Chapter 38 - Accepting the Invitation
Wen Xiangsheng's face darkened for a moment on the other end of the phone, but soon turned into a smile. Her voice was quite gentle: "Aye, you misunderstood me. How could I possibly laugh at you? I know you've been upset by the sudden change, but I'm absolutely on your side and thinking about you. I called you out because I wanted to comfort you. Don't misunderstand my good intentions."
"Good intentions? Okay, since you mean well, what I need most right now is peace and quiet. I just want to be alone, so please don't bother me." Shi Feiye didn't believe her nonsense.
But when she looked up, she saw Qin Buzhu mouthing to her: "Promise her."
Shi Feiye was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why Qin Buru asked her to meet Wen Xiangsheng. Wen Xiangsheng's voice continued to be heard from the other end of the phone:
"Aye, don't be hostile to everyone just because you've encountered something unexpected. Not everyone wants to step on you or laugh at you. Even if I can't do anything, I can still chat with you and make you feel better. You've been wronged for so long, do you really have to keep suppressing it?"
In the past, Wen Xiangsheng had always acted like a caring, understanding older sister to Cannon Fodder, telling her everything he needed to know. This was why Cannon Fodder always did whatever she told him to do. Because of this, when Wen Xiangsheng faced Cannon Fodder's cold attitude, she subconsciously thought he was being tsundere.
"Okay, since you've said that, I'll go meet you and see what you have to say." Shi Feiye had already received Qin Bulu's signal and had no choice but to agree. The person on the other end of the phone was very pleased. The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up.
"Why did you ask me to meet her? I already know she's not a good person. Many of the wrong things I did before were caused by her, and I don't need her comfort." Shi Feiye asked after hanging up the phone.
Qin Buzhu put down his chopsticks and said calmly, "Miss Wen has always been a person who never gets up early without profit. She came to you before to try to get information about my movements. Now that you are no longer useful, she came to you again. She must have found something useful in you. If you don't go, she will find another way."
Shi Feiye understood immediately. The subtext was that since he couldn't escape sooner or later, he might as well give the other party a chance to get close to him right from the start. Sure enough, Qin Buzhu's next sentence was:
"At any time, it's better to have some initiative than none at all. And being on guard when you know someone has ill intentions is better than being schemed against without your knowledge."
"Yeah, I understand." It's not that Shi Feiye didn't know this truth, but her previous living environment didn't require her to think so much. She still hadn't fully adapted to her current role, let alone the current environment.
However, Boss Qin is usually a man of few words. Was he teaching her when he suddenly told her all this?
Across from him, Qin Buzhu picked up his chopsticks again and began to eat slowly and leisurely. From Shi Feiye's perspective, this man's eating posture was as elegant as ever, as if he didn't feel at all that anyone was plotting against him.
That's right, plotting against him. As a mere cannon fodder, Shi Feiye didn't think he was worth being plotted against by Wen Xiangsheng. The only person worth plotting against was the big boss Qin Bulu.
