Almost everyone had the sa thought and gathered around Chu Ge.
"Chu Ge, we really owe it to you today. I can hardly wait to see the expressions on the faces of people from other departnts when they find out we've beaten the Marketing Departnt."
Ji Songtao said sincerely while wiping the sweat that hadn't quite dried yet.
"Dude, your assists just now were so amazing, practically miraculous!" Lu Gang gave a thumbs up.
"Vice Minister Chu, is your body okay?" Mo Xiaoran asked with a concerned look.
"Young Master Chu, let give you a shoulder massage." Feifei giggled as she walked behind Chu Ge and began to knead his shoulders with her small hands.
Although he was once again addressed as "Young Master Chu," seeing as there were no outsiders in the room, Chu Ge allowed Feifei to call him that but declined her offer to massage his shoulders.
"Everyone worked really hard. I think you don't need to do that. You've also worked hard, so go back and have a good rest."
"I'm not tired. It would be an honor to give our Young Master Chu a shoulder massage. Don't refuse, it's such a good opportunity to suck up, how could I bear to miss it?"
"Hahaha..." As soon as Feifei said this, the office erupted in laughter. She's always had this straightforward personality. If soone else said such things, it might be concerning, but since it was Feifei, everyone knew it was a joke.
If you're going to suck up, do it openly—that's Feifei.
Besides, the fact that their Operation Managent Departnt won this ga was largely due to Chu Ge, if not entirely. Not to ntion Feifei giving Chu Ge a shoulder massage, even if everyone took turns, it would be deserved.
Hearing everyone's laughter, Chu Ge looked at Feifei with amusent, "Sucking up? Co on, I'm not a horse. Besides, this is my shoulder, not my butt."
"Hahaha..." The office burst into even louder laughter.
"Alright, sit down. I even specifically learned so massage techniques, let try them on you."
"Yeah, Young Master Chu, don't be so polite. Let Feifei give your shoulders a rub. You've contributed imnsely, and it's totally warranted. Being so formal makes everything awkward."
Feifei quickly added, "Look, everyone says so. Why are you still refusing? Are you not considering us as your own people? That's not like you."
Finally, after everyone voiced their piece, Chu Ge let Feifei massage his shoulders and continued to chat happily with everyone.
Truth be told, Feifei's technique was indeed impressive—the way her small hands kneaded his shoulders was quite relieving.
Since it was work hours and everyone was pretty tired, after chatting with Chu Ge about the ga for a while, they all returned to their seats to rest.
Only Feifei remained, still standing behind Chu Ge, diligently massaging the hero of the basketball ga.
Her technique was genuinely good and quite relieving, but since everyone was part of the basketball ga, Chu Ge felt awkward having Feifei massage him.
After just a minute or two, Chu Ge felt he should remind Feifei, although others might not think much of it, he felt it wasn't quite right.
"Feifei, you also played basketball for quite a while, take a rest."
Picking up the water cup, Chu Ge downed the water that Mo Xiaoran had poured for him, turning back to smile with a heart full of mixed feelings.
"It's okay, I'm not tired at all. Is my technique not good?" Feifei asked with a giggle.
"Of course not, I'm just worried you'll get tired."
"Young Master Chu, without you, how could our Operation Managent Departnt beco such a dark horse today, toppling the favored Market Departnt? Even if I'm tired, I'm happy to do sothing for you."
Chu Ge felt speechless, thinking inwardly, 'You're not tired, but I'm worried sick. Isn't it enough already?'
Thinking this, Chu Ge laughed out loud, "You make it sound like it's all my doing. Lu Gang scored way more than I did, go give our scoring king a massage too?"
Hearing this, Lu Gang was startled. Even though he was exhausted, seeing Feifei actually looking his way, he seed to have springs in his feet and jumped up from his chair.
"I scored because your assists were so good. Without those miraculous assists, I would've been lucky to make two or three shots. Saying that undermines ."
Chu Ge shook his head, "A score's a score, no need to be so humble, right?"
"Oh, why does my stomach hurt all of a sudden? Ouch, it hurts..."
"Hurt? What hurt? A second ago, you were just fine. No need for such over-the-top acting, eh?"
While pretending as if it were real and clutching his stomach, Lu Gang picked up so tissues from the table, as if he hadn't heard Chu Ge say anything, and darted out of the office like he was fleeing in defeat.
