<h4>Chapter 1425: Chapter 1438</h4>


    "Why are you scolding me?" Wu Gonghai looked at her with eyes that shimmered with moisture under long, curvedshes.


    "..."


    Everyone’s ears perked up like antennas as An Ruoxi deliberately raised her voice, letting each word drift into their ears. Yes, in just half an hour, the news had spread throughout thepany. The new high school-graduate secretary had brought in a cup of coffee with sugar and not only wasn’t she kicked out, but she was also designated to handle the president’s coffee in the future.


    This news, fortunately, reached Ji Da’s ears before An Ruoxi could report it.


    Some people were delighted, while others were pleased with themselves.


    The thing Wei Yu hated most was office gossip. All the gossip naturally avoided the president’s office, but he still caught some whispers.


    "President Wei, here’s An Ruoxi’s file."


    Wei Yu browsed through it; indeed, it was simple and transparent, just two pages long. "Qingbai Studio?"


    "This is Miss An Ruoxi’spany, but it doesn’t have a business license."


    "What do they do?"


    "Uh... it’s..." The person stammered, unsure of how to describe it, "a hodgepodge."


    "A hodgepodge?"


    "They’ll do anything." He couldn’t think of another word to use. The entirepany consisted only of An Ruoxi, who took photos of cheating men and did odd jobs. It was such a mix that the only word to describe it was hodgepodge.


    Ha, they do anything. It’s true, both times I encountered her, she was in the middle of taking covert photos.


    "But President Wei, with such a person working at ourpany, there’s a problem..." He couldn’t figure out who had recruited such a person. "Also, this woman has tried to take photos of you more than once. I think she must have an ulterior motive."


    Wei Yu squinted his eyes as he leaned back in his chair, recalling, "What does she want to photograph about me? Me and Mu Bingtong? Could she be sent by Chu Ge?"


    "It doesn’t seem that way."


    The person awkwardly said, "Mr. Chu doesn’t seem like that kind of person, let alone spying is really dirty. It shouldn’t be Mr. Chu."


    "What did you say?" Wei Yu fiercely red at his subordinate, "I think you’re really pushing your luck!"


    "I understand my mistake, sir!"


    "Go investigate. If she’s in contact with Chu Ge, report immediately!"


    "Yes!"


    "And no matter what An Ruoxi wants to investigate, she must not find out about Mu Bingtong, nor about my father’s secret."


    "Yes."


    ...


    An Ruoxi sat alone in the bar, Meng Jia’s words spinning in her mind.


    "Lu Fei always liked me."


    "If he wasn’t a deputy manager at Wei Group’s subsidiary, why would I agree to be his girlfriend?"


    "Don’t worry, as soon as I get to work at Wei Group, I’ll give Lu Fei back to you."


    An Ruoxi’s heart felt clenched and pained. How could she, how did she regard Lu Fei...


    Another drink went down.


    "Oh, dear, what’s happened to you?"


    "Shen Yaoyao,e drink with me." An Ruoxi looked at the neer, squeezing out a helpless smile on her flushed face, looking dreadful.


    "Stop drinking for now, tell me, what’s going on?"


    "Remember Meng Jia?" An Ruoxi, holding a bottle, wobbled to her feet.


    "Hey, where are you going? Sit down." Shen Yaoyao forced her to stay seated, asking, "Which Meng Jia?"


    Which Meng Jia—if just one is making her headache, does she need two more?


    "What about her? Haven’t we not contacted her for a long time?"


    "They’re together now." As An Ruoxi spoke, she huped, the alcohol hitting her gut hard. What to do, she hadn’t even confessed to Lu Fei and she’d already been sentenced.


    "Who’s together?" Shen Yaoyao anxiously looked at her. This girl only said half of what she meant, but she could guess the gist; only he would make her so mncholic.


    "You didn’t confess to Lu Fei?" Always thought she would naturally go on with Lu Fei, but fate wasn’t on her side, and Meng Jia appeared out of nowhere.


    Shen Yaoyao didn’t know how to console her, but drinking wasn’t the way, "Stop drinking, let’s go home. There’s plenty of fish in the sea. What’s so great about Lu Fei, he just got promoted to a deputy manager at a smallpany. We can find someone higher up to outshine him."


    An Ruoxi shot her a look. How did she know she was already enticing a manager who couldn’t be more senior than Lu Fei? This girl was a psychic.


    "Hehe, Shen Yaoyao, how did you figure it out? I’m targeting a wolf now, a man-eater, but I have no choice, I have to do it."


    After speaking, she took a deep breath, as if she got a major relief, exhaling the stale air, doing this repeatedly, and her mind cleared quite a bit.


    "Shen Yaoyao, you know since childhood, Lu Fei and I were always together; he was like an older brother, always looking after me. Honestly, I never dared to hope for anything between us, but he chose Meng Jia, he actually chose Meng Jia! He doesn’t even know what kind of person Meng Jia is! He just has no idea!"


    "Hic..." An Ruoxi hupped loudly again; she couldn’t take it anymore, her stomach cramping badly. "I need a restroom; stay here, don’t move."


    An Ruoxi waved at Shen Yaoyao, wobbling her way to the restroom.


    As she staggered there, she coincidentally bumped into Chu Ge exiting. Chu Ge recognized her as the woman he once saw leaving Wei Yu’s room.


    That day, after returning, Li Hua told Chu Ge about the grudge between Mr. Chu and Wei Yu, and their gambling stone incident in the Capital City was a well-known uproar, hard to miss.


    Chu Ge was a bit surprised; he suspected that since she was here, Wei Yu was likely around too.


    Not that he feared Wei Yu, but after hearing Li Hua’s tale, he concluded Wei Yu was trouble, and the one thing Chu Ge feared was trouble!


    Chu Ge nced at An Ruoxi and tried to leave.


    But An Ruoxi suddenly grabbed his arm, "Hey? I think I know you!"


    Chu Ge frowned.


    "You... you seem... you seem..."


    An Ruoxi hadn’t finished speaking when her stomach convulsed more violently. She quickly pushed Chu Ge away and rushed into the restroom.


    This wasn’t a renowned bar; the restroom basins were shared. An Ruoxi leaned over it, vomiting out everything from dinner.


    Feeling slightly better, she turned on the faucet, but her face was getting hotter. She had a quirk; her face turned red like a monkey’s butt when she drank. People said it meant she could drink a lot, but she couldn’t—one drink was enough. She had checked online, discovering that those whose faces turn red when drinkingck a certain liver enzyme that breaks down alcohol. Such people shouldn’t drink at all. Since finding out, she hadn’t touched alcohol until today...
