The Devil Doctor's Spicy Love
Chapter 298: Caution

Chapter 298: Caution

"Congratulations, Miss. Li, Miss. Tang. You did a great job with the competition," Xun Chunlei smiled. "As a reward for winning the competition, we invite you to join our prestigious project, Project Nexus."

Zexi beamed ecstatically. She bowed. "Thank you so much Sir Xun! I will do my best!"

He smiled. "Yes, that is the spirit."

Beiye thanked him more or less the same way.

"We will start with your project onboarding activities sometime this week. You will receive all the necessary emails and tasks to do. I am really happy for you two. It’s a great chance for you two to learn."

Zexi shone. She knew that her primary purpose was to investigate Zhang Luqi’s case, but she was still thrilled to know that she won.

Xun Chunlei suggested. "We should all have a party to celebrate your win and joining. Let’s have a team dinner tonight. I will also introduce you two with the rest of the members."

Zexi clapped in delight. "Yes, absolutely!"

He smiled. "Keep up with the good work."

As he left, Zexi eagerly grabbed Beiye’s hand with a sparkling gaze. "We won, Beiye! Aren’t you excited?"

"Yeah, sure," she smiled. "Very exciting indeed."

"Aish, you are always so mature and calm. I can hardly contain my happiness! Oh, oh, let me give the good news to my boyfriend, hehe~"

Zexi stepped aside to make the call to Bojing, who was equally thrilled to hear the good news.

"T-That’s so awesome, Zexi!" Bojing sniffled. "I-I am so proud of you..."

Zexi sheepishly grinned. "Hehe~"

"I-It will be a double c-celebration tonight!" Bojing beamed. "W-we will have our d-date and celebrate your v-victory too..."

Date?

Zexi blinked at first and then gasped.

"Oh no!"

"W-what happened, Zexi?" Bojing anxiously asked.

She cried. "I am so sorry, Bojing! I was so happy with the results that I completely forgot about our date. And now my manager has organized a team dinner tonight and I said yes..."

"O-Oh!" He sighed in relief. "I-It’s fine, Zexi. I thought something bad happened. B-But you should d-definitely go to the team dinner!"

"I am sorry Bojing..." She hung her head low.

"No, no! Don’t be. W-we will have our date some o-other day."

She sniffled. "My boyfriend is the best."

They talked some more and hung up and as she turned, she didn’t see Beiye anywhere. But a minute later, she found her standing at a distance, talking to Zhang Luqi’s colleague, Teng Bo.

Beiye smiled. "I hope to learn from you Miss. Teng."

Teng Bo narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean? I am not a part of that project."

"Oh is it? But I heard Mrs. Zhang and you worked together," she blinked once.

"Really? I don’t know what kinds of rumors are spreading in this office. Who is the source to say such things?"

"Word just goes around here and there."

She smiled back. "Well then word also is that Xun Chunlei is very capable and talented. You will learn a lot from him so you wouldn’t need any outside help. Now, if you are done bothering me with pointless things, then I have work to do."

—

At Mingshen’s lab.

"Have you decided the place for your date, Senior Lu?" Shilin asked as they worked.

"N-No, we are not going on a date tonight," Bojing shook his head but beamed with pride a moment later, "Zexi w-won the competition! So they are all g-going for a team dinner tonight."

He continued sniffling. "Zexi is so talented. I am so proud of her..."

"Oh, that’s nice," Shilin said. "So she should start to exercise more caution now."

Bojing blinked.

"Well, these are the people who have worked with Mrs. Zhang Luqi might be responsible for her accident, right? Especially...that manager. What was his name?"

"X-Xun Chunlei?"

"Ah yes, him. Didn’t he get the promotion which Zhang Luqi should have gotten? He also seems to head this project in some way so Miss. Zexi should be more careful with her investigation with these people. Her winning the competition wouldn’t really matter as something fishy is going on in Quantum Games, especially with its connection to She."

"Oh, y-you are right!"

Bojing grew a little tense. He rubbed his hands together, worrying about her. Suddenly, he didn’t wish for her to attend the team dinner anymore.

Will Zexi be alright tonight...?

"M-Maybe, I should pick her up a-after the team dinner is done."

"Sounds like a good plan," he smiled.

Then from the corner of his eyes, he saw Mingshen walking in the lab with slumped shoulders.

"Boss?" Shilin was taken aback.

He had never seen the ever so charismatic and positive Yang Mingshen in a low mood.

Bojing shone and hopped to hug him. "Boss! Zexi won the competition!"

Ugh...

Mingshen almost felt his bones shattering with his assistant’s crushing hug.

"Oh yeah, good for you. Now get off me! You want to kill me?"

Shilin asked, "Boss doesn’t seem to be in a good mood."

His gaze darkened. "Apparently, I got tricked by a kid today. It’s quite shameful."

Bojing’s eyes widened. "A kid?"

He sneered. "Yes. It looked like she would help Spicy and me gain entry to Huayuan but she just grinned at me with that bubbly face and said no. I had my hopes up for nothing."

Not to mention that Spicy saw me fail for something I was so confident in achieving it...he gritted his teeth.

Bojing cried. "B-Boss, you already know it’s impossible for us to get into Huayuan."

"I thought Danya will help us."

He beamed. "D-Danya? You met her? How is she?"

He sneered again. "Apparently doing great by tricking adults. She will grow up to be one fine conniving woman."

"S-She is a cute child, not a trickster!" Bojing defended her.

Mingshen dryly said, "Yeah so why not meet her? She wants to meet her beautiful brother anyway."

"Oh!" Bojing sparkled.

Shilin smiled. "That’s adorable. I think Senior Lu should meet her."

Bojing nodded. "I will."

Mingshen scoffed. "Sure. Go ahead and try. Just don’t come running to me crying when you face their people’s nasty gazes!"

He shut the door to his office with a loud bang.

Shilin blinked. "Boss is really in a bad mood today."
