CHAPTER 27.2
"SHOWING AFFECTION" (2)
I was still in a trance when suddenly someone shook my arm. A very familiar voice resounded: “Xiao Guan Yan, idiot, for how long are you going to stay here?”
Without lifting my eyes up I said: “I beg your pardon but Director Wang we are in the middle of a meeting….”
Suppressing his laugh Wang Kai said: “Idiot, the meeting had ended long ago. Everybody has left.”
I raised my head up and found that his words were indeed true. Now it was only two of us in the meeting room.
Wang Kai inquisitively asked: “Xiao Yan what’s there on your neck? Just now Director Yu was looking at your neck as if he has lost his soul.”
My face instantly burned red. Bowing my head further down I stammered: “Tha that….that I don’t know”
Seeing how embarrassed I was Wang Kai became more curious: “Xiao Guan Yan, you are not aiming for the heart of Gem of marketing team, Yu Zhi Fei, Are you?” As he spoke these words he leaned in closer to check my neck for something.
I subconsciously embraced my neck: “Director Wang, can I go back now?”
Wang Kai simply ignored my words, grabbing both my wrists simultaneously extricated my hands from my neck with an ease and then glanced at my neck.
I was so ashamed that I almost kowtowed. I was waiting for him to laugh at me.
I waited for a few minutes but did not hear any sound. So I looked up at him. Wang Kai was standing very calmly with a blank face even his usual wretched expressions were missing.
I struggled to snatch my wrists back from his grip but that annoying fellow had held them too tightly, damn!
I became a bit impatient: “Director Wang, you aren’t planning to kidnap your own secretary, are you?”
Wang Kai still clutching my wrists chuckled lightly and said: “Xiao Guan Yan, what kind of aphrodisiac did you feed your husband last night?”
Your mother…!!!
I knew it, how could one find ivory in a dog’s mouth!! I was about to contradict his words when suddenly the conference room’s door opened and a man barged in.
I glanced in that direction, huh, Yu Zhi Fei!
Seeing us Yu Zhi Fei was absolutely stunned. I discovered that currently the distance between Wang Kai and me was too narrow. Wang Kai was standing right behind me; his chest was almost glued to my back. And…he was holding my hands.
In short, it was really hard for anyone to not misunderstand this sort of situation.
I used all my power to push off Wang Kai a bit, eyes flickering in panic.
Wang Kai very casually asked: “Director Yu, is there any problem?”
Yu Zhi Fei very calmly replied: “I left something here.” As he spoke these words, he started walking towards the seat beside mine. I gave a fleeting glance to the seat and noticed a stack of documents on the table. It seemed he truly had forgotten something here.
As Yu Zhi Fei grabbed his folder Wang Kai, very untimely, approached my ear, smiled sinisterly and suddenly whispered: “Xiao Guan Yan, did it hurt last night?”
Hearing his words my hair almost stood erect. What the hell was he spewing! Did he really wish for me to die of anger, only then he would feel satisfied!
I was busy shooting glares at Wang Kai while Yu Zhi Fei simply picked up his stuff and without
uttering a word left the room.
“Wang Kai, are you tired of leaving?”
“Of course not, Yan Yan, next time I will definitely be gentler.”
“You are still saying rubbish!”
“ah ah ah ah…..hey are you going to murder your leader?”
“Shut your nonsense, I am going to kill you.”
“ah ah ah ah ah ah ah….ah, I am your boss, don’t you want your job anymore?”
“Today, No one, not even my old mother, can stop me from resigning!”
“ah ah ah…I was going to give you raise and you want to resign…”
“Raise, how much?”
“How about ten percent? Ah ah ah ah ah……twenty, thirty, okay? …ah ah ah ah fifty and final!...ah ah ah double, doubled your current salary! Plus other perks and allowances…” I placed a pen in his hands and made him sign on the paper. Feeling contented I clapped my hands and then, patting Wang Kai’s shoulder, I chuckled wholeheartedly and said: “Double salary, starting tomorrow.”
With his head hung low Wang Kai somberly hummed twice.
Wow, hahaha, No wonder Jiang Li loved to bully people. Bullying others was indeed refreshing!
By the time I finished up my work it was already dark outside and all of a sudden it started drizzling.
I stood in front of the company’s main gate like the Amah rock* and looked at the vehicle, coming and going, on the other side of the gate. I waited for quite a while but there was no sign of Jiang Li….normally he would always come by this time.
* Amah Rock (Chinese: 望夫石,Mong Fu Shek, lit. "the stone gazing out for her husband") is a naturally shaped rock located on a hilltop in southwest Sha Tin, Hong Kong. According to a legend, the faithful wife of a fisherman climbed the hills every day, carrying her son, to watch for the return of her husband, not knowing he had been drowned at sea. In reward for her faithfulness she was turned into a rock by the Goddess of the Sea so that her spirit could unite with that of her husband.
Oh Dear God, finding this rain too troublesome this guy, Jiang Li, must have decided to not come.
After confirming this speculation I started feeling frustrated, at the time of need not even his silhouette was in sight. Although this rain was neither too heavy nor too light but if I got drenched in the current fall weather then the chances of escaping cold were null. Cold always get accompanied by headache, for the treatment I would have to start taking medicines and if the medicines fails then there would be only one option: Injections……..I was getting scared of my own thoughts so I stopped thinking further.
As I was vacillating between the decisions of whether or not should I step out in the rain Yu Zhi Fei suddenly appeared in front of me. Carrying an umbrella in his hands he lowered his head to look at me. He opened his mouth several times and then finally said: “Yan…Secretary Guan, I can drop you.”
I shook my head, I would rather take an injection for cold than get a help from him.
Yu Zhi Fei regained his composure and added: “I am saying this from the standing of your colleague that I can drop you to your place.”
I was yet to give any response when I heard somebody’s voice from behind: “What other standing do you have, Director Yu?”
I turned my head to find Wang Kai with a smile plastered over his face.
Wang Kai holding an eye-catching umbrella in one hand waved a ‘hi’ from the other hand and started walking towards us. Considering how much I had bullied Wang Kai today I timidly started looking into the opposite direction, was really afraid to look at him……Wang Kai was not a fool, if in retaliation he wanted to exact revenge on me then what should I do?
I shot a glance at the outside, not far from the main gate a tall figure was standing with an umbrella in his hand.
I grinned foolishly. Apparently, Jiang Li still had some conscience.
