Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 940 - 939: What Does

That day at the Shui Laili, after Chu Shiyao asked Chu Ge to accompany her back to Beijing as her boyfriend, she regretted it. Although Chu Ge didn't say anything, she always felt he was probably angry.At first, Chu Shiyao felt a bit wronged, but after carefully considering it from his perspective, she realized she really had no reason to feel that way.

What she did was indeed not right. The couple was already in conflict, and it was a conflict caused by her. Mentioning this to Chu Ge at this moment, it was generous enough that he didn't scold her on the spot.

Perhaps her current thoughts were not entirely kind-hearted, but knowing that Tianqing Company was in trouble made her genuinely happy because it meant she finally had a chance to make amends for her mistakes and could help Chu Ge with something.

Of course, Chu Shiyao was also very aware that she couldn't do anything by herself, but... wasn't Chu Chengrui still behind her?

She could totally ask Chu Chengrui for help, and at the same time see Chu Chengrui's power and the importance he placed on her. Additionally, compensating Chu Ge was like killing several birds with one stone.

Deciding to act on her thoughts, that same night while having dinner at the villa, Chu Shiyao brought up the matter with Chu Chengrui at the dining table. Chu Chengrui hesitated a bit and said this matter wasn't easy to handle, but he would still try to help.

Chu Shiyao hoped that Chu Chengrui would handle it immediately, but since he said that, she didn't push further and decided to wait and see.

Another morning arrived, the sky was a clear blue washed anew, a radiant sun hung high.

The weather was nice, but Chu Ge's mood wasn't in a good place early that morning.

Just as he arrived at Tianqing Company, the people from the fire department came soon after, acting like they practically owned the place.

Each one of them acted like a lord, finding faults here and there, demanding immediate rectifications in the name of fire safety. They even threatened that if Tianqing Company didn't proactively cooperate and meet fire safety standards by tomorrow, they would order the company to cease operations for a complete overhaul.

These matters had already agitated the company employees over the past few days, and their mood and work state worsened after these people showed up.

Amidst this awful atmosphere, alone in the top-floor president's office, Chu Ge received a phone call that left him utterly bewildered.

The call was from Xu Zhen from the HR department, saying he was to interview someone. More precisely, an interviewee insisted on having the president of Tianqing Company conduct the interview.

Hearing this, Chu Ge was amused. He was already very upset, and now someone wanted to add to his chaos? Xu Zhen too, why not outright refuse such a ridiculous request? Yet he still called to ask permission?

"Xu Zhen, let me ask you a question, do you think... I should meet this interviewee?"

"To be honest... I think you should. This interviewee gives off an impression that's so... I can't describe it, you'll know when you see."

Chu Ge rolled his eyes dramatically. His earlier question to Xu Zhen was more sarcasm than anything, and Xu Zhen actually gave a definite answer back. His tone was a bit silly too, as if he was startled by something.

Chu Ge, feeling helpless, asked another question, "Is it a man or a woman? Do they know me?"

"Well... You should see for yourself." Chu Ge wanted to ask more, but Xu Zhen had already hung up.

Chu Ge rubbed his forehead. What a mess; could it be a friend joking with him?

Forget it, thinking wouldn't help. He'll just make the trip and hope this person has a reasonable explanation.

Leaving the presidential office, Chu Ge went down to the HR department, where he found a large group of people standing at the entrance of the interview room, some looking puzzled, others wide-eyed.

What was going on?

Chu Ge scratched his head, moved past the crowd, and directly entered the interview room. When he opened the door, he saw Xu Zhen first.

This guy was sitting in the associate interviewer's seat, with his palms down on his thighs, back straight, but his eyelids drooped, not looking ahead. It was clear his whole body was tense, obviously in a state of nervousness and unease.

Chu Ge was initially quite annoyed, but seeing Xu Zhen like this almost made him laugh. Right now, how could he look like an interviewer? He seemed more like a nervous job seeker on his first company interview, with poor communication skills and low mental resilience.

Looking over to the opposite side of Xu Zhen, Chu Ge was suddenly stunned. He was just inwardly mocking Xu Zhen, but now his own expression was no better, completely dumbfounded on the spot.

"Hello, Mr. President, I'm truly sorry to have you personally come to interview me."

With a voice as heavenly as this, the woman within Chu Ge's sight turned her head and gave him a gentle smile. The saying "a smile that captivates a hundred emotions" was no exaggeration.

