In the evening.
Shenghai is a foreign company.
Not long after getting off work, Luo Xi's cell phone rang.
At first glance, the caller is the "boss".
Su Zelin's note in the class beauty's mobile phone address book has undergone several changes.
At first, I just remembered his name, then it changed to "squad leader", then it changed to "goofy squad leader", and finally to "boss".
The changes in the notes in the address book also reflect Luo Xi's mental journey towards his impression of Su Zelin.
They were not very familiar with each other when they first entered college as freshmen, and she later felt resentful towards Su Zelin for taking her position as class monitor, so she only recorded his name in the address book.
Later, she found that Su Zelin was indeed talented and more capable than herself, so she slowly accepted the reality that she was inferior to others and finally became the class monitor.
However, she soon discovered that the monitor was too lazy and left almost all class affairs to herself, so she dissatisfiedly added the suffix "slacker" before "class monitor" in the address book notes. At the same time, she deliberately rebelled and repeatedly thought about committing crimes.
However, every time before the rebellious girl started to act up, Su Zelin would see through her and force her to stop.
After being beaten many times, the class beauty became much more obedient. She realized that there was no hope for her to turn things around during college and she became more respectful to Su Zelin. She eventually labeled him "Boss" and the title remains to this day.
"Hey, Boss, you have time to call me?"
Luo Xi quickly pressed the answer button.
"Haha, Ah Xi, long time no see, I'm here at Shenghai."
After saying goodbye to Qin Shiqing, Su Zelin did not rush back to Lin'an immediately. Instead, he visited local direct-operated stores and franchise stores until now.
"Um, you're in Shenghai?"
Luo Xi was a little surprised, but not very surprised.
New Century's business has already expanded to Shenghai and Gusu. It is normal for Su Zelin, the operations director, to come here occasionally for company affairs.
"Yeah, are you free later? I'd like to treat you to a meal?"
Su Zelin didn't waste too much time and went straight to the point.
"Have a meal?"
Luo Xi was slightly stunned.
Just the two of us
Wouldn't it be bad if Nana knew
Thinking this in her heart, the class beauty simply agreed: "Okay, how can I miss such a good opportunity to beat the local tyrants? It's just right to improve my food!"
The boss and I are friends, and having a meal together is not something shameful. We didn't do anything else, so it can't be considered as doing something unfair to my best friend.
After convincing himself in this way, Luo Xi felt at ease.
After asking for where to eat and hanging up the phone, the class beauty hailed a taxi downstairs of the company, told the driver the destination, and took out a dressing mirror to dress up.
Arriving at the hotel excitedly and pushing open the door of the reserved private room, Luo Xi was a little stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
In addition to Su Zelin, there were other people, including her two roommates, Toffee and Jelly, who were chatting excitedly with Su Zelin.
Isn't it the two of us
The class beauty misunderstood, and Su Zelin did not explain it clearly to her.
It wasn't a date between the two of them. Hunzi just called out all the interns from Shenghai and treated it as a small gathering.
The internship locations for the Finance Management Class 1 are Lin'an, Shenghai and Jinling.
Among 501, Nana and Xiaobudian were arranged to Jinling.
There were more than ten people on Shenghai's side, and Su Zelin called them all. Except for a few who were working overtime, all the others came. However, some were still on the way. Toffee and Jelly were relatively quick to arrive because their internship units were not far from the hotel.
"Axi, here!"
Naitang patted the empty seat on her left, which was the seat next to Su Zelin, and she specially reserved it for Luo Xi.
As soon as the class beauty sat down, Su Zelin's eyes fell on her.
After not seeing her for more than two months, the class beauty looks more mature and capable. It seems that her experience of internship in a foreign company alone has been of great help to her growth.
"Haha, Ah Xi, how does it feel to be interning in a foreign company?"
Although Luo Xi was a bit rebellious, Hunzi was quite fond of his first capable assistant and asked with concern as soon as they met.
The class beauty smiled and said, "It's not bad. I learned a lot. Boss, you know what, the management philosophy of foreign companies is really advanced and very efficient! But a lot of the materials are in foreign languages, which is a bit difficult to read!"
