Chapter 194 Integration

Upon hearing this, Yan Qing quickened his pace, while Xue Mingyue, who was trying to hide her shock by drinking tea, spat out a mouthful of saliva onto Pei Ning's face.

Hearing Zhang Yuanyuan's words, An Jin said irritably, "You brat, what are you thinking?"

She quickened her pace, caught up with the long-legged Yan Qing, put one arm around Yan Qing's slender waist, and coaxed him softly.

"Oh, Qingqing, don't listen to Yuanyuan, she's just a child..."

Yan Qing seemed to be saying something on the second floor, but her voice was too soft for the people on the first floor to hear.

All anyone could hear was An Jin's nonchalant reply: "Okay, but even once isn't enough. I finally managed to find an excuse to come over once, Qingqing, how can you really treat me like this?"

An Jin's next words became even more inappropriate for children.

Three hours later.

An Jin came downstairs with a satisfied look on her face.

She had clearly just taken a shower; she had even changed her clothes.

The three people in the lobby downstairs remained there. They had finished their business and were playing Dou Dizhu (a card game).

Xue Mingyue and Pei Ning were fighting a scoundrel, and the two of them were beating Zhang Yuanyuan, a landlord, until Zhang Yuanyuan was sweating profusely.

Of course, there are stakes involved in playing cards.

The three of them wagered steamed buns; whoever lost would eat one.

After An Jin came down, she asked about the situation. The current situation is that Zhang Yuanyuan is eating two steamed buns per meal, and she will have to eat them until Thursday of this week.

Upon seeing An Jin come down, Zhang Yuanyuan immediately burst into tears.

"Waaaaah."

Zhang Yuanyuan buried her head in An Jin's fragrant and soft embrace.

"Help, Sister An'an! They're bullying me!"

An Jin patted Zhang Yuanyuan's head gently, using the same motion as petting a pet.

"Why are you crying? Get up and I'll avenge you."

Zhang Yuanyuan immediately stopped pretending to cry. She handed the cards in her hand to An Jin, and then started serving her tea and water, and massaging her shoulders and back.

His sycophantic behavior was so outrageous that Xue Mingyue and Pei Ning couldn't stand it anymore.

Zhang Yuanyuan had decent luck with the cards. The reason she couldn't beat these two at Dou Dizhu was twofold: firstly, she couldn't count the cards, and secondly, her previous outrageous remarks had angered Pei Ning.

These two rich kids colluded and treated Zhang Yuanyuan like a Japanese, beating her to death.

To be honest, An Jin's card playing skills are just average.

But as soon as An Jin sat down at the table, Pei Ning immediately stopped playing with Xue Mingyue. He stopped targeting the landlord like a peasant, and refused whatever An Jin offered, and closed whatever Xue Mingyue offered.

After a few rounds of Dou Dizhu, Xue Mingyue was betrayed by Pei Ning and screamed in pain.

"Am I some kind of prank by you young lovers? You're playing me like this just to play cards."

Seeing this, Xue Mingyue simply started frantically robbing landlords.

More than an hour later, when the money transfer was changed and Xue Mingyue was about to lose everything, she chose to run away.

Zhang Yuanyuan leaned on An Jin's shoulder with bright eyes and praised, "An An, you're so amazing."

An Jin smiled, glanced at her, and then at Pei Ning.

"It's because Brother Pei played well."

Pei Ning was thrilled.

He glanced at Zhang Yuanyuan, who was in the way, and said, "Why hasn't your brother come down yet? Go upstairs and take a look."

Zhang Yuanyuan reluctantly got up and went upstairs.

After she left, Pei Ning sat down next to An Jin, and the two kissed as soon as they got close.

An Jin teased, her lips still wet, "Why didn't you come earlier? Why are you coming up here now?"

Pei Ning didn't know why, but he couldn't help himself whenever he got close to An Jin.

He leaned in close, about to say something, when An Jin pushed his head away.

"Get lost, I'm in sage mode now."

The more she acted this way, the more excited Pei Ning became.

The two joked around on the sofa for a while, and Pei Ning finally quieted down after being slapped by An Jin.

When Yan Qing came downstairs, An Jin had already left.

