Chapter 281 The Storm Subsides for Now

He was not pleasing to girls, apart from having a passable appearance.

To describe him in two words: "safe." There was no need to worry at all that he might be snatched away by someone else.

"Except for talking to you, he rarely talks to anyone else. Do you think there's something wrong with him here?"

Alis said, tilting her head and tapping her temple with her finger.

Bai Suxiang turned her head to look, and she saw it clearly.

Alis meant that Liu Sandao's head was problematic.

"Hahaha, probably!"

"Don't laugh, shush!"

Alis, afraid that Bai Suxiang's loud noise might alert Liu Sandao, stopped her with a wide-mouthed whisper and made a "shushing" gesture.

Bai Suxiang was not one to speculate about others behind their backs, but for some reason, she always felt that teasing Liu Sandao was something that could make her incredibly relaxed.

As Alis spoke, she pretended not to look at Liu Sandao. However, with her left hand propping up her head, she secretly turned to look, to confirm if Liu Sandao was watching her.

Since she was the company's receptionist, she had a clear view of the company's office lobby and could naturally see Liu Sandao.

But when she looked, Liu Sandao was already gone.

He had no intention of listening to what others were discussing about him; he didn't care about such things.

Seeing that Liu Sandao was not there, Alis breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and was about to stretch.

"Oh my god! No, no! The witch is here! Run, run!"

Bai Suxiang was typing away, not understanding what Alis was babbling about.

"Hmm?"

While she was feeling confused, Alis picked up the pink water cup in front of her and left the reception desk.

Bai Suxiang was too busy to care who had come or gone.

Although the company's receptionists had greeting duties, they usually only had work when visitors arrived. Therefore, doing odd jobs often became their main occupation.

It was precisely because of this situation that Zuo Ruxiu specifically assigned some tasks to them.

At some point, she had started to feel that assigning tasks to others was less troublesome than doing them herself.

Ever since Bai Suxiang had helped her manage things in an orderly fashion, whenever there was something to be done, she would think of Bai Suxiang first.

"Xiao Xiang, have you finished typing that office document from this morning?"

Looking at the busy Bai Suxiang, Zuo Ruxiu glanced at the computer and asked.

"Not yet, Assistant Zuo! I'll give it to you as soon as I'm done."

Bai Suxiang paused and replied.

"Oh, it's fine, that's not urgent. Where's Alis? Wasn't she here just now?"

Zuo Ruxiu said, placing a stack of A4 papers she was holding on their desk.

"She just went to attend to something. Is there anything you need? I can relay the message to her."

Bai Suxiang said.

"Give her this document, and make sure it's typed today!"

"Do you need it urgently? Shall I type this one for you first?"

Bai Suxiang said, looking at the documents placed on the desk.

"You continue with your work. That document of yours is also needed, so let Alis type this one. I found out earlier that she doesn't have much to do today. This girl really knows how to get away with things, always slipping away at the first opportunity.

Tell her, I said, this document must be finished today!"

Zuo Ruxiu, lacking the patience to wait for Alis to return to her seat, directly instructed Bai Suxiang.

These words had already been overheard by Alis from a distance.

She had been hoping to find an excuse to get hot water to avoid being assigned a task by Zuo Ruxiu. She hadn't expected to not only fail to avoid it but also make a bad impression.

"Alas, it's over, it's over! My lovely date, it's completely ruined now!"

Before Bai Suxiang could tell her about the task assigned by Zuo Ruxiu, Alis had already started complaining.

She had seen Zuo Ruxiu talking to Bai Suxiang at her seat.

When Zuo Ruxiu arrived, she was holding a stack of documents, but when she left, her hands were empty. Alis had already guessed that the documents were placed on their desk.

Bai Suxiang was busy and certainly didn't have time to deal with those files.

Coincidentally, Zuo Ruxiu's voice was a bit loud when she spoke, and Alis could hear her from the pantry.

"By the way, Assistant Zuo just now..."

"Don't say anymore, I know everything! You continue with your work, oh, wait! It should be 'we continue to work hard together'! This damned job!"

Alis said, reluctantly putting down her water cup, turning on her computer, and glancing at the document.

She no longer had the mind to talk about Cai Jinqu, or perhaps she had forgotten.

Conversations in the office always wandered far and wide.

Sensing that something was off with Cai Jinqu, Liu Sandao could only follow him secretly.

Although he didn't know how important a two-star person was to Fu Ruhai, judging by the reaction of the Qilin Jade, there must be a connection.

Cai Jinqu was stopped by Xu Dachuan in the company, which prevented the situation from escalating further.

With Cai Rong's arrival and Zuo Ruxiu having support, he had to restrain himself somewhat.

He had originally planned to get that matter done while Old Cai was resting, but it turned out...

"It must have been that bitch Zuo Ruxiu who made the call."

The more Cai Jinqu thought this, the angrier he became.

This Zuo Ruxiu was the bane of their family, a stumbling block in his path to advancement, and must be eliminated.

To pass the time and vent his anger, Cai Jinqu went to the small mountain temple again.

This time, he wasn't very lucky and didn't make a fortune. But he didn't lose money either, and in the end, he even won a thousand yuan or so.

Although it wasn't much, it still made Cai Jinqu feel a little more relaxed.

"Huh? When did this fortune-telling bamboo tube appear here?"

Cai Jinqu remembered that there wasn't one before. He clearly remembered that there was nothing in front of the statue except for an incense burner.

Perhaps he spoke too softly, or perhaps the boss was talking to someone else and didn't hear him.

Cai Jinqu shouted loudly:

"Boss, Bo...oss..."

"Hey, coming, coming! What is it, Boss Cai! Mr. Cai."

The boss hurriedly came over with a fawning smile.

"When did this thing appear?"

Cai Jinqu said, kicking the bamboo tube placed on the ground with his foot.

With a "clatter," the bamboo tube shook a few times but still stood steadily.

Cai Jinqu wasn't angry at first, but seeing that even a bamboo tube was so difficult to deal with, he felt an inexplicable impatience and anger.

Coincidentally, Ten-faced Rakshasa was also there and saw this scene.

"Damn it, this kid is really too full of himself. How dare he touch my stuff? I'll make sure he pays!"

Just as he was about to erupt, the boss who organized the game said:

"Mr. Cai, would you like to draw a lot? It's very spiritual!"

"Is that so? You're not trying to fool us, are you? Old Hei, you're really not being honest!"
