Chapter 726: Complex
"Yes, I believe you." However, Zhang Tao had no intention of saying anything like "fine", he thought if people wanted to laugh at him, let them laugh. The urgent matter was to appease people’s feelings; everything else was secondary. Thus, he had no choice but to resign himself to pulling out his memo pad and started typing that content.
"I’m sorry, I lied to you just now and caused a misunderstanding. I actually ate directly at the office during lunch. I had plain steamed buns. I didn’t want you to have to eat plain steamed buns like me; they’re quite humble. That’s why I sent you that video. Oh, and that girl in the video is a colleague of mine, nothing more complicated than that."
"At that time, our department had just finished establishing the software framework, so we planned to go out and celebrate properly, enjoy a good meal. Otherwise, we had been simply eating something quick in the office and quickly wrapping up lunch."
"That time was the only exception. I thought of sending you a video of a nicer meal, partially to introduce you to something tasty, so that next time I could naturally... naturally invite you to join me. But I never expected that this would complicate things and lead to your misunderstanding. I am truly sorry about that."
"Moreover, I didn’t explain in time because I was with Shen Dong, discussing the software, so I missed the messages and lost the best chance to explain. I hope you can forgive me and give me another chance. I promise I will never deceive you again," he said quite proficiently when it came to explanations.
Zhang Tao typed out a long text, feeling that this draft was really well-written. Reading it wouldn’t make anyone think he was being perfunctory. Yes, it was very good. He was about to pick up his phone to call when, after a few beeps, he discovered that she was busy on another line. It seemed she had blocked him.
She had blocked his number outright. Zhang Tao felt like the sky was falling. "Is it really so? I have been blocked before I even had a chance to explain, I’ve actually been blacklisted. How could I be so unlucky?" he thought despairingly as he handed his phone to Shen Dong and said,
"I knew I shouldn’t have called so soon before thinking through the explanation. Now look, I don’t even have a number to call. Do I stand a chance anymore? I had many things planned out. Shen Dong, you have to help me. You know why I got blocked. If it weren’t for your initial call questioning her..."
"I wouldn’t have been blocked so quickly. Shen Dong was about to help, but when he heard Zhang Tao’s words, he became reluctant and said, "Don’t forget that it was you who desperately handed me your phone; otherwise, I wouldn’t have questioned her directly. In the end, it’s still because of you."
"Forget it, forget it. I won’t hold it against you considering how pitiful you look. I’ll help you out. I’ll lend you a random number, but whether she’ll answer depends on whether Tang Yuchan feels like it. Sometimes, Tang Yuchan can indeed be peculiar. When she’s in a bad mood, she doesn’t like answering calls, and calling too much might lead to being blocked outright."
