271: Chapter 270: The Dean’s Call 271: Chapter 270: The Dean’s Call After finishing breakfast, Zhao Xinxin and Liu Shanshan had packed up their things and thrown them into the car, evidently not planning to come back again, which made Tangyu feel a faint sense of loss.
With the addition of Sister Xin and Liu Shanshan, Princess Apartments had indeed become livelier and the atmosphere had improved a lot.
As soon as Tangyu entered the office area, she was hit by a strong, somewhat pungent scent of perfume.
In front of her, three figures suddenly appeared, boldly flinging themselves at her.
Looking closely, who could they be if not the “Three Golden Flowers”?
These three dressed flamboyantly every day, each in their own distinctive style, though their styles were quite similar in essence.
In fact, Tangyu felt these three were truly born sisters in spirit, who had likely teamed up because they were so alike, even earning the nickname “Three Golden Flowers”.
But in terms of their attire, there were some minor differences.
Zhou Mei was the most enchanting; if she were a bit more beautiful, she would definitely be an enchantress incarnate.
Wang Ruoruo was the sexiest, dressed in a low-cut outfit that offered a splendid view to those nearby—truly a divine artifact for tempting men.
Even Tangyu couldn’t help but take several, no, many glances.
After all, Wang Ruoruo was almost completely pressed against Tangyu, and since Wang Ruoruo was not very tall, Tangyu’s view from above was simply divine, capturing everything that should and shouldn’t be seen—there was really no helping it.
Moreover, the most dangerous thing was that Wang Ruoruo not only dressed sexily, but she also seemed to intentionally display certain parts of herself right in front of Tangyu’s eyes.
This woman, her innate coquettishness was definitely not inferior to Zhou Mei’s.
As for Zhong Xiaoling, who among the three seemed the most serene, she indeed lived up to her name—light and graceful with a petite frame and not so voluptuous.
However, she had the prettiest face and the best skin among them, and dressed very fashionably.
If her figure had been better, she might not have been much inferior to Liu Shanshan.
Overall, these three were perhaps not perfect but surely more than enough to be considered beauties by most men.
And with their charm, they probably had many guys kneeling at their feet already.
Beyond looks, a woman’s greatest weapon is her body.
And for a man looking at a woman, the most lethal temptation is her lower body.
Any woman has the ability to satisfy a man’s needs below the waist.
That’s why there’s a saying: women are all the same with the lights off.
Regardless of beauty, at least the body’s structure is the same.
Faced with these three bold and open women, Tangyu always felt like a little lamb who had fallen into a wolf’s den, wary of being devoured if not careful.
Among them, Zhou Mei was the boldest; she always flirted boldly with Tangyu, and this time was no exception.
Zhou Meimei leaned directly into Tangyu’s arms, leaving Tangyu neither able to retreat nor to push her away.
Tangyu could only force a smile and said, “Ladies, what brings you to the office so early today?
Seems like you’re all in a good mood.”
“Giggle, of course, we’re in high spirits.
We came to the office so early just to wait for you,” Zhou Mei replied coquettishly, her laugh quivering in a heart-fluttering manner.
“Wait for me?
Is there something up?” Tangyu asked.
“Yes, yes!
The three of us beauties would like to treat you to dinner tonight, no return until drunk, how about that?” Zhou Mei said.
This was actually a fine invitation which Tangyu initially had no reason to refuse, yet she wasn’t sure if she had any plans for the evening, hesitated for a moment, and said, “That’s very kind of you.”
“Not at all!
You handed us the Wanjin Industrial case and allowed us success in nailing it yesterday.
Just the hidden profits let us earn a month’s salary, so treating you to a meal as a thank you is only proper.
What, Great Marshal Tangyu, you don’t have other plans tonight, do you?” Zhou Mei said.
Tangyu then realized it was because of that matter, “That’s a small issue, no need for such formality, we’re all friends here.
This doesn’t even bear mentioning.
Though I haven’t made any appointments, I’m also not sure if I’ll be free tonight.
Can I get back to you on this later?”
“Hehe, Lord Tangyu, would you please not act so cool and so handsome, what if we three sisters fall hopelessly in love with you?
Then we’ll have to pester you endlessly,” Zhou Mei chuckled, and even licked her lips in a most seductive manner.
Tangyu was left speechless.
“It’s rare for us three sisters to invite someone for a meal, and no one at the company has enjoyed this privilege yet.
If you refuse us, Tangyu, that would make us very sad,” Zhou Mei said with a sorrowful look.
“Umm—”
“Pfft!”
The Three Golden Flowers laughed, and Zhou Mei playfully slapped Tangyu’s chest, saying, “Just kidding, I know you’re a busy man, and always have beauties asking you out.
But even if you’re not free tonight, we’ve made a reservation in advance, okay?
Remember that.
Give us a chance to treat you sometime.
Otherwise, hehe!” Zhou Mei laughed with a slightly sly and malevolent grin, making Tangyu feel that if he didn’t find time for them to treat him to a meal, these three might figure out other ways to deal with him.
