Chapter 1372 Extra in the Workplace (Part 1)

Chapter 1372: Extra: Magician’s Manual in the Workplace (Part 1)

Aurora London Games Company, 247 New King's Road, Chelsea, London, UK.

Felix held a pile of documents in his hands, struggled to open the handle of the general manager's office, and pushed the door open with his shoulder. Perhaps because she was in a hurry to go to the bathroom, she accidentally twisted her high heels while taking two quick steps and fell straight forward.

"ah."

Papers were thrown forward in confusion, but Felix found that he had not fallen onto the carpet. She turned around and saw Ya Xiu holding her waist. It was obvious that in the flash of lightning just now, the general manager, who never liked sports, actually stopped the accident in time.

Just as Felix was thinking about how to tactfully express that she was willing to use money or even overtime to thank Ash for his help at any cost that would not deepen the relationship between herself and Ash, she was pulled up by Ash to steady her, and she looked up to see Ash. Xiu held the cell phone in his right hand and put it to his ear, motioning for her to get out of the way and not interfere with his phone call. She didn't even need to pick up the files.

"It's okay," Ash knelt down to pick up the documents, "It was just a little accident... Hey, don't slander me. Do I look like someone who has an office romance? Ten hours at work is not enough. Let's continue after get off work. Do I look like such a stupid person after another ten hours?"

Naturally, these words were not spoken to Felix, because Ashi spoke in Chinese.

Felix walked out of the office and closed the door, but left a crack in the door. He raised his ears and pressed against the door, and heard Ash say: "Next time, Naven, when you come to London, let's find a bar to chat slowly. What do you want to do now?" Do you want to discuss it with me?"

Felix immediately knew that the person Ash was talking to was Mr. Cha, the chairman and general manager of the head office. Nevermore was Mr. Cha’s English name. Although it is very strange to use this word as a name. In China, it is equivalent to someone naming themselves "Yong", but after all, this is a game company, and they are Chinese, and everyone is used to it. Not everyone is Like Ash, he has a mixed Chinese and English name like "Ash".

"Huh? Set up a new game project team in the London branch...the initial budget investment is so large?"

"No, of course I am very happy, but why did such a good thing happen to me? No matter how you think about it, this must be a big project that all the studios in the headquarters want to grab, right? And in terms of technical capabilities..."

"Well, well, well, since you have already decided, I won't refuse... What are your requirements? Do you want me to bring someone back for training?"

"Ah? Get married? Why should I get married!? It has nothing to do with me!"

Felix's eyes widened and he listened intently to the sounds inside.

"Even if I get married here, it doesn't mean that I will live permanently. I can get divorced even if I get married. Do you think I won't regret it once it's bound? If you don't trust me, you're afraid that I'll run away halfway through." Lu, I can sign a betting agreement with you, but can I make the board of directors feel at ease if I get married here?"

"Even if you want to develop an IP that can last for decades, you don't need to have the same person in charge from beginning to end, right? And if I can really run it, then you don't have to worry about no one taking over? Even if I return to China, the studio will You won’t follow me either—everyone has signed a non-competition contract.”

The sound was getting farther and farther, and Ash seemed to have walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. It was too far away and Felix's Chinese level was only at the level of playing domestic mobile games, so she could only hear it vaguely. She was so anxious that she couldn't help but push the door open a little, hoping to hear clearly.

"...No need to think about it. How can I think about it after you mentioned it? In fact, I had this plan, but I was delayed by work and couldn't make up my mind. I should thank you for pushing me. "

"Don't worry, I will choose someone in the company before next Tuesday."

"Really, I heard him tell Naven with my own ears that he would choose someone in the company to get married before next Tuesday!"

In Bar Soho, Aurora's staff occupied two booths, separated by a white horse sculpture. No one was listening to the resident band's performance. Felix, the assistant to the general manager's office, raised his head and drank the music in one gulp. His face had a faint blush, which looked softer under the dim light of the bar: "He said it very definitely. , it seems that someone has already been chosen!”

"And there's not even one candidate." Operations Manager Visser analyzed: "He said "choose one", which means that he has many marriage partners in the company to choose from, and he is very confident about them. He will not refuse his own proposal. "

"Is he so confident?" Technical Department Manager Diya looked confused: "He doesn't seem to be close to anyone..."

"Perhaps he feels that with his status, no woman in the company can reject him." Wei Xi, the head of the finance department, sneered: "Period oppression, unspoken rules, sexual harassment, there is always something suitable for him."

"Is it possible that Yaxiu really has several girlfriends who can get married at any time?" Human Resources Manager An Nan pondered: "But I have never seen him get close to anyone, but he also said that he was in the company Choose... Sonia, what do you think?"

Deputy General Manager Sonia was twirling her wine glass. An Nan shouted twice before she came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "I don't know. He has always been focused on work. I feel like he doesn't have any private time."

"You don't even know Sonia? Are you so mysterious?" Visser was a little surprised: "You are the longest-serving employee with Ash."

