Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 1039 - 1025: Huo Feng and Yan Ji’s First Setback! (Part 4)
Many times, Pu Sangzhi thought in her mind, if only she and Brother Ye Xi were real siblings.
She had looked up to Brother Ye Xi from a young age, listened to him, did things his way, and shared the same interests and hobbies...
Perhaps initially, she wasn’t the Pu Sangzhi she is now. But she did change herself for Brother Ye Xi...
Gradually becoming an outstanding person, gradually developing better thoughts, gradually realizing the meaning of life.
To the point that now, Pu Sangzhi feels she has done justice to her life.
As Ye Qingcao said, she and Ye Xi are very alike...
However, they are not biologically siblings after all.
Pu Sangzhi has yet to reconcile with Ye Xi.
Ye Qingcao doesn’t even know that the relationship between Pu Sangzhi and Ye Xi has become so strained.
Ye Qingcao naïvely asked Pu Sangzhi, "Sangzhi~ How’s my brother doing at school?"
"What do you mean by doing?"
Pu Sangzhi replied while working on her modeling. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Ye Qingcao munched on her chips and asked, "Like, does he have a girlfriend? I’ve been messaging him on WeChat lately, but he hasn’t chatted with me for long! He keeps saying he’s busy! Or when I call him, he says he has a classmate over! I find it so strange~ Do you think he’s secretly dating someone?"
Pu Sangzhi shook her head and said, "I don’t know."
Ye Qingcao stared at her, crunching on her chips, "How can you not care about my brother? You’re so close to him~ Don’t you know if he’s dating someone?"
Pu Sangzhi shook her head again, "I really don’t know. Besides, my roommate has been chasing Brother Ye Xi..."
"Ah~"
Ye Qingcao instantly looked excited, "Your roommate? Then she’s a Tsinghua girl too! A talented girl! Is she pretty? Do you have a photo I can see?"
Pu Sangzhi scrunched her face, unsure of what to say...
Ultimately, she didn’t explain anything, pulled out her phone, found Minal’s WeChat, and showed Ye Qingcao Minal’s Moments.
"Wow~ She’s a minority!"
Ye Qingcao, as if discovering a new continent, took Pu Sangzhi’s phone and eagerly browsed through Minal’s photos on Moments.
"My, she’s from Xinjiang, so beautiful~ Look at her features, like a foreigner!"
Ye Qingcao was thrilled, flipping through Minal’s selfies while giggling, "You can tell from her photos she’s a cheerful girl, and cheerful girls always have good luck! Does my brother like her?"
Sangzhi didn’t know where Ye Qingcao got the feeling to ask that last question...
As Ye Xi’s biological sister, Pu Sangzhi felt that Ye Qingcao didn’t know Ye Xi as well as she did...
When Pu Sangzhi first found out Minal had an interest in Ye Xi, she already knew Ye Xi wouldn’t like a girl with Minal’s personality.
However, after some time together, Pu Sangzhi started to think that maybe Brother Ye Xi would be swayed by Minal.
But Pu Sangzhi still told Ye Qingcao, "Minal is lively, loves to laugh, and is very articulate, actually quite like you. But, Brother Ye Xi rejected Minal last semester, and she’s been persisting this semester; maybe there’s hope."
"Ah~ I hope this girl succeeds in chasing him!"
Ye Qingcao shook her head with a sigh while eating her chips, "My brother’s been single for so many years~ He’s like an iceberg! He needs a passionate girl to melt him away! I think this girl is very cute and pretty! If she becomes my sister-in-law, I would definitely get along well with her! Hehe, and she’s also your roommate, really like doubling the relation!"
Pu Sangzhi silently smiled, "I hope so. Actually, I do feel that Brother Ye Xi has gotten closer to Minal this semester. It’d be nice if they ended up together."
"Hehe~"
Ye Qingcao laughed as she picked up her phone, "I have to send my brother a WeChat and really ask him about this!"
Pu Sangzhi didn’t stop Ye Qingcao, she laughed as she continued immersing herself in her modeling...
