“Fu Yong…” Yu Chidong explained with a pacifying smile, “This is an emergency. Please don’t kill me…”

“Stop dawdling and spit it out already!” Fu Yong growled. He turned around, walked to the balcony, and closed the sliding door behind him.

“I’m afraid you have to go back to Haicheng City.” Yu Chidong lowered his voice as he continued, “The news that you’re alive has already spread. Your old man is very excited, as well as your aunt and uncle…”

“I understand.” Fu Yong frowned and said, “I’ll contact them in private. I’m still holding off on returning to Haicheng City. ”

Yu Chidong replied with an “ok” and dared not ask further.

“By the way, Fu Yong, I did some digging. The client that Hua Tang went out to meet was the one Bi Ying’er failed to win over even after three months of effort! I pulled some strings, and Hua Tang signed the contract. The commission from it is quite substantial…”

Fu Yong hung up the phone with a heart full of repressed grievances before Yu Chidong could finish.

Yu Chidong was clueless once again. Terrified, he looked at Su Cheng and asked, “What did I say wrong this time?”

Su Cheng almost passed out from laughing too hard, and he answered, “Hua Tang can get a contract signed on her own merit. Who asked you to open your big mouth and help?”

Yu Chidong widened his eyes. “What… Didn’t you ask me to do it?”

Su Cheng rolled his eyes as he explained, “I told you to look into Hua Tang’s job and clientele to avoid Bi Ying’er plotting against her. But did I ask you to help her get this client? Hua Tang, a newcomer, managed to win over a client that Bi Ying’er couldn’t get after three months. Those at the company will talk. How do you think those people will view her? What slander will they come up with?”

Yu Chidong could say nothing in reply.

“Besides, I’ve seen Hua Tang’s sales proposal.” Su Cheng sighed. “Even if you don’t say anything, that client, Mr. Wang, will sign it in the end! But now, with your interference, things have changed.”

“I messed up again!” Yu Chidong was beyond tears at this point.

Su Cheng patted him on the shoulder. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have studied law back then. I should have studied medicine so I could have your head examined! ”



Fu Yong leaned against the balcony railing, deep eyes devoid of emotion. The night breeze carrying a hint of coolness sobered him considerably.

When he turned around and returned to his room, Hua Tang was no longer in the bedroom. He looked around and heard a slight sound from the bathroom.

He found Hua Tang there. Hua Tang also saw him, revealing two shallow dimples as she smiled at him. “You should go to sleep first. I’ll wash my undergarments.”

Fu Yong wailed in his heart. It was very uncomfortable to be interrupted when he was in the mood for intimacy. Now, he had to wait for his member to slowly subside.

He couldn’t force her to try and get into the mood again, so he just gave Hua Tang a strained smile and returned to the living room. He wrapped himself into a cocoon and went to sleep.

But before he fell asleep, he still cursed Yu Chidong for his poor timing.



The news of Hua Tang signing a large order quickly spread throughout the company. Some seniors in the sales department also looked at her in a new light.

After all, she produced no results for the first two months before astonishing everyone with this shining achievement—signing a big order all of a sudden.

At the regular company meeting, the sales director even praised her and gave her an additional bonus as encouragement.

Meanwhile, Hua Tang remained clear-headed throughout and silently observed everyone.

Some of the congratulations were sincere, while others went with the flow, gave empty words, and didn’t bother hiding the fact. Some were like Bi Ying’er, blatant in their dismissal and jealousy.

However, Hua Tang didn’t care about that. She only cared about the balance on her bank card.

When she passed by the break room, she heard people conversing inside.

“When the director praised her, she took it matter-of-factly; she’s really good at pretending. This is what it means to hide your true colors.”

Another shrill voice laughed and shared, “Sometimes, the more innocent you look, the more you have to hide!”

“What did you hear?”

That previous speaker lowered their voice. “Heh, I heard that Hua Tang secured this order because someone helped her! ”

“Who is it? Was it Mr. Yin? I heard that Mr. Yin chased after Hua Tang when she was at university. How he looks at Hua Tang now is also a little suggestive…”

“It probably wasn’t Yin Zhaoyang. Why didn’t he keep such a good thing for himself? The commission was quite sizable. Besides, Bi Ying’er had been trying for three months to sign that contract and failed. Yin Zhaoyang wouldn’t have fared any better! Stop overestimating his abilities; he’s not that skilled.”

“You mean… there’s an even more powerful figure backing Hua Tang?”

“Hey, you didn’t hear this from me. Maybe someone was good in bed and coaxed her way to the contract…”

The group whispered to each other, and then risque laughter could be heard.