She had long planned to study in a foreign company, and had put special effort into English. Whenever she encountered something she didn't understand, she would ask Su Zelin. She even passed the Level 6 exam in her junior year, which was considered quite good, but it was still not enough to work in a foreign company.
"Boss, I wish I had your CET-8 level. But how do you usually study English? I don't think you study very hard!"
Luo Xi was envious and jealous.
Su Zelin passed the Level 4 in the first semester of his freshman year, passed the Level 6 in the second semester, and passed the Tertiary Exam 8 in his senior year. His scores were all ridiculously high. Not only was he the best in the Finance Management class, he was also an extremely impressive figure in the entire School of Finance.
People who are not majoring in English can also take the CET-8, but they must first pass the CET-6 with a score of over 600. In addition, they can only take the exam once in their senior year and once after graduation. You have two chances in your lifetime. If you fail, you are GG forever.
The hunzi thought to himself that he had scored 8.0 in IELTS in his previous life, so CET-8 was nothing.
He was about to speak when the class beauty added, "Boss, don't use your catchphrase 'If hard work is useful, why do we need geniuses' to discourage me. What I want is a specific learning method!"
"Okay, Ah Xi." Su Zelin shrugged. "Since you are so eager to learn, I will teach you a method that will produce immediate results. This is how I learned CET-8 English!"
Luo Xi perked up: "Tell me about it!"
“Watch more movies!”
Hunzi is concise and to the point.
"Watch a movie?"
The class beauty was stunned.
"That's right!" Su Zelin nodded: "If you watch more foreign language films, your English level will definitely improve quickly. It's best to watch the kind without subtitles. That's how I learned it!"
The class beauty's eyes lit up: "Boss, do you have a good website for downloading movies?"
"Yes, I'll send you a few someday!"
"Thank you, Boss!"
"Hey, who are we following?"
"… "
The others soon arrived and asked the waiter to serve the food.
Su Zelin naturally became the protagonist of the night.
Usually, Hunzi is the class monitor, and other interns in Shenghai get together occasionally, so it is a reunion with Su Zelin after a long time.
The group of people were eating, drinking, chatting and having a great time.
During the meal, Luo Xi's cell phone rang.
The caller had an English name - Peeter.
Translated it means Pete.
The class beauty's expression changed slightly, she picked up the phone and walked out of the box to answer it.
Su Zelin couldn't help but feel a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it.
After finishing the meal and saying goodbye to everyone at the entrance of the restaurant, Luo Xi suddenly caught up with Su Zelin: "Boss, I want to ask you a favor."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Su Zelin said casually.
"There's an American boss in our company who likes me very much. It's Pete who called me just now while we were having dinner!"
Luo Xi was very distressed.
"The American likes you?"
Su Zelin looked the class beauty up and down and expressed his doubt: "Are you sure?"
"Boss, what do you mean?"
Luo Xi frowned.
"I think Americans like curvy women. Look at the heroines in the movies. They all look like this."
Su Zelin laughed.
According to his knowledge and experience, there is no foreign language film with a female protagonist like Luo Xi.
It's not that the gangsters look down on the class beauty.
But compared to the type Americans like, she is indeed a bit flat.
If it were Nanazi, Su Zelin would definitely not have doubted it.
With that figure, Ding Lina must be very popular among foreigners.
"Why don't I have a curvy figure?"
Luo Xi was angry, and he straightened his body.
"Okay, I believe you!"
That foreigner is so pitiful, there must be something wrong with his eyes.
Su Zelin coughed dryly: "And then?"
"I have no interest in that American boss. He even said he has a boyfriend, but he just doesn't believe me. He keeps trying to date me. He just called me and asked me to go clubbing. I'm so annoyed. But it's not easy to offend such people in foreign companies. You should know that!"
At the beginning of the 21st century, foreigners still had some privileges in Xia Country. What's more, Luo Xi was still interning in a foreign company, and the other party happened to be his boss. He couldn't offend him too much. Even though he was harassed by that foreign boss, he couldn't break up with him. This was very depressing.
Su Zelin nodded to show his understanding.
"So, while you're at Shenghai, can you be my boyfriend tonight and talk my boss out of it?"
