Chu Hongyu was taken aback, and when she turned around, she saw that Ning Bingyu had been standing behind her at some point.
He still had that gentle and refined demeanor, but his aura was so powerful that it was impossible to ignore him.
It was as if the man who had been blocked in front of the sink was just her hallucination.
The heavily made-up minor celebrities froze instantly, exchanging bewildered glances, none daring to utter another word.
The one leading the group, named Lulu, has been in the Hong Kong entertainment industry for some years. She recently played the lead role in a popular drama invested in by Ning's company, so she's quite well-known.
She really knew Ning Bingyu, and she was the one who brought the people with her.
At this point, she could only bite the bullet and awkwardly explain to Ning Bingyu, "Young Master Ning, please don't be angry. My sister and I just wanted to... come and say hello to you, and get to know you..."
Ning Bingyu didn't even glance at her, but casually pulled Chu Hongyu in front of him.
He tapped the ice cream cone by the door lightly with his knuckles: "Can you read? What does it say on it?"
Caught off guard, Chu Hongyu was pulled into his arms by his strong arms, her slender waist caught in his embrace.
Her slender back bumped against his hard chest, and a faint scent of men's cologne mixed with the aroma of cigars entered her nostrils, creating a strange sense of intoxication.
This man is like a black hole; if you get too close, you'll be sucked into his domain!
Chu Hongyu choked for a moment, instinctively wanting to dodge, but... she held back, after all, she was "carrying out a mission to drive out the enemy," and she had to cooperate!
The young stars exchanged bewildered glances. Lulu, steeling herself, stared at the ice cream cone and stammered, "The...the toilet is under repair..."
"So what?" Ning Bingyu narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Are you all blind? Didn't you see me inside with my assistant handling 'personal' matters?"
He deliberately emphasized the word "private," his tone full of sarcasm and warning.
Chu Hongyu felt her cheeks begin to burn. What did she mean by handling "private" matters?
Doing "personal" things in the men's restroom?
He said this on purpose for these women to hear, to make them think that he and she were... doing something inappropriate in the men's restroom!
Damn it! That bastard!
But she couldn't argue back yet, so she could only grit her teeth and bear it, pretending she hadn't heard anything.
The minor celebrities immediately turned pale, filled with shame and indignation.
Their eyes immediately filled with jealousy and resentment as they looked at Chu Hongyu. Why wasn't it them who got to be dragged into the bathroom by the young master to do such inappropriate things?!
It's that shameless woman!
Although they wanted to climb the social ladder, they also knew what kind of person Ning Bingyu was. If they angered him, they could forget about making it in the entertainment industry.
Ning Bingyu casually removed his glasses with one hand, while his other arm remained around Chu Hongyu's waist. He looked down at the minor celebrities and said, "You're so ugly, how dare you come and embarrass yourself in front of me? I don't have a fetish for ugly people!"
He made no attempt to hide the contempt in his peach blossom eyes, utterly shattering the last vestiges of self-esteem of the minor celebrities.
They finally couldn't hold back anymore and ran out of the bathroom crying.
Only after those flamboyant figures disappeared at the end of the corridor did Ning Bingyu release Chu Hongyu, and say in a calm tone—
"From now on, I will assign you two people. Don't give them any face; just have your men kick them out."
After saying that, he turned and went to the sink to wash his hands. He casually draped his black suit jacket over his arm, and his profile looked elegant and charming.
but……
Chu Hongyu glanced at the traffic cone with the sign "Toilet Under Repair" still at the door, then suddenly turned around and slammed the men's restroom door shut.
The sound of the lock clicking shut was exceptionally clear in the quiet space.
She leaned against the door, arms crossed, and looked coldly at Ning Bingyu.
The sound of flowing water stopped abruptly.
Ning Bingyu naturally noticed her movements. While slowly wiping his hands with a tissue, he asked indifferently, "What's wrong? You look like you're about to beat up your boss, acting like you're committing insubordination?"
Chu Hongyu walked straight over and, before he could take the glasses, snatched them in her hand, asking with a half-smile, "Young Master, is it fun to play tricks on me?"
Ning Bingyu is quite nearsighted, and he feels uncomfortable without his glasses. He squinted his almond-shaped eyes slightly and asked, "What is Assistant Chu saying? Do you think my handling of the situation just now was inappropriate?"
"You clearly have plenty of ways to keep those women away from you." Chu Hongyu's voice was cold, like ice shards.
"Why are you going around attracting attention all night?" She was already being very careful with her words, but she still had to remember that he was her boss.
Ning Bingyu didn't answer but asked a question in return, his tone slightly amused: "Otherwise, how can you be sure you're up to the job of a 'personal' assistant? You can't just send any Tom, Dick, or Harry to keep all those beautiful women away, can you?"
Chu Hongyu held back for a moment, but couldn't help but sneer: "Now, Young Master Ning, can I be considered to have passed the assessment? If not, you can choose someone else. I feel that I may not be able to do this job, so why did you insist on choosing me?"
Ning Bingyu looked at her, suddenly smiled, reached out and put his hand on her shoulder and turned her around.
He was incredibly strong, and Chu Hongyu couldn't refuse him at all, so he turned her around to face the mirror.
Ning Bingyu placed one hand on her shoulder from behind and gently cupped her chin with the other, making her look at their current posture in the mirror, and said—
"Look at yourself in the mirror!"
His breath brushed against her ear, sending a shiver down her spine. He said slowly and deliberately, "Your face is so beautiful it's almost domineering, and your figure, waist, and legs are all so commanding, aren't they?"
In the mirror, Chu Hongyu saw herself being held in his arms, their posture so intimate it was startling. She could even feel the heat of his strong chest pressing against her back through his shirt.
But his tone was as if he were evaluating a handy weapon.
When he praised her, including this gesture, it was as if he were holding a gun, admiring it in the mirror, praising her as a good gun, a good weapon, capable of holding the line.
Ning Bingyu continued, "I need a woman by my side who can command respect and persuade others. I'd be captivated by her, and she has to be at least as beautiful as you."
He carefully and gently tucked the stray strands of hair behind her ear, as if coaxing his beloved: "You're not from the Hong Kong government, so you have reservations. You don't aspire to be a superior person in the Hong Kong government, and right now there really isn't anyone more suitable than you."
He smiled gently, released her hand, took a step back, and casually took his glasses back from her hand.
In the mirror, he put his glasses back on, and behind the lenses, his alluring eyes remained both passionate and aloof.
"Assistant Chu, don't make that face. I don't lack women, and I won't mess with my own people. Physical contact like that just now is necessary in public."
He smiled slightly, like a generous and magnanimous boss: "If you do well this month and meet the KPIs, you'll get a 50% raise starting next month."
