Chapter 1138: Chapter 1143 Goodwill

When Yang Yi dresses up in a suit and looks exceptionally elite, he receives admiration from women, along with many longing looks tinged with self-deprecation.

This feeling is hard to describe, but it is very similar to seeing a celebrity who doesn’t belong to the world of common people.

When Yang Yi wears something casual, like a simple T-shirt and jeans, he attracts plenty of fiery gazes.

If Yang Yi dresses in shabby clothes, he receives a lot of help from people.

Note: By people, it specifically refers to females. Men are not non-existent, but their numbers and proportions are negligible.

This is normal, as seeing a handsome and successful man lets most women know they stand no chance.

However, when a handsome man who is ordinary in other respects appears before them, as long as they aren’t in too bad a condition, they at least feel like they have a chance.

So today, when Yang Yi, dressed in slightly dirty and old clothes, was buying a hot dog in front of Bell Securities, he received a kind gift from a young white-collar woman.

A hot dog.

Yang Yi swore he hadn’t eaten from a roadside stall in a long time, and he just glanced at the hot dog stall with perhaps a complex expression, but unbeknownst to him, out of the three women who queued up beside him, one immediately offered the hot dog she had just bought to Yang Yi.

"May I treat you to a hot dog?"

Yang Yi was somewhat stunned, his expression complex.

The girl smiled softly and said in a gentle and encouraging voice: "It’s just a hot dog, may I have the honor?"

Yang Yi took the hot dog, then nodded and said softly, "Thank you."

The hot dog wasn’t big, and Yang Yi finished it quickly; even though he was quite full now, how could he refuse such kindness?

But just as the woman who had given him the hot dog rejoined the line to buy another one, a younger girl, barely more than a child, handed her hot dog to Yang Yi.

"I bought five, you can eat them slowly."

Looking at the girl’s shy yet hopeful face, Yang Yi realized that if he were to live off others’ kindness, he really had a bright future.

"Thank you, but I’m not hungry anymore, however... I must eat this one."

Yang Yi took the freshly made hot dog and stuffed it into his mouth in no time, stifling the urge to burp, then smiled at the two women and said, "Thank you for the hot dogs, I really appreciate it."

"Your phone number..."

The young girl looked very disappointed, but she swallowed the rest of her words because Yang Yi had already turned away and walked off.

He returned to Anton’s side as if escaping, and couldn’t help but burp.

Anton, with a look of disdain, said: "Fuck! I can deeply feel the malice of this world."

"Why?"

"No one has ever volunteered to buy me a hotdog, in fact, no one has ever offered me any food at all. It really is a world that judges by appearances. Sometimes I can’t help but wonder how much God must favor you, giving you both a brilliant mind and a face that drives women crazy."

Yang Yi scratched his head and said, "Don’t be jealous, it won’t do you any good. Let’s focus on the important matters at hand."

Anton sighed, then glanced at the tall building in front of them and whispered, "Larry Bell is back in the office now, if you still want to carry out surveillance, you’d need to get into his company. If you don’t plan on entering his company today, we might as well go back."

Yang Yi looked at his watch and said, "It’s still early, maybe Larry will go out, so it’s better we keep a watch here a little longer."

Anton looked intently at Yang Yi for a while and said, "You’re not just trying to keep an eye on Larry Bell. We both know that under current circumstances, once Larry Bell is back in his company, he won’t leave again, so you’re actually just avoiding the Blade Queen."

Yang Yi said sternly, "It’s the Blade Queen, not just any queen."

Anton glared at Yang Yi with a reprimanding look, and Yang Yi said with a helpless expression, "Dude, I already have Kate."

"You also have Bonnie and Petra, so what does that change?"

"Bonnie and Petra are okay, but it’s different with Kate, I... can’t develop anything more than friendship with the Blade Queen, uh, why are you so concerned about this?"

Anton suddenly said fiercely, "Because she is my only assistant! And she’s getting heartbroken over you, buddy. You can’t give me an assistant who’s always upset and troubled over a man!"

Yang Yi was at a loss for words, and Anton said quietly, "The queen’s reactions are becoming more intense. You know, she cursed you in Chinese as a bastard yesterday just because she didn’t see you, and you didn’t talk to her even once. Has she ever cursed you like this before?"

"No..."

Anton spread his hands and said, "That’s why, no matter what relationship you plan to have with her in the future, right now, you’d better turn the Blade Queen back into that calm and decisive sniper, or else send her back home. I don’t want to work with a resentful woman."

"She’s not a resentful woman..."

"She’s not, but she’s even scarier than one."

Yang Yi murmured, "Doesn’t seem like it."

"Doesn’t it?"

Yang Yi felt a bit guilty and coughed lightly, then said, "Alright, let’s discuss some serious matters. The TV station has started broadcasting news that’s detrimental to Bell Securities; the share prices of several companies under Bell Securities have dropped significantly, and today our mole is going to strike a fatal blow to Bell Securities."

Anton shook his head and said, "Not a fatal blow, just a severe one. Don’t change the subject, resolve the queen’s issue for me!"

Yang Yi waved his hand and said, "So tonight is going to be very important. Larry Bell will definitely be working overtime at the company. It’s a crisis, though not a fatal one, but still a crisis that needs to be handled cautiously and meticulously, so we might need to take action tonight."

Anton spoke impatiently, "This is Boer’s decision. We only act when he thinks the crisis has peaked. Listen, don’t try to change the subject! I need you to resolve the queen’s issue right now, before we proceed. Did you get me?"

Yang Yi looked at his watch and said quietly, "I need to go sign some documents; I bought an apartment today and Petra is waiting for me to go sign them."

Anton grabbed Yang Yi and said fiercely, "Even if I don’t have as good a memory as you, I still remember that you bought that apartment yesterday! So you’re coming with me to see the queen now, got it?"

Yang Yi pursed his lips and then said with extreme reluctance, "No problem..."
