told you that I have a habit of finding secret lovers?"

Shi Rui supported himself on the table before he could steady himself. A hint of surprise welled up in his eyes. He glanced at Qin Jixiu's face and said, "If you want to make it public, I have no objection."

If Qin Jixiu didn't feel guilty and really sorry for him, he might have let him stand by the window to see if the northwest wind could wake him up. If not, he could also help by slapping him.

Qin Jixiu swallowed the yin and yang in his mouth with difficulty, and said in a detour: "Please sit down and let's talk."

Shi Rui was reluctant to leave this distance, and kept looking back, and finally sat down on the sofa.

Qin Jixiu straightened his collar, stood up, took out a clean teacup, poured a cup of green tea himself, and handed it to Shi Rui.

Shi Rui subconsciously wanted to stand up and catch it with both hands.

Qin Jixiu pressed his palm downwards, meaning no need to be polite.

Sitting back down, Qin Jixiu took out a blank A4 paper and said seriously, "Let's recall what happened after you arrived at Zhengfeng."

Qin Jixiu wrote a "1" on the paper and then calmly stated, "On the day you started, I came across your resume and thought you were a promising talent, so I asked Minister Sun to hire you."

"No," Shi Rui said immediately, "You obviously transferred me to the CEO's office because you saw me in the elevator and fell in love with me at first sight."

You have a good memory, kid. Qin Jixiu didn't expect him to be so love-brained and hard to fool, so he compromised and said, "That's my mistake, but there's no such thing as love at first sight. I asked Minister Xu to get your information because I saw that you were handsome and energetic."

That’s right, Shi Rui thought, isn’t that still love at first sight?

Shi Rui said, "Oh oh."

Qin Jixiu knew that Earth signs were the type who mistook repetitive words for mature communication and enthusiasm, so he didn't take it personally and continued, "From the moment you arrived, I knew you were capable of handling this important task. But if I were to make an exception and bring you here, people would definitely talk behind your back. I'm letting Gu Qing and the others take a leave of absence to train you and give you a chance to showcase your abilities."

Shi Rui immediately asked back, "You're afraid that others will talk about me behind my back, and you still say you don't care?"

"I care about my reputation." Qin Jixiu emphasized and wrote a few words on the paper.

Shi Rui began to take the initiative: "Then why did you ask the three secretaries not to get close to me?"

Qin Jixiu reacted quickly: "You do look good. I was worried that the three secretaries would be distracted by you, so I reminded them to keep a distance from you. I think this is normal."

"You were jealous because I called them sister. When I was on a business trip, you called me a bastard and slapped me. How do you explain this?" Shi Rui blinked and asked the next question.

Qin Jixiu told him: "You think too much. Homosexuals don't get jealous of women."

"It's hard to say." Shi Rui thought. Anyway, he couldn't stand Qin Jixiu flirting intimately with other women.

At this point, Qin Jixiu had roughly figured out Shi Rui's touching train of thought and was ready to answer: "Let me make a bold guess. You must think that I asked you to work overtime with me so that I could be alone with you, that I arranged for you to be my driver so that I could always have you by my side, that I went on business trips with you so that I could have a sweet time together, that I asked you to deliver medicine in the middle of the night because I deliberately revealed my home address to you, and that I transferred you from the CEO's office because I was afraid that our office romance would be criticized. Am I right?"

Shi Rui looked back at him confidently: "It's not just me who thinks so. Other employees also think so. We all agree. So whose problem is it?"

Qin Jixiu felt guilty again. Oh my god, was this his punishment for not investigating the situation and then taking revenge? He had to run into Shi Rui, a fool with a strange mind that made perfect sense when he thought about it?

No wonder Shi Rui didn't say a word or resist no matter how he bullied him. It turned out that he thought I liked him.

But that wasn't right. Wouldn't most people run as far as they could if their boss tried to take advantage of them? Why was Shi Rui so happy about it? With someone like him, shouldn't he have arrogantly rejected him and declared he didn't care about his dirty money?

