Ji Wangyan glanced at the group, then at the burly, bespectacled man in the plaid shirt, and finally at Chu Yanzhang, whose face was contorted with rage.
"Don't worry, my brother doesn't like that type of guy." Please, don't let things get too cold!
Chu Yanzhang received no comfort. He looked at Ji Wangyan and said coldly, " Brother Wangyan, that's not what I meant. You don't know what this person just said. He said he's been unhappy with Zhouzhou for a long time."
Look at Zhouzhou, she's already starting to get upset. What kind of assistant talks to their boss like that? It's insubordinate and shows no professionalism. Zhouzhou hasn't even said anything, and he's already being sarcastic!
Xiao Lin: "..." He didn't come to work to flatter the boss, so why can't he say anything? Employees are people too, not animals. Isn't it normal for them to complain about the boss?
It's just a difference between openly criticizing someone and criticizing them behind their back.
Before Ji Wangyan could speak, Xiao Lin bluntly said, "Nobody said haters can't be assistants, right? Besides, I was recommended by the president."
Ji Wangyan, rubbing his forehead. He couldn't understand what his older brother was trying to do. Were these two stubborn guys teaming up to start a fight?
Oh no, he was starting to feel sorry for the new assistant. This guy probably had no idea how difficult his brother was to deal with, which was why he was spouting such nonsense.
His brother, on the other hand, required eight maids to serve him; he was incredibly picky.
Xie Zhuzhou patted Chu Yanzhang's shoulder and whispered something in his ear.
Chu Yanzhang's lips curled up slightly, as if he had been coaxed.
Ji Wangyan: "..." Little brother, you can't spoil men, or they'll take advantage of you!
Looking at Chu Yanzhang's obedient and submissive appearance, Xiao Lin felt even more disdain.
He thought to himself: So this man with his sweet and aloof demeanor is just a pretty face with no substance.
"In the end, one has to bow one's head when under someone else's roof, "Xiao Lin thought unwillingly.
Xie Zhuzhou patted Chu Yanzhang's hand, signaling him to calm down, then turned to Xiao Lin, his tone indifferent. "Since you were recommended by my elder brother, I won't make things too difficult for you. However, what I hate most is people who are two-faced. If you have any complaints, you can say them directly, but if I find out you're doing something underhanded, the consequences won't be something you can bear."
Xie Zhuzhou believes that he must be very composed in front of Little Yan now.
Xiao Lin felt a chill run down his spine, but he had to admit that Xie Zhuzhou's words did indeed make him somewhat wary.
He adjusted his glasses, concealing his disdain. "Don't worry, boss, now that I've taken this job, I'll do my best. However, I also hope you can respect my professional opinions."
Xie Zhuzhou smiled slightly, seemingly satisfied with his answer, "That's good. As for professional advice, I will naturally listen, but the final decision rests with me. I hope we can cooperate happily." He certainly wouldn't listen; he was inherently rebellious.
He didn't really take Xiao Lin's attitude to heart.
Xie Zhuzhou felt that he wasn't gold, and even if he were, not everyone would like him. He respected differences, and what he wanted were haters.
If a fan were to act as his assistant, it would be quite troublesome, as he dislikes dealing with overly enthusiastic fans.
To be precise, no.
He knew that his fan base was growing rapidly, and his public image had already crumbled halfway, all because of that rabbit, which made him feel incredibly embarrassed!
So he had to pull himself together and go all the way down this path.
He is now paying extra attention to his haters, hoping they can refute his fans.
He's not some cute, unexpectedly charming college student at all. Just look at those words—he sounds like someone who's easy to bully!
Doesn't he have any pride? With this label, how will he ever face anyone at school again? People will definitely laugh at him!
Chu Yanzhang watched the interaction between the two, feeling somewhat displeased, but he didn't say anything more. He knew Zhouzhou had her own considerations, and he also trusted that Zhouzhou wouldn't let him suffer a loss.
Zhouzhou is just too kind. Even though this assistant is so arrogant, she still makes Zhouzhou endure humiliation.
Ji Wangyan couldn't bear to look at the love-struck man next to him. He used to think Chu Yanzhang was mysterious, shrewd, and ruthless.
Now, the filter is completely shattered.
Wu Chang and others were busy at the company, and Chu Yanzhang didn't come to work today either; documents were piled up like mountains.
Today, Xie Zhuzhou and Chu Yanzhang are both wearing long swimsuits.
Xie Zhuzhou's gaze unconsciously drifted downwards, but he finally blushed and looked away. And wasn't this just wrong?
Why would Little Yan... do that?
Little Yan is his wife, how can she be more than him?
Besides, Little Yan is so delicate, he'd hurt himself if he hit someone, so in the end he'd still be the one on top.
