Chapter 1482: I

A single sentence from Old Master Wang made Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes widen.

The next second, a ball of fiery anger began to gather in her chest!

She felt that Wang Sinian was simply setting her up!

Old Master Wang, however, felt that such an arrangement was excellent!

He said with a face full of smiles, "Alright, since no one objects, I will arrange the subsequent matters!"

"No, I..."

Before Xu Xiaoxiao could finish her sentence, Old Master Wang hung up the phone directly.

When Xu Xiaoxiao dialed back, it showed that the line was busy.

It's over, it's over. This... could he be arranging Wang Sinian's job right now?

Xu Xiaoxiao's hands and feet went cold, thinking, how could everything come so suddenly!?

At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao was in no mood to continue eating.

She thought for a moment, then hurriedly flipped through her call logs and called Wang Sinian again.

After the call connected, Xu Xiaoxiao heard a burst of noisy music.

And amidst the music, there was the faint sound of men and women laughing.

Wang Sinian said something into the phone, but unfortunately, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't hear a single word.

After half a minute, the clamor in the phone gradually faded away.

Then, Xu Xiaoxiao finally heard Wang Sinian say, "Something up?"

"Indeed, I heard you want to take the initiative to be my assistant?!"

Wang Sinian felt Xu Xiaoxiao's question was inexplicable, so he retorted, "What do you mean 'be your assistant', I..."

Halfway through his sentence, Wang Sinian suddenly fell silent.

Xu Xiaoxiao waited for a while, but didn't hear a sound, so she frowned and muttered, "What's going on? Is the signal bad?"

"It's not that... I just suddenly remembered, I think I did mention it to Grandpa."

"What, you..."

Realizing that Xu Xiaoxiao was about to lose her temper, Wang Sinian hurriedly explained, "But that was just angry talk! How could I possibly really be your assistant!"

So what if it was angry talk? The old man believed it!

And not only did he believe it, he even put it into action!!

Xu Xiaoxiao felt her temples throbbing, and the words she spoke were squeezed out from between her teeth: "Your grandfather just called and said he wants to find my superior to arrange for you to be my assistant!"

"Huh?"

"Once the superior arranges an open position, then you'll have no choice but to come to work!"

"I don't want to!"

"Since you don't want to, then handle your grandfather! Don't drag me into this!!!"

Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly roared, startling the people around her.

Wang Sinian was also startled.

But he still felt he was very innocent, so he said, "Clearly, I'm the one being implicated by you!"

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao sneered, "Can you have some sense of responsibility as a person!?"

Wang Sinian was not shirking responsibility; he said righteously, "I was living quite freely abroad, but it was my grandfather who brought you up, saying you were very excellent, and even told my parents that I should learn from you, which is why I returned to the country!"

Wang Sinian explained very earnestly.

But this explanation only made Xu Xiaoxiao more firmly believe:

Wang Sinian truly has no sense of responsibility! Whenever he encounters an issue, he pushes the blame onto others!! How shameless!!!

Xu Xiaoxiao gripped the phone tightly, roaring internally.

And as if Wang Sinian could read minds, he asked, "Are you secretly scolding me in your heart? Hey, with this time, you'd better think of a way to avoid appearing in the other person's life."

Hmph, after saying so much, this is the only thing that sounds somewhat reliable!

Xu Xiaoxiao's lips moved, preparing to say something.

But before her words could leave her mouth, she heard someone on the other end of the phone call Wang Sinian's name, urging him to go back to drinking.

Wang Sinian didn't even hesitate and said to Xu Xiaoxiao, "I have things to attend to, think about it yourself."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and continued to live freely.

And Xu Xiaoxiao stared at the phone, wearing an expression of disbelief.

This person... is truly shameless!!

Also, what right does he have to tell her to think of a way!

If he himself isn't worried, why should anyone else bother with this concern!?

The more Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it, the angrier she became.

In the end, she stopped caring, stuffed her phone back into her pocket, and turned her grief and indignation into an appetite, eating with great gusto in the snack shop.

Of course, it was impossible for Xu Xiaoxiao to completely ignore it.

She planned to tell her superior when she went to work the next day that she did not need an assistant.

However, what Xu Xiaoxiao didn't expect was...

When she went to work the next day, she actually saw Old Master Wang leading Wang Sinian to handle the onboarding procedures!!

Heavens, is the action this fast!

Xu Xiaoxiao looked shocked.

And as for Wang Sinian, he was yawning incessantly.

He had drunk too much last night and wanted to catch up on sleep today, but he was called up by his grandfather early in the morning, saying there was something very important.

As it turns out...

That's it?

Wang Sinian really wanted to curl his lip.

But when he saw the look of shock on Xu Xiaoxiao's face, his mood inexplicably improved.

He even grinned at Xu Xiaoxiao, giving off an entirely devil-may-care vibe.

Xiao Xiao could not bring herself to laugh.

Taking advantage of the moment the director was talking to Elder Wang, she dragged Wang Sinian to the side and demanded, "What about your solution?"

"Didn't I tell you to think of one?"

"Why should I think of it? This is clearly your business!"

"This is your business too, alright."

"But the cause of the matter lies with you!"

"Wrong, the cause is clearly you."

These two people, while seemingly talking, were actually engaged in ineffective communication.

Realizing she was just wasting her breath, Xu Xiaoxiao shot Wang Sinian a cold glare.

But the next instant, Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly curled her lips into a smile.

This smile of hers... was full of calculation.

Wang Sinian tensed up immediately and asked, "What are you plotting in that head of yours?"

"What could I be plotting? I'm just lamenting that you're going to be in for some bad luck!"

"How so?"

"Because you're my assistant, and if you piss me off, you're going to have a hard time!"

Although Xu Xiaoxiao did not want to see Wang Sinian, she still stood at the top of the food chain.

Dealing with a Wang Sinian was more than enough for her!

Having figured this out, Xu Xiaoxiao's mood improved just a little bit.

Wang Sinian, however, sighed and said, "A dignified university teacher actually using underhanded tactics against a new colleague—what a moral decay."

"Hmph, with you, there's no need to speak of morality!"

"Don't be like that, I'm innocent too."

Innocent?

Just looking at his face, he had absolutely nothing to do with being innocent!

Xu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.

Little did she know, the process of these two chatting secretly over here had been seen by Elder Wang over there.

Elder Wang even said to the director, "Look, the two of them are already communicating; I believe they will surely cooperate seamlessly in the future!"

"Exactly!"

The director responded, then beckoned to Wang Sinian and arranged, "In the future, your workstation will be right next to Xiao Xu's."

Wang Sinian was indifferent to it.

But Xu Xiaoxiao was so depressed!

From now on, seeing each other every time she looked up or down—it was truly stifling!

Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was complaining internally, the director said to her again, "You should take good care of him in the future. After all, Xiao Wang is a newcomer, and you should represent the school and be a bit more enthusiastic toward him."

"Don't worry, I will definitely be very en-thu-si-as-tic!"
