Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 214: Envy from All Sides



"Please, make yourself at home!"

"You..." Luo Bing was dumbfounded, especially seeing Xiao Tianyu's unruffled expression, which made her even angrier: "Fine, fine..."

With that said, Luo Bing directly picked up the phone and dialed into Ye Qingcheng's office. Soon, the call connected: "President, I want to fire someone!"

"Who!" came the response from the other end.

"Xiao Tianyu!" Luo Bing said.

"If he hasn't committed any major mistakes, just consider him a freeloader in the planning department, don't take it to heart!" Ye Qingcheng replied.

"He doesn't work during office hours and even plays games!"

"Let him be, don't bother with it!"

"..." Luo Bing opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Since the president said that, what else could she say? Hanging up the phone, Xiao Tianyu casually said, "Should I start packing up to leave now?"

Threat?

A massive threat, considering Luo Bing had the phone on speaker, so clearly Xiao Tianyu heard her conversation with Ye Qingcheng, and now he's saying this—isn't it a threat?

Moreover, Luo Bing couldn't understand why every time she bickered with Xiao Tianyu, she was always the one who lost out?

"Fine, fine~ You're great, go out and play your games!" Luo Bing snorted coldly. This guy was infuriating; she really felt like grabbing a knife and chopping Xiao Tianyu into pieces.

Xiao Tianyu walked out of the office with a straight face, sat at his workstation, and started playing games. Not just playing, he turned up the volume so loud that even Luo Bing in the office could clearly hear the battle sounds of "hey hey ha~".

"This bastard must be doing it on purpose, he must be..." Luo Bing muttered to herself as the other goddesses in the planning department stared blankly at Xiao Tianyu. They had clearly heard the conversation in the office just now.

"Ah, our formidable Manager Luo has finally met her match!"

"Tianyu, I don't admire anyone else, just you!"

"..." The goddesses collectively gave a thumbs up. Previously, he almost angered the president to the point of vomiting blood, and now he made Luo Bing so angry she could barely contain herself. Throughout history, aside from this guy, who could accomplish that?

The goddesses' admiration came from the fact that he played games seriously; he's the first in Qingcheng International to play games and not work.

What's more admirable was that even when clearly in the wrong, he could paint black as white, and the reasoning always seemed to be on his side.

Noon.

The goddesses, with their high heels click-clacking, gathered around Xiao Tianyu, swarming around him like harem beauties aplenty, a sight that made many envious.

Then, Wen Xin smiled and said, "Tianyu, can I treat you to lunch this afternoon? If you're willing to hang out with me, it's not just lunch; I'll let you manage all my assets, and myself too!"

"Don't!" Xiao Tianyu chuckled awkwardly, thinking to himself, I don't even know who to trust with all my wealth.

"Money, beauties, cars—I'm offering it all to you, and you're not the least bit tempted?" Wen Xin showed a hint of melancholy.

Lin Shuya leaned in with a soft smile, "Tianyu, why don't we all marry you? Even an emperor doesn't get such treatment, and more importantly, we're all virgins, quite treasured!"

"You filthy girls, could you stop corrupting my dear Tianyu's pure heart? Even if Tianyu wants it, I alone can satisfy him!" Fang Siying said.

"..." Are we filthy, and you're not? The goddesses shot Fang Siying a dirty look, as if to say you are filthier than us. How could you even say such things, what with wanting and could satisfy? How could you even utter such words?

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Fang Siying asked earnestly.

"What do you think?" The goddesses responded in unison: "If someone asked you to, would you be willing to?"

Pfft~

Beside them, Xiao Tianyu was speechless. Are these women really using me as their punching bag?

"Tianyu, what's wrong? Feel like vomiting? Disgusted by Fang Siying's filthiness?" Shen Jing said seriously, though Xiao Tianyu actually thought, I'm disgusted by all of you, alright? What kind of flirting is this?

So, Xiao Tianyu diverted the topic, saying, "Ladies, if we're going out, how can I let you pay? I'll treat you all instead!"

"Lijiang Grand Hotel?" The goddesses asked in unison, their words remarkably in sync, clearly making a lasting impression.

"Isn't that place good?"

"Let's skip it!" the goddesses declined. The kind of people who dined at Lijiang Grand Hotel—they wouldn't go there a second time even if their lives depended on it. Such a chaotic place, not fit for humans to linger.

Then, Cheng Jiaqing, standing tall, suggested with a soft smile, "Tianyu, never mind, with your meager salary of just a few thousand a month, let me treat you instead!"

"No need, this time, I'll choose somewhere upscale!" Xiao Tianyu said seriously, the goddesses' eyes sparkling, "Not going to Lijiang Grand Hotel?"

"Nope!" Xiao Tianyu replied casually. "Let's go!"

The goddesses grabbed Xiao Tianyu, quickly leaving the planning department together, such an entourage of beauties was quite the eye-catcher.

Their conversation was heard clearly by Luo Bing in the office. This bastard, inviting others without inviting me—was just one more person too many? In what way am I inferior to those women?

Luo Bing was quite frustrated, coupled with Xiao Tianyu defying her earlier in the office, she vowed not to rest until she got even.

...

At Qingcheng International Restaurant, the decor was simple but clean. Every piece of glass was spotless and crystal clear.

Arriving at the restaurant, the goddesses were speechless. Was this the upscale place?

Out of 365 days a year, the goddesses probably dined here at least 300 days; no matter how good the food was, they'd be sick of it.

Finally, Wen Xin couldn't hold back and asked, "Tianyu, is this so-called upscale place really here?"

"Doesn't this place beat Lijiang Grand Hotel hands down in upscale?" Xiao Tianyu feigned innocence, though to be fair, this place indeed outclassed Lijiang Street Food by far.

"..." The goddesses were speechless. He wasn't lying after all; this place truly was far more upscale.

Then, as Xiao Tianyu was about to get food, he was immediately pinned down in his seat by the goddesses.

Wen Xin smiled gently, "You are the precious panda of our planning department. How could we let you fetch food? Just sit and wait!"

This analogy, really? Xiao Tianyu was at a loss, but he obediently sat there, oblivious to the envious gazes of many women in the restaurant.

"The women in the planning department are so lucky. When will our design department get such a dream guy, just looking at him is a feast for the eyes!"

"Who can disagree? Throughout Qingcheng International, such a marvelous character got assigned to the planning department; it's too unfair!"

"They just have good luck!"

"..." Quite a few women were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

As for Xiao Tianyu, he had grown used to it, just sitting there, waiting for his many consorts to bring the food. Eventually feeling the surrounding conversation growing a bit irritating, he pulled out his phone, opened a music app, plugged in his earphones, and started listening to songs.
