Chapter Nineteen Winning or Losing Without Difference
"Of course, who wouldn't like such a handsome man?"
Ye Tao didn't expect that Xia Ruo, who had always been "businesslike" to him, would admit it so frankly in this situation.
"Sure enough, she showed that she didn't like me before, was it all just an act?"
But when Xia Ruo admitted that she liked Ye Tao, there was no hint of happiness in her tone.
This made Ye Tao feel that there was still something wrong with his previous guess.
Tian Xin originally thought that Xia Ruo would cover up and deny it when faced with her problem, but Xia Ruo's straightforward admission also surprised her!
Just behind her, who didn't know what to say, Yin Ye who came with her suddenly asked Xia Ruo in a gentle manner:
"So how long have you been her personal assistant?"
"Based on Ye Tao's conditions, the monthly salary should not be low!"
Xia Ruo first glanced at Ye Tao and saw that he had no intention of making up the time, so he said the truth without any psychological burden:
"Today is my first day at work."
"As for the monthly salary, I'm sorry, this is a secret. I can only say that it is much higher than ordinary white-collar workers of the same age!"
Since it was indeed the first day of contact with Xia Ruo, and since he had dinner with Tian Xin and Yin Ye at noon, Ye Tao did not find a suitable opportunity to ask Xia Ruo about her monthly salary.
At this time, after hearing Xia Ruo's answer, he still didn't know the specific amount of her monthly salary, but he roughly knew that this job was indeed a good and well-paid job for her!
"Sure enough, I found a housekeeper because I wanted to move out!"
Since he still didn't know about Ye Tao's contract with the entertainment company, Yin Ye subjectively equated the introduction of Xia Ruo's "exclusive personal assistant" with the identity of a housekeeper hired by wealthy people to handle household matters.
"This is actually not comprehensive."
Xia Ruo hesitated for a moment, but decided not to take the initiative to inform the other party of her specific work, so she then said tactfully:
"But it's pretty much what you understand. They are all doing things for the employer and making his quality of life better through service!"
Tian Xin didn't understand why Yin Ye remained so calm when facing such a powerful "love rival".
However, what Yin Yewen and Ye Tao said next made her feel that Yin Ye was not actually calm now, but was about to show off the feeling of full expectation!
Because what she asked was:
"Then do you like her? Do you want her to be your girlfriend?"
This kind of question asked in front of Xia Ruo really made Ye Tao feel embarrassed.
And when Xia Ruo heard what Yin Yewen said, although there was no expectation on his face, he still turned his head and looked into Ye Tao's eyes without hesitation.
"This~"
"It's not like I have any ideas yet!"
Ye Tao was stared at by three beauties with different attitudes, waiting for the answer to this question. He could well understand the mood of the male protagonist in romance novels when facing the "Shura" scene.
He felt that he could neither say that he liked Xia Ruo nor directly say that he disliked Xia Ruo, thus offending this personal assistant who "managed money".
So I immediately found a suitable and decent reason:
"Although she is very beautiful and has a good personality."
"But after all, we have only known each other for a day, so we can't say whether we will like her or not."
Tian Xin, who wanted to "fight side by side" with Yin Ye in this regard, immediately followed Yin Ye's question and Ye Tao's answer and asked the question she was most concerned about:
"Even if it's her first day on the job, when you hired her as a housekeeper, you must have carefully selected her from among many people!"
"So, compared to other applicants, you still like her the most, right?"
In fact, the boundary between this "like" and the "like" between men and women is unclear in the context of the four people at this time.
However, this matter is not a problem for Ye Tao.
Because he told the truth directly:
"I didn't choose it, it was assigned to me by the company boss!"
Because of this, in the following time, Tian Xin and Yin Ye followed this topic and finally found out that the reason why Ye Tao suddenly had a house outside the school was not that he was a "rich second generation" as they once thought.
But because he was favored by the boss of a large entertainment company, he was given the treatment of a "quasi-star" before his "debut".
"Ye Tao, you are so handsome, you will have no problem becoming a star idol!"
Although Tian Xin said this sincerely, she still couldn't hide her disappointment in her tone.
Because she knows very well that although being a star will be very beautiful in front of fans, most idol stars who mainly rely on their appearance to attract fans will be prohibited from dating by their contract companies.
Compared with her, Yin Ye sees things more realistically.
"Even if I can't be your girlfriend for a day, I will still cherish our relationship today."
Frustrated and trying to gain as much as possible, she said:
"Maybe after you become a big star, it will be very difficult to get along with you like this!"
"It's not that exaggerated!" Ye Tao didn't want to make the atmosphere in the hall sad, so he took the initiative to shuffle the cards and said, "You are welcome to play as friends in the future."
After the card game started, the four people agreed to divide the game into five hundred points. If one person did not finish playing the cards, 40 points would be deducted from the other party.
"If I beat you in a round, I could be your girlfriend for a day!"
After drawing the first hand of cards, Tian Xin saw that the cards in his hand were good, and felt that even if he won, it would be useless, so he sighed sadly.
Seeing Ye Tao's apologetic face, Xia Ruo immediately said before he spoke:
"Then if you lose, what can you give Ye Tao?"
This is obviously a hint to Ye Tao not to agree to be Tian Xin's "boyfriend for a day" after losing the card.
But what she didn't expect was that the "attraction" of Ye Tao's good looks to Tian Xin was close to infinity.
And for Tian Xin now, the more she feels that it is hopeless to be Ye Tao's girlfriend, the stronger her desire for this matter becomes.
"I can lose anything to him!"
Tian Xin responded without hesitation: "Including myself!!"
"Me too!" Yin Ye only used these four words to fully express the same mood as Tian Xin at the moment.
Ye Tao, who had never been so strongly and frankly liked by a beautiful woman, was somewhat moved by the two people's deep affection for him.
"Their conditions are really good. If any one of them can become my girlfriend before I become handsome, I may wake up laughing in my dreams!"
Ye Tao thought about the note Mu Anran left for him again, and began to think that since Mu Anran didn't want to be his official lover, it wouldn't be wrong for him to simply choose one of these two beautiful girls to try to be his girlfriend.
But at this moment, Xia Ruo pointed out the problem in Tian Xin's words without mercy.
"Devoting yourself to Ye Tao is something you can only dream of!"
"What's the difference between losing and winning like this?"
"Besides, if Ye Tao really liked one of you, there would be no need to play cards to cover it up."
"If he doesn't like you, don't you think the affection you get from playing cards all the time is too humble?"
