Chapter 42 - You Have a Special Interest in Du Xiaoxian (1/2)

Before entering the secretary’s office, Shao Boqing opened the door slightly. Through the small crack, he saw that Zhou Ting was watching attentively at the computer screen. He walked over quietly and slapped on the table violently. Zhou Ting cried out in shock. When she found out that it was Shao Boqing, Zhou Ting was so amused that she raised her hand and pretended to hit him. Shao Boqing succeeded in tricking her and laughed out loud, then dodged into the door.

It was very quiet in the president’s office. Gu Nianbin was writing something with his head down. After Shao Boqing approached him, Gu Nianbin said, “As the General Manager, could you please mind your image? Gu Nian’an has complained about you thrice this month. Did you know about that?”

“About what?” Shao Boqing casually sat down into the chair and crossed his legs. “About me harassing his secretary? Come on. His secretary has nothing I want. She’s way no match for Nina in terms of body shape.”

Gu Nianbin ignored him and continued writing quietly with his head down. Shao Boqing snorted and said, “He complained about me! In fact, I also have something to complain about him!”

“What do you want to complain about him?”

“He kept staring at Nina’s breasts during the last meeting. What did he mean? Did he think that he could watch my Nina for free?”

“Tell your Nina to dress herself properly. Then he won’t look at her anymore.”

Shao Boqing chuckled. He suddenly said seriously, “I rejected Hexun’s budget. He was quarreling with me yesterday.”

Gu Nianbin said without any emotion, “You did the right thing.”

“I know that you told him to come to me because you don’t want to have a head-on conflict with him. Otherwise, your father would be in a difficult position. But in the long run, I will become a bad guy in his eyes.”

“Do you think you are a good guy in his eyes now?”

Shao Boqing shook his head and sighed. “He and Gu Nianjing were born by the same mother but their temperament differs significantly. The elder brother has lots of schemes and intrigues in his mind, and stirs things up and down in the company. However, the younger brother is honest and open-minded. Apart from their similar looks, I really can’t tell that they are brothers born by the same mother.”

Gu Nianbin didn’t say anything. He did not look up at Shao Boqing until after finishing what he was busy with. “What did you come to me for?”

“Nothing,” Shao Boqing said, “can’t I just come to say hi?”

Gu Nianbin was silent again. He continued to bury himself in sorting out documents. Shao Boqing sighed and said, “I really don’t know why I chose you back then. You actually can stay silent for half a day without saying a word. I really don’t like your personality.”

Gu Nianbin rolled his eyes at him. “Go back to where you came from!”

“Alright, I’ll go.” Shao Boqing stood up. After taking two steps, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said, “Oh, I saw Du Xiaoxian.”

As expected, Gu Nianbin raised his head, and his indifferent eyes lit up. “Where did you see her?”

“On the road. She… Well, never mind.” Shao Boqing continued to tease Gu Nianbin. “Just keep busy with your work.”

Gu Nianbin didn’t say anything and just stared at Shao Boqing. Shao Boqing had no choice but to come back and sit down again. “You are really a stubborn person. Will it hurt if you beg me for more information?”

“Where did you see her?”

“At the bus stop. She was waiting for the bus under the scorching sun, wearing a big schoolbag. I didn’t bear to see that, so I asked her to get in my car. But she refused. And in the end, the policeman even came over.” Shao Boqing took the traffic ticket out of his pocket and put it on the table with a slap. “I got this because of Du Xiaoxian. Anyway, you have to give me reimbursement!”

Gu Nianbin looked at the traffic ticket and frowned slightly. He looked at Shao Boqing coldly. “Say it clearly, why did the policeman come?”

Shao Boqing dared not tell him the truth. He evaded the crucial details and skipped the part in which he dragged Du Xiaoxian. Instead, he insisted that Du Xiaoxian refused to get onto his car and come to the company. In the end, he also exaggerated the facts and said, “I told her that you would definitely be happy to see her. But she didn’t show me any respect and refused decisively. See? You were so kind to her, but she didn’t care about you at all.” Shao Boqing paused for a moment. After finding that Gu Nianbin did not respond to him, he continued, “In fact, in my opinion, what’s good in Du Xiaoxian that is really worthy of your care? She’s skinny and small. Without a plump body, her hand feel…”

Gu Nianbin raised his eyelids and threw a sharp stare at him. Shao Boqing stopped immediately.

“What do you want to say?” Gu Nianbin asked him.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Although Shao Boqing knew that Gu Nianbin was not happy, he intended to offend him this time. He continued and said, “You have a special interest in Du Xiaoxian!”
