Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 35: Manager on Ice



Currently, the entire planning department's many fashionable 'goddesses' were completely baffled by the conversation between Jiang Ya and Xiao Tianyu.

Jiang Ya said that Xiao Tianyu tricked her out of three thousand yuan.

Xiao Tianyu, however, claimed that Jiang Ya was a con artist. This seemed very contradictory—who exactly was the fraudulent scammer in this situation? The goddesses were all dizzy with confusion, although based on Jiang Ya's character, she seemed above deceiving others, right?

"Which one of you is truly the scammer?" Lin Xin asked when she saw neither speaking, prompting Jiang Ya to point at Xiao Tianyu, "It's him, he... he... I'm the scammer!"

"..." The goddesses were speechless.

The reason Jiang Ya immediately changed the topic was that she saw a threatening look in Xiao Tianyu's eyes, as if he was saying, 'If you dare call me a scammer, I'll spill the beans about what happened last night.'

Last night, Jiang Ya had played ghost to swindle others. If this incident were known to the higher-ups of Qingcheng International, she might not have any place there. After all, Qingcheng International is a listed company—how could they employ a scammer?

This also made Jiang Ya realize that Xiao Tianyu had her cornered.

Scoundrel, don't let me catch any of your weaknesses, Jiang Ya thought to herself, silently vowing to remember this grudge.

"Really?" The goddesses' eyes widened in disbelief at Jiang Ya's words. Usually, Jiang Ya was a very honest person, so how could she possibly deceive others? Is it true that appearances can be deceiving, and you can't judge the depth of the sea by its surface?

"Really, I... I did deceive him first!" Jiang Ya muttered, cursing Xiao Tianyu's ancestors in her heart—this bastard was too wicked, not only did he cheat her out of three thousand yuan, but he also made her admit she was the scammer.

Thinking about it made Jiang Ya depressed; not only was she cheated of three thousand yuan, but she was also teased by Xiao Tianyu twice, with him alternately saying she had a big chest or a small one.

"So you're saying you two don't have a fling?" Fang Siying blinked her beautiful eyes.

"What fling?" Jiang Ya glared fiercely at Fang Siying, "With his looks? Please, he should take a good look in the mirror, hum~"

"So you're saying he never dumped you and isn't a scumbag?"

"I was never dumped by him, and I didn't know him before, but I'm sure he's a scumbag, so be careful not to get scammed!" Jiang Ya shouted crisply.

"It's alright, it's alright, I like scumbags!" As the situation became clear and the goddesses realized Xiao Tianyu had been wronged, Lin Xin's beautiful eyes twinkled as she remarked, "I said so, such a handsome guy, how could he be a scumbag?"

"..." At this moment, Xiao Tianyu was very frustrated. Am I a law-abiding citizen, do I look like a scumbag?

"Doesn't anyone need to work?" At that moment, a chilly voice emerged from the planning department manager's office, causing everyone to shiver as if they greatly dreaded this voice.

Yet Xiao Tianyu merely shrugged, with a nonchalant air as though he hadn't heard a thing.

"Hey... Go to work, the tiger lady is coming!"

"Tiger lady?" Xiao Tianyu was puzzled, "What's a tiger lady?"

"It's what we call our department's old virgin. She's middle-aged and still hasn't lost her virginity, so she's especially jealous of us lively young women, always wearing a stern face like the world owes her millions. That's why we call her the tiger lady!" Lin Xin whispered in explanation, and Xiao Tianyu nodded, indicating he understood.

Noticing Xiao Tianyu still showed no intention of working, Lin Xin urged, "Hurry up and work; otherwise, life won't be easy for you!"

After saying that, Lin Xin continued in a whisper, "In our planning department, there's a saying: better to offend the Iceberg President than the tiger lady, do you know why? It's entirely because the tiger lady lacks yang energy for too long without yin-yang balance."

"Oh!" Xiao Tianyu nodded, indicating he understood, then moved towards his workstation, sat down, and all the other goddesses buried their heads in work without daring to look up.

Click-clack-click-clack~

As Xiao Tianyu had just sat down, the sound of high heels reverberated, and it grew closer to him, prompting him to raise his head, which then froze him.

Before him stood a young woman in her early twenties, at her prime age; she was about 1.7 meters tall, with a perfect S-shaped figure, wearing a standard business suit, and black high heels. Her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders, amplifying her exceptional aura, especially her flawless skin, which was stunningly beautiful, a top-tier beauty whose presence exuded coldness.

Middle-aged?

Old virgin?

Tiger lady?

Still a virgin?

Is this... is this describing the beauty in front of him?

At that moment, Xiao Tianyu was a bit bewildered. Such a woman in her prime, could she really be middle-aged and a yang-deprived old virgin? Do I have a problem with my eyes, or do those women have sight issues? Damn, I look at her from every angle, and she doesn't seem older than twenty-five! Is she really an old virgin and not a young virgin?

Luo Bing noticed Xiao Tianyu's eyes blatantly scanning her up and down, making her feel a tinge of disgust. Fortunately, Xiao Tianyu's gaze was only filled with curiosity, remaining clean without any malicious thoughts, slightly improving Luo Bing's expression, though the icy chill still lingered.

However, Luo Bing couldn't help but appreciate Xiao Tianyu's perfect, flawless face.

"Are you the new typist?" Luo Bing spoke indifferently, showing no sign of being moved, as if Xiao Tianyu's handsomeness was completely unrelated to her.

"That's me!" Xiao Tianyu nodded slightly.

"Follow me!" With that, Luo Bing walked towards the office in her high heels.

Xiao Tianyu was about to get up when Lin Xin beside him whispered, "Don't be fooled by her appearance, don't be misled by how young she looks; in reality, she's an old witch well over fifty, really, I'm not lying to you!"

This woman thinks I'm blind?

Xiao Tianyu rolled his eyes at Lin Xin, then got up and walked towards the office, making all the other women feel helpless—the male god doesn't seem to be available to us.

"Hey, Lin Xin, your plan didn't work at all. Xiao Tianyu doesn't believe the manager is an old woman, so now the male god is taken by the manager; what's left for us?" Cheng Jiaqing said to Lin Xin.

"He doesn't believe it—what can I do? It's not my fault you don't look top-notch, letting the manager seize the opportunity!" Lin Xin rolled her eyes.

Actually, she was also quite helpless. The reason she came up with this plan was undoubtedly hoping Xiao Tianyu would believe Luo Bing was a middle-aged old virgin, but reality speaks louder than words.

The moment Luo Bing appeared, their lie fell apart on its own.

"Don't worry, Luo Bing isn't like you; she won't rush to get a room with every pretty boy she sees. She won't fancy such a superficial man!" Jiang Ya, who had been silent all this while, said, "That guy's going in—eight out of ten, I think he's in for trouble!"
