"Hehe~ That’s the idea." Xu Qingfan shared his thoughts with Zhang Chunxue verbatim.
The betting odds for Spain’s shocking 0:1 loss to Switzerland had been released a few days earlier, not as high as he’d expected since it was a low-scoring victory, the odds were only 13.5, but that wasn’t considered low either.
Zhang Chunxue propped her cheek with one hand, looking at him with interest. In her pleasant, mature voice, she asked, "How do you know Spain will definitely lose 0:1 to Switzerland?"
Before Xu Qingfan could start to answer, she asked and answered her question, "Alright, I know now, Xiao Fan is the old know-it-all, right?"
"Hehe~ Auntie, you really get ." Xu Qingfan nodded vigorously.
Zhang Chunxue smiled charmingly and walked over to pat his head, "Always up to mischief. I’ll listen to you this ti, but just this once."
"Auntie, trust , our app will definitely beco a hit." Xu Qingfan cheekily pushed her down into the sofa.
"Ouch~ What are you doing?"
"What am I doing? Of course, I’m giving Auntie a massage. You must be tired from the business trip these past few days!"
Xu Qingfan, without any hesitation, slipped off her black high heels, lifting her feet, sheathed in flesh-colored transparent socks, onto his lap.
"You little rascal~" Seeing resisting was futile, Zhang Chunxue let him have his way.
Today, Auntie was clad in a suit with long trousers, so she didn’t have to worry about exposing herself, and moreover, it was just the two of them in the large office.
Xu Qingfan’s fingers kneaded her foot’s pressure points with varying intensity. Zhang Chunxue squinted her eyes, a picture of lazy enjoynt.
"Auntie, we bet a million. After taxes, we’ll have over ten million if we win. If we use that money for charity, do you think it’s better to build a school or to give scholarships in the na of helping children in impoverished mountainous areas?"
This was all part of Xu Qingfan’s showmanship plan. If there was sothing more sensational than winning ten million, it would doubtlessly be a winner imdiately treating the money like dirt by donating all ten million.
However, how to bring such plans to fruition, how to maximize the publicity of the showmanship, were not things a forr science researcher like him could figure out.
"Hmm~ Let’s establish a special fund in the na of our company, which can cover all these affairs." These issues were clearly not too difficult for Zhang Chunxue, who had spent twenty years battling in the business world.
"We can do that? That’s great! I also want to start a charity lunch initiative. Many children in the mountains are too poor to have at; they always eat potatoes and sweet potatoes." Xu Qingfan brightened at the thought, inadvertently applying more pressure with his hands.
"Ouch~ Lighter, please!"
"Oh, oh, sorry Auntie," he apologized repeatedly, and then continued, "There’s also so kids with hearing impairnts whose families can’t afford cochlear implants. I think if we could help them, Yiyi would certainly be very happy, and maybe we can even get Yiyi to..."
Zhang Chunxue opened her eyes, hoping to see the young man speaking so earnestly in front of her. It wasn’t the first ti she was moved by the boy; he had a way of touching people’s hearts subtly during their daily interactions. No wonder those girls were so clingy around him.
"Let’s just na our fund ’Drip Funding.’ It signifies not only perseverance like the water drop that wears away a stone but also that one should repay even the smallest drop of kindness with a bubbling spring. It also suggests that without accumulating small streams, there can be no seas or rivers."
Zhang Chunxue diverted her gaze from Xu Qingfan, crossed her legs to indicate another foot massage, and chuckled, "Mmm~ you could almost talk the World Cup right into a flower bloom. Just pray that Switzerland really manages that cold 1:0 win over Spain tomorrow."
Reminded by her words, Xu Qingfan snapped back to his senses; indeed, he had gotten a little ahead of himself. They hadn’t even placed their bet yet; it was as if he was looking forward to a lavish feast before the rice was even in the pot.
"Auntie, you actually don’t believe !" Feeling ridiculed by Auntie caused his face to redden slightly. As retaliation, he increased the pressure of his hands.
"Ah~ You little rascal... Ouch... softer!"
"I won’t go softer, not when Auntie is making fun of !"
"You’re asking for a spanking!"
The massage only lasted a short while, and after being sent out by Zhang Chunxue to wash his hands and coming back, the aunt was already focused on processing docunts at her work desk.
A serious man is the most handso, and a serious aunt is the most beautiful as well.
Xu Qingfan didn’t disturb her and took the seat usually reserved for the secretary, playing with his phone.
Three days had passed since he posted his second Weibo, and when Xu Qingfan opened it again, he saw that the comnts on both posts were about to break the ten-million mark, which was utterly ridiculous.
However, the number ten million was not too concerning anyway, considering certain celebrities could effortlessly garner over ten million likes and comnts on a single Weibo post within twenty-four hours on their birthdays.
Besides, he was genuinely giving away cash, and cash prize giveaways were a unique lure in the current internet landscape.
Although Xu Qingfan was prepared for the worst, he couldn’t help but be impressed by the netizens’ talent when he opened the comnt section.
[The host is an idiot, my mom said so!]
[Ten years a gambler here, follow the host and you’ll have a villa by the sea!]
[If you still have a conscience after harming like this, co to the rooftop of xxx building and bring KFC!]
[How much did KFC pay you, upstairs? McDonald’s will double it!]
[...]
Xu Qingfan couldn’t help but chuckle, disturbing Zhang Chunxue who was working. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Keep it down!"
"Ahahaha, auntie, you have to see this first, it’s going to kill with laughter," Xu Qingfan didn’t fear her at all, and eagerly handed over his phone.
A minute later, the laughter in the office had multiplied from one person to two.
Two minutes later, the laughter reverted back to just one person.
"Hahaha~ and this one too, I really want to follow the internet cable to see if the host is a person or a dog," said Zhang Chunxue as she stroked Xu Qingfan’s head, laughing unrestrainedly.
The smile doesn’t vanish; it just transfers to soone else.
"Auntie, stop reading, there’s a lot of work still undone!" Xu Qingfan said with a feigned scowl, trying to snatch back his phone.
Zhang Chunxue dodged skillfully, her fingers continued scrolling on the screen, "What’s the matter~ wasn’t it you who wanted auntie to see this? The work can wait a little longer."
The sly smile on her face was very much like Zhang Yiyi’s, obviously inherited from her.
However, in Xu Qingfan’s eyes, each had their own temperant, and he wasn’t going to get angry over such a trifle. It was just a show of faux anger to make the auntie happier.
If he wanted to enjoy the auntie’s tender care, providing such emotional value was a must.
"Okay~ auntie will stop looking. Why the long face? You’re not really angry, are you?"
"Hmph~"
"Hehehe~ copying Wanning’s pouting now, huh? Hmpf again, I’ll record it with the phone."
"Hmph~"
"Hahaha..."
