42: Chapter 40 Do Not Envy 42: Chapter 40 Do Not Envy Turning around, Tangyu saw Wang Dazhuang smiling at him in a lascivious way, which was laced with a hint of wickedness and admiration.

“Tangyu, you really are my idol.

I thought you were just a bit introverted, but I was wrong, you’re outright flirtatious and brazen.

Lustful with a hint of the wolf, truly the cream of the crop in our Wolf Clan.

No need to say anything, I get it, I get all of it.

I’m on my knees for you, worshiping the great god,” Wang Dazhuang said with an exaggerated expression, but the admiration in his heart was genuine.

He had also seen the new assistant of Sister Xinxin a couple of times and each time, he was utterly mesmerized, as if she were a goddess.

But such a goddess, he only dared fantasize about, not to defile.

How he wished he could just shake his strong body and approach that beautiful woman with a line.

But—

He didn’t dare.

Yes, he felt ashamed, he couldn’t even make himself speak up.

Let alone in the office in front of the leaders, even in a deserted place outside, he wouldn’t dare.

But Tangyu dared to do what others didn’t.

Just for that, he truly deserved Wang Dazhuang’s utmost admiration.

“Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?

I just wanted to check on her health,” Tangyu said, glancing at Wang Dazhuang.

“What—”

Wang Dazhuang suddenly cried out, his mouth wide enough to fit a fist, staring at Tangyu: “You—rock on—actually want to check out someone else’s body, no wonder people say you’re sick…”

“Err, no, not like that.

What I mean by check is to examine,” Tangyu said, but after speaking, he felt he still had not clarified himself properly.

Wang Dazhuang immediately put his arm around Tangyu’s shoulder and said, “Alright, no more words brother, from now on I’ll call you bro.

I’m set on following you, Brother Tangyu, I’m bitter, meeting you too late, or I wouldn’t still be in this mess.”

Tangyu was at a loss for words and couldn’t be bothered to explain any further, as they say, to explain is to cover up.

True innocence cannot be tarnished, even with ink.

Of course, Tangyu also knew that Wang Dazhuang just had a joking nature, and found this way of interacting quite agreeable.

“Wait for a second.” As Tangyu and Wang Dazhuang turned and had not walked far, a voice as pleasing as silver bells rang in their ears.

When he heard this voice, Tangyu was slightly startled as he recognized it as that of the beautiful woman they had just encountered.

Why had she come back?

“Hehe, is the beauty calling us?” Wang Dazhuang asked in an amorous tone.

Tangyu looked calmly at the beautiful woman, but his gaze swept over her, causing a nearly imperceptible furrow of his brows.

The beautiful woman seemed annoyed by Tangyu’s examining look, glaring at him twice and asked coldly, “Are you Tangyu?”

Spurt—

Wang Dazhuang, his face full of fantasies, almost bit his tongue, puzzled by the beautiful woman who had just bereated Tangyu as sick, and now she was back again?

“Yes, I am Tangyu,” Tangyu nodded in confirmation.

“Come with me,” the cold woman left those words and turned to leave.

Tangyu pondered for a moment, then followed her.

Wang Dazhuang grabbed Tangyu’s arm, the envy in his eyes intensifying, “Bro, I kneel down to you again, my heart’s goddess just like that—”

“Cut it out, be serious,” Tangyu shot him a glance, and Wang Dazhuang smacked his lips, shaking his head.

The woman walked briskly, forcing Tangyu to quicken his steps to keep up, and he soon realized she had led him to Sister Xinxin’s office.

“Sister Xinxin, did you want to see me?” Tangyu’s gaze immediately moved to Zhao Xinxin, and the beautiful woman had posted herself next to Zhao Xinxin, prompting Tangyu’s eyes to flick over her once more.

He was curious how Sister Xinxin had two such pretty assistants?

And he himself was somewhat of an assistant; weren’t there too many assistants already?

Thinking of Liu Shanshan, Tangyu couldn’t help but compare this beautiful woman with Liu Shanshan.

The woman clearly came from high society, not just any ordinary family girl.

Her demeanor, manner of speaking, and the aura she emitted all spoke to her upbringing in elite circles.

Furthermore, her casual dress didn’t really suggest she was at work.

This beautiful woman seemed to have quite the background.

Zhao Xinxin’s gaze swept over the woman and Tangyu briefly, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she asked, “What’s the matter, do you two have some kind of grudge between you?”

The woman glanced at Zhao Xinxin and then shot Tangyu a cold glare, huffing slightly without saying much.

Tangyu appeared with a grievance and said, “Sister Xinxin, this beautiful woman seems to have misunderstood me.

I just thought she looked a little pale and wanted to show some concern, but she seemed to have mistaken me for a womanizer.”

“I’m feeling quite well.

Your eyes have been undisciplined since you arrived, staring at me.

If you’re not a womanizer, then what are you?” the woman said.

Zhao Xinxin couldn’t help but smile secretly, “Alright, Xiaoxi, you might really have misunderstood Tangyu.

Actually, he’s a doctor, and his medical skills are extremely impressive.”

Zhang Xiaoxi paused, surprised by the claim.

She wouldn’t have believed it if anyone else had made it, but coming from Zhao Xinxin, she tended to believe it.

She looked at Zhao Xinxin again, puzzled, and then back at Tangyu.

“Tangyu, what’s going on here?

I can’t see anything wrong with Xiaoxi’s complexion either,” Zhao Xinxin said seriously, as she believed that Tangyu wouldn’t talk nonsense without reason.

