Chapter 35
She Seemed Like a Baby Penguin
Nan Ge’s mind raced as she tried to figure out the problem. “Can you change the word ‘tempted’?”
Nan Zhe snorted coldly. He was extremely angry. “You certainly have a lot of demands. Didn’t you say this yourself back then?”
“Is… is that so?” She scratched her head, feeling that her brother was lying to her, but she had no proof.
“So, you’ve liked him since then.”
This time, Nan Zhe’s tone was even more determined.
“I didn’t!” Nan Ge almost shouted she was innocent. However, no matter what she said now, it seemed very weak.
Because Nan Zhe had already decided on this matter.
“Then let me ask you again. How do you feel about him now?”
“Feelings? How do I explain this?”
This was very subtle. She did not know how to describe it.
“Does your heart beat when you see him?”
“I think… my heart beats when I see anyone, right?”
If her heart stopped beating, it was a sign of death.
Nan Zhe, “…”
“What I’m saying is, do you feel your heart beat faster?”
Nan Ge was cooperative. She rubbed her chin and pondered for two minutes. “I think I only feel this way when I see the soup dumplings at the third canteen.”
“Oh, that’s not right. I’ll probably have the same reaction when I see the new car you give me next month!”
Taking a deep breath, Nan Zhe restrained himself from crushing the wine glass in his hand. He held back the swear words that were about to spill out of his mouth and pointed in the direction of the bedroom with a smile.
“Can I go now?”
Nan Zhe nodded.
Nan Ge felt that his expression was a little strange. She got up hesitantly. “Then I’ll go to bed. Good night?”
“Get lost immediately.” Nan Zhe closed his eyes, no longer looking at her.
It was an eyesore.
“Get lost. Don’t make me scold you.”
——
After she left, Nan Zhe slammed the wine glass down.
He took out his phone from the table and scrolled through WeChat carefully. He found the group chat containing his friends.
[Is anyone there? I need to talk!]
Friend: [1]
[1]
Nan Zhe held back his vulgarities and sent a voice message: [My sister likes Shen Yanqing!]
[?]
[!]
[…]
Looking at the messy punctuation below, Nan Zhe cursed: [Can’t you say something?]
His good friend: [Didn’t you say two days ago that Shen Yanqing was seducing your sister? Did he succeed?]
Nan Zhe’s voice was full of emotion, and his tone was impassioned: [No, I was wrong about that old man!]
[My sister has secretly liked him for many years. She has a crush on him! She has a crush, understand?]
[Wuwuwu, I didn’t keep an eye on her. Now she has fallen for some other guy right under my eye!]
[Moreover, she has never seen that old man before. Just by hearing his voice, she has been infatuated with him for so long!]
[Damn it!]
——
The next morning, Nan Ge came out of the bathroom after washing up and saw Nan Zhe sitting on the sofa with his arms crossed.
She was so frightened that she stopped in her tracks. She realized that he was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
“Big Bro, did you sit here all night?”
A certain someone looked up at her and smiled obsequiously. “Morning my dear sister. Are you going to class? Let me send you. No, wait. Would you like some breakfast first? I’ll get the maid to cook.”
“You only have the strength to study after eating. Not eating breakfast is not good for your health.”
His tone was so soft that it felt incredibly gentle. For some reason, it felt a little strange.
Something was wrong. Level 1 alarm!
Nan Ge gulped and quickly hugged her coat tightly as she leaned against the door.
“Well, I won’t be eating.”
“Big Bro, if you have the money, you should see a doctor about your brain first.”
Nan Zhe, “!”
——
...
Today, Nan Ge was back in business and appeared at the Huasheng Group president’s office at noon.
However, Shen Yanqing had a business gathering at noon and did not stay for lunch. When Nan Ge went over, he had just left.
In the afternoon, when the restaurant was closed, the manager called everyone over and began to check their salaries.
“Nan Ge, come in.”
In the corridor, Nan Ge quickly stood up when she heard her name.
She had been waiting for this moment!
“This is your salary. Take a look and see if there are any problems.”
Nan Ge sat down opposite the manager as though she was taking an exam and read her payslip carefully three times. “Hm? Why is it more than what I calculated?”
She had kept a record of the orders she had sent. After all, she had to prevent her stingy manager from taking the opportunity to deduct her salary.
She was puzzled by the sum which had exceeded her expectations!
Nan Ge lowered her voice and leaned forward. “Your shady scheme is too obvious. You could have just given me around $200 more. This is too much.”
...
“…” The manager coughed. “This salary has been carefully checked. There’s no shady business.”
“Huh?”
She tapped the bonus column above. “So what’s the money for this part?”
She had just started working and was working part-time, so she did not have full-time perks. Logically speaking, this part should be empty.
The manager glanced at it. “This is the reward you’ve received for good reviews in the past two weeks.”
“Good reviews?”
“Yeah. Didn’t you see it on the app?”
Not noticing the change in her expression, the manager turned on his phone and said, “A customer seems to be giving you good reviews every day.”
“Haven’t you seen it yourself?”
With that, the manager turned the phone around and placed it in front of her.
Nan Ge knew that she had good reviews, but she did not notice any small essays.
She picked up the manager’s phone and looked at it carefully.
Five minutes later, she came back to her senses when the manager spoke.
“Do you have any other questions? If not, the salary will be transferred later.”
“Ah, okay.”
Nan Ge got up and walked out of the office with the salary slip in her hand.
She found a corner in the hall and sat down. She took out her phone and logged into her app.
January 8th, anonymous user comment: [I learned how to order takeout today. I can order it myself in the future. This time, it’s the restaurant’s delivery staff, Nan Ge. She’s very polite and enthusiastic. She’ll carefully help us distribute our food and introduce the restaurant’s main highlights seriously. By the way, she really looks like a baby penguin.]
January 9th, anonymous user comment: [Nan Ge arrived six minutes earlier than yesterday. The roads are slippery on a snowy day. I hope she’ll be careful on the way…]
...
January 20th, anonymous user comment: [I’m going on a business trip soon. I probably won’t be able to see Nan Ge for the next few days. I hope everything goes well for her while I’m gone.]
...
January 23rd, anonymous user comment: [The road in front of the estate was frozen. Nan Ge had an accident, but she was not late. I hope the restaurant will pay attention to her health. If she feels unwell, please contact me at any time… However, I also need to reflect. I’ll try not to order at night in the future.]
January 24th, anonymous user comment: [It’s a pity that I didn’t see Nan Ge this afternoon, but I heard from her colleague that she came ten minutes early to deliver food today. She’s in a good mood… I wonder if the injury on her hand has recovered. See you tomorrow.]
