Chapter 15: Sexy Butt Cheeks
To avoid blind dates, Li Ge went to Nancheng and actually invested in a project.
This made his grandmother in Jiangcheng anxious. She earnestly advised her grandson not to only focus on his career but also to pursue love, achieving both.
Unfortunately, the only things Li Ge could grasp with both hands simultaneously were butt cheeks.
He couldn’t handle it anymore and simply shifted the mission of carrying on the family line to his cousin, Li Huan, earnestly advising his grandmother, “Grandma, I just want to focus on my career now. Why don’t you ask Xiao Huan? Doesn’t he have a girlfriend? You can urge him, maybe he can give you a great-grandson next year.”
His other precious grandson was still in college. His grandmother became excited. Li Ge had no choice but to appease her with sweet talk.
The casual joke he made was somehow spread abroad. His cousin called him from overseas to settle the score, “Brother, you’re so mean, do you want me to come out for you?”
Li Ge was startled and asked his cousin, “How did you know?”
Li Huan chuckled, saying deliberately, “Oh, it’s nothing, I attended a gathering a while ago and happened to meet someone who knew about your streaking incident back then.”
Li Ge: “…”
Li Huan: “Why don’t you remove the mole on your butt? I’m really afraid Grandma will faint if she sees that entertainment news one day.”
Li Ge: “It was just a joke, do you have to be like this?”
Li Huan: “Brother, your butt is quite sexy.”
Li Ge: “…Fuck, how dare you talk to your brother like that? Do you believe I’ll fly over there and beat you up?”
Li Huan: “Just kidding, don’t mind it.”
His dark history was brought up by his cousin He Yan last time, and now by his disrespectful younger cousin. Thinking about how many people had seen his butt back then, Li Ge wanted to drag the paparazzi who ruined his image and reputation out and beat them up.
Although keeping lovers wasn’t a secret in the Beicheng circle, Li Ge kept it tightly under wraps in Jiangcheng, maintaining a certain facade. He would bring female companions to important business events and had even found women to act as his girlfriends. To the outside world, he was bisexual.
Early last year, he was even rumored to be dating a C-list actress, which prompted Ms. Min to rush to Beicheng and firmly oppose her son being with someone from the entertainment industry.
This “relationship” ended without a hitch. Li Ge got drunk that night and used the excuse of being “heartbroken” to deceive everyone until now. As a result, his grandmother and mother were afraid he couldn’t get over it and started arranging blind dates for him.
Li Ge was fed up and forced himself to focus on his career. Being busy, he didn’t have time to think about anything else.
Yu Rui, who was temporarily sent to Nancheng on a business trip, suffered. It turned out that Mr. Li really did have a project in Nancheng, a substantial investment, making him want to fight these rich people!
Back in his luxurious apartment in Beicheng, Li Ge was relaxing in the bath when he suddenly felt empty. He calculated that he hadn’t had sex for a month.
So, he thought of a certain handsome little assistant.
The phone kept ringing. Chen Shuo was hesitant to answer Li Ge’s call.
A few days ago, Yu Rui, on a business trip to Nancheng, had complained to him that Li Ge was investing in a film and television shooting base in Nancheng, pouring in a lot of money. Yu Rui hadn’t heard of this project before and was so angry that he couldn’t sleep, missing out on the opportunity to profit.
Li Ge’s investment projects had nothing to do with him. Chen Shuo didn’t want to answer, but he had already ignored two calls. Ignoring it again would be too obvious, he couldn’t avoid it forever.
Just before the ringtone was about to end automatically, Chen Shuo answered.
“Hello, Mr. Li.”
Thinking that the little assistant would keep avoiding him, Li Ge hadn’t heard this robotic greeting for a long time and found it unbelievable. How could someone greet him like this every time?
As the saying goes, familiarity breeds fondness. Anyone else would have tried to flatter him by now. But this Assistant Chen, from who knows where, was like a factory reset, without any human touch.
A person should have a human reaction. Li Ge didn’t believe it and deliberately teased Chen Shuo, “How did you know it was me?”
Chen Shuo paused. If he said they had contacted each other before the New Year and he had his business card, Li Ge might seize the opportunity to criticize him for not answering the previous two calls.
Perhaps that was why Li Ge was calling.
“I have your business card, we contacted each other before the New Year.” Chen Shuo put on his slippers and entered the apartment, trying to control the topic, “Mr. Li, is there anything I can help you with?”
Li Ge feigned surprise, “Oh, so you have my business card. I thought I was being treated as a spam caller, you didn’t dare to answer after two calls.”
Chen Shuo: “…” He really was here to criticize him.
“So, why didn’t you answer?” Li Ge asked.
“Sorry, Mr. Li,” Chen Shuo walked to the fish tank, looking at the swimming fish, and explained, “I was working at the time, and my phone was on silent.”
“Really? What work was so important that you had to put your phone on silent?” Li Ge asked again.
Chen Shuo: “Work assigned by CEO He.”
Li Ge: “What work?”
Chen Shuo: “Sorry, Mr. Li.”
Li Ge: “A trade secret, not convenient to disclose?”
Chen Shuo: “Yes, I hope you understand.”
Li Ge chuckled and continued to ask, “Then why didn’t you call me back after you finished work?”
The frivolous chuckle reached Chen Shuo’s ears, sounding particularly jarring in his quiet apartment, making him uncomfortable, wanting to hang up and block the number immediately.