Among so many middle-level management cadres, Sonia, the general secretary and deputy general manager, is the youngest and most qualified because she was the first employee to join when Ash came to London to set up a branch three years ago. At that time, she was still a freshman in college. As a junior student, I was accidentally tricked by Ash into taking a part-time job. After careful consideration in my sophomore year, I decided to drop out of school and focus on work. It can be said that Aurora's London branch was established by Ash and Sonia. This hard work and determination It also brought her huge returns - at the age of 23, she could buy a house on Old Street. Although it is not a mansion in the city center, it is still close to the city center. For a female student from Essington, this is already a class-crossing achievement.

"But why would the headquarters ask Ash to get married?" Tamashi, the ACT project director, looked confused: "Do they even care about the private lives of managers?"

Felix explained: "It seems that the headquarters is arranging a very important big project for us, but Ashi may return to China at any time, so the headquarters requires him to get married and live permanently in the UK before letting him take over the project. This way we can avoid situations like changing the person in charge in the middle.”

"It seems to make sense, but it doesn't make sense at all." Diya complained, "The brain circuit over at the headquarters is so weird."

"If Ash really gets married, he will probably stay in London with all his heart." Vichy shook the wine glass and said, "It's not like you don't understand his character."

"So he can only accept it." Visser spread his hands: "If he misses this opportunity, he may never have the opportunity to take charge of such an important project in his life. Even if it is for his career, he has to get married, not to mention... He seems to have already A potential candidate that I am satisfied with.”

"Could it be Freya from the brand department?" Tamashi said suddenly.

"It's possible." An Nan shook the wine glass and said with a smile: "I wouldn't be surprised if Freya showed up with Ash's child in her arms... But as far as I know, it's either Freya's unrequited love or... Ash doesn't like women, otherwise they would have killed people in the past three years."

Everyone in the company knows that Freya likes Ash, and even the reason why Freya goes to work is to pursue Ash. It’s not that Freya is a rich second generation, but she is indeed not short of money – because her best friend Shiffrin, the manager of the second operation project department, is an investment genius.

When Freya and Shiffrin first joined the company three years ago, they happened to catch up with the trend of virtual currency. Shiffrin decisively pulled Freya into the market together, and successfully sold it a hundred times after a year. . But perhaps because she didn't spend much money and relied on her best friends to support her, Freya actually forgot to cash out this investment. When she remembered, the virtual currency she held had increased three thousand times.

With just such an operation, Freya's income beat 100% of the company's employees. A week after the news came out, everyone in the company, including Ya Xiu, was in melancholy wondering, "What's the point of working all my life?"

The reason why Freya and Shiffrin, two financially free little rich women, still stay in the company is because Freya always wanted Ash to eat warm soft rice, while Shiffrin was working with her best friend to pass the time. By the way, I used the company's online stock trading.

When it comes to Ash getting married, everyone’s first thought is Freya. Ash definitely didn't hate Freya, but he never accepted Freya's love. He felt like a shock shooter flying Freya's kite, and like the Neptune who raised Freya's fish.

But that's just it, no one thinks Ash is a scumbag - if it were anyone else, Freya would have been devoured and wiped out with her money. Sometimes they all wonder if Freya is fishing. After all, a sexy, cute, rich and love-minded blond Veela pesters you every day and says, "I will listen to you in everything." What normal person can resist? Live to ravage her criminal impulses.

"It can't be Freya." Visser said firmly.

"Why? Wouldn't it be nice to find someone who likes you?" Felix put his chin on his hands and said yearningly: "If I were Ash, I would definitely choose someone who has all eyes for me."

"Because Freya's love is too childish." Sonia said calmly as she swung her wine glass: "The passionate love that lasted for several years is so unreal, so illusory, it's almost like a science fiction story. Ash has never been in love before. He was willing to accept it, but he felt that Freya's feelings were just a whim. If he really dated Freya, Freya might soon find it boring... He couldn't be sure that Freya loved him. Still love everything you have given for him.”

"Rejecting such a good girl just because of this?" Tamashi seemed a little regretful.

"There are not so many ups and downs in reality, and he doesn't even have a chance to test it." Sonia smiled: "In order not to get hurt, he doesn't come into contact. That's the kind of person he is."

"Where's your distant relative Felix?" Vichy suddenly asked.

Felix was startled, and then he immediately responded: "Are you talking about Sister Fanxing?"

Sister Fanxing is of course not called Fanxing, but she is the head of Fanxing Studio, which is also a branch of Aurora in the UK. However, Fanxing Studio focuses on game research and development, while Aurora London is also responsible for publishing operations and other matters.

"It's impossible." Diya spread her hands and said with a smile: "Fanxing is about the same age as Wei Xi! How could Yaxiu like such an old man--"

Snapped!

Vichy slapped the wine glass heavily on the glass table, and glanced at Diya with a slightly raised corner of his mouth. Diya immediately fell silent and honestly put the biscuits in her mouth.

