Xiao Yufan knew all along that everything had been part of Yu Han’s plan, but what could he do about it now? Was he supposed to just beat Yu Han up?
Rather than indulging in fantasies, Xiao Yufan realized it was better to figure out how to face the situation. Since he had already agreed, he had no choice but to solve this problem, even if it might be a bit difficult.
Ma Teng worked at that company. If he could help Xiao Yufan, things would become much simpler, as only insiders would know some hidden details.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. At this point, Xiao Yufan didn’t even fully understand the situation, so it was clearly impossible for him to directly discuss the contract. He needed to learn more.
With no other options, he didn’t return to his rented apartment but instead headed straight to Ma Teng’s new home after saying goodbye to Lin Pingle. Even if Ma Teng couldn’t help much, he could at least offer some advice, so Xiao Yufan wouldn’t fail to complete the contract and end up embarrassed in front of many people.
“Newlyweds, I wonder how good it feels…” Arriving at their new home and seeing the glowing expressions on Ma Teng and Mu Qing’s faces, Xiao Yufan teased. They were both his closest friends, so he spoke freely without holding back.
“Can’t you tell?” Ma Teng warmly welcomed Xiao Yufan inside, his face displaying a knowing smile shared only between the two, while Mu Qing simply smiled without speaking. How could she not know what they were talking about?
“Didn’t you have an interview today? How come you have time to visit us?” Mu Qing took over the conversation. She knew Xiao Yufan wouldn’t come here at this hour just to mooch off them—he must have something on his mind.
“Let’s not talk about it. Although I passed the interview today, the interviewer gave me a tough problem. I have to solve it if I want to stay at the company!” Xiao Yufan explained honestly, though he didn’t go into specific details. Otherwise, the two would surely laugh at him. After all, he was completely under Yu Han’s thumb, which frustrated him greatly.
“A tough problem? Do you need help?”
“I don’t need your help. I just came here to watch you two show off your affection!” Xiao Yufan replied grumpily, handing the contract to Ma Teng.
“An eight-million contract? They just handed this over to you? Don’t tell me the interviewer had water in his brain…” After skimming through the contract, Ma Teng looked at Xiao Yufan as if he were some kind of freak. An eight-million contract was simply unbelievable.
“He definitely had water in his brain!” Xiao Yufan muttered before continuing, “Can you help me out? I’ve never dealt with your company before, so I really don’t know how to complete this unfinished contract…”
“I’ve taken a two-week honeymoon leave, and I’m not up to date with many company matters. However, there might be someone who can help you…” Ma Teng hesitated for a moment before speaking. Since he was on leave, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to get involved in company affairs.
“Who?”
“Do you still remember that beautiful girl whose grave site you helped check out a few days ago? I think she can definitely help you…”
“Hu Yingluo? It seems like we haven’t been in touch since that last time. How could I possibly bother her again?”
“If you’re too shy to ask, then I’ll do it for you. No contact doesn’t mean our beautiful girl doesn’t think about you—she might even be hoping you owe her a favor…” Ma Teng raised his eyebrows suggestively, his expression as lewd as ever.
Xiao Yufan was momentarily speechless. However, having Ma Teng ask on his behalf wasn’t a bad idea. If he suddenly approached her for help himself, it might seem awkward, especially since they had only met twice and weren’t that close.
…
Watching Ma Teng dial the phone, Xiao Yufan quickly perked up his ears. It was clear that Ma Teng had a good relationship with Hu Yingluo, but obviously, he was quite restrained in front of her, which puzzled Xiao Yufan—could they really just be coworkers?
A few minutes later, Ma Teng finally hung up the phone and gave Xiao Yufan a look that said everything was settled. He believed that as long as Hu Yingluo was willing to help, nothing would be a problem.
Only then did Xiao Yufan heavily sink into the sofa. This time, he was truly out of options. He had done all this hard work for nothing, and he had no idea what else Yu Han would make him endure once he finished everything.
