Chapter 7.05 – He took out…

Editor: DarkNaivety

Xiang Han was baffled, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was strange. Meng Ze had just been ‘engaging deeply’ with the female lead, and had even stared at her when she first appeared. How could he suddenly be gay?

Although the general was a closeted gay, he had no recollections of it and may have even been influenced by the plot. Just like before, when he called off the engagement because he thought he was straight, he might have been affected by the plot and developed feelings for the female lead. Even worse, he’d just admitted to pursuing Meng Ze in front of the female lead…

En, he gets it now. Meng Ze was most likely bluffing. He wanted to find an excuse to shake him off before courting the female lead.

Xiang Han had an expression of having figured out the truth. He secretly thought to himself: It’s useless. The female protagonist is now mine…ahem, my friend! You can’t covet your friend’s wife. She won’t love you.

Although he was almost certain of his guess, he still probed further. With a light cough, he lowered his voice and asked, “If… I’m a man, would you fall for me?”

Meng Ze pulled back his hand harshly and his gaze travelled from Xiang Han’s chest to his calves. He shook his head inwardly. Forget about the boobs, it’s not strange even if they were fake, but legs… what kind of man had such smooth and tender legs? He couldn’t be a transvestite, right?

With a frown, he swept a glance over Xiang Han’s face and was a little taken aback.

After drinking a little, Xiang Han’s expression carried a hint of tipsiness. His eyes were unfocused and his lips were slightly parted; it looked rather seductive.

Meng Ze stared for a while before coming back to his senses. Seeing that Xiang Han hadn’t yet sobered up, he let out a breath of relief before he said coldly, “You’re drunk.”

Although he had said what he said, he felt puzzled and couldn’t help wondering. Since Secretary Geng had even followed him to the restroom, was it possible for him to change his gender? Or was it that she used to be a man, but had transitioned to become a woman? No matter which it was, he knew for sure that he didn’t like transgenders.

Xiang Han watched him draw his hand back quickly and found the answer in his heart. He was right, Meng Ze was simply looking for an excuse to brush him off.

Hmph, it’s useless!

He laughed meekly and put a hand on Meng Ze’s shoulders, drawing closer before gently breathing into his ear. “President Meng, you haven’t answered my question.”

Meng Ze tensed for a moment. He shoved Xiang Han aside before stepping backwards and feigning indifference. “I might consider it if you’re DJ¹it’s a joke from the song 《如果我是DJ你会爱我吗》 (Will you love me if I was DJ?).”

With this, he turned and left, footsteps in disarray.

“Huh?” Xiang Han was flabbergasted. He didn’t expect the overbearing CEO to recite such a line.

However, recalling how the person had grabbed his arm after holding his d*ck without washing his hands, he couldn’t resist telling Meng Ze, whose back was turned to him, “President Meng, you haven’t washed your hand.”

Meng Ze stumbled for a second before he walked out quicker than before.

With great difficulty, Xiang Han solved his needs and drew out a long breath before hurrying back.

The banquet was coming to an end. Xiang Han saw Meng Ze intending to leave and quickly caught up.

Once outside the hotel, Meng Ze hesitated for a second before he suddenly said, “The chauffeur had something on and left earlier. You should take a cab back, the company will reimburse you.”

“Ah?” Xiang Han froze. “Is the car gone too?”

Meng Ze was silent. The car was still here, but judging from the degree of infatuation Secretary Geng had for him, there was an 80% chance it would cause some strange misunderstanding if he were to send her home. This woman could already do something like following him into the restroom. If a misunderstanding were to occur, would she undergo gender reassignment surgery…that would be troublesome.

Having one less matter was better than one more problem. Thus, Meng Ze hardened his heart. “That’s right. The car is gone.”

Xiang Han secretly thought to himself, who the hell are you trying to fool? The chauffeur abandoned his boss and drove off with the car? Does he not want his job anymore?

“But it’s already so late. Taking a cab alone… isn’t safe.” Xiang Han batted his lashes and acted pitiful.

As a result, Meng Ze nearly blurted out the words ‘I’ll send you home’ just as it reached the tip of his tongue. He forced himself to change it to ‘go take the train’ instead. He didn’t even wait before turning around to leave, only frowning after he had turned a corner.

Xiang Han watched dumbly as he walked away. A breeze passed by, causing him to feel miserable.

Xin Lu Yao and Jiang Yi had left soon after them and coincidentally witnessed this scene.

Shaking off Jiang Yi, Xin Lu Yao hurried over to comfort Xiang Han, “Han Han, we’ll give you a ride.”

