Chapter 185 – Is that ruthless or is that ruthless? (2)
Did he have to bring that up? Yan Shuyu placed her hand over her chest and mourned the loss of her 2 million yuan.
Manager Yang, curious, stuck his head over and asked, “So what ended up happening to the check?”
Yan Shuyu didn’t expect her little buddy to be so blunt. He didn’t even ask how the boss had responded but jumped straight to the part of what happened to the check. Had he already guessed the boss’s response?
She gave Manager Yan a dubious look and answered his question truthfully. “We’ve already returned it back to its rightful owner.”
“Boss Zhou has already sent the check back to the rich woman?” Yang Zifeng was a little bit stunned. “That was fast.”
He had checked with Yan Shuyu just yesterday, and she still had the check in her possession. So the two of them must have communicated last night, and the check was already taken care of today. Yang Zifeng was very impressed with Boss Zhou’s efficiency.
Yan Shuyu misunderstood that her little buddy saw eye to eye with her and got excited. She punched the couch and complained to him. “Yeah. How awful was that, right? The check was given to me, and he got to be the nice guy.”
“The nice guy?” Yang Zifeng raised his brows without giving too much away. “Speaking of, how’s that rich woman related to the boss?”
“She’s the mother of the White, Rich, and Pretty that he went on a date with once,” said Yan Shuyu. Then she added, “The cousin of White, Rich, and Pretty is a buddy of the boss. I felt that they are a good match for each other.”
Manager Yang lifted his brows again and continued to pry. “And Boss Zhou returned the check just like that? Did he say anything else?”
“I don’t think so,” said Yan Shuyu with a look of Foolish, White, and Sweet as she tried to recall the details. “But he said that there is a family banquet at the rich woman’s house today and that it’s a good day to do so… I didn’t really get that part.”
“A good day…” Yang Zifeng’s face was filled with respect. “Your Boss Zhou is truly a ruthless one. Like a wolf, almost.”
Yan Shuyu didn’t have time to dwell on his word choice. She asked humbly, “Why do you say that?”
Seeing how eager she was to learn, Manager Yang patiently analyzed the situation to her. “You said that Boss Zhou and the White, Rich, and Pretty are good match, but I don’t think so. If they truly are good match for each other, her mother wouldn’t have come to you so frantically. Obviously, Boss Zhou is a good catch that they will never come across again. They didn’t want to let him go nor did they dare to put pressure on Boss Zhou directly; which was why they decided to go from your angle.
“The rich woman’s plan was pretty impressive. As long as you’ve accepted her check, one way or another, you will leave a gold-digger impression with Boss Zhou. That is a taboo for most rich people. What she didn’t expect was that you have never pretended that you are a righteous one; you’ve always been an unscrupulous one. Boss Zhou, who knows you through and through, wouldn’t have been disappointed no matter how you have responded.
“Her action, on the other hand, offended Boss Zhou directly. Plus, your Boss Zhou even one upped her. Do you really think his returning the check on the day of her family banquet is just to simply return the check? No! He was making a statement. He had stated to the rich woman that he had no interest in White, Rich, and Pretty. At the same time, he faceslapped her entire family. Is that ruthless or is that ruthless?
“Just thinking about how arrogant that rich woman was the other day, even I felt my cheeks smarting for her.” Yang Zifeng lamented with a string of “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your Boss Zhou knew how to hit where it hurts most.”
Hearing Manager Yang’s explanation, Yan Shuyu’s little heart shuddered. “Is he really that, that mighty?”
