Chapter 198: Cats Are Annoying
Translator: Zayn_
[Zhizhi sneezed. Can cats catch a cold?]
[1 don’t think so. He just had one sneeze.]
The two messages from Chen Lan were only a few minutes apart.
Song Qingyou replied that she was about to get off work as she walked into the elevator.
Satisfied, she saved the photo that Chen Lan had sent her. Just as she was about to enter the office, she heard voices coming from the corner.
“Assistant Yu, please help me this once! Otherwise, 1 really don’t know what to do…”
“This is not the place to talk. You should go back first.”
“Then what happened to me today-”
“I’ll mention it to the supervisor, but I’m only working here temporarily. I don’t know if the supervisor will listen to me.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. As long as you’re willing to help…”
The two of them exchanged words and even exchanged contact details.
Song Qingyou could only tell that one of them was Yu Muhuai. The other had a request and was very humble.
Unfortunately, they talked for a long time and didn’t say what they wanted to do specifically.
Song Qingyou stood at the office door for too long and was noticed by Yu Muhuai, who had taken a few steps forward.
The middle-aged man behind him also stopped and looked up.
The man’s face was haggard and pale, as if his vitality had been sucked out.
Song Qingyou took a few more glances at him.
“This is Secretary Song.” Yu Muhuai introduced her to the man.
“Hello, Secretary Song.” The man smiled apologetically and greeted him. “Assistant Yu has something else to do, so 1 won’t bother you for now.”
With that, she turned around and left.
Song Qingyou watched the man leave. “I heard him asking you for help just now?”
“It’s something about work.” Yu Muhuai explained in a low voice,” You know that I’m the assistant to the manager of the Planning Department. He had a problem with a project and asked me to put in a good word for him. He said that he didn’t want to lose his job.”
Song Qingyou thought back to that person’s face and couldn’t help but remind him, “He looks like he hasn’t rested for a long time.”
“Some people in the Planning Department like to stay up late to write business proposals.”
Yu Muhuai didn’t seem to take it to heart. “He’s a famous workaholic in the Planning Department. He might have been working overtime recently.”
“Don’t you need to work overtime?” Song Qingyou asked jokingly.
“I’m just an assistant. I don’t have much work.”
Yu Muhuai said gently, “I came because I heard that something happened in the Secretary Department today. I was a little worried about you.”
“It has nothing to do with me.”
Zhuang Wei’s dismissal was an internal matter of the Jiangyuan Corporation. She had no reason to tell Yu Muhuai about it.
Fortunately, Yu Muhuai was tactful and didn’t ask further. He changed the topic and asked, “We’re just on our way; do you want to go have dinner together?”
“Sure.”
Song Qingyou lowered her head and told Chen Lan that she was going to eat with Yu Muhuai.
On the other side, Chen Lan was opening the cat carrier and signaling Zhizhi to go inside.
She held her phone diagonally in her hand. The cat had just stretched out its front paw when it saw the message and was instantly stunned.
Chen Lan opened the cat carrier a little more. “Come, Zhizhi, go in quickly.”
“Your heartless master is going to have dinner with the handsome man tonight. I’m afraid she won’t have time to see you…”
Hearing this, the cat retracted its front paws.
No matter how hard Chen Lan tried to persuade him, he refused to enter the cat carrier. The person and the cat started a chase in the office.
“How about I take you to Song Qingyou?” Chen Lan asked tentatively.
The next second, the cat on the table wagged its tail and walked to the cat carrier.
“You understand what I’m saying?” Chen Lan was surprised. “No, you probably heard Qingyou’s name, right?”
The cat raised its head.” Meow-”
“I knew it!”
Chen Lan pursed her lips in disgust. She thought that if Zhizhi didn’t see its owner today, it might tear down the house. She could only carry the cat carrier and say that she was going to find Song Qingyou.
Song Qingyou, who had just gotten into the car with Yu Muhuai, quickly received a message.
[ Your cat is coming to find you]
[ I’m afraid that if it’s unable to see you, it might tear the house down.]
[ Where are you? Send me your location]
Did cats know how to tear down a house?
A trace of doubt flashed through Song Qingyou’s mind.
However, when she thought about how her cat was like a dog sometimes, this doubt was completely dispelled.
She told Yu Muhuai that her manager was going to bring her cat.
“You really like cats.” The latter smiled.
Song Qingyou was misunderstood as someone who couldn’t live without her cat, and she didn’t explain.
Ten minutes later, both parties met in the restaurant.
Jiang Zhihan raised his paw and tugged at the cat carrier a few times. Chen Lan then let him out.
Without a word, he jumped to where Song Qingyou wanted to sit and sat opposite Yu Muhuai.
Those who didn’t know better would think that it was this cat that Yu Muhuai had arranged to eat with.
Chen Lan was helpless.
Yu Muhuai was obviously stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, “Just let it sit there. Maybe that position is more comfortable.”
“Teacher Yu has such a good temper.” Chen Lan sighed.
Jiang Zhihan raised his chin. He felt that Qingyou’s manager should go to the hospital to get her eye checked.
Fortunately, he was fast enough, otherwise Song Qingyou and this hypocrite would be sitting face to face.
“Since Qingyou’s seat has been taken by a cat, why don’t you sit next to me?”
Yu Muhuai said as he moved inside.
Jiang Zhihan couldn’t care less about his pride.
He felt like his entire face was about to crack.
He looked up at Song Qingyou and called out, “Meow meow-”
He deliberately lowered his voice.
The cat meowed weakly, like a child acting coquettishly, and as expected, it immediately attracted Song Qingyou’s attention.
She looked over and saw Zhizhi staring at her without blinking. Her ears were even moving.
To a cat person, this was simply a irresistible lure!
Song Qingyou sat down next to the cat without hesitation. “I’ll just sit with Zhizhi.”
“You wouldn’t mind sitting with Sister Lan, would you?”
“I don’t mind.” Yu Muhuai smiled, not showing any reluctance.
During the meal, Yu Muhuai tried to chat with Song Qingyou.
However, Jiang Zhihan seemed to be in a fight with him. As soon as the two of them started chatting, he would reach out and touch the plates in front of Song Qingyou.
This move worked every time.
No matter how well Yu Muhuai disguised himself, he still stared at Jiang Zhihan.
The malice in his eyes was about to overflow.
Finally, he suggested to Song Qingyou, “I see that you always bring this cat around. It’s so naughty. You should train it more. Otherwise, if it gets into trouble one day, you’ll be the one to take the blame.”
Song Qingyou pushed away the cat’s paw that was about to reach out again.
“Zhizhi is usually very obedient,” she said. “He might be hungry today.”
“If you don’t want to, I can help you train.”
“You know how to train cats?” Song Qingyou was surprised.” I thought you didn’t like pets.”
“I learned it before. It was a long time ago.” Yu Muhuai narrowed his eyes. “At that time, 1 picked up a stray dog and brought it home. Later, it was beaten to death…”
“My condolences.” Song Qingyou didn’t know what to say.
Jiang Zhihan didn’t want to listen to the story that the person opposite him was telling, so he continued to stretch out his claws.
Song Qingyou’s attention was diverted again.
Yu Muhuai was speechless.
As expected, cats were really annoying!
