Chapter 866: Chapter 554: Hu Yan’s Ramblings Again
“Not all phone calls are as entertaining as Yiyi’s.” —Cheng Zhu.
…
At this mont, Cheng Zhu was annoyed by Bao Fan.
He didn’t have the sa patience as before and was a bit anxious.
Of course, this might also be because he drank too much today.
“Put on your glasses,” the illustrator instructed.
Upon hearing this, the female artist imdiately put on the glasses she had placed nearby, almost putting them on crooked, and had a few strands of hair caught in the fra, which she had to brush out with her hand.
For soone with nearsightedness, being without glasses feels very insecure.
Lying down might be fine, but standing up always feels off, especially when your legs feel weak.
So, she actually wanted to put on her black-frad glasses long ago.
“Phew, I feel not so uncomfortable now,” thought the recluse female artist as her vision returned.
—Security restored!
Cheng Zhu looked at the “Persistent Visit” star artist being constantly tornted by him.
For him, Hu Yan is an invaluable talent.
The “Persistent Visit” store’s seller show quickly stood out and even sparked a trend in the well-known forum “No Lust,” becoming one of the top ten forbidden zones there, thanks to the efforts of the recluse female artist.
As everyone knows, many artists these days share a common trait—poverty.
Hu Yan used to be the sa, dirt poor, barely making any money.
To keep such talent nearby, how could Cheng Zhu be stingy with providing her a generous… writing fee?
…
…
“Drinking makes you slow, huh,” Cheng Zhu remarked while taking a shower.
The slightly chubby, lazy fox holding the showerhead weakly applied shower gel foam on Cheng Zhu with one hand, feeling a little resentful at his words.
“Indeed, slow…” she thought to herself.
In those last few minutes, she felt like she was falling apart.
The padding of her chunky feet started to feel a bit wobbly, and after shifting positions several tis, she felt she couldn’t stand firm.
She even wanted to lie down on the bathroom countertop for a bit, to rest.
But the shower was facing the mirror directly, and if the boss looked from that angle, all he’d see would be her big plump butt sticking out.
The reason things developed this way was that this recluse female artist was recently working on improving her health.
She had always had irregular periods.
After seeing a doctor, she was prescribed birth control pills to regulate her nstrual cycle.
She took them every day, and they worked quite well.
This stuff even benefits a woman’s skin condition.
But so people, if they take it long-term, might gain weight…
Hu Yan already had a voluptuous, fleshy figure, and to prevent gaining weight from the pills, she had been actively exercising at ho recently.
Now that she had money, she even purchased so fitness equipnt.
Of course, this was also because her sugar daddy rented a spacious high-end apartnt for her.
If it were her old tiny place, there wouldn’t even be space for a pile of comic books, let alone fitness equipnt.
As for improving her health, she ntioned it in her chats with Cheng Zhu during casual conversation.
Since she’s a completely different person online, you can imagine what things she would say to Cheng Zhu when she brought it up.
Four words at a ti, each set of four words classic.
Today, Cheng Zhu was simply going along with it.
After she washed Cheng Zhu clean, she began to urge him to go rest.
“Boss, why don’t you go outside and rest for a bit?”
“I’ll wait for you,” Cheng Zhu replied with a smile.
“Oh no! No… no need!” Hu Yan exclaid, waving repeatedly.
Because she felt like she needed to squat with her legs apart for a while, in that position… to expel sothing.
The man laughingly gave her butt a firm squeeze, then with a sudden pull, smacked it and walked out.
He put on his bathrobe and lay down on the hotel’s two-ter-wide bed, only then checking his phone.
Bao Fan only made two calls, and after Cheng Zhu impatiently hung up on the second one, he didn’t call again.
“Not answering unfamiliar calls is actually pretty normal,” Cheng Zhu thought.
He didn’t find anything wrong with it.
Moreover, people like them, big shots, are usually quite “self-important.” After getting a cold shoulder, they’d co up with a reasonable excuse for themselves.
Because the other party wouldn’t think soone of Cheng Zhu’s stature would dare, knowing it was their call, to decline it!
Little did they know, he… dared plenty!
As a result, Cheng Zhu also received a ssage from Wang Xin on WeChat.
He specifically inford him that the call just now was from Boss Bao.
“Bao Fan just asked for your phone number, so I’m letting you know,” Wang Xin said.
Cheng Zhu started typing: “I was a bit busy just now and missed a call from an unknown number; could it have been his?”