The Xie Zhuzhou thought about it, the hotter his head became.
Chu Yanzhang's face turned bright red after Zhouzhou left.
Several swimming coaches were already waiting for them.
The first lesson is about to begin.
Xie Zhuzhou tried to calm himself down, but the image of Chu Yanzhang in a swimsuit kept flashing through his mind, making him somewhat distracted.
He took a deep breath, trying to focus on the coach's explanation, but the sound of water and the coach's voice seemed to drift away.
Chu Yanzhang, standing to the side, noticed Xie Zhuzhou's unease. He moved closer and whispered, " Zhouzhou, what's wrong? Your face is so red, are you feeling unwell?"
Xie Zhuzhou was pulled back to reality by his voice, coughed awkwardly, and covered up, saying, "No, it's nothing, it's probably just too hot here." Is it too hot for Little Yan...?
Chu Yanzhang raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing his explanation, but he didn't press further. He turned to look at the coach and began to listen attentively to the lesson.
After the coach explained the basic movements, he let everyone practice in the water. Xie Zhuzhou stood by the pool, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered up his courage to jump in. The water temperature was lower than he had expected, which instantly sobered him up.
That night, Xie Zhuzhou lay in bed, the image of Chu Yanzhang in his swimsuit still flashing through his mind!
Is it too much for Little Yan...?
Xie Zhuzhou buried his head in the blanket.
Lost in thought, he drifted off to sleep. In his dream, he saw Little Yan lying beside his legs, his hand gripping Little Yan's hair, forcing the other to look at him.
The room was filled with an alluring atmosphere, and an ambiguous mood seemed to be right next to his ears.
He woke up with a start early in the morning.
He pulled back the covers and, upon seeing what was happening, his mind went blank and his face turned bright red.
Xie Zhuzhou jumped out of bed in a panic, rushed into the bathroom, and splashed cold water on his face, trying to clear his head. Looking at his flushed face in the mirror, he couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath, "I'm crazy..."
He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm the agitation in his heart.
Last night's dream was so real that he could hardly distinguish between dream and reality.
Xie Zhuzhou suddenly felt guilty towards Little Yan, realizing how despicable he had been. They were only together, not married yet.
The wedding night can only be consummated after marriage.
The original owner didn't have that kind of experience; his body was so weak in ancient times that he couldn't even have a sexual relationship.
And is his situation normal?
In the morning, Chu Yanzhang came to pick him up to go to school, Xie Zhuzhou didn't dare to look Little Yan directly in the face.
Chu Yanzhang was very perceptive, so he noticed this subtle change. He lowered his eyes, wondering if he had done something wrong, or if Zhouzhou was simply tired of him.
Wu Chang was right, we can't be too clingy...
Xie Zhuzhou didn't hear Little Yan speak, and turned back to look at Little Yan's head, which looked as if thunder and rain were falling.
"I'll pick you up after you get off work today. Be good at work." Xie Zhuzhou kissed his lips and comforted him.
Before his lips could leave, Chu Yanzhang pressed down on the back of his neck, deepening the kiss.
" Zhouzhou, I feel like I can't live without you." Chu Yanzhang's eyes were red, and deep in his eyes was a longing for Xie Zhuzhou.
He longed for Xie Zhuzhou's complete love, but he knew he was being too greedy.
It was just a little bit, far from enough to satisfy him.
Xie Zhuzhou had no idea what this guy was thinking, and only said, "Don't act cute."
On the other hand, Xiao Nan got a new colleague, which should have been a happy thing, but unexpectedly, this person was a hater of his Young Master Xie, leaving him speechless.
After a long silence, he finally asked curiously, "What task did Young Master Xie assign you?"
Xiao Lin pushed up his glasses, adopting a businesslike expression. " Young Master Xie asked me to handle things he doesn't want to handle, and I don't even know what my responsibilities are yet." Xiao Nan paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh, "Then you're in for a lot of work. Young Master Xie has quite a few things he doesn't want to handle." He was already starting to feel sorry for Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin frowned, clearly displeased with Xiao Nan's attitude. "What are you laughing at? Is this job difficult?"
Xiao Nan shrugged and explained, "It's not difficult, it's just that Young Master Xie is a bit... unique. He doesn't like being tied down, so often his 'unwillingness to deal with' actually means 'unwillingness to do.' You have to learn to read between the lines, otherwise you'll easily make a mistake."
Xiao Lin nodded thoughtfully, but he was somewhat unconvinced. He considered himself exceptionally capable and refused to believe that he couldn't even handle a rich kid.
Besides liking to show off, what else can Xie Zhuzhou do?
He simply didn't believe that Xie Zhuzhou could actually appear before him with special effects!
