Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 693 - 691 Pig-headed Friend (Third Update)
This kind of cautious and caring mindset is actually quite normal for someone like Da Bao who grew up with his family background.
However, he never voiced these thoughts. And Yin Zhihao and Ren Weiqi have never made any excessive demands of him over the years. Surely, both sides cherish this friendship deeply, unwilling to let worldly things ruin this pure relationship.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that Yin Zhihao finds it so difficult to speak.
"I..." Yin Zhihao finally managed to start, but just as he opened his mouth, he didn’t know how to continue.
"Go ahead, if I can do it, I naturally will. If I find it difficult, I definitely won’t force myself."
Saying this much was hinting at Yin Zhihao not to feel burdened.
Actually, in the relationship between Da Bao and Yin Zhihao, even if Da Bao found it a bit difficult, it wouldn’t have mattered to him.
However, when Da Bao heard Yin Zhihao’s request, he still felt that he overestimated Yin Zhihao.
Not that he overestimated Yin Zhihao’s character, but he overestimated his intelligence.
Yin Zhihao heard Da Bao say this, bit his lip, and finally said, "Da Bao, yesterday Shao Yuxin called me..."
As he spoke, he seriously observed Da Bao’s reaction.
Da Bao remained calm, though the words did surprise him a bit.
"Hmm, and then?"
"Then... then..." The usually eloquent Yin Zhihao stuttered for quite a while without being able to continue.
"Don’t tell me then she confessed to you!" Da Bao stared at his friend, his tone becoming aggressive.
"Of course not..." Yin Zhihao lowered his head, looking deflated. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"Then what was it?"
Da Bao asked impatiently, thinking that after his confession failed in middle school, his pig-headed friend had already given up completely because since then he hadn’t heard his friend mention Shao Yuxin.
It turns out, it wasn’t forgotten, but secretly kept in his heart!
Da Bao was disgusted with his own poetic thoughts, vaguely feeling a cold breeze on his back.
Yin Zhihao seemed startled by Da Bao’s displeased tone and shrank his head.
"Are you going to say it or not, if not, I’m going to bed." Da Bao was too worn out by his friend to lose his temper.
Yin Zhihao knew Da Bao’s temperament well, knowing that if he procrastinated further, he would definitely be kicked out by Da Bao.
Clenching his teeth, he finally got the words out, "It’s just... just that she can’t find a place for her internship right now. She’s studying accounting, and isn’t our company’s accounting department just hiring? She asked if I could let her try!"
Da Bao silently looked at his friend, giving him a sharp look from head to toe, then pointed at his head.
"Yin Zhihao, do you think that thing on your neck is just decoration?"
Yin Zhihao awkwardly coughed a couple of times. Da Bao took a deep breath, silently advising himself to calm down, thinking his friend was just blinded by so-called love!
"The accounting department is hiring a senior accountant, is she one? If she is, she wouldn’t have trouble finding a place for an internship. Besides, you and Wei Qi are so close to me, did I pull any strings for you? The design and tech departments are also hiring, but you two are just interns, not tech staff. What makes Shao Yuxin think that as a university student who hasn’t graduated yet, she can work as a senior accountant in the accounting department? Hmm?!"
The recruitment ad for accountants in the department has been online for at least a month in job markets. It’s not that no one has applied, but Da Bao’s standards are high; he’d rather have a vacancy than settle.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing her for a few years, Shao Yuxin’s audacity knows no bounds.
And the most frustrating thing is that his pig-headed friend was foolishly being used.
Yin Zhihao got sprayed with nonsense yet didn’t dare to retort, because what Da Bao said was all true.
But Shao Yuxin finally contacted him proactively, letting his heart, buried in darkness for so long, finally see a glimmer of hope. If he didn’t strive for it or perform well, it’d be a disservice to his own long-standing affection.
"About that, I also told her that the company is hiring accountants, not clerks. She said if it really doesn’t work out, a clerk or even an intern is fine."
Da Bao was amusedly enraged!
Initially, there were some things he genuinely didn’t want to explain to this fool in front of him, but if not clarified, who knows how deep this pighead would fall. He might plunge in and get exploited.
"Zhao Hao, do you think she is being humble and resilient? Do you think she’s swallowing her pride for an internship position?"
Yin Zhihao did think so in his heart, but seeing Da Bao’s grin that was somewhat frightening, he dared not make a sound.
"Do you really think she cares about that internship?" Da Bao asked again seeing he kept silent.
Yin Zhihao nodded, "Yeah, she said she’s been looking for a long time and couldn’t find one."
Da Bao smirked, folding his arms and nonchalantly watching him.
"Did she tell you her father is actually the owner of a chain candy store? Did she tell you that their chain recently opened a branch near my place? Did she tell you she was helping out at the branch near my place? And did she meet me there a few days ago? Did she tell you all that?"
Yin Zhihao was grilled by Da Bao’s relentless questioning, his face turning red with embarrassment. Yet, he still couldn’t quite believe Da Bao’s words or accept the fact that Shao Yuxin might have lied to him.
"Huh? Her family owns a chain candy shops? No way, Da Bao, are you sure?"
"Her father is Shao Hong. Don’t believe me, go search for this person now. If you can’t find him, you can inquire about him tomorrow."
Da Bao didn’t intentionally pry into Shao Yuxin’s background; it’s just that the chain candy store has dozens of branches in R City. When Shao Yuxin mentioned it was her family’s, and with her undeniable attitude as a lady-in-charge, Da Bao happened to glance at the business license behind her, which stated Shao Hong.
No matter if she was bluffing or not, anyhow, Da Bao now regarded her as a rich girl.
Yin Zhihao pulled out his phone, and when he saw the search results, his face turned even sourer.
Because what he found was a character interview, where Shao Hong mentioned having a precious daughter studying at a noble school. And he remembered that Shao Yuxin used to always bring lots of pretty candies to eat.
"Zhao Hao, let me ask you again, did she tell you she wanted to do her internship here because she wanted to work with you?"
Yin Zhihao was a bit embarrassed, surprisedly looking at Da Bao.
"How did you know? Did she tell you?"
