Nine true and nine false

  Nine true and nine false

  "What landlord and tenant, you still want to cheat me. You are obviously Xiao Jia's boyfriend! I've even seen your photos together!"

  "What?!" Ling Jie's revelation shocked me, leaving me speechless. I suddenly recalled the photo from last night, and indeed, "I" was standing intimately with Zhu Pei Jia on the sunny beach, her long skirt fluttering in the sea breeze.

  "Ling Jie!" Zhu Pei Jia was obviously anxious, it was the first time I saw her looking so flustered, her small face flushed red, both hands tightly grasping a corner of her clothes.

  Then Zhu Peijia made a stunning move. She took three steps forward to Lings sister's face. I thought she was finally furious and wanted to beat up Lings sister, I thought this is a matter of life and death, I'd better stop her. Unexpectedly, she pulled Lings sister's hand and quickly walked into her own room.

  The door slammed shut with a "bang". I was left alone in the living room, facing the cold breakfast that had lost its warmth.

  Up to this point, I have no doubt that Zhu Peijia must be hiding something from me. And this matter must have a great connection with me. I even began to suspect that everything we experienced since the day I met Zhu Peijia was her careful arrangement. But could a beauty carefully design a "trap" just to make me live with her?! This is also too unreasonable. If there really is such a "trap", I would rather step on it seventeen or eighteen times a day, just to show my true self as a "good man".

  Two women were whispering in the room for a while, I don't know what they were talking about. I tried to stick my ear tightly on the door, trying to hear some clues. But the soundproof effect of this door was too good, and I got nothing. If I had known that this house had such a good soundproof effect, I wouldn't have been so worried about Zhu Peijia when I was doing single-handed exercises at night and suppressed it desperately.

  It wasn't until about an hour later that Zhu Peijia and Ling Jie walked out of the inner room with a smile.

  It was almost noon, Zhu Peijia originally wanted to invite Ling Jie to have lunch together, but Ling Jie pushed it off saying she had something to do and stood up to bid farewell.

  Ling Jie smiled and said to me when she left: "You must take good care of our little Jia, don't bully her."

  "He wouldn't dare!" Zhu Peijia glared at me and said proudly.

  After Ling Jie left, I was restless and couldn't sit still.

  I now have a lot of questions that need Zhu Peijia's answer.

  While eating, Zhu Peijia noticed that I was distracted. Just as I was thinking about how to ask her something, Zhu Peijia spoke up first.

  "Lin Ruo, I know you have a lot of questions right now. But I'm really sorry, I can't say anything. At least not for now. I hope you can understand my difficulties. If you still don't believe me, then I can move out immediately, Ling Jie can help me find a temporary place to stay."

  I didn't expect Zhu Peijia would take the lead and turn the conversation into a dead end. Since she has already said so, what else can I say?

  "Don't worry, I don't have any doubts anymore. You can just stay here and be at ease." I gave Zhu Pei Jia a very sincere smile, believing that this would definitely give her a sense of security, after all, I was truly hoping she could stay.

  Zhu Peijia looked at me and suddenly said: "Lin Luo, thank you..."

  I couldn't help but blush a little, but my thick skin has been tempered since childhood. "Just saying thank you is not enough, we have to do something real!" As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Pei Jia with his spare light.

  "What do you want?" Zhu Peijia asked me with interest.

  This is a bit difficult for me, what do I want?

  "I haven't thought of it yet, just consider it a debt you owe me. When I think of it, you'll have to pay up."

  Zhu Peijia listened and didn't make any indication. I thought she wouldn't agree and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

  Zhu Peijia got up, put away the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and walked towards the kitchen. As she passed by me, she suddenly bent down and lightly kissed my face!!! Whispering: "Is this enough?"

  I was stunned! By the time I came to my senses, Zhu Peijia had already walked into the kitchen. How come my reaction is still so slow?! I shouted at Zhu Peijia in the kitchen: "Not enough!"

  On Monday when I just arrived at the company, Shu Fei, Zhang Jie, Hu Cheng and others were gathered together discussing something. As soon as they saw me come in, they immediately pulled me over.

  "Kobayashi, have you heard? The company is going to promote you as the new director of the corporate planning department!"

  "What? Which rumor is this again?" I thought to myself, I'm just an ordinary employee in the planning department now, suddenly promoted to director, according to our company's hierarchy system, that's a three-level promotion. I reckon the credibility of this news isn't high.

  "Really, we heard what Xu Ke said. Don't know what kind of dog luck you've had." Xu Ke is the secretary of the general manager and has extremely high popularity in the company, one of the four great beauties of our company. Thinking back to those days, Shu Fei that kid was desperately pursuing her, but the result was just collecting another "good person card".

  "Alright, alright, don't mind whether it's true or not, let's focus on the work at hand first." Although I said that with my mouth, my heart still couldn't put it down, this promotion and treatment are rising sharply like a somersault.

  At this moment, Bo Fei's eyes lit up with a "beastly" glow. I was shocked - could it be that this kid was consumed by jealousy and wanted to rob me of my wealth and take my life?! I turned my head to look behind me, and found that Xu Ke had walked in. She told me that the general manager wanted to see me.

  The general manager talked to me for a long time, and most of the topics were about the company's development issues. I also expressed many of my own views. Finally, the general manager said: "You may have heard that the company is preparing to promote you as the director of the new company's marketing department."

  "Yes, I did hear it." I confessed honestly.

  "Hmm, actually, you've made a lot of achievements since joining the company and should have been promoted long ago. The delay is also due to reasons within the company."

  I felt a thrill of excitement in my heart, it seems this promotion is going to happen after all.

  "I can understand." I'm still quite formal when talking with leaders.

  "However, there's been a new development in this matter. Besides you, another person is also competing for the position and the decision-makers are considering it. Perhaps they will make a decision through some assessments. You'd better prepare yourself when you go back recently. Of course, don't worry too much, I still have high hopes for you."

  As I came out of the general manager's office, I kept thinking, and there was another competitor, who would that be? A colleague from the planning department? Or someone from another department?

  I thought about Bai Fei, Zhang Jie, Hu Cheng, Ma Ke and others in my heart, and I felt that it shouldn't be them. Could it be someone from another department?

  Forget it, what's the point! We'll meet again someday anyway.

  When I returned to the office, all the male colleagues cast strange glances at me, with an expression of envy on their faces.

  Come on, I just got a promotion, no need to be so envious, don't worry, I'll definitely treat you guys to dinner.

  I heard someone calling me from behind, turned around and saw a beautiful woman standing in front of me, dressed in Korean attire, exceptionally charming.

  This beauty is none other than Zhu Peijia, who lives with me every day.

  The method of collecting "good person" cards: When you are rejected by someone, and the reason for their rejection is that you're a good person, unfortunately... Congratulations, you've successfully collected one "good person" card!