Luo Xi made her request somewhat awkwardly.
The gangster felt ashamed when he heard it.
Qin Shiqing asked me to play her boyfriend before, and now A Xi is here too
"Aren't there other boys in our class in Shenghai? Why didn't you ask them to help you deal with it earlier?"
"Other guys are not that good, and the American may not believe you. You are taller and more handsome, and you have a decent job, so it will be easier to persuade him to give up. And the key is that you can speak the language!"
Su Zelin thought to himself that you are really good at picking, and you really picked the right person.
"Boss, please, I beg you, that American boss is so annoying, he has been harassing me for a long time. If this problem is not solved, I can't have a good internship in the company!"
Luo Xi clasped his hands together and said almost pleadingly.
"Okay, okay, I promise you!"
The bastard finally nodded.
"Thank you, Boss!"
Luo Xi was happy: "You helped me a lot. You can ask me to do anything next time. I will call Pete right now and let you two meet tonight!"
Su Zelin was both amused and confused.
Why the hell do I feel like I've become a professional boyfriend actor
Last time I played Qin Shiqing's boyfriend, and I ended up acting like a **.
But playing the role of Ah Xi’s boyfriend is okay, it doesn’t become real.
Ten o'clock in the evening, in a bar on the Bund.
"Pete, this is my boyfriend Sue, he's also my college classmate!"
Luo Xi briefly introduced Su Zelin's identity in English.
The person in front of them was a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner. He was very happy to have a date with the girl he liked for the first time, but he didn't expect an uninvited guest to show up.
He looked at the boy in surprise and suspicion.
With his handsome appearance, he is also a handsome guy in the eyes of Europeans and Americans. He is over 1.8 meters tall, which is not inferior to others. A mid-length wool coat makes him look particularly charismatic and a real handsome man.
"Hello, I'm Su. Thank you for taking care of my girlfriend while she's working in your company!"
The foreigners were even more surprised by Su Zelin's authentic spoken English.
This pronunciation even sounds more foreign than many foreigners.
"Su, did you grow up in Europe or America?"
Pete couldn't help but ask.
Luo Xi was so envious.
Being mistaken by a foreigner as someone who grew up in Europe or America is probably the greatest affirmation of my ability to speak a foreign language.
Watching foreign language films is really useful. I will download more from the website given by the boss when I get back.
"No, but I love watching foreign language films!"
Su Zelin smiled slightly.
"Where do you work, Sue?"
The foreign pervert still refused to give up.
Europe and the United States are very open, and poaching is common.
If he knows that you are not capable enough, he will ignore your existence and continue to pursue the woman he likes.
"New Century Digital, have you heard of it? Our company's headquarters is in Lin'an, but we also have businesses and many stores in Shenghai. I am the operations director of this company, and I came here from Lin'an this time for something!"
"Operations Director?"
Pete was stunned.
This position is close to the top of the pyramid in the enterprise.
He had also heard of New Century Digital, a company that had hundreds of chain stores and was not some small, fake company.
He was a little bit unconvinced.
How could a young boy like him become the operations director of a large company
Su Zelin took out a business card and handed it over.
"This is my business card. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate with your company in the future!"
Pete took the business card with a strange look on his face.
It is childish to pretend to be a company executive, and you can tell by just asking around that it is probably not a fake.
Moreover, although this young man is only in his early twenties, he does have a strong aura.
Su Zelin took the initiative to treat the foreigner to a drink on the grounds that his girlfriend was usually taken care of, and served a bottle of foreign wine worth several thousand yuan. This made Pete even more convinced.
In this day and age, not everyone can afford to drink foreign liquor that costs thousands of dollars.
It seems that Luo’s boyfriend is probably a corporate executive, that’s why he is so rich!
The three of them were drinking and chatting in the bar, and Pete intentionally or unintentionally talked to Su Zelin about some topics about business and company management.
If it is a counterfeit, its true colors will be exposed immediately.
However, Su Zelin remained calm and answered fluently.
Pete believed it completely.
After finishing a bottle of foreign liquor, the time was almost up.
Before leaving the bar, Pete said, "Su, you are a very good man, but I doubt one thing!"