Xiang Han was momentarily taken aback by her hospitality. But he soon returned to his senses and shook his head. “No need…”

“It’s fine. City A is so big and winding…” Xin Lu Yao continued to persuade him.

At this time, Jiang Yi also arrived with the car. “Hop on.”

Contrary to the female lead’s enthusiasm, what Jiang Yi was thinking was along the lines of: This person is Meng Ze’s secretary. Maybe I can get some information on the…tender?

Thinking of how the trains were stopping soon and that it would be difficult to get a ride in such a wealthy area, Xiang Han hesitated. In the end, he got on.

However, at this moment, Meng Ze walked back because he was feeling uneasy. Coincidentally, he saw Xiang Han get into Jiang Yi’s car, and his heart suddenly became conflicted.

Why should he care about a secretary who he just met a few days ago? Meng Ze felt that there was something wrong with his mentality, but he quickly found a reason for himself: Because Secretary Geng was in his competitor’s car, that’s why he was uncomfortable. That’s right, it must be the case!

Jiang Yi wanted to inquire about the tender from Xiang Han. Unfortunately, Xiang Han did not participate in the bidding project at all. In the end, not only did he learn nothing, he even offended his girlfriend.

Xin Lu Yao appeared quite carefree in front of Xiang Han, but once she saw him off, her expression immediately fell. She asked Jiang Yi angrily, “What the hell were you trying to do?”

Jiang Yi didn’t quite understand. Wasn’t it normal to want to inquire about his competitor?

However, Xin Lu Yao was evidently incensed. “Can’t you fight based on your ability? Han Han is my friend, yet you want to get information from her? Luckily she didn’t say anything, because if she really did, how can she continue to stay in Ze Yuan?”

Both their views conflicted; Jiang Yi was a shrewd businessman with his own means, but Xin Lu Yao couldn’t stand seeing such work ethics.

In the original plot, Meng Ze would act as a catalyst once a crack formed in their relationship. After a while, the two would eventually grow to understand each other.

However, now that Xiang Han was here, the conflict between them appeared much sooner than expected. Moreover, Meng Ze didn’t pursue the female lead as he did in the original plot, so the male lead didn’t feel threatened and actually entered a cold war with his girlfriend.

Xiang Han was naturally unaware of the change in events. After getting off work the next day, he clearly felt the cold indifference of his boss. When delivering a document, Meng Ze reminded him, “Yi Xin is our competitor. You better stay away from their people.”

Xiang Han immediately understood his words as: I’m chasing the female protagonist. You better not talk shit in front of her.

Immensely troubled, this was his first time doubting Big A’s words. What happened to the promise that ‘The general would definitely fall under your pants’. He’d already worked so hard to seduce him, yet Meng Ze remained unmoved.

Meanwhile, the reality was that Meng Ze was unsure of it himself. According to his usual style, he would have long fired a female subordinate who acted on her feelings and attempted to seduce him. However, he didn’t know how he had tolerated her, finding a different excuse each time. Excuses such as her skills were decent, the company is becoming busier, and how the other secretaries were on maternity leave.

The worst part was that after getting used to having Xiang Han deliver documents, he would feel unaccustomed whenever Nina came instead. He wouldn’t stop himself from wondering why Secretary Geng didn’t come.

Because of this, Meng Ze recently had a headache. He began to doubt himself: Could I be bisexual instead, and hadn’t met the right person yet?

“President Meng?” Assistant Fang, who was giving a report, couldn’t help reminding him.

Meng Ze abruptly returned to his senses and gave a low cough. “So the plot of land in the new residential district will be decided by ballot?”

“That’s right.” Assistant Fang replied cautiously, “This time, it’s entirely up to luck…”

At the auction a few days ago, the bidding prices for these several plots of land in the new residential district exceeded the maximum amount.To control the land price per regulations, a ballot would be used to determine ownership.

Assistant Fang was at a loss. After all, money was useless this time, and it all depended on luck.

Meng Ze’s attention was all on this plot of land. “It’ll be great if we can get it, but it doesn’t matter even if we can’t…” Saying so, he added, “But…it’s better to send an employee with better luck.”

Originally, Xiang Han didn’t participate in the ballot. But halfway through the lottery, a colleague lamented in the group about how after rolling for four plots, they had yet to win a single one.

Xiang Han somewhat pitied Meng Ze. The plot at Jing Biao belonged to the male lead, he was unlikely to get it. If they weren’t able to get a single piece of land from the ballot, they would simply become the biggest losers.

Thinking about the lucky charm in his space, he directly typed in the group chat: Wait for me, I’ll help you guys turn your luck around.

