Chapter 8, Unintentionally (Part 2)

Xu Yizhong wanted to laugh, but every time he met Yao Yu, something happened: "For example?"

Xu Yizhong suddenly chuckled, wondering what was wrong with him. Had he been too idle lately with nothing to do? Why had his thoughts turned to these few girls? He shook his head and gave up on trying to analyze it.

Alright. Durex resumed its work status, turned around, and left the office to get to work.

The wine party at the hot spring resort and the interactions with several classmates of Du Lei in recent days have piqued Xu Yi Zhong's interest in aspects of Du Lei beyond her work

One is unkempt, while the other is exquisitely dressed. Yao Yu always has an expression of indifference, whereas Du Lei pays attention to details and is meticulous. The more Xu Yi compares the two, the greater the differences become.

Du Ruileng paused for a moment, thought for a while, and then slowly spoke: "She is very curious and playful; when she saw that Qianchen was being interviewed, she came along for the novelty. She might have even more questions than the reporter. Mr. Xu, didn't she ask anything today?"

Mr. Xu, we can discuss this with Editor Liu from the online network. If there are any issues, we can simply ban them directly, which is the easiest solution. Du Lei's response has made Xu Yizhong very satisfied. Journalists below cannot do anything about a top-down ban on news. Moreover, the radon hot springs at the hot spring resort are genuine, and the resort environment is first-class. This time, we can take advantage of the situation to create an advertisement.

After Director Li of the Planning Department introduced the situation, he raised some doubts regarding the terminology used in the proposal. Director Li then signaled for Du Lei, who was responsible for the copy, to provide an explanation. As a result, Du Lei clarified each of Xu Yizhong's doubts very clearly, explaining the careful consideration behind the word choices.

Of course, I just want to know if there are any other aspects. I am classmates with them, and we can still communicate. They are really not here to cause trouble

Among the four classmates, Du Lei is obviously the most beautiful one, a stunning beauty with both figure and looks. Shan Zi's wife, Chen Hui'an, embodies the gentle and demure type, while Tao Qianchen has the most beautiful eyes, clear and bright like a serene lake. As for Yao Yu, she can at most be described as delicate.

Xu Yizhong fell into deep thought. It is certain that Du Lei is more beautiful than Yao Yu. At that time, Jialin Group selected her from hundreds of applicants for the copywriting position. Du Lei's academic performance is also absolutely outstanding, as her records include various honors and scholarships. From the perspective of career progression, being an assistant to the vice president at a large company like Jialin Group is indeed more advantageous than Yao Yu's position as an ordinary planning copywriter at Datang. What could Du Lei possibly compete with Yao Yu for? A boyfriend?

Du Ruiling was taken aback; she found it strange that Yao Yu followed Qian Chen to the hot spring resort for an interview. After thinking for a long time, aside from Yao Yu's dissatisfaction at the banquet when she urged her to drink, she could not think of any other reason. When Xu Yi Zhong asked her this way, she found it difficult to respond, so she smiled and said, "There is no best."

He knows that there are two young men who are both good-looking and capable, yet for some reason, Du Lei has consistently refused. Many within the group have tried to play matchmaker, but Du Lei has never shown any agreement. At this age, girls like Du Lei are in the prime of their romantic lives. Why does the beautiful Du Lei not have a boyfriend or engage in a romantic relationship

Xu Yizhong chuckled and said: "She did ask, even inquiring about the dining prices in great detail. How is your relationship with Yao Yu?"

Xu Yizhong suddenly realized. Apart from this, there was nothing else. It is normal for girls to become rivals in love without any fondness for each other. He seemed to have found the reason why Du Lei did not engage in romantic relationships. He also found the reason why Yao Yu mocked Du Lei for having an affair with him

Du Lei instinctively opened her mouth and said: "Tao Qianchen has a very introverted personality; perhaps these past two years of being a reporter have helped her build some courage. She is not an unreasonable person, unless she is being instigated by Yao Yu. She is certainly not someone to be trifled with!" Du Lei was unaware of the events that had transpired between Xu Yizhong, Qianchen, and Yao Yu in recent days. Hearing Xu Yizhong say this, she felt that the likelihood of Yao Yu seeking trouble because of her was quite high. She couldn't help but let out a cold laugh in her heart.

Please have the planning department contact Editor Liu to turn the interview conducted by Tao Ji regarding the hot springs into a positive promotion for our hot spring resort. Before it is published, please bring the copy back for my review. If it is feasible, also get in touch with the newspaper to launch it together. Inform them that the advertising fee will be negotiated at the usual rate.

Upon returning to the company, Dure gave him a cup of tea: "I heard from Section Chief Wang that a reporter from News Online went to the villa for an interview? Tao Qianchen also brought an intern? The one named Yao Yu, they are both my classmates. If General Manager Xu takes me along, there might be some issues I could help with."

