Chapter 20

"...Mm, I understand, thank you Mr. Mu for telling me this." So he really was a very gentle person; she had really been overthinking it before.

Mu Wei tilted his head and smiled, "Because it's rare to have such a cute female manager, I don't want you to be scared away by them."

Seeing Mu Wei's smile, He Lele felt a hint of warmth in her heart. He was the first owner to take the initiative to smile at her and be friendly to her, making her feel that this job wasn't tragic to the extreme.

"Ribbit ribbit ribbit..." The sound of frogs suddenly rang out in the car.

"Uh, sorry, my text message." He Lele said somewhat awkwardly. Lingyu helped her set this; she hadn't changed it.

Mu Wei watched the front with a smile, focusing on driving.

Unknown number: Didn't I tell you to send me lunch? Where are you?

He Lele looked at the text message, a bit confused. Did someone send it to the wrong person? Soon, the second one came, from the same number.

"Fuck! Dare not to reply to Laozi's message? Want to be fucked, right!"

He Lele frowned.

The third one: "If you don't reply within five seconds, Laozi will come back the day after tomorrow and make you unable to get out of bed for three days!"

She had a very bad premonition. After hesitating for a while, she replied: "May I ask who you are?"

"What's wrong?" Mu Wei asked with concern.

"...I don't know, it seems like someone sent a message to the wrong person."

After a long while, the fourth one finally arrived—

"You fucking ask Laozi who I am? Laozi is the one who fucked you until you cried yesterday!"

☆, Chapter 25: Helping Someone Pick Up Girls

Ruan, Ruan Lin? He Lele couldn't help but turn pale.

"Mr. Mu, did Mr. Ruan want me to send him a meal at noon?"

"Ah!" Mu Wei pretended to suddenly realize, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you. But it doesn't matter, he won't go hungry."

But... she was afraid he wasn't "hungry" in the stomach! He Lele looked at the sentence "unable to get out of bed for three days" on her phone, and a chill spread from the bottom of her heart throughout her whole body.

Just when she didn't know how to reply, the fifth text message came, but it appeared on Mu Wei's phone:

"Do you believe I'll fuck all your concubines? Send it over right now, immediately!"

Mu Wei sneered indifferently. It seemed Ruan Lin was sick of eating boxed lunches. It was just a home-cooked lunch, why be so calculating? But for the sake of his precious lenses, he still dialed the phone—

"Hey, Mine Owner, you've been eating it for so many years, you don't care about this one or two meals, right? I'm in a hurry to see my inspiration angel, I'll come to comfort you next time."

"...Trouble you, please let the manager answer the phone."

Mu Wei raised his eyebrows and handed the phone to He Lele.

"Mr. Ruan?"

"How is your body lately? How is your sleep? I remember you said your waist wasn't very comfortable last time? The weather hasn't been very good lately, take care of yourself! Coming to see me this afternoon? That's really great. Teacher Mu will also come this afternoon, and he can send you on the way. Okay, it's a deal, see you this afternoon. Goodbye."

He Lele didn't say a word, just heard the low, deep, and gentle words coming from the other side, each one making her tremble with fear.

"What did he say?"

"Mr. Ruan asked you to... send me over this afternoon."

"Afternoon? Send dinner? That's fine, go tease him." Mu Wei smiled comfortably and stepped on the accelerator. His luxury SUV sped up at a speed comparable to a sports car.

Looking at the school gate of DongX University, He Lele couldn't help but feel some emotion. She had only graduated a few months ago, but campus life seemed to have been a very, very long time ago...

Walking into Baiwei Bookstore, she browsed the bookshelves and occasionally paid attention to the guests entering the door. The favor Mu Wei wanted her to do was actually very simple—Mu Wei wanted to get to know the girl named Sun Xiaozhuang in the photo, but was worried that his sudden approach would scare her, so he planned to artificially create an encounter.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, the short-haired girl with a cute apple face and a quiet, delicate look really came to the bookstore to return books as Mu Wei said. She quickly walked to the counter and asked:

"Excuse me, has the first volume of 'Bodyguards Can Be Pressed But Not Humiliated' been returned yet?"

"It's here, it's here, it was just returned. You want to borrow the set, right? Pay the deposit..." the boss said briskly.

The short-haired girl looked at the second volume of "Bodyguards Can Be Pressed But Not Humiliated" in He Lele's hand, her face somewhat troubled. He Lele immediately felt that Mu Wei's move was a bit mean... Sure enough, the short-haired girl asked the boss softly:

"Boss, do you have a second set of 'Bodyguards Can Be Pressed But Not Humiliated' here?"

