Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss-Chapter 603 - 577: The Directionally Challenged and the Pleasant to the Eye

Chapter 603: Chapter 577: The Directionally Challenged and the Pleasant to the Eye

Xiaoqiang temporarily left, and the one-week vacation he won for Qian seemed too long. Just then, the radio station called asking when Qian could return, as the new host couldn’t hold the show and the ratings were plummeting. Qian thought she might as well go back to work since she had nothing else to do.

Upon arrival, the producer saw her as if she was a long-lost relative, directly rushing over.

"Meiwei! You’re finally back! I was about to develop depression; please talk some sense into me!"

"What’s wrong?"

"Do you know who replaced you while you were away? It was the Rain God! I’ve never worked with her before, and I had no idea how different she was behind the scenes. Working with her is exhausting; she asked me to filter listener calls, wouldn’t take calls if too complex or taking too long. There was so much she wouldn’t handle. That’s fine, but I’d transfer calls to her, and she couldn’t control the situation, failing to answer audience questions. She also misused her humor from hosting comedy shows, interrupting and made one crying listener who was sharing her misfortune almost suicidal. Her husband made a scene at the station, and the Rain God pushed all the blame on me, saying I didn’t filter the calls properly. Sniff, sniff!"

Fortunately, the director was wise enough not to blame anyone; otherwise, I would have lost my job!

Compared to this, Meiwei is still amazing. Though she doesn’t pretend to be a goody-goody and build relations everywhere, often appearing aloof, her work skills are excellent. It’s not about recognizing the goods, but comparing them. Having Meiwei back is a blessing!

Good host versus bad host: Hosting a psychological talk show marks the difference. Ten Ye Xiaoyus couldn’t match Qian’s control and professionalism.

Seeing Qian host effortlessly, the director was so moved, almost in tears.

Meiwei is still the best!

No need to filter listeners, no need to suffer cold stares. Time flies with Meiwei; having been tormented by Ye Xiaoyu for two days, returning to cooperation with Qian almost had background music playing the happy days. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Qian successfully finished the program, packed up, and drove home. Passing the barbeque shop, she fondly remembered the great times eating skewers with Yu Minglang, and her stomach growled. No man spoiling her, she decided to buy herself some snacks.

As she headed into the barbeque place, a shifty guy stumbled out, aiming to deliberately bump into Qian. Calmly, Qian held her self-defense spray ready in her pocket.

With Xiaoqiang absent, and having received those kinds of calls, she naturally became vigilant after night shifts, carrying some self-defense devices.

Besides the spray, she also carried a small stun baton on her waist. Though illegal, at critical moments who wouldn’t carry such a thing for peace of mind during night shifts?

"Hey miss, why alone so late? No one’s here to accompany you? Want to have some drinks with us and later play fun games together? Satisfaction guaranteed~"

The alcohol-reeking man stood in front of Qian, scanning her with a very unfriendly look.

"You? Hehe, not worth it." Qian stayed calm, knowing the more panicked one is, the more arrogant people like him become.

"Damn, pretending with me! So ungrateful—ah!"

The thug covered his eyes, sprayed by Qian! Qian sure isn’t afraid of these petty thugs.

Just as Qian was ready to pull out her stun baton for this rude man to "enjoy a bit more," suddenly a slightly raspy yet pleasing female voice resonated beside her.

"Miss, save the electricity; I’ll handle him manually with the environment in mind!"

Qian turned her head, seeing a girl at least 170cm tall, holding a bunch of meat skewers standing next to her. Pretty, but with uniquely toned skin—a sunny wheat color, not black but healthily tanned, leaving a positive impression at first glance.

Generally, girls favor fair skin, yet this girl’s darker tone makes her charming and easily noticeable in a crowd, even more distinct with her conversational and striking looks.

"Hey, a grown man, drunk-pseudo-madness, bullying girls? Real classy?"

"You nasty women... won’t beat you if you leave!" The sprayed man blinked hard, eyes reddened, crying from the sting but unwilling to be scared by two women.

"Oh, aside from my Lang, actually there aren’t many who could outfight me! You’re way off! Miss, hold my skewers, eating some while hungry won’t hurt, it’s my treat!"

This healthily toned girl stepped forward, pulled Qian behind her, and casually handed her grilled skewers.

She met a Good Samaritan; her swift movements, with a long leg kicking the troublesome man’s stomach in no time.

A trained fighter!

Qian noticed right away that this girl was something special.

Typically, girls differ in strength compared to men, but trained ones can overpower these shirkers any day; just one kick forced the guy backward, she agilely stretched her ankle.

"Disgrace like you taints my martial arts champion honor. Bully women again, and next time I’ll cripple you, scram!"

The drunkard sobered and ran away in disgrace.

"Brave enough to harass, yet cowardly to face consequences. I curse you to forever eat poorly cooked skewers!" The tall girl stylishly flipped her middle finger.

Turning back to Qian, Qian handed her back the skewers.

"Thank you, still want some? It’s on me."

"No need, I’m Yu Liumei and love to shout for justice on the road. By the way, miss, do you live nearby?"

"Yes."

"Then, you know how to get here? " the girl pulled out a piece of paper, hesitantly asking.

"I took a cab here to find someone; the driver dropped me off here then left. I circled this area three times without finding the place, ended up getting lost..."

Qian glanced at the address on the paper, checked it twice, "You’re directionally challenged."

It was a statement because the residential area was right across the street from the barbeque shop, and the address and building number on the paper were all too familiar to Qian.

Because it’s her home.

"Miss! How did you do it, immediately finding out my deeply hidden secret!" Yu Liumei wondered at Qian; how did she know her directional deficiency?

"The human brain’s hippocampus contains direction, location, and network cells, helping us orientate. Some people’s hippocampus is naturally underdeveloped, hence deficient in navigation skills."

"Although I don’t understand, your explanation pleases me. It’s not my fault for lacking direction, blame my parents for my congenital deficit!"

"What brought you here?" Qian checked twice, confirming the house number’s her place.

"I’m here to find my cousin’s fiancée."

"Cousin?" Could it be Xiaoqiang?
