Chapter 2095: Single Dog

Gossip is human nature.

It has nothing to do with friendship; it's pure curiosity.

For instance, Zheng Yao and Dong Guoxiang weren't really that concerned about Dong Chenxi's 'boyfriend'—after all, it was her private matter.

But since everyone knew about it,

gossiping about it for entertainment was fun.

So when Zhao Fusheng brought it up, they decisively followed along.

As for Dong Chenxi's opinion, sorry, they just ignored it.

Looking at these guys, Dong Chenxi said helplessly, 'Come on, are you all that curious?'

'Of course.'

Zhao Fusheng answered for them: 'Trust me, if Fan Baobao weren't in Asia, she'd fly over to join the fun.'

Dong Chenxi thought about it helplessly; knowing Fan Baobao, she might actually do that.

That woman was capable of it.

But!

She shot Zhao Fusheng a glare, feeling that he knew something and was deliberately messing with her.

After all, at the last gathering at his place, he seemed to have noticed something but never said a word.

Now he was bringing it up, clearly trying to cause trouble.

Meeting Dong Chenxi's gaze, Zhao Fusheng looked innocent.

As a good person, he felt he was helping Dong Chenxi.

Yes, that was it.

He wouldn't admit he was deliberately pranking her.

That was something a heartless boss would do, and Zhao Fusheng considered himself a principled and ethical good person.

This was certified by everyone.

Disagree?

Those who disagree get no year-end bonus!

...

...

'Just say it already.'

Zheng Yao glared at Dong Chenxi: 'Spit it out, who did you come with?'

She wasn't stupid; seeing Dong Chenxi like this, it was clear that man had a close relationship with her.

Maybe he was her rumored boyfriend.

As it turned out, women's intuition was spot on.

Dong Chenxi hesitated, then said, 'I came with Wu Sijie.'

'Who?'

'Huh?'

Zheng Yao and Dong Guoxiang were stunned, staring at Dong Chenxi with wide eyes.

'Who did you say? Wu Sijie? The one in Korea?' Zheng Yao fired off questions like a machine gun.

If Dong Chenxi had named someone they didn't know, it would be one thing, but Wu Sijie—that piqued their curiosity.

But on second thought, it actually made sense. The two of them could be a thing.

They worked together often and were both trusted by Zhao Fusheng, so they had common ground.

Sometimes when Zhao Fusheng sent Wu Sijie to Future Investment on errands, it was like a date for them.

This, this was perfect!

'Tsk tsk! Office romance!'

Zheng Yao teased; she didn't mind, just found it amusing to rib Dong Chenxi.

Dong Chenxi looked at her helplessly, then pointed at Zhao Fusheng: 'This guy probably knew all along.'

'Really?'

This time Zheng Yao was genuinely surprised, looking at Zhao Fusheng: 'You knew?'

'Not really.'

Zhao Fusheng shrugged: 'Just a feeling. Every time that kid Wu Sijie mentioned her, he'd beam with joy. What's the word for it? Goddess of his dreams, yeah, that's it!'

Everyone laughed, and even Dong Chenxi couldn't help shaking her head with a wry smile, pointing at Zhao Fusheng: 'Can't you act like a boss?'

Hearing that, Zhao Fusheng snorted: 'Since you say that, how about you give the boss a foot massage?'

'Get lost!'

Her response was a blunt word.

Zhao Fusheng wasn't offended; he smiled and said, 'It's fine. Wu Sijie is smart; he knows what to do and what not to do. At least you don't have to worry about that.'

Then he shrugged: 'Besides, if he dares to wrong you, I'll teach him a lesson in no time.'

That was true. Given Zhao Fusheng's status and his relationship with Dong Chenxi, if Wu Sijie, a self-made man, tried any tricks, Zhao Fusheng could easily put him in his place.

'It's okay, he treats me well.'

Dong Chenxi shook her head and said to Zhao Fusheng: 'You think I haven't thought about it?'

'As long as you know what you're doing.'

Zhao Fusheng nodded and said no more.

While they were talking, Dong Guoxiang and Zheng Yao were dumbfounded.

What was going on?

After a long pause, Zheng Yao sighed helplessly: 'I think each of you owes me a big meal.'

'Why?'

They looked at each other, puzzled. Why should they treat her to a big meal?

Zheng Yao smirked coldly, her gaze sweeping over Dong Guoxiang, Zhao Fusheng, and Dong Chenxi: 'Look at you all—married with kids, finding girlfriends, now office romances. Can you bear to see me single?'

'Huh?'

They were taken aback, then burst out laughing.

Come to think of it, by that logic, she was indeed pitiful.

'Don't say that. Look at Bai Jie...' Dong Chenxi blinked, trying to comfort Zheng Yao.

'Cut it out!'

Zheng Yao glared at her: 'Bai Jie's nightlife is way more exciting than mine. I'm busy with work all day and have to watch you guys flaunt your love. So, how are you going to compensate me?'

Then she turned to Zhao Fusheng: 'Boss, I'm requesting single employee benefits now, or I'll go on strike tomorrow!'

'Hahaha.'

Zhao Fusheng was laughing so hard his stomach hurt. Looking at Zheng Yao's serious face, he thought for a moment: 'How about this? When my private plane arrives, you get the maiden voyage. What do you think?'

'Really?'

Zheng Yao was taken aback, looking at him suspiciously.

She knew about Zhao Fusheng buying a plane, but would he really let her have the maiden voyage?

Zhao Fusheng quickly nodded: 'Of course, I swear.'

He raised his right hand, holding up four fingers.

Zheng Yao sneered and tilted her chin; Zhao Fusheng promptly raised the fifth finger.

'Fine, I'll believe you for now.'

Zheng Yao glanced at him, finally nodded, and sat there sulkily, starting to eat. In her words, she was turning sorrow into appetite.

After all, being single, she didn't have to worry about her figure.

It was truly a sad story.

Watching Zheng Yao eat with gusto, Zhao Fusheng and the others exchanged glances and smiled sympathetically.

Single women, so pitiful!