Like a puppy, Zhang Yuanyuan searched for An Jin all over the house as soon as she went downstairs, calling out "An An" all the way from the living room to the kitchen, and then from the kitchen to the lawn.

Hearing the noise, Xue Mingyue came out of the kitchen carrying dishes: "Come and eat!"

Yan Qing walked over, about to help, when Xue Mingyue pressed her down to sit at the dining table.

"It's alright, you can sit down."

Hearing the commotion, Zhang Yuanyuan came over: "Where's An'an?"

Pei Ning came out of the kitchen with bowls and chopsticks in her hands. Facing Zhang Yuanyuan's question, she calmly said, "An'an has gone back."

Zhang Yuanyuan immediately became dejected. She followed Xue Mingyue to the kitchen to bring out the dishes, complaining as she helped.

"What? Why are you leaving so fast? I made her favorite dishes tonight, why didn't you invite her to stay and finish her meal before you left?"

Pei Ning turned around, took the dishes from Zhang Yuanyuan's hands, placed them on the table, and calmly said, "There are spies in the villa over there. An'an has been out for so long, it won't be good if she doesn't go back soon."

After he finished speaking, he ladled out a bowl of soup and gestured for Zhang Yuanyuan to hand it to Yan Qing.

"How about it?"

Yan Qing took the soup, sipped it, and said indifferently, "It's alright."

Xue Mingyue brought out the last dish and placed it on the table.

"That's good. I'm leaving tomorrow. Remember to book my and Zhang Yuanyuan's tickets."

Yan Qing nodded: "It's settled. They'll be on the same shift as us, but their seats won't be next to each other."

Yan Qing has always been reliable in handling these matters, so Xue Mingyue didn't continue talking about it. Instead, she talked about the company's situation while eating.

Everyone at the table was listening attentively, even Zhang Yuanyuan was listening intently.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Pei Ning thanked Xue Mingyue.

Xue Mingyue smiled and said, "There's nothing hard about it."

Yan Qing said, "You seem to have few things to do, but you have a lot to worry about."

"There's only one Lin Yushu in the company right now, and you're already putting in so much effort. If new people come in later, you'll only be more tired."

Pei Ning felt the same way; dealing with people was the most mentally taxing thing.

Seeing their reactions, Xue Mingyue felt a warmth in her heart: "It's nothing."

Yan Qing said softly, "I won't say anything now since you're busy enough. But when the company grows bigger, I'll still need to find you a professional assistant."

Xue Mingyue smiled and said, "I will talk to An'an about this later."

He doesn't need to now; he's really finding it very easy to do things now.

The other two men at the table nodded. Zhang Yuanyuan looked at the three people talking, and for some reason, four words popped into her mind.

The harem is stable.

She shook her head, trying to clear the jumbled thoughts from her mind.

"that..."

Zhang Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment and glanced at Yan Qing: "Brother, I'm also thinking of signing with the company."

Upon hearing this, Xue Mingyue put down her chopsticks and touched Zhang Yuanyuan's forehead with the back of her hand.

"You don't have a fever, so why are you confused?"

Pei Ning also said, "Weren't you broadcasting perfectly fine?"

Are you just bored and want to be exploited by the company?

Zhang Yuanyuan said guiltily, "I'm a streamer too, there's nothing wrong with me wanting to sign with a company, right?"

Xue Mingyue's eyes darted around Zhang Yuanyuan's face.

"We can't decide this. Go ask your sister An'an."

Zhang Yuanyuan: "Just ask."

After finishing her meal, she told An Jin about it.

An Jin asked, completely bewildered, "What are you thinking?"

The two were on the phone, and since there was no one else around, Zhang Yuanyuan told them what was on her mind.

Firstly, because she doesn't have a company, she simply can't manage it all by herself.

Secondly, it's about fitting in. Everyone else is working at the company, and she's the only one not there, which she doesn't want.

An Jin didn't understand Zhang Yuanyuan's thinking, but since Zhang Yuanyuan wanted to, there was no problem with signing it.

The next day, the company's legal department received a message from An Jin and began to draft a contract between Zhang Yuanyuan and the company in accordance with the terms.
