My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 342 Why Can’t You Be More Indulgent with Me?
Chapter 342: Chapter 342 Why Can’t You Be More Indulgent with Me?
She was always very grateful to this sister who had been taking care of her since the company was established.
When she saw Yu Qiao Qiao, Phoenix smiled and tousled her hair, praising, "Qiao Qiao, you look even more beautiful today~"
Yu Qiao Qiao’s eyes crinkled into crescents with happiness.
Phoenix clearly adored Yu Qiao Qiao, as she gladly smoothed Yu Qiao Qiao’s hair again and then pointed towards the clay sculpture room, "Let’s go to your office first. Your friend is waiting for you there."
Although the sign on the door always read "Clay Sculpture Room," Chen Yan never let anyone else use it.
Therefore, privately, everyone unofficially regarded the clay sculpture room as Yu Qiao Qiao’s office.
Thus, when she heard what Phoenix had said, Yu Qiao Qiao looked up curiously and asked, "Who is it?"
Phoenix pursed her lips and replied, "Yang Nuan Nuan."
Phoenix never really liked Yang Nuan Nuan. She thought this little girl, although capable, always seemed to wear a mask—somewhat fake.
However, as a career woman, she knew there was no need to voice her dislike, so she only subtly expressed her opinion when talking to Yu Qiao Qiao, as a reminder for Yu Qiao Qiao to be careful around her roommate.
Yet innocent Yu Qiao Qiao evidently couldn’t understand the subtleties in Phoenix’s words. Hearing Phoenix speak like this, she still looked up and sweetly smiled, "Okay, Sister Phoenix."
With that, she stepped toward the clay sculpture room.
Watching Yu Qiao Qiao’s retreating figure, Phoenix slowly shook her head.
She always felt that someone as innocent as Yu Qiao Qiao would sooner or later get betrayed by Yang Nuan Nuan and end up counting money for her...
Upon reaching the clay sculpture room, sure enough, Yang Nuan Nuan was there waiting.
She was dressed in a fluffy white outfit today, with a warm smile on her face and glasses that added a scholarly aura, making her appear even gentler.
When she saw Yu Qiao Qiao, she greeted her with a smile, "Qiao Qiao, I didn’t have anything to do today, so I came to hang out with you. You’re not busy, right?"
Seeing Yang Nuan Nuan, Yu Qiao Qiao was also very happy, having the best relationship with Yang Nuan Nuan in the dormitory.
Or it could be said... everyone had the best relationship with Yang Nuan Nuan.
So she shook her head softly and whispered, "Sister Nuan Nuan, I’m not busy."
Then she sat next to Yang Nuan Nuan, put down her backpack, started taking out her notebook and pens, and curiously asked, "Did President Rou come back today?"
Yang Nuan Nuan, capable as she was, took care of company affairs when President Rou was not around.
Initially, there were some murmurs within the company, but after everything was found to be in perfect order and Chen Yan also had no objections, everyone slowly accepted it.
So, she was usually busy.
Only when President Rou returned to take charge did she have some free time.
Upon hearing Yu Qiao Qiao’s question, she nodded and said, "Yes. ’Big Star Detective’ has got on track, we’ve recorded two episodes, and after my mom confirmed there were no issues, she came back first."
Then she added, "My mom said, probably after recording two more episodes and by next week, Sister Man Man will be back."
Hearing Yang Nuan Nuan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao responded, "Oh," and then blankly said, "Sister Man Man has indeed been out for a long time. She only came back for one day last time."
After speaking, she unlocked her phone, opened Alipay, then opened her notebook, picked up her pen, and started writing things down as if she was keeping accounts.
Yang Nuan Nuan watched her indifferent expression and bit her lip in frustration.
’Girl, girl! Do you not realize Sister Man Man is your rival in love?’
’Moreover, as I’ve observed, her relationship with Chen Yan is certainly not ordinary, even progressing faster than yours!’
’Can’t you be a bit more alert?’
Much like how Phoenix gave hints to Yu Qiao Qiao, Yang Nuan Nuan was also hinting at Yu Qiao Qiao.
Sadly, the hints they gave might be too subtle. Yu Qiao Qiao really couldn’t understand...
In her mind, the return of Sister Man Man to Qin Island clearly signaled a new beginning since she could go and hang out with Sister Man Man again.
Yang Nuan Nuan brooded for a while, then raised her head and looked at Yu Qiao Qiao’s account book, asking, "Are you keeping track of your expenses?"
Yu Qiao Qiao adorably nodded her head, not lifting her eyes as she said, "Yes. Now that I live with Chen Yan and Brother Ying, my daily expenses are quite high, and I’m somewhat short on cash, so I need to record it daily to see where I can save some money."
