Chapter 46: Stunning Everyone, Slapping Faces, Two Men Fighting for One Woman

Director Li was stunned by Xu Jiaojiao’s words. Her expression turned ashen, her neck reddened, and her voice became sharp and piercing. “Xu Jiaojiao, if you can’t do it, don’t waste everyone’s time.”

“Can such a matter be treated lightly?” she added.

Xie Zhi looked surprised and pressed his lips together, asking, “Jiaojiao, are you sure you can do it?”

“Trust me,” the girl replied confidently, winking playfully.

On the side, a female colleague had long been uncomfortable with Xu Jiaojiao’s words. Why did both such handsome men pay attention to her? Handsome men were rare enough, and she disdainfully said, “Hmph, I think someone is just bluffing.”

“At the end of the day, it’ll be you who looks foolish.”

“Exactly, can you not disturb our work?”

Shen Guanqi tugged at her sleeve, his delicate face full of worry. “Sister, are you sure you’re okay?”

Xu Jiaojiao turned her head, giving a faint smile. Her confident gaze swept over the crowd, especially those who had mocked her earlier. She then picked up the document from the folder and sat at the computer, typing each word one by one.

Her fair fingers danced quickly across the keyboard, as if performing a graceful dance. Her eyes moved back and forth between the screen and the document, without needing to glance at the keyboard at all.

The crowd quickly looked at the computer screen, feeling cold sweat rising in their hearts. The text on the screen matched the document perfectly, with a typing speed of 200 words per minute—something even professional typists couldn’t achieve. The onlookers were left speechless in awe.

Especially Director Li and the few colleagues who had mocked her, their faces were full of panic, showing an expression of disbelief. How could she, a country girl, not only know foreign languages but also use a computer so effortlessly?

Jealousy began to deepen in their hearts.

Xie Zhi’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed in an instant, and he smiled proudly, watching Jiaojiao. What else could she not do?

Shen Guanqi’s eyes sparkled with amusement, and he grinned, praising her in a playful tone, “Sister, you’re amazing.”

“You’re even faster than the typists.”

Xie Zhi shot him an annoyed look, his eyelashes fluttering in irritation. This man was so eager to one-up him with every compliment, it really annoyed him. He wondered why he had been so kind to him when they were younger.

In less than five minutes, Xu Jiaojiao had already finished typing the first document. At this pace, she would finish all the documents in less than an hour.

Realizing this, Director Li’s expression finally eased. Though she was still unhappy that Xu Jiaojiao had taken away her beloved nephew, she was relieved that Jiaojiao was able to resolve her work problems efficiently.

Xu Jiaojiao remained calm and focused, the light from the computer screen illuminating her face, allowing everyone to notice the fine peach fuzz on her cheeks. Xie Zhi was too afraid to breathe, fearing that he would disturb such a beautiful sight.

As the minutes passed, everyone was captivated by her typing. Some of the colleagues even came over to watch, and soon, her name was spreading throughout the entire studio.

A woman who was both talented and beautiful was a rare sight.

After typing the last word, Xu Jiaojiao instinctively hit the keyboard with a satisfying tap, smiling leisurely as she stretched her body, looking like a cat who had just stolen a fish. She was undeniably adorable.

“I’m done.”

Director Li carefully scrolled through the screen with the mouse, her face filled with admiration. “Not bad, Comrade Xu, you’re really impressive. I just don’t know how you learned to use a computer.”

The truth was, it wasn’t that she was curious; it was simply that there were so few people who could use computers at the time.

Xu Jiaojiao flashed a sweet smile. “I learned it in my dreams. I practiced it countless times in my dreams.”

“In your dreams!!!”

“Oh my God, is she serious?”

Her words struck a nerve with everyone. They had worked hard for years, learning to type and compete for the typing job, yet she had simply learned it in her dreams. There was no other explanation.

Xie Zhi affectionately ruffled her hair, his face full of love. “Jiaojiao, you’re amazing.”

Xu Jiaojiao stood up awkwardly, not used to showing affection in public. She shyly took Xie Zhi’s hand, and the two walked out, with Shen Guanqi trailing silently behind them.

