Call Me What

Creeak~

Just as the atmosphere in the conference room gradually became awkward, the secretary Wan Ke, wearing a pair of glasses with gold-rimmed frames and high heels, walked in carrying a file folder.

"Everyone, please take a seat. The Chief is here."

Upon hearing this, the four people stifled their mocking laughter, and Hoshino Kannon let out a cold snort before sitting down.

"Ah~"

Not long after, Fang Yuanyuan walked into the conference room wearing a pink, tight-fitting leather battle suit, with her hair tied into two pigtails. She was holding a bottle of "Otaku's Delight" and yawning with tired eyes.

"Chief."

Hoshino Kannon and the others stood up, including the twelve members of The Twelve Owls.

"Sit down, sit down."

Fang Yuanyuan made her way to the chief's seat, stretched lazily, waved her hand, and sat down.

The others then sat down as well.

"Is everyone here?" Fang Yuanyuan asked.

"Yes, Lin Yu will be here soon," Wan Ke replied.

"Good, let's announce it and get it over with quickly." Fang Yuanyuan rested her chin on her hand, looking exhausted.

Wan Ke nodded, opened the file folder, and began, "Today, I've gathered you all here to introduce Lin Yu, who will be replacing Gong Fei as a member of The Twelve Owls."

After saying this, Wan Ke looked towards another door in the conference room, "Mr. Lin, please come in."

Swish!

The conference room door opened.

Wearing a black leather jacket and flipping his bangs, Lin Yu entered the conference room.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Yu, and from now on, I will be..."

Lin Yu greeted the group but trailed off when he saw something that caught his attention.

Gu Chenan, sitting next to Hoshino Kannon, had his arms crossed and was looking at Lin Yu with a confident smile.

Lin Yu: "?"

Gu... Gu Chenan?

What is he doing here?

What's going on?

"What's wrong, Lin Yu? Go on," Fang Yuanyuan glared at Lin Yu.

Don't waste time, okay? I've already made plans for a passionate five-round session today!

"Ahem."

Lin Yu pulled his gaze away and cleared his throat before continuing, "From now on, I will be your colleague. Please guide me."

"Oh, great."

Fang Yuanyuan immediately started clapping, but her tone and expression screamed "perfunctory."

The others also started clapping and said, "Welcome, welcome."

"Mr. Lin, you can take a seat here." Wan Ke pointed to the seat that previously belonged to Gong Fei.

"Thank you." Lin Yu nodded, his gaze shifting between Gu Chenan and Hoshino Kannon.

What is going on?

Why is Kannon getting so close to Gu Chenan?

When did they start dating?

Damn it, Kannon and I haven't even done anything yet. Could it be that Gu Chenan has beaten me to it?

As if sensing Lin Yu's gaze, Hoshino Kannon leaned towards Gu Chenan, snuggling up to him like a little cat, seemingly to let Lin Yu know about their relationship.

Seeing this, Lin Yu's eyes widened.

Damn you!

Gu Chenan, you bastard!

How the hell did you manage to get Kannon?

It should have been me that Kannon was cuddling up to!

Argh!!

Lin Yu screamed internally, but he couldn't express it in front of so many people, so he could only grit his teeth and take his seat.

At this point, Wan Ke picked up the file folder.

"Although the Chief has decided to let Lin Yu join The Twelve Owls, we still need to go through the proper procedures."

"Everyone, who wants to challenge Lin Yu?"

Wan Ke looked towards the other Owls.

They exchanged glances, but no one seemed keen to step up.

No one wanted to take on such a thankless task. Since the Chief had already decided to let Lin Yu take Gong Fei's position, if they challenged and defeated Lin Yu, it would be seen as disrespecting the Chief's decision.

But if Lin Yu defeated them, their strength would be questioned.

"I will!"

At this moment, Hoshino Kannon suddenly stood up, "I'll challenge Lin Yu."

Everyone was taken aback.

"Tsk~ This Hoshino Kannon is something else, to actually challenge her own boyfriend whom she recommended, just to get him a position."

"Tch, unbelievable."

"That Gu Chenan is no man, letting a woman fight his battles for him."

Several people scoffed.

"Kannon, have you forgotten the organization's rules? As Lin Yu's recommender, you cannot be his challenger," Fang Yuanyuan said with a yawn.

Hearing this, Hoshino Kannon shook her head disappointedly and sat back down.

Fang Yuanyuan turned to the other four Owls, "Well, which one of you four will challenge Lin Yu?"

The four of them looked at each other, and the woman known as Hua Liran sighed.

"I suppose I'll do it."

Hua Liran, who appeared to be in her early thirties, wore a form-fitting cheongsam dress and a fur coat draped over her shoulders, exuding an air of elegance and refinement, like a wealthy matriarch from a television drama.

When Lin Yu saw Hua Liran, his eyebrows raised, and his heart skipped a beat.

I didn't expect that the one challenging me would be this beautiful woman.

Why does she want to challenge me? Could it be...

Lin Yu's gaze swept over Hua Liran, and a thought occurred to him.

Could it be that she... likes me?

Hmm, it seems likely. After all, I, Lin Yu, am quite the handsome young man with a reputation around here. It's not impossible for a wealthy older woman to take a liking to me.

"Alright, then it's Hua," Fang Yuanyuan said, her gaze shifting to Gu Chenan. "Hua, after your challenge with Lin Yu, test Gu Chenan's skills as well."

Upon hearing these words, the entire room fell silent for a few seconds before erupting into a commotion.

"What... what does this mean?" Lin Yu looked at Fang Yuanyuan in disbelief. "Chief, didn't you say I was already confirmed? Why do you need to test Gu Chenan's skills as well?"

The others were also surprised by Fang Yuanyuan's words.

"Chief, are you considering letting Gu Chenan take Gong Fei's position?"

"Gu Chenan is just a rich kid. What skills does he have worth testing?"

"Shh!"

Fang Yuanyuan raised her hand to silence them. "I know, I know, but didn't Kannon say that Gu Chenan is more suitable for The Twelve Owls than Lin Yu? Why not test it out? It's not like anyone will get pregnant."

"Besides, I find Gu Chenan more appealing."

More appealing??

Hearing this, Lin Yu glared at Gu Chenan with a murderous look.

How could he be more appealing than me?

Aside from being slightly more handsome, having a better physique, being richer, and having a better background than me, what else does he have that makes him more appealing?!

Hua Liran was also taken aback but soon looked at Gu Chenan with an amused smile.

"What I said earlier wasn't a joke. You should consider it carefully. Maybe I'll go easy on you when we fight~"

"Heh heh."

Gu Chenan chuckled lightly, ignoring Hua Liran's words. He stood up and faced Fang Yuanyuan, "Thank you, Chief."

"Tsk!"

Fang Yuanyuan frowned, "What did you call me?"

Gu Chenan immediately realized his mistake and corrected himself with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Fang."

"That's better!"

Witnessing this exchange, everyone was stunned.

What is going on?

Is Gu Chenan the Chief's brother? Why is he calling the Chief 'Sister Fang'?

No, wait, why is the Chief letting Gu Chenan call her that?

What the hell?

...

You don't need to spend a lot, just a free donation of love would be appreciated.

Please!
