TVSFPAG -Chapter 73 You’ve Rubbed Off All My Makeup!

Because of traffic congestion, a distance of just one kilometer took a full half hour.

After getting into the car, Song Yunfei took out her phone to check her makeup. After such a short while, it had already started to oxidize due to the heat.

She put her phone away, sighed, then closed her eyes to rest.

After all, if traffic didn’t last an hour, they wouldn’t be able to reach the destination.

The car kept stopping and starting, and the gentle swaying actually lulled her to sleep.

It was Chu Jinhan who woke her up.

Song Yunfei instinctively rubbed her eyes and looked outside groggily. “Are we there?”

“Yes.”

The restaurant appeared quite well decorated. Although it couldn’t compare to a five-star hotel, it was still considered one of the better establishments in Qingcheng.

Standing at the entrance, Song Yunfei couldn’t help but ask again, “Did you tell them you were bringing me?”

“Manager He specifically asked me to bring you. Don’t worry—other people’s family members are also here.”

Song Yunfei let out an “oh.” “Alright then, I feel reassured.”

Just as she was about to step inside, Chu Jinhan pulled her back. “Wait.”

“What’s wrong?”

“You’ve got something on your eyes.” As he spoke, he kindly raised his hand and helped remove it.

Song Yunfei looked at the thing in his hand, the corner of her mouth twitching.

He had pulled off her double eyelid tape!

“There’s some on the other side too.”

“……”

Both pieces of double eyelid tape were removed. Song Yunfei looked at him speechlessly.

Seeing her resentful gaze, Chu Jinhan subconsciously looked at the tape in his hand.

Then, silently, he tried to put it back on for her.

But his technique was poor—either crooked or too high. After several attempts, he even broke into a thin layer of sweat from frustration.

Finally, he managed to place it in the right position—but it wouldn’t stick properly, with both ends lifting up.

Song Yunfei swatted his hand away. “Alright, stop. You’ve rubbed off all my makeup!”

She took out her phone, opened the front camera, and saw that her eye makeup had been smeared into dark circles. Her whole expression soured.

She glared at Chu Jinhan through gritted teeth.

A rare hint of helplessness flashed across Chu Jinhan’s face. “Sorry.”

“Forget it, forget it.”

She waved it off in resignation, then pulled out wet wipes from her bag and used her phone as a mirror to remove her makeup.

After that, she went into the restroom and washed her face, completely removing all traces of makeup.

It seemed he truly hadn’t paid much attention to the original owner before—he didn’t even know what double eyelid tape was.

Chu Jinhan waited outside the restroom. When she came out, he said, “You look better like this.”

Song Yunfei gave him a strange look, then found it a bit amusing—he was even trying to cover things up for himself.

The two of them arrived at the private room. The door was slightly ajar, and the atmosphere inside was lively.

Before they even entered, they heard Manager He inside saying, “I’m warning you all—later on, when that guy Xiao Chu brings his girlfriend, some of you better rein in those starry-eyed looks! And don’t go crowding around her!”

Someone immediately protested, “Who’s being starry-eyed? Manager He, don’t slander people.”

“Especially you—I’ve seen you multiple times during work hours watching videos of men changing clothes on your phone! There are not enough men on the internet for you to watch, and now you’re eyeing coworkers?”

“Those are called cosplay transformations, not changing clothes!”

No matter how handsome someone is online, you can’t touch them—but in real life, you actually can.

Wang Qiang said, “Manager He is right. You women act like you’ve never seen a man before. If his girlfriend gets angry later, Xiao Chu will have to take leave to go back and appease her. If that delays work, be careful—Manager He might deduct your salary.”

Manager He’s reminder wasn’t without reason.

He still remembered the first company dinner—those female employees were like dogs seeing bones, doing everything they could to get close to Chu Jinhan.

And then, coincidentally, Chu Jinhan’s girlfriend was checking up on him at the time. She was on a video call, and some ill-intentioned people deliberately tried to get into the camera frame.

After that, Chu Jinhan never attended a company dinner again.

Not only that, all the contact information of female colleagues in the company was deleted overnight by him. Several female employees were caught in the crossfire—when they needed to contact him for work, they couldn’t reach him at all and were furious.

No need to think—this was all his girlfriend’s doing.

Although everyone privately complained about his girlfriend and said they disliked her, deep down they resented that they themselves weren’t Song Yunfei.

Hearing them discuss herself and Chu Jinhan, Song Yunfei subconsciously glanced at the man beside her.

“Am I really that annoying?”

Chu Jinhan turned to look at her and took her hand. “They’re talking nonsense. Don’t listen.”

Song Yunfei only knew her reputation at his company wasn’t good, but she hadn’t expected it to be this notorious.

However, she had a good mentality. After working in interior design for years, her temper had long been worn down by clients.

Compared to these people gossiping about her, she was more worried about whether Chu Jinhan disliked her.

“It’s fine, I don’t care.” She also held Chu Jinhan’s hand. “Let’s go in.”

The moment the two entered, the previously noisy private room suddenly fell silent.

Counting the family members, there were nearly thirty people, all looking toward the entrance in unison.

Chu Jinhan held her hand and walked in calmly and naturally.

Manager He waved them over. “Come, come, sit here.”

To ensure the dinner went smoothly, Manager He had deliberately reserved the seats next to him for them to prevent certain people from causing trouble.

Although he was the boss, apart from work matters, he couldn’t restrict others’ morals, so he could only try to avoid issues as much as possible.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Manager He asked Hu Yao to call the waiter to start serving the dishes.

Song Yunfei sat quietly beside Chu Jinhan, not daring to speak at all.

Because many people had brought their family members, everyone at the table wasn’t very relaxed, and the atmosphere wasn’t particularly lively.

Only a few salespeople were bragging.

Especially Wang Qiang—after drinking a bit, he started boasting about everything under the sun.

Song Yunfei unexpectedly heard some gossip about Manager He from Wang Qiang.

It turned out that Manager He was divorced, and his ex-wife was that same Wang Xinjun—the one who had competed with him for clients at the exhibition before.

The two had started the business together, but due to disagreements during the startup phase, they often argued. In a fit of anger, they divorced.

His ex-wife, in order to prove she was right, took her share of the assets from the divorce and went on to start her own garment factory.

Because they had been married, their previous clients had been shared between them.

After Wang Xinjun started her factory, she ended up taking away most of the clients.

This caused Manager He’s factory revenue to decline steadily, and with increasing competition in the industry, his factory was on the verge of shutting down.

Speaking of his hardships, Manager He couldn’t help but sigh and wipe his tears. “That woman isn’t a good person. On the day of the divorce, she even moved the bed away and dismantled the toilet. In the middle of winter, I went back to sleep on the floor, and I didn’t even have a place to use the bathroom…”

Clearly, everyone had heard this story so many times they were numb to it. It seemed he had repeated it more than once.

Wang Qiang said, “Women should just stay at home, be given money, and that’s it. Otherwise, once they go out to work, they’ll realize every man outside is better than their own husband.”

Someone immediately refuted him, “And you men aren’t the same? Falling for every person you see? Only useless men worry about their wives being taken away.”

After the female colleague said this, Chu Jinhan, who was rinsing his bowl with hot water, subconsciously looked up at her.
