As soon as Yu Xiaoduo heard that, he wasn’t having it: “Who said you could call me ‘Duoduo’? Are we that close?”
“Isn’t that what your mother calls you?”
Yu Xiaoduo was shocked: “You want to be my mother too!!!”
Gu Wan’er: “…”
“Tell me, why did you say that kind of thing to my blind date girl yesterday? How am I supposed to show my face in the dating scene from now on? To put it seriously, you’ve ruined the rest of my life.”
Gu Wan’er stood up and personally poured Yu Xiaoduo a cup of tea. Those long, slender legs of hers walked back and forth in front of Yu Xiaoduo, stirring up our buddy Yu’s heartstrings.
“Have some tea and cool down.” Gu Wan’er said softly, her attitude very humble.
Yu Xiaoduo wasn’t an unreasonable person. “Talk. Why did you stab me in the back?”
Gu Wan’er sat down across from Yu Xiaoduo and explained, “I really didn’t mean to. Yesterday, that blind date girl was picking out stockings, so I gave her a suggestion. I just spoke a little too quickly and said that I also wear that kind of stocking often. Before I could explain, the girl called me a pervert and ran off.”
Yu Xiaoduo sucked in a breath. “If that’s not a pervert, then what is?”
“I really didn’t mean to say it like that.”
“Then why didn’t you just tell me last night? Why did you lie to me?”
Gu Wan’er bit her lower lip and whispered, “You did me a huge favor, but I couldn’t help you with yours. So I felt too embarrassed to say anything.”
Seeing that Gu Wan’er had a pretty good attitude about admitting her mistake, Yu Xiaoduo’s anger subsided about halfway. After all, she didn’t do it on purpose. But still, there wasn’t a shred of sincerity.
“Also, why did you shave everything off down there? Making it look like yours?”
Pfft!
Gu Wan’er sprayed out the tea she had just drunk. Her beautiful little face turned bright red in an instant. “I thought I was going to be staying in your body for a while longer, so I…”
“Ha! You tell me not to mess around, but then you go and mess around yourself. How can you be such a hypocrite?”
“It just looked uncomfortable to me.”
Yu Xiaoduo glared hard at Gu Wan’er. She, feeling guilty, looked out the window, a blush also coloring her stunning features.
“Fine. Then let me ask you something else. Yesterday, at the company, what were you doing going into the women’s restroom?” Yu Xiaoduo pressed again.
“I was so worried yesterday that something might happen to you that I got distracted. I just unconsciously walked into the women’s restroom.”
Yu Xiaoduo was stunned. She was worried about me?
Really? Or is she faking it? They say the prettier a girl is, the more she likes to lie.
“Now everyone at the company is saying I’m a pervert. How am I supposed to keep working here? It’s easy for you to not care, since you’ve turned back into General Gu.”
“Double your salary. And double your year-end bonus.”
Whoa. So she’s trying to hit me, Yu Xiaoduo, with money? I, Yu Xiaoduo, am a man of principle. I will not back down.
“Gu Wan’er, do you think this is about money?”
“Triple.”
“My reputation is completely destroyed because of you.”
“Quintuple.”
Yu Xiaoduo said with a completely straight face, “General Gu, as a man, it’s not impossible to withstand the pressure of public opinion. But from now on, I’m going to be single for life. What good is more money then?”
“I can introduce you to someone.” Gu Wan’er said seriously.
Yu Xiaoduo’s eyes immediately lit up. “Really? You’re not trying to trick me again, are you?”
“I, Gu Wan’er, never lie.”
“Heh.”
Gu Wan’er cleared her throat lightly. “Yesterday was a misunderstanding. The person I introduce you to will definitely be better than that blind date girl. She’s like me—long legs, great figure, good family background. It just depends on whether you’ve got the skills.”
“Is that so? Show me a picture.”
“Um, I don’t actually have a picture. But when she comes to Longhai City, I’ll invite you to join us for a meal.”
