It’s not like I would delay her studies just because I took Su Xueyi out to play! Sun Lang explained, “I just want to go back and bring the car over. It’ll make it easier for her to commute to and from work!”
Is Sun Lang planning to stay here for a while? That won’t do! He still needs to check out the Weekend Competition and the Fishing Spots. Da Gui Wang has sent him several locations, and he has to visit each one!
Going back for the car? What did Su Xueyi say to you? Shi Tian asked, staring at Sun Lang while secretly calculating how to keep him occupied this week so he wouldn’t return until next week.
Su Xueyi didn’t mention much; she just thought it would be more convenient since she spends a lot of time commuting after work. Plus, I asked her, and she has a driver’s license. Even if I don’t have time to drive her, she can drive herself back!
Hearing this, Shi Tian couldn’t help but curse under his breath about Sun Lang being a sycophant! Su Xueyi is a sweet and simple girl with a good personality. But if you keep being such a sycophant, when will you ever get serious?
Pursuing a girl requires some skill. Let me give you an example! Leaning on the counter, Shi Tian took a sip of water and said, “Suppose you and Su Xueyi planned to have dinner together, but at three in the afternoon, she suddenly calls to say she can’t make it. How would you respond?”
This was an old cliché; it seemed Sun Lang had never encountered it before. Even if he had, he probably forgot all about it, especially when it came to Su Xueyi!
After Shi Tian asked, Sun Lang answered without hesitation, “Since she called, there must be a reason. We can just reschedule for another time! What else can I say?”
Seeing Sun Lang’s response, Shi Tian smiled slightly and said, “You would definitely say that. You’d tell her to go ahead and take care of whatever she needs to do! We’ll just plan for next time, right?”
Sun Lang nodded, but Shi Tian shook his head and pretended to be profound. “What effect does that kind of response have? Do you think Su Xueyi will be touched by your understanding? And then what?”
Shi Tian rolled his eyes at Sun Lang and chuckled, “Honestly, being stood up feels pretty bad. I booked a restaurant three days in advance for our dinner date, prepared flowers, and even bought a new outfit! But since you have your reasons, I understand. So as punishment, you’ll bring me a lovely breakfast tomorrow morning! What do you think of that?”
Seeing Sun Lang standing there dumbfounded without saying anything, Shi Tian gently encouraged him: “It’s the same situation; it’s just expressed differently. The effect is completely different—that’s the art of language! Remember this ambiance! Pursuing girls requires some flair!”
Shi Tian’s words left Sun Lang stunned. Can it really be said that way? It seems like that approach could work pretty well! Should he ask Su Xueyi out now? The problem is he had never been stood up himself! No way; he needed to consult Shi Tian first!
“Boss, should I ask Su Xueyi out right now? But she has never stood me up before! How can I make her stand me up?” Sun Lang earnestly sought advice from Shi Tian.
Sun Lang’s question left Shi Tian with a face full of black lines!
You need to be flexible; you have to learn on the go! You can’t just apply things rigidly!
Take getting the car as an example: find a day when it looks like it might rain. Then ride your bike to take her home—don’t rush; take your time. If necessary, buy her some milk tea or ice cream along the way! Just make sure you both get caught in the rain so you end up looking like drowned rats!
Then the next day when you pick her up again after driving back all night with the car, casually mention how you feel guilty for making her get soaked in the rain. You’ll promise not to let her get wet again in the future—won’t that have an effect?
As Shi Tian spoke here, he thought about how he still needed someone at the shop during the day! After enjoying two leisurely days, having him wake up at four in the morning to open up shop for an entire day would indeed be quite troublesome!
Hiring three employees wouldn’t work either! If Su Xueyi got hired? Then Sun Lang would definitely run away! This still needed to come down hard on Sun Lang!
What are you looking at? Did you even hear what I just said? Do you still want to pursue Su Xueyi? Shi Tian frowned as he saw Sun Lang fiddling with his phone.
“I’m checking the weather forecast! No rain this week; there might be rain on Tuesday though—who knows if it’s accurate!” Without lifting his head from his phone screen as he spoke back casually while downloading other weather forecast apps on social media—he had to make sure everything was foolproof!
Well, you're quite the action-oriented person! When is it ever a bad time to check the weather forecast? You can take your time to look it up when you get home. But let me get to the point!
A few days ago, didn’t you mention giving Su Xueyi a raise? I thought about it while I was home these past couple of days. It’s definitely not feasible to give her a direct raise, but there are alternative methods—though it will require some effort on your part!
What kind of person is Su Xueyi? She dresses simply, yet always looks neat and tidy. It’s clear she’s someone who strives for excellence. A person like her wouldn’t accept charity, would she?
If you were to put Sun Lang's salary under Su Xueyi's name, she would quit immediately, and Sun Lang would probably lose her for good!
What kind of effort are we talking about? It’s not a big deal to put in some work, but can this actually work? Hearing Shi Tian say this, Sun Lang frowned and asked.
After spending so many days together, he had gotten to know Su Xueyi somewhat. Even though he brought her breakfast every day, she insisted on transferring the money back to him. Whether it was for a cup of milk tea or an ice cream, they always took turns treating each other.
Why don’t you cover for Su Xueyi at work? Doesn’t she only work four days a week? Who will cover for her on the other three days? Can’t you help her out just this once? After you cover for her, I’ll give her that salary as holiday pay or a bonus. What do you think?
Seeing Shi Tian’s true intentions revealed, Sun Lang stood up and said, “Is it really that troublesome? I can just give you the money directly, and you can pass it on to her that way. Are you trying to make me do all the heavy lifting?”
Sun Lang might not be the most emotionally intelligent person, but he was still sharp enough to catch on. Once Shi Tian suggested this, he sensed something was off!
To get close to Su Xueyi, he had been waking up at four in the morning every day and wouldn’t return home until eight or nine at night. Just when he finally had some free time during the day, Shi Tian wanted him to work then too—how could that possibly work?
Faced with Sun Lang’s reaction, Shi Tian awkwardly rubbed his nose. Sun Lang was right; he did want to use him as a laborer! But he had no choice; otherwise, how would he find time to go fishing?
Think about it: if I take your money and give it to Su Xueyi, once that gets out, what chance do you have with her?
Reassuring Sun Lang a bit more, Shi Tian continued, “If you follow my suggestion from earlier, even if things leak out, I can say that you were just covering for her at work. That way, I’ll record this salary under her name!”
