Join a Dating Reality Show with the Aloof, Fishing-Style Richest Man - Chapter 16

Lu Zhao looked at Ji Zhaoxi in disbelief, unable to fathom how Ji Zhaoxi knew her pursuit methods were all learned from surfing the internet.

Or had she been surfing too? What was she doing surfing the web in her free time!

Seeing no reaction from her, Ji Zhaoxi’s brow furrowed slightly. “Did I say something wrong?”

Lu Zhao shook her head blankly, eventually looking at Ji Zhaoxi with a complex expression.

“You’re too smart. A woman who is too smart is hard to pursue.”

The underlying reason was that if someone is too smart, they are hard to fool.

Ji Zhaoxi’s brow furrowed again, looking somewhat stifled.

Lu Zhao turned to look at Qiao Yang and said very seriously, “Qiao Yang, there really is no future for you. I don’t like men.”

“But I clearly said I’m willing to get a sex change!” Qiao Yang looked extremely aggrieved.

Hearing that Qiao Yang was actually willing to undergo surgery for Lu Zhao, Ji Zhaoxi’s expression became slightly complicated. She glanced at Lu Zhao, then looked away, her gaze turning even colder.

Lu Zhao had a headache. Finally, she said, “If you keep pestering me like this, you can forget about me ever taking you off my blacklist!”

As expected, this tactic worked. Qiao Yang wanted to say something, but ultimately looked at Lu Zhao’s expression and swallowed his words, appearing quite restless and uneasy.

Lu Zhao sighed. A man over 1.8 meters tall was acting so pitiful; she covered her eyes, unable to look.

“Let’s go,” Ji Zhaoxi said flatly.

Lu Zhao and Sister Li hurried to follow Ji Zhaoxi’s lead, leaving Qiao Yang behind.

Following Ji Zhaoxi out of the building, Lu Zhao looked around and asked curiously, “President Ji, did you come out to discuss business without an assistant?”

Ji Zhaoxi paused for a moment and glanced at her. “I let my assistant head back first after the meeting.”

The three of them found a cafe and sat down. Ji Zhaoxi took a document folder out of her bag, handed it to Lu Zhao, and said, “I looked at your physical exam report from yesterday. You’re a bit anemic.”

When mentioning the anemia, Ji Zhaoxi’s brow furrowed unconsciously.

“Oh, so it’s nothing serious then.” Lu Zhao took it and gave it a cursory glance. Since she didn’t really understand it anyway, she quickly put it away.

Seeing Lu Zhao’s indifferent attitude, Ji Zhaoxi’s frown deepened. Her voice lowered as she said, “I’ll arrange a physical every year from now on. Pay attention to your health.”

“I know~” Lu Zhao drawled, her face full of smiles. Working for Ji Zhaoxi actually came with pretty good salary and benefits.

However, Sister Li was shocked beyond belief when she heard Ji Zhaoxi’s words. Ji Zhaoxi actually cared about Lu Zhao! Wasn’t Lu Zhao just a simple “simp”?

“In a couple of days, finish the handover with your company, then call this person. She will guide you through everything.” Ji Zhaoxi pushed a business card toward Sister Li.

Sister Li picked up the card and was shocked once again. The card belonged to Zhang Yutong, the legendary top manager of Ji’s Entertainment! The people under her wing were either film emperors and empresses or, at the very least, top-tier rising stars.

“I… I just have to call her?” Sister Li still couldn’t believe it.

“Yes. You will work alongside her to manage Lu Zhao,” Ji Zhaoxi said calmly.

Sister Li looked at Lu Zhao with a complex expression, only to see Lu Zhao resting her chin on her hands, smiling brilliantly at Ji Zhaoxi. For a moment, she began to doubt things.

Was this really a one-sided “simping” situation? Lu Zhao’s treatment for a simp was way too good! Not only did Ji Zhaoxi poach her, but she even gave her such incredible resources!

“President Ji, I knew you cared about me. You’re so good to me, I really love you more and more!” Lu Zhao had stars in her eyes. Ji Zhaoxi’s image was becoming increasingly tall in her heart.

Ji Zhaoxi calmly took a sip of her coffee. The extreme bitterness of the unsweetened coffee spread across her tongue, barely managing to suppress the curve of her lips that was threatening to go out of control.

Sister Li’s pupils shook. Are you allowed to say things like that?

Thinking about the dating variety show, Lu Zhao was about to speak when she noticed Sister Li. She said, “Sister Li, close your eyes and cover your ears.”

“Huh?” Sister Li was puzzled.

“I’m going to have some private talk with President Ji. It’s not convenient for you to listen,” Lu Zhao said seriously.

Sister Li: “…”

With a stoic face, she raised her hands to cover her ears and closed her eyes.

Seeing that Sister Li was ready, Lu Zhao turned to Ji Zhaoxi, a brilliant smile plastered on her face. She carefully tugged at Ji Zhaoxi’s sleeve, shaking it playfully. Her tone was soft and seductive, drawn out with a sweet lilt.

“President Ji, my darling, I’ll be joining a film crew soon. I might not be able to follow behind you then. Have you considered the dating show yet?”

Ji Zhaoxi: “…”

Her arm was being gently tugged, and that soft, flirtatious voice was like a little hook scratching at her heart, making it go numb. But why did Ji Zhaoxi feel a bit uneasy listening to this?

Seeing that Ji Zhaoxi didn’t answer, Lu Zhao leaned her body softly toward her. She didn’t lean directly against her, but from an outsider’s perspective, it looked like she was leaning right into Ji Zhaoxi.

Her voice became even softer and more coquettish, like a spoiled girlfriend acting out without restraint.

“President Ji~ tell me, what else do I need to do for you to agree?”

Lu Zhao was so close that her breath could be felt—warm and soft. Ji Zhaoxi’s other hand, hidden under the table, tightened.

“Is this how you ask for a favor? How much have you actually done before coming to ask for an answer?” Ji Zhaoxi’s voice was a bit tight. Lu Zhao was so close it completely transcended normal social distance, yet Ji Zhaoxi didn’t move an inch.

Lu Zhao let out a long sigh and sat up straight, letting go of the sleeve.

“I was just trying to see if you’d go soft-hearted. I tried, but your heart is pretty hard.”

The sudden withdrawal and the immediate loss of her presence left Ji Zhaoxi stunned for a half-second. Hearing those words, a few dark lines appeared on her forehead.

“You’re quite the slacker then.”

“Isn’t slacking a mandatory skill for an office worker?”

Lu Zhao spoke innocently. After all, strictly speaking, she was indeed Ji Zhaoxi’s employee now.

Ji Zhaoxi: “…”

“But darling, you’re so good to me, you’ll definitely agree eventually, right?” Lu Zhao looked at Ji Zhaoxi with starry eyes. She was simply the perfect boss! In all these years, only Ji Zhaoxi made her feel like a capitalist with a soul.

“Darling, my goddess, if you don’t agree, I’ll just have to stay by your side these next few days and serve you hand and foot!”

“Even if you can’t make up your mind for a while, it’s okay. Just know that I’ll always be here waiting for you. If you forget I’m here, it’s fine—I’ll come find you myself.”

“Darling, I’ll make sure you see how serious I am!”

Lu Zhao winked, her eyes full of sincerity.

Ji Zhaoxi: “…”

Sister Li, who was covering her ears but could still hear a bit: “…”

So this is how Lu Zhao simps on a daily basis!

Ji Zhaoxi has strange taste; she can actually stand this!
