239: Chapter 237: He Looks Like a Pervert 239: Chapter 237: He Looks Like a Pervert “What exactly do you know now?” Song Qingyu asked with a serious look on her face.
Tangyu shook his head, “I don’t know, if I did, would I still need to ask you?
Let’s not talk about that now; I just want to understand this—it’s somewhat useful to me, that’s all.”
Song Qingyu wasn’t a girl to be easily fooled.
Her keen senses were extremely sharp, a necessary trait for becoming a master detective in Donglin’s police force.
Her investigative skills were renowned in the area.
The more Tangyu refused to speak, the more doubtful Song Qingyu became.
What incommunicable secrets was he hiding?
Could this be related to those people?
Recalling Tangyu’s earlier reluctance to let her inspect the abandoned factory reinforced her suspicions that there must be some connection.
If that was the case, she really should not get involved in this matter, fearing it might draw her into a terrifying vortex.
Seeing the evasive look in Song Qingyu’s eyes, Tangyu realized she must have guessed something.
However, it wasn’t something he could easily explain, so they both fell into a mutual silence.
Song Qingyu didn’t press further and said, “The Yu Family of Capital City is one of the four great families there.
I’ve only heard about this and cannot guarantee it, but the Yu Family holds control over Xuanwu.
Each of the four great families controls one of the nation’s top elite forces, and in this case, the Yu Family supposedly governs Xuanwu.”
Tangyu’s eyebrows raised slightly.
So it was a case of kin fighting kin?
He remembered the Young Master Yu mentioning his second uncle.
Could it be his second uncle wanted to kill him?
This made things quite complicated.
Seeing Tangyu fall silent, Song Qingyu looked at him and added, “There’s something I’d like to remind you of: each of the four great families of Capital City holds immense power, wielding life and death authority.
Even our Donglin City’s four major families pale in comparison.
Truth be told, even if you were to combine the influence of all four major families of Donglin City, it would probably only equal half, or perhaps even less, than that of Capital City’s four great families.
Although our city’s families also control military power, they can hardly compare in tactics to those of Capital City’s.
After all, the second-in-command of the military belongs to one of these four great families.”
Hearing this, Tangyu felt warmed, knowing that Song Qingyu was cautioning him not to meddle with the Yu Family.
In silence, Song Qingyu drove Tangyu back to his company, the trip not wasting much time—it had taken less than two hours, and it was currently around ten-thirty.
Upon returning to the office, Tangyu found no one at the door of Sister Min’s office and headed straight to the cubicle area.
The team was quite busy; only half were there, presumably the rest were out on tasks, and Li Jie was absent.
Reaching his seat, Tangyu was startled to see a familiar figure sitting there.
“What are you doing here?” Tangyu asked, his eyebrow slightly raised.
“Ha!
Tangyu, you’re finally back; I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.
Here, take a seat,” said Li Jie’s sister, smiling and standing up to offer her seat, appearing very attentive.
Sitting nearby, Wang Dazhuang gave Tangyu a look full of suggestive ambiguity, making Tangyu feel the urge to punch him.
“Aren’t you supposed to be in class today?
Why are you here?
This is a company, not a place for you to hang out,” Tangyu said.
Li Jie’s sister pouted and said, “Why so fierce?
Wasn’t it you who told me to try to avoid going to school recently?
So, here I am working at the company.
I work here now, so why can’t I be here?” As she spoke, she even winked at Tangyu, as if flirting.
Tangyu raised an eyebrow.
Indeed, he had said something like that yesterday because he was worried that Li Jie’s sister might fall in with the wrong crowd and it might be difficult to pull her back later.
He hadn’t anticipated that this girl would actually show up to work at the company.
He really wondered how the boss had allowed her to work here, especially in the Planning and Publicity Department.
Seeing Tangyu’s confusion, Li Jie’s sister smiled and said, “You must be wondering how I got a job at the company, right?
Hehe, I’ll just tell you.
It was my brother who got me in, letting me intern here for a month, and yeah, it’s an unpaid internship, so I can work here.”
Tangyu nearly choked on her words.
So she was an unpaid intern, no wonder it was so easy for her; that explained it.
“Now that you are working at the company, you should try to learn properly.
Go find a place and study on your own,” Tangyu said.
“Yeah, my brother is too busy, he really doesn’t have time to mentor me, so he asked me to find you and have you mentor me.
So, from now on, I’ll be learning from you every day.
Wherever you go, I’ll follow,” Li Jie’s sister said with a smile.
Tangyu was speechless.
Li Jie would never have asked her to learn from him; it must have been the girl’s own idea.
“I’m very busy and don’t have time to teach you.
Find someone else,” Tangyu shook his head.
He was genuinely busy.
Even if he wasn’t, he couldn’t really teach.
He could handle cases, but when it came to company processes, advertising planning, and design, he certainly was clueless.
Seeing Tangyu’s lukewarm response, Li Jie’s sister pouted unhappily and said, “Tangyu, I don’t care, I just want to learn with you.
I know you’re busy, and that means I can learn even more.
When you go out to discuss cases, I can come with you.
On one hand, I can help you, and on the other, I can learn a lot of practical stuff.
I don’t care, I just want to follow you.”