Everyone: “…”

Assistant Fang had thought it was only a passing remark. He never expected to receive a phone call later on, telling him that he was stuck outside.

Assistant Fang had no choice but to have someone go over and let him in.

Then, a miracle occurred.

When Xiang Han arrived, there were only four plots left. Afterwards, three of the four went to Ze Yuan.

His colleagues were all stunned. Even the staff were flabbergasted while everyone gritted their teeth: Suspicious! He must have done something shady!

But after thinking about it carefully, everyone thought it wasn’t possible. Who would dare take three consecutive plots of land? Too suspicious!

When he returned to the company once more, Assistant Fang praised Xiang Han excessively before suggesting, “There’ll be an auction for the branch company in Nang Cheng next month. They haven’t been able to obtain a single piece of land for a long while, why don’t we have Secretary Geng go over? With her good luck, she’ll definitely reap some gains.”

Meng Ze: “…”

“Let’s talk about it later. In a few days, there’ll be a bid for the plot of land at the financial centre. Have her come with me.” He tried to force his tone to appear neutral; It wasn’t that he was superstitious, rather, he was just being business-minded and looking for reassurance.

After learning about his responsibilities, Xiang Han immediately burned incense to cleanse himself and used two consecutive luck charms.

On the day of the bid. After the other party went through some details, the evaluator hesitated between Ze Yuan and Yi Xin. Nervous, Xiang Han lit another lucky charm.

The evaluator pondered for a long time before deciding. “In fact, both are good. Why don’t you two jointly launch it?”

Ze Yuan was willing to spend money, so its quality was guaranteed. Meanwhile, Yi Xin’s design was good, and thus, more attractive. It would definitely be best if both could complement each other.

In the end, under the coordination of the evaluator, the project was given to Ze Yuan, but they were required to jointly develop it alongside Yi Xin.

Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He was actually not very confident about going against Ze Yuan. He was already satisfied with getting part of the development rights.

Meng Ze’s thoughts couldn’t be any more different from his.

Originally, he found that this piece of land was already too restrictive and difficult to develop, so it wouldn’t be easy to make a profit. Had it not been for the landmarks around that were sufficiently well known, he wouldn’t have spent so much effort. It was inevitable to feel uncomfortable after spending such a high price, only to have others enjoy a share of the pie.

Xiang Han couldn’t help shaking his head when he saw it. According to the plot, this land should have been obtained by the male lead. Now, it’s already a success to resist the original plot and win the leading development rights to this piece of land.

Although Meng Ze wasn’t satisfied with the result, everyone had been busy with this matter for a long time, so it was worth celebrating. That evening, Meng Ze booked a room for everyone to have dinner and celebrate.

Xiang Han was now jokingly called the “Lucky Star” of the company. Everyone gave him a toast during dinner and as a result, he accidentally drank too much.

On such occasions, Meng Ze usually only enjoys a few glasses at the beginning. After giving a few encouraging words, he would leave. But this time, he had something to discuss with Assistant Fang regarding the business trip that was meant to happen the next day, so he stayed a little longer.

As he was leaving, he decided to take a trip to the restroom. Just like before, he had just solved his needs when the same incident occurred.

Xiang Han abruptly pushed the door open and walked in with stilettos and a black pantsuit.

Meng Ze wasn’t surprised nor startled. He only felt a headache.

Here it is again. Why was this person… so stubborn? He had already rejected her so firmly, but she refused to give up and even followed him to the restroom. What on earth is she planning?

He turned slightly so that his back was facing Xiang Han, and said with a frown, “You…”

Before the word ‘you’ was completed, he noticed that Xiang Han’s drunk walk wasn’t steady and it was as if he hadn’t seen him. Meng Ze couldn’t help but be stunned.

History was repeating itself, but the ending had obviously changed. Meng Ze watched as this person staggered to his side, undid his belt, unzipped his pants, and took out…

It was followed by the sound of water. When it finally stopped, Meng Ze had turned foolish.

A certain person shook himself and tucked it back very skilfully. Then, he lifted his pants and staggered out, without saying a word to him throughout the whole process. To be precise, that person didn’t even look at him, and wasn’t aware that he was standing next to him.

Meng Ze was dumbfounded. His mind was chaotic and he couldn’t help but start to doubt life.

After returning to his senses, he realised he was so shocked that he had accidentally wet a part of his pants and his expression suddenly twisted.

T/n: I just know there’s a gif like this where a guy sees a girl using the urinal and his eyes goes wide and pees himself. But I don’t dare to google it for fear of seeing something p0rny

P/R: It’s okay! I’m sure everyone will replicate that gif after reading this chapter.