"What's up?"
"You're not Luo's boyfriend!"
"Why do you say that?"
Su Zelin couldn't help but be stunned.
"Because there is no intimacy between you two as boyfriend and girlfriend."
Pete's eyes were sharp.
Even though the two of them had made a lot of preparations for this scene, Luo Xi still sat next to Hunzi tonight, holding his arm.
However, this meticulous foreigner actually saw through some clues.
"Your physical contact is very awkward and not natural at all."
Hunzi: “…”
I was careless. This guy has such a sharp eye.
"That's because we Xia people have more traditional ideas, and there are other people present, so we can't let go."
Su Zelin could only give a reluctant explanation.
What else did Pete have to say
Luo Xi suddenly held Su Zelin's face and kissed him on the mouth, not letting go until a few seconds later.
"Peter, do you believe this?"
The class beauty blushed.
The foreigner was stunned.
Su Zelin was also shocked.
"All right!"
Peter said dejectedly: "I believe it."
Given the conservative nature of Xia country girls, they would never do this if it wasn't their boyfriend.
"I have to admit that you two are a perfect match, Luo. I wish you happiness. Goodbye!"
Although this foreigner has some perverted attributes, he is still a gentleman.
As soon as he left, Su Zelin cast a puzzled look at Luo Xi.
Ah Xi, what are you doing
"I'm sorry, monitor. I was in a desperate situation and resorted to this stupid trick. If Peter knew that I deceived him, he would be very angry and would make things difficult for me at work in the future!"
The class beauty apologized repeatedly.
She had drunk a few too many glasses of foreign liquor, and her mind was hot, so she kissed him for some unknown reason, and she found it unbelievable afterwards.
This is my first kiss.
But if that person is the boss, it doesn't seem like he's at a disadvantage.
"All right."
Since they kissed each other, the gangsters can't do anything to her.
It was already late, so he took a taxi to send Luo Xi back to the dormitory.
The atmosphere in the car was still a little awkward.
The class beauty was playing with the corner of her clothes a little shyly, and neither of them spoke.
This continued until we arrived at the gate of the dormitory complex.
Before getting off the car, Luo Xi spoke again: "Boss, please don't tell Nana about what happened tonight!"
Although it was just a small kiss, it didn't last more than five seconds.
But I always feel like I've cheated on my best friend.
"Hey, you know about me and Nanako?"
Su Zelin was slightly surprised.
"I know!" Luo Xi nodded and said, "Nana told me before, but I'm the only one in our dormitory who knows about it, and I haven't told anyone else!"
"oh!"
Su Zelin thought it was okay.
Ah Xi has a good mouth.
Things that should be swallowed will not be vomited out.
"I won't tell you, don't worry!"
The gangsters are not stupid.
Who would say such things when they have nothing better to do
"Thank you!"
The class beauty breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then I'm leaving, boss, good night!"
"Good night!"
Luo Xi got out of the car.
The taxi driver in front kept shaking his head.
He heard a wealth of information from the brief conversation between the two just now.
Your circle is so chaotic!
He took one more look at Su Zelin through the rearview mirror.
Young man, although you are very handsome.
But if you do this too much, be careful not to get into trouble!
I returned to the dormitory and lay down in bed with my clothes on.
Thinking of his bold behavior in the bar, Luo Xi's face turned hot again.
Ah Xi, are you crazy
Although I explained to Su Zelin that I was worried that Pete would be angry if he knew he was deceived, and would make things difficult for me at work in the future!
However, the class beauty felt that if the person tonight was not the bad class monitor, but any other boy, she would never be able to do this.
The alcohol made my head a little dizzy and swollen, but I couldn't fall asleep and tossed and turned. I could still remember the details of what happened clearly.
The touch of those lips and the masculinity of the squad leader.
The worst thing is that I seemed to have put my tongue in there at that time.
Recalling this, Luo Xi found that he seemed to have taken advantage of Su Zelin deliberately by drinking.
Oh, I’m going to die!
What am I doing!
The class monitor is Nanako's boyfriend.
I won’t be able to face my best sisters anymore, 55555…
The class beauty covered her face with her hands and buried her entire head in the quilt.
…
