Chapter 111 Does Qin Jixiu really like men?
He was resistant to drinking pure water and hated the bitter taste even more. Shi Rui's presumptuous action did not seem like a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Qin Jixiu's understanding of Shi Rui's "ability" was further improved.
After a few afternoon walks around the shopping malls in the west of the city, it was past closing time when he returned to Zhengfeng. Shi Rui politely walked him to the elevator and parked the car himself.
He still had several important plans to review, and when Qin Jixiu finally checked his watch, it was already 7:30, and he was feeling a bit hungry. He dug out a few diced beef from the small coffee table to satisfy his hunger, then turned around to find that none of the secretaries had left.
He glanced outside and Assistant Gu immediately came knocking on the door.
"Boss Qin, we're having dinner with the new couple tonight. Are you coming?"
There was a head outside working diligently. Qin Jixiu glanced at it and wanted to persuade them to stay away from Shi Rui. He couldn't tell them everything, so he could only try his best to remind them: "I won't go. Go home early after dinner tonight. Girls, you should be more careful when you are out there and don't be fooled by people's words."
Assistant Gu wasn't worried at all: "It's okay, Shi Rui said he would send us home one by one."
That's why it's unsafe. He didn't know how far Shi Rui and "Qiao Lezi" had progressed, but there was definitely no tangible fragrance. Qin Jixiu was really afraid that Shi Rui would overdo it and cheat on his beautiful and capable assistants.
He hesitated again and again, and finally said, "I'll pay the bill when we're almost done, and I'll have someone take you home safely."
"Boss Qin is so considerate! I'll send you the address on WeChat right away." Assistant General Manager Gu was surprised and moved. Boss Qin today was much better than the unapproachable CEO before.
Qin Jixiu laughed twice, the kind of laugh one puts on to maintain a harmonious atmosphere in social situations. He looked down and saw the address Assistant Gu had sent him was for a newly opened barbecue restaurant. They said it was very popular, with many young people hanging out there.
After the others left, he ordered a bowl of plain noodles from a shop he frequented. The owner, who was familiar with him, gave him a generous portion and even personally delivered it. Qin Jixiu asked him to pick out a book. The owner glanced at the bookshelf and grabbed a copy with an orange cover. Qin Jixiu recognized it; it was the "How to Pick Up Girls" book that his grandfather had carefully selected for him.
He waved his hand: "Take it, this one is best for you."
After leisurely eating his noodles and making another overseas call, he figured it was almost time, so he grabbed his car keys and headed out. Passing through the hallway, which was lit with voice-activated lights, Qin Jixiu stood in front of the elevator. His slightly tired face was reflected in the elevator door, and then his phone suddenly rang.
Squid: [Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your hospitality.]

The picture was a group photo of them having dinner. Shi Rui only occupied a small corner, and even his face was not in the picture. The girls were all very smart, using this way to remind him not to forget to keep the appointment, mainly to "pay the bill."
He replied: [I’ll be there soon.]
By the time he arrived at the barbecue restaurant, the four of them had already eaten and drunk their fill. The empty plates on the table had been cleared, leaving only a few pieces of fruit. When they saw him, they waved frantically. Qin Jixiu nodded, standing tall and waiting at the front desk, watching them approach, each holding a half-finished cup of milk tea, chatting and laughing.
Qin Jixiu smelled a strong aroma of barbecue, mixed with different perfumes. Shi Rui followed behind, pretending to be a diligent flower protector in Qin Jixiu's eyes.
As he approached, he handed over a cup of osmanthus oolong: "Sister Gu said you like to drink this."
"Thank you." Qin Jixiu didn't bother to be polite and just reached out to take it.
Shi Rui was holding two cups of milk tea. One was empty, and the other was a delicate pink, a drink the little girl would love. Qin Jixiu thought, Shi Rui really treats everyone equally. Those clueless parents who favor the middle child should learn from him. He pulled out his phone and paid for the meal with a blank expression.
Although Qin Jixiu said he would arrange for someone to take the assistants home, Shi Rui still politely asked if they wanted to take his car. To show his sincerity, Shi Rui pressed the key in his car. A few honks sounded nearby, and Qin Jixiu looked over. It was a Passat, looking like a freshly bought used car. Shi Rui wasn't driving the Porsche he'd worked so hard to con out, so he drove this to work?
Yes, which scammer would be so heartless as to drive a swindled car around the city all day long? He might have sold the car long ago and bought something else, or even spent money on gifts for his love interest in the game.
"No, I've already arranged everything. Go back and organize what Jackie and I talked about this afternoon and make a PPT. I want to see it tomorrow morning." After working overtime, how could he still have time for some intimate moments with someone else? Qin Jixiu didn't believe he had the energy for that.
Assistant Gu instantly recalled the fear he felt when he first entered the workplace and was dominated by PPT.
Shi Rui had no objection. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Can I make a 10-page PPT?"
Wow, you're so talented! Just to go out and look at a store, you have to make a ten-page PowerPoint? Assistant Gu looked at him with admiration and silently took a step back, afraid that if she was too prominent, Boss Qin would notice and assign her some overtime. Being a slave during the day was terrible enough, without being fed hay and whipped at night.
