Chapter 902: 870. Decision to Join Hurricane
Silver Wolf Gang’s reputation stank; they used all sorts of vile means to collect debts, as well as to manage the Gu family’s biggest underground casino, and were very rampant.
“Hm.”
“Director Yun, why did you get me to investigate that gang?”
“I understood one thing yesterday,” the boy suddenly said.
His agent was baffled.
He calmly continued. “This world is much crueler than I thought; the weak get eaten by the strong, and the weak won’t ever get to make the rules, so I must become stronger!”
“Then, your point is…”
“Hurricane Group once invited me in; I’ll decide on this matter as soon as possible!”
Having said that, he ended the call.
He threw the phone to the sofa and walked up to the window, silently looking out with deep understanding…
Early in the morning of the next day, Yun Shishi was about to visit the supermarket to get some sanitary supplies when she received a call from Xiao Xue.
They had not been in touch for so long. Ever since her friend returned to the country, she had only contacted her a few times to ask about her health.
After her return to the country, she seemed to have joined an external company under her family’s arrangements. She was a newbie at her workplace and definitely needed time to acclimatize to her environment, so she had lost contact with her at some point.
Upon picking up the call, her friend wailed, “Shishi, my leave has finally been approved! I’m on leave starting today; let’s hang out and have coffee!”
“I haven’t heard from you for so long; I thought that you’ve already disappeared from the face of the earth,” she joked.
“You should know this; when one is a newbie at a company, there’s bound to be a handover of tasks. Sigh … I was almost tormented to death. Ah, I was so hard-pressed! If I didn’t get a leave, I’d probably die from exhaustion!” Her friend complained wryly while cursing her superior.
“I can’t believe you can actually rein in your temper!” she exclaimed. “If you were your old self, you’d long quit your job.”
“Well, I wasn’t sensible in the past! Now, being an adult for so long, I should be more sensible, right?” Xiao Xue laughed and then made an appointment with her. “Two o’clock in the afternoon at the Peninsula Café; I’ll wait for you!”
Her appointment was fixed just like that.
In the afternoon, Yun Shishi wore a simple attire and left home at once.
On her way to the meeting place, she made a trip to a dessert shop to buy her friend’s favorite vanilla crepe before she hurried to the rendezvous point.
She reached the café early and sat at the reserved table. Ordering a cup of Mocha Frappuccino, she leaned comfortably against the sofa and looked at the streets through the window as she waited for her friend to arrive.
Basking in the warm afternoon sun, she squinted her eyes. The weather was perfect today; it was neither too sunny nor too cold. She even felt a little drowsy, so she simply nestled to herself with eyes closed.
When her best friend arrived, she saw a picture of beauty; nestled in a corner of the sofa, the warm sunlight from the window shone on Yun Shishi’s face and made it seem as fair, and clear, as jade.
Drunk on a sleeping beauty…
Somehow, the phrase popped into her mind.
In the time that they did not meet, her dear friend had become more charming.
Probably due to her busy job before, she had neglected her dressing style.
Now, being an actress, she naturally paid attention to her outer appearance; Qin Zhou had even sent someone to do her wardrobe for her.

See this! I just gifted the story: Lollipop
Yun Shishi found it strangely awkward at first, but Qin Zhou said, “You have only a little fame now, but once the movie is out, you’ll surely rise to fame. By then, if the media publish candid photos of yours, people will think that I, as your manager, am mistreating you by letting you dress so poorly and without class!”
She could no longer refuse when he put it that way.

Therefore, now, her wardrobe was filled with fashionable clothes.
The truth was that she was the type to let nature take its course and was never fussy about clothes; hence, she was often ridiculed at by her manager.
Xiao Xue was relieved deep down.
Because her friend had been a hot topic on Weibo recently, she developed the habit of scrolling through the site despite not using it much before.
She sincerely felt happy for her friend.
“Shishi?” she tentatively called out.
Yun Shishi opened her eyes at once and smiled at the sight of her friend’s ever warm smile. “Xiao Xue, you’re here!”
“Yes! I got stuck in the traffic for half an hour due to a road accident! Shishi, you must’ve waited long for me!”
“It’s fine…”
She left her words hanging in midair.
From her periphery, she spotted an unfamiliar man standing next to her friend and was startled.
Xiao Xue followed her gaze to the man beside her and quickly hooked her arm through his as she rested her head on him. She then graciously introduced, “Shishi, introductions first. This is my boyfriend. We’ve been dating for a month now! Today is also our one-month anniversary. He he! I hope you don’t mind me bringing him along for our date!”
She was in a daze for a moment but quickly smiled. “Why would I mind? It’s just that it’s too sudden.”
The man stepped forward and proffered his hand to her as he politely introduced himself. “Hello, I’m Gao Nan, Xiao Xue’s colleague and boyfriend. She often talks about you!”
Somehow, his gaze made her especially uncomfortable.
She did not know if it was her illusion, but she found his gaze to be unsettling.
It was so unnerving she felt disturbed.
Very quickly, he retracted his gaze.
“Hello.” She took his hand.
Just as she moved to withdraw her hand, the man’s hand tightened around hers.
Feeling awkward for a moment, she jerked her hand back.
What’s wrong with this man?
He’s so strange; why did he grip my hand tightly and wouldn’t release it?
Her impression of this man soured at once.
She kept feeling that his gaze on her was abnormal; it was like being pricked by countless needles.
The couple sat together opposite of hers. The server handed the menu to them, and her friend ordered two cups of coffee and some snacks.
“Shall I order a cup of coffee for Shishi, too?” he asked.
Not waiting for her to answer, her friend shook her head. “My friend never likes drinking coffee.”
“Why?” His attention seemed to focus on her more than necessary as he gave a courteous smile. “Although coffee has a bitter taste, it is especially fragrant once you add creamer.”
“I don’t like coffee; thank you,” she politely declined.
He did not know what to say in response to her curt refusal.
Glancing at him, his girlfriend snorted. “Hmph. I told you, yet you don’t believe me. Shishi doesn’t like drinking coffee. I once forced her to drink a mouthful, but she found it so bitter she shed tears! It’s so amusing. She even asked me what’s so nice about coffee!”
