Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 279 - 277: Bursting with Dog Food

Hearing Wu Meiju’s words, the wavering crowd became a little more resolute.

That’s right. Xiang Qing’s direct supervisor was Jennifer, and only Jennifer and the big boss had the authority to determine her fate. Their situations were different from hers. If they offended Wu Meiju, their lives would definitely be difficult from now on.

Wu Meiju scanned the room once more. "Does anyone else wish to state their position?"

This time, only three people refrained from raising their hands. These three held significant sway in the Sales Department. Wu Meiju couldn’t touch them for the time being.

After leaving the Sales Department, Xiang Qing returned to the office, her face gloomy.

Jennifer was reviewing the recent online sales performance. Seeing Xiang Qing come in, he looked up at her.

"Manager, Wu Meiju is going too far." The moment Xiang Qing saw Jennifer, she started venting as if she’d found a long-lost relative.

Jennifer immediately perked up, steepling his fingers under his chin. "Why do you think she’s going too far?"

"It was her idea to set up the street stall, but she forcefully pinned the blame on President Xue. Now she’s rallying the entire Sales Department to protest against him tomorrow. Isn’t that going too far? We all know what she’s trying to do."

Jennifer said nonchalantly, "That is indeed going too far."

"Jennifer, aren’t you and President Xue like brothers? Why aren’t you the least bit anxious when he’s being wrongfully accused?"

"What about you? Why are you so anxious? If I recall correctly, you were the one who recruited President Xue online in the first place, right?"

Xiang Qing returned to her desk. She picked up her thermos, unscrewed the lid, and took a large gulp of red date and goji berry tea. "I was the one who recruited him, but facts have proven his photo editing skills are excellent, haven’t they? Besides, his look is a great match for your designs. I don’t think I did anything wrong in that regard."

Jennifer smiled and leaned back slightly. "You’re right, you didn’t do anything wrong. And don’t worry, President Xue will be fine."

Xiang Qing looked at Jennifer. Seeing the certainty on his face, she suddenly felt that she might have been overthinking things.

"As long as President Xue is fine, that’s all that matters. Alright, I’m heading off for the day."

Xiang Qing quickly tidied up and walked out.

After Xiang Qing left, Jennifer made a call to Xue Yang.

"How are things?"

In truth, he was worried about Xue Yang, too. His concern had grown after today’s incident, especially when he couldn’t reach Xue Yang by phone.

"Don’t worry, it’ll be fine."

Hearing the confidence in Xue Yang’s voice, Jennifer finally relaxed completely.

"So when are you coming to the company tomorrow?"

"Around eleven. I have a class in the morning."

"Alright then. I’ll be ready and waiting for you at the company."

"Thank you, Jennifer."

"Don’t mention it. In a way, what you’re doing is actually helping me."

He was the designer of the trendy clothing line, yet he couldn’t make decisions about his own designs. What kind of situation was that? He didn’t care about the brand; he just wanted more people to like his clothes and wear the things he designed.

"By the way, Tony said he can get the paperwork sorted out by next month. The exact date he’ll come to Dragon Country isn’t set yet, but it won’t be long."

After hanging up with Jennifer, Xue Yang made another call to Yang Xiaozhi.

"Cuz... President Xue."

Receiving Xue Yang’s call, Yang Xiaozhi immediately sat bolt upright, as if his head teacher were doing a surprise inspection.

"Cousin, why are you calling me President Xue like everyone else?"

"Well, you are. Otherwise, I’d have to call you Boss."

"In that case, you should probably stick with President Xue."

Calling him Boss would probably make Xue Yang lose even more hair from stress.

"President Xue, Tony went back to America. There’s been no word from him yet."

"How’s the repair shop?"

"Everything’s fine. I’ve been watching over it every day."

Ever since being swindled by Brother Zhang, Yang Xiaozhi had wised up and started handling everything himself. Now, even for something as small as buying a screw, he had to personally approve it before paying.

"Good. Keep an eye on things for now. Tony should be over around next month."

"Really? That’s great!"

Yang Xiaozhi suddenly felt as if the fog had lifted to reveal a clear sky. He had been waiting for Tony at the door every day, nearly turning into one of those legendary stones of a pining wife.

Pah, not a pining wife’s stone. A pining-for-Tony stone is more like it. If Tony didn’t come back soon, he’d start to think the guy was a swindler.

After the phone calls, Xue Yang finally relaxed completely.

He glanced at the time; it was only seven o’clock. Since Lin Xi had started school, this was the first time he had come home so early. It was, he had to admit, quite boring.

He opened King’s Game.

Compared to when it first launched, the game had been gradually optimized. The canyon map had also become more and more realistic.

Xue Yang went to the world chat interface, where many people were chatting.

"Hey, cutie, wanna team up? If we hit King rank, I’ll send you pics in black stockings."

"Need a support."

"Looking for a duo partner, girls only! Any guys who apply will get wrecked."

Just as he was reading, a team invitation popped up.

Xue Yang looked closely. It was from Cui Hao.

This guy... instead of spending time with his girlfriend, he actually has time to play games.

Xue Yang clicked to join, only to feel a pang of regret.

Inside, it wasn’t just Cui Hao; there was another person.

Their username was "Your Bai Yueguang."

The profile picture was of a very intellectual-looking girl.

Good grief, so it really is his Bai Yueguang.

If Xue Yang guessed correctly, this other person must be Cui Hao’s online girlfriend.

My Bai Yueguang (Cui Hao): "Xue Yang, what a coincidence! Wanna play together?"

Xue Yang’s mouth twitched. This guy is asking the obvious. If I didn’t want to play, why would I have joined the lobby?

He typed a single word into the chat box: "Play."

The lobby immediately entered the matchmaking queue.

Your Bai Yueguang: "Cui Hao, what position does your friend play?"

My Bai Yueguang (Cui Hao): "Xue Yang, Yu Yue is asking what position you play."

Xue Yang: "..."

"I can play anything. You guys pick first."

Your Bai Yueguang: "Then I’ll pick Marksman. Baby, you play support and stick with me."

My Bai Yueguang (Cui Hao): "Okay, baby. I’ll protect you."

Xue Yang: "..."

He was starting to understand why Si Wen always looked like she’d had her fill whenever she was with them. It really was... a lot to stomach.

Xue Yang locked in the jungler, Dian Wei.

The character’s wild voice line filled his ears: "Complete madness!"

Alright then, time to go completely mad.

Throughout the entire match, Cui Hao fell into a state of self-doubt.

Xue Yang had truly gone mad, relentlessly harvesting kills as if he were a rabid dog.

When the game ended, Xue Yang’s Dian Wei had a score of 20-0.

And his Dian Wei had successfully earned the nickname "Mad Dog."

"Xue Yang, did you take the wrong medicine today?"

"I took medicine, alright. Not the wrong one, but the right one."

"You’re being weird. Whatever, I’m going to duo queue with my dear Yu Yue. You play by yourself."