"Ya Xiu and Fan Xing do have a close relationship. After all, projects require frequent communication." Visser said thoughtfully: "But at most it can only be said that it is somewhat possible... Ya Xiu is not more likely to choose Fan Xing than anyone here. .”

"Could it be that the person Ya Xiu really wants to marry..." An Nan flicked her amethyst earrings, and said leisurely: "Is it among us?"

"I'm not interested anyway," Wei Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at them: "Are you interested?"

"Not me either," Tamashi replied.

"Who would be interested in him?" Felix immediately agreed.

"I only have work-related communication with Ash," Weisel said with a smile.

"If he pursues me, I might consider it, but he actually wants to skip marriage and get married directly. I am not happy with it!" Diya looked at Sonia: "Sonya, do you think so too?"

"Of course." Sonia took a sip of Tequila Sunrise, with a drunken blush on her face. She shrugged and smiled: "And who would fall in love in the company? Eight hours at work is not enough and you have to watch eight more after get off work. Aren’t you tired of being young?”

"It seems it's not us." An Nan sighed: "It seems we won't know the truth until next Monday."

"Isn't it next Tuesday?" Felix blinked: "Ash said it will be selected next Tuesday..."

An Nan smiled and said, "Look at what day next Tuesday is?"

"No. 15...wait!"

Diya reacted instantly: "Next Tuesday is February 15th!"

"If Ash really proposes, he will definitely choose next Monday, which is Valentine's Day, February 14th." Vichy traced her fingers along the rim of the wine glass: "Although he may also ask someone out on the weekends tomorrow or the next two days. , but Ash is a person who pays great attention to rituals and will try his best to win the platinum trophy even when playing games. It is absolutely impossible for him to choose an ordinary day to propose."

"Honestly, a Valentine's Day proposal is not very ceremonial. It's a bit too cliché." Although Weisel was complaining, his face was full of smiles: "But with his personality, he can notice this. Very hard work.”

"Vichy, how do you know that Ash will try his best to win the platinum trophy when playing games?" Diya asked curiously: "You also have his game friends? But don't you hate games very much? You don't even play our own games. …”

Wei Xi turned his head away: "Maybe he said it on Instagram——"

"Are you still following his Instagram?"

"Ah, does Ash have a social account?" Felix was shocked: "How come I never knew that I was his assistant!?"

"I found his YouTube account." Weisel said, "But he collected videos of knife forging, fishing, and house renovation. I thought I could find a lot of videos of beautiful women."

"Is there any difference between Chinese Valentine's Day and British Valentine's Day?" Tamashi suddenly asked.

"I only know that girls in Japan will take the initiative to give chocolates on Valentine's Day." Diya raised her hand, "Many Valentine's Day activities in mobile games also have female characters giving chocolates. I think it should be like this!"

"It seems to be pretty much the same. We also have chocolate, red rose, teddy bears and cards." An Nan said, "But in the UK, gifts are generally given by men to women..."

Sonia shook her wine glass and said calmly: "No matter what, it will be clear in two days to Monday."

"Yes, this weekend is our boss's last bachelor's weekend." An Nan smiled softly, stood up and put on the GUCCI tote bag: "I have something to do, so I will go back tonight."

"Everyone, see you next Monday."

After An Nan left, everyone also left one after another, but the farewells when leaving seemed to have some inexplicable deep meaning.

Monday, February 14th.

Ash got out of the car, wrapped himself in his windbreaker and yawned. Every weekend he would stay up late playing games, but on Monday morning he looked like Yuan Shu had just been resurrected, fully interpreting what it meant to be a 'bone in the grave'.

He could still cheer up a little while driving, but when the cold wind hit his face, he immediately felt pain and sleepiness. He quickly quickened his pace, said hello to the security guard on duty outside, and entered the warm room.

"Axiu, Xiuxiu~"

Ash's whole body suddenly became energetic and he was ready to hug Wenxiang Nephrite who jumped into his arms. Although the other party is also wearing a sweater, it can't hide the thrilling body curves at all. Wearing a skirt and black stockings is both warm and cute. It's soft and elastic when you hold it, like holding a porcelain ragdoll cat. .

The receptionist was not surprised when he saw this scene, but he still put down his mobile phone and stopped watching tiktok, so as not to be discovered by the boss that he was fishing just after work.

"Good morning, Freya." Ash rubbed her pink-haired head and sighed fondly: "Even if you want to hug me, you don't have to guard me at the door every Monday... I promised you. You get it once a week and you can redeem it anytime.”

"But what I look forward to most every Sunday is going to work on Monday~"

Freya tilted her head and giggled, saying what only a ghost could say: "The number of hugs is refreshed every Monday. After every Monday, I look forward to the next Monday! And Ash, you are always very sleepy on Monday mornings. You’re so cute, maybe I’ll fall asleep in my arms while holding you, and then I’ll quietly take you back to my house~”

Freya has been on the offensive against Ash long ago, but her expression of love regardless of time and place will obviously have an indelible negative impact on the social environment. Generally speaking, in this case, Ash will either eat her or fire her. , all in all, this black sheep cannot be allowed to affect the production efficiency of surplus value, but Ya Xiu chose the third path: three chapters of the law.

