Chapter 690 - Evaluation (2/2)

“Zisheng, you… What are you saying? Don’t… don’t joke about this matter. You’re scaring me.”

“Scared? Why weren’t you scared when you insulted Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xiao earlier? Bai Xia, let me make it clear to you once and for all—I will not put up with your unbearable bossy attitude anymore. From now onwards, we shall part ways, and may our paths never cross again. You can take it like we don’t know each other and do not have a relationship at all,” Tan Zisheng retorted. He had finally lost his patience with her.

Bai Xia pulled Tan Zisheng’s sleeves and pleaded, “Don’t do this to me, Zisheng. You know I can’t live without you. Zisheng…”

“Please, don’t bother me again.”

Tan Zisheng pushed her away mercilessly and looked at Xiao Luo respectfully. “Mr. Xiao, please give me a chance to learn from you,” he said.

“I would love to, but I am just a boss behind the scene. I don’t deal with the running of the company,” Xiao Luo replied, rejecting him outright. He was going off on his honeymoon trip with Su Li, and he had no time to take on a new apprentice. And Bai Xia’s attitude influenced his impression of Tan Zisheng somewhat negatively.

“Mr. Xiao…”

“Go, could you please don’t interrupt our meal?”

Su Li, who had been quiet, suddenly cut off Tan Zisheng. She had had enough of these students who were merely there to seek knowledge.

Tan Zisheng was taken aback and replied, “Ms. Su, I have been observing you, and in my mind, it doesn’t appear that you are associated with Mr. Xiao. This matter is between Mr. Xiao and me, so can you please stay out of it?”

Zhang Dashan laughed and said, “Tan Zisheng, I thought you were smarter than that. You couldn’t even tell the relationship between my brother and lady Su, and it tells me you’re so terrible at observing people. So, I’ll tell you—they are married. If you’re telling lady Su to stay out of this, then you should leave now. Just leave and stop interrupting our happy mealtime.”

Su Canye raised his brows and said, “That’s right, I can’t help but comment. You have a pig of a teammate, but now you are becoming one yourself.” He turned and spoke to Xiao Bei, “Little princess, say it with me—Pig!”

The little girl was fond of her uncle, so she blinked innocently and mimicked him. “Pig!”

Although she was speaking proper Chinese, her pronunciation wasn’t perfect, and she pronounced the word “pig” as “big.” But the tone of her child-like voice made it sound rather cute.

“Not ‘big,’ it’s ‘pig,’ you little piggie!” Su Canye responded, correcting her in his unique way.

“Big, big,” Su Xiaobei cried, trying to correct her pronunciation.

Su Canye cracked up. “Little princess, from whom did you learn to speak like that? How could your pronunciation sound so funny?”

“What’s the problem? She’s just saying that you’re a pig,” Zhang Dashan quipped with a laugh.

“…” Su Canye was speechless.
