Chapter 61: Defective Love

After making sure that Gu Zhun's trousers were undamaged, Zhang Heng took his hand and led him out of the toilet.

When Ye RuiXi saw the two of them, he immediately confronted Zhang Heng, "Why did you give up in the middle of our competition? You have no respect for me, do you? Did you do it for his sake?" Ye RuiXi pointed at Gu Zhun.

It was obvious that Ye RuiXi was deeply obsessed with the outcome of every challenge he issued to Zhang Heng. However, this obsession stemmed from his even deeper obsession with Wen YiHong. Wen YiHong was an outstanding man, and it was only natural for him to like those who were just as outstanding. In Ye RuiXi's mind, Wen YiHong's preference for Zhang Heng's company over his own made it clear that Wen YiHong considered Zhang Heng to be someone of excellence.

If he could win against Zhang Heng, he would be able to prove his own worth, wouldn't he?

Thus, Ye RuiXi drove himself into a frenzy challenging Zhang Heng to all kinds of competitions. He became half-crazed with the desire to win in the most trivial game of rock-paper-scissors against Zhang Heng.

Wen YiHong did not say or do anything about this state of affairs, and allowed Ye RuiXi to continue tirelessly with his onslaught of challenges.

Wen YiHong thought of himself as a matchmaker who was nurturing the relationship between Zhang Heng and Ye RuiXi. On the other hand, Ye RuiXi was convinced that Wen YiHong thought nothing of him because he had not been able to surpass Zhang Heng.

This dance-off would have been a great opportunity for Ye RuiXi to display his excellence if it wasn't for Gu Zhun, the meddling assistant. How dare he disrupt their competition!

Zhang Heng nodded in response to Ye RuiXi's confrontational accusation. "Yes."

Indeed.

"..." Silence.

Onstage, the emcee complimented the dance-off before redirecting everyone's attention back to the main program for the night – a networking session for the elites of the business world.

"Just do as you please and keep yourself entertained," Ye RuiXi said to Wen YiHong before leaving the ballroom hurriedly, as if he was in pursuit of something, or someone.

"Little brat, didn't you say that this was going to be a learning experience for you?" Wen YiHong sighed. For the sake of helping Ye RuiXi keep his position as company president, he continued to entertain the conversations struck up by renowned businessmen who came to speak with him.

In the meantime, Ye RuiXi was closing in on Gu Zhun, who was seated and sipping on a glass of juice.

"Come with me."

What Ye RuiXi had in mind was a private discussion with Gu Zhun in the toilet.

Since he had been dragged to the toilets multiple times now, Gu Zhun began to wonder if he had an affinity for such places. But unlike Zhang Heng, Ye RuiXi had no intention to go into a cubicle with Gu Zhun.

"Tell me, why are you being such a hindrance to Zhang Heng?"

"..." Gu Zhun was at a loss for an answer. Why was the president of Wen Corporation accusing him of hindering Zhang Heng? Perhaps I haven't done a good enough job as an assistant?

"I am not. I believe I have been conscientious in my role as his assistant."

Ye RuiXi was annoyed. "Really? You were the one who interrupted Zhang Heng and made him give up in the middle of our dance-off! He would never have acted like this in the past!"
