Chapter 216: Venomous Boss 3
After hearing 003's words, Xu Qiuqiu recalled bumping into Ah-Chu at the hospital yesterday. He seemed to be holding a medical record. She was too anxious to run away at the time and didn't pay attention to what the medical record contained. She didn't expect that Ah-Chu would have a mental illness in this world.
But he seemed perfectly normal yesterday, so it shouldn't be the kind of disease that 003 mentioned that can cause harm, right?
She didn't have time to think much, drank a glass of milk, changed her clothes, and hurried to work.
After successfully clocking in, she went to her workstation and sat down. Ye Qin, who was next to her, leaned over and gossiped, "A Qiu, did you hear? The head office sent a handsome guy to be our manager today!"
Although she wasn't interested, Xu Qiuqiu still cooperated and said, "Really?"
Upon receiving a response, Ye Qin began to chatter on and on, "Yes, the new manager is not only handsome, but he's also said to be single. I just don't know what his personality is like, but no matter how I look at it, he's much better than the previous greasy middle-aged male manager. At least I can have something to look at in the future."
"Yes, that's right." Xu Qiuqiu listened patiently, occasionally adding a few words of agreement.
After Ye Qin finished gossiping, she started working seriously again.
Xu Qiuqiu was organizing documents at her computer desk. After typing for a while, she suddenly felt thirsty, so she picked up her cup and went to the tea room to get some water.
"You really showed up."
The sudden sound startled Xu Qiuqiu.
She almost dropped the cup.
She turned to look at the person who had come in. He was wearing a bespoke shirt paired with light-colored suit trousers, and his slender, almond-shaped eyes were captivating and alluring, seemingly filled with a myriad of emotions.
Xu Qiuqiu's heart raced as Yan Chen stared at her.
He only glanced at her briefly, and her heart started pounding.
Yan Chen found it strange that she wasn't saying anything. Just yesterday she had kissed him so passionately. His gaze fell on the name tag she wore on her chest, and he saw her name clearly.
Before Xu Qiuqiu could decide what to say, she heard footsteps not far away. She hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked out to the tea room without saying anything.
She started to have doubts. Could he be the new manager?
She had barely sat down at her workstation when the entire department was notified to go to the conference room.
After everyone had arrived, the company's representative began to introduce Yan Xu as the new manager.
Yan Chen's gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally towards Xu Qiuqiu's position.
Xu Qiuqiu didn't expect that what she just thought about casually would actually be true.
Sitting next to her, Ye Qin blushed and whispered in her ear, "A Qiu, the manager is so handsome! He looks like he's looking at me."
Ye Qin thought Xu Qiuqiu would agree with her, but instead she heard her cold tone, "You're overthinking it."
Ye Qin's girlish heart was severely damaged, and she suddenly didn't want to talk to Chu Qiu anymore.
Ye Qin's infatuation made Xu Qiuqiu realize that her Ah-Chu had always been a dazzling young man.
She looked up at him; he seemed perfectly normal, with no sign of illness whatsoever.
Noticing Xu Qiuqiu's gaze, Yan Chen felt a little better. It turned out that she still cared about him, but there were too many people in the tea room just now, so she was too embarrassed to come closer.
[Ding! The female lead's happiness level has increased by 10%. Her current happiness level is 10%.]
Hearing the announcement, Xu Qiuqiu was a little confused. She had only glanced at him, so why had her happiness level increased?
Should she take a few more glances?
She watched for a long time, until the meeting ended, but her happiness level didn't increase at all.
She no longer understands the logic behind increasing happiness points; sometimes they increase inexplicably.
After organizing documents all day, Xu Qiuqiu felt her eyes were sore.
Soon it was time to leave work, and most of her colleagues had left. She stood up and unconsciously looked toward the closed office door.
She was hesitant to approach him, unsure of his personality, and afraid that being too forward would be inappropriate.
Thinking of this, she looked away, walked out of the studio, and went to the corridor to wait for the elevator.
While waiting for the elevator, she felt like someone was watching her, but she looked around and didn't find anything.
She realized she was overthinking things, suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and entered the elevator.
When he could no longer see her, Yan Chen looked away, walked back to the office building, and stopped in front of her desk.
He reached out and gently stroked the keyboard she had touched, a subtle, unreadable light flashing in his eyes.
As soon as Xu Qiuqiu arrived downstairs at the company, she received a call from Chu's mother.
She swiped to answer the phone, and Chu's mother's voice came through, "A-Qiu, how have you been lately?"
"fine."
"Are you off work now? How about we grab a bite and chat?"
"good."
After asking for the address, Xu Qiuqiu took a taxi to the restaurant at that address.
The restaurant was brightly lit with an elegant orange glow, but she couldn't find Chu's mother anywhere.
Just as she was about to call Chu's mother to ask about the situation, a greasy-looking man walked over and said, "You're the one who came to meet me on a blind date today, right?"
Seeing the man openly looking her up and down, Xu Qiuqiu felt disgusted. "No, you've mistaken me for someone else."
"How could that be? You're Aunt Chu Yan's daughter, aren't you?" The man picked up his phone, pointed to the photo on it, and said, "I've seen your photo before."
After saying that, he looked you up and down again and chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be even more handsome in person than in photos."
Xu Qiuqiu didn't believe it, so she called Chu's mother, and it turned out that it really was a blind date arranged for her.
Because no one knew that the original female lead was dating the male lead, Chu's mother thought that she had never been in a relationship since birth. She was also worried that no one would want her daughter after she turned twenty-five. Knowing that she would not go, she came up with this plan.
Out of politeness, Xu Qiuqiu stayed and sat opposite the man, looking at the man who said he was twenty-seven but actually looked like he was in his thirties.
She was speechless. She was only twenty-one years old in this world. If she hadn't started school early, she would still be a senior in college.
I'm already being pressured to get married as soon as I enter the workforce.
“Since it’s a blind date, let’s be honest.” The man’s swollen face revealed what he thought was a handsome smile. “I have two houses, a car, and a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan. Although I smoke and drink, men always need to socialize, so you have to understand me.”
Xu Qiuqiu's gaze fell on the man's beer belly; he drank every day and his belly was almost bigger than a pregnant woman's.
Perhaps feeling that he was very superior, the man, seeing that Xu Qiuqiu was silent, assumed that she had never seen such superior conditions as his, and became even more enthusiastic, continuing, "I am actually a very traditional man. How many boyfriends have you had? Are you still a virgin? By the way, after we get married, I don't want you to work. You can just stay at home, clean, do housework, and take care of the children."
Xu Qiuqiu wanted to splash the glass of water in front of him on his face. What a jerk!
"I don't want women to be too wasteful, so I'll manage the money after we get married. Oh, and you have to be filial to my parents..." The man rambled on for a while before finally stopping. "That's about all my requirements."
The man looked at Xu Qiuqiu and asked, "What are your requirements?"
