Chapter 166 - 164: What if She Likes You?

Chapter 166: Chapter 164: What if She Likes You?

Using someone else’s company to nourish one’s own troops?

Qin Guanglin pondered for a moment and felt it was very possible.

This guy...

"So your company is even less reliable now, and if he wants to take you away, how will you choose?" He Fang asked as she looked at him.

"..." Qin Guanglin fell silent.

He felt this wasn’t quite right.

Putting it bluntly, Sun Wen’s actions were somewhat lacking in virtue.

"Join him in starting a business?" He Fang continued to inquire, "Or continue to stay in a company that you don’t know what it will turn into?"

"It’s all speculation at this point, we’ll talk about it when the time comes." Qin Guanglin shook his head, "If it really comes to that..."

He paused for a moment, "It won’t be too late for me to resign."

This matter violated his principles; he couldn’t do it, even if Sun Wen was the one who brought him into the company.

It was enough to teach Yu Le and the others more frequently, considering it a return for Sun Wen introducing him to the job.

Thinking back, Sun Wen probably already knew his thoughts. Having been together at university for four years, one would be clear about each other’s character. It’s very likely that Sun Wen brought him in to act as a quasi-teacher and test the waters. If it worked, great; if not, he was prepared, which is why he never disclosed the matter.

Qin Guanglin made up his mind, but felt somewhat sorry that Chen Rui had always wanted to pull Sun Wen up and groom him.

"Won’t it be difficult?" He Fang asked.

"What’s so difficult?" Qin Guanglin retorted, "If that’s really his plan, it’s no small matter. I certainly can’t just blindly follow him, right?"

"Friends are friends, but business is business; I can differentiate," he said with a shake of his head, his smile fading as he sighed, "It’s just this boss right now...sigh, it’s a bit difficult here."

Chen Rui and he were not related by blood or law. Qin Guanglin could not go and undermine Sun Wen to Chen Rui, making him cautious.

But Chen Rui had given him a very favorable impression and had advised him several times on the comics matter. To just watch idly felt somewhat irresponsible.

Thinking about it, it was indeed a bit difficult.

"As long as you can differentiate, just don’t get hot-headed and blindly make a ruckus. You’d end up working till midnight every day, and I wouldn’t even let you in."

"Why would that happen?"

"If you ask me, just resign and continue drawing your crappy drawings. Why get involved in their affairs?"

He Fang hadn’t given up and continued to persuade, "It’s not like you can’t survive without money. Have you forgotten what I’ve said to you? I hope you do what you want, not..."

"I know what I’m doing, don’t worry," Qin Guanglin nodded in agreement, "Right now, what I want to do is comics, just keep at it... Let’s not talk about this."

He paused for a moment, then brought the topic back to yesterday’s events, "Anyway, that girl is just a colleague who also happened to attend the wedding..."

"She also ’just happened’ to bring you back?" He Fang picked up from there.

"..." Qin Guanglin thought for a moment, "Perhaps... it is quite coincidental."

He didn’t know why Jiang Lingling was the one to bring him back; it only dawned on him when He Fang mentioned it.

What a coincidence.

Seeing He Fang staring at him in silence, Qin Guanglin raised his hand to touch the mark on his neck, a smile breaking across his brow, "Are you jealous?"

"Tch, would I be jealous of a little girl?" He Fang scoffed, "And it was just driving you home, what’s there to be jealous of?" She narrowed her eyes slightly as she stared at Qin Guanglin, "Unless you guys also..."

"Don’t talk nonsense!" Qin Guanglin quickly cut her off, "Nothing of the sort; she’s just a normal colleague."

Sure enough, she was jealous. Having just graduated and already calling someone working a ’little girl’...

He inexplicably felt amused but didn’t correct her. After all, their conversations had no consequences, and of course, he would side with his girlfriend as long as Teacher He was happy.

"But she likes you." He Fang tilted her head and asked, "What will you do?"

Though she felt secure about Qin Guanglin, having someone doting on him everyday was still somewhat uncomfortable.

"Stop joking, what’s there to like about me?"

Qin Guanglin grinned in response, "Still say you’re not jealous?"

"Yesterday I saw it right away, she likes you," He Fang shook his head, "Otherwise, tell me, out of so many classmates and colleagues, why was it that little girl who took you home? Even if you had passed out on the street, she wouldn’t have been able to lift you up."

"All my classmates had passed out drinking..." Qin Guanglin still found it unlikely.

"Excuse, she just likes you."

"..." He looked at He Fang, who didn’t seem to be joking, and doubted, "Really?"

"Really."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

"Then what should I do?" Qin Guanglin’s heart skipped a beat, "You couldn’t be wrong, could you?"

"I can’t be wrong, isn’t she often hovering around you at the company?" He Fang asked confidently.

"... She often asks some questions."

"Has she invited you to have dinner or grab a drink after work?"

"Uh..." Qin Guanglin tried to explain, "I did help her with something, so she wanted to thank me... "

"Just tell me whether she did or not."

"Yes."

"Does she not know you have a girlfriend?"

"She knows." Qin Guanglin perked up, "She’s known for a long time. That time when she asked me to dinner, I said I was busy, then she asked what it was, and I said I had to be with my girlfriend..." He chuckled, "See, how could she possibly like me, you must be mistaken."

"Great performance, come here and give me a kiss." He Fang laughed and motioned him over with a curl of her finger, and when Qin Guanglin came over, she pecked him on the cheek, then directed him to sit back down, "Now think carefully, has anything unusual happened normally?"

"Anything unusual... I don’t think so." Qin Guanglin shook his head, then suddenly paused, "Wait a minute."

"What?"

"Uh..." He hesitated, unsure whether to speak.

"Spit it out." He Fang urged, "I want to see how she tried to seduce you."

"What do you mean ’seduce,’ that sounds so unsavory." Qin Guanglin wasn’t sure if it was just a coincidence and slowly said, "She always had a single ponytail or wore her hair down, but a few days ago, I drew the female lead in the manga with twin ponytails, and she saw it and wore twin ponytails the next day, asking me if it looked good on her... She said it was because she thought it looked nice in my drawing, that shouldn’t be considered special, right?"

He had just remembered this suddenly, and subconsciously felt it was a bit off, but now thinking about it carefully, he felt it was okay, not knowing whether it was normal or not.

"It’s pretty normal to occasionally want to change a hairstyle," He Fang nodded, "But it’s not normal for her."

"Why?" Qin Guanglin was stunned.

"Because I’m quite sure she likes you; it’s a woman’s intuition," He Fang lifted her chin confidently, "And I definitely wasn’t wrong yesterday."

"Okay then... If she really does like me, what should I do?"

He was somewhat skeptical; how could a perfectly good colleague just start liking someone?

Moreover, usually... Okay, she was a bit too enthusiastic at times.

But it just seemed improbable.

"What to do?" He Fang looked at him, "You’re out here flirting with girls, and you want me to give you advice?"

This guy really was honest, spilling everything outright.

"... Who said I was flirting, don’t talk nonsense." Qin Guanglin was helpless, "Come on, I’m serious, what should I do if this is true?"

"Share a big quilt?" He Fang asked.

"First share a small quilt with me before you say anything else... Stop joking, be serious."

"You don’t have to do anything, just keep doing what you’ve been doing," He Fang suddenly donned a mysterious smile, "Pretend you don’t know... Oh right, I was wrong, she doesn’t like you, just keep doing what you normally do."

???

Qin Guanglin wore a puzzled expression.

It seemed like there was some kind of scheme afoot.