Getting Feifei to massage his shoulders instead of Chu Ge's? He wasn't blessed enough to enjoy that!
Even if Lu Gang truly had a sore waist and legs and really wanted soone to massage his shoulders and legs, he knew that even if Feifei did co over to give him a massage, with Chu Ge's character, Chu Ge wouldn't mind. Still, he had that bit of self-awareness.
Ever since he truly admired Chu Ge, he always saw himself as Chu Ge's sidekick. If the sidekick were to receive the sa treatnt as the leader, what would that be? A joke?
Feifei chuckled lightly with her hand covering her mouth, then turned to et Chu Ge's helpless yet amused eyes.
"Young Master Chu, you see, it's not that I don't want to reward our star player, but with soone having a stomachache, I can't exactly chase them into the bathroom to give them a massage, can I?"
Chu Ge touched his nose, smiling wryly, and said, "Feifei, you've made my shoulders feel so good, other places are bound to feel uncomfortable now."
Upon hearing this, Feifei laughed and said, "Young Master Chu, where else are you uncomfortable? I'll give you a few more squeezes?"
Faced with Feifei's relentless teasing, Chu Ge was really quite troubled. This Feifei... no matter how well-intentioned, isn't she overdoing it a bit?
Finally, only when his colleagues' attention wasn't on him, Chu Ge managed to escape the office by pretending to need the restroom, thus resolving this little dilemma.
As Chu Ge got up, Feifei's face was still brimming with a smile. Yet when Chu Ge brushed past her, a hint of loneliness flashed in her eyes.
"Will Chu Ge think I'm a frivolous woman? Just broke up with my boyfriend and here I am joking around with him?"
Sighing wearily in her heart, Feifei returned to her desk, feeling torn and lost.
Actually, she had wanted to break up with Yu Zekai long before yesterday, and had fallen for Chu Ge before today.
A long ti ago, she was deeply disappointed in Yu Zekai, but rembering their past, she always tolerated him, encouraged him, hoping he would one day co to his senses and stop being so depressed.
But in reality, Yu Zekai beca more and more depressed, increasingly excessive, and even began showing so signs of a psychological aberration.
When she was in discomfort during her period, Yu Zekai would just sit at his computer, not even turning his head, and say, "Drink so hot water," and then shout a bunch of gaming terms she couldn't quite understand, typing furiously on the keyboard.
She once tried to learn the ga Yu Zekai played, but unfortunately, Yu Zekai had only taught her for half an hour before giving up, calling her stupid.
She left Yu Zekai not because he was poor, but because he was too lazy to even look for a job, too lazy to even send out a resu. Every day he either gad and slept at ho or went out to mingle with unambitious people.
Even with plenty of ti, Yu Zekai never took her out hiking or walking, never accompanied her to watch TV quietly, never did housework, even though these things had nothing to do with money.
In fact, Feifei was always a very understanding woman. To her, there was nothing wrong with playing gas. After all, gas were created to relax and entertain. Compared to spending money on worse things, spending on gas was not a big deal.
But Yu Zekai shouldn't have made gas his whole life, neglecting everything else. After all, he wasn't so second-generation heir who could rely on wealthy parents, not to ntion that so second-gen heirs work really hard, so what right did he have to be so unambitious?
This kind of relationship left Feifei exhausted and disappointed.
Initially, she forced a smile every day, appearing cheerful and optimistic in front of her colleagues to hide her inner sadness and fatigue.
Until Chu Ge joined the Operation Managent Departnt, her smile gradually beca genuine, more radiant, truly from the heart.
Although she hadn't known Chu Ge for long, gradually over ti, she realized that her happiest monts were while working in the office.
Not because of the work, but because of Chu Ge.
She liked Chu Ge's laid-back nature, Chu Ge's modesty, Chu Ge's confidence, Chu Ge's thoughtfulness, Chu Ge's humor, Chu Ge's voice, Chu Ge's...
In short, she already felt that she liked everything about Chu Ge. Just seeing Chu Ge's trademark smile would fill her heart with warmth and joy.
Such a man was rare indeed, and she sincerely wanted to do sothing for Chu Ge; how could she bear to miss such a good man?
But Mo Xiaoran also...
With a silent sigh, Feifei felt truly conflicted.
