Chapter 418: Work Makes Me Happy
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wang Yan came back after he went to “answer a phone call”. The dark clouds had dispersed and the undercurrents had subsided.
No one could predict what was going on in everyone’s hearts, but on the surface, it was a lively and joyous scene of celebration.
“Wang Yan, here’s a toast to you! When you have time, go and check out the company. I had put a lot of effort into the renovation for you. Once you see it, you would understand!”
Fawner Lv came forward enthusiastically.
Lu Yuanyuan, who was beside, grumbled, “Could we stop talking about work on a holiday? Drink your wine!”
No one paid attention to her.
If they didn’t find other things to interrupt now, were they going to talk about Wang Yan’s luck with women?!
Lv Yichen was a smart person. He didn’t intend to joke with Wang Yan at all.
If he were to flatter at this time, he would offend more than one person and he would be in serious trouble.
Lin Baizhou immediately gave him a thumbs up, “Mr. Lv’s renovation was much better than what I expected. Wang Yan, you should find the time to take a look.”
“Okay.”
Wang Yan nodded with a smile, “I would go and check it out if my schedule for tomorrow and the day after is free. How was Zhu Jike doing over there?”
“He’s pretty good. He’s hard-working, diligent, and conscientious.” Lin Baizhou gave his approval.
Zhu Jike’s former master, Lv Yichen, praised him even more.
“Wang Yan, ever since he followed you, that guy was not as impetuous as before. Just that he would be too stubborn sometimes. I had already set the highest standards for you, yet he would still pick on the little details all the time…”
Since they were on different sides, the scolding was praise, Lv Yichen was truly a shrewd person.
Wang Yan suddenly had an idea, “Since he did a good job, he should be rewarded. Call him over to play together.”
Lin Baizhou took the initiative to take out his phone.
Han Luzhou finally thawed and asked Wang Yan about the movie.
“Wang Yan, do you have any interesting characters in that movie?”
Although they didn’t have much contact, Han Luzhou and Wang Yan’s relationship was purer. They had talked about life and ideals together, so there was no need to hide any of their thoughts.
Wang Yan directly asked, “Why? Were you planning to move into the entertainment industry?”
Han Luzhou waved his hand. “No, I’m not cut out for it. However, I had a childhood friend who was in the acting class of the second year of Peking TV University…”
“Is he handsome?”
“He’s more handsome than me!”
Wang Yan glanced at Han Luzhou, who was as handsome as Wu Yanzu, and shook his head decisively, “That won’t do. It’s only a minor role. Being too handsome would be a hindrance.”
It was a very simple reason, and Han Luzhou expressed his understanding.
Guo Zihao finally found an opportunity to act smart. He laughed loudly, “Wang Yan, you’re just jealous that we’re more handsome than you!”
Wang Yan glanced sideways, “You guys? Who?”
Guo Zihao counted with his fingers, “Me, Han Luzhou, and Lin Baizhou!”
Han Luzhou and Lin Baizhou were dumbfounded.
The two of them knew Wang Yan too well. Just as they were about to draw a line with Guo Zihao, they saw Wang Yan clenching his fists with a grin, “Brothers, we were being despised. What should we do?”
The group of people began to rub their fists together.
Lin Baizhou glared at Guo Zihao, so angry that he gritted his teeth.
You scum!
The boys began to compete with each other in drinking. They completely distanced themselves from the girls and went about their own business.
After the lively meal, they went to sing. There was still a clear distinction between them.
Normally, this situation was very abnormal, but both parties had a tacit understanding not to disturb each other until the end.
Han Luzhou and Wang Xue were the first pair to disappear.
The bachelors put their arms around their shoulders and went to the next stall. No one called Wang Yan.
Lin Weiwei was worried and urged, “Don’t drink too much brother! Don’t be too drunk that can’t find your home!”
Lin Baizhou blinked, “Why don’t you come with me, my manager?”
Lin Weiwei met her brother’s eyes and suddenly had a tacit understanding, “Whatever… Just go!”
