You Two Really Are Geniuses

Zhu Yu had an incredibly lavish New Year's Eve dinner.

Old Master Shen was generous as well, handing out three big red envelopes straight away. Zhu Yu's was by far the thickest.

Shen Jingyan stared at the extra-large red envelope in front of Zhu Yu, his eyes brimming with envy.

After the Spring Festival, Zhu Yu got back into his boss's car and returned to work at the company.

The moment he returned, Zhu Yu noticed that the company had become much livelier.

Zhu Yu curiously looked over the office decorations. Everything was either red dolls or little red lanterns, making the place look especially festive.

"Assistant Zhu, what do you think? We specifically set this up for you. Looks good, right?" Xiao Zhuang wore his work uniform and had a little red hat on his head.

"Assistant Zhu, Happy New Year! Wishing you a prosperous year, and please continue to guide us this year!" Annie was also wearing a fitted work uniform, though she had a large red flower pinned in her hair.

Looking at the two of them, Zhu Yu suddenly had an ominous feeling. The two had walked in together with such beaming smiles—it really felt like they were digging a pit for him to jump into.

"Assistant Zhu, look! This is a red scarf our entire team specially picked out for you. It's pure cashmere and super comfortable." Annie finally pulled out the item she had been hiding behind her back.

Zhu Yu looked at the beautiful red scarf on the table and pointed at it. "You're not planning to make me wear this, are you?"

"Of course! Look how fluffy and warm it is! It's much better than this thing on my head that feels like a piece of paper." Xiao Zhuang spoke seriously, taking the chance to complain about his own hat. Before buying it, he had thought it looked pretty thick, and it even had a little red pom-pom. But after getting it, it felt like it would tear apart with one tug.

"Isn't the color a little too red? Is everyone wearing something like this?" Zhu Yu asked curiously.

"Everyone is wearing something," Annie said, nodding.

Zhu Yu looked toward the office entrance, and sure enough, it was a sea of red. Nearly everyone had some red on them, and some had even deliberately worn red socks.

"It symbolizes our secretarial department having a thriving and prosperous year," Xiao Zhuang said with an exceptionally serious, solemn expression.

Zhu Yu nodded and put on the red scarf. Setting everything else aside, it really was warm enough that there was no need to turn on the heat indoors. Why did it suddenly seem so appealing?

On the first day back at work, there were not many tasks to handle. Zhu Yu first organized his desk and cabinet, then left his office and went to the break room to make himself a cup of coffee. The moment he walked in, he saw two red-faced cats?

Zhu Yu did not know how to describe the scene before him. He looked closely for a long time before realizing that the two people were actually Shen Jingyan and Li Yichen.

The two men had red paint smeared across their faces, each with a different pattern drawn on it.

"Don't you have hats, scarves, or socks?" Zhu Yu's expression twisted slightly. Those two faces were simply too funny, but he still had to maintain his persona at the company. This was far too difficult—weren't they deliberately making things hard for him?

"We do! But we both felt those things didn't suit our aesthetic." Shen Jingyan thought about how that little hat was not even as big as his head. The scarf was nothing but plain red, which was too monotonous, while the socks were too flashy and would be hidden inside shoes anyway. Who would even see them?

Li Yichen nodded in agreement. Whoever had picked those things clearly needed to improve their taste.

"So your taste is whatever you've got on your faces? By the way, what exactly did you two draw? Is that a pig?" Zhu Yu looked doubtfully at the circle with two dots.

"What pig? This is the Carefree School. The whole point is to be carefree." Li Yichen angrily pointed at the design on his face.

Zhu Yu nodded in understanding. You two really are talented. You casually drew a few lines on your faces and somehow made a pig, yet you're still so confident. I can't compete with that. I really can't.

After making his coffee, Zhu Yu hurriedly left this place of trouble. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he really would not be able to stop himself from laughing out loud.

Shen Jingyan and Li Yichen looked at Zhu Yu's retreating back, then exchanged glances. Zhu Yu definitely just did not know how to appreciate art.

But after a while, the two exchanged another look.

Li Yichen: Could it be psychological suggestion? Why does the thing on my brother's face really seem like a pig?

Shen Jingyan: A-Chen, when you connect the patterns on your face, it really does look a bit like a pig. The more I look at it, the more it resembles one.

...Time passed second by second.

"A pig ˙Ꙫ˙!!!" The two blinked at the same time and screamed in horror before simultaneously rushing toward the restroom.

Xiao Zhuang had just walked out of the restroom when their speed left him dizzy. Since when did people have to race each other just to use the restroom?
