Special Effects Pheromone - Chap 24
The next morning, as usual, the Yu family of four had breakfast together. Yu Hai suddenly asked, “Zhao, what’s the name of that intern in your department?”
Yu Zhao sneered inwardly but maintained a respectful expression on his face. “Are you referring to Xia Tao?”
Upon hearing the name “Xia Tao,” Duan Keyi pretended not to care, but his ears perked up. Yu Yong, on the other hand, couldn’t conceal his change in expression.
Yu Hai nodded and said, “Yes, I was optimistic about him before, but after listening to the report yesterday, I don’t think he’s suitable. According to your own judgment, if there’s no vacancy, let him go.”
Yu Zhao understood Yu Hai’s meaning, feeling even more enlightened: Yesterday’s report was, after all, his report.
Yesterday, Xia Tao tried to bite into Yu Zhao in front of Yu Hai. Unexpectedly, Yu Zhao skillfully pushed Xia Tao out.
Duan Keyi never took Xia Tao seriously. Now that Yu Hai had spoken, he cared even less. Yu Yong, however, still held a grudge. Hearing this, he thought, “It seems Dad is tired of him.”
Yu Yong was holding onto a grudge.
Therefore, after going to work, he deliberately asked his assistant Tang Donggu to borrow an intern from Yu Zhao’s department to do some work.
An intern?
Did Yu Zhao’s department have any other interns?
Wasn’t it just Xia Tao?
When Yu Zhao heard from Xiao Qi’s report, he chuckled. “My ALPHA brother is too impatient.”
Xiao Qi curiously said, “It’s strange that Yu Yong suddenly came to borrow someone!…”
Yu Zhao said, “Just lend him an intern.”
Xiao Qi was also puzzled, but since the boss had spoken, Xiao Qi had nothing more to say and sent Xia Tao over.
Yesterday, Xia Tao went to Yu Hai to complain about Yu Zhao, thinking it would be entertaining to see Yu Zhao make a fool of himself. Unexpectedly, since Yu Zhao passed smoothly yesterday, Xia Tao had already sensed that things might not be good. Today, Yu Yong sent someone to find him early in the morning, and Xia Tao immediately knew he was in trouble.
Xia Tao didn’t say much on the surface and followed Tang Donggu. Tang Donggu asked Xia Tao to move computer desks. Xia Tao, a delicate OMEGA, couldn’t possibly move so many computer desks. Tang Donggu didn’t care and just told him to work, “An intern is so delicate? The workplace doesn’t distinguish between AOs. If you’re so delicate, you might as well be a little lady.”
After being teased, Xia Tao, with a disheveled appearance, had to bow his head and move things.
During lunchtime, Xiao Qi sneaked a look and came back to report to Yu Zhao: “This is lively!”
Yu Zhao curiously asked, “How is it lively?”
Xiao Qi said, “Xia Tao has been moving things there all the time. He hasn’t eaten lunch, and there’s talk of low blood sugar or something. He fainted in the corridor!”
Yu Zhao laughed. “Is that so?”
In the afternoon, Yu Zhao heard that after Xia Tao fainted, he received Yu Hai’s care. Yu Hai took Xia Tao to the lounge to rest and even reprimanded Tang Donggu, saying he didn’t know how to respect OMEGAs. If it spread, it would affect the company’s reputation. By scolding Tang Donggu, wasn’t he indirectly scolding Yu Yong?
Unexpectedly, Yu Yong suffered again because of Xia Tao.
Yu Zhao didn’t expect Xia Tao to turn things around so quickly.
“If Yu Yong hadn’t rushed to cause trouble, Xia Tao might not have had the chance to turn the situation around.” Yu Zhao sighed. “How can there be such a foolish ALPHA?”
Yu Zhao couldn’t help but think of what Qu Jing had said. Qu Jing mentioned that not all ALPHAs were excellent; some were just egotistical in character, and their abilities couldn’t support their self-worth.
This might describe Yu Yong!
Yu Zhao thought more and more frequently about Qu Jing, and the taste in his heart was indescribable.
While he was lost in thought, the office phone rang—it was from Yu Hai’s office. Yu Zhao went upstairs to General Yu’s office. Seeing Yu Zhao, Yu Hai’s face carried a somewhat embarrassed smile. He said, “Xiao Tao is quite something.”
Yu Zhao understood it immediately and felt a bit more admiring of Xia Tao, but also a bit more disdainful of Yu Hai. He, however, didn’t think that Xia Tao’s little act of pretending to be pitiful could deceive Yu Hai, an old fox.
“Well…” Yu Zhao thought for a moment and tentatively said, “Is Xiao Tao really sick?”
Yu Hai laughed at the question and said, “Who cares if it’s real or fake?”
—As expected.
Yu Zhao said, “Then you probably don’t mind Xiao Tao’s little mistake from yesterday.”
This “little mistake” naturally referred to Xia Tao’s attempt to seduce Gao Bohua.
Yu Hai sighed and said, “Let’s be frank, father and son. If I say I don’t mind, I’d be lying. But what if I do mind? Xiao Tao indeed made me comfortable. I thought of treating him well and giving him real benefits. But not anymore, I’ll just play around with him. When the time comes, if this duck wants to fly away, I won’t feel heartbroken.”
Yu Zhao nodded. “Okay, I understand.”
No, Yu Zhao didn’t understand.
Yu Hai waved his hand and said, “Go to the lounge and take him back.”
“Okay, I understand.” Yu Zhao went to the lounge. When he pushed the door, the scent of Xia Tao and Yu Hai filled the room—this smell almost made him vomit.
Yu Zhao swallowed and looked at Xia Tao lying on the big bed in the lounge.
Xia Tao, with his clothes in disarray, lazily glanced at Yu Zhao. His eyes seemed to be smiling, but also challenging.
It wasn’t the first time Yu Zhao encountered such a person, but it was the first time he felt hostility.
Not because he felt Xia Tao would threaten his position in Yu Group—impossible.
It was because, in Yu Zhao’s mind, an unsavory plot suddenly played out: Would there be a day when, on Qu Jing’s bed, he could see a sweet and young OMEGA lying there in this manner, looking at him lazily and provocatively?
What should he do at that time?
The rational voice told Yu Zhao: This is inevitable. He should be “tolerant.”
But there was another sharp voice roaring in Yu Zhao’s ears: Cut off Qu Jing’s damn thing!!!
