Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 17: Early Menopause?

"Director, you said you prepared six professionals to guide us on the skydive, but there are seven of us!"

Qi Xian said calmly, "Of course I know, so I specially prepared a lottery. The person who draws a blank slip of paper has no choice but to parachute alone." After saying that, a sly smile appeared on his face.

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in an uproar. Some began to complain, but most were tense.

"Come and draw lots!" Qi Xian shouted.

Chen Mo was the first to step forward to draw lots. Her hands trembled slightly, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

She closed her eyes and prayed silently, "Buddha, please protect me..."

Next was Liang Shun, who went even further, abandoning his arrogance and bowing to the lottery box while muttering incantations.

Seeing this, others followed suit, and the scene became extremely comical.

Xie Qing remained completely unmoved. In his previous life, when he was under a lot of work pressure, he would usually relieve the pressure by participating in extreme sports. He was practically an expert at skydiving.

After Xie Nuo drew his paper, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it wasn't blank. At the same time, he secretly hoped that Xie Qing would draw a blank paper. As far as he knew, Xie Qing had never been involved in skydiving before, and he hoped that Xie Qing would die from the crash.

"Next, please come forward if you drew a blank slip of paper!"

Xie Qing noticed that Chen Mo beside her was trembling slightly and her face was as pale as paper. She guessed that she might be the one who drew the blank slip of paper.

Just as Chen Mo was about to step forward, Xie Qing spoke first, saying, "It's me."

Chen Mo looked at Xie Qing in astonishment, her eyes filled with disbelief and gratitude.

She seemed to want to say something, but Xie Qing gestured for her to remain silent.

Chen Mo understood Xie Qing's meaning. Perhaps because she hadn't felt kindness from others for too long, her heart started racing when she looked at Xie Qing again, and she felt a little fondness for him.

Xie Nuo, standing to the side, couldn't contain his joy; it really was a case of his wish coming true.

When Qi Xian saw that Xie Qing was the person who drew the card, he said, "Actually, there are seven professional skydivers. Do you want to pay to hire a professional? You can hire one of our professionals at the normal price!" Qi Xian felt that he had already given a clear enough hint.

Before Xie Qing could speak, Xie Nuo began to complain indignantly, "Director, why does he only charge the normal price? We paid five times the price for a tent before. Why? This is not fair."

Qi Xian was truly fed up with Xie Nuo's meddling. He gave him a cold glare and said, "What, you're not happy? If you think it's unfair, then quit!"

Qi Xian showed him no respect whatsoever, and it was only after Gu Yan stepped in to smooth things over that the matter was dropped.

"No need, Director," Xie Qing politely declined.

Qi Xian was taken aback. "Can you tell me why?"

"Because I don't think it's necessary; I want to save my money to support my partner."

Qi Xian: I asked that question unnecessarily.

But that's what I'm saying, if anything happens to you, your partner will twist my skull off, you know!

When Gu Yan heard this, her first reaction was that the person in question was herself. She never expected that Xie Qing was so deeply in love with her.

If Xie Qing knew that Gu Yan was thinking this way, she would definitely make another hole in his head.

[What? A boyfriend? Did Xie Qing just say a boyfriend? No, no! My new husband shouldn't have a boyfriend!]

I think it's definitely fake; he's just making up an excuse to appease the director.

I agree, unless he doesn't want his career anymore.

[It's definitely fake. Anyone with a brain knows that no one would choose this time to announce their relationship.]

【...】

And so, these netizens convinced themselves.

At the Huo Group, Huo Yunting was sitting in front of his computer watching the live stream on the screen. His eyes were focused and serious, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

When he heard him say those words, a clear smile appeared on his face, as if his heart was filled with sweetness.

However, when he noticed the scrolling comments below the live stream, his gaze swept over the words, and his face instantly darkened, as if ink could drip from it.

"Is it fake?" "It must be fake!" These words kept stimulating his nerves, causing his mood to plummet from the clouds to the bottom, and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Chu Luo stood in front of Huo Yunting, waiting for his signature, her face full of confusion.

What's wrong with the boss? His face keeps changing, is he going through early menopause?

Several helicopters carrying seven guests flew toward their destination.

More than an hour later, the group finally saw the island.

"Uncle, when you're going to jump later... could you let me know so I can prepare myself mentally?"

The cabin door was already open. Chen Mo looked at the instructor, who seemed eager to try, and asked a question with some fear.

"Don't be afraid, little girl, just close your eyes and it will be over."

Chen Mo's legs were shaking like a leaf. The comforting words were good, but don't try to comfort her next time; she's afraid she might actually pass away.

On another helicopter, Xie Qing, with his parachute pack strapped to his back, was watching the spectacle unfolding before him with great interest.

"Ready? I'm going to jump."

"No, no, no, wait! Wait! I'm not ready yet!!!" Su Li, who had already been pushed to the cabin door by the coach, kept backing away, her face pale.

Liang Shun, standing next to him, was no less weak-kneed; his legs felt limp.

God knows he was just there to participate in a variety show, how did he end up skydiving?!

"Don't be afraid, come on, let me count to three, one, two..." Before she could even finish counting to three, Su Li was taken away. A second or two later, Su Li's shouts could still be faintly heard.

Another coach, before Liang Shun could recover, led his men to jump down.

Liang Shun screamed in mid-air, "Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, I'm going to die, ahhh..."

Seeing that there was no more fun to be had, Xie Qing stood up and walked to the cabin door.

The wind howled in his ears, his blood boiled again, and he felt a long-lost thrill...

The helicopter captain, who had also done skydiving before, saw this young man jumping without anyone to guide him and was about to give him some instructions when he turned around—wait, there he was!

[No, Xie Qing just jumped down like that!!! She just jumped down so beautifully!!!]

Compared to the other members, his jump was too crisp.

[Xie Nuo on the other side burst into tears. The girl was scared, but at least she didn't cry. He, on the other hand, just started crying. To be honest, I've never seen a guy cry more than him. His eyes get red at the drop of a hat.]

Although...but...it seems like he really is like that.

[This is a real man. I apologize for what I said about Xie Qingniang before! I'm sorry, Xie Qing.]

[They...went down there? I couldn't even cook dumplings that fast!]

Xie Qing maintained his balance, feeling the thrill and excitement of freefall. His adrenaline surged, and he was very excited.

As he descended, he decisively deployed his parachute at the opportune moment and then maneuvered it towards the island.

Xie Qing landed on a beach, glanced around briefly, and then started the Butterfly live stream.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xie Qing. I've landed safely and will be living here for the next seven days. Wish me luck!"

After saying that, Xie Qing opened his backpack, took out the tent, and began to assemble it skillfully.

It was already afternoon, and considering the possibility of high tide that evening, Xie Qing deliberately chose a higher spot on the beach to pitch his tent. This would prevent the tent from being submerged by the tide and ensure his safety.

"The tent is set up! I just saw a lot of fish in the sea, so I'm going to make some simple tools to catch them."

While explaining his plans to the live stream camera, Xie Qing continued working on his tasks.

He then pulled a sharp knife from his bag and stepped into the nearby woods.
