Wei Xuelian and Han Shuying were surprised to find, upon coming out of the back room, that Bai Xiaosheng was sitting on the floor with the property management guy.
The two were arm in arm, whispering to each other.
Bai Xiaosheng seemed to be saying something, and the property management guy nodded like a chicken pecking at grains, his expression alternating between animated and excited.
As if he had just heard some profound truth about life.
The two women exchanged a skeptical glance.
What was Bai Xiaosheng up to?
Intuition told them that Bai Xiaosheng was scamming someone.
Wei Xuelian had witnessed Bai Xiaosheng’s “tactics” against Ai Wen, and although Han Shuying hadn’t seen them, Bai Xiaosheng’s cunning in the game had also left her with a deep impression.
However, it had only been a few minutes; how could the property management guy seem as if he had been brainwashed?
“Ahem!” Each woman coughed once, eyeing them with amusement.
The property management guy jumped, his eyes slightly panicked.
Bai Xiaosheng, on the other hand, was nonchalant, even managing a calm smile at them, showing excellent psychological quality.
“Miss Han, have you finished all the forms?”
The property management guy stood up, even actively helping Bai Xiaosheng to his feet, his attitude remarkably respectful.
“Yes, you can take them.”
Han Shuying looked at him, then at Bai Xiaosheng, trying to spot a clue.
“Then I won’t disturb you any longer,” said the property management guy, his gaze evasive as he casually flipped through the stack of forms, as if to cover something up.
“What were you two talking about that was so lively?
Share it with me too,” Han Shuying smiled at him.
“Yeah, I want to hear it too,” Wei Xuelian expressed her interest as well.
Bai Xiaosheng cleared his throat.
The property management guy quickly shook his head, “We weren’t talking about anything?”
“Really?”
“Oh, right, I need to take these forms back immediately.
I’ve imposed on you long enough, so I’ll take my leave!” The property management guy hastily made his departure, and at the doorway, he turned to give Bai Xiaosheng a grateful smile.
“Bro, you’re busy; I’ll close the door for you!”
In the moment the property management guy closed the door, his eyes clearly held a sly glint.
Wei Xuelian and Han Shuying looked at each other, their gazes falling on Bai Xiaosheng.
“Look at that, what kind of property management is this, they don’t have their heads screwed on right!” Bai Xiaosheng grumbled.
“What exactly did you indoctrinate him with?” Han Shuying still wasn’t satisfied and pressed on.
“Knowledge!” Bai Xiaosheng said with a serious face.
Wei Xuelian and Han Shuying wore equally serious expressions of disbelief.
“If he actually implements the precious knowledge I’ve imparted,” Bai Xiaosheng glanced toward the door, looking sentimental, “then he’s probably doomed!”
“Alright, alright, enough with the jokes, get on and help us move stuff,” Wei Xuelian said with a smile.
More moving!
Bai Xiaosheng suddenly felt a wave of weakness and excessive annoyance that he let the property management escape.
Thus, he busied himself for two hours under the command of the two women, moving tables, cabinets, first the living room, then the bedroom, until he was utterly exhausted.
The much-anticipated noon finally arrived.
Bai Xiaosheng had never looked forward to lunchtime so much.
I have to eat a big meal!
Bai Xiaosheng was determined to make Han Shuying pay the price.
But then Han Shuying’s phone suddenly rang.
She answered the phone with one hand while gathering her waterfall-like black hair with the other, “Hello, Captain.
Oh?
Is that so!
Alright, I’ll be right there!”
There seemed to be some urgent matter on the phone, and Han Shuying rushed into the back room; when she came out, the maid outfit had been taken off, replaced by ordinary clothes.
“Xuelian, I’m so sorry, but I have to go to the company for a bit, I can’t take you out for lunch today, my apologies!”
Han Shuying was very apologetic as she spoke to Wei Xuelian.
“No problem, business is important, you go ahead,” Wei Xuelian was remarkably considerate.
There’s a connection!
This meal, shouldn’t it be on me?
I did the most work…
Bai Xiaosheng opened his mouth, ready to protest.
“How about this, come with me, just join us, and we’ll treat you to a big meal,” Han Shuying, noticing Bai Xiaosheng’s discontent, half-jokingly said to him.
“Forget it, I’ll remember you owe me this meal,” Bai Xiaosheng said, waving his hand weakly.
“Pfft, then you remember that,” Han Shuying pursed her lips.
The three of them left Han Shuying’s place, she locked the door, and rushed towards the elevator with hurried steps.
Actually, it’s good that she’s gone; I can have some alone time with Wei Xuelian.
Bai Xiaosheng thought this to himself and felt quite happy.
But before he could speak up, Wei Xuelian’s phone rang too.
“You’re kidding me, you’ve got something too?” Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help saying.
“I don’t have this number saved,” Wei Xuelian glanced at her phone, “I’ll answer it, it might be sales or something.”
Bai Xiaosheng felt a bit relieved hearing this.
“May I ask who’s speaking?” Wei Xuelian answered the call, and within seconds her eyes lit up, “A job interview?
Today, at one in the afternoon, for a training lecturer position?
Sure!”
One “sure” made Bai Xiaosheng’s hair stand on end.
Interviews on a Saturday, what kind of company does that?
A training company!
Isn’t that the same as those from Zhengdong Province, that fatso?
I hate training companies!
Bai Xiaosheng grumbled to himself.
“I’m really sorry, I have to go to an interview,” Wei Xuelian hung up the phone, appearing a bit embarrassed, her eyes filled with apology, “It’s quite far; I have to head there now.”
“You should still have a bite to eat first,” Bai Xiaosheng still held onto hope.
“No need, I’m fine.
I’ve been on a diet recently, I can skip lunch.
See you later!” Wei Xuelian apologized with a smile and rushed off to her own place.
Bai Xiaosheng was dumbfounded.
He looked over there, Han Shuying had just gotten on the elevator, and here Wei Xuelian had just closed her door.
He had been the laborer all morning, and this was his sad recompense.
With a deflated spirit, Bai Xiaosheng returned to his own home gloomily.
Famished, he spotted on the table a doughnut that had only been bitten a few times and some cold soy milk.
His breakfast…
“So hungry,” Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but moan as he reached for the doughnut, opened his mouth wide, and was about to bite down fiercely.
Then, a ringtone sounded, this time, from his own phone.
Man, these calls all come at once!
Bai Xiaosheng glanced at the number.
Unrecognized!
“If you’re selling something, you’re dead,” Bai Xiaosheng muttered threateningly and pressed the answer button, bringing the phone to his ear.
“Hello?” On the other end of the phone was a woman’s voice, which sounded rather familiar, “Is this Bai Xiaosheng?”
“It’s me, you…
are Supervisor Wu!” Bai Xiaosheng finally recognized the voice.
It was Wu Qiuyan’s voice!
“Do you have time now?
I’d like to invite you for a cup of coffee,” Wu Qiuyan’s voice was calm.
She wants to invite me for coffee?
Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes flickered slightly, then he smiled, “Alright, name the place.”
“North Main Street, Island Coffee, I’ll be waiting for you here.”
Wu Qiuyan gave the address.
“Great, I’ll be right there,” Bai Xiaosheng agreed.
After hanging up, Bai Xiaosheng pondered.
A trap?
Hardly.
But she definitely wants to pry some information from me, coincidentally, so do I!
Bai Xiaosheng smiled.
This cup of coffee seems rather interesting!