You can date as much as you want after get off work, but you must not cause trouble while at work. But Ash would never accept Freya's date invitation after get off work. He would either work overtime or go home and spend a pleasant night in front of the 98-inch TV and playing games.

Perhaps knowing that he was not honest, Yaxiu later relaxed and agreed with Freya that they could hug each other during work hours, but there was only one chance a week. Therefore, for the past three years, Yaxiu would be greeted by Freya every Monday when he first entered the company. Hug, sometimes Ash shows up and doesn’t want to go to work and Freya calls him to get up, otherwise she won’t be able to complete her weekly tasks.

The amazing thing is that there isn't much gossip in the company. Freya's outstanding affinity, cute personality and impeccable appearance make the whole company happy to raise her as a daughter. Everyone is happy with the interaction between Freya and Ash. Seeing it happen, it felt like watching my daughter play house with a kindergartener.

Ash looked at her for a while, then leaned over and rubbed her face, like two cats licking each other's fur: "Freya."

"Um?"

"You are so warm."

"Hehe." Freya raised her head happily, the tip of her nose twitching, "I feel like you are a little different today, Ash. Is there something you want to tell me?"

"yes."

"Really?" Freya's eyes lit up, and her expression became tense instantly: "I, I, you wait, I'm going to put on my makeup first—"

"Send the research report before 11 o'clock." Ya Xiu flicked her forehead: "I'm in a hurry."

"I know-" Freya touched her forehead and looked unhappy: "Are you free tonight?"

"No, I have to work overtime." Ash couldn't help but yawned: "I have to have a video conference with the headquarters..."

"I knew it." Freya took out a gift: "Chocolate made by me!"

Ash took it and smiled: "Thank you, I have snacks for overtime tonight."

Freya stood up on tiptoes and kissed Ash on the cheek, straightened his collar, and said crisply: "Then I'll go back to work!"

Watching her skipping away, although he was still very sleepy, Ash felt much better. Even the sadness of going to work on Monday was diluted. He hummed a song and took the elevator to the third floor.

*

Freya walked into the rest room and saw the black-haired girl making coffee. She hugged her from behind and cried: "Sif - Ash still hasn't proposed to me - wu wu wu -"

"I have said it before." Shiffrin said calmly: "He will not list you as a wife. If he was willing, he would have eaten you in the past three years."

"Then Sif, why did you remind me to send chocolates today?"

"This is paving the way for the future." Shiffrin said: "According to Yaxiu's character, you basically have no hope before he gets married. He is a conservative and traditional type at heart, and your character makes him insecure unless Something will happen to test the relationship between you, otherwise he will never accept your feelings easily."

"But wouldn't it be even more hopeless for me if he gets married!?"

"This is the limitation of a man like him. The reason why he refuses to accept you is because he takes relationships too seriously and is worried that he will delay you..."

"I also value relationships very seriously!"

"Listen to me first. He attaches great importance to relationships, but he has never been in love. This means that he has very unrealistic illusions about married life. Only after he gets married will he understand the relationship between the two. How much trouble will there be in personal life together. When the marriage filter is broken and you appear in front of him again, your meticulous love for him will be equivalent to pulling him back to heaven when he falls into hell. Only then will I wholeheartedly belong to you."

"So do you understand?" Shiffrin concluded: "First love is hopeless, becoming the third party is your only way to win!"

"Okay!" Freya's blood boiled after hearing this. She seemed to be imagining the scene of Ash seeking comfort from her. She clenched her fists and said, "I will definitely be the third person who can destroy Ash's marriage!"

*

Ash returned to the office and sat down. First he opened his computer and checked his emails, and then looked at his schedule for today. Before his chair was warmed, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

An Nan came in with two cups of coffee. Today she was wearing a long black slim skirt, a white scarf, and a small round hat. She had the romance of an artistic girl and the abstinence of a nun. She walked behind the desk and next to the table, "Stay up late and have a drink, unless you want to sleep here and drool and let the whole company know."

Ash took a sip and felt so bitter that his whole body became excited. He said with a grimace, "Even if you add some milk, I really can't stand pure black coffee."

"You can refresh yourself when you can't stand it." An Nan stretched and said leisurely: "If you want milk, just express it yourself."

As An Nan raised her head and raised her chest, the plump fruit tightly wrapped in the black dress became more and more trembling, reminiscent of a ripe peach, and Ash's eyes couldn't help but fall in. He took a sneak glance and felt that he was very rude, so he turned around and took a look openly, took a sip of coffee and asked, "What do you want to see me for so early in the morning?"

An Nan pressed his hands on the edge of the table and folded his chest with his arms, causing the two wrapped elastic balls to be squeezed closer together. "I heard... will there be a large-scale personnel transfer recently?"

"Are you too well-informed?" Ya Xiu smiled and said, "It will be confirmed in two days, and you will be busy soon. Our company will recruit many, many people."