Deep down, Yu Xiaoduo knew that a girl Gu Wan’er recommended wouldn’t be bad. He was just joking around earlier. He knew his own limitations.
That pretty much wrapped up the interrogation. Gu Wan’er had a good attitude about apologizing, and she used money to soothe his wounded soul. Yu Xiaoduo had suddenly joined the million-yuan-a-year salary club. He could take it or leave it; fame and reputation were just fleeting clouds.
“I’ll let you off the hook this time. I’m going to work. Do whatever you want.” With that, Yu Xiaoduo shoved his hands in his pockets and left.
Watching Yu Xiaoduo leave, Gu Wan’er was a bit stunned. Are you the general manager, or am I? But honestly, she did feel pretty bad about what happened yesterday. Luckily, they had swapped back, so there wouldn’t be any more mix-ups.
At the elevator entrance, Yu Xiaoduo grinned. He might have taken a bit of a loss, but the payoff was pretty good. He’d save up some money next year and trade in his car for a Porsche. Then he’d be taking the ladies for a ride.
Ding. As the elevator doors opened, Yu Xiaoduo froze.
Scarface?
And Bai Ye?
Why is she here???
Today, Bai Ye was wearing a red qipao. She looked beautifully cold and stunning. She was really a sight for sore eyes.
“Move.” Scarface said coldly as he stepped out of the elevator.
This arrogant Scarface. Just wait until I find an opportunity. I’ll take care of you then.
Watching Bai Ye walk past him coldly and indifferently, it was hard to believe this was the same gentle, mature woman from yesterday.
“Look any longer, and I’ll gouge your eyes out.” Scarface warned Yu Xiaoduo coldly, his eyes shining with a fierce light, as if he wasn’t joking at all.
Yu Xiaoduo curled his lip and stepped into the elevator. What are you so cocky about? When I get really mad, I’ll add another scar right across your face.
Back at the Human Resources Department, Zhao Liang came running over excitedly. “Brother Yu, I just saw a top-tier beauty. Her charm is even more… enduring than our General Gu’s. I wonder if her family needs a dog? I want to go sign up.”
“Old Zhao, with your build, you’re better suited to be a pig. Then the beauty could eat you up and you’d become one with her. Wouldn’t that be great?”
“Dang, Brother Yu, that’s quite an understanding!”
Yu Xiaoduo couldn’t take it anymore. This guy was beyond help.
“Yu Xiaoduo, come to my office for a minute.” The department head called out from the side.
Zhao Liang whispered a reminder, “A female coworker filed a complaint about you. They’re probably going to talk to you about it.”
“Let them file. Last time, a female coworker ran into the men’s room, and I didn’t say a word.”
“That’s right. She was probably shocked by your… grandeur, Brother Yu.”
Yu Xiaoduo: “…”
Sure enough, he got a thorough lecturing in the department head’s office. Yu Xiaoduo walked out as if nothing had happened. Back when he was in school, he did plenty of bad things. This was just a drop in the bucket.
In the general manager’s office, Gu Wan’er was talking about her intentions for the company’s future development, as well as some plans she had come up with.
But Bai Ji seemed unusually calm, as if she wasn’t interested in what Gu Wan’er was saying.
Actually, Bai Ji had come today just to chat with Gu Wan’er. She had finally found someone she could talk to. But who knew? Gu Wan’er was completely different from yesterday, just talking about company business the whole time.
“Miss Gu.” Bai Ji said flatly.
“Do you have any opinions, Bai Ye?”
Bai Ji stood up and said indifferently, “I’m not interested in what you want to do with your own company.”
Gu Wan’er furrowed her delicate brows, a bit confused about what Bai Ye meant.
Looking at the Gu Wan’er in front of her, Bai Ji found it hard to connect her with the one from yesterday. “Forget it. My intentions haven’t changed.” With that, Bai Ye headed for the door. Although Gu Wan’er was puzzled, she followed to see her out.
As she stepped out the door, Bai Ji turned back and said flatly, “I much preferred talking to the ‘you’ from yesterday.”