His face was filled with jealousy. He envied Xie Zhi for having Jiaojiao’s love and was even more upset that he wasn’t the one beside her.

Watching them whispering to each other, Xie Zhi smiled softly, his kiss falling gently on Jiaojiao’s lips. Her hair, her gaze—everything about her was so captivating, and her eyes seemed to be locked on him, fluttering like she was shy.

He bent down to whisper in her ear, “Jiaojiao, you’re so beautiful.”

Shen Guanqi forcibly squeezed between them, pretending to be casual as he smiled, though his face darkened as he looked at Xie Zhi. “Sister, what are you two so happy about?”

Then, in a split second, before anyone could react, he leaned against her cheek, his voice low as he whispered, “So soft.”

Xie Zhi yanked Shen Guanqi away with a violent force, his eyes burning with fury, his entire aura terrifying. “What the hell are you doing?”

Shen Guanqi slammed his head against the nearby wall, feeling dizzy for a moment. He rubbed his forehead and provocatively looked at Xie Zhi. “Brother, are you angry?”

“Sister isn’t yours. As long as she’s not married, I still have a chance.”

Seeing that Shen Guanqi was still so persistent, Xie Zhi’s stomach churned with disgust. He gritted his teeth and spat out, “She’s mine. We’ll get married one day. What are you trying to do, be a third wheel?”

Xu Jiaojiao, seeing the impending fight, rushed forward to stop Xie Zhi, afraid that they would cause a scene. That would be far too embarrassing and uncivilized.

Luckily, they were currently in the hallway; otherwise, a crowd of onlookers would have gathered.

Shen Guanqi puffed out his chest, his eyes bloodshot, yet still so handsome. He looked pitiful, like an abandoned pet. “Only the unloved ones are third wheels. Sister, do you really want to marry him?”

Xu Jiaojiao: “………”

What kind of outrageous statement was that?

This remark struck a nerve with Xie Zhi, as Jiaojiao had rejected his marriage proposal before. He almost grabbed Shen Guanqi’s chin, snarling, “She’s mine. We are already in a relationship.”

Shen Guanqi chuckled, his eyes narrowing with amusement. “Looks like you’ve been rejected.”

“Enough, are you done?” Xu Jiaojiao said, glaring at the two men. “Where are we, making a scene like this is so embarrassing. Take it home if you want to fight.” She walked away with a determined step, her high heels clicking sharply on the floor.

Xie Zhi shot a warning look at Shen Guanqi, who winced and rubbed his chin, then hurried to catch up with Jiaojiao.

Shen Guanqi, unwilling to back down, stuck closely to her side, his voice full of pitiful pleading. “Sister, it hurts so much.”

Xu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes but softened a little. Handsome men always seemed to get away with more, and she couldn’t help but feel a little sorry when she saw the red mark on his chin.

She glanced at Xie Zhi and then at the boy who was now pretending to be weak. With a long sigh, she spoke seriously, “Guanqi, I think of you as a brother.”

“Xie Zhi is my partner. While we’re not planning to get married yet, our relationship won’t change. And what you did just now was way out of line.”

Hearing this, Xie Zhi felt a complicated mix of emotions. At least Jiaojiao had acknowledged their relationship, and that was enough for him.

Shen Guanqi stubbornly closed his eyes, a tear slipping down his cheek. At that moment, he seemed extraordinarily fragile. He opened his eyes, forced a smile, and said, “Sister, rejecting me is your decision, but pursuing you is mine.”

Xu Jiaojiao’s mind exploded with realization. Now she understood why the male lead could have both a white moonlight and a red mole while still being involved with others. The impact was just too strong—who could resist that?

Xie Zhi snorted, fully aware of Shen Guanqi’s little tricks, but Jiaojiao seemed to enjoy them. He wondered if he should learn from him.

Xu Jiaojiao, playing the elder role, rubbed the boy’s head awkwardly, forcing a smile. “You have the right to do that.”

Shen Guanqi immediately broke into a smile, his eyes lighting up. “Sister, does this mean you agree to let me pursue you?”

Xu Jiaojiao: “………”

“I never said that.”

“I know what you mean, sister. I understand.” The boy grinned, looking pleased with himself.
