The Queen’s Gigolo

What truly made Guo Zhi surprised was, the department’s deputy chief silently told her after it happened that the one who told big boss Jing to leave her on charge of that project was Gu Qing Xia.

Gu Qing Xia huh, she looks like a cold beauty that is hard to approach, who would’ve thought that she is actually a kind person. From that time on, Guo Zhi started to become close to Gu Qing Xia, until they became friends.

Ever since then, Vivian never gave her another project to work on, and Liu Chan Yue, who always fought with her to get projects, became Vivian’s favorite editor. The two also probably got a long with each other, biting others in unison. And just like that, Gu Qing Xia and her, Vivian and Liu Chan Yue, these four women became opponent groups.

These years, the number of disgusting things that Liu Chan Yue did were not few. The discord between them also caused headaches to boss Xu. But there was no way to solve it since she did not get along with that trash.

And today, she would have never thought that Liu Chan Yue would have the opportunity to make her feel so disgusted.

As she kept thinking about it, she felt her anger rising…

She washed her hands for a long time before drying them and going out.

Just outside of the bathroom, she saw Alex leaning on a wall and waiting for her. When he saw that she came out, he hurriedly stood up: “Sister Guo…” He was hesitant to speak and seemed to not know what to say. His eyes were filled with a hint of confusion.

She watched the doubt and confusion in his eyes and her heart suddenly softened.

He is still a half-grown kid. What else could he have done when he encountered someone like Liu Chan Yue? Guo Zhi had heard about the matters between Liu Chan Yue and the models. She had also scoffed at it and believed that her means were underhanded. What was the point of doing that matter between men and women if one of the parties were not willing?

Guo Zhi breathed in and said: “Follow me.” The entrance to the bathroom was not a good place to talk. It was easy to be eavesdropped on.

Her facial expression was serious, and Alex kept up with her while feeling anxious.

There were many people in the photo studio. He had only coincidentally encountered Liu Chan Yue and spoke a few words with her. Liu Chan Yue wanted to sleep with him once more. Truthfully speaking, he was not willing to. However, he also did not want to offend Liu Chan Yue. As he was thinking very hard to find a way to refuse her politely without offending her, Guo Zhi appeared.

He did not think that he would be that unlucky.

Guo Zhi was definitely angry; he could feel it. He wanted to explain, but he did not know how to start. That was because everything that she had heard were real.

Alex was not a child who was good at lying.

Guo Zhi brought Alex to a corner where there was no one, stopped, and turned around.

“Did you sleep with Liu Chan Yue?” She stared at him and asked.

Alex gave a muffled ‘um’. It was a silent yes.

Even though she had long understood that the answer was set, Guo Zhi still felt stuffed when she personally heard Alex admit it. Her gaze moved away from Alex’s face and moved to another place for a moment. There was short moment of silent awkwardness between them.

After some time, she licked her lower lip, and tsked. Her gaze returned and she called his name. she asked: “What do you want to get from me?”

Alex did not think that she would ask so directly, opened his mouth, but was not able to say anything.

“Alex.” Guo Zhi stared at him, “tell me the truth.”

Alex couldn’t stand her stare. He lowered his head, and murmured: “That… Sheng Yuan’s project…” However, he had already heard before that Guo Zhi was already done with the auditions for that project today. The fact that she had not called him for the audition meant that she had not taken him into consideration.

If he said that he was not disappointed, he would be lying. When Alex heard about it, he felt disappointed in his heart.

“You’re really good at getting information huh…” Guo Zhi coldly laughed, and her tone seemed to carry mockery. Alex did not know if he was overthinking. Ever since he became acquainted with her, Guo Zhi had never been so cold to him.

This made him feel terrified.

The young boy had his head lowered and looked at the tip of his shoes. He was like a little student that had done something wrong.

Guo Zhi’s anger had nowhere to be vented on, so she could only soften her heart.

Never mind, why get angry at him? Ever since he started approaching me, I already knew that he had a goal. It was me who acted as if I didn’t know anything so that I could take advantage of him.

What she was angry about was not that he approached her with a goal in mind, or that he had slept with another woman. What really made her angry was that the one whom he had slept with was Liu Chan Yue.

And that, was something that had nothing to do with him. If they had to talk seriously, she was only taking out her anger on him by relation.

After going through it in her heart, she got back her reason, and the anger in her heart dispersed.

Looking at the 187cm big boy that shrunk like a quail in front of her, she felt like she had been a bit excessive.

It’s just a half-grown boy that doesn’t understand anything yet and that is struggling to survive in the capital. Just like when he wanted to toast to me, he had hesitated to do so because he was afraid to make me drink more. He wants Sheng Yuan’s project and has even slept with me already. He did not even open his mouth to mention it despite me doing the auditions today.

Thinking like that, she started to feel that he was pitiful again. Apart from pity, she also felt anger because of his lack of action. You sacrificed your body and still did not get it done! Your capability to get things done is terrible!

In the end, the anger that she held off was transformed into a sigh.

“Alex,” she said, “if there is a similar situation in the future, and you feel that you are appropriate, you can tell me directly and don’t have to do these things. The efficiency is much higher than going around in circles.”

Alex mouth moved a bit and he mumbled unintelligible words with his head lowered, but even then, since he was handsome, he still looked pitiful and cute.

Guo Zhi discovered that she was possessed by a lover of beauties and could not even become angry at him anymore. She was dejected for a moment. After a while, she spoke: “Wait for a notice.”