Fu Yushi put her head on Na Wu’s shoulder, closed her eyes, and moved her lips slightly, “Take me back to your rented house and call Lu Yuanyuan…”
Na Wu cried out in surprise, “Ah! Shi Shi, you were not drunk?!”
Fu Yushi was speechless.
Fortunately, the private room was a bit messy now and not many people heard.
Lu Yuanyuan sighed and came over to hold Fu Yushi and rolled her eyes at Na Wu.
Na Wu…
She pursed her lips and felt wronged. She wanted to find hide in a corner.
After a chaotic retreat, the number of people left was decreasing. He Luoluo’s expression was stiffening.
Sister Liu Li, why were you still hugging me?
It was time for me to return to the dormitory!
Liu Li smiled as she held onto He Luoluo’s hand. She greeted everyone one by one and sent them off.
“Let’s go, let Wang Yan settle the karaoke bill. Don’t stand on ceremony with us!”
Mina and Chu Hong slipped out, turning a blind eye to He Luoluo’s despairing gaze.
Mina: “We would be going back to the dormitory!”
He Luoluo: “I want to go back to the dormitory too!”
Mina: “Sorry, we were not heading the same way!”
He Luoluo: “Do you believe that I’ll beat you up?!”
Mina: “You could brag after you had lived through today!”
He Luoluo looked sad.
After Wang Yan settled the bill, he panicked and realized that there was only He Luoluo beside Liu Li.
Without waiting for Wang Yan to ask, Liu Li took the initiative to say, “Luo Luo, would be sleeping with us tonight!”
Sleep with us…?!
What does that mean?!
Was it what I was thinking?
Without waiting for Wang Yan to react, He Luoluo hurriedly waved her hand, “No, no, no, I won’t disturb you guys. I would be going back to the dormitory. I didn’t drink too much and I could find my way. I’m used to sleeping by myself and I would kick the covers while I sleep…”
Liu Li was still as enthusiastic as ever, “No way! We haven’t slept together for a long time! The bed set in the president suite would be enough, don’t worry!”
He Luoluo was so scared that she was about to cry. There was no trace of a bitchy look on her small face.
“No, no, that would be too much. Give me a break…”
Liu Li was even more straightforward, “I could sleep in the living room. I’ll give it all to you tonight.”
He Luoluo was so angry that she wanted to pull her hair, “Liu Li, don’t force me!”
Liu Li sneered, “Who were you trying to scare? Learn the ropes from me when you were trying to scare people. If you could get up tomorrow morning, I would admit defeat!”
“I…”
He Luoluo completely broke down. She begged Liu Li and burst into tears. “Sister, I was wrong, okay? I won’t dare to do it again in the future!”
“Once I let you off, you would forget about what happened.”
Liu Li didn’t believe it at all. She wasn’t going easy on her.
“In less than half a month, you would start to stir up trouble again. I could satisfy you today and let you have a taste of it.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you lose out on the money.”
“Didn’t you always wanted to have a car?”
“500,000 dollars would be enough for you to buy a Mini Cooper. If you came here a few more times, the down payment on the house could be settled…”
He Luoluo was so angry that her eyes turned red.
“If I were to sell myself, I could sell myself anywhere for 500,000 dollars!”
Liu Li continued to sneer, “500,000 for a night and 500,000 once every six months were not the same. Other than me, you wouldn’t be able to sell yourself at this price.”
“Ridiculous! This would be my first time, and I’m also a master of ring dance, ribbon dance, pole dance, strip… Nonsense! I would never think of selling myself!”
He Luoluo was caught in the loop. Her eyes were red as she talked for a long time and realized that it was all bullshit.
Liu Li giggled and snapped her fingers, “Alright, you could start your performance later. If Wang Yan was satisfied, I would make the decision and add another 50,000 dollars!”
He Luoluo was about to explode when the hotel’s concierge car arrived.
Liu Li began to drag her.
“Let go of me! I’m not going!”
“Be good, get in the car!”
“No! I’m not going! Beat me up instead!”
“Hurry up, don’t dawdle!”
“Let go of me, otherwise I’m going to shout!”
