Ding-a-ling-ling!Half an hour later, the first call came through, and Hao Jian acted as if he hadn't heard it at all, completely ignoring it. An hour passed, and he didn't answer three consecutive calls. Then Hao Jian's phone rang. He glanced at the number, quickly sat up in fright, and said in an ingratiating voice: "Hello... Wife, did you miss me?" "Hao Jian, listen carefully, if you don't answer the next call, I'll make sure you work for nothing this month!" came Shu Ya's annoyed voice from the other end of the phone. It turned out that when some departments couldn't get through to the logistics, they had called Shu Ya to report, and Shu Ya quickly learned that Hao Jian, the bastard, was slacking off. "Wife, I just went to take a dump, I'm heading back now," Hao Jian hurriedly explained. Hearing this explanation, Shu Ya's face turned green with anger, and she hung up immediately, not bothering to speak with this vulgar guy. Hao Jian gave a wry smile, realizing that slacking off was no longer an option. "Ring-ring-ring." The phone rang again, and Hao Jian reluctantly answered it. "What's wrong with you? You didn't answer the phone repeatedly, where the heck did you go!" This time, an sharp and cynical female voice came through. Hao Jian was instantly annoyed. It was one thing for Shu Ya to speak to him like that, but who was this woman to talk to him this way? "I just went to take a dump, don't humans have emergencies? Don't you know that?" Hao Jian retorted, neither servile nor overbearing. "You spent over an hour in the toilet?" The woman on the other end obviously didn't believe him and sneered coldly. "I have constipation, plus hemorrhoids, and they were oozing pus mixed with blood, so it took especially long, alright?" Hao Jian also scoffed coldly in response. Think you're the only one who can laugh? ".." The other end fell silent, clearly the woman hadn't expected Hao Jian to respond like that. She was really disgusted by Hao Jian, and his description immediately conjured up an image for her. "Hello, why not speaking? If you're not going to talk, I'm hanging up," Hao Jian said impatiently. "A cup of cold green tea, a cup of hot kumquat lemon tea, a cup of extra-sugar less-milk caramel coffee, and a cup of less-sugar extra-milk cappuccino, you have ten minutes to bring them to the R&D department or else you'll see!" the woman threatened. "Hold on, let me write it down," Hao Jian replied grudgingly, really feeling like a grandson now. "Can't you even remember that much, is your brain stuffed with straw?" the woman mocked bitterly. Stunned by the woman's harsh words, Hao Jian faltered for a moment, then a sneer curved his lips as he said: "Five trees on the hill, five pots of vinegar on the rack, five deer in the forest, five pants in the box. Cut down the trees on the hill, remove the vinegar from the rack, shoot the deer in the forest, take out the pants from the box. If you can, repeat it back to me. If you can't, it's not straw in your brain, but silicone!" Ha! The woman at the other end of the phone first went quiet for a moment, then suddenly burst out furiously: "Kid, are you purposely messing with me? Do you freaking know who I am?" "I know!" Hao Jian said nonchalantly! "Hmph! Good that you know!" The woman at the other end seemed somewhat pleased, asking teasingly: "Say, who am I?" "A hysteric old lady!" Hao Jian said with a scoff. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "..." "Jerk! Jerk! Go buy my stuff, right now! Immediately! Now!!!!" The woman's voice thundered in anger, then she hung up the phone immediately. "Hey, quite the temper there." Hao Jian curled his lip but showed an indifferent expression. Then, something seemed to occur to Hao Jian, and he muttered, "The R&D department? That woman just now couldn't be the shrew Su Qin that Tie Shan mentioned before, could she?" After buying the items that woman had mentioned, Hao Jian headed toward the R&D department. He stood at the entrance of the R&D department and shouted loudly, "Who was the old lady who called for a drink just now?" "..." A group of people looked up at him, their expressions somewhat bizarre, wondering what was the deal with shouting and yelling in the department. They had strict discipline in their department, and clearly, Hao Jian did not care about these so-called rules. Especially since he used honorifics... 'old lady'! "Was it you who spoke with me on the phone just now?" At that moment, a woman quickly walked towards Hao Jian. She was dressed in a white shirt and a red skirt, both of which were tight-fitting. The shirt was quite thin, the color of her bra faintly visible underneath, making one's gaze involuntarily stop at her chest upon first glance. The woman had a beautiful face, though not as much as Sister Lan, Shu Ya, or Xiao Qiang, but she had a very seductive kind, with heavy makeup, similar to those commercial models. Hao Jian stared blankly at the woman, who was shorter than him, "You are..." "Su Qin, R&D department head. I'm asking you, was it you who spoke with me on the phone just now?" Su Qin said coldly, feeling her anger rise at the thought of how Hao Jian had mocked her earlier. Especially since this jerk had called her 'old lady' again and again... In all her years at the company, no one had dared to speak to her like that. Hao Jian felt helpless, his luck was truly miserable, offending the two people in the company whom he should least afford to offend right upon arrival. Hao Jian gave Su Qin a serious look, to be precise, he was checking out Su Qin's "peaks". So this was the "foxy spirit" Tie Shan talked about, definitely very charming, those eyes looked so inviting, this woman was definitely no good. "Do you like what you see?" Su Qin said, noticing Hao Jian still fixating on her, a cold smile emerging on her lips. All men, none without lust. That principle Su Qin had understood long ago, but to see someone so brazenly lustful, it was truly her first time. "Not bad." Hao Jian scratched his head, saying somewhat sheepishly. "You." Su Qin was momentarily at a loss for words, so angered she was speechless. "Well, my name is Hao Jian." Hao Jian introduced himself. Su Qin, impatient, waved her hand dismissively, "I'm not interested in who you are, did you buy the things I asked for?" Hao Jian smiled slightly, not getting angry, and handed over the items. "Didn't I tell you no milk in the caramel coffee? Are you deaf?" Su Qin glanced at the item Hao Jian bought, a mischievous smile appearing, but she suddenly became furious. "Impossible, you said before 'extra sugar, less milk.'" Hao Jian defended, he heard it clearly that Su Qin wanted extra sugar, not no milk. "What I said was 'extra sugar, no milk!'" Su Qin's voice grew sharp, suddenly drawing the attention of many colleagues in the office. "Minister Su, I think you should now carefully think about what you have said before, perhaps then you would know whether you had said that or not," Hao Jian said with a smile, though his smile was quite sinister. "Are you saying that you think I'm falsely accusing you?" Su Qin said with a cold laugh, her expression very harsh. Hao Jian's smile froze, and now he was almost certain that this Su Qin was just looking for trouble on purpose. Probably she wanted to retaliate for him talking back to her over the phone, no wonder she was so disliked in the company.