One should never provoke women.
“Okay, I’ll call you tonight if I’m free,” Tangyu said.
“Hehe, good boy, come on, give us a kiss,” Zhou Mei teased with a smile, actually puckering up and leaning towards Tangyu.
Tangyu was simply unable to fend off such an attack.
Tangyu believed, if he didn’t dodge, Zhou Mei would really dare to take advantage of him.
Such a blissful predicament left Tangyu feeling rather melancholic.
Being flirted with as a man felt the same as when a woman is flirted with.
Tangyu had never been flirted with like this before.
But faced with those blazing red lips, should he dodge or not dodge?
“Ahem!”
Just then, a light cough came, rescuing Tangyu.
Zhou Mei, who was just about to press her lips against Tangyu’s face, immediately pulled back and with a strange chuckle said, “Hehe, it’s the great beauty Liu Shanshan.
We were just playing around, Tangyu, the handsome guy.
remember what we talked about before.” After saying that, Zhou Mei and her two friends quickly left.
Seeing Liu Shanshan’s slightly displeased expression, Tangyu knew that she was probably jealous.
But being the object of a girl’s jealousy felt quite nice; after all, it meant he mattered to her.
“They were just playing around, you know their personality.” Tangyu explained.
Liu Shanshan glared at Tangyu and said, “They play around, and you cooperate so well, I saw you enjoying the waiting, not shying away at all.
Don’t deny it, you like being kissed by her.”
“Ahem, I definitely don’t like it, I was just too embarrassed to dodge.
No, actually, I was also stunned just now.” Tangyu said, somewhat embarrassed, he was struggling whether to dodge or not, and as he hesitated, it turned out like this.
“Hmph.” Liu Shanshan huffed, looking somewhat angry.
Tangyu glanced at Liu Shanshan, wanting to coax her but not knowing how, perhaps Liu Shanshan was still jealous about the morning’s incident?
“Shanshan, you seem very unhappy, what’s wrong?” Tangyu asked.
Liu Shanshan’s expression shifted, and she immediately jumped up, grabbing Tangyu’s hand and said, “Oh right, I forgot the main thing, something bad happened.
The orphanage director called, something has happened and he wants us to go there, we better hurry.”
Tangyu let Liu Shanshan pull him along, raising an eyebrow and saying, “What happened, Shanshan, don’t panic.”
Liu Shanshan shook her head and said, “I’m not very clear about the specifics, the director didn’t explain clearly, but I could hear urgency in his voice, it must be something serious.
I vaguely heard it might be related to Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yu.”
“Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yu, weren’t they adopted?
If it’s related to them, could it be that something happened to them?” Tangyu raised his eyes sharply.
Liu Shanshan also appeared very worried, “I’m worried about that too, let’s go see the director first.”
The two hailed a cab, and driven by Liu Shanshan’s urging, they arrived at the orphanage in twenty minutes.
After a few days, the orphanage seemed a bit different; the previously dilapidated gate was now gone and the dormitory area had been repainted, plus a new plot was marked out, likely for a new building.
Seeing this, Tangyu knew that the $1 million donation from Gao Mingsheng had been put to good use; the orphanage badly needed some renovation to be livable.
The orphanage was quiet with no children around, likely because Director Jiang had resolved their household registrations and sent them to school.
Seeing such major changes, Liu Shanshan felt extremely content, as these were things the director had updated her about over the phone.
These improvements had been her long-standing wish, which Tangyu had effortlessly fulfilled, deeply touching her heart.
As soon as they walked in, the director rushed over.
He was disheveled and looked exhausted, clearly stressed out.
“Tangyu, you’re finally here, something terrible has happened.
Something has happened to Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yu.” The director grabbed Tangyu’s hand, his voice filled with emotion, nearly bursting into tears.
Liu Shanshan felt a sudden thump in her heart and asked, “Director, what happened to Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yu?”
Tangyu’s brows rose sharply, a fierce look flashing in his eyes, “Director, is it the couple who adopted Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yu, are they frauds?”
“Frauds, how could they be frauds?
Didn’t they say they would donate $300,000 to the orphanage?” Liu Shanshan was taken aback; she remembered Tangyu telling her that day he felt something was off with the couple.
At the time, she didn’t think much of it, assuming it wasn’t probable.
After all, having orphans adopted was a good thing.
Now thinking about it, Liu Shanshan couldn’t help but worry.
The director also looked self-blaming and said, “It’s all my fault, I’m just too trusting; the older I get, the more foolish I become.
It’s my fault for easily trusting others.
If something happens to Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yu, I won’t have the face to live.”
“Director, please don’t think like that, the children need you.” Liu Shanshan was startled and quickly comforted him, her face full of a pleading look as she turned towards Tangyu.
Tangyu was silent for a moment and then said, “Director, Shanshan, don’t be too anxious, even if they are frauds, it’s likely just for money; Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yu won’t be harmed.
Director, please explain the situation in detail, I will definitely bring back Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yu safely.”
The director and Liu Shanshan looked at Tangyu, gratitude filling their faces.