Liu Li used all her strength to drag He Luoluo. He Luoluo was so scared that she was kicking wildly. Finally, she sat on the ground and did not get up.
Wang Yan pretended not to see it and quietly sat in the front passenger seat. He held his head and sighed.
Liu Li sighed as she could not drag He Luoluo away. She turned around and asked for help, “Wang Yan, hurry up and help. Your midnight snack is about to escape!”
Midnight snack my foot!
Anyone who was not stupid would not take this scene seriously. Only an idiot would speak up at such a time.
Wang Yan pretended not to hear anything and let them do whatever they wanted.
In the blink of an eye, the situation turned around.
Liu Li was so tired that her whole body went weak. He Luoluo found an opportunity and called a taxi. She got up and was about to leave.
Liu Li subconsciously blocked her. In the end, He Luoluo went all out and carried Liu Li by her waist and dragged her into the taxi.
“Sir, please head to the Dance group!”
“Okay!”
Wang Yan raised his head. His girlfriend was gone!
Through the two-story glass window, Liu Li bared her fangs and brandished her claws for help. “Wang Yan, save me… Ouch!”
She was pressed down by He Luoluo, sinking like a drowning cat.
Only a small hand was left pressed on the glass, but it was quickly pulled down again.
Wang Yan was dumbfounded and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She was 1.62 meters tall, with a body that weighed less than 80 pounds, how could she compare to someone who was 1.67 meters tall?!
Anyone in the dormitory could bully the master. Did she thought that she was the leader…
She had gone overboard!
Wang Yan had never thought that the farce would end in such a way, but he heaved a sigh of relief.
The driver asked in confusion, “Mr. Wang?”
Wang Yan waved his hand, “Let’s go back to the hotel.”
Regardless of them, Wang Yan didn’t even bother to ask. They could go back to the dormitory and continue the ruckus.
Today was Liu Li’s stage, to begin with, so it was up to her to decide what was right and wrong. But she had to jump out and foolishly steal the show.
Well, it was time to return home and work!
But then again, Liu Li was surprisingly cute today…
…
Just as Wang Yan was walking toward the hotel, Fu Yushi “sobered up”.
Na Wu, Lu Yuanyuan, and Fu Yushi squeezed into the back row of the taxi. The atmosphere was not very quiet.
Lu Yuanyuan said hesitantly, “Liu Li today…”
“Crazy!”
“It’s pretty good.”
Swoosh!
Lu Yuanyuan and Na Wu looked at Fu Yushi at the same time.
She smoothed her hair and was elegant and quiet.
Lu Yuanyuan asked without caring, “Don’t you feel bad for Liu Li?”
Fu Yushi couldn’t help but laugh, “She was defending what belonged to her, why would I feel bad?”
“Tsk!” Lu Yuanyuan curled her lips in disdain.
Na Wu subconsciously shrunk her neck and put on a sad face. “I’m scared… really, I’m really scared…”
Fu Yushi and Lu Yuanyuan subconsciously reached out their hands and shook their heads at the same time, “We felt nothing.”
“Damn!”
Na Wu swatted away their hands and sat back, not wanting to talk about anything else.
Lu Yuanyuan glanced at Fu Yushi, who still had that arrogant princess face that she couldn’t see through. She thought about it and kept her questions to herself.
Everyone had their aspirations. So what if she found out about it?
In the end, it still depended on fate.
…
Lin Weiwei and Lin Baizhou sat in the back seat of the car, and there was a designated driver in front.
“Where would you be going?”
“Home.”
“Weren’t you going for a drink?”
“Not anymore, I’m going home to sleep. When I wake up, it would be a new day.”
Lin Weiwei felt a little uncomfortable. She turned her head and looked out of the window. “When would you be finding a girlfriend?”
“But she’s talking to me right now?”
“I was being serious!”
“Like Wang Yan and Liu Li?”
“… You should go and drink.”
“Hehe, don’t worry. I won’t have a heart-to-heart talk with you today. I’m sure you know what to do.”
I know what the hell to do!
Your sister is a big idiot!
