Chapter 162: Dancing Together
Gu Fan thought that since he didn’t have much to do recently and since Lin Xi wasn’t around, he didn’t need to go on dates either. So, he promptly responded to Leng Le’s message, expressing his willingness to take the job and earn some extra money.
After sending the message, Gu Fan felt that Leng Le was quite considerate to remember him for a part-time opportunity. He believed that his good performance during last part-time stint must have left a positive impression on Leng Le, hence, she approached him again.
Remembering Leng Le made Gu Fan reminisce about the last time they all sang together, when he accidentally ended up in Leng Le’s arms. The feeling greatly stirred the flames in his heart, but thankfully he managed to suppress the devilish impulse, otherwise, he would have turned into a real devil himself.
Once his day’s classes were done, Gu Fan grabbed his backpack and dashed to the commercial plaza across the street. He made a beeline for Leng Le’s office where he saw her looking beautiful as ever, still exhibiting an icy complexion and a forbidding aura.
However, when Leng Le saw Gu Fan, she smiled warmly which instantly softened her cold demeanor, replaced by an approachable vibe which put Gu Fan at ease.
Gu Fan couldn’t help but express his gratitude, "Sister Leng, thank you for giving me another job. I’ll do my best and won’t let you down."
Leng Le slightly nodded, "I believe that you can do well. That’s why I reached out to you. Keep it up, lad, do well, and maybe after you graduate, you can come work here as a manager."
"That will depend on your guidance, Sister Leng." Gu Fan felt gratified to have his abilities recognized, knowing his efforts had paid off.
Leng Le then said, "You seem to have lost a lot of weight recently, you look tanned and worn-out."
"Really? I went on a long trip recently and nearly lost my way in the desert. I’m not putting myself through that ordeal ever again." Gu Fan replied with a touch of self-mockery, noting some changes himself, "It seems Sister Leng, you’ve also lost a lot of weight and look rather worn out."
"Really?" Leng Le momentarily hesitated, quickly finding an excuse, "It’s all due to the workload. Wait till you graduate, then you’ll understand how hard it is to strive in the society. You should cherish your remaining campus life."
