"Sis, why does your boss seem a bit strange to me?" Xiaoyu said, lying on the bed.
"What's wrong?" Li Feiqing didn't understand why Xiaoyu said that.
"When we were eating at the restaurant tonight, a fat man grabbed my arm and wanted me to go drink with him. To my surprise, Guo Xuyang even gave the other party a few gold bricks."
"How could that happen? And then what?"
"On the way back, I heard someone calling him, saying there was trouble at the hotel."
"What's the situation?"
"I don't know. Anyway, he told the other party to come find him for a drink when he had time."
"Then it's nothing."
"I even got slapped in the face."
"Where did you get hit?"
"Over here," Xiaoyu pointed to her right cheek with her finger.
"Is it still swollen?"
"No, your boss blew on it, and it went away."
"Don't talk nonsense, how is that possible?"
"Yeah, when he told me that, I also told him he was tricking a child.
But after he blew on it, it was really fine.
It was painful and swollen before, and then it was completely fine."
"That's impossible." Li Feiqing didn't believe Xiaoyu's words at all.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me because I didn't believe it myself.
But the facts made me have to believe."
"Is that the strange part you were talking about?"
"I asked him today why he was so good to me. Does he like me?"
"You little girl, why are you so direct? What did he say?"
"He said he liked me, and that Auntie liked me, so he liked me too.
I always feel like he's trying to cover something up."
"Why do you say that?"
"I can feel it, he likes me from the bottom of his heart."
"What do you have? What does he see in you?
Are the women around the boss not prettier than you?"
"But they aren't as young as me."
"You're mistaken. Although I've only been here for a few days, I know quite a bit about the boss's situation," Li Feiqing said.
"Then tell me, how am I mistaken?"
"The boss has women in many places like Kyoto, Shanghai, and the provincial capital.
The youngest is a university student who just started her first year and already had a son for him.
She's now back to her hometown with her son, saying she plans to continue her studies.
As you saw when we ate at the villa there that day, how many pregnant women were there in the house? Those are all the boss's wives.
You say you are young, and indeed you are younger than these people, but you are not as pretty as them.
Look at your skinny figure, can it compare to those with curves?"
"Why do all these women like him?"
"Do you know how much this villa costs?"
"How much?"
"Several hundred million."
"So much?"
"Yes. I heard them say that the boss got tens of billions in dividends not long ago."
"Tens of billions? My heavens, you couldn't spend it all in a lifetime even if you spent it every day.
No wonder General Manager Xiao said that about President Guo when they talked about dividends at dinner just now."
"What did he say?"
"He said that he could afford to eat like that every day."
"That General Manager Xiao and President Li upstairs each received a hundred billion in dividends."
"Why do they get so much in dividends?"
"They were the earliest to follow the boss."
"Hey? When can I be so rich?"
"That's why you shouldn't overthink it. The boss just likes you.
If you want him to fall in love with you, it might be difficult," Li Feiqing said.
"If he fell in love with me, would he marry me?"
"I don't know. His wife is upstairs, and the other wives got married in foreign countries with marriage certificates and wedding ceremonies."
"Oh, right. The three people we saw outside that day all seemed to be university students.
Your boss wants them to help me with my studies."
"That's a good thing. I heard they are all top students from prestigious foreign universities.
Having them tutor you should help improve your grades quickly.
Especially in English, they should speak it better than your teachers."
"I don't know about that, I haven't really interacted with them yet."
Just then, the two suddenly heard a faint, unusual sound from outside, rising and falling.
"Go to sleep, let's not talk anymore, you have class tomorrow."
Li Feiqing pulled Xiaoyu and pushed her towards the bed after listening for a while.
"What is that sound? It sounds so painful, yet also so pleasurable?" Xiaoyu asked.
"It's an owl calling. Go to sleep quickly, it's too late, you might not be able to wake up tomorrow morning."
"Alright then," Xiaoyu said and closed her eyes.
But the more she tried not to listen, the more the sound drilled into her ears.
"Sis, this can't be the sound of an owl. Listen carefully, it sounds very rhythmic."
"Hurry up and sleep."
"Sis, do you think this is your boss fighting with someone?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Sleep quickly."
"It must be. I was wondering why the sound was so strange.
I didn't expect your boss to be so powerful. I just wonder who he's doting on today?"
"You little imp, do you want to be spanked?"
Li Feiqing sat up, throwing off the blanket.
"I'll go to sleep now, okay? Why are you so impatient?"
Xiaoyu mumbled, turned over, and fell asleep.
