Everyone in the Group is a Main Character, Except Me Who's the Villain

134: You should find a boyfriend.Fang Ming was brief and to the point. Ye Nuannuan didn’t know Fang Ming was right beside her, and his words left her a bit stunned, unable to react immediately.

Li Jun was a master’s degree holder who had studied abroad. He was tall, handsome, and there were at least a dozen girls pursuing him.

How could he be gay??

[Abusive Novels Naive Flower (Private Chat)]: ”Group Leader Brother, although I really don’t like him, he doesn’t look like it...”

[Nameless Guide (Private Chat)]: ”Bisexual. It’s not apparent on the surface.”

[Abusive Novels Naive Flower (Private Chat)]: ”Oh, oh, I see.”

Chengdu was the city with the highest proportion of gay people in the country, and Fang Ming was a god-like figure in her mind. Since Fang Ming said so, it must be true.

Ye Nuannuan didn’t doubt him for a second. A wave of disgust washed over her, and the look in her eyes when she glanced at Li Jun instantly changed.

Li Jun was completely unaware of this. All he knew was that while many guys pursued Ye Nuannuan, he had the advantage of proximity. Being at Yunlan International, he was the most competitive contender; even those top-tier rich second-generation heirs didn’t have as good a chance as he did.

”Assistant Ye, did your work go smoothly today?” Li Jun wore a proper smile on his face, his voice gentle.

Ye Nuannuan snapped back to reality: ”It... it was fine, thank you for your concern, Director Li.”

After saying this, she remembered Fang Ming’s words and couldn’t help but glance at Li Jun’s hands.

His fingers were long and clean, his nails neatly trimmed... She quickly lowered her gaze, feeling a bit strange inside.

”Are you free this weekend? A friend of mine just opened a new gallery. The ambiance is nice, and I heard there are some works by emerging artists that are quite inspired. I wonder if I’d have the honor of inviting you to go take a look?”

The invitation was well-phrased. Using art as a pretext, it didn’t seem overly eager yet indicated an intention beyond that of ordinary colleagues.

Beside them, Meng Zhiming’s eyes flickered slightly. He lowered his head to take a sip of soup and didn’t interject.

Ye Nuannuan’s heart skipped a beat, not from attraction but from nervousness: ”I’m really sorry, Director Li, I already have plans for this weekend!”

Rejected?

The smile on Li Jun’s face remained unchanged: ”Is it a personal matter? Or... is there some urgent work from the company?”

”It’s... some personal matters I need to take care of.”

After speaking, Ye Nuannuan hurriedly added: ”And... Director Li, I currently... am not considering personal relationships for the time being. I just want to focus on my work first.”

This was the truth.

Before coming to Chengdu, she was just a coffee shop worker, hustling every day for a few measly coins.

Asking her to appreciate some art exhibition? In her view, it would be more practical to go eat some spicy hot pot.

Moreover, Fang Ming’s words were still echoing in her ears. How could she possibly go on a solo date with Li Jun?

A flicker of disappointment passed through Li Jun’s eyes, but to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor, he nodded.

”I understand. It’s good that Assistant Ye prioritizes her career, especially since she’s new to the company. Well... we can talk about it another time when there’s an opportunity.”

”Thank you for understanding, Director Li.” Ye Nuannuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

After that, the atmosphere became somewhat subtle.

Li Jun and Meng Zhiming occasionally chatted about Marketing Department business, while Ye Nuannuan ate quietly, occasionally whispering a word or two to Xiao Ai beside her.

Not far away, while listening to Lu Ping gossip about Yunlan International, Fang Ming glanced at Li hansome out of the corner of his eye, a faint, elusive smile playing on his lips... The afternoon passed uneventfully.

Fang Ming familiarized himself with the daily workflow of the Administration Department, helped Lu Ping with photocopying and filing a few documents, and was basically getting the hang of things.

With his exceptional memory and the assistance of functions like the Chat Group scan and computer connectivity, in theory, he could finish a day’s work in at most half an hour.

But to avoid drawing attention, Fang Ming decided to slack off during the day and handle work tasks just before getting off work.

Approaching six o’clock, almost time to leave, Fang Ming had just finished processing the documents when Qin Xiao sent a picture of an ’envelope’.

