Chapter 150: I Really Don’t Want to Be a Womanizer

Page 1/3

Wang Yuting’s qualifications and experience were insufficient, that was certain.
At such a young age, just out of university, she had been appointed financial director.
In truth, this was unfair to those of them who were older, but such was reality. Since Cheng Yao was willing to give her a chance, they naturally had no objections.
“The finance department still needs a deputy director, someone with more work experience to assist. Ultimately, it depends on ability—just because I say it, doesn’t mean it’s set in stone…”
“Understood, President Cheng.”
Bai Shulan smiled and nodded; in other words, it was merit-based—if Wang Yuting didn’t perform, she would be replaced. The opportunity was given.
That was fair enough.
Originally, today was meant to be a visit to the machinery department, which they had already seen. Cheng Yao drove away from the company, slowing to a stop at the gate.
“Senior, it’s scorching outside, please get in the car.”
“Thank you…”
Wang Yuting brushed her hair back, awkwardly trying to open the car door.
Cheng Yao couldn’t help but laugh and helped her open and close it.
After fastening her seatbelt, Wang Yuting smiled and asked, “I heard from Senior Guan that you run an entertainment company. How did it turn into a technology company?”
“This company was just recently founded. I happened to have a promising project in hand with good growth potential. Now I’m seeing if we can make a breakthrough in Jinling and work hard…”
Cheng Yao held the steering wheel, smiling faintly.
A financial director at a small startup was nothing special, especially at a newly established company; it was just a title. Only when the company truly developed could she grasp her own future.
In fact, Cheng Yao wanted to laugh.
He had just started a company; the title of financial director didn’t quite fit yet.
Training someone himself was better than hiring.
Of course, it depended on whether Wang Yuting could perform.
Wang Yuting’s heart pounded wildly; she thought she’d misheard.
“Th-thank you, President Cheng…”
In truth, Wang Yuting was a bit overwhelmed.
She came with a mindset to try, never expecting to succeed so quickly. Of course, she knew most of the credit went to Cheng Yao.
“Are things with the student union settled?”
“We’re in the process of handing over. Once all the work is transferred, it will be over and won’t affect my job.”
Cheng Yao nodded gently, “It’s not too busy now, but starting next week it will get hectic. Handle the school matters quickly to avoid delays. You’re stepping into this position mainly because the company is short-staffed. Work hard.”
“I understand!”
Wang Yuting bit her lip. The opportunity was hers to seize; if she relied solely on connections without ability, she feared she’d become a joke in the end.
After dropping Wang Yuting at school and parking the car, they parted ways. Cheng Yao headed straight to the classroom.
However, as soon as he arrived, Wang Wenbo teased with a smile, “The scumbag’s back. Senior is really beautiful.”
“What the hell?”
Cheng Yao looked baffled. Liu Hanyue glanced at him before looking away. Wang Churou asked, “Cheng Yao, your treatment at school is like a celebrity’s now. The video on the forum was a huge hit—young CEO, tsk tsk…”
“You were filmed right after you got out of the car,” Zhou Ziqing reminded him.
Fu Yujie pushed up his glasses, “For the sake of our class’s reputation, give me Senior’s contact info so I can take the blame for the insults.”
Cheng Yao couldn’t help but laugh—less than ten minutes had passed.
“Cheng Yao, want to grab a meal?”
“Let’s go.”
“We’re coming too!”
Wang Churou pulled Liu Hanyue along with a bright smile. After these past few days, the three seemed to have returned to how they were before.
But she knew it was just a surface appearance; maintaining the current state was already good enough.
The group left the school and found a street food stall, picking at various dishes before settling down to rest.
Cheng Yao thought for a moment and said, “By the way, I’m planning a trip. Do you two want to come?”
“Trip?” Wang Wenbo asked curiously.
Wang Churou asked, “Company trip?”
“No, just going with some friends to relax. Are you coming?”
Zhang Lei was eating a jianbing guozi, “Are you asking us?”

