Chapter 722: Chapter 722: Request for Help

At that point, it seemed almost impossible for Zhang Tao to add her back. By the time Zhang Tao saw the message, he had already ordered food. It was only after seeing that picture did he realize he had made such a big mistake by not noticing he was with his company colleagues in the video he sent directly, likely causing a misunderstanding.

Moreover, he had just said he was eating alone. No, he had to explain to make her understand he was eating plain steamed buns, which was better than letting her think he was dining with another woman and deceiving her. Continuing this way, Zhang Tao felt like he was becoming a deceiving jerk, and he couldn’t let that happen, so he decided to send a message to explain.

But after sending it, he only received a red exclamation mark. That glaringly red exclamation mark was so striking that it made Zhang Tao feel physically uncomfortable, freezing him up completely.

He had been busy ordering food earlier, so he hadn’t checked his messages, overlooking this point. Now he found himself directly blocked and blacklisted—what should he do? He wanted to add her back but couldn’t, how could he explain?

If he waited until next time, who knows when that would be, so he turned to Shen Dong for help, knowing Shen Dong had Tang Yuchan’s contact information. Couldn’t he just borrow his phone to send a message to explain? Besides, Shen Dong had witnessed him eating the plain steamed buns, serving as an excellent witness.

He wasn’t worried that Tang Yuchan wouldn’t believe him, thinking he was just sweet-talking to deceive others. Shen Dong, noticing that pleading look, felt a bit dumbfounded. Suddenly getting that look made him quite uncomfortable, so he spoke up,

"Why suddenly like this? This meal must be a great treat for you, so you give me that look. I feel I don’t need it, your developing that app would be thanks enough. This simple meal doesn’t warrant such a look, making me quite embarrassed,"

Shen Dong said jokingly with a wave of his hand. This statement made Zhang Tao hasten to say, "It’s not about the meal, I really need your help to save me. This isn’t a joke. You should have Tang Yuchan’s contact, could you send me her number? There’s something I need to tell her, I just made a mistake and was misunderstood.

I want to explain properly but she’s already deleted and blocked me. I really want to find her and explain everything, can you let me explain?"

This plea stunned Shen Dong. What had this guy done to be deleted and blocked by Tang Yuchan? A deletion and a block from this young lady were quite serious—a lesson he had learned the hard way from his girlfriend.

So, with a mindset of watching the drama unfold, he glanced at him and said, "Did you really make a big mistake to end up with this result? Tell me, I’m quite curious."

This attitude of enjoying the drama nearly broke him, so he responded, "Not at all, I haven’t done anything bad. I just sent the wrong message and now I want to make amends. I’ve been here explaining the app and eating with you, and I just forgot to reply back then."

Upon hearing this, Shen Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "Impossible, such a simple mistake doesn’t warrant a deletion and a block. At worst, she would make you wait or give you a silent treatment. This is what I know about Tang Yutong; you must be hiding something else from me. If you don’t tell me, I won’t help you. Hurry up and spill it."

Zhang Tao bit his lip, feeling it might be better to just come clean to potentially resolve the issue, and Shen Dong would then agree to help him. If he said nothing, he’d definitely get no help. So he explained everything from beginning to end—the fact that he was eating plain steamed buns and mistakenly told her he was eating frog.

Then, it was discovered that there was a woman sitting across from him, who was actually his colleague. Shen Dong, after listening with a serious face, almost burst out laughing. Well, this issue was pretty serious. In such a case, Tang Yuchan’s initiative showed she had the patience, unlike what might happen if his girlfriend was in a similar situation.

If he would swipe away then perhaps pack up his baggage and throw it out the door when he got home later, he knew, it could likely be a real possibility. Thinking about it, he felt that life for men these days was quite tragic. Yet, seeing how she reacted because of him, he felt compelled to help.

"Alright, considering how miserable you are, I’ll help you out. But don’t worry, as soon as I explain everything and she hears it, she will definitely add you back and unblock you. You don’t have to worry so much."

After assertively saying that, Shen Dong picked up his phone and made a call to Tang Yuchan. Tang Yuchan, already annoyed, heard her boss’s phone ringing and pretending not to hear, she turned off her phone, not wishing to accept the call. Was he going to ask her to do yet another task?

So the phone rang for a long while without an answer. Shen Dong, there, laughing upon realizing nobody answered, then said, "Don’t worry, she’s probably busy with something, didn’t see her phone, so didn’t pick up. Just wait, I’ll call again in a bit and explain everything, then you’ll be all set."

After waiting a while, he called again. But the phone rang for a long, long time and still no answer, finally showing on his own end that the call had been disconnected—undeniably an awkward atmosphere. Shen Dong, refusing to give up, made another call, only to find that the phone was now showing as turned off.

That woman didn’t want to answer the call; she had simply turned off her phone. Shen Dong stifled his response—how could she have such a fiery temper, to just turn off her phone like that? How was he supposed to send a message to find her now?

All this while in front of Zhang Tao, how was he supposed to maintain his dignity as a boss? So he coughed and said, "It seems you’ve really hurt her, now she’s even turned off her phone, probably doesn’t want to answer anyone’s calls now. Ah, I really don’t want to scold you, but how could you make such a mistake?"
