Tang Xin stood at the door, her smile pure and sweet.
Opening the door to see a man and a woman, the woman was dressed in a cheongsam and was stunning, as if I had seen her somewhere before.
As for the man…
he looked average, but why did he seem so surprised?
“Do you…
know me?” Tang Xin asked curiously.
Wu Jie nodded repeatedly, “I’ve seen your live broadcasts, of course I know you.”
“Oh my gosh!
I’ve actually met a fan!” Tang Xin immediately reached out for a handshake.
Her fingers were slender and jade-like, warm to the touch.
And her looks were beyond reproach!
However, compared to Tang Xiao, Tang Xin in front of me was even more youthful and vibrant, and that figure…
Ahem!
Lin Wan apologized with a smile, “Sorry you two, I have classes tonight.
If this beauty wants to see the room, then please come in quickly!”
“Yeah yeah, and handsome, we’ll chat later!” Tang Xin smiled sweetly and immediately followed Lin Wan into the house.
Standing at the door, Wu Jie listened for a while.
“Now only the second bedroom is available, fifteen hundred a month, is that okay?”
“Of course that’s fine, as long as there’s no power outage or internet interruption!”
“So are you working?
You look to me like a college student!”
“I…
I’m a freelancer, doing live broadcasts at home.
If you
Muttering to himself, his fingers flew across the keyboard, and he quickly sent out a tingling message.
Ding!
Back at Tang Xiao’s home in Luling International Elevator Apartments.
Lying in the bathtub with a face mask on, Tang Xiao reached out to unlock her phone upon hearing the notification and shockingly sat up straight after a glance.
Splash!
As ripples spread across the water, Tang Xiao felt her lovely face burn even through the moisturizing mask.
“Dear, what are you up to?
Did you have a good dinner?
Don’t work too hard!”
Thankfully it was a text.
If Wu Jie had sent a voice message, Tang Xiao feared she might’ve developed a tub-full of goosebumps.
But then again, she reminded herself that they were collaborating by pretending to be a couple!
After pondering for a moment, Tang Xiao lay back down and quickly replied:
“I’m feeling down, just had some fruit salad, now soaking in a bath!”
No sooner had the message been sent than Wu Jie immediately sent a video call request.
“Damn it!
This jerk!”
Tang Xiao almost reflexively answered the call, but fortunately was quick enough to set her phone on the washbasin beside her before accepting the call.
The screen lit up, but Wu Jie’s face wasn’t visible.
Phew!
Tang Xiao let out a sigh of relief, her worries had been for nothing.
Wu Jie said, “From now on, we should text less and video call more often!”
“Sure!
That makes us look more like a couple!”
Tang Xiao settled back into the bathtub, adjusting her face mask.
“Hey, by the way, how did it go at the project office today?
Did you meet Wang Kun?”
“More than just met.
The guy was blatantly using his power for personal gain, trying to teach me a lesson…”
Wu Jie recounted the day’s events.
After listening, Tang Xiao chuckled and said:
“I thought he might have someone beat you up, but it turns out he’s quite smart, huh?
Knowing how to hurt people with a ‘soft knife’ is much more torturous!”
“Who’s to say who will beat whom?” After a brief pause, Wu Jie continued, “I’ll have to shuttle between the project department and the group frequently, so I borrowed a car.”
Tang Xiao replied, “No big deal!
Actually, having you watch over this project for me is good.
Our group has mainly been involved in infrastructure projects, like railways, bridges, and highways, we’ve done plenty, but this is our first time with a real estate project of tens of billions of yuan!”
“With a project this large and two companies cooperating, there’s a lot of room for rent-seeking.
I’m worried someone might abuse their power for personal gain.
So make sure you watch closely.
Catch any corruption, and I’ll reward you handsomely!”
Wu Jie laughed heartily, “Of course, no problem!
But aren’t you afraid I’ll use my position for personal gain and quietly embezzle something?”
Tang Xiao scoffed, “You?
If you could pull off embezzlement, not only would I not punish you, I’d reward you double!”
“Great!
You said it, so now I’ll have to think hard on how to make a killing!”
“Well, ponder at your leisure!
I’m going to hang up and go to sleep soon.
I have to catch an early flight to Huhai tomorrow.”
“Alright!
Goodnight, dear!”
Wu Jie said it without thinking.
“Goodnight, Jie!”
After saying that, Tang Xiao suddenly furrowed her brows in doubt.
Something seemed off!
At this moment, Wu Jie shouldn’t be calling her dear, right?
But whatever, it was just a fake relationship!
…
Wu Jie set his alarm and tossed his phone aside.
Just as he was about to continue browsing live streams, a commotion came from outside the door.
It was either Lin Wan or Tang Xin, definitely one of his beautiful female roommates returning…
