BXBX NOVEL Chapter 80 - So It's You!
"Miss Wen, Miss Yang, what are the both of you still waiting for when others are already with their partners?" Mr Fang questioned, giving them a piercing glare. Everyone knew that the only males left was their director and CEO, so they were curious to know whether CEO Li\'s partner was Yang Zi or Wen Min.
"We are at it, Mr Fang," Wen Min said as she dragged the reluctant Yang Zi along with her. Su Jin silently prayed that Yang Zi should be his partner instead of the troublemaker Wen Min. While Su Jin was fidgeting, Li Yifeng just stared at the two ladies as they approached them. No one could guess what was on his mind.
"Wen Min, let\'s exchange partners. Nobody will really know who we picked if we exchange partners, so let\'s help each other out, hmm?" Yang Zi pleaded as she clung onto Wen Min\'s hand. Her expression showed she was desperate.
"Although I hate Su Jin that does not mean I like Yifeng. They are both big bullies. Yifeng is the worst, so I will just stick with Su Jin instead of Yifeng. Yang Zi, I am just curious. Why don\'t you want to be Yifeng\'s partner? From what I have seen since we arrived here, I can see that he treats you well, so what is the problem?" Wen Min asked curiously. Since they were now close to Li Yifeng\'s seat. They both kept quiet.
Su Jin threw Wen Min a murderous glare when she walked past him, thinking Yang Zi was his partner, not knowing that he was totally wrong. After he felt that they took their positions, he turned around with a smile on his face to greet Yang Zi, but his smile immediately turned to a frown when he saw Wen Min standing beside him.
"So it\'s you," Su Jin exclaimed in disgust. He instantly faced his front when he saw that he was the unlucky one. He regretted wishing that Yang Zi was Yifeng\'s partner earlier.
"Hey, do you think I am happy to be your partner? I dislike being your partner more than you do, so stop being a pain in the neck," Wen Min said in a low tone. Yang Zi just watched them behave as children. She could not help but think the three of them knew each other very well.
"Stop making a fuss and behave yourselves," Yifeng ordered coldly, throwing Wen Min a sharp glare. Wen Min immediately looked away in annoyance. Yang Zi was relieved that he didn\'t glance at her. She wouldn\'t have known how to react if he had stared at her.
"Meanies," Wen Min muttered. Her expression was an angry one. Yang Zi wrapped her right hand around her shoulder when she saw how angry the once happy Wen Min was.
"Now that everyone has a partner, let\'s move to sharing the map of hidden treasures. Remember to follow the map so you won\'t go missing. I know that many of you are dissatisfied with the partners you have chosen, but what is the essence of this entire trip?" Mr Fang asked rhetorically as he stared at the ladies. His eyes met Yang Zi and Wen Min\'s sour expression. He could see they were not happy with the partners they had chosen.
"Teamwork," he said. "The essence of this entire Christmas trip is to imbibe the spirit of teamwork in all our employees. What is the point of working together in an enormous company if all our employees don\'t get along?" Mr Fang implied, staring at their faces.
"The CEO will heavily reward the group who gets the most treasures in this hunt because this shows that the winning team knows the reason this trip was organised," Mr Fang announced seriously.
"The game starts now. I expect all groups to assemble here in five hours. Let\'s see which group knows why we are here," Mr Fang said as he signalled them to carry their map and get going. Everyone went to pick the map on the table. Those who picked the map immediately followed the map in search for the treasure, but Yang Zi and Wen Min did not bug. They stood there staring into space.
"Aren\'t you moving?" Yifeng asked Su Jin coldly, forgetting that he was also playing the game too.
"What about you, aren\'t you moving too?" Angered Su Jin asked irritatedly. He was still angry about the fact that Wen Min was his partner.
"Bullies," Wen Min remarked. She was still fuming in anger.
"Did you just say something?" Su Jin asked, turning around to face her. Wen Min tilted her head sideways in annoyance. She was about to snap back at Su Jin had Yang Zi not spoken up before her.
"Director Su, stop picking on my cute looking Wen Min, hmmm? She is too adorable to be picked on," Yang Zi said, wrapping her right hand around Wen Min\'s neck. She knew very well that they would keep on fighting if she did not interfere.
"Cute? Who is cute? You don\'t mean this ugly girl, right?" Su Jin spoke disgustedly. Through his words, Yang Zi would have assumed that the three of them were enemies, but she didn\'t. Their behaviour reminded her of when Shiyi and Shui Shui often quarrel with each other. They often say words they don\'t mean. She could not help but conclude that the three of them know each other so much where they can exchange words with each other without thinking about the consequences.
"Yang Zi come on let\'s go. Leave these two children alone," Yifeng said, standing up to his feet. He turned around and glared at her when she did not bug from where she was standing.
"What are you still waiting for? Don\'t tell me you want to stand here separating them all day?" Yifeng asked, staring at Yang Zi. Yang Zi reluctantly walked a few distances away from Wen Min, but she still walked up to Wen Min again. Her actions perplexed Yifeng. He could not believe that Yang Zi was so close to the nasty-tempered lady, to the point that she found it hard to separate from her. He could not help but subconsciously wished his relationship with her was like that of Wen Min.
"Although I think he is a friendly guy, don\'t let him bully you and if he dares bully you, tell me and I will definitely avenge you. Take care of yourself, don\'t wander too far into the forest and don\'t get hurt too," Yang Zi hugged Wen Min as she whispered these words into her ears. Wen Min felt so overwhelmed, realising that Yang Zi liked her much more than she thought. She responded to her hug with smiles on her face. She felt so happy to have a friend who genuinely cared about her. She forgot about her fight with Su Jin and Yifeng.
