I Like a Fierce Top

With the end of the Spring Festival, the company slowly returned to its pre-holiday pace.

Zhu Yu spread out the documents in front of him.

After their intensive training over the New Year, Shen Jingyan and Li Yichen had noticeably sped up in handling their work.

Annie and Xiao Zhuang both looked at the two of them with newfound respect.

Zhu Yu was typing up his boss's schedule for tomorrow in the office when someone suddenly knocked on his door.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

"Come in."

Zhu Yu looked up toward the door.

"Little Fish." The person who entered was Guan Yi.

Zhu Yu immediately went on high alert. Why was this scumbag here again?

"What is it?"

"Nothing much. I just wanted to ask whether Little Fish had time tonight to go out for dinner with me?" Guan Yi leaned his upper body directly over the desk.

Zhu Yu pushed off the floor with his foot, and his chair hurriedly slid backward.

What kind of seductive pose was that? I feel like my desk is dirty. I need a new desk.

Guan Yi's hand, which had been reaching for Zhu Yu's cheek, froze in midair.

Guan Yi lowered his head slightly. A trace of displeasure flashed through his heart, but his expression remained pitiful.

"Little Fish, are you still angry with me? Angry that I broke up with you two years ago? That really wasn't what I wanted. I was forced into it back then too."

Zhu Yu curled his lip when he heard that. Forced? What, someone held a knife to your neck and made you do it? Get the hell out of here. You're still trying to fool me? Do you think I'm the original owner?

"Guan Yi, I think I've already made myself very clear. Since we've broken up, there's no need for us to be so close. Please gracefully roll out of my office now. Thank you." Zhu Yu smiled with one leg crossed over the other.

"Little Fish, I know you're only saying that out of anger. I specifically booked your favorite restaurant for tonight." Remembering the task his father had assigned him, Guan Yi took a deep breath and continued looking at Zhu Yu gently.

"Guan Yi, I've realized you really can't understand human speech. I've made it so clear—why can't you be a qualified ex? Why do you have to keep crawling out of the grave whenever you've got nothing better to do?"

"What? Trying to get some benefits out of me? I'm telling you, not a chance. Oh, no, not even a crack."

You really think I'm some easy mark? With the way you are, I can tell what you're scheming the moment your eyes move. Trying to fool me? Go train for a few more lifetimes.

Next door, Shen Jingmo leaned back in his chair and tapped the document in his hand. Guan Yi...

Guan Yi gritted his teeth as he looked at the utterly unyielding Zhu Yu. He couldn't give up just like that. If he failed to obtain Shen Corporation's core robotics technology, his viper of a father would definitely never hand the company over to him.

Guan Yi adjusted himself and stood properly. "Since Little Fish isn't willing, I won't disturb you any longer. I hope Little Fish will agree to my invitation next time."

Zhu Yu crossed his arms and watched Guan Yi give him a wink before leaving, sending goosebumps all over his body.

I like fierce tops, fierce tops!!! A pretty boy like you is seriously unbearable. The powder on your face is falling off in chunks—it's practically caked on.

Next door, Shen Jingmo heard another unfamiliar term. What was a fierce top? Zhu Yu liked fierce tops? Who was this fierce top?

Zhu Yu hurriedly opened his phone and scrolled through some videos, desperately trying to wash away that disgusting scene from earlier. He was truly speechless.

Outside the office.

Li Yichen and Shen Jingyan were slumped over at their workstations, staring at the dense rows of text on their computer screens.

Shen Jingyan suddenly slammed the desk. "I'm seriously sick of this life."

Li Yichen's eyes shifted. "And what can you do even if you're sick of it? Can you just stop enduring it?"

Annie, Xiao Zhuang, and Su Duoduo, who were sitting beside them, all jumped in fright.

Hearing them, Annie looked at the two with some exasperation. These two clearly did the least work.

One day, she really needed to talk to Assistant Zhu about switching her and Xiao Zhuang's seats. Why did working feel like being back in school? The worst student sat beside the worst student, and the second worst sat beside the second worst.

Shen Jingyan held his head and thought seriously. Then his eyes suddenly lit up. He grabbed Li Yichen's hand. "I know what we can do. How about we start a company together? We can be our own bosses."

Li Yichen immediately sat up much straighter. That idea sounded pretty good.

Without anyone noticing, Zhu Yu quietly came up behind them. Hearing their naïve conversation, he didn't know whether he should laugh or burst out laughing.

Seeing Assistant Zhu's expression, Xiao Zhuang quietly lowered his head and sighed again.

Life was hard. This was Assistant Zhu's first time getting angry after the New Year.

Ever since Annie had come to her senses, every time she heard the conversation between these two beside her, she desperately wanted to crack open their skulls and see whether they even had brains. Sometimes she even wanted to crack open her own skull. Maybe the version of herself who had once liked Shen Jingyan had even less of a brain.

Now that she saw Assistant Zhu, she simply crossed her arms and smiled as she watched the two men continue fantasizing about their future.