Since he said so, there might indeed be something wrong with Xiaoxi’s health.

With a serious face, Tangyu replied, “Sister Xin, this Xiaoxi— the beautiful lady does indeed have an unusual pallor.

She looks fine on the surface, but beneath there’s a hint of a chilly aura.

The symptoms are a bit odd and I can’t quite put my finger on it at the moment without a thorough check-up.

However, if I’m wrong, Xiaoxi, you should frequently experience cold sweats in your palms, right?”

Zhang Xiaoxi opened her mouth, a look of surprise in her eyes as she stared at Tangyu.

It took her a moment before she said, “How did you know?”

Tangyu said, “Then it seems I haven’t made a mistake after all.

Palms sweating coldly is not normal, though it’s not necessarily a terrible sign.

As for the specific conditions, I’m not sure at the moment unless I perform a complete examination.”

Zhang Xiaoxi immediately shook her head and said, “There’s no need for that.

I’ve always been very healthy and haven’t had any problems.

I’ve even been checked out in several hospitals and everything’s fine, so I am healthy.

Alright, Tangyu, I misunderstood you earlier.

My name is Zhang Xiaoxi, you can just call me Xiaoxi from now on.”

Tangyu nodded.

Since the other party was not open to further discussion, he naturally chose not to say more.

“Tangyu, how do you feel on your first day at work?” Zhao Xinxin suddenly asked.

Tangyu smiled and said, “Thanks for asking, Sister Xin.

I feel very good.

The colleagues are very enthusiastic and Sister Min is also nice.

I believe I’ll be able to integrate into the team quickly.”

Zhao Xinxin nodded and said, “That’s good to hear.

I also hope you can get along well with your colleagues.

Although Lin Dong arranged for you to join us, I still distinguish between work and personal matters.

On the job, I won’t give you any special treatment.

Xiao Ya has assigned you to work under Fang Min, and she will arrange all your work-related tasks.

Whether you do well or not, you’ll be treated according to the company’s regulations.”

Tangyu replied, “That’s absolutely fine.

I’ll work hard and learn.”

“Glad to hear it.

But I’ve heard that you had a disagreement with your team’s deputy leader, Li Jie, today?” Zhao Xinxin said.

Tangyu immediately replied, “That was my fault.”

“Oh?

And what exactly was your mistake?” Zhao Xinxin asked.

“Well—”

“Hmm,” Zhao Xinxin snorted lightly.

“I won’t interfere with matters among colleagues, but you must coexist peacefully and not stir up any conflict.

If a dispute does arise, I’ll handle it impartially, and I might even side with Li Jie, since he’s a veteran and you’re the newcomer.

I hope you understand this.

However, overall, your performance today was commendable.

I’m aware that you and Wang Dazhuang landed the Taihe account, which is good.

I hope you’ll continue to excel and maintain this level.”

Tangyu nodded and said, “I will, Sister Xin.” He hadn’t expected that Sister Xin had called him over to indirectly lecture him.

It seemed in the workplace, the General Manager truly is the General Manager.

Suddenly, Zhao Xinxin turned to Zhang Xiaoxi and instructed, “Xiaoxi, make me a cup of coffee.”

Zhang Xiaoxi nodded and quickly left the office.

Once Zhang Xiaoxi had left, Zhao Xinxin’s expression grew stern again as she looked seriously at Tangyu and said, “Tell me honestly, is there anything really wrong with Xiaoxi’s health?”

After considering for a moment, Tangyu still shook his head and said, “Sister Xin, as I’ve already said, I can’t be certain right now.

Xiaoxi’s complexion does have an odd quality to it, and without a thorough examination, it’s tough to make any judgement.

The situation could be bad, but it’s also possible that it’s nothing.

But from what I see, Xiaoxi seems to be very healthy, so there’s no need to assume the worst.

It might just be a minor issue.

As long as there’s no serious health concern, it should be fine.”

Zhao Xinxin narrowed her eyes and said, “But you made it sound so serious just now.

Alright, go back to work.”

“Alright then, Sister Xin, I’ll be off.” Tangyu stood and left, heading straight back to the office.

Upon his return, he could clearly feel that almost everyone’s gaze was turned toward him, with some wearing strange expressions.

Looking at Wang Dazhuang, Tangyu saw him smirking with schadenfreude.

Tangyu immediately knew that the guy must have been spreading the story about him and Zhang Xiaoxi around the office, probably even embellishing it.

Tangyu walked directly up to Wang Dazhuang, who was still gleefully giving him a knowing look.

“Heh heh, Brother Yu, how did it go?

Did you sort it out?” Wang Dazhuang asked eagerly.

Tangyu gave him a blank look and replied irritably, “Sort out your sister.

We’re perfectly innocent.

Don’t think everyone is as lecherous and sordid as you are.

Mind your thoughts.”

“Don’t say that, Brother Yu.

I’m just envious, that’s all.

It’s sour grapes for me.

So, tell me, what did the beauty want with you?” Wang Dazhuang’s curiosity was insatiable.

“Don’t be envious.

It will get you nowhere.

I’m not telling you,” Tangyu said.

“Er…

come on, can’t I just call you brother?

Just tell me secretly, I promise I won’t tell anyone,” Wang Dazhuang pleaded.

Tangyu replied, “Alright, I’ll just be blunt about it then— nothing happened.”

“Uh…”