"Whatever," Qin Jixiu said, gesturing to a nearby commercial vehicle with its hazard lights on. The middle-aged driver stepped out and bowed. Assistant Gu, pulling one left and one right, escorted the two young women, who hadn't yet grasped the gravity of the situation, away from the scene.
The business car drove away, and Qin Jixiu also drove away with the cup of milk tea.
Shi Rui stared at the back of the G-Class for a while, then slowly walked over to the side of the car and got in. There was a person sitting in the back seat, and the passing headlights revealed a young man's face. Shi Rui heard a surprised voice: "Wow, did you buy milk tea for me?"
"Buy five and get one free, it's a great deal for you." Shi Rui stuffed it in without even looking back.
The other person was Shi Rui's younger brother, Shi Xi. Shi Xi snorted heavily, took off the hood of his sweatshirt, opened the milk tea and took a big sip.
"Brother, who was that man just now? He's so handsome, even more handsome than you. His waist and legs are so sexy, and it looks like he has pecs. I wonder if they're firm or what they feel like to the touch. Oh, I wish he were my boyfriend..."
For some reason, Shi Rui felt a pang in his heart. He frowned slightly and said, "That's Zhengfeng's CEO. No way."
Shi Xiren leaned against the back of the chair, pulled his arm, raised his hand and swore: "Don't worry, I will never do anything to that scumbag until I forget about him. Is that okay?"
“No.”
"Why?!"
Shi Rui questioned: "How do you know he likes men? What if he is different from you?"
"You don't understand. We gays have a connection! And look at him, he's so neat from head to toe, even his hair looks like it was styled. A guy like him either has a girlfriend or is completely gay. I guarantee you a year's worth of my allowance, he definitely likes men!"
Shi Rui started the car and said absentmindedly, "That's even worse. He's my boss."
"Oh, just say you don't know me. He doesn't know our relationship. When you earn a million as agreed, return to Lincheng to inherit the family business. Who will care if you are my brother? Besides, if I can take down the CEO of Zhengfeng, it will also help our family business. It's like killing three birds with one stone."
Shi Rui was a little confused. He ignored his brother's nonsense and just wondered, does Qin Jixiu really like men?
etc--
Today in the car, Qin Jixiu had unexpectedly asked him if he'd ever been in a relationship. Normally, a male boss wouldn't gossip about a male subordinate's relationship status, but this was an unusual situation...
He couldn't help but lose himself in memories. Qin Jixiu's reaction when they first met was quite strange. He'd transferred him to assistant secretary in the blink of an eye, asked about his hometown and where he lived, inquired about his father's livelihood, and was eager to get him to work. He also forbade other women from approaching him. Especially at noon, when he'd deliberately created opportunities for them to be alone, even when it wasn't necessary. In the afternoon, he'd even taken him out to broaden his horizons. As soon as he finished work, he'd personally come to pay the bill, fearing he'd get mixed up with women and spark a romance with them.
There can only be one explanation for all this.
...What would he do if his guesses were true?
The watch on Shi Rui's wrist once again sounded a tachycardia warning. Wasn't this watch new? What happened today? At the red light ahead, he took off his watch and tossed it aside.
Shi Xi was still waiting for his response when he saw that he was so engrossed in his driving that he ignored him completely. Although it was a bit unfair for his brother to drive this second-hand Passat, his father had given him 100,000 yuan as start-up capital. When Shi Rui made a million yuan, his father would grant him a request.
Shi Xi was curious about what he would ask for. His brother was indifferent to everything. He said anything was fine. He had luxury cars at home, but he wasn't ashamed to drive such a crappy car. He was used to living in a large villa, so he had no complaints about squeezing into a rented apartment. Even when a woman raved about him and was snatched away by his best friend, he didn't blame her for being dishonest. When they got married, he even gave her a valuable gift.
Only the fact that he secretly learned sculpture made Shi Xi feel that he was very courageous.
Unfortunately, after returning to China, Shi Rui's life returned to square one. Shi Xi always felt that if his brother continued to be so indifferent, he would soon become a monk.
Sighing in his heart, Shi Xi lowered his head and boredly clicked on his phone, starting to search for President Zhengfeng. When the search results came out, Shi Xi couldn't help but scream.
"Wow fun!"
"Keep your voice down, I'm driving." Shi Rui was dissatisfied.
Shi Xi was very excited: "Brother, you will never guess what I did!"
Shi Rui said nonchalantly, "Did you pee your pants?"
"What? I'm following Zhengfeng's CEO, Qin Jixiu. Is that Qin Jixiu? He already has over a million followers. Damn it! How did I only just discover this incredible person now?! He even posted a lucky draw video... Oops, it's expired!"
Shi Rui was confused: "What account?"
"It's the software you said was a waste of time and you had to uninstall it."
Shi Rui remembered and was silent for a moment. After a while, he cleared his throat and handed him the phone: "Or you can help me install it again and not uninstall it this time."
Shi Xi was a good person and not only helped him download the app, but also registered an account for him, named "Evil Samoyed", and used the same profile picture that Shi Rui usually used. Then he quickly searched for Qin Jixiu's account and contributed another fan to the handsome and wealthy Mr. Qin.