“Send the number, let see,” Wang Xin continued playing along.
Cheng Zhu sent over the last few digits and joined in the act.
“Yeah, it’s him.”
“Alright, got it.” Cheng Zhu typed and asked, “Mr. Wang, did he ntion why he wanted to reach ?”
“Probably just to get acquainted. After all, you’re quite famous in the finance circle now! Hahaha!” Wang Xin replied.
After sending this ssage, he even added, “Have you heard this saying: If you haven’t t Bao Fan yet, it ans your business isn’t big enough.”
Normally, this sounded like it was highlighting Boss Bao’s prestige.
But now that he proactively reached out to Cheng Zhu, it seed inexplicably like a form of recognition.
—Young man, not bad at all, your business is doing alright, let’s get to know each other a bit!
Of course, Cheng Zhu didn’t care.
After exchanging so polite words with Wang Xin, their WeChat conversation ended.
He certainly couldn’t just imdiately call back upon knowing it was Bao Fan’s number and then apologize.
“Oh dear, I’m so young!”
“I don’t know how to handle this!”
“Encountering such a big shot, I get nervous!”
“Lalalala!”
This world is filled with young people who don’t know how to socialize, especially with upward social interactions!
Interacting upwards can make people timid, unsure of what to say, and worried about making mistakes.
Many young people can’t even take the first step.
But Cheng Zhu was definitely not one of them.
Another two minutes later, Hu Yan ca out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, looking down and a bit hesitant, then lay down beside her boss, remaining silent.
Even though they knew each other’s XP quite well from chatting online, the slightly chubby fox couldn’t fully relax after eting in person.
Seeing this, Cheng Zhu laughed and said, “Why don’t you lie on the sofa and close the door, and we can chat on our phones? Would you say more that way?”
“Huh?” Hu Yan took a mont to realize he was teasing and softly replied, “Boss, uh… I don’t do offline socializing much.”
The dog man was a bit speechless, as they already had such a deep social relationship, yet she was still so bad at expressing herself?
“Oh right, wait a minute, I brought you a gift.” He suddenly rembered he had brought sothing.
He got up, opened his suitcase, and took out a brand new tablet.
“Here, it’s for you.” Cheng Zhu handed it over, adding, “It’s the one with the biggest mory.”
He knew very well that Hu Yan had a large demand for storage space.
Her tablet and desktop probably stored more resources than many n, though he wasn’t sure where she got them all.
“Thank you, boss.” The hobody illustrator was a bit pleasantly surprised.
For Cheng Zhu, a tablet was just a small gift, not much money at all.
But as for a girl, receiving a gift is always nice, and it could also be useful for her art.
After giving the gift, he remarked, “By the way, there’s sothing I have to criticize you for.”
“Hmm?” Hu Yan imdiately paid attention, feeling a bit nervous.
“You haven’t been posting self-portraits as often as before, and they don’t seem as creative or original. What’s up with you, regressing?” Cheng Zhu scolded.
“Lately… I have been a bit out of inspiration,” the hobody illustrator admitted without quibbling.
“Weren’t you just saying before that you were overflowing with inspiration?” Cheng Zhu asked knowingly.
The slightly chubby illustrator’s voice was barely a whisper as she timidly explained, “That was because you were in Shanghai, right after you left…”
“What?” He really didn’t hear her clearly.
“Nothing, really.” Hu Yan just added, “You were the one who showed how to draw during that ti.”
“Which way did I show you?” Cheng Zhu turned to look at her, smiling.
Hu Yan stayed silent.
Cheng Zhu pressed, “Hmm?”
Hu Yan still said nothing.
At tis like this, silence was the answer.
Of course, if this were online chatting, this female illustrator would definitely co up with a barrage of bold words.
“You’re only this bold online,” Cheng Zhu scoffed.
Hu Yan countered in her heart, “Nonsense, I was clearly just in the bathroom…”
At this mont, the slightly chubby fox suddenly got up, reached down, sat upright quickly, and prepared to get out of bed.
“What’s up, why so frantic?” Cheng Zhu was puzzled.
Even he couldn’t quite figure out what she was up to.
She seed rather urgent.
“Boss, I need to run to the bathroom… I feel like it’s not clean.” Hu Yan replied, utterly astonished inside.
So much? I’ve been crouching for ages… even flushed it half the day…
Cheng Zhu glanced at her, aware that a big butt locks in well, yet he actually said:
“Really? Let check.”
