Chapter 701: I Hope You Find Another Boyfriend
“Ring… Ring… Ring.”
The crisp ringtone of a cellphone echoed in the quiet night, adding some life to the night.
When the Clown Sea Serpent heard the ringtone, he glanced at Janet before reaching into his windbreaker and took out his phone. With one hand, he answered the phone. “Hello, Sister Little Deeny.”
Just by looking at the Clown Sea Serpent’s appearance, anyone would easily think that he was 25 or 26 years old. In the end, he addressed Little Deeny as “Sister”. Obviously, he was trying to curry her favour.
On the other hand, Little Deeny obviously seemed to be familiar with this nickname, hence she said, “Master wants to talk to you.”
Upon hearing Little Deeny mention Master, the Clown Sea Serpent immediately became more serious and said respectfully, “Alright.”
Hearing that Little Deeny had said Su Yang was calling, Janet got closer with the intention of listening to Su Yang’s orders.
A moment later, Su Yang’s voice came through the phone. “Clown Sea Serpent, Janet, I’m calling you because there’s something I want to tell you.”
Then, Su Yang told them about the launch of the rocket and that he needed an American gang or company to operate the rocket launch. Therefore, he needed the Clown Sea Serpent and Janet to change their target from eliminating King Latin to controlling it. Alternatively, they could use the organization’s power to conceal the rocket.
After the Clown Sea Serpent and Janet heard this, they exchanged looks with widened eyes. ‘How are we supposed to control them? We’ve almost wiped out the organization, yet now we’re being asked to gain control of them. Are you kidding me?’
Although they were complaining in their hearts, Su Yang did not give them a chance to explain and simply said, “I’ll be waiting for your good news then.” After that, he hung up.
When the call ended, the Clown Sea Serpent and Janet felt that the night in the tropical area of Hawaii was actually a little chilly.
The two stood at the corner of the street for a long time. In the end, it was Janet who spoke first. “How should we do this then?”
A wry smile appeared on the Clown Sea Serpent’s face. “You’re asking me? I’m the one who should be asking that question myself.”
Then, he scratched his messy hair and a troubled expression appeared on his face.
After a moment, he said, “No matter, we’ve still got to complete the mission Master has given us. We won’t be going tonight, so let’s take our time to think about it and come up with a good plan. Who knows, we might just be able to take control of the organization.”
“I already have some plans, but… There’s going to be some risk in it.”
Janet looked at the Clown Sea Serpent. “Okay.”
…
The night passed uneventfully and the next day, Su Yang woke up early. Then, he washed up and made breakfast with the [Grass-Eating Iron Pot]. As he had more than enough time that day, he made another set of lunch for Chu Xia.
After everything was prepared, Su Yang put the lunchbox into his bag and ran towards the office.
Right after Su Yang left the villa, he bumped into Pan Zhaodi.
Or rather… Pan Zhaodi had woken up early, packed everything and was already waiting at the entrance of the villa.
When Su Yang saw her, he waved at her. “Morning, Sister Zhaodi.”
Pan Zhaodi hummed and nodded her head in acknowledgement.
‘I feel like she’s more like the boss than I am…’
“Would you like to drive there or run?” asked Mrs. Zhao.
Su Yang thought for a while. “You drive, I’ll run.”
Pan Zhaodi did not question Su Yang’s decision and just turned to get the car started, while Su Yang started jogging without waiting for her.
Shortly after, Pan Zhaodi caught up with him in the Mercedes-Benz. When she reached Su Yang’s side, she slowed down and followed Su Yang.
Therefore, the pedestrians on the road saw a scene that only appeared in idol dramas, where one person runs on the sidewalk, while the other drives in a luxury car.
The only difference was that in the dramas, it would be a girl running while a boy drove beside them. However, In reality, it was the complete opposite.
This made many people turn to look at the two of them curiously. In fact, they were even discussing whether this was the live version of the legendary “I don’t want to work hard anymore” incident.
Especially after seeing Pan Zhaodi’s cold but pretty face in the car, these passersby were all envious and jealous. ‘If those rich women are all as young and beautiful as she is, I wouldn’t want to work hard anymore too!’
Actually, they were not drooling over Pan Zhaodi’s beauty, but they truly wanted to experience that kind of life!
By the time Su Yang arrived at his office, he was already sweating profusely from his jog.
Hence, Pan Zhaodi stopped the car and took out a clean towel from her bag before passing it to Su Yang.
Then, Su Yang took it and wiped the sweat off his forehead as he thanked her.
After wiping his sweat, the two went upstairs.
When he reached the second floor, the elevator door opened and Su Yang saw the receptionist.
The receptionist seemed to be in high spirits today as she stood in front of the desk, seeming extremely motivated. When she saw Su Yang, she took the initiative to greet him. “Mr. Su, you’ve arrived.”
Su Yang raised his hand. “Hi there, you seem to be in a good mood today.”
The receptionist smiled and said, “That’s right. I finished watching the show, so I slept earlier last night.
“By the way, Mr. Su, the variety show you mentioned is going to be broadcasted tomorrow.”
Su Yang was shocked. “Really? That’s quick.”
The receptionist nodded. “That’s right. I’ve been paying attention to this variety show. I was worried that you would miss it, so I’m reminding you now.”
Su Yang nodded. “Thank you. I really did forget about it for a moment.”
Su Yang added, “You’re such a good person. I hope you’re able to find a boyfriend soon.”
The girl blushed. “I already have a boyfriend, Mr. Su.”
“Oh,” Su Yang replied. “Alright then. I hope that you’re able to find another boyfriend soon.”
The receptionist was speechless.
‘What kind of blessing is this?’
After Su Yang teased the lady, he held back his laughter and entered his office with Pan Zhaodi.
Opening the office door, there was no one inside.
