Chapter 156 Angelica
“Angelica sinensis? That’s a very unique name,” Yuan Sizhe said, taking the initiative to speak.
“Yes, that’s her pen name,” Xu Junhao explained.
She said half-jokingly, "We met on a forum. I thought she had unique insights. For a long time, I thought Dangui was a boy."
"Later, she came to work at my company and said that she was used to this pen name and never changed it. Now I have almost forgotten her real name."
Xu Junhao casually recounted his past with Danggui, and Yuan Yangyang noticed that as Xu Junhao spoke, Danggui's gaze towards him became filled with love and obsession.
It was fueled by a strong possessiveness and a hint of secret madness.
Looking at Xu Junhao, who was still talking non-stop like an idiot, Yuan Yangyang didn't even have the energy to complain.
[You're so stupid! She hinted so obviously, are you blind?!]
[Dang Gui, dang Gui, means she wants you to quickly return to her embrace!]
[The idea that she's used to her pen name and doesn't want to change it is just a lie to fool a clueless guy like you. She clearly chose that pen name on purpose to get close to you!]
The reason I went to work at your company was to get close to you and have you all to myself. Didn't you notice that besides her, there wasn't even a single female mosquito around you?
Xu Junhao froze on the spot, his mind going blank.
Faced with the gazes of the Yuan siblings, he had to pretend to know nothing.
I restrained myself from glancing at the angelica root.
What do you mean by "exclusive"? Aren't they comrades-in-arms who fought side by side?
Could it be that Dang Gui really has feelings for him?
But she knows she's a believer in being single, and she's previously said that she's fine with it and supports him!
For the first time, Xu Junhao felt that his brain was about to fail him.
Could it be that Yuan Yangyang made a mistake or misunderstood something?
[Sigh, Xu Junhao just praised me once, and Dangui immediately became hostile towards me, almost to the point of throwing knives at me.]
It's unbelievable that Xu Junhao has been so oblivious all these years, completely unaware that something was wrong with the other person!
[Xu Junhao, how could you be so careless as to keep such a possessive and obsessive person by your side? You're harming yourself and others!]
Xu Junhao tilted his head to look at Dang Gui, and saw the fervor in her eyes. He was so frightened that he quickly looked away.
That look in his eyes was terrifying; it was like he was about to devour him.
Xu Junhao recalled the past between the two of them, and there were many details that he had previously overlooked, but now he picked them up one by one.
He had previously intended for Danggui to go to a branch office for training, but she refused, saying that she had a good working relationship with him and didn't want to go so far.
He even mocked the other person for having no ambition at all.
Later, his secretarial team gradually evolved from having more women than men to being entirely male.
It was also Dangui who, for each of the dismissed female secretaries, explained in detail the mistakes they made in their work and their inability to perform the job.
Before Dang Gui came to his side, the secretariat had no problems and everything was running smoothly.
It was only after Danggui came to his side that the secretariat began to have frequent problems.
He didn't think much of it at the time, but now, upon reflection, he finds it terrifying.
Each and every one of these incidents points to one issue.
She really did have designs on him.
But this was hidden too well.
What bothered him most was what Yuan Yangyang meant by saying "harming others harms oneself."
Xu Junhao collected his thoughts and fell into deep thought.
Throughout the entire collaboration, Xu Junhao was distracted, his mind preoccupied with Yuan Yangyang's words, "harming others harms oneself."
However, Yuan Yangyang was busy with the ornamental fish in the aquarium and didn't spare Xu Junhao and the others any more attention.
During halftime, Xu Junhao wanted coffee, but Dang Gui refused, saying that Jian Chuxia didn't know Xu Junhao's taste, and went to pour the coffee herself.
[Tsk tsk tsk, can't even pour a cup of coffee? This possessiveness is truly perverted!]
Watching Dangui's departing figure, Xu Junhao's eyes darkened slightly, and he also got up and left.
Yuan Yangyang had a feeling something was going to happen, and the dog followed cautiously behind her.
Yuan Sizhe coughed lightly and followed Yuan Yangyang out as if by accident.
Jian Chuxia stared at her unusually quiet CEO Yuan, her mouth agape in disbelief.
Xu Junhao followed Dang Gui and casually said, "I've been your boss for so long, and I still don't know what kind of guys you like. I'll introduce you to a few later so you can pick one."
"I know you're eager to build your career, but you also need to consider your personal life. Otherwise, people will say that I, as your boss, am heartless and exploitative!"
Dang Gui paused in pouring coffee, glanced up at Xu Junhao, and said casually, "Any kind is fine? What if I like someone like the boss?"
Xu Junhao's heart sank, and he coldly refused, "You know I'm a staunch advocate of singlehood. I've never considered dating, nor do I want to hold anyone back."
"I'll take this as a joke, and let's not talk about this again."
Dang Gui's intense gaze made Xu Junhao very uncomfortable.
After a pause, Xu Junhao frowned and said, "The branch office is still short of a general manager, and we haven't had anyone capable of filling the position. Once the cooperation with Yuan's Group is finalized, you can be transferred there!"
"With you here, I feel at ease."
After saying that, he stopped drinking his coffee and turned to leave.
[Holy crap, that look from Dangui is terrifying!]
Xu Junhao is in danger.
The second half of the cooperation went smoothly without any unexpected problems.
Xu Junhao and Dang Gui showed no other emotions on their faces.
If Yuan Yangyang hadn't been eavesdropping behind them, no one would have believed that these two could still talk about serious matters without changing their expressions, completely unaffected by what happened in the break room earlier.
After the cooperation was finalized, Yuan Sizhe and Yuan Yangyang saw Xu Junhao off.
While waiting for the bus, Danggui, who had been diligently performing her duties, suddenly asked Xu Junhao a question.
"Mr. Xu, I'd like to know what would happen if I refused your suggestion?"
I still feel that my current position is a good fit for me, and I have no intention of changing jobs.
Someone I care about is here; even if I'm just silently watching over them, that's enough.
This statement is so direct it's almost a confession.
There was passion and determination in Dang Gui's eyes, and even Yuan Yangyang saw a desperate, reckless obsession and danger in them.
I have a feeling that if Xu Junhao continues to refuse, something bad will happen.
Xu Junhao felt as if he were being stared at by a wild beast, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Since there's no possibility, we shouldn't give the other person any illusions; that's better for everyone.
He coldly replied, "No way. You only have two options: transfer or resign."
"Moreover, if the other person doesn't like you, what's the difference between pestering and harassing? Both cause trouble for the other party."
Dang Gui stared at the other person for a moment, as if making a decision, and said, "Okay, I understand."