It was followed by a message.

[Qin Xiao]: ”This is the key to the apartment next door to Ye Nuannuan’s. I left it at the entrance of Jinjiang Courtyard. Go pick it up after work and move in tonight.”

[Ming]: ”Okay!”

Qin Xiao’s influence was vast, so it wasn’t surprising he could find out Ye Nuannuan’s address. But judging by this, was he trying to engineer a chance encounter between himself and Ye Nuannuan?

Shaking his head, he couldn’t be bothered to think about it. Anyway, the tasks the other party gave didn’t conflict with his own interests. He’d just follow Qin Xiao’s arrangements.

He packed up his things, getting ready to leave. Just then, whispers arose from the workstations near the floor-to-ceiling windows.

”What’s going on downstairs? So lively?”

”Looks like someone set up a lot of flowers!”

”Wow, is it a confession?”

”Who is it? Making such a big scene?”

Hearing these voices, other curious colleagues couldn’t help but rush towards the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Fang Ming was also a bit curious and followed them to look down from the window.

The square in front of Yunlan International’s entrance was now decorated like a small sea of flowers.

Hundreds of champagne roses and white lilies were arranged into a giant heart shape. On the ground, petals spelled out the words ”I ♦ YOU”.

A brand new Porsche 911 was parked nearby, its hood sprinkled with rose petals.

A young man, dressed in a flamboyant pink shirt with slicked-back hair, stood in the center of the heart-shaped flower arrangement, holding a large bouquet of Ecuadorian Roses. A small sound system beside him played sickeningly sweet love songs.

Several men in black suits, who looked like Bodyguards, stood around maintaining order, but this only attracted more passersby to stop and watch.

Fang Ming found it a bit absurd. Confessing to a girl should be a natural progression, not a forced transaction. This kind of confession method easily puts the girl on the spot, under immense pressure.

However, in this building, besides the female lead Ye Nuannuan, there was also the suspected female lead Mu Qingxue. With a confession scene like this, problems were bound to arise. So, should he go down and check out the commotion?

Thinking this, Fang Ming had already made a decision in his heart... Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office.

Mu Qingxue was reviewing a quarterly financial report.

Xiao Ai pushed the door open, and the noise from the Administration Department reached her ears.

Mu Qingxue frowned slightly: ”Xiao Ai, what’s happening outside? Why is it so noisy?”

Xiao Ai had obviously already inquired. Her expression was a bit helpless: ”It’s downstairs... someone is making a big confession scene. There are flowers all over the ground, a sports car parked, music playing... it’s drawn a big crowd.”

”A confession?” Mu Qingxue’s frown deepened, a name instantly flashing in her mind: ”Is it Ye Nuannuan again?”

”Probably.” Xiao Ai nodded: ”I heard it’s the young master of the Wei Family, Wei Wenbin.”

Mu Qingxue was silent for two seconds, then picked up the landline on the desk and dialed a short number: ”Assistant Ye, come to my office.”

A few minutes later, Ye Nuannuan knocked and entered.

She was wearing a beige-white office dress today, her hair neatly combed again, exuding the efficiency of a CEO’s assistant.

”CEO Mu, you wanted to see me?”

”Sit.” Mu Qingxue gestured to the chair opposite the desk and got straight to the point: ”That Wei Wenbin downstairs, he’s here for you, right?”

Ye Nuannuan bit her lower lip and nodded: ”I’m sorry, CEO Mu, I’ve caused trouble for the company again...”

”Trouble isn’t quite the word.”

Mu Qingxue leaned back slightly, looking at her calmly: ”But Nuannuan, this isn’t the first time since you joined the company. I know it’s not your fault.”

”You’re beautiful and have a good personality, so it’s normal for people to pursue you. But the current situation is already affecting the company’s normal work order and causing you a lot of distress yourself. This can’t go on long-term.”

”But CEO Mu,” Ye Nuannuan still bit her lip, ”I... I really don’t know what to do. I’ve made it very clear to all of them that I just want to focus on my work right now and don’t want to date, but they seem... not to listen.”

”How about... you get a boyfriend.”

”A... boyfriend??”
