Chapter 692: A Little Black Cat
Xue Xi had not intended to eavesdrop.
However, Zheng Zhi’s back was facing her, and Fang Yi, the newcomer, did not see her. She was standing in the corridor that led to the Internet department. Her hearing was sharp, and she accidentally heard the last few words.
When this Fang Yi actually mentioned her…
“Tsk! This again!”
Just as Xue Xi was thinking this, she suddenly heard a mocking female voice. She instinctively looked around, but there was no one around.
“Pretty girl, Big Sister is over here.”
Xue Xi followed the voice and saw a black cat standing on the cabinet beside her. Its deep blue eyes were staring at Fang Yi and Zheng Zhi in disdain.
Was that Big Sister’s voice just now from this cat?
Xue Xi: “?”
Seeing that she was not surprised and did not speak, the black cat instantly smiled. “Yo, you’re the first person who’s not surprised to see me! As expected of someone that Boss likes. You’re indeed different. I think you’re different from that woman, Fang Yi!”
Just as it said this, Xue Xi widened her eyes in shock. “You can speak?”
The black cat: “?”
F*ck! It’s not that she was not surprised but that she couldn’t react at first?
It raised its tail proudly and snorted.
Just as Xue Xi was about to speak again, Zheng Zhi said from afar, “That’s true. Xue Xi and Boss… have a close relations.h.i.+p. We should tell this to X. No matter how difficult it is to please X, he won’t dare to flare up at Xue Xi. Sister, you’re too smart!”
Fang Yi shook her head gently. “Wrong. You can’t tell Mr. X about Xue Xi’s ident.i.ty.”
Zheng Zhi was stunned. “Why?”
Fang Yi slowly said, “Xiao Zhi, you arranged for her to join the Internet department out of goodwill, right?”
Zheng Zhi choked. However, whether it was to express his loyalty or to cover up his thoughts, he immediately said, “That’s not it. I just felt that it would be difficult to get promoted in the Internet department and purposely made things difficult for her!”
Fang Yi smiled. “You always say one thing and mean another. You clearly have a good heart, but after you say things out loud, you change your mind. Forget it, I’ll tell you. If you tell Mr. X about Xue Xi’s ident.i.ty, Mr. X will have more respect for her. Because of that, he won’t tell Xue Xi everything. Have you ever seen a teacher being polite to a student? If X acts like that, what can Xue Xi learn in the Internet department?”
Zheng Zhi’s face was a little red, but he did not dare to look at Fang Yi.
Actually, what he said was very unpleasant. He felt that Xue Xi was not worthy of Boss and that Xue Xi was not good in any way.
However, if she was really not good, why would he arrange for her to join the Internet department for her safety? Was it really because he did not want her to be promoted?
Moreover, after working on the light source project with Xue Xi, his opinion of her had unknowingly changed.
Zheng Zhi looked at Fang Yi again.
No, he could not do this. He had preconceived notions. Fang Yi had liked Boss for a long time, and Boss valued Fang Yi very much. Fang Yi was the best way for Boss to recover. He could not be shaken.
Zheng Zhi coughed. “Sister, no matter what, I’m on your side. That Xue Xi is not worth mentioning! Even if she learns anything from the Internet department, she can’t compare to you!”
Fang Yi patted his shoulder. Seeing that he did not deny her words, her eyes flickered. The two of them had been walking away for so long.
After the two of them disappeared, Xue Xi was just about to turn around and leave when the black cat suddenly jumped into her arms and said, “Hey, don’t tell me you really think that Fang Yi is treating you well? Let me tell you, she’s a huge white lotus! Don’t let your guard down.”
The moment Xue Xi’s hand touched the black cat, something seemed to flash across her chest.
However, it was too fast and Xue Xi did not catch it.
Xue Xi was not interested in its words. Instead, she looked at the cat and asked, “You’re also an esper… No, a cat esper?”
“Nonsense.”
The black cat was very arrogant and raised its chin. “Have you ever seen other cats speak? This lady right here is the only superpowered animal in the world!”