Hearing Yu Qiao Qiao’s words, Yang Nuan Nuan looked surprised and asked, "You’re running short on money?"
"Didn’t Chen Yan give you a lot of money?"
Yu Qiao Qiao meekly said, "Yes... but that’s Chen Yan’s money. I’m just keeping it for him. I can’t spend it."
Having said that, she paused her writing, looked at Yang Nuan Nuan, and said, "Sister Nuan Nuan, it was you who told me. You said his business is hard, and if an accident happened, the money I saved could help him make a comeback."
Yu Qiao Qiao tilted her head, contemplating, "So, I thought, since that’s the case, I’d better save more. I simply saved up all the dividends and bonuses he gave me before."
She opened her hands and gestured, "I’ve saved a lot of money~"
Yang Nuan Nuan was stunned for a moment.
Then she asked, "What do you usually spend on?"
Yu Qiao Qiao pouted proudly, "I have a salary~"
She was as happy as a child getting chocolate, "Chen Yan pays me a salary of 1800 a month. That’s all mine. Way more than I used to earn from my part-time job."
Yang Nuan Nuan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she couldn’t.
1800 yuan...
That was the cost of one of her outfits, or a big meal out with President Rou. Yet, it was Yu Qiao Qiao’s monthly spending.
No, that’s not right...
It was the monthly spending for Yu Qiao Qiao, Chen Yan, and Zhao Ying...
Yang Nuan Nuan felt a pang in her chest.
She felt that Chen Yan certainly hadn’t anticipated things turning out like this.
And what did he do to deserve a girl as good as Yu Qiao Qiao!
That jerk!
Only...
She might be his match.
Yang Nuan Nuan massaged her temples, allowing herself to calm down.
Yu Qiao Qiao, oblivious to Yang Nuan Nuan’s unusual behavior, continued humming a tune, head down, writing something.
Yang Nuan Nuan sneaked a glance and noticed Yu Qiao Qiao’s notebook listed items like "fridge magnets," "decorative paintings," "small bottles for plants," and other stuff.
’Are you even skimping from that 1800 yuan for home decor?’
’That’s too hard...’
’No wonder there’s not enough to spend...’
Yang Nuan Nuan felt inexplicably heavy-hearted because she was reminded of the 30 million in her hands.
According to Yu Qiao Qiao, who had to save even the thousand yuan, giving herself those 30 million was a type of trust.
If she couldn’t accomplish her task, that would be truly inhumane.
Thinking about making a 10% profit, Yang Nuan Nuan found herself thinking about that "Conman Uncle."
The image of "Conman Uncle" began to merge with Chen Yan in her mind.
She pondered in her heart...
’Could they be the same person?’
’Should I test him?’
....
Meanwhile, compared to Yu Qiao Qiao’s quiet morning, Chen Yan’s side was much more noisy.
He and Zhao Ying stepped out of the elevator on the 16th floor, coming face to face with Qin Ming and He Mengxue.
After greeting them, Qin Ming immediately joked with Chen Yan, "Brother Chen, you really can’t hold your liquor. Just one cup of fruit wine and you’re down."
Chen Yan glared at him.
Was it really that my alcohol tolerance is poor?
It was your sister who deliberately drugged me!
Fruit wine...
Have you ever seen a 60-degree-proof fruit wine?
Try one yourself and see! I guarantee you’ll go ’sweet dreams’ just like me.
Thinking this, Chen Yan grew even more annoyed.
His expression darkened, and then he waved He Mengxue over and said directly, "President Xue, let’s talk in my office."
Seeing Chen Yan’s change of expression, sharp as Qin Ming was, he was still confused, not knowing which of his words had been wrong.
Could it be because of the joke about Brother Chen’s alcohol tolerance?
That shouldn’t be right. Brother Chen isn’t a petty person...
While Zhao Ying’s eyes sparkled with excitement: gossip, gossip... this smells like gossip!
Only He Mengxue, who knew the whole story, followed Chen Yan to the office with a light smile, not caring at all.
Chen Yan’s office was what he referred to as his "Executive Office."
The two entered the office, and before Chen Yan could speak, He Mengxue took the initiative and said, "President Chen, I lied to you last night."
"Actually~~nothing happened between us."
He Mengxue’s proactive approach caused Chen Yan to pause.
But her response confirmed what Chen Yan had checked last night.
Chen Yan nodded, about to speak.
He Mengxue continued, saying, "I took off your underwear to create a misunderstanding."
Seeing He Mengxue so frankly admitting the truth, Chen Yan’s frown deepened, and he asked, "Why?"
He Mengxue looked intently at Chen Yan, her eyes confident and seductive, "Because, I like you. And..."
"Since you’re already toying with two girls, can’t you toy with one more?"
Chen Yan: ??