Lin Weiwei angrily pressed her temples. With just a little bit of force, she felt as if she was going to explode.
…
Mina and the others were gossiping and chattering. They attracted the girls from the two dorms around them while exclaiming, getting nervous, and fantasizing…
Suddenly, two familiar voices came from the corridor.
“You’re dead meat!”
“I shall see who was going to die first!”
The group of girls looked at each other for a long time before they suddenly dispersed like a pot of boiling water.
“Why were they back?”
“I don’t know!”
“What do we do?”
“Should we… take a look?!”
“Let’s go and watch the show!”
However, before they could get in position, there were two loud bangs and the bedroom door was shut and locked. The room began to crackle.
“So… Liu Li didn’t manage to sabotage Luo Luo?”
“It was very obvious!”
“Instead, she was taught a lesson?”
“Listen to what she was saying…”
“So, were they still on good terms?”
“What do you mean by that, were you hoping for them to end on bad terms?”
“I didn’t! The problem was, what happened previously would be a waste of time. The loose ends had not been tied up, problems could still arise…”
Those who understood began to look at one another.
Mina sighed and muttered, “What do you think Liu Li did this for…”
It was very simple. The loose ends could never be tied up properly.
Even if Liu Li made up her mind to end things with all of her sisters and strictly guard against any reunion, the hidden dangers would not be eliminated.
She was willing to control that problem, which was a smart move.
It was necessary to guard against her best friends, but one could not pull a rubber band or press a spring. Those who wanted to lock a man up never had a good ending.
Liu Li was too smart, but… she had overestimated her strength.
Wang Yan received Liu Li’s video call request at 12:30 am. When she appeared on the screen, her eyes were full of tears.
“Wang Yan, I can’t accompany you today. My back is sore, and my butt hurts too…”
Wang Yan’s head was aching.
“I won’t blame you for not sending a girl to warm the bed for me. I’ve already lost my real girlfriend… What should I do tonight?”
Liu Li smiled fawningly. “Wang Yan, bear with it for a day… I can’t do it every day anyway. It’s not good for the body!”
“It would be worse for experts!”
Wang Yan widened his eyes and was reminded of something even scarier.
“Hey, it’s almost the end of the month. It’s the 26th now. Was that something that could be endured for a day?!”
Liu Li’s period was very regular. Her cycle had always last 28 days. Wang Yan remembered it very clearly.
When he mentioned this, Liu Li curled up like Na Wu — but she could not hide her face.
Her pretty face flushed red. She mumbled a few words and hung up the video with a snap.
“You would have to deal with it yourself!”
“I’ll do Luo Luo’s work again!”
Wang Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head. He didn’t dare to take it seriously at all.
How crazy would he have to be to take such a thing seriously?
The good news was that if the threat went accordingly, He Luoluo would probably be in quite a shock. Most likely she wouldn’t dare to behave that way again in the future.
This would be great.
She might not be able to influence Liu Li, but this would affect Ping Zhi, Fu Yushi, and Lu Yuanyuan’s attitude.
Throughout the entire night, Wang Yan did not dare to chat with them much.
He Luoluo was good at harming others.
She carried Liu Li back to the dormitory and left Wang Yan alone…
He missed out on this opportunity. If he had a chance, Wang Yan would like nothing more than to give He Luoluo a good thrashing. It would not be over until there was blood.
Gritting his teeth for a while, Wang Yan read for a while and went to sleep.
The next two days were back to normal. As expected, Liu Li’s period came and he continued to hold it in.
It was not easy to wait for the 28th, and the new cards which he applied for had not arrived. The water purifier that he wanted from the mall could not be bought.
Wang Yan had already informed Brother Xi Zi that he would settle a sum of money in advance on the 30th.
He had a little financial trouble, but it wasn’t a big problem.
One of the good points in having his own company was having confidence at a critical moment.
But before that, Wang Yan was going to try something new — he was going to be an audition judge as a director, writer, and producer.
The mysterious entertainment industry was no longer mysterious, but it was still interesting.
“Work makes me happy,” said the tycoon, who was becoming more and more crooked.
