Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

The intense desire to win instantly filled Xiao Bailu with fighting spirit: ”Huo Tingzun, you’re rich, you’re amazing, you can buy the air of an entire floor of the presidential suite, you’re really something. But... you can’t buy this elevator, I’ll use it if I want, and you can’t do anything about it!”

Saying this, Xiao Bailu unceremoniously stretched out her long fingers.

Pressing all the buttons in a whole row.

From the 1st floor to... the 88th floor!

Then.

The elevator stopped at every floor, swaying open for ten seconds, then closed and continued up.

The hotel’s elevators are like this, each floor takes particularly long to allow guests to load their luggage.

Huo Tingzun’s entire face was about to turn green.

He was already rushing to get back to his room, and being messed with by this woman, what would have taken a minute to get to the top floor now takes over ten minutes!

He glared at Xiao Bailu: ”Are you always this childish?”

Xiao Bailu thought for a moment: ”Normally I don’t act like this. Maybe sharing the air in an elevator with you has lowered my IQ.”

Huo Tingzun: ”...”

With a gloomy expression, he called his secretary: ”Find my eye drops and bring them to the elevator entrance, within a minute!”

As Xiao Bailu listened to his phone call, her expression changed: ”Is your old eye problem acting up again? Can’t see people clearly now?”

She scrutinized him for a few seconds, and only then noticed the severe redness in his eyes. Earlier, she thought it was because he was angry with her, but now it looked abnormal.

Huo Tingzun said nothing.

Xiao Bailu was also silent for a moment.

Then.

She rummaged through her bag and found a brand new box of imported eye drops, tossing it to him: ”Borrowing it to you.”

She coldly reminded him again: ”If you don’t use this within a minute, prepare to go blind.”

Huo Tingzun wanted to throw it back.

But the stabbing pain in his eyeballs grew more intense, and his vision became increasingly blurry.

He gritted his teeth and unscrewed the eye drop bottle cap.

The cool liquid dripped into his eyes, alleviating the burning sensation somewhat.

The two of them didn’t speak again.

Fifteen minutes later.

The elevator reached the top floor.

Huo Tingzun’s secretary stood trembling at the elevator entrance to greet him: ”Boss, I brought all your eye drops, there are over ten kinds, not sure which one you needed?”

Huo Tingzun, with a grim face: ”Not needed anymore.”

He stepped out of the elevator.

Xiao Bailu pouted in the elevator: ”Don’t even know how to say thank you?”

Huo Tingzun paused his steps.

Without turning around, his Adam’s apple moved slightly: ”Here’s a piece of advice, don’t do personal things at work, and definitely don’t fool around aimlessly. Otherwise, no one would hire an employee like you.”

”Hey, who are you to lecture me? I asked you to thank me, can’t you even say thank you? Give me back the eye drops, they’re expensive, don’t you understand, you ungrateful bastard!”

Xiao Bailu was practically fuming.

But, the elevator doors slowly closed.

And the man didn’t return her eye drops.

”Tch, does he think he’s some sort of emperor whose words are worth gold? Giving me advice? Sorry, not only are there people fighting to hire me, but I’m also employed at your law firm right now, Huo Tingzun, aren’t you embarrassed! Any place Xiao Bailu wants to enter, any task she wants to achieve, nothing is impossible, and I don’t need your advice!”

Outside the elevator.

Huo Tingzun glanced at the secretary holding a pile of eye drop bottles, saying coldly: ”Don’t come to work tomorrow.”

The secretary, terrified, dropped the bottles all over the floor: ”Boss, please don’t fire me, my whole family depends on this salary...”

Huo Tingzun: ”That’s your problem, not mine.”

Secretary: ”Boss, can I ask why?”

Huo Tingzun coldly said: ”Perhaps you should ask the person who placed you by my side, how much benefit did they offer you?”
