180 Shameless and Shamelesser (1/2)
For Ye Shuang, the most important thing during new year was to maintain her female body. Other than that, she needed to deal with many miscellaneous tasks that came with being an agent. For example, sending greeting cards to all the talents in San Lin City and checking their physical test results.
Han Chu once reminded her that the case files for the talents needed to be refreshed every three months and that included a new physical check-up report. For example, for a high-stress job like a rider or boxer, he might be completely healthy when he signed up, but what if he developed high-blood pressure during the job? Would she still send him on cases‽
If he fainted while coming home, that was not much of an issue; delaying the job or causing it to fail would be a bigger problem. Other than managing these talents, she needed to send out greeting cards to ex and potential clients. After all, without constant communication, they might forget about her presence. For example, the group of wives that asked for her mistress-search service or Celebrity Bai, who employed Anthony and the young lady from Jing Hu city.
The remaining group consisted of her personal acquaintances, like the elders at the chess association, Luo Mingxin, Han Chu, Fang Mo, Yao Zhixing, Mo Xiao Xia, and her family. Now that she thought about it, Ye Shuang realized her social connections had broadened spectacularly in the past year. If this was before, the most she would have needed to contact were her university mates and colleagues. Basically, she had only a limited social circle, but now…
”God!” Anthony leaned over to look with a piece of meat that Mother Ye just fried dangling on his lips. He was curious what Ye Shuang was busy with in the living room. His eyes scanned the screen, and the list of addresses startled the golden retriever. The piece of meat almost fell from his jaw. ”Why are there so many addresses‽”
”These are all clients.” Ye Shuang was tired, too. Now she understood why Han Chu warned her about taking low-quality cases. The list was long, and it was a chore to greet them all during holidays. If not for her photographic memory, reconstructing the list would have required a whole day.
”How about I write a program for you?” Anthony sat beside her with his hands on his cheeks. He blinked his pair of large blue eyes cutely. ”Hmm… if you give me a kiss, I'll write you some code. It'll help you repeat the well wishes template for many holidays, and when your computer opens, it'll send them out automatically, searching for targets that needed to be wished that day.”
Ye Shuang smiled faintly. Taking a break from typing, she picked a peanut from the fruit plate and made a shot without looking. Target hit…
The next second, one could hear the groaning of the golden retriever. Then the cute doggie ran into the kitchen to plead for help. ”Auntie! Someone hit me…”
Father Ye, who had been sitting to the side, folded the newspaper without a change in his expression. He sighed as he took off his glasses to wipe them. ”Don't toss stuff at home.”
Other people tossing a peanut might not be painful, but in Ye Shuang's hands, it was nothing less painful than a throwing star.
Father Ye had gotten used to Anthony's personality; the man would subconsciously act cute with Mother Ye when he tried to sneak the food before they were served. Sometimes, he might even give a kiss on the cheek. Even though Anthony was his junior and this was a foreign habit, even Father Ye sometimes had the urge to smack the man.
Little Brother Ye came over to say, ”Sis, Tony has been wearing that cap for about a month already, and I keep feeling it looks so familiar…”
Ye Shuang ignored Little Brother Ye and turned to ask Father Ye, ”It's just a peanut, so he'll be fine, but is Tony really staying for the New Year celebration‽”
”Yes, after all, he has nowhere else to go, and it's sad leaving him alone at his place.” Father Ye put his glasses away and sipped the tea slowly. ”After all, after tomorrow's firecrackers celebration, we're going to visit our friends and relatives. And aren't you going to visit the elders at the chess association on the second day of New Year‽ They might have some children with them…”
Gotta go steal kisses from innocent children again. I wonder if there are kids under three.
Father Ye thought about it. ”If that doesn't work out, you still have your little brother.”
Little Brother Ye's face instantly froze in fear. He took in a deep breath, and the cap that had been stuck in his mind for the past month went out of his mind instantly. At the same time, Ye Shuang turned her head around. She met her brother's terror-filled eyes for three seconds before turning away.
She could work with kids under five, but she really could not make herself kiss that dumb face of Little Brother Ye.