“You’re so clueless,” Wang Wenbo said.
“Damn!”
Zhu Huiyang shook his head, “The last trip to Guangzhou messed me up. I’m thinking of delivering takeout at school.”
“Are you sure you were really that damaged in Guangzhou?” Zhang Lei teased.
Zhu Huiyang’s face darkened.
Wang Wenbo looked at Liu Hanyue and Wang Churou, “When did you two get together?”
Cheng Yao said, “The company signed them both. It’s a pity not to develop such millions of followers.”
“Tsk tsk, you’re even eating your own grass.”
“The worst part is, the grass nearby isn’t even available,” Cheng Yao joked.
“…”
Seems that’s the case.
Liu Hanyue shook her head, “We’re not going on the trip. We just traveled over the National Day holiday and it was exhausting. You guys go, or maybe you can accompany him?”
Liu Hanyue looked at Wang Churou.
Wang Churou was startled, “If anyone’s going to accompany him, it should be you…”
Just then, Cheng Yao’s phone rang.
“Hello, who is this?”
“Junior, it’s me. We had such intimate interaction just a few days ago, and you’ve already forgotten your sister.”
As the voice fell, the surroundings fell silent.
Wang Wenbo licked his lips, Zhang Lei and Zhu Huiyang stopped eating their buns, Wang Churou’s ears twitched, and Liu Hanyue stared at him with wide eyes.
The only thing missing was the word ‘scumbag.’
“Junior, your sister has missed you so much.”
Cheng Yao’s face turned as dark as a pot bottom; he didn’t dare let her continue. This senior was truly uninhibited. “Senior, please restrain yourself. When were we ever close? Don’t make things up. My friends are here, so be careful or I’ll send you a lawyer’s letter.”
“Oh, sorry, sorry, just joking. The last interview seemed to go well, didn’t it? Didn’t it boost your popularity quite a bit?”
“Not bad. Now every day girls are harassing me.”
Nearby, Liu Hanyue and the others exchanged strange looks.
Wang Wenbo hung his head, feeling overwhelmed by the display of humblebragging.
Zhu Huiyang and Zhang Lei remained silent, not envious; both had been deeply hurt by women—one scammed online, the other trapped by loans…
Such experiences were truly miserable.
Guan Yiqiu smiled, “Are you free now?”
“Anything you need?”
“Actually, you just started a tech company, right? The TV station has a popular interview program. Can you come out? I’ll treat you to a drink to make up for last time.”
Hearing this, Cheng Yao thought this senior was truly a social butterfly, even trying to make him a backup…
If he weren’t sharp-eyed, he might have fallen for this beautiful, proactive senior.
Luckily, he was battle-hardened and had escaped the role of a simp.
“You heard about it again?”
“Yes, I have my sources everywhere in Jinling. When are you free?”
Cheng Yao had no energy to retort; wasn’t it just Wang Yuting who told her?
“I’m eating now. I’ll talk after.”
“Okay, I’ll send you the address. Waiting for you.”
After hanging up, Guan Yiqiu sent a message. Cheng Yao sighed; he really didn’t want to be a cuckold, but she kept pushing.
Too much pressure…
How could he handle it!?
“The senior who works at the TV station, from our finance university…”
“No need to explain. We just heard everything. I’ve always believed in your character, Cheng Yao. Since the start of school, I’ve been your little fan!”
Wang Churou said righteously, completely different from her earlier expression.
Cheng Yao was too lazy to respond, so he said, “Hurry up and eat. I’m leaving after.”
“If you’re in a hurry, go ahead,” Liu Hanyue said sarcastically.

“What’s the rush? She has a boyfriend.”
Cheng Yao immediately wanted to slap himself after saying that. What was the point of explaining?
Liu Hanyue teased, “So if she didn’t have a boyfriend, you’d have ideas, huh?”
“She’s dreaming. I’m the man she’ll never get.”
After dinner, everyone returned to their dorms. Cheng Yao went to the parking lot, where a few young girls were taking photos beside the cars.
Seeing Cheng Yao, they awkwardly stepped aside and curiously observed him.
Cheng Yao twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling like the treasure of the finance university.
At that moment, Old Li called.
“Hello, teacher…”
“There’s a program at the TV station the principal has heard about. They want you to cooperate with an interview. It will be good publicity for you, and afterward…”
“Senior already called me.”
“Alright, just be mindful.”
“Understood.”
After hanging up, Cheng Yao shook his head. Even the principal was paying attention to him now?
He was just a small player.
“Really handsome, much better than the photos…”
“Even more charismatic in person.”
In the parking lot, two girls looked at the taillights with adoring eyes.
Leaving school, Cheng Yao headed straight to Xinjiekou, parked in a building, and followed the address Guan Yiqiu gave him to a coffee shop.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t Starbucks—somewhat unexpected.
The coffee shop was small, with seven or eight people inside, gentle music playing. One cup of coffee could last through an intimate, long conversation.
“Hello…”
“Looking for someone.”
Cheng Yao smiled and nodded, causing the female server to become flustered, “O-okay.”
“Junior, over here.”
Guan Yiqiu raised her hand and called softly.
Seeing her, Cheng Yao went over and sat down, picking up a menu to order juice.
Guan Yiqiu teased with a bright smile, “A big boss like you drinking juice? Shouldn’t you be having a latte?”
“Not used to it. Maybe I haven’t reached your age yet.”
“What age? Am I old?”
“Not really…”
“Am I old? Then I’m leaving…”
“Sigh, maybe that’s just how girls are—more mature than boys.”
Cheng Yao ordered juice and said, “My homeroom teacher just called. The interview program is on TV?”
“Of course. Such a great opportunity. Many bosses in Jinling want to go on and show off their products. I got this chance for you. How about it? Shouldn’t you thank me?”
“Then I really should thank you.”
Cheng Yao teased, “But I’m probably just your work achievement, right?”
“Based on how you’re doing now, if your company gains some standing in Jinling, I can probably stabilize my position at the TV station.”
Guan Yiqiu smiled somewhat forcedly; she got in through connections.
So sometimes, just because there’s no visible trouble on the surface, it doesn’t mean there isn’t any inside.
