Chapter 51 - 51 49 Li Jie's Friendly Gesture

51: Chapter 49 Li Jie’s Friendly Gesture 51: Chapter 49 Li Jie’s Friendly Gesture However, Tangyu’s idleness didn’t last for long because someone finally arrived.

“Eh, Brother Tangyu, how come you’re here so early, didn’t you get the work time wrong?” Wang Dazhuang walked in, saw Tangyu sitting there, and was obviously quite surprised.

It wasn’t even half past eight yet, ah.

He thought he would definitely be the first one at the company, right?

Unexpectedly, because he couldn’t sleep earlier, he came to the company early, originally wanting to show off; but to his shock, someone else had arrived even earlier.

His full enthusiasm suffered a bit of a blow, of course, this blow soon turned into surprise.

After spending the entire day with him yesterday, Wang Dazhuang had come to thoroughly admire Tangyu from the bottom of his heart and was sincerely willing to address him as Brother Tangyu.

Tangyu said, “I didn’t get the time wrong, I just came early out of diligence and enthusiasm.

Actually, I arrived at the company at eight o’clock.”

Wang Dazhuang immediately gave Tangyu a thumbs-up: “Brother Tangyu is Brother Tangyu, this kind of hardworking spirit is worth our learning.”

“Bullshit, I’ve been bored sitting here by myself,” Tangyu said with a white glance at Wang Dazhuang.

Tangyu wouldn’t mind coming to work early if there was something to do, but sitting around doing nothing really was uncomfortable.

However, this department was relatively relaxed, so there were very few instances of overtime.

Plus, since Tangyu had just joined the company and wasn’t directly responsible for any cases, he naturally seemed to have nothing to do.

“Brother Tangyu, you were just too awesome yesterday, like Bruce Lee was possessing you, absolutely explosive.

If I were a girl, I would definitely fall madly in love with you right away,” Wang Dazhuang said with starry eyes and a look of boundless admiration as he looked at Tangyu.

Of course, Wang Dazhuang’s expressions were always rather exaggerated.

Tangyu felt a chill and took two steps back to create some distance from Wang Dazhuang: “Back off, don’t contaminate my pure soul.”

“Ha, come on, Brother Tangyu, I’d be willing to be your loyal bottom,” Wang Dazhuang continued to say.

Tangyu felt the urge to beat up Wang Dazhuang, but knowing that he was joking, he simply found the joke quite cringeworthy: “No wonder you still don’t have a girlfriend.”

Wang Dazhuang said, “That’s not true, I’m generally the top, you know, a switch.

That’s the legendary charm that kills both men and women, the handsome man you need for both home and travel.

But really, I’m bummed out, why am I still single?

Brother Tangyu, that pretty female cop from yesterday, the one called Captain Song, what’s her story?”

“What, you’re interested?” Tangyu gave Wang Dazhuang a glance.

Wang Dazhuang immediately shook his head like a bobblehead: “No, no, Brother Tangyu, don’t misunderstand, I definitely wouldn’t dare.

How could I desecrate a woman you’ve taken a liking to?

I’m just a bit curious, tell me about her, such a high-level beauty, she’s like a goddess.”

“Don’t be so sleazy, my relationship with Captain Song is very innocent,” Tangyu said, of course, not minding the idea of developing something with Song Qingyu.

Love, after all, starts from a gradual transformation of liking.

Wang Dazhuang smirked lewdly: “You’ve got a male-female relationship and you’re still calling it innocent, Brother Tangyu, you’re really funny.”

“…”

“Let’s talk serious, Brother Tangyu, you saved Li Jie’s life yesterday, I think he must be incredibly grateful to you, I reckon he won’t deliberately target you anymore.

But Brother Tangyu, can I ask a weak question, did you practice Kung Fu?” Wang Dazhuang asked.

Kung Fu of Hua Country is indeed world-famous, with a history spanning thousands of years.

When it comes to Kung Fu, the vast majority of people still indulge in a quite mythicized understanding of it.

In reality, how many people truly know someone skilled in Kung Fu?

And as for what Kung Fu concretely means, the concept has been blurred.

Is someone who can fight two or three people considered to know Kung Fu?

Not necessarily.

“Kung Fu or not, I’ve just practiced some boxing and kicking since I was young,” Tangyu said.

“That’s real Kung Fu skills then, geez, so awesome.

One person easily taking down five thugs with knives, it was truly blood-pumping to watch.

If I had such skills, I’d be playing the hero saving the beauty every day; surely I could move a few beauties to devote themselves to me, hehe, then I’d be living a happy life.

Brother Tangyu, you are literally a Kung Fu cheating device when it comes to picking up girls.

I truly don’t get why you don’t have a girlfriend yet; it completely defies the laws of logic and Newton’s laws.

Are you sure you’re not fooling me?” Wang Dazhuang said, his face full of admiration and envy, though more so of envy.

Tangyu rolled his eyes at him: “Why would I fool you?

There’s nothing worth lying about in this.”

Scratching his head, Wang Dazhuang chuckled sheepishly: “That’s true.

So what are your plans, Brother Tangyu?

Our company has lots of beauties, each one of them a stunning beauty, each one a rare gem.

Liu Shanshan, the great beauty?

Zhang Xiaoxi, the great beauty?

Manager Min?

Manager Xin?