Alex raised his head surprised, unbelieving.

“I am very clear on how your body is, that is why I did not call you for the auditions. You were always included in the list of people that I was thinking on selecting.” Guo Zhi said that and bypassed him to leave.

“Sister Guo!” Alex called once. Seeing that she did not pay attention to him, he grabbed her hand in anxiousness and called again: “Guo Zhi!”

Guo Zhi.

Guo Zhi.

Guo Zhi.

Intertwined bodies.

Once and another time. One sound and another.

Guo Zhi paused, turned around and lifted her eyes to look at him with a serious gaze: “Let go.”

She said: “Working place.” The rest of the sentence did not need to be said, she knew that Alex would understand.

Alex immediately let go. He had always been obedient and had never gone against Guo Zhi.

“Alex,” she looked at the boy in front of her, hardened her heart, and said, “don’t send me messages on WeChat in the future.”

After saying that, she left him alone.

Alex did not dare to chase her. If he continued chasing in that direction, it was likely that other people would see them. If it happened, Guo Zhi would be angry. He stood in the same place, biting his lips, and his eyes were dim.

Guo Zhi broke her relationship with Alex in one cut, but her heart did not feel happy. Even though it was short, she was happy during the moments she spent with him.

But who told him to be so stupid and sleep with Liu Chan Yue! Why did it have to be Liu Chan Yue!

It made Guo Zhi have the feeling of eating something sweet, but suddenly finding poop in it.

She sprinted to the photo studio, picked up her things, and prepared to return to the company. Her phone sounded once, and she opened WeChat. Gu Qing Xia had sent her a message to notify her: [Don’t forget, 7 at night.]

She almost forgot about it! She had agreed to meet with her at night to eat!

Her mood was not good, and she dejectedly replied with a [Um.]

The meeting time was 7 o’clock. She had to go from the company, and Gu Qing Xia had to go directly from where she was with the client. The restaurant was close to the company. She arrived first and laid on the table.

“What happened?” Gu Qing Xia immediately noticed that her mood was not right after she sat down.

“Annoyed.” She was mournful.

Gu Qing Xia raised her hand to tell the waiter to bring the menu and casually said: “Are you still okay with the little fresh meat?”

Guo Zhi asked gloomily: “How did you know?” She definitely had not mentioned it to other people. Even for Qing Xia, she had only sent her two modeling photos of Alex wearing clothes and making poses.

“I guessed.” Gu Qing Xia leaned on the back of the chair.

Guo Zhi choked and depressingly said after a moment: “Am I very foolish?”

Gu Qing Xia lifted a cup and drank a sip of warm lemon water. She put it down, lifted her eyes and looked at the person that she considered her only friend: “I don’t think so.”

Guo Zhi moaned with a face that was spread out on the table like mud: “You can’t console my soul that has taken damage.”

Her teasing made Gu Qing Xia laugh. She received the menu that was handed by the waiter and ordered some food, all of which were Guo Zhi’s favorite. Guo Zhi regained her spirit and her liveliness recovered.

“Tell me about it.” Gu Qing Xia returned the menu to the waiter, “what happened?”

“Didn’t you guess it already?” Guo Zhi rested her chin on the table and continued to lay there.

“You slept with him?”

“Hm.” Guo Zhi moved her face down.

“Then?” Gu Qing Xia lifted her cup.

Guo Zhi deeply felt ashamed and said depressingly with her head facing down: “Then… I found out that he had also slept with Liu Chan Yue…”

Pfft! Gu Qing Xia almost choked to death!

“Hey!” Gu Qing Xia’s face was dark.

Hearing Liu Chan Yue’s name, she strongly understood Guo Zhi’s feeling of finding poop in a sweet candy. Gu Qing Xia unkindly laughed out loud.

Under Guo Zhi’s glare, the big beauty held back her laugh, and comforted the woman with a serious face: “No problem… the little fresh meat is tall, has long legs and muscles. It doesn’t matter if he has slept with her.”

Speaking about little fresh meat, Guo Zhi pitifully said: “That little rascal, why did he have to be so stupid? He slept with her out of all of them! I can’t believe he had the appetite to eat!”

“Anyways, I definitely will not sleep with him ever again.” She said with confidence.

“What did he want?” Gu Qing Xia asked the most important question.

Guo Zhi sighed: “He wanted to be part of Sheng Yuan’s project…”

Gu Qing Xia recalled the photos that Guo Zhi had sent her before and nodded: “He is appropriate for it.”

Guo Zhi sighed twice: “I was originally already considering him! Among all the people, his vibes were the most fitting! If he wanted the job, he could’ve recommended himself without problems. After going around in circles, he made me think that my spring time had come…”

The appetizer came. Gu Qing Xia held her laugh and lifted her chopsticks: “Okay, quickly let the roasted preserved egg heal your damaged soul then!”

Guo Zhi’s spirit got better, held her chopsticks, and did not forget to tell the waiter: “Bring the dry pot chicken faster please… no, no, don’t be fast, do it like normal, but add more bamboo shoots…”

Food lovers were easily healed just like that.

As for the little fresh meat? Hmph, Guo Zhi sent Alex to the back of her mind.

For Guo Zhi, life’s most important thing was work and then food. The rest, such as love, were placed at the back.

Alex… even does not count as love. It was only a round of sexual release and nothing more. Once she said she would let go of it, Guo Ye would definitely let go.