Beautiful, too beautiful. So beautiful that any language used to describe it seemed pale. If one had to describe it, perhaps it would be like what the ancients said.

Add one part, it's too long; subtract one part, it's too short; apply powder, it's too white; apply rouge, it's too red; brows like emerald feathers, skin like white snow; waist like a wrapped silk, teeth like hidden pearls; a charming smile that beguiles Yangcheng and captivates Xiacia.

"He..." Chu Ge was stunned for a full four or five seconds before coming back to his senses, subconsciously muttering a single word before turning his head to the assistant interviewer's position to look at Xu Zhen, "Xu Zhen, you go out for a bit."

"Okay." Xu Zhen responded, looking both relieved and regretful, with an indescribable expression.

No way around it, that woman was too beautiful, and not just beautiful, but she also exuded a certain aura that was unintentionally captivating, gentle like water yet impossible to look at directly. This feeling was contradictory, but it was Xu Zhen's most genuine sensation.

It was as if scrutinizing this woman would be a form of desecration, and in front of her, he felt inadequate.

Only after Xu Zhen left the interview room with his remarkable expression and closed the door did Chu Ge stride quickly toward the smiling woman.

"He Qing? Why are you back?" Chu Ge was both surprised and delighted, having not been able to get in touch with He Qing for such a long time, he, as a friend, had been quite worried.

He Qing tilted her head slightly and teased, "What? Am I not welcome here?"

"Don't be ridiculous!" Chu Ge pulled a chair opposite He Qing and plopped down, rolling his eyes at her, "Who am I not supposed to welcome, if not you? You ask the obvious, don't you?"

"How is it asking the obvious?" He Qing raised her right index finger and shook it gently, her smile imbued with a faint hint of unnoticeable sadness, "The He Family now is not the He Family of the past, and I am not the me of the past."

Chu Ge gave a bigger roll of the eyes, "Get lost."

He Qing was taken aback, "What... did you say?"

"Uh..." Chu Ge scratched his head awkwardly, having said it without thinking, only then realizing it might not have been appropriate, "I said, uh-huh, I said with our relationship, this kind of talk is pointless."

As soon as Chu Ge finished speaking, He Qing immediately said, "Get lost."

This time, it was Chu Ge's turn to be stunned; it was the first time he had heard He Qing say such words, just like it was the first time He Qing had heard someone say those three words to her.

As Chu Ge felt embarrassed, He Qing continued, "Could you explain what those three words mean to me?"

Chu Ge chuckled, "It basically means stop fooling around, enough, that's enough, quit the nonsense, something like that. Only people with an exceptionally close relationship can use it this way."

"Then, is 'get' a verb here? Is 'lost' a noun, or a mood particle? Do these three words have to be together to apply in this context? Is it an imperative sentence? Are there other variations?"

Observing He Qing's eagerness to learn, Chu Ge first helplessly smacked his forehead with a "pop," then couldn't help but laugh, then He Qing laughed too, and soon both of them were laughing uproariously.

It had been a long time since He Qing laughed so heartily; she never imagined being so happy over a foul word, yet it boiled down to Chu Ge's explanation.

"Only people with an exceptionally close relationship can use it."

This said it all, whether she was rich or poor, riding high or down and out, in Chu Ge's eyes, she remained the same, no different.

Though the three words themselves might not seem inherently funny, the two continued to laugh and laugh until they couldn't straighten their waists, and their bright laughter was filled with the joy uniquely flavored by a long-awaited reunion.

As their laughter filled the interview room, suddenly there was a flurry of noise outside, and the door was abruptly pushed open with a "bang," as several swaggering men barged in.

"Fire safety inspe..."

The leader, a guy with a high nose and wide mouth who seemed like a little boss, started yelling as soon as he stepped in, but before he could finish the word "inspection," he was dumbfounded, staring at He Qing in awe.

He had never seen a woman so stunning and charismatic in his life, a kind of indescribable visual impact.

"Is it a fire safety inspection?"

Suddenly interrupted, He Qing's good mood was significantly impacted, and the smile vanished from her face as she turned her head to ask rather politely but coolly.

"Ah, yes." The little boss instinctively nodded.

He Qing continued calmly, "But we're in the middle of an interview, could you wait a bit and come back later?"

The little boss was about to nod instinctively when he suddenly realized, damn, why am I listening to her?
