Samuel Lee walked back gingerly. "What's the matter, president?"
James Lu opened his mouth and found that he was a little embarrassed. He irritably took out a cigarette and lit up the cigarette for himself. He took two deep breaths and then looked back at Samuel. He frowned and looked a little confused.
Samuel rarely saw James like this. After thinking for a while, he still said, "President?"
"Yes." James touched his nose and coughed uneasily. Then he said, "It's... it's the friend I mentioned to you that day, he..."
"What's wrong?"
"Hey! How should I put it?" he said, irritably stroking his hair. "Haven't I told you that he has a female friend? She actually bought a piece of clothing for my friend, and she even..." He swallowed the words "buttoning him" when he was about to say it. "What do you think?"
He was too embarrassed to ask Ben and Isaac Bai about this kind of question. Maybe he would be laughed at. Samuel might look silly sometimes, but it's better to have Samuel give him suggestions.
Samuel also seemed to be stumped by this question. He asked an irrelevant question, "President, your friend is Ben or Dr. Bai?"
James glared at him unhappily. "Why do you ask this?"
"I mean, if the friend you refer to is one of them, these problems are actually easy to solve. They are all smart and intelligent people, how can they not understand this matter? But if it weren't for them." Samuel looked at his president in confusion. "You don't have any other friends, do you? You shouldn't be so worried about this kind of thing!" When did his president become so keen on gossips?
James Lu suddenly felt very uncomfortable. What did Samuel mean? Samuel praised Benjamin and Isaac Bai very smart and knowledgeable, but now actually it's him with the problem... so, he turned to be the guy without IQ?
He angrily threw the lighter in his hand on the desk, and when he was about to rebuke him, it suddenly came down to him that he had to ask Samuel for help, so he had to restrain his anger. "Who regulated that I should have no other friends besides them? You? You said that if it were them, they should have already figured it out by themselves, right. So, you are smart, you should have understood what's going on there, right? Tell me then, I have to solve the problem for my good friend."
An awkward look appeared on Samuel Lee's clear face when he heard that. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't understand, either, President."
"Hiss—" James closed his eyes but did not make a sound in the end. "You can't even figure out such a simple problem. Why do you think I should spend so much money hiring you? Get out!"
Samuel scrambled for equilibrium. It was true that he got a big salary, but can he do everything perfectly and be omnipotent?
Moreover, although he was 28 years old now, he had never been in a relationship. When he was in school, he just focused on his study. Now he finally graduated and had a good job, but he was too busy to have time to date. He's a man who relied on reading love novels to kill time when he was free. How sad?
It didn't matter he was often urged to get married by his family, neither from time to time, he had to bear the loneliness while other couples were showing affection. But now he had to deal with the matter between a man and a woman for his president. Wasn't it making things difficult for him?
"Alas! Nowadays, it's not easy to be single!"