"But I'm not very satisfied with my current position," Annan said. "I want to... challenge some more valuable work."

"Well -" Ashus crossed his hands on his chest, his expression a little tangled: "I will think about it, but you don't have too many expectations, because I have already chosen the person I want."

"You know, an answer like yours can already be regarded as a hint of unspoken rules." An Nan reached out to touch the back of Ya Xiu's hand, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "If I had a recording pen, you would be ruined."

Ash blinked: "But you really have a voice recorder."

"Of course." An Nan took out a voice recorder from her wrist: "I pay great attention to protecting myself, so as not to be accidentally eaten by my boss and I don't have any evidence to blackmail him."

"But, do you want to unspoken rules for me?" She leaned down in front of Ya Xiu, gently opened her red lips, and her eyes were full of charm: "For the future, I can do anything, such as..."

She turned her right hand over and there was an extra gift in her hand: "I'll make you a Valentine's Day chocolate."

"Thank you." Ash accepted it unceremoniously: "Why did you give me chocolate this year?"

"I can bribe you without spending any money or time, why not?" An Nan smiled slightly, looked at him seriously for a while, and picked up his cup when he left: "Aren't you going to drink? "

"I won't drink anymore. After drinking more than half of it, I think I'm sober enough."

"What a waste." An Nan drank the rest of Ash's coffee in one gulp, his voice slightly lowered: "I actually quite like the bitter taste, it's sober enough and deep enough... But you seem to be more suitable for Gesha. Flavor, I’ll make it for you next time.”

"Okay." Ash smiled and said, "But I don't think they are as good as Coca-Cola."

"No taste." An Nan snorted, opened the door and left, just in time to see Tamashi coming in outside.

The two looked at each other, An Nan pursed his lips and smiled, patted Tamashi on the shoulder and smiled softly: "Come on."

Ash raised his head and saw Tamashi wearing a mask, and asked doubtfully: "Is something wrong? Is the equipment broken?"

"No, nothing happened in the studio." Tamashi shook his head quickly.

"That……"

Tamashi was silent for several seconds, then suddenly took off her mask, revealing her incomparably beautiful face. She took out a box of chocolates that she obviously bought from the store and put it on the table. Then she took a deep breath, her neck turned a light pink, and said generously: "Ash, Happy Valentine's Day."

"...Thank you." Ya Xiu blinked and asked tentatively: "Are you... okay?"

"there is none left!"

Tamashi met his gaze and smiled slightly: "Let's box together next time!"

"good."

Just like her outfit of flat shoes, jeans and jacket all day long, Tamashi's character is so simple and direct, without any sloppiness. After finishing speaking, she left the office, as if she was really here to deliver chocolates.

Or for her and Ash, the mere act of giving chocolates was enough to contain all the unsaid words.

Ash's head felt like it was a mess, and he was a little at a loss. He rubbed his temples and decided to go to the bathroom to wash his face and calm down. When he opened the door and entered the men's bathroom, someone suddenly pushed him into the cubicle from behind.

"Shhh."

The tall woman with twin ponytails pressed Ash against the partition. She placed one foot between Ash's legs. The two of them were almost tightly attached to each other. Ash could even feel her breath on his cheeks. On her upper body, her fleshy thighs and slender waist were squeezed until they were deformed, plump and elastic. Ash could outline the dazzling outline of her little suit just by touching her.

"Vichy!? How did you-"

"Take it."

Wei Xi put a box of gifts into his hand. Ash took a look and found that it was the same brand as the one given by Tamashi. He looked confused: "Are you going into the bathroom to attack me when you give me chocolates? Can't you go to my office?"

"Are you stupid? If others see it, where will I put my face?" Wei Xi rolled his eyes at him: "Do you want it?"

"I feel like if I say no you're going to push my head into the toilet."

"It's good to know." Wei Xi hummed twice, "Since you accept it, then you have to choose -"

At this moment, several people came into the bathroom. Vichy immediately fell silent and the two of them hid in the cubicle motionless. I thought it would be fine soon, but this time seemed to be their fishing time before going to work. Instead of leaving, they started smoking.

"Are you going to do the Valentine's Day event online tonight?"

"I have Valentine's Day activities offline, so I'm not as free as you."

"You actually humiliated me like this, I'm going to break up with you!"

"Have you ever thought about finding a girlfriend for offline activities? Aren't there many beauties in your finance department?"

"No chance, we all have boyfriends."

"No one left?"

"There's not a single one left!"

"No way, the most handsome one in the finance department definitely doesn't have a boyfriend. Why don't you try? (laughing)"

"...I feel suffocated when I breathe the same air as my supervisor at work. Do you think I dare to pursue her? Her character is really... If it weren't for the high salary, I would have wanted to change jobs. It's really a torture every day."

“There’s a reason why some people don’t want to be loved.”

"It's not that no one wants them. I think people in a vegetative state can still barely tolerate the torture of their supervisors. If they can't endure it, a medical miracle will happen."