The result, of course, was no. Even if there was, Mu Wei would definitely have borrowed them all in advance, and then... it was her turn to take the stage. She generously gave the second volume to Sun Xiaozhuang, and when Sun Xiaozhuang was embarrassed, she casually said she wanted to visit DongX University. Sun Xiaozhuang immediately enthusiastically volunteered to be her guide.

"Really? That's great, but can you wait a little bit? I have a friend with me."

This friend was naturally—the handsome Mu Wei.

When Mu Wei walked into the store from outside with great spirit, his unique demeanor and masculine, cool face immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the store. He Lele clearly saw the emotion called shyness and excitement appear in Sun Xiaozhuang's eyes.

"Lele, did you borrow the book?"

The focus of everyone's attention shifted to the two of them along with Mu Wei's smile and words, but no one noticed that He Lele, as one of the focuses, suddenly clenched her fists.

"Mm... borrowed, borrowed it, and also met a friend, Xiaozhuang, she promised to take us to vi, visit DongX University. Xiaozhuang, this is Mu Wei."

He Lele's stiff expression made Mu Wei a bit strange, "Lele, are you not feeling well?"

"I, I'm fine, uh, no, my stomach is a bit uncomfortable, Xiaozhuang, do you know where there is a restroom nearby?"

Seeing this, Sun Xiaozhuang was also a bit nervous and quickly took He Lele to a nearby restroom.

"I'll go in by myself, you guys wait for me outside."

Hiding in the restroom as if escaping, He Lele propped her hands on the sink, trembling uncontrollably.

"It's okay, nothing's wrong, they don't have bad intentions. I'm fine, very relaxed, very normal, there's nothing to be afraid of, smile, smile." Looking at herself in the mirror, He Lele kept doing psychological construction.

"Between people and people..." The long-lost phone ringtone rang. He Lele took out her phone while gasping for breath, and her nose couldn't help but feel sore. It was Lingyu... Lingyu always appeared by her side when she needed her most!

"Lingyu..." He Lele called out with a crying voice.

"Lele? Lele, what's wrong? Is your phobia of gazes acting up again?"

Author's Note:

It's hard to control the word count once the plot starts running~~~ headache...

Regarding the reason why it's hard for Lele to find a job~ this chapter also reveals it~~ but I'll talk about the specifics later~~ because Lele herself is downplaying this problem~~

Since there's no meat~~ I originally wanted to say I'd double update today~~ but the next chapter is still too long~~ and the meat was squeezed out again... 5555

☆, Chapter 26: What to Send for Food

"...No, nothing, just missed you so much!" He Lele wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled.

"Lele... if something happens, you must tell me! Don't keep everything in your heart."

"Mm! I know! How have you been lately?"

"Ah... so busy! But my master is really amazing! Even though he's not much older than us, he knows everything and understands everything, and he's handsome and gentle and considerate..."

"...Heart-moved? Then go chase him!"

"Chase? Don't dare! You don't know, although he's usually very gentle, when he's in court, that momentum—if I were the opposing lawyer, I'd definitely be scared to tears! But if my master took the initiative to chase me, I could consider it. Hahahaha..."

"Hehe..."

After chatting with Ren Lingyu for a while, He Lele finally calmed down. When she walked out of the restroom, she found that Mu Wei had already teased Sun Xiaozhuang until she was shy. Afterward, Sun Xiaozhuang took them to visit the campus and they exchanged contact information, so her "help" was considered successfully completed.

On the way back, He Lele could see that Mu Wei was in a very good mood. Although she had wondered why he asked her to choose a girl last night and was acting like he was pursuing her today, but... she didn't want to know anything, didn't want to ask anything.

Dinner was still just the two of them, Mu Wei and her, but because she had to send food to Ruan Lin, she made a few extra dishes, which drew Mu Wei's praise, saying it was no wonder Ruan Lin insisted on having food sent.

"Lele, you've been busy all day and you're tired. I'll send the lunch box, you rest for a while. Isn't Shentu coming back tonight?"

"Mr. Mu..." He Lele was a bit embarrassed.

"Don't be so polite, just call me Mu Wei. As for Xiaozhuang, I might still need to trouble you." Mu Wei's handsome face was radiant, feeling very much like a "man in love."

He Lele smiled politely, "If there's anything I can do, just tell me directly. The lunch box is already packed. If possible, I'd like to send it over as soon as possible. I'm afraid the insulation won't be good."