Qin Jixiu began to change his strategy. "Even if I have a problem, it's just that my treatment of you was a little different, which caused unnecessary misunderstandings. Shi Rui, you are an outstanding young man. You shouldn't let useless love hinder your progress. I will find an opportunity to clarify the false rumors about us in the company and not embarrass you."

"I'm not embarrassed," Shi Rui said firmly. He couldn't help but wonder if Qin Jixiu had some misunderstanding about his looks, figure, and financial resources. Who would be so desperate to reject someone like him?

Anyone who can get a glance from him is considered to have gained something.

Whenever he kicks someone, he's worried that the other person will feel good about it.

Qin Jixiu choked. This was not what he had imagined. Most people would just climb down the ladders he handed out, not Shi Rui, who would be so serious about it.

Could it be that Shi Rui finally realized that he had been targeted by him before, and planned to use his beauty to seduce him and then dump him so that he could take revenge?

Qin Jixiu stared at the handsome face with determination.

The eyebrows, eye sockets, nose bridge, thin lips, every part is shaped according to his aesthetic taste, as if Nuwa could see into his inner thoughts and specially sculpted such a face to show off her skills.

Qin Jixiu said somewhat weakly, "Don't be impulsive. Putting aside the fact that I didn't mean that, even if I did, you're so young and you should have thought it through carefully. What if I just wanted to have fun? What if I spent a few months with you and then abandoned you? What would you do in the future? Would you be able to get along with your colleagues normally? Would you be able to stay at Zhengfeng?"

Shi Rui said without thinking: "I can."

Qin Jixiu had never met such a person before. He was completely unyielding. He took a deep breath and admitted, "Actually, I misunderstood you before. I was targeting you on purpose."

"I made you work overtime and stay up late, and I ordered you to be my driver and run errands for me. I treated you like a laborer."

"I don't let them have much contact with you because I'm afraid you'll destroy their internal unity."

"When I give you milk tea, it's like giving a whip to an ox or a horse."

"I want you to go on a business trip with me because you have no money, so I deliberately create some financial difficulties for you."

"I made you run laps simply because I saw you having fun and I just didn't like it."

"You were transferred to the R&D department because Wu Min has technical elites on his staff. Your majors are management and sculpture, which are completely incompatible with the R&D department. If you go there, Wu Min will only assign you to do odd jobs."

Shi Rui listened in one ear and out the other. He took the opportunity to say, "Then why did you give me the bag?"

Qin Jixiu paused, then decided to tell the truth: "That's because I suddenly realized that I have misunderstood you all along."

"What do you misunderstand about me?" Shi Rui asked back.

Qin Jixiu's body froze, and he pursed his lips: "I can't reveal this."

Shi Rui raised his neck and said, "Then I don't believe it."

“…”

Seeing Qin Jixiu speechless, Shi Rui struck while the iron was hot and said, "Just now, I almost fell on you. I'm just an ordinary employee, not even a regular employee. Do I have the right to fall on you? If you weren't interested in me, you would have pushed me away the first time. How could I sit here and drink the tea you poured for me?"

You are such a logical genius! Qin Jixiu was almost out of ideas and could only take a sip of the cold green tea. The green tea was bitter and astringent, making him frown.

Shi Rui immediately said, "Do you like someone like Xiao Jia? He's not as good at making tea as I am."

"I don't like Xiao Jia," Qin Jixiu emphasized each word, "I like every subordinate. Is there something wrong with me?"

Shi Rui quickly grasped the flaw in his words and said firmly, "Look, you also admit that you like me, your subordinate."

Qin Jixiu lowered his head instantly and waved his hand at him: "Okay, stop talking."

He wrote down his final conclusion on the paper: This is a stubborn person who is in love, reckless, confident, shameless, and cannot distinguish between good and bad words.
