Seeing Xu Zhengyang's triumphant smile, Cheng Baola threw a playful punch at him.
However, as soon as the car was on the road, Cheng Baola couldn't contain her excitement and exclaimed from the car window:
"I can finally open the restaurant!!"
Her voice was accompanied by Xu Zhengyang's scolding.
"Buckle up! Buckle up!"
...
The next morning, Cheng Baola, who hadn't slept well due to excitement, was still incredibly happy.
Xu Zhengyang drove her straight to Yunhai Club to resign and handle the handover.
The manager, Sister Sun, was shocked and thought Cheng Baola must have done something to offend her.
The boss, Lin Zuxian, had specifically instructed to treat Cheng Baola well and look for opportunities to promote her, mainly to build a good relationship with Xu Zhengyang.
But now Cheng Baola had come to resign.
After learning that she was moving on to better opportunities, Sister Sun could only help her with the resignation and membership handover.
After handling the resignation, the two of them drove directly to a real estate agency in the city.
Jiahe Real Estate Agency.
At the entrance, Cheng Baola said she was thirsty and went to a nearby convenience store to buy a bottle of water.
Xu Zhengyang nodded and walked into the agency on his own.
The agency was spacious, with nearly twenty computers set up. A manager-like man closest to the door quickly showed a professional smile and came over to greet him.
"Hello, sir, how can I help you today?"
"Oh, I'm looking to rent a storefront."
"Great! Please have a seat here, and I'll find the most professional real estate consultant to assist you!"
The manager's attitude was very pleasant, and he smiled as he directed Xu Zhengyang to the sofa area.
At the same time, the manager waved to a girl.
"Xiaoya, come over here."
A girl with a baby face slowly stood up from her seat, first glancing over in their direction.
Xu Zhengyang also casually looked at the girl. She was very pretty, with a delicate baby face, bangs, and a small ponytail, giving off some charm.
However, her figure was average, not at all S-shaped, and her hips were somewhat unattractive.
To someone like Xu Zhengyang, who was into fitness, her figure had zero appeal.
But since people generally judge by appearance alone, she was quite stunning.
Xu Zhengyang gave her a friendly smile.
However, to his surprise, the girl's lips curled downward, and her eyes seemed to show a hint of disgust.
Such obvious emotions did not escape Xu Zhengyang's notice.
The girl walked over with a displeased expression, as if someone owed her money.
"Xiaoya, please find a storefront for this gentleman."
The manager noticed her attitude but, having already called her, could only force himself to speak.
"Manager, I've already said that I only serve female clients!"
Xiaoya said unhappily.
At this moment, Xu Zhengyang could hear people around them whispering.
"Hey, it's starting. I heard she only served female clients even when she was at Shifang Agency."
"Well, she does serve male clients, but only those she finds refined."
"What's with this attitude? If you're so precious, maybe you shouldn't work in service."
"I heard she thinks low-end men only focus on her looks, which disgusts her."
"Well, she is indeed beautiful, and her performance was top-notch there, so she gets pampered wherever she goes."
Colleagues murmured quietly.
The manager's face grew somewhat dark; no matter how precious Xiaoya thought she was, she couldn't confront the leader in front of clients.
Just as the manager was about to reprimand Xiaoya, Xu Zhengyang intervened.
"Anyone will do. Since there's a rule, let's have someone else. How about this young lady?"
Xu Zhengyang pointed to a bespectacled girl who was sitting and staring blankly.
He was quite easygoing. Since the girl didn't want to help, he didn't see the need to force her.
However, the manager had a bit of temper.
"I'm very sorry, sir. Please give me a moment. I will make sure she assists you today!"
The manager was both worried about Xu Zhengyang's anger and wanted to assert his authority.
He turned around and was about to reprimand Xiaoya.
Xu Zhengyang, feeling helpless, said:
"I'm really not upset. I'm in a hurry. She's no different from anyone else in my eyes. Just make it quick."
But to his surprise, Xiaoya gave him another cold glance.
Not different from anyone else in his eyes?
Hmph.
She had seen many people trying to act aloof to get her attention. She looked down on Xu Zhengyang but also found his disdain fitting.
No matter what, she wasn't going to serve this repulsive man.
Seeing Xu Zhengyang's response, the manager took a deep breath to calm his anger, signaled to the bespectacled girl, and then apologized to Xu Zhengyang again.
At that moment, Cheng Baola entered the room cheerfully with two bottles of water.
The men in the room were momentarily stunned. This reaction was normal; wherever Cheng Baola went, she was an undeniable focal point.
With her tall and athletic build, perfect curves, and beautiful face, she was a sight to behold.
Especially her smile—playful, cheerful, and like sunshine in a sea of flowers.
Her pure aura combined with her alluring appearance made her the ideal figure of every homebody's dream.
"Which one do you want?"
Cheng Baola walked up to Xu Zhengyang with a bottle of water and a drink, playfully asking.
"Drink the one you have left."
Xu Zhengyang said grumpily, causing Cheng Baola to stick out her tongue and smile.
Xu Zhengyang knew her well. She was into fitness, so she feared gaining weight from drinks but always wanted to taste them. Therefore, he ended up drinking whatever she had left.
Their slightly intimate conversation made everyone misinterpret their relationship.
Meanwhile, Xiaoya's face darkened, and she was somewhat incredulous.
She didn't expect Xu Zhengyang to have such a beautiful girlfriend!
The colleagues couldn't help but chuckle.
It was clear who looked awkward. Xiaoya was decent, but compared to Cheng Baola, she was simply inferior.
Especially when comparing Cheng Baola's stunning figure to Xiaoya's flat hips.
The latter was almost nauseating.
It seemed Xu Zhengyang's earlier comment about Xiaoya being no different from anyone else wasn't just talk.
After all, how could someone who slept with someone like Cheng Baola ever be interested in Xiaoya?
A deep sense of defeat welled up in Xiaoya.
At this moment, the manager added fuel to the fire.
"Well, Xiaoya, if you can't handle it, just sit down. Kele, please assist these two."
The bespectacled girl named Kele walked over with a bright smile, pushing up her glasses and greeting them cheerfully.
Xiaoya took a deep breath and reluctantly returned to her seat.
She kept glancing over, only to find Xu Zhengyang completely ignoring her, which left her feeling stifled.
