Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 667: Bai Yueguang’s Bad Ending (17)
After Bai Shichu tidied up the documents on her desk, she left work. She finally didn't have to work overtime today, and she also made an appointment with Chi Junru for a midnight snack in the evening, so she was naturally in a good mood.
But her good mood was soon ruined by someone. A male colleague named Li Liju from Project 2 stopped her and said, "Anne, Director Xu An has recently released a new movie. I heard it's very good. I happen to have two tickets. Let's go see it together?"
Li Liju supported Bai Shichu's desk with one hand and put the other hand in his trouser pocket, showing Bai Shichu a "romantic and suave" smile. However, Bai Shichu did not find his smile charming. Instead, it was indescribably vulgar. Maybe it was because he was not good-looking. Others always felt that he was pretentious when looking at his actions.
Li Liju is in his thirties and is only about 1.68 meters tall, the same height as Bai Shichu. However, when Bai Shichu stands next to him, she always appears taller than him. So Li Liju often tells Bai Shichu things like there are health risks for girls wearing high heels, that high heels were originally invented for men, and that girls wearing high heels make them look domineering and difficult to get along with. He tries every means to get Bai Shichu to give up wearing high heels. In fact, it's only because Bai Shichu looks short when wearing high heels.
As soon as Bai Shichu came to the company, he set his eyes on her. No one knew where he got the courage from to think he could pursue Bai Shichu, so every time he would bother Bai Shichu like a fly, making Bai Shichu very annoyed.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry to go home after get off work because I have something to do with my boyfriend. You can find someone else to take a look." Bai Shichu said to him with a wry smile, and as he spoke, he quickly left the office and got into the elevator.
Unexpectedly, Li Liju followed him into the elevator, and did not forget to say to Shi Chu: "Anne, don't be shy, I know you don't have a boyfriend, you just don't have the courage to date me, so you use this excuse to reject me... Don't be nervous, although your position in the company is not as high as mine, I don't discriminate against you, you don't have to worry about giving up the opportunity to be with me because you are not worthy of me, otherwise you will definitely regret it when you go home..."
Bai Shichu couldn't help but roll his eyes. This man who had no self-awareness at all and was more confident than anyone else, could he really not tell whether the girl really rejected him or was just pretending? Was she worried that she was not worthy of him and gave up the chance to be with him? Bai Shichu felt a little sick to her stomach when he heard what he said.
And just because his position is not as high as his, does that mean he has the right to discriminate against people of lower status than him? According to his logic, he should be looked down upon by many people in the company!
Bai Shichu's position was not as high as his simply because she joined the company later. She believed that with her abilities, she would be promoted soon. Would her rejection of him then not be considered as a result of her fear that she was not worthy of him?
"Li Liju, is there something wrong with your comprehension ability? I am really rejecting you. It's not because I'm shy or inferior, but because I don't like you as a person. I feel very uncomfortable when I'm with you. So can you please stay away from me?" Bai Shichu said with a cold face, his rejection was very clear.
But Li Liju was very thick-skinned, and his ability to understand was far different from that of ordinary people. He also failed to grasp the key points. He corrected Bai Shichu calmly: "Anne, don't call me Li Liju, call me Adam. You know Adam, right? He is the legendary first human male. All men in the future are his descendants. What a manly name. Don't call me by my Chinese name in the future. We are in a foreign company, so it is correct to call me by my foreign name..."
The elevator finally reached the first floor as Bai Shichu kept rolling her eyes. Bai Shichu couldn't wait to walk out quickly. Li Liju chased after her with his short legs, shouting, "Anne! Anne! Don't walk so fast, wait for me... It's not gentle and virtuous for a girl to walk so fast..."
Bai Shichu walked faster, thinking to himself that he should buy a car and drive himself, otherwise he would be bothered by annoying people if he walked too slowly after get off work.
As soon as she walked out of the company gate and looked up at the street outside, she saw a tall, perfectly formed young man standing at the company gate. He had deep eyebrows and handsome features. Even though there was no expression on his face, he still attracted the attention of the girls around him.
"Chi Junru? Are you here to pick me up from get off work?" Bai Shichu was really surprised when he saw him. He didn't expect that he could spare some free time to pick him up despite being so busy recently.
As soon as Chi Junru saw Bai Shichu, the indifferent expression on his face softened immediately, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he walked towards her with long legs: "I just happened to be free, so I came here."
"Bai Shichu! You actually have a boyfriend? Is he your boyfriend?" A sharp male voice with an incredulous tone suddenly came from behind him. It was Li Liju. He was so shocked that he even forgot to call Bai Shichu's foreign name and directly called out his Chinese name. Studies have shown that most of the words people say subconsciously when they are emotionally excited are spoken in their native language. Bai Shichu now believes it.
Bai Shichu turned around and saw a mixture of shock, confusion and anger on Li Liju's face. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, he is my boyfriend. I told you I have a boyfriend, but you just don't believe it."
Li Liju looked at the tall, handsome and elegant Chi Junru, and then at the radiant Bai Shichu. No matter how he looked at them, they both looked like a well-matched pair. Where was his place?
But he was still very angry, and with the shame of being outdone by other men, he blurted out: "Why are you playing hard to get with me when you have a boyfriend? Are you trying to have two girlfriends at the same time?"
Bai Shichu's face suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Playing hard to get? Are you daydreaming? I rejected you clearly every time, but you are the one who didn't listen to me and was so self-indulgent. Don't accuse me of two-timing. You are not worthy! You look like this, and you actually think I would have a good impression of you? Pah!"
Li Liju's face flushed red, his fists clenched tightly, and he stared at Bai Shichu with gritted teeth, as if he was about to fight. Chi Junru walked in front of Bai Shichu, shielding her from Li Liju's vicious gaze, and said coldly: "Want to fight? I'll accompany you."
Chi Junru is 1.87 meters tall with a perfect figure. Standing in front of Li Liju, who is less than 1.7 meters tall and thin, she is like a ferocious lion staring at a weak chicken. She is very intimidating. Li Liju's hairs stood up involuntarily and he could not help but take two steps back.
But when he realized his cowardice, he raised his head and shouted, "I'll hit you if you want! Am I afraid of you?"
As soon as Chi Junru raised his fist, Li Liju immediately jumped back two steps.
Chi Junru: ...and you still say you’re not afraid?