Tangyu shook his head, feeling a headache coming on.
The last thing he needed was a woman acting stubborn.
Why on Earth had this girl latched onto him?
At that moment, Wang Dazhuang couldn’t help but laugh gleefully, his face a picture of schadenfreude.
Tangyu shot him a glance and said to Li Jie’s sister, “Besides company matters, I have lots of other things to take care of, and I’m not suitable to take you with me.
How about this—I ask Dazhuang to mentor you, would that work?
Whether in terms of experience or ability, he is better than me.
If you learn from him, you’ll definitely gain a lot, and you’ll also quickly become familiar with the company’s affairs.” Tangyu signaled to Wang Dazhuang with his eyes, hinting at him to agree.
Wang Dazhuang grinned and said, “Li Xiang, sister, Dazhuang has the time.
Follow me and learn; I’ll teach you everything hands-on.
When there’s a case to discuss, I’ll definitely take you with me.
Your Tangyu is a busy man, and he’s our Xin’s driver and assistant.
Although he’s in the Planning and Publicity Department, he actually holds many positions.
Your brother Tangyu hasn’t been at the company for long and doesn’t understand many things about the company.
You really can’t learn much from him.”
“No way, I don’t want to follow you, I won’t follow anyone but Tangyu,” Li Xiang said without hesitation, shaking her head in refusal.
This had Li Xiang’s head aching—this girl really was trying to latch onto her.
“Then why don’t you want to be with Brother Dazhuang?” Tangyu asked.
Li Xiang glanced at Wang Dazhuang and said, “He looks like a pervert.
He’s been staring at me all morning, his eyes all lecherous.
You can tell he’s no good.
If I were with him, he would definitely take advantage of me.
I don’t want that at all.”
“Uh—” Wang Dazhuang suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.
Although he was a lecher, he wouldn’t really have any sleazy thoughts about an underage girl, would he?
Besides, the girl was Li Xiang’s younger sister, which made it even more of a misunderstanding for Wang Dazhuang.
He just thought that she was fun, nothing more than a little sister.
Tangyu also laughed and said, “Your Brother Dazhuang, although a lecher, wouldn’t harbor any ill intentions toward you, so rest assured.
A lecher doesn’t necessarily mean a bad person.”
“Brother Tangyu, how can you say that too?
I’m actually quite honest,” Wang Dazhuang said with a wronged face.
Li Xiang blinked her eyes, half-believing, and said, “Really?
I’m so beautiful, so cute, so pure; if he’s a lecher, why wouldn’t he have improper thoughts about me?
Could it be that my charm is not enough?”
This question choked both Tangyu and Wang Dazhuang.
“Because you are Li Jie’s sister,” Tangyu said.
Li Xiang was even more puzzled: “What’s that got to do with my brother?
Just because he’s my brother, you wouldn’t have those feelings?”
“Uh, no,” Tangyu shook his head.
Li Xiang suddenly felt a bit sad and dejected.
Tangyu was also at a loss for words, wondering how the conversation had quickly turned to the verge of tears.
Little girls really are tough to deal with.
Comparatively, Lin Feifei was much easier.
“Alright, Li Xiang, how about this—if I’m at the company, you can follow me and learn.
When I’m not there, you can follow Brother Dazhuang,” Tangyu said, seeing Li Xiang’s tearful face and feeling somewhat sympathetic.
Li Xiang then lifted her head, her face suddenly blooming like a radiant flower, and nodded, saying, “Okay.”
“Then go familiarize yourself with the company’s basic information, our department’s responsibilities, and some basic company rules on your brother’s computer,” Tangyu said.
“OK!” Li Xiang nodded and, like an obedient little rabbit, scampered off to Li Jie’s desk.
After seeing off Li Xiang, Tangyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head.
Wang Dazhuang, however, smiled mischievously and said, “Brother Tangyu, no need to deny it, she just wants to follow you, no matter if you go to the ends of the earth, she will still follow you, even in your sleep.”
“Oh come on—” Tangyu kicked Wang Dazhuang.
“Ouch, Brother Tangyu, those weren’t my words, they were little sister Li Xiang’s.
Jeez, so cheesy, nowadays the 90’s kids are too unrestrained,” Wang Dazhuang said with a grin.
“Always with your glib tongue,” Tangyu said irritably.
Wang Dazhuang said, “Brother Tangyu, have you noticed?”
“Noticed what?” Tangyu asked.
“What do you think—little sister Li Xiang obviously has a crush on you.
She adores you, is infatuated with you.
Look at her, a young girl, skipping school to intern at the company just to cling to you, even saying such mushy stuff.
Wow, isn’t it obvious, totally blatant.
I bet, Li Xiang definitely has fallen for you.
Hehe, Brother Tangyu, your luck with ladies is incredible, even an underage girl is smitten by you—truly a life so awesome it needs no explanation, I’m so jealous.” Wang Dazhuang said.
This issue did indeed make Tangyu pause; there might really be such a possibility.
If that was the case, then it was another headache.
Girls of that age are just beginning to experience feelings of love.
Out of admiration, they can inexplicably develop feelings for someone.
However, whether their affection could last was another matter.
“Mind your own business,” Tangyu kicked Wang Dazhuang again.