Or is it Captain Song?”

This question really was worth considering, and Tangyu curled her lips, saying, “What if I wanted to pursue him too?”

“Uh—”

“Alright, you’re lecherous.” Wang Dazhuang completely backed down.

Footsteps approached, and Tangyu and Wang Dazhuang looked over to see Li Jie walking towards them.

Seeing Tangyu and Wang Dazhuang, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Li Jie’s face.

Yesterday’s incident naturally made him feel ashamed.

“You guys are pretty early.” Li Jie tried to regain his composure as he spoke, but his tone was noticeably not as authoritative as it had been before, now it was unusually amiable, and the gratitude could even be heard in his voice.

“Heh, Brother Jie, you’re early too.

I just happened to wake up early today, got excited and couldn’t sleep, so I thought why not come to the office directly.

I actually wanted to show off a bit, but I didn’t expect that Brother Tangyu arrived even earlier than me,” Wang Dazhuang said with a smile.

Li Jie nodded and said, “If there’s nothing else, coming to the office early is good.

Rather than wasting that time, it’s better to come to the office and do some work.”

“Brother Jie is absolutely right, that’s what I think too.

I’m going to the restroom, you guys chat.” Wang Dazhuang was a clever man, and naturally he could tell that Li Jie had something to say to Tangyu alone, so he tactfully found an excuse and left the office.

Li Jie looked at Tangyu, having a thousand words in his heart, yet he didn’t know how to start.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

“Tangyu, thank you.

If you hadn’t stepped in yesterday, I might be lying in the hospital now.

I also want to formally apologize to you for what happened yesterday,” Li Jie said apologetically.

Tangyu smiled lightly and said, “Brother Jie, don’t be so formal.

We are all colleagues, being able to work together is also a kind of fate.

I care a lot about fate.

If we are fated, we can become friends.

Furthermore, what happened yesterday, even if it weren’t you, I would have stepped in.

If I hadn’t, Wang Dazhuang and the others would have.”

Li Jie nodded and said, “Don’t call me Brother Jie anymore.

That makes me truly ashamed, just call me Li Jie from now on.

Yes, I saw Wang Dazhuang and Liang Ge’s actions, I know they would have risked everything to save me.

I will never forget this kindness, I, Li Jie, will engrave it in my heart forever.

It’s indeed embarrassing to say, I was always very strict with you guys before and sometimes even acted superior.

Not only did you not resent me for it, but you also risked your lives to save me when I was in trouble.”

People, in many cases, only realize things after experiencing great disasters, and that is when they undergo great changes.

Li Jie hardly slept last night, thinking about his behavior at the company before.

Indeed, he had always been excellent since childhood and had always had good grades.

He was the pride of his family, a genius in the eyes of his teachers, and an outstanding student among his classmates.

He sang all the way to victory, winning countless first places, and his college entrance examination score was astonishing, allowing him to gain admission to one of Hua Country’s three prestigious universities, Donglin University.

After graduation, he turned down invitations from some big companies and chose to join this promising small company instead.

In fact, he felt his choice was the right one.

In less than two years of working at this company, he had achieved what he has now.

Although his salary was not very high, including performance bonuses and other factors, it reached the standard of an average office worker.

But upon closer examination, he realized that he had lost his way in his own excellence over the years, making him somewhat arrogant and proud.

In front of his subordinates, he would often put on airs and show a bit of arrogance.

Over the years, he had not made a single true friend.

On reflection, he really was a failure in life.

After realizing all this, he also felt quite ashamed.

Tangyu smiled and said, “Let bygones be bygones.

Although you are usually strict, I can see that you’re a good person at heart and upright.

I didn’t step in to save you yesterday just because you’re my colleague, my superior, but more importantly, I think you can be a friend.”

Li Jie stared at Tangyu and nodded earnestly, “Thank you, Tangyu.

I’ll change the way I interact with them from now on; my approach before was indeed wrong.”

Tangyu said, “Actually, I’ve always felt that whether it’s work, life, or anything else, since we’re brought together by fate, we’re a team, a temporary family.

Since we’re a family, we should be united and loving.

Only by being united can we live happily, work smoothly, and bring out greater energy to make our work even better.

The ancient rulers valued benevolence.

By putting people first, we can get along harmoniously and create brilliance together.

Rules are rigid, but people are flexible.

Being human means we have thought and emotion.

Heh, I’m also new here and just speaking my mind, Brother Jie, please correct me if I’m wrong.”

Li Jie pondered deeply and nodded firmly, “You’re absolutely right, Tangyu.

It’s true that I had many faults before.

Thank you, Tangyu, you not only saved me but also enlightened me.

You really are a capable man.

From now on, just call me Li Jie, drop the ‘Brother Jie’, I’m truly ashamed.”

“Heh, titles don’t matter much.

After all, you are older than me, have been at the company longer and are our group’s deputy leader.

Calling you Brother Jie is a mark of respect, and that’s proper.

There’s nothing to be embarrassed about,” Tangyu said.

In truth, Li Jie was not a bad person, and Tangyu was willing to be his friend.

Having lived in Ghost Doctor Valley for so many years, he realized he didn’t have many friends.

Coming to Donglin City, where the company was his first stop, it was nice to make some friends.

Although he had only interacted with everyone for a day, Tangyu liked this team.
