Special Effects Pheromone - Chap 13
When Yu Zhao returned home, his mind was in a daze.
Qu Jing had kissed him.
He had kissed Qu Jing too.
Of course, this wasn’t their first kiss.
They had already gone beyond kissing, indulging in more heated moments than just now. However, this time was the first kiss without involving any intimate acts.
According to Yu Zhao’s judgment, those passionate kisses before were driven by pheromones, resulting in rather animalistic behavior. But what about just now?
Yu Zhao touched the barrier patch on the back of his neck. It was securely in place, sealing off any pheromones.
“Zhao, back already?”
—Yu Hai walked over from the hallway.
Yu Zhao nodded at his father. “Hello, Father.”
Yu Hai asked, “Where did you go? Out for a meal with a client again?”
—”Yes.” Yu Zhao nodded.
Yu Hai continued, “It’s good. You’re doing well in this aspect. I can tell you’re not fond of dealing with people, but overcoming that and communicating with clients is excellent.”
Yu Hai added, “Did Xia Tao go to your department?”
“Oh?” Yu Zhao hadn’t expected Yu Hai to ask about Xia Tao.
During the day, Yu Hai and Xia Tao were caught in a compromising situation by Yu Yong—of course, it was all part of Yu Zhao’s plan. Yu Zhao thought that after being caught, Yu Hai would send Xia Tao away. However, unexpectedly, Yu Hai kept Xia Tao in Yu Zhao’s department, and now he was asking about it.
It seems—Yu Hai and Xia Tao’s pheromones should be quite compatible?
Yu Zhao pretended to know nothing and calmly replied, “Is it the intern who was here today?”
“Yes, him.” Yu Hai nodded. “How’s his work?”
Yu Zhao smiled and said, “He just started with me; I haven’t observed much.”
“Alright, then you observe more.” Yu Hai said, “I think this kid is clever; we can keep him.”
Although these words sounded like praise for Xia Tao, in fact, it was more like a “hint” for Yu Zhao to keep Xia Tao and make him a regular employee.
Yu Zhao felt somewhat displeased. His department consisted of his “elite troops,” each carefully chosen by him. He didn’t want to mix in someone who couldn’t be touched, hit, or moved—basically, a “privileged” individual. It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford to keep Xia Tao, but having such a person in the department would affect the morale.
Yu Zhao didn’t fully comply with his father’s words and only said diplomatically, “This kid seems smart, but we need to see if he fits into our department. If not, he can try elsewhere; there will be a suitable place for him.”
Yu Hai sneered and said, “You might not know; Xia Tao has already offended Yu Yong. Apart from your department, he can’t go anywhere.”
With Yu Hai saying this much, what else could Yu Zhao say?
Yu Zhao still refused to go along with his father’s words and said, “If he has already offended someone after half a day in the company, maybe it’s better to let him go.”
This statement truly angered Yu Hai. Gritting his teeth, he said, “What? Does recruiting and selecting people in Yu company depend on Yu Yong’s mood? I’m not dead yet!”
Yu Zhao quickly nodded and said, “Yes, I understand.”
After Yu Hai had given his “instructions,” Yu Zhao went inside to rest. The next day, it was breakfast for the family of four. No one mentioned Xia Tao.
But Yu Zhao guessed that such an incident must have been reported to Duan Keyi by Yu Yong right away. Duan Keyi would surely be unhappy.
However, Duan Keyi seemed as gentle and kind as usual today, and Yu Zhao couldn’t detect any signs of jealousy. He served Yu Hai a bowl of porridge and said, “Darling, you’ve lost weight lately. Is work too hectic? I’ve always said the food outside isn’t nutritious. It’s better to come home for meals.”
After hearing this, Yu Zhao almost burst into laughter, but he restrained himself—smiling was not something he usually did in this house.
Yu Hai also felt somewhat awkward and said, “Mm.”
Duan Keyi glanced at Yu Zhao again and said, “By the way, what happened to your blind date? Do you want me to introduce someone to you? Although I’m not in the matchmaking business, I still know quite a few people.”
Yu Zhao replied, “Thank you, but it’s not necessary.”