Xu Yizhong glanced curiously at Du Lei. Du Lei had been promoted to his assistant for less than half a year. Originally, she worked in the planning department of the group as a copywriter. At that time, when the hot spring resort was being built, he was extremely busy. His previous assistant was diligent, but there was always a sense of inefficiency.

He recalled the night at the hot spring resort when Tao Qianchen asked Yao Yu: "Dulei is much prettier than you, and her grades are better than yours. What exactly do you find unappealing about her? It seems nothing has ever happened in your room, right?" How did Yao Yu respond? He thought carefully and it seemed she said that Dulei was competing with her.

At that moment, Du Lei asked him in a seemingly indifferent tone about Tao Qianchen and Yao Yu, which made Xu Yizhong more vigilant. He frowned and said: "What about that Tao Qianchen from the online network? In retrospect, it does seem a bit like someone looking for trouble at the hot spring resort. And that Yao Yu, how did she end up as an intern reporter? She seems to be very picky, as if she is afraid of not finding any flaws at the hot spring resort."

After the meeting, he brought Du Lei in as his assistant. This caused quite a stir within the group. Even the chairman, his father, ambiguously asked him if he had taken a liking to Du Lei. Xu Yi responded nonchalantly: "Yes, I have taken a liking to her; she is quite capable. With such a beautiful assistant, how many fewer drinks can my son have!" His father laughed heartily.

Du Lei has not shown any faults in her work. Xu Yizhong directly supervises marketing and promotional planning within the group. Du Lei graduated from the Chinese Department of University C, possessing a strong foundation in Chinese and being well-versed in interpersonal communication, which has indeed saved him a lot of trouble. Moreover, over the past six months, Du Lei has very wisely maintained a distance from him, causing the rumors within the group to gradually dissipate, which is the aspect Xu Yizhong is most satisfied with

If Durex were to compete with Yao Yu for a boyfriend, why would that man give up Durex and choose Yao Yu instead? He is puzzled; if given the choice, he would probably choose Durex. Not for any other reason, but simply because having a beautiful girlfriend who can make others envious is more appealing than Yao Yu's unkempt appearance. Moreover, Durex is talented and is not merely a pretty face.

Oh? Is that person named Yao Yu really that impressive? Xu Yizhong's curiosity was piqued

I believe there should be no issues, as our hot spring has been inspected by national geological experts

Xu Yizhong opened the document on his computer and reviewed the information about Dure. He recalled that day when Qiangde Hotpot Qianchen asked him if Yao Yu's parents had come from City B. Dure's hometown is also in City B. Being from the same city, it stands to reason that they should feel closer as fellow townsfolk attending the same university, yet the two of them never seemed to get along. Xu Yizhong smiled, interesting!

Xu Yizhong suddenly found the relationships among these young girls quite amusing. He watched as Du Lei walked out of the office with her head held high and an elegant demeanor, and couldn't help but recall the fervent pursuit of her by the young men in the group. He was curious as to how a girl as beautiful as Du Lei had no rumors surrounding her at all. To his knowledge, several young men in the marketing and sales departments of the group had been infatuated with her, and their pursuit had not ceased since she joined the group.

After reviewing the promotional planning proposal from the planning department, he found the text to be quite good and the organization clear. During the meeting discussion, he noticed a very beautiful girl sitting in the conference room; the same uniform on her made her stand out with exceptional grace. He thought to himself that the marketing department had even brought in such a beautiful girl for external public relations.

She is not formidable; she is simply unwilling to be lonely. She always needs to find something to engage in.

How do you think this matter should be handled

As he was about to unravel the mystery of the discord between Du Lei and Yao Yu, Xu Yi felt a surge of excitement. At that moment, a new question arose, plunging him back into confusion. Just as he had meticulously peeled away the layers of the analysis to reach this point, he found himself stumped by the final question, leaving him somewhat unwilling to accept this outcome.

"Do you think they want to cause us trouble?" Xu Yizhong retorted.

Yao Yu spoke incessantly about the merits of Durex in the car, and he sensed an underlying tone of sarcasm. Durex remarked that Yao Yu was unwilling to be lonely, had a strong curiosity, and enjoyed playing, and he detected a hint of disdain in Durex's flat voice towards Yao Yu

Xu Yizhong greatly admires Du Lei's literary talent and clear-mindedness. While listening, he gazes at Du Lei, whose eyes meet his and do not look away. There are few possibilities for someone to maintain such direct eye contact; the only commonality among them is that they all possess a strong psychological quality

"It is nothing special, just an ordinary classmate relationship." Du Lei's response was the same as Yao Yu's. However, Xu Yi had a strong intuition that there was a story between the two.