The two chatted for a while and smoked a cigarette before finally agreeing to leave. After they left, Ash returned his eyes to Vichy. Wei Xi's face was gloomy, and she could obviously tell which subordinate had spoken ill of her just now. He would definitely have a grudge and start a killing spree when he returned.

"Don't worry," Ash hugged her gently and whispered, "No one wants either of us."

Wei Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing, glared at Ash in annoyance, hummed slightly proudly, pinched Ash's waist: "I didn't care!"

"Get out." Ashi said, "I have received your thoughts."

"Then you..." Wei Xi raised his head and wanted to ask, but when he met Ashus bright eyes, he smiled slightly and said nothing.

She understood something immediately, pursed her lips and gave Ash a hug, then suddenly pinched Ash's cheek hard and snatched the gift back: "I won't give it to you anymore!"

Ash was angry and funny. After following her out of the bathroom, Vichy suddenly opened the gift, grabbed his chin and stuffed a piece of chocolate inside.

Sweet, greasy, and a bit alcoholic, it's wine-centered chocolate.

"Is it tasty?"

"tasty."

"If you say you want it now, I can consider it-"

"I want it." Ash extended his hand and smiled: "Miss Vichy, can you give me this Valentine's Day chocolate?"

Wei Xi seemed not to have expected his reaction. She was slightly startled, then bit her lower lip lightly and looked at him with an extremely complicated expression.

"Take it." She stuffed the gift back into Ash's hand, and suddenly came over and pointed at the corner of Ash's mouth: "Look, your mouth is full..."

She leaned forward, kissed Ash on the corner of the mouth, and then turned away without looking back, running away as if running away.

Ya Xiu stayed for a few seconds and sighed softly. As soon as he turned around, he saw Diya rushing over and pulling him away.

"What happened?"

"There's no time to explain, come with me!"

Ashiu was pulled into Diya's office and watched with confusion as Diya started the video conference. Then his expression immediately changed from confusion to fright.

"Let me introduce, these are my three sisters, namely White, Black and Red." Diya pointed to the three people on the screen and said: "I also have a sister, but I have nothing to do with her today, so I won't introduce her."

"Hello." Ya Xiu greeted first and then couldn't help but ask: "Are you quadruplets?"

The four Di Ya sisters on the screen all look exactly the same, except for the differences in hair color and temperament. Bai is dignified and generous, Black is calm and polite, Red is wild and focused, and Diya is lively and cheerful. They are four completely different styles. However, it can be seen that these differences are based on the premise that Ash knows that they are four people - in Diya Before he said it, Ash felt that there was almost no difference between them!

"Yes, it's very powerful!" Diya made a seal with her hands and said proudly: "If we stand together, you will definitely think that I know the clone technique!"

"It's very powerful." Ya Xiu nodded: "But why are you bringing me here in a hurry?"

"I have something to tell you," Diya paused: "Actually, our current job is shared by the four sisters."

"ah?"

"It's like this. Bai is studying for a Ph.D., Hei is playing in a band, and Hong is an Internet celebrity in extreme sports. However, their jobs can hardly cover their living expenses. I happen to be very lazy, so the four of us sisters are responsible for Aurora's business together. The work basically means that each person works a shift for a week. Although the salary is divided among four people, we can take 25 days off every month and have more time to focus on our hobbies."

Ash was dumbfounded. It took him more than ten seconds to digest such complicated information. He took a deep breath and asked, "Why are you telling me now?"

Diya looked at the sisters on the screen, opened the drawer and took out a large package of gifts: "These are the Valentine's Day chocolates that the four of us sisters made together."

Ash took it blankly and responded in a very uncertain tone: "...Thank you?"

"Ash, don't you understand?" Diya emphasized: "This is the chocolate for our four sisters!"

"Well, I know, what next?"

"You still don't understand!" Diya said anxiously: "All four of us sisters have come to class, which means that the Lisi Diya you know is the common image of our four sisters!"

"In other words, if you pursue me, you can have four girlfriends!"

Ash was shocked: "There is such a good thing!?"

"Of course it's temporary." Diya said: "Just like the four sisters take turns to work, we four sisters can also take turns to be your girlfriends. They will not be willing to give up until you confirm that the only one you really like is me."

Diya pressed the mute button on the computer as she spoke, as if she didn't see the angry expressions of the sisters in the video conference who wanted to rush out of the screen and beat her up. She looked at Ash slightly nervously, "I'm sorry for lying to you for so long. Will you hate me?"

"Of course I don't hate it, I'm just a little surprised." Ya Xiu scratched his head: "For one salary to hire four people, I don't even know if the company is losing or making a profit..."

"Then..." Diya's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she mustered up the courage to look up at Ash: "What do you think of our four sisters?"

The reason why Diya insists on exposing the secrets of her four sisters is of course not because she wants to compete with her sisters for men, but because she wants to use her numerical advantage to defeat Asher's defense.

This is an extremely rare opportunity to have four girlfriends openly and honestly, and they are four sisters with different styles and the same appearance. Di Ya doesn’t believe that Ash is not attracted to her!