He finally couldn’t bear it anymore, but still asked respectfully, “Mr. Li, is there anything I can help you with? I still have work to do, I hope you understand.”
Li Ge was impatient and didn’t like beating around the bush. He had only one purpose for this call, to call the little assistant over to his house for some fun.
But hearing that robotic greeting, he found it strange and couldn’t help but tease him, to see if the little assistant was actually born or made of metal.
After going around in circles, he still couldn’t figure it out.
“I do have something.” Li Ge stopped beating around the bush, “You know where I live, right? Come over now.”
Chen Shuo was briefly silent, then quickly replied, “Sorry, Mr. Li.”
“…” Li Ge almost cursed, figuring that even if he did scold the little assistant, he would only get a “Sorry, Mr. Li” in response, making his ears callous.
Swallowing his curse, he asked, “Why do you think I asked you to come over?”
Chen Shuo: “Sorry, Mr. Li, I don’t know.”
“You’re fucking… amazing.” Li Ge laughed, “Are you even human?”
Chen Shuo tightened his grip on the phone, his knuckles turning white from the force, the veins bulging on his already fair skin, adding to his coldness. He took a slow breath and then said, “Mr. Li, I’m off work.”
“There’s overtime after work.” Li Ge, enjoying the teasing, made up an excuse, “I have a document here that needs to be delivered to your CEO He, come and get it.”
Faced with Li Ge’s persistence, Chen Shuo couldn’t immediately think of how to respond. If Li Ge had explicitly stated his intentions, he could have refused decisively. The problem was that the other party hadn’t said anything too outrageous, only asking him to come over to pick up a document.
Seeing the robot freeze, Li Ge felt inexplicably happy and said with a smile, “How about this, I’ll pay you overtime, name your price.”
As Chen Shuo was choosing his words carefully, another call came in. He moved his phone away and saw that it was He Yan, like a savior, belatedly realizing that this was what he should have done earlier.
“Sorry, Mr. Li, CEO He’s calling, goodbye.”
“???” Before Li Ge could speak, the call was cut off.
Chen Shuo quickly called He Yan back and received his orders: starting tomorrow, he would be responsible for picking up and dropping off Yuan Feng for work.
There was no harm in comparison. Compared to the difficult playboy, his boss’s talkative and clingy little lover was much more comfortable to deal with.
Arriving at Jinxi Bay early the next morning, Chen Shuo took back this thought. When Yuan Feng ignored his sponsor and greeted him, the assistant, instead, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, afraid of being fired, even suspecting that Yuan Feng was doing it on purpose.
“…Mr. Yuan, good morning.” Chen Shuo had to respond politely.
Yuan Feng pulled out a chair and sat down, starting to eat breakfast.
He Yan glanced at his little lover and asked Yuan Feng, “Are you working on reports tonight? Think carefully before answering.”
Yuan Feng paused for a moment and said, “I’m not working overtime today.”
The little lover had disobeyed and run back to his rented apartment. He Yan had tamed him last night and instructed, “Have Chen Shuo pick you up, bring all your things over.”
Yuan Feng listlessly replied with an “oh.”
With five years of experience as an assistant, Chen Shuo understood his boss. He Yan wouldn’t show his emotions on his face. Him not saying anything now didn’t mean he wasn’t thinking anything.
After going downstairs with Yuan Feng, he reminded him, “Mr. Yuan, please don’t do that in front of CEO He in the future.”
“Do what?” Yuan Feng asked.
“Ignoring CEO He’s presence and greeting me.”
Chen Shuo had the duty to discipline the little lover, but Yuan Feng didn’t listen at all, even telling him righteously that he was indeed ignoring He Yan, then asking if he looked haggard.
He helplessly replied, “Indeed.”
“My head is also dizzy, I probably can’t even work properly.” Yuan Feng complained to Chen Shuo, “He tormented me all night, I get angry just looking at him! Can you give a good face to someone who makes you angry? I didn’t even scold him, which is already good!”
“…” Chen Shuo couldn’t retort because he thought of the Mr. Li who made him angry last night.
He was indeed very angry and didn’t want to give him any good face.
After dropping him off at the canteen near the metal materials company, Chen Shuo heard Yuan Feng complaining again, angry that He Yan went on a business trip for more than half a month without coming back to accompany him earlier, without even a single phone call.
He really wanted to remind Yuan Feng that if that was the case, he should have greeted He Yan this morning instead of throwing a tantrum. But he was just an assistant, he didn’t have the right to remind him. All of CEO He’s previous lovers ended up the same way; investing too much wasn’t a good thing.
“If he’s not working overtime in the future, can you tell me in advance? If it’s not convenient, it’s okay, I’ll wait for him at home.”
Seeing Yuan Feng’s sad expression, Chen Shuo remained indifferent, “It’s really not convenient, sorry.”
Yuan Feng cursed in his heart, wasting his breath trying to get close.
Seeing Yuan Feng looking dejected again, Chen Shuo kindly added, “Have a good day at work.”
“…” Good my ass, Yuan Feng turned and left.
His work was done for now, but Chen Shuo couldn’t go back to the gym yet. He had to go to the company and apologize to his boss for the small incident with Yuan Feng this morning. Just then, his phone dinged with a new message from last night’s unknown number.
“Come to my company.”
A short and seemingly serious sentence, but Chen Shuo instantly sensed Li Ge’s presence, the frivolousness and superiority overflowing from the screen.
He was really asking for a beating.
