"CEO, now that our relationship has advanced to a new level, can't you give a break?" Lin Hai protested dissatisfactorily.
Ouyang Xiaoya was so angry that her teeth itched. This bastard, how could there be such a detestable man in the world.
He even caused to tear my cherished gloves.
And it seed like the lady cleaning the windows outside misunderstood .
Such a hateful guy, I really wish I could kick him down from the eighteenth floor right now.
"Lin Hai, if you dare to spread rumors about this, I assure you that you'll pay the heaviest price!" Ouyang Xiaoya said, fury fogging her beautiful eyes, shaking like a wilting flower branch.
Lin Hai gave an embarrassed smile: "It was an accident, purely an accident. I won't blabber about it since I'm so 'thin-skinned'."
"You, get out of here now! I don't want to see you again today," Ouyang Xiaoya erupted.
Lin Hai shrank his neck, putting on a smile: "CEO, I ca to you for a favor."
"Speak, let hear the nonsense you can't spit out. I'll have soone beat you up so bad, you'll be looking for your teeth all over the ground!" President Ouyang's face was absolutely brilliant.
"I would like to borrow your Maybach, and also..." Before Lin Hai could finish, Ouyang Xiaoya stood up abruptly.
Her slender jade finger angrily pointed at Lin Hai.
"You've embarrassed in broad daylight, and now you want to borrow my beloved car?"
I've seen thick-skinned people, but never soone as shaless as you.
"Cough cough, honey, you can't say that. We're husband and wife, how can that be shaful?"
"Besides, you're such a good person, you even helped heal just now. Such a noble character, tsk tsk," Lin Hai argued cunningly.
"Hmph, save the flattery, I don't buy any of your ghost stories."
"Alright, honey, I was wrong. I really need to borrow your car for sothing important, just for one day."
Lin Hai thought, since he needed sothing from CEO wife, there was no need to make her angry again.
Hearing Lin Hai admit his mistake, although his attitude wasn't very sincere and mostly superficial, Ouyang Xiaoya's anger subsided a little.
"So what do you need the car for?" President Ouyang was not the kind of person who could not discern right from wrong or be unreasonable.
Today's incident was indeed too coincidental to truly bla Lin Hai.
So she indifferently asked, also not wanting to dwell on such a murky subject.
Besides, she was curious. Beast Lin, who normally looks so sloppy, seed to have shaved his beard and was a bit more spruced up than usual, and even made the effort to co to her for the car—what on earth was he planning to do?
"It's like this..."
"CEO, you rember Fan Jian, right?" Lin Hai asked.
Ouyang Xiaoya imdiately thought of the security guard from the security departnt who had been with the company for many years, and she nodded slightly: "What about Fan Jian?"
"It's like this, I found out this morning that Fan Jian has always been single, and fortunately, he found a girlfriend last week. But his girlfriend dumped him because she thought he was too poor, determined to break up. I guess Fan Jian is on his way to the breakup site right now."
"Moreover, I seem to have overheard that the woman likes to chase after fresh experiences, and she dumped Fan Jian because she took up with so rich old man."
Lin Hai finished explaining, looking at Ouyang Xiaoya.
"What does this have to do with you borrowing my car?" Ouyang Xiaoya was puzzled.
Lin Hai, sensing an opportunity, hurriedly explained his idea.
"Of course, there's a connection. Why was Fan Jian dumped? Just because his girlfriend thinks he's poor, she looks down on him, and is even willing to be soone else's mistress."
"If I pick up Fan Jian in your Maybach, wouldn't it bring so comfort to him?"
"Besides, a man's biggest fear is being resented by a woman for being incompetent. If I borrow your Maybach, it's to bolster his pride."
"When the ti cos, Fan Jian will surely cry tears of gratitude upon seeing your car arrive, committing himself to give 120% for the company. Not only will you win over the hearts and minds of the people, but also enhance the core cohesion of our security departnt. Isn't this a case of killing two birds with one stone?"
After finishing, Lin Hai closed his mouth and quietly awaited the lady boss's response.
When Ouyang Xiaoya heard this, she was so surprised that her mouth stayed agape, looking at Lin Hai as if he were a stranger.