"Very good." Ya Xiu smiled and said: "You can complete any job I give you beautifully. One of my greatest achievements in the past three years is to recruit you, or you four sisters, into our company. But you should have told me earlier. I don’t run the company. Although it’s impossible to give you four salaries, two salaries should still be fine.”

"Really? That's great!" When Yaxiu heard the salary increase, he hugged Ash and jumped up and down in excitement. Just when Ash thought he had successfully managed to get through, he found a pair of hands tightly hugging him. waist.

"But that's not what I'm asking." Diya buried her head on Ash's back, and her soft voice contained a girl's stubbornness: "I might not understand you if you are too euphemistic."

"Even if it's not the answer you were expecting?"

"Even if it's not the answer I'm expecting!"

Ash scratched his head and turned to look at Diya.

In fact, Diya is one year older than Sonia, Felix, and Freya, but Ash always feels that she is still a child who has not grown up, with her coquettish, willful, naive and romantic nature, and the clear stupidity in her eyes.

Mature social people like Freya, Annan, Tamashi and Vichy would not ask this question. Only Diya would never give up and pray for a miracle like a crying child.

"Feel sorry."

Diya's body trembled slightly, but she still stared at Ya Xiu, her eyes filled with water mist, her vision quickly blurred, and became tearful. Ash wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I like you too."

ah?

Diya was stunned, quickly rubbed her eyes and grabbed his sleeves: "What did you just say?"

"I like you too."

"Say it again."

"Well, maybe I don't like you." Ashus muttered, "Maybe I like you four sisters."

"No!" Di Ya said angrily: "Go back to the previous sentence!"

"late."

"Then why are you apologizing?"

"Because..." Ash kissed her cheek lightly and rubbed her head: "That's all I can respond to you."

Diya was stunned, stupidly watching Yaxiu leave with the gift in his hands, and finally sat down on the chair softly, lying on the table with his head in his arms.

She still had a lot to say, and she could also catch up to Asher now and pursue the question like a child just now...but she didn't.

Ash's kiss was like a gentle curse, and a bad feeling between fatigue and pain spread throughout Diya's body. She just wanted to hide in the dark world, or go home and cover herself with a quilt and huddle up.

Perhaps it was because she realized that if she continued to ask questions, even this tenderness might not be preserved. There are not so many things that come to one's heart in this world, and she is no longer a child.

"As expected, you also failed."

Diya raised her head and saw Weisel come in and sit opposite her, holding her chin and looking at her with a smile. She took out a tissue and wiped her nose, then asked angrily: "What are you doing here?"

"I want to discuss some details with you at tomorrow's project meeting." Weisel smiled and said, "I didn't expect to accidentally hear someone confessing."

"Who confessed! I didn't confess, I just sent chocolates."

"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Ash." Weisel smiled and said, "He confessed to you, are you happy?"

Diya couldn't bear it anymore. She sobbed and lay on the table, hugging her head and crying: "Why, why does he like me but refuse to accept me? Why can so many people on the street who don't like me get together? Why do the two of us get together?" People who like each other can’t!”

"Because you are not the only person he likes." Weisel said calmly: "So his marriage partner will only be me."

Diya stopped crying and looked at her blankly. Many questions immediately popped up in her mind: Isn't it just me that Ya Xiu likes? Who else does he like? How can he like me and also like someone else? Why is Weisel so confident...

"Just as compensation for eavesdropping on you just now, you can also go over and eavesdrop on how I took down Ash." Weisel smiled charmingly and left Diya's office on high-heeled boots.

Diya sniffed, wiped her face and hurried over. When she arrived outside Ash's office, she found that everyone was there - Sonia, Wei Xi, An Nan, Felix, Tamashi, Freya, Xi Fulin, when they saw Diya coming over, they took the initiative to give up a good position to eavesdrop.

"Why are you all here?"

"It was Visser who told us she was coming to take down Ash now."

"Not only killing people, but also killing people's hearts."

"She deliberately waited until we all confessed her feelings before completing the game as a winner."

"Damn it, is she so sure that Ash won't accept us!?"

"I don't believe Ash will accept her!"

"Ah?" Sonia asked in surprise: "Have you all confessed your love to Ash?"

Everyone blinked, but before they could answer, the sound in the office attracted everyone's attention.

"...There are only these five small issues that need to be paid attention to. Just organize the event according to this plan. Don't ask me about the details. Just make your decision."

"Okay." Visser put away the documents and took out a beautifully wrapped gift: "Happy Valentine's Day."

"Thank you." Ash scratched his head: "I feel like I won't be able to finish the chocolates I received today in the next month."

"It means that many people like you." Weisel held up her cheeks and asked with a smile: "So have you chosen your marriage partner? Or there are too many choices, and you can't decide at the same time. Do you think this one is better than that one? Yes, I’m not willing to give up a forest for a tree.”