“Why not?” Yu Yong interrupted, “Don’t be stubborn. With your pheromones, it’s not easy to find a suitable partner. And I heard that you have a strict requirement for wealth. Isn’t that a bit too much? Just find someone with compatible pheromones and a family background similar to your father’s.”
Yu Zhao, feeling a bit irritated at the mention of his biological father by Yu Yong, managed to conceal his emotions.
“What are you saying? Isn’t his dad me?” Yu Hai also felt a bit annoyed and added a stern remark.
Now, Yu Yong softened his tone, saying, “No, I’m just advising him. OMEGAs need to get married, especially someone with his level of pheromones. Otherwise, as he gets older, the pheromones may become imbalanced.”
Yu Zhao, however, said, “Actually, Qu Jing’s parents also want to meet both of you. He said as he pointed to Duan Keyi and Yu Hai.” But I’m not sure when you both would have time.”
With these words, the proud smile on Yu Yong’s face froze, and even Duan Keyi was taken aback. Yu Hai, on the other hand, was quite pleased, “Really? That’s great! If you had mentioned it earlier, I could have cleared my schedule today… But what you’re saying now will have to wait a couple of days.”
Duan Keyi, who was momentarily surprised, quickly regained composure and said to Yu Hai with a smile, “you are always busy, but I’m free. How about I go meet them?”
However, Yu Zhao thought, “No!”
Although he didn’t know what Duan Keyi could do, he just had a bad feeling about it.
Duan Keyi then asked again, “By the way, what’s Qu Jing’s family background like?”
Yu Zhao answered, “It’s a traditional family, with both parents.”
“Oh, that’s good,” Duan Keyi smiled and said, “What do his parents do?”
Yu Zhao replied, “They are educators.”
“Teachers?” Yu Yong sneered, “Isn’t that still not up to our level? I thought you were so interested because it was some wealthy family!”
Duan Keyi said, “You don’t understand. This just shows that Qu Jing has made it on his own, which is commendable.”
Yu Hai nodded, saying, “Exactly. If you had half of his brains, I’d be burning incense!”
Although scolded twice by Yu Hai, Yu Yong felt very resentful, but he didn’t dare to argue.
Yu Hai himself came from an ordinary family, so he couldn’t stand the disparaging remarks about the “new money” made by the children of wealthy families. Yu Yong was indeed sharp, precisely targeting Yu Hai’s sore spot. Thinking about yesterday’s events, Yu Hai became even angrier and didn’t show a good expression to Yu Yong all day.
…………………….
Back at the company, Yu Zhao asked about Xia Tao again, “How capable is Xia Tao at work?”
Xiao Qi replied, “He’s an intern, so I haven’t given him any important tasks. Just some trivial work, and I can’t see his business ability, but he’s clever, good at talking, and diligent.”
Yu Zhao nodded and said, “Alright, you can go.”
After a while, You Zhao received a call from Hua Yao.
His tone was urgent, “Didn’t you ask me to keep an eye on Qu Jing’s parents?”
“Yes, what’s wrong?” Yu Zhao asked.
“You’re indeed a prophet,” Hua Yao said, “Duan Keyi went to meet them as expected!”
Yu Zhao had a headache, “I knew it.”
When he mentioned this in the morning, he knew Duan Keyi would take action. Duan Keyi wouldn’t let Yu Zhao have his way so easily, especially when the other party seemed so suitable. Duan Keyi obtained Mrs. Qu’s phone number through some means, called her, and identified himself as Yu Zhao’s “OMEGA dad.” He proposed to have afternoon tea together with her.
However, Mrs. Qu replied that she was still working
So Duan Keyi rescheduled it for dinner.
In the evening, Mrs. Qu arrived at Yuan Yao Hotel. According to the information provided by Duan Keyi, she went to the fourth floor of the hotel. As soon as she entered, she saw well-dressed rich wives and a few well-maintained OMEGA males drinking and chatting.
Duan Keyi greeted her, led her to meet everyone, and then explained to the rest, “She was supposed to come in the afternoon but was at work and just arrived now.”
One of the wives exclaimed, “Work? What’s that?”
As they spoke, everyone burst into laughter.
Mrs. Qu, though inexplicably mocked, remained calm. She calmly said, “Do you not know what work is? Perhaps you haven’t been to school?”