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan had already bought a short-sleeve T-shirt at the fastest speed, changed into formal wear, and started running business errands.
They first arrived at a large company named Shengtian Games.
Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng, both carrying work bags and laptops, approached the front desk and introduced themselves, stating they were the people in charge of ’Yuanfeng Studio’ and wanted to see the director of the publishing department.
The receptionist asked if they had an appointment.
Of course, they didn’t...
Previously, Yan Siyuan had called to inquire about making an appointment, but because he hadn’t yet established the studio then, the receptionist hadn’t scheduled one for him.
So today, they just came directly, intending to find the director.
Seeing they didn’t have an appointment, the receptionist should have had them schedule one or directly asked them to leave.
But they were just too handsome! Their image too perfect!
The receptionist was a young girl, after all, and faced with two guys with such celestial looks, she just couldn’t bring herself to say no...
So, the receptionist said, "I’ll call the publishing department for you."
"Thank you very much," Huo Feng thanked her politely.
The receptionist then called upstairs, and it was the director’s assistant who answered.
As the receptionist made the call, her eyes kept flitting between Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng, occasionally catching their gaze, feeling like she’d been electrified, quickly averting her eyes...
"Hello, this is the front desk. There are two gentlemen claiming to be..."
The receptionist looked up at Yan Siyuan and Huo Feng...
Huo Feng quickly pulled out a personal business card, handed it to her, and said, "The persons in charge of Yuanfeng Studio."
"There are two gentlemen, claiming to be the persons in charge of ’Yuanfeng Studio,’ they’ve brought a game they’ve produced and wish to speak with Director Li," the receptionist explained over the phone.
Huo Feng nodded at her and even threw a wink, using his charm to the fullest...
The receptionist simply couldn’t resist Huo Feng’s good looks, she turned away from the call with a smile, quickly moving to where Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan couldn’t see her, holding her composure, and then continued on the call...
After finishing the call, the receptionist turned around, smiling at Huo Feng, "Hello, Director Li is currently in a meeting. If you’re willing to wait, you can wait in the rest area over there."
"Do you know approximately how long it’ll take?" Huo Feng continued to ask.
"I can’t say exactly; maybe an hour or so."
The receptionist said, "And also, Director Li hasn’t agreed to meet you yet because he’s still in the meeting, and the message hasn’t been relayed to him."
"No worries, we’ll wait, thank you," Huo Feng nodded in thanks.
"Could you please sit over there and wait a moment? I’ll get you some coffee."
The receptionist had to admit, offering coffee was bending the rules!
They were just too handsome...
The receptionist was eager to interact more with them, eager to serve them more, eager to have more conversations with them! Or even get their WeChat!
"Thank you, but coffee’s not necessary, we’d feel bad," Huo Feng waved off the offer.
"It’s no trouble, would you prefer tea or water?"
The receptionist sincerely asked, evidently exceeding her normal duties, "Or coffee, our company’s coffee is quite good and free!"
At the mention of the last recommendation, Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan knew that the receptionist was expressing an unusual enthusiasm...
She must have been floored by their handsomeness...
"Then coffee it is. Thanks so much, you’re very kind," Huo Feng complimented her with a smile.
"No no... It’s just my job... I’m not that great..." The receptionist practically stumbled over her words when talking to Huo Feng.
But it was clear that she was very happy!
Huo Feng, like an experienced socialite, complimented effortlessly, fluidly handling interpersonal relations.
As for Yan Siyuan, ever since entering the company’s doors, he hadn’t uttered a word.
He just stood quietly by the side, observing Huo Feng navigating interactions like an old fox, sometimes admiring him, other times finding him disdainful...
So, Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan went to sit in the lounge area.
A little while later, the receptionist brought them each a cup of coffee.
During the time they waited, the receptionist’s gaze frequently landed on them, often sneaking glances openly and covertly...
Moreover, she seemed to have even taken candid photos with her phone.
Huo Feng and Yan Siyuan didn’t stop her, pretending not to notice.
All of this was trivial...
The real big issue... was that the two of them were left waiting in the company’s lobby for an entire morning! Having two cups of coffee, and two cups of water!
