Chapter 105
Bai Xiaoxiao hid behind her document envelope and secretly gave Yun Youyou a thumbs-up.
At those words, the two middle-aged women who had been chatting and laughing finally stopped.
Four vicious eyes fixed firmly on Yun Youyou.
This newcomer actually dared to call them deaf!
The auntie on the left slowly sipped her tea, then shot Yun Youyou a sinister sidelong glance.
“Young people really shouldn’t be so arrogant. And when you speak to me, show some respect.”
Yun Youyou raised one delicate brow and apologized sincerely. “I’m sorry. I was too rude just now.”
The auntie nodded in satisfaction as she drank her tea.
At least this one had a little sense.
Who would have thought Yun Youyou still had half a sentence left?
“I’m sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have called you two deaf. I should have addressed you both as the ‘Descendants of the Deaf.'”
“Pfft! Cough, cough, cough…”
The auntie, who had only just taken a sip of tea, sprayed it straight out after hearing Yun Youyou’s words.
Standing beside her, Bai Xiaoxiao gazed up in worship at Yun Youyou’s majestic figure.
You couldn’t find a second mouth this fearless in the entire Company.
The auntie on the right was so furious her hair was practically standing on end.
“Who are you calling deaf?! You’re the deaf one! Your whole family is deaf!”
A crystalline tear suddenly gathered at the corner of Yun Youyou’s eye.
She lifted her gaze slightly. That glittering tear refracted dazzling rainbow light beneath the fluorescent lamp, then quietly rolled down her cheek.
The other three people: ???
Yun Youyou suddenly rushed over and hugged the two middle-aged women, shouting with a sob in her voice, “So we really are long-lost family!”
The faces of the two women in the finance office instantly darkened.
They had only just cursed Yun Youyou’s whole family as deaf, and now Yun Youyou had rushed over claiming they were actually one family.
What a vicious little fox!
Bai Xiaoxiao watched from the side in utter amazement.
There was always a higher mountain!
A person needed dignity like a tree needed bark. If a tree had no bark, it was doomed. If a person had no shame, they were invincible!
“Get away from me! Who’s family with you?!”
The woman had just raised her hand to swat Yun Youyou’s arm away when Yun Youyou withdrew her own hand first.
Looking at her hand, which had struck nothing but air, the woman grew even angrier!
In just a few short minutes of sparring, the two women had already learned exactly how difficult Yun Youyou was to deal with.
Against someone this troublesome, the best solution was out of sight, out of mind.
Eager to send Yun Youyou away, the two of them simply said outright, “The finance director isn’t at the Company right now. Without his signature, we can’t do anything either. You’d better hurry back.”
Yun Youyou asked, “Then when will he be back?”
“How would we know? Hurry up and go back. Go on, go!”
The two coaxed and deceived Yun Youyou right out the door.
Someone this difficult had better not come again.
One woman said, “From now on, as soon as we hear her footsteps, lock the door. Don’t let her in under any circumstances!”
The other woman nodded in deep agreement.
“I’ll go hang a sign on the door in a bit.”
When Bai Xiaoxiao saw the two women from the finance office lower themselves to personally escort Yun Youyou out, she thought she might receive the same treatment.
She quickly stepped forward with a smile. “About this document, could you-”
Before she could finish speaking, the two women in the finance office had already returned to their seats and started chattering away again.
Bai Xiaoxiao still wanted to try speaking up one more time.
One of the women waved her hand impatiently.
“Where did this fly come from? So annoying!”
The other woman wrinkled her nose too. “Exactly. Even this room has disgusting flies buzzing around. How shameless!”
Bai Xiaoxiao: …Thank you. Message received loud and clear.
Boohoo… They really had picked her out as the softest target to bully.
Hmph. Starting today, she was going to learn from Yun Youyou!
In the elevator.
Yun Youyou was halfway down when she realized the hair tie she wore around her wrist seemed to have fallen off in that office just now.
It had probably fallen off when she hugged those “Descendants of the Deaf.”
Yun Youyou only had that one elastic.
She hurriedly doubled back.
But when had a little sign appeared by the door?
It definitely had not been there earlier.
Yun Youyou bent slightly and read the words on the sign one by one.
“Yun Youyou and dogs are not allowed inside?”
Yun Youyou: …
She had never imagined that one day, the name Yun Youyou would be placed side by side with dogs.
For a moment, Yun Youyou didn’t even know what to say.
Even she couldn’t help giving herself a thumbs-up and saying, “Yun Youyou, you really are something else!”
But for the sake of her hair tie, Yun Youyou still knocked and went in.
“Sorry to bother you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao had already given up in disappointment and was about to leave.
But the moment she reached the door, she ran right into Yun Youyou pushing it open.
The two women in the finance office had just propped their feet up on their desks.
When they saw Yun Youyou, they couldn’t help spraying out the tea in their mouths.
They quickly stood up and snatched the documents from Bai Xiaoxiao’s hands.
“This needs a signature, right? We’ll sign it right away!”
They thought Bai Xiaoxiao had gotten angry and summoned Yun Youyou back.
Flattered beyond belief, Bai Xiaoxiao found herself surrounded and escorted by the two people from finance.
After Yun Youyou picked up her hair tie from the floor, she got up and left.
Only after seeing Yun Youyou leave did the two women finally let out a breath of relief.
They pushed Bai Xiaoxiao out the door, then decisively locked the office door behind her.
Now no one could get in.
Yun Youyou returned to the office with the invoices.
The moment the Bald Male Manager saw Yun Youyou come back, he immediately hung up the phone in his hand.
That all-too-obvious attempt to cover things up made Yun Youyou begin to suspect that he had deliberately found an excuse to lure her out.
Sensing Yun Youyou’s gaze, the Bald Male Manager stiffly turned his head away.
“The finance director isn’t in.”
Yun Youyou placed the invoices back on the Bald Male Manager’s desk.
“If he’s not in, he’s not in. It doesn’t matter.”
The Bald Male Manager casually swept the stack of invoices on the desk into a drawer. “Get ready in a bit. This afternoon, we’re going to the factory for an on-site inspection. Bring those new hires along too.”
Yun Youyou opened her mouth, about to ask more, but the Bald Male Manager impatiently waved her off.
“If there’s nothing else, hurry up and get out. I need to start working.”
Yun Youyou looked at him thoughtfully, then turned and walked out.
They were going to the factory for an on-site inspection?
Yun Youyou’s instincts told her this Bald Manager was definitely up to something nasty.
As soon as lunchtime arrived, the Bald Male Manager came out of his office, rubbing his stomach.
Seeing that Yun Youyou was still sitting at her desk, he asked in surprise, “Why haven’t you gone to eat yet?”
Yun Youyou blinked. “I’m on a diet.”
The Bald Male Manager glanced at her slender arms, then down at his own big belly.
Hmph. He wasn’t eating lunch today either!
