Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Nine: Retribution (III)
So that was what had happened.
Xiao Yu took a cookie and threw it into his mouth.
The fragrance of lemon blended perfectly with the sweet cream, spreading its flavorful taste to every taste bud as he chewed and making every bite a pleasure.
The taste reminded him of his feelings in that moment.
It was a little bitter and a little sweet. And, when both were combined, it was what happiness would taste like.
Xiao Yu picked up the files he had arranged in the morning and went to look for the highest authority at YL at the moment – Chu Ge.
Since the day before yesterday, the doctor had pushed aside his work at the hospital and came to YL to be their full-time chairman. Of course, this arrangement was agreed upon implicitly. YL’s core members knew deep in their hearts that Shao Yue still had to be their chairman in name when facing the public. That was why Chu Ge had asked Xiao Yu to cover up for him so as to not raise any suspicion among YL’s employees.
Although all the preparatory work turned out to be unnecessary because Chu Ge knew Shao Yue.
Even without Yan Jin informing him, Shao Yue had guessed long ago that Chu Ge would be taking over. He was very willing to push all the responsibility onto the doctor and had readily made the necessary arrangements beforehand.
He helped Chu Ge come up with a false identity as a distant relative who had come to YL as an intern while Yan Jin was away. Although the declaration was criticised by everyone, it allowed Chu Ge to come and go safely and unnoticed during his stay at YL. Moreover, Shao Yue was a shameless person to begin with who did not care about everyone’s impression of him. The move turned out to be worthwhile.
In the spacious office, Chu Ge sat upright on his seat while he used the computer.
Originally, there was only Shao Yue in this office. With the addition of Chu Ge, it not only became neat and tidy, but it also looked even more spacious than it was before.
Perfect wife material…
Xiao Yu squinted his eyes.
“Fishy? Come here.” Chu Ge saw the designer and automatically moved away from the computer and walked towards the couch.
“Shao Yue isn’t around?” Xiao Yu was quite curious.
“He’s probably at HR to try to get leave, or should I say trying to get leave in order to spend time at HR?” the additional information that Chu Ge added, completely changing the meaning of the sentence.
Xiao Yu gasped and asked, “He’s not into Qin Xi, is he? Although she’s a gorgeous lady…” both of them don’t seem to be compatible at all.
It’s not good to talk behind people’s backs about their love lives, Xiao Yu thought as he quickly shut his mouth.
“It’s probably not her. Shao Yue isn’t a person who would be interested in the quiet type. Hmm… In fact, I’m not too sure who that person is.” Chu Ge pondered as if he were very interested in the topic. He guessed, “Could it be that lady with the very beautiful smile, or that really gorgeous lady with short hair…”
“Hold it, hold it. I’m not that curious to know.” Xiao Yu quickly interrupted, seeing how Chu Ge planned on listing every lady from the HR department.
The doctor gave an embarrassed smile as his expression turned serious, “Any thoughts after seeing that picture?”
“I’m really sorry for creating such big trouble for YL…”
Xiao Yu had come to apologize.
Xiao Yu already knew what these people were up to. He was thankful to have them as his friends and very grateful that they were doing this for him. However, that didn’t mean that he would shamelessly accept their valuable kindness, be immeasurably self-satisfied and not repent for his mistakes.
Which was why…
“I swear I won’t do any strange office play anymore!”
Xiao Yu took a deep bow.
Chu Ge: “……”
Alright, at least this means that their presents did have some effect.
But the development of this matter would also impact Yan Jin’s welfare. Would Yan Jin wipe out the entire team when he came back?
Chu Ge did not dare to gamble on Yan Jin’s character.
Even though Chu Ge was panicking internally, he still put up a stern and calm look. “That’s right, that’s how it should be.”
“I’ll give you this. Take it as my early wedding gift for both of you.
Xiao Yu accepted the gift with both hands and was shocked by the sudden weight. He looked down and saw an expensive looking… first aid box.
He proved himself to be Chu Ge……
Xiao Yu recalled the basic medical knowledge he had learned from Chu Ge and felt a chill down his spine.
Chu Ge sneakily scooted closer and explained, “This is not a normal first aid box. There are some of those things inside so don’t you look down on them. A man is different from a woman when it comes to that aspect. Like for example, do you know that compared to normal…”
