Chapter 250: Chapter 250 Steel Straight Man (2)_1

"The most beautiful kid in the whole capital": "..."

"The most beautiful kid in the whole capital": "666666"

"The most beautiful kid in the whole capital": "Your boss is impressive! If I say I like giant pandas, can he deliver one to my doorstep for me to pick?"

After pondering for a moment, Han Jingnian earnestly responded, "Madam, regarding this question, I just asked our boss. Mr. Han said he can’t do it."

Can’t do it... Does this make him seem too weak?

Thinking about it, Han Jingnian sent another message: "But Mr. Han also said that if he can’t do it, no one else can. There’s no one in this world who could."

After balancing his emotions, Han Jingnian continued replying: "However, Mr. Han said that if you really want a panda, he can accompany you to the Panda Base to adopt one. But the adopted panda has to be raised at the Panda Base, and taken care of by professionals. It can’t be taken home."

"The most beautiful kid in the whole capital": "..."

"The most beautiful kid in the whole capital": "I think, Zhang Te, both you and your boss are straight men--The iron-clad type!"

Straight Men? Iron-clad straight men?

As Han Jingnian pondered with a knitted brow, he turned to ask Zhang Te: "What does ’straight man’ mean?"

"Uh..." Zhang Te thought for a moment, "it means a man who won’t fall for another man!"

"Then what about ’iron-clad straight men’?"

Zhang Te, who wasn’t entire sure of the meaning, racked his brain and gave an explanation he found quite reasonable: "No matter what, even if he were left in the world only with another man, he would never have a thing for him. Like iron, he’s straight through and through!"

Hearing this, Han Jingnian seemed to have understood, nodded and, picking up his cellphone, replied to Xia Wan’an: "Thank you for the compliment, Madam."

At the other end of the phone, Xia Wan’an, who was selecting vegetables while drinking a Yakult, spit out her drink upon seeing these six words.

Zhang Te... Is there something wrong with his brain?

Which part of her conversation had he interpreted as a compliment?

Doesn’t he know that the two defining characteristics of an iron-clad straight man are, first, always managing to kill any romance, and second, constantly failing to understand feelings?

The reason she called them both iron-clad straight men was precisely because they had killed the romance!

She had casually mentioned wanting a panda and they had given such a serious response. She didn’t know how to respond to that!

...

In Han Jingnian’s office, after answering Han Jingnian’s question, Zhang Te sneezed heavily.

Seeing that Han Jingnian had put away his cell phone, and was about to remind him to sign a few documents, Zhang Te sneezed hard once again just as he opened his mouth.

Strange, was someone cursing him?

With that thought, Zhang Te sneezed again, then rubbed his nose: "Mr. Han, I’m sorry, I think I might be coming down with a cold."

"Oh, then keep your distance from me. Don’t pass it on to me."

Zhang Te: "..."

Zhang Te, hurt and aggrieved, placed the documents at the far end of the office desk: "Mr. Han, you need to sign these documents."

Only when Zhang Te had retreated some distance from the table, did Han Jingnian pick up the documents and started signing them.

However, just as he was signing the second document, there was a sudden noise outside the office door, as if something quarrelsome was happening.

Before Zhang Te could go check out what was going on, the office door was abruptly pushed open--
