Chapter 217: I Want Both the Tree and the Forest
At this moment, Xiao Tianyu gave an awkward smile: "Which outfit do you think suits me better...?"
"Mine!"
"Mine!"
"It's mine!"
"..."
Xiao Tianyu looked frustrated: "Can you let me finish speaking, please?"
"Okay, go ahead!" The group of women spoke in unison, eyes filled with anticipation, each hoping that Xiao Tianyu would wear the clothes they bought.
Meanwhile, Luo Bing felt a bit awkward, holding onto the clothes, unsure of what to do.
Especially when Luo Bing saw Xiao Tianyu's indifferent expression, she inexplicably felt uncomfortable.
Of course, if Xiao Tianyu hadn't helped her in the restaurant that day, she wouldn't feel so guilty.
At this time, Xiao Tianyu began to speak earnestly: "I have an idea. You guys play rock-paper-scissors, whoever wins, I'll wear their clothes."
A fair gamble, that way Xiao Tianyu wouldn't offend anyone.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, the group of women were all dumbfounded. They really hadn't expected Xiao Tianyu to suggest such a crazy idea.
"Don't look at me like that, my situation is quite dangerous too, okay!" Xiao Tianyu said helplessly, then properly sat on a chair waiting for the result.
The group of women witnessing this scene, what else could they do? For future happiness, they would fight for it.
The eight women split into four rounds, starting to face off one by one. Xiao Tianyu had a sly smile on his face: "You keep at it, I'll play my game first, let me know when the results are in!"
After speaking, Xiao Tianyu really took out his phone and started playing his game, while the group of women were fiercely competing.
"Rock-paper-scissors!"
"I threw scissors!"
"I threw rock!"
"I threw paper!"
"..." The group of women began to argue.
"Hey, Lin Xin, you're cheating! My scissors are the Dragon Slayer Sword, I can cut through your rock too, why did I lose?"
"That's not how it works, rock counters scissors, do you even know how to play rock-paper-scissors?"
"I don't care, Tianyu has to wear my clothes!"
"..."
Xiao Tianyu was playing his game, and upon hearing the argument among the women, his phone almost fell to the ground. Can't help it, being too attractive really causes trouble.
"Tianyu, tell us, which is stronger, scissors or rock?" Wen Xin asked with a look of seeking help.
Xiao Tianyu replied earnestly: "I'm not sure, it depends on what your scissors are made of!"
"It's made with the material of the Dragon Slayer Sword!"
"So it can cut through iron like mud, right?" Xiao Tianyu said.
"Of course!" Wen Xin nodded.
Pfft~
Lin Xin felt like spitting blood, how could it be like this? Ever since rock-paper-scissors existed, rock breaks scissors, it's never been this way!
"What about my paper then?" Lin Shuya asked.
"You tell me, obviously it's cut by the scissors!"
"That's not right, if your scissors are made of special material, then my paper must be made of special material too. Haven't you heard of Celestial Silk? It's impenetrable by blades and guns, my paper is made from Celestial Silk!"
"..."
Everyone has their reasoning, but no one is willing to admit defeat. Xiao Tianyu looked exasperated: "Listen, before you start the game, can you set some rules?"
"No way, my scissors cut through iron, I win, Tianyu, the clothes I bought are the most suitable for you!"
"Is this how we're going to play? Can we still have fun?"
"..." The group of women began to argue again, and in desperation, Xiao Tianyu spoke up: "How about this, today I won't wear anyone's clothes, okay? I'll just take them home and try them on one by one, is that satisfying enough for you?"
"But we still want to see whose you wear first!" The group of women spoke in unison.
Bang~
Xiao Tianyu's phone suddenly fell to the ground, at this moment, he felt like jumping off a building. He should've known better than to suggest such a crazy idea.
He then had a brainwave, saying: "Alright, I'll close my eyes and pick one, whichever I grab, I'll wear it. That should work, right?"
This time, surely there wouldn't be any nitpicking, Xiao Tianyu thought secretly.
Upon hearing this, the group of women exchanged glances, this idea seemed feasible, so upon reaching an agreement, they laid all the clothes out on the table. Xiao Tianyu closed his eyes and randomly chose a piece; it was a black suit, the one bought by Wen Xin, making the group of women envious.
Wen Xin smiled radiantly, as if saying, see, I have a connection with Tianyu.
Xiao Tianyu took the black suit into the fitting room, and after a moment, came out.
The suit was neither too big nor too small, just right and tailored, this was Xiao Tianyu's first time dressed in a suit, he looked extremely dashing, instantly stunning the crowd.
At this moment, all the women's eyes were about to pop out, then they started salivating, as if Xiao Tianyu was being seen as a little lamb, waiting for the women to take advantage.
In one word, handsome.
In two words, very handsome.
In three words, incredibly handsome.
With Xiao Tianyu's unique aura, other handsome guys and celebrities were only fit to act as his foil.
Xiao Tianyu felt embarrassed from being stared at, so he asked: "Why are you all staring at me like that?"
"Tianyu, tell me honestly, is rape illegal?"
"No, shouldn't it be gang rape that's illegal?"
"..." Xiao Tianyu felt his heart race as he wondered why they could be so shameless. He sensed many predatory eyes staring at him.
So he replied: "Calm down, calm down, gang rape is punishable by death!"
"..." Damn, if it means getting to sleep with this Top Grade, it'd be worth getting beheaded.
Just at that moment, outside the planning department, a middle-aged man in a well-tailored suit appeared within the women's sight, followed by a man wearing clothes worth less than two hundred bucks, his head wrapped in bandages.
"Hm?"
Xiao Tianyu slightly frowned, curiously eyeing the sleazy man.
"President Ye!" Luo Bing called out to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was none other than Qingcheng International's former president Ye Tianhao, and the person behind him was of course Guan Zhongyuan.
"President Ye?"
"So this was the once mighty Ye Tianhao of Celestial Capital, no wonder he carried such presence!"
The group of women whispered: "Hello, President Ye!"
"Hello, President Ye!"
"..."
Amidst the numerous greetings, Ye Tianhao entered the planning department with Guan Zhongyuan.
Initially, Ye Tianhao intended to place Guan Zhongyuan in another department, but Guan Zhongyuan insisted on being in the planning department after learning that Xiao Tianyu was there. That way, he'd have the chance to settle scores and grievances.
Understandably so, after all, having his wife and fortune taken by someone else, no man could tolerate such humiliation.
However, when Guan Zhongyuan stepped into the planning department, he glanced around casually, spotting rows of beautiful women, and instantly forgot all about revenge.
The father-in-law was right, why give up an entire forest for one tree? I'll take both the tree and the forest.
Wow, happiness came so unexpectedly.