"Don't make me sound like a playboy." Ya Xiu said with a grimace: "I have to work overtime tonight, and I don't even have time to play games, let alone fall in love..."

"Then what do you think of me?" Weisel crossed her legs and asked leisurely.

"Ah?" Ya Xiu glanced at her, then turned his eyes back to the screen, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't make fun of me, I'm still at work..."

"I know you like them." Weisel blinked: "I don't mind if you cheat."

Ash was stunned, as if he was doubting his hearing: "Huh?"

"I like you, but I like myself more." Weisel Youyou said: "I am the kind of character who pays great attention to private space. I don't like close relationships, but I yearn for love."

"To put it simply, I want to satisfy my emotional needs once a week, and then for the next six days I just want to be alone. When I get home from get off work, I just want to read a book quietly." She spread her hands: "That's how troublesome I am. woman."

"Are you looking for a marriage partner or a lover..." Ya Xiu complained.

"Originally I wanted to wait until you got married before I could be your lover, but now it seems that marrying you is okay." Weisel said with a smile.

Freya frowned outside, feeling as if the shortcut she had found had been taken away.

"Originally, according to my personality, there is no other possibility besides being someone else's lover. No one can accept that his wife is unwilling to be intimate six days a week." Visser said: "Especially you - you always You seem to have a very clingy personality, and it feels great to be in love with you, but I think you won’t be able to stay alone when I think about it, and then either I will hate you or you will resent me.”

"Unless... you like more than just me."

She winked at Ash: "As long as you hand in your homework on time every week, I can accept you having other lovers. As long as you can find them, I don't mind how many lovers you have, how about it?"

"Wait a minute," Ash held his forehead: "Your thoughts are too avant-garde. It seems a bit too early for people in the 21st century..."

"If you marry anyone else, the other party will not be willing to accept you having a lover outside. Even if you agree at first, you will lose your temper later. Only people like me who are physically unable to establish a normal intimate relationship will need it. Don’t just like me.”

"So, I should be your perfect marriage partner." Weisel tilted her head and looked at him: "After all, you like more than one person."

No wonder Weisel is so confident!

People outside the office suddenly realized and secretly cursed Weisel for being shamelessly involved. Even the most unrestrained Diya only allowed Yaxiu to fall in love with the four sisters first and then 'choose one of the four'. Who would have expected that Weisel would actually allow Yaxiu to openly open the harem!

Now it's like everyone is bidding for a certain project together. The most they can do is keep profits to a minimum or give some kickbacks. How can Weiser lose all his wealth and still bid.

There should be explicit legislation prohibiting this behavior, it’s so illegal!

"How can it still be like this..." An Nan bit his nails and said helplessly: "We lost this time."

"Actually, I can do that too." Freya lowered her voice and pulled Shifflin's hand, and said with a frustrated look on her face: "I can also accept Ash's cheating. If I had known that I would tell Ash like this, what could I have done? Become his legal wife."

Shiffrin was speechless. Although she asked Freya to intervene in Ash's love life as a third party, in the final analysis, she still helped Freya capture Ash's heart and achieve the goal of monopolizing Ash in a roundabout way. In the end, the mistress becomes the main palace, and Freya does not really want to be the third party for the rest of her life.

If other competitors want to establish a normal love relationship with Ash, Freya's "third party route" can of course destroy Ash's marriage and take him in as a dog... But who would have thought that anyone would be willing to do so? Accept Ash's cheating!

"This couple of bitches..." Wei Xi gritted his teeth.

"All men are like this." Felix said in a tone that looked at the world, "None of them are good."

"Ash..." Tamashi whispered softly.

"Will not."

Sonia suddenly said: "He will not accept Weisel for this reason."

Everyone looked at Sonia in surprise. At this moment, the office door suddenly opened, and Weisel appeared in front of them, with an expression neither sad nor happy.

Everyone immediately pretended to be nonchalant and turned around to leave, but Weisel shouted at this time: "Sonia."

"Um?"

"Ash calls you in."

"No need." Ashus walked out and saw them all there, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Why are you gathering in front of my office?"

"Passing by."

"I was passing by too."

"It's really just passing by."

"It's a coincidence that you guys passed by my office at the corner of the floor together." Ash curled his lips and turned to look at Sonia: "Sonia, do you have any work this afternoon?"

"Yes." Sonia immediately replied, "I'm going to talk to the people from project team three this afternoon -"

"Postpone it, you go out with me now," Ya Xiu raised his head and strode past them, walked to the elevator door and greeted: "Follow me quickly, why are you still hanging around."

"Oh!" Sonia responded, then suddenly turned around and ran back to her office: "Wait, I'll go back and get my bag!"

Everyone just watched the two of them leave, and then focused their attention on Weisel.

"Ash promised you?" Wei Xi asked.

"Do you only pay attention to such vulgar things?" Weisel glanced at her expressionlessly, "I really envy you."

After saying that, Weisel turned and left, and the others quickly held Weissie down to stop her from going crazy. At this time, Weisel stopped and added:

"When the two of them come back, there will be big news announced."
