Love Apartment: The Most Reliable Person

Chapter 159 An Xiaowei

On the way to the publishing house, Guan Gu was a little nervous, so he asked: "Aze, what is the personality of your friend?"

Lin Ze looked at him and threatened him, "She has a terrible personality and likes to exploit her employees. If you don't complete your tasks, she won't give you food or salary. So, are you still going?"

"Ah? How could this happen?" Guan Gu was very surprised, but looking at Lin Ze's smirk, he guessed: "Aze, you are joking, right?"

Lin Ze smiled and said, "You've figured this out. That's great, Guan Gu."

Guan Gu lost his composure a little: "Aze, please stop teasing me. I'm very nervous now."

Lin Ze was puzzled: "Why are you so nervous? What's there to be nervous about? Don't worry, she's not some devil girl, just a comic book fan. Just like Meijia, she's also a bit of a fangirl, but she's very clear-headed."

Guan Gu heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and murmured to himself: "That's good, that's good."

However, he suddenly asked: "Female devil? In other words, my future boss is a woman?"

Seeing his somewhat surprised expression, Lin Ze shook his head: "Guan Gu, don't make such a fuss. She's very capable. After graduating from university, she opened a publishing house with a few like-minded friends. Although she couldn't do without her family's support, she's doing very well. She's considered a strong woman. So, you should be more reserved and don't let people look down on you."

"Okay, I understand." Guan Gu became aloof upon hearing this and stopped talking casually.

Seeing this, Lin Ze nodded in satisfaction. Well, he finally stopped talking.

After arriving at the publishing house, they found a place to park the car, and Lin Ze walked in with Guan Gu in a swagger.

When I walked to the door, a capable woman in a suit and short hair was standing there waiting.

After seeing Lin Ze, she walked over and gave him a big hug. Seeing that she had been holding him for a long time and had no intention of letting go, Lin Ze quickly said, "Hey, that's enough, aren't you taking advantage of me? If you hug me again, I'll charge you."

An Xiaowei didn't let go immediately. Instead, she looked up at Lin Ze and said with a smile, "Tell me how much you charge. Let me see if I can afford it."

Guan Gu, who was standing by, felt a little embarrassed watching this scene and didn't know what to say.

Lin Ze compromised and said, "Okay, Xiaowei, stop messing around. Look at this, my friend, Guan Gu, a cartoonist from Japan. He's the author of Love Triangle Cat, and his latest work is Demon Slayer. How about it, are you interested?"

An Xiaowei finally let go of Lin Ze, looked at Guan Gu, and said, "Guan Gu is amazing, right? I've heard of you; you're a fairly famous cartoonist. Since Aze recommended you to me, I naturally have to honor him. From today on, you're one of us. Welcome to our big family."

"My name is An Xiaowei, and I'm the owner of this publishing house. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me directly." As she said that, An Xiaowei stretched out her hand.

Guan Gu also shook hands: "Hello, I'm Guan Gu Shenqi."

An Xiaowei glanced at Lin Ze, then said, "Okay, both of you come in with me."

Lin Ze refused: "I won't go in. Why don't you take your new employee in for a look?"

An Xiaowei replied: "You must come in, I have something to talk to you about."

Looking at Guan Gu on the side, Lin Ze had no choice but to compromise and said: "Okay, okay, I'll go in with you."

An Xiaowei led the two of them in. After handing Guan Gu over to another person, she took Lin Ze into her office.

Sitting in her exclusive boss chair, Lin Ze asked in confusion: "What do you want from me? You're so secretive."

An Xiaowei leaned on the desk, looking at the impudent Lin Ze. She was not angry, but smiled and said, "You really don't consider yourself an outsider. Apart from me, no one else in the publishing house dares to sit in this position."

Lin Ze smiled: "Look at what you said. I'm not from your publishing house. Are you angry? Then can I get up?" As he said that, he was about to stand up.

But An Xiaowei held him back: "That's not what I meant. I'm very happy that you're sitting here."

Lin Ze looked at An Xiaowei's face and said, "What's wrong? Do you need help from me? Since you just helped me, tell me. If I can help you, I will definitely help you."

An Xiaowei withdrew her hand and said a little embarrassedly: "You found out all this. You are indeed the smartest person among my friends. I do have a small matter that I need your help with."

Lin Ze smiled and said, "It's not that simple to make Miss An speak up, is it? But you can tell me first and see if I can help you with another matter."

An Xiaowei grabbed Lin Ze's arm and shook it: "Oh, you're the only one who can help me with this. Only with you can my family feel at ease. Please help me. Okay?"

Lin Ze first took An Xiaowei's hand away: "Be careful, men shouldn't be intimate. We are all brothers, don't be so affectionate. You said that only I can make your family feel at ease, what do you mean? You don't want me to pretend to be your boyfriend and meet your family, do you?"

An Xiaowei smiled happily: "Aze, you are so smart, that's what I meant."

Lin Ze refused: "Just forget about it, I won't agree. Also, why are you looking for me? Don't you have a lot of friends? Besides, I have a girlfriend now, this is not appropriate."

An Xiaowei's face froze when she heard that, but she quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Oh, Aze, what are you thinking about? I just wanted you to take a picture with me and send it to my parents to fool them. I didn't want you to go with me to meet them."

Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's how it is, then why did you have to look for me?"

An Xiaowei said excitedly, "Because you're the most suitable person among the friends I know. Look at you, you're young, successful in your career, handsome, and both your parents are orphaned. You're the perfect choice for a boyfriend."

Lin Ze was speechless. "Hey, what do you mean? Wasn't that last one a bit too much?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Aze. I just spoke too quickly. I didn't mean to. Please forgive me." An Xiaowei leaned down, revealing her beautiful figure.

From Lin Ze's perspective, he could clearly see the other person's bottomless career line. After turning his face to the side, he coughed lightly and said, "Okay, okay, I forgive you. Be careful next time."

An Xiaowei hugged Lin Ze from behind and said excitedly: "That's great, Aze, you are so kind."

Feeling the amazing softness, Lin Ze quickly changed the subject and said, "Don't you want to take pictures? Hurry up and take pictures. I have something else to do after you finish."

An Xiaowei took out her phone and said, "Okay, let's take a picture first. Just sit here and I'll take care of the rest."

So, An Xiaowei put Lin Ze into various shapes and forced him to take more than a dozen photos.

After the photoshoot, Lin Ze looked at An Xiaowei with an unhappy expression: "You really can make people suffer."

An Xiaowei comforted him, "Okay, don't be angry. I'm just trying to increase my credibility. I'll treat you to a meal. How about bringing Guan Gu along?"

Lin Ze shook his head: "Next time, I have something else to do this time."

An Xiaowei didn't say much, but said: "Then I'll see you off."

"Guys? Doesn't Guan Gu need to stay here?" Lin Ze was a little curious.

An Xiaowei smiled and said, "We're a publishing house. Just submit your manuscripts on time. I don't come here every day, but I came here today because you said you were coming."

Lin Ze smiled and said, "The boss is the boss, he is willful. But thank you anyway, I'm leaving first." Then he stood up and walked out.

An Xiaowei followed and said, "I'll take you there."

Looking at Lin Ze's disappearing car, An Xiaowei's expression was gloomy.