"CEO, you've got quite a unique look in your eyes," Lin Hai blinked.
"Did you co up with all this?"
Ouyang Xiaoya asked in astonishnt.
Lin Hai modestly nodded with a slight bow: "I'm just concerned for everyone's well-being. CEO, I think this approach is better for managing the company."
Ouyang Xiaoya was caught off guard; Lin Hai actually knew so managent tactics. She had never noticed, given how sloppy and lazy he usually appeared, that he could demonstrate such delicate considerations at tis like this.
If indeed things played out as Lin Hai suggested, then Lin Hai's borrowing of her car would leave Fan Jian deeply grateful, and it might even breathe new life and vigor into the entire lackluster security departnt.
Such a small act could improve the cohesion of an entire company departnt.
Ouyang Xiaoya herself hadn't co up with such an idea in her routine days; it was beyond her why this despicable guy she almost gnashed her teeth at had thought it up, which left her staggering with surprise and shock.
Lin Hai, still neither servile nor overbearing, and with the composure of a seasoned pet, would, to those who didn't know him, appear to be a sage of wise and extraordinary intellect.
Watching Lin Hai display such qualities, a flicker of admiration crossed Ouyang Xiaoya's beautiful eyes; she had to admit she might have slightly misjudged Lin Hai. But just slightly, of course. She couldn't believe this guy, with his many bad habits, would be capable of anything genuinely astonishing.
With a slightly furrowed brow, Ouyang Xiaoya clearly was calmly thinking it over.
Lin Hai didn't disturb her, standing quietly there. He even resisted his urge to smoke, not wanting to disturb the peace.
After a while, Ouyang Xiaoya gave Lin Hai a aningful glance and said lightly, "The car keys are in the coat pocket on the coat rack. You can take them yourself."
"Thank you, CEO. You are wise!" Lin Hai seized the mont to flatter.
Beautiful miss Ouyang rolled her eyes and humphed: "Cut the flattery. Rember, don't use my car to pick up girls, or I swear I'll castrate you myself."
Lin Hai clutched at his pants cooperatively, smiling: "Heh, CEO, rest assured. I wouldn't dare think about other won when I have soone as beautiful as a flower at ho. It's a blessing I've accumulated over lifetis; how could I fantasize otherwise?"
Seeing Ouyang Xiaoya's signs of rage again, Lin Hai quickly shut up.
"Sigh, CEO, how about we go shopping together today?" Lin Hai suddenly suggested.
Ouyang Xiaoya snorted coldly: "What sneaky ideas are you cooking up now?"
"It's not that. Today is Singles' Day, known as Bachelors' Day. I was just thinking, shouldn't we…?"
"Keep dreaming."
"Eh…"
Lin Hai tactfully closed his mouth.
Taking the Maybach keys, Lin Hai left the office. He saw Murong Xue with a red face, looking down as if she hadn't noticed him coming out.
Not wanting things to be too awkward, Lin Hai pretended to get ready to go downstairs. But then he saw several young couples in the office, intimate and arm in arm, chatting and joking, occasionally taking selfies together to show off their love in WeChat monts.
"Ah, showing off is the fast track to doom," Lin Hai smacked his lips, murmuring to himself while stroking his chin.
Murong Xue, hearing this, almost burst into laughter.
Lin Hai then looked at himself, his eyes showing a tinge of "woeful" emotion, as he walked murmuring: "Even single dogs are dogs. Flaunting love is like tornting us; one can choose not to love, but please do no harm. Without showing off, there's no hurt, ah."
"Pfft," Murong Xue couldn't hold back any longer and let out enchanting laughter.
Lin Hai's eyes brightened: Sh*t, Murong's smile is so captivating. Watching her laugh truly feels like one of life's finest pleasures.
...
Elsewhere, Fan Jian stepped off the bus with a dejected look on his face, standing at the intersection of Taishui Road in the center of the road. As a breeze blew past, couples brushed by him, bringing a sense of desolate autumn to his heart.
"Fan, hang in there, I'm coming." Lin Hai quickly drove off.