‘I thought that Chu Xia was going to be here, but she isn’t?’
Then, Su Yang looked at the time and saw that it was already 9am. ‘Normally, Chu Xia would’ve written 2,000 words by now.
‘Where has this woman gone?’
At that thought, Su Yang took out his phone and wanted to send Chu Xia a message.
However, as his hand was pressing on WeChat, he ended up putting his phone down after some hesitation. “She’s probably running a little late, I think she should be fine. I would seem like I care if I get all worked up and anxious. That won’t look good for me.”
…
At the same time, in a residential building in the middle of the city, the door to a residential building was suddenly pushed open. Immediately, a young girl with a piece of bread in her mouth and a bag on her back was rushing out of the building.
She was wearing a white shirt inside and a dark blue uniform, coupled with a small skirt that revealed her slender legs. Hence, she looked youthful and energetic.
After she ran out, she took the bread out of her mouth. As she ran towards the bus stop, she muttered anxiously, “Oh no, oh no, I’ve woken up late.”
Just as she was running, a window on the second floor opened. Within it, a woman’s head poked out and shouted at Chu Xia, “Chu Xia.”
Chu Xia heard the sound and turned around as she ran. “Huh? What’s the matter, Mom?”
Chu Xia’s mother shouted, “Don’t be so anxious. Watch where you’re going when you run!”
“Okay, Mom!” Chu Xia replied loudly. Then, she turned her head and realized that she was standing in front of her neighbourhood’s trash bin!
Chu Xia panicked at that moment! She wanted to dodge, but she couldn’t do so in time. She bumped into the trash bin.
The trash bin in their neighborhood was made of iron and was about half the size of a fridge. Hence, Chu Xia’s small arms and legs bumped into it and she instantly fell to the ground and made an “Ouch” sound.
Chu Xia’s mother saw her from upstairs and quickly said, “Ouch, are you alright, dear?”
At that moment, Chu Xia was sitting on the floor with her back facing her mother. Her cute little face was already scrunched up. Her eyes were tightly shut and tears were streaming down her face from the pain. Then, she wrapped her arms around her feet and could not move…
…
Since Chu Xia was not in the office, Su Yang initially only felt a little unfamiliar. However, gradually, he experienced a long-lost… Silence.
He sat alone in the large office. One moment, he was sitting on the sofa, the next moment, he was sitting at his own table and the next moment, he was sitting back in his chair. In any case, he sat wherever he felt was comfortable. In fact, when he was bored of sitting, he would lie down on the sofa and play Honor Of Kings.
When he was playing, Su Yang, of course, would also have his “cheats” on. Hence, he carried on his killing spree and became worshipped by his teammates.
After one round, Su Yang pressed the match button and was about to start the second round when his phone rang.
When Su Yang picked up his phone, he saw that it was from an unknown number.
However, it was definitely not an advertisement since it would be filtered by Little Deeny’s Big Data. Therefore, Su Yang answered the phone call and entered the Hero Selection phase.
As the call connected, a very sweet woman’s voice came from the other end. “Hello, is this Mr. Su?”
As Su Yang fought with his teammates for the lane he wanted, he casually replied, “Yes, that’s me. You are?”
The woman said, “I’m Tong Bingqing from China Construction Bank. You can call me Little Tong.”
Upon hearing that it was from the bank, Su Yang said instinctively, “I’m sorry, but I don’t need a loan.”
The woman quickly said, “You’re mistaken. I’m not offering you a loan.”
Su Yang steered his hero out of the fountain and said, “Oh, I don’t have money either.”
The woman smiled this time. “You’re too modest.”
Su Yang was confused.
That game, Su Yang did not play as a jungler. Instead, he played as a top laner with Lao Fu Zi.
When he reached the top lane and was waiting for the minions, Su Yang took some time to recall what the woman had told him.
After pondering for a while, Su Yang suddenly remembered who this woman was. ‘She’s the beautiful woman that the bank’s credit department has arranged to be my liaison!’
Then, Su Yang recalled that National Construction Bank was the bank that Su Yang had borrowed 50 million yuan from.
Later, he had a falling out with Mr. Shen from the credit department.
Later, not long ago, the president of the China Construction Bank and the director of the credit department had talked about him in his office, saying that they wanted to have another beautiful woman to liaise with Su Yang.
‘Now that I think of it, she should be that woman then.’
Hence, Su Yang put down his phone and said, “Oh, is Mr. Shen’s not going to be responsible for me this time?”
The woman said, “Yes. I’ll be in charge of you from now on.”
Su Yang then asked, “How is Mr. Shen?”
The woman did not answer directly but said vaguely, “Well, he’s no longer a manager here.”
Su Yang understood what the woman meant and nodded. ‘I can see that China Construction Bank is being sincere about this. It seems that the director of the credit department has gone back to investigate and found out about the conflict between Mr. Shen and me. So, in order to retain me as their customer, he’s either demoted or fired Mr. Shen.’
Actually, Su Yang was not someone who would kill a small fry over something like this, so he was satisfied with the way things were handled. Hence, he picked up his phone and started playing his game as he said, “Alright then. In that case, you’re free to come and talk to me if you have any questions. If I find that the conditions are suitable, I’ll agree to deposit some money in your bank.”
When the woman heard this, she quickly said with a sweet voice, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely satisfy you!”
Su Yang was confused.
‘Wait just a minute! Have you misunderstood something?!
‘I’m talking about the conditions of my deposit!’
However, the female employee did not listen to what Su Yang was about to say. Instead, she simply said goodbye and hung up.
Su Yang fell silent when he heard the phone call getting disconnected.
After a moment, there was only one thought in his mind. ‘Has there been a misunderstanding here? I’m a gentleman!’
Just as Su Yang was defending himself, his phone rang again.
