I hope to see Ran Jing when I get back home, and I think everyone should know the reason why. Having suffered such a huge injustice at work, it's time to take action against this girl.
Pushing open the door, I find Ran Jing stepping out of the bathroom, wiping her still-damp hair. A girl who has just bathed presents a seductive allure, especially when she's a genuine beauty. This version of Ran Jing is what I envision her to be, far more captivating than the one I see during the day. But I can't let myself be swayed by her beauty; I must make my decision clear to her.
"Come, girl, I have something very important to discuss with you," I say, gesturing towards the sofa, my tone serious.
Ran Jing obediently takes a seat, but her eyes hold a look that says, "What do you want now?"
"Today, I experienced a historic injustice at work, something unprecedented. If we were in the Yuan Dynasty, it would be akin to snowfall in June, and you're the one responsible for this colossal injustice."
"And then?"
"After careful consideration and weighing of options, I've made a very cautious decision, and I hope you'll accept it."
"Are you asking me to move out?" Ran Jing's eyes soften beneath my serious expression and calm tone.
I shake my head slightly, still speaking calmly. "It's not that simple."
"So what do you want then?" This time, Ran Jing genuinely can't guess my intentions.
"My decision is that I've learned a profound lesson from this incident, and I promise never to bring anyone home without your permission. Also, I'll reread the 'Treaty of Shimonoseki' to ensure I don't make the same mistake again. But I need you to make another appearance at our company in the next couple of days to clarify the situation."
With my tone dropping, you could say I lack masculine pride, but I don't mind. There's a point Li Ao often mentioned about whether face is more important for men or women, and he chose women. While I can't yet sacrifice my pride in public for a woman, I'm fully willing to do so in private, especially for a beautiful woman.
Finally, Ran Jing's face lights up with a charming smile, realizing that my approach is beyond her expectations but still earning her approval.
"Okay, then how do you want me to help clarify things?"
"You just need to be yourself and go back to the company tomorrow. That's all." Ran Jing has appeared in front of those guys before, twice at the celebration and football match. Yesterday, her overly flamboyant attire prevented them from making the connection between "her" and "her."
The next day, I proudly sit at my desk, awaiting her arrival once again. This time, I can truly revel in the mixed envy and admiration from others, basking in the happiness derived from their covetous glances, and finally vindicating myself of the false accusations.
Ran Jing doesn't disappoint me. Clad in her innocent yet invincible attire, she appears before me, causing every person in the office to take notice, regardless of gender.
Under my guidance, Ran Jing sits casually at my desk, engaging in quiet conversation with me. The focus of the entire office shifts to us, the two casually chatting individuals. They all want to know what we're talking about. If you're curious too, I'm sorry, but those trivial, forgettable words hold no value for me to repeat.
Thirty minutes later, with Ran Jing leaving the office under my escort, everything proceeds smoothly according to my plan. As we approach the company's entrance, I begin to consider how to graciously accept the praise and admiration from those guys with a humble attitude.
Passing by the beautiful MM at the front desk, I deliberately give her a smile that I've practiced in front of the mirror for a long time, which I believe carries profound meaning. As expected, I receive a surprised, jealous, and slightly guilty look in return.
At this moment, Ran Jing flashes a charming smile and says, "I cooperated quite well today, didn't I? Are you satisfied now?"
...
...
Most of the employees in my department were handpicked by me, and this time, I truly admire my own judgment. Even though Ran Jing left behind a profound statement at the end, these guys remained steadfast in their beliefs and saw the truth. I've decided that if circumstances permit at the end of the year, I'll give them the most practical economic rewards possible.
