Chapter 68 - 69: Trying on Clothes

Yu Xiaozhe himself is not interested in these things; he’s busy tidying himself up right now. As for the reason...well, of course, it’s because he and Ruan Xingwen have agreed to meet up for dinner today! Li Mu stared dumbfoundedly at his boss, who had already changed more than ten sets of clothes. He took out his phone and sent a message to Zhang He. A few minutes later, Zhang He hurriedly pushed the door open and came in. "What’s wrong? Did Mingsheng stir up some trouble again?" Before anyone could answer, she saw Yu Xiaozhe dressed up neatly and looking in the mirror, while Li Mu was sitting on the sofa watching Yu Xiaozhe’s reflection. ...What was going on? "No, what is happening with you two? Little Mu, you sent a message, and I thought something had happened again." Zhang He raised her hand to gesture at Yu Xiaozhe. "What is President Yu up to? Attending a banquet? Preparing this early in the morning?" Li Mu shrugged, indicating he also didn’t know. Zhang He’s gaze moved to the man in front of the mirror. Yu Xiaozhe rarely seemed uneasy, clenched his fist against his lips, and cleared his throat, "Ahem, going to sign a contract with Xingxing today." "..." "..." Zhang He and Li Mu were both speechless. Even for a meeting worth a billion, Yu Xiaozhe didn’t pay so much attention to his appearance! Of course, normally our President Yu is very mindful of his appearance. What shocked Zhang He was that Xingxing actually had such influence, causing Yu Xiaozhe to act so unusually. "But speaking of which, do we need to get involved with the Mingsheng situation?" "What’s going on online?" Li Mu quietly took out his phone and opened Weibo, Seeing the topic "[Mingsheng President, He Mingsheng, personally clarified in a post]" had climbed to the top of the hot search, while Zeng Xu’s morning post had been pushed to second place. After looking at the post time of He Mingsheng’s tweet, it was obvious Zeng Xu’s was pushed to hot search by users, while He Mingsheng’s was bought up. "That He Mingsheng is still jumping around." Zhang He half-sat on the sofa armrest, looked at Weibo through Li Mu’s phone, and said. Li Mu didn’t like being too close to people, and Zhang He had the carefree personality since childhood, growing up with Yu Xiaozhe and Fang Wenkai, surrounded by boys, she naturally lacked the girlish shyness. Seeing Li Mu scoot away from her, Zhang He scoffed lightly, "Tsk, Little Mu, with this attitude, you’ll find someone by the year of the monkey! Look at your boss; even he’s blossoming; you need to change your ways!" Then she mischievously chuckled, "Hehehe, do you want big sis to introduce you? Do you prefer boys or girls?" Yu Xiaozhe, seeing Li Mu bullied to the edge of the sofa, couldn’t stand it anymore, "Alright, stop bullying him. What’s the online situation?" "Ahem, how am I bullying him, just considering Little Mu’s lifelong affairs..." Zhang He muttered a bit, finally steering the topic back to business. "He Mingsheng pushed all those lousy matters onto He Wei, and this time a lot of Mingsheng’s higher-ups are involved, including He Wei, Zhang Jian, and several managers." Yu Xiaozhe nodded, the development was roughly as he expected. He Mingsheng is good at adapting to circumstances but has a fatal flaw, self-opinionated, arrogant. "It’s a pity we couldn’t completely topple Mingsheng!" Zhang He said, somewhat regretfully. "Without He Wei, do you think the old folks of Mingsheng won’t have other thoughts?" "Also true, actually He Wei is quite capable, just not used in the right place, always doing shady things. Finally got rid of a menace for society, Zhou Xue’s soul should find peace." Yu Xiaozhe didn’t quite agree with Zhang He’s words, "Zhou Xue is indeed pitiful, but she got to where she is now for her own reasons; too naive, too trusting." "Hiss." Zhang He was taken aback by Yu Xiaozhe’s sharp assessment and sucked in a breath of cold air, ultimately extending a thumbs up in agreement. "President Yu truly is President Yu, always sharp. By the way, do you interact like this with your Xingxing? Would he like you?" Yu Xiaozhe paused while arranging his tie, then continued to straighten it. Zhang He continued to tease him, "Also, you’re always in suit and tie, and sure it’s handsome, but won’t your Xingxing get tired of it? I’d puke from looking!" This time Yu Xiaozhe completely stopped his actions and just stared at Zhang He. Zhang He was so startled by his gaze that goosebumps rose, "What! I’m not wrong! Who’d like their boyfriend always dressed like that! No freshness at all!" Yu Xiaozhe nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, since taking over the company from his grandfather, suits had become his regular attire. Apart from different styles of suits, his dressing had really been unchanged for years. Does Xingxing also find him uninteresting? Yu Xiaozhe couldn’t help but mentally ask. Zhang He didn’t notice Yu Xiaozhe’s obvious emotional shift and continued babbling away, "Old Yu, not to criticize but you have to change your cold-blooded personality. Imagine if Xingxing makes you mad, you throw a chilling glare, can they handle it? Also, you need to smile more, or else your divine face is wasted." Zhang He’s words did indeed stir something in Yu Xiaozhe, he should indeed change himself. But her subsequent words shattered the atmosphere created. "If you smiled more, took a few selfies, your fans would have a field day. This way, the comments under our studio’s official blog wouldn’t constantly push for your daily photos—a win-win!" "..." "..." "What’s wrong? Am I not right? Can’t you think about the employees of our studio? Old Yu, smile more, so the atmosphere in our studio can be improved significantly." Zhang He persisted in advising. Yu Xiaozhe didn’t feel like interacting further; he turned and headed towards the mini-rest area built into the office, wanting to find a more suitable outfit. The office was left with a dazed Li Mu and a chatty Zhang He. "Little Mu, am I wrong? Why can’t Yu Xiaozhe smile more? Doesn’t he smile when chatting with Xingxing?" Zhang He wanted to say more but was interrupted by Li Mu, "Are they Xingxing?" "...No." "Do you really think the atmosphere would improve if the boss smiles at employees? Do you really think our studio’s employees wouldn’t be scared stiff?" "...But..." Zhang He got interrupted by Li Mu again, "Sister He, it’s almost seven, everyone hasn’t slept the whole night; you should rest too." After saying this, Li Mu quickly got up and walked out of the office, as if a frightening "monster" was chasing him. The "monster" Zhang He understood she was being disdained by both of them again, "Humph!" She stood up, tidied up her somewhat wrinkled blazer, clicked her high heels, and prepared to leave. She had a lot to handle, and Mingsheng’s matters needed following up. She had long been annoyed by Mingsheng’s way of doing things, this time she had to peel off a layer of his hide at any cost! Otherwise, she wouldn’t be called Zhang He!
