Chapter 410: You Take Charge of the Beauty Side, I’ll Handle the Handsome Side (2)
“If there are things that I fail to do well, I’ll have to ask this beauty to pardon me.”
Are we trading pleasantries now?
Shi Yao pondered for a moment before returning with a pleasantry, “Yes, it’s the same for me as well. If there are any inadequacies about me, I would be thankful if a dashing man like you could bear with it.”
“Un.”
Mister Numbers replied with a single word before falling silent. Most likely, he had returned back to the game.
In this moment of silence, Shi Yao munched on her apple as she stared blankly at the wall ahead of her…
Had her instincts gone awry? Why was it that she felt like she had… somehow been baited into a trap? It’s as if she hadn’t even realized that she had been sold, and she was still foolishly going along with it…
…
It was already eleven at night by the time they ended the game.
Xia Shangzhou and Lu Benlai hadn’t returned to the dormitory yet.
After Lin Jiage bade his farewell to Shi Yao inside the game, he put aside his phone and went to take a bath.
While he was wiping himself dry, he heard a ruckus sounding outside the door and guessed that Xia Shangzhou and Lu Benlai had returned.
And coincidentally, just as he walked out of the washroom, Xia Shangzhou and Lu Benlai walked into the room too, causing both sides to meet one another.
Xia Shangzhou: “Boss, do you know how pitiful I am?”

Lu Benlai: “Boss, your Little Lailai has never been so miserable before! Do you know?”
“I don’t know…” Lin Jiage replied as he wiped his hair dry. There was a slight pause before he added on, “… and I’m not interested to know either…”
Xia Shangzhou: “Wuuuu, how heart-wrenching! Boss, you really don’t love me anymore!”
Lu Benlai: “It’s all your fault, grandson! Definitely your mistake! Otherwise, how could boss not care about me too?”
Xia Shangzhou: “Pui, you grandson! You were clearly the one who dragged me down!”
Lu Benlai: “Hey, how can someone as handsome as me possibly drag anyone down?”
“…”
Facing the two chatterboxes before him, Lin Jiage sat quietly as he grabbed a hairdryer and blew his hair dry.
By the time he finally put down the hairdryer, he glanced at the duo sitting by the side, and it looked like they were really brooding over something.
Forget it! Since it’s a joyous day for me and Soft Bun, I’ll make an exception and show some concern to them…
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage walked up to them, took a seat, and asked, “Come, let me hear just how pitiful and miserable the two of you have been.”
Xia Shangzhou: “I’ll go first!”
Lu Benlai: “Oi, I’m your grandpa. Don’t you know how to respect your elders?”
Xia Shangzhou: “Gramps, haven’t you heard of the phrase ‘caring for the youths’?”
Lu Benlai: “Alright then. Since my grandson has already said so, I guess I’ve no choice but to let you go first.”
Completely unaware that he had been taken advantage of, Xia Shangzhou immediately turned to Lin Jiage and started ranting, “Boss, I know that we are already Year 4s and need to go for internships during the holidays, so I sent my resumes everywhere. Ah well, there’s one thing that I didn’t tell you. Actually, I sent a copy of my resume to your company, and I didn’t tell you that because I’m afraid that you’ll speak up for me due to our relationship. As you know, I’m an outstanding and upright individual who never resorts to taking the back doors. I want to succeed with my own capabilities…”
“You’re thinking too much. Other than Soft Bun, I won’t open a back door for anyone,” Lin Jiage smashed Xia Shangzhou’s delusions without any hesitation.
“Boss… can’t you at least spare me some face?” Xia Shangzhou clutched his chest as if he had just received fatal damage.
Lin Jiage’s lips moved a bit, but he eventually held himself back.
So, Xia Shangzhou got back to the topic on hand, “As reality shows, even if our boss doesn’t open a back door for me, I’m still able to make it with my own capability. Just as I thought, I received the acceptance call from our boss’ company.”
