Chapter 768: He’s doing it for your own good

Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

“This is a proper workplace, of course you have to pay attention to your image!” Zhao Lanlan put her hands on it again, “Yuan Yuan, it’s not easy to find a job, so settle down. You’ll have a good time at work, but after work, you can do whatever you want. Did you buy this suit yourself?”
“Of course not, it’s thousands of dollars, how can I afford it?”
“Several thousand?” Now this kind of amount was an absolute luxury for Zhao Lanlan. Especially now that she wasn’t working again.
“He bought it for you?” She asked tentatively.
“Of course, he had to ask me to come to work, how can I come if he doesn’t buy me clothes?” Zhao Yuanyuan bristled, her attitude rather impatient.
“Don’t say that, he found you a job for your own good. Otherwise it wouldn’t be fun to loiter and play every day, would it?” Zhao Lanlan was still persuading her sister.
Zhao Yuanyuan bristled, “Sis, can I not go to work? I’m sick of it! It’s nice to work at the office, but what kind of work is it? It’s noon, and I’m printing this and that for people, and anyone can yell at me. Well, just now, but just less a page, just scolded me for five minutes. With these five minutes, can be retyped a copy!”
“Sis, I really don’t want to go to work.” Zhao Yuanyuan hugged Zhao Lanlan’s arm and begged.
Zhao Lanlan was helpless and a bit angry with her, but just patiently coaxed her, “Yuan Yuan, you are no longer a child now, you are an adult. You’re an adult, you can do it yourself, you’ll have enough to eat, I don’t have to tell you that you understand that. I don’t need to tell you that. A young girl can’t afford not to go to work. Since you didn’t do a good job, review yourself and try to do a good job next time without giving the other person a chance to scold you, won’t that do?”
“But these jobs are really boring! Besides, it’s just 2, 000 dollars a month, which isn’t enough to spend. I might be able to find something better on my own.”
“Did you find one then?” Zhao Lanlan’s face straightened, “After looking for a job for so long, didn’t you find one? Don’t be low-eyed, do well with what you can handle now, and you’ll have other opportunities in the future.”
Being lectured, Zhao Yuanyuan deflated her mouth and stopped talking.
“Well, get your ass back to work and don’t lose any time. Be good.”
Zhao Yuanyuan had even more dissatisfaction in her heart, but now she didn’t dare to say anything, only drooping her head and walking back. After taking two steps, she turned back, “Sister, did you make up with Xia Feiqing?”
Zhao Lanlan was stunned and thought for a moment before saying, “… Not yet.”
“Better not! I hate him to death!”
Zhao Lanlan was stunned and subconsciously asked, “Why? Not only did he find you a job, he also found you a house and bought you clothes. And you still hate him?”
“I don’t care about anything other than the house.” Zhao Yuanyuan was a little annoyed, “He’s meddling too much!”
Every time I meet her, I have to warn her to stop getting high, stop drinking, and stop hanging out with those friends. Ha! Funny, who does he think he is? And has the nerve to say something about him sending her to rehab!
“He’s doing you a favor, you can’t think that way.”
“Sis, why are you helping him?” Jo Yuanyuan looked at her.
“Didn’t you used to want me to make up with him? Why the radically different attitude now?”
“That’s because I didn’t know he was such a chicken shit before. Besides, didn’t you find another one? That one looks rich too, we don’t have to have to accompany him!”
Zhao Lanlan frowned gently, before she could speak, Zhao Yuanyuan t wrinkled her eyebrows and suddenly raised her voice, “You’re not really going to forgive him, are you? Sister, the things you … did in the past.”
“Alright, don’t mention the past.” Zhao Lanlan cut Zhao Yuanyuan’s words off, she didn’t want to think about the past right now, “You’ve been out for a while, hurry up and go in, don’t dawdle.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll go in then. But don’t get good with Xia Feiqing, or I’ll be killed by him one day!” If she was really sent to a drug rehab center by him, she wouldn’t die a horrible death.
Zhao Lanlan stood there in a daze, looking at Zhao Yuanyuan’s disappearing back and sighing somewhat helplessly.
***
From her current attitude, it seems that if she were to forgive Xia Feiqing, I’m afraid, Yuan Yuan would be the first to say no.
Without staying here any longer, Zhao Lanlan took a taxi to another place.
Furniture City.
She walked straight to the section of bedding supplies and was immediately greeted warmly by an attendant. Before she could start browsing, the cell phone in her bag rang again.
“Where?” Xia Feiqing’s voice came from the other end.
“At Furniture City.” She returned as she reached up and lightly pressed the mattress one at a time, trying for comfort.
“What are you doing in Furniture City? Do you want to buy anything?” Xia Feiqing felt puzzled.
“Well …,” she hesitated, but answered honestly, “I want to buy a bed.”
“Bed?” Xia Feiqing was in a trance for a moment and suddenly realized. It couldn’t be, it was related to his sore shoulders from sleeping, right?
“Uh-huh. I’ll buy a proper bed for the study, and turn around, or I’ll just sleep in the study.” She bit her lip and tried to rationalize her buying a bed as much as possible. As if explaining, and as if convincing herself, “You’re the host, I’m the guest, it’s not appropriate for me to keep occupying your bed.”
On the phone, his breathing was slightly heavier. Zhao Lanlan gripped the phone tightly, knowing that she had probably pissed him off. She opened her mouth to say something, but, for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
“Where are you?” Eventually, it was he who spoke first, “Say the exact address.”
“In the biggest furniture city here on Marang Street, why?”
“Wait for me for five minutes, I’ll be right over.” Xia Feiqing said, not giving her the chance to say anything else, and directly hung up the phone.
Listening to the beeping sound on the other side of the phone, Zhao Lanlan froze for a while and put the phone away. Perhaps it was because she had just had a bit of a bad time with him, and her mood was a bit depressed along with it.
The waitress came up and asked her if she could help her, and she only shook her head, taking a seat in a lounge area and waiting patiently for him to come over.
She fiddled with her cell phone in boredom.
I don’t know how long it took, but a large hand directly jerked her cell phone away. She raised her eyes in surprise, and her hand was already being pulled by a large hand.
“Get up, I’ll take you back.” He was in a really bad mood, the lines of his face were taut, and even his handsome features looked alarming at the moment.
“Xia Feiqing!” Zhao Lanlan didn’t want to leave just like that, “I came to see the bed, I haven’t even started to see it yet, and you’re pulling me away!”
“What bed to look at? No need!” Xia Feiqing didn’t look back.
“Need, you need to let go quickly, it’s hurting me to pull.” The hard way didn’t work, so she had to resort to a roundabout policy.
Sure enough, he let go of her in a flash. Pausing in his steps, he turned back to her and looked at her coolly, “Did you have to clean the slate with me to make you happy?”
