Chapter 62: Li Muwan’s Little Secret

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Li Muwan’s Little Secret

"You..."

Yin Ruxue snapped her head up, but all she saw was Jiang Fan’s back.

He didn’t even turn his head.

Staring at the office door as it swung shut, Yin Ruxue’s gaze followed, her eyes filled with a deep, unreadable expression.

Back at his desk, Jiang Fan grabbed his things, getting ready to head to the store.

He couldn’t afford to get his pay docked again; it wasn’t like he had much to begin with.

"Jiang Fan, did you really sleep with President Li last night?"

Zhou Lele had appeared beside Jiang Fan at some point and asked in a hushed voice.

He looked up and noticed that many of his closer colleagues had moved to the desks surrounding him.

They were all pretending to be engrossed in their work, but in reality, their ears were all perked up.

"Seriously, do you guys have to be like this? Why are you so gossipy?"

Jiang Fan was a little speechless.

"Do you have any idea how explosive this news is?!"

"We’ve been with the company since Xuerong was founded, we’ve never left, so of course we know President Li very well."

"She doesn’t give any man the time of day. You could even say she’s averse to men, practically androphobic!"

"Some guys can’t even get near her. Just exchanging a few words with a man is enough to make her feel sick."

"A genuine, physical revulsion."

"One time, there was a male client for a very important project that President Li had to handle personally. But after meeting with him, she ran to the bathroom and threw up violently. And all they did was briefly discuss the contract."

Zhou Nian’an added in a low voice from the side, with Zhou Lele nodding frantically in agreement.

"For real? It’s that serious? You all saw it?"

Jiang Fan looked incredulous. Recalling the wildness of last night, it all sounded a bit unbelievable.

"Why would we lie to you? It’s absolutely true!"

"So last night, you two...?"

Sun Yanzi sized Jiang Fan up and down.

"No, no! She just got wasted yesterday, and I took her home, that’s all. I was her assistant for a few hours, did a little driving."

"I took her home, and once she was asleep, I left."

"Took her *home*???"

Everyone stared at him as if they’d just seen a ghost.

"Huh? What’s wrong with that?"

Seeing Jiang Fan’s completely normal expression, the group felt like the sky was falling.

"Do you not know that President Li has never let a single person into her home? Not even other women."

"We’ve known President Li for seven years, but she’s never once invited us to her house..."

"Are you sure you’re not, like, her long-lost love or the one that got away?"

"How is that even possible??"

"But..."

"Don’t say it. I don’t get it either. A woman who throws up just from talking to a man actually let a guy get that close, let him take her home when she was drunk—all the way *home*! *Home*!!"

Sun Yanzi also shook her head, looking as if she’d seen a ghost.

Her relationship with Li Muwan was actually the best in the entire company.

The two of them were what you could call a golden duo, making the sales department a massive success.

So, she knew better than anyone what kind of person Li Muwan really was.

"You guys keep chatting. I’m leaving. I have work to do."

Jiang Fan fled from the nest of gossips as if escaping for his life.

It was after 11 a.m. by the time Jiang Fan arrived at the store.

The situation in the store wasn’t much different from before.

Only a scattered pair of people were walking out the door.

But after he went inside, he was surprised to see a familiar figure standing there.

"What are you doing here?"

That’s right—the person sitting there was none other than Rong Anyao.

"Well, I didn’t have anything to do, and I don’t have work today, so I came here to wait for you. We’re going to dinner tonight."

"You did promise me yesterday."

"You’re not going to back out, are you? A man of your word!"

A mischievous expression appeared on Rong Anyao’s face.

"It’s just dinner. It’s not like you’re going to eat me or something, right?"

"I’ll go, I’ll go. But I don’t get off work for a long time. Are you sure you want to sit here and wait for me?"

"Yes."

Rong Anyao nodded.

"Alright then, you can sit here for now."

"I’m going to get busy."

But there were no customers in the store, so Jiang Fan was extremely bored and getting a bit frustrated.

He glanced at the two employees sitting in the store, playing on their phones.

Jiang Fan shook his head.

"Rong Anyao, can you come here and help me with something?"

Finally, after lunch, Jiang Fan couldn’t help but ask.

"Huh? What kind of help?"

Rong Anyao looked up at him, puzzled, and put down the craft she was working on.

That’s right, Rong Anyao had taken some parts out of her bag and had started weaving small handmade dolls.

"Can you stand here and be a salesperson for me for a while? I’ll pay you."

"There are still three hours until closing. How about 200 yuan?"

Jiang Fan felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn’t help it. 200 yuan was all the cash he had on him.

"No... what exactly are you trying to do?"

Although Rong Anyao was confused, she still walked over.

Refusing Jiang Fan hadn’t even crossed her mind.

"Look, foot traffic in the mall is picking up, but business is great at all the neighboring stores. Only our store gets a few people wandering in, and we can’t even close a single sale."

"So I suspect..."

Jiang Fan whispered a few words in Rong Anyao’s ear.

This made Rong Anyao’s expression turn exceptionally strange.

"Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to do anything weird. You just need to use your good looks to stand by the entrance and help me attract some business."

"...Alright."

Rong Anyao’s gaze subconsciously swept over the two employees.

This made the pair feel very strange.

"You two, go get a uniform for her to change into."

"And don’t just stand around. Go to the back storeroom and take inventory of all the stock."

"Leave the front to us."

The two nodded eagerly. They couldn’t wait to go count stock in the back. After all, they’d already counted it many times; going to the back was just an excuse to slack off.

Jiang Fan paid them no mind. After Rong Anyao changed into the uniform, she stood with him at the entrance.

You have to admit, with their good looks, the two of them really did give off the impression of a handsome couple.

Jiang Fan was tall and handsome, with a healthy color to his tan skin.

Rong Anyao, on the other hand, had a gentle and delicate appearance, with a pretty face that could melt anyone’s heart.

Most importantly, her prominent S-shaped figure was exceptionally eye-catching.

"Ladies and gentlemen, step right up, don’t miss out! Our store’s newly launched products are a real feast for the eyes!"

Jiang Fan cleared his throat and shouted, temporarily checking his pride at the door of the lingerie store.
