I Advise You To Like Me As Soon As Possible

Chapter 7

<Translated By Crystal>

Ning Wan waited and fretted for a whole day after sending her self-recommendation email. She couldn't sleep well because she re-read the email every half hour, and the next day, she went to work with dark circles under her eyes.

In contrast to her visible exhaustion, Fu Zheng looked radiant. He seemed to have somehow regained his peace of mind. At the moment, he was sitting quietly on the plastic stool, his face calm, as if he had accepted the arrangements of fate and the beatings of life and decided to spend the rest of his days being clever and obedient.

Look at that! Even Fu Zheng had grown up overnight, so why was no one answering her email?!

Lamenting in her heart, Ning Wan began to work. As she fielded the the 14th legal consultation call today, Old Ji from next door scurried in.

"Xiao Fu, isn't it?" He smiled kindly. "I'm the director of the Social Work Committee of Yuelan Neighbourhood. You can call me Old Ji. I need you to write me a self-introduction of about 200 words, and send me a 2-inch photo of yourself." He explained, "In order to encourage residents of our community to consult, our community announcements and website has a biography area for our community lawyers. We're doing an update pretty soon, and since you just arrived, we can get you included if you can quickly slap something together."

Finishing his spiel quickly, Old Ji looked toward Ning Wan. "Ning Wan, send Xiao Fu's photo and self-introduction to our publicity email!" He looked at his watch and ran. "I've got to go, I'm running late! I'll let you take care of it!"

"All right then, add me on WeChat." Ning Wan fished out her mobile phone reluctantly. "Go ahead and scan."

She still felt that Fu Zheng was incapable of staying here for long. If it weren't for Old Ji's request, she wouldn't have bothered adding his contact information just based on their plastic work relationship.

Fu Zheng probably thought so too, because he too slowly took out his phone and grudgingly scanned her QR code, looking for all the world like a chaste woman forced into prostitution. Ning Wan suspected that he might just send her the photo and then delete her contact information, as if she didn't deserve to be in his noble circle of friends...

However, since she had not received a reply to her email, she was wan and sluggish and and didn't feel like sparring with Fu Zheng. She didn't even feel like ignoring him. What did summer insects know about winter? What would someone who entered through a backdoor know about career planning in the industry?

Just then, Fu Zheng sent his brief introduction and photo. Ning Wan looked at the overly-recognizable photo and told him, "Find another photo."

Fu Zheng raised his head to look at her with the same beautiful eyes as the photo, frowning. "Does that one not meet the requirements?"

It did, but it was too beautiful. Although objectively speaking the photo was inferior to the living, breathing version of Fu Zheng, it was a complete no-go as it was. It looked like a photo one would send to a blind date.

Gold and jade on the outside, rotten cotton on the inside. Although he had gotten here through nepotism, his looks were remarkable. Even with his mediocre abilities, he should have no problem using his face to eat.

Since she had to answer an incoming call, she suggested succinctly and kindly, "One that's ugly."

Unfortunately, Fu Zheng's face turned dark upon hearing this. "I don't have any ugly photos."

"Then a slightly uglier one," Ning Wan advised him genuinely. "Or an ordinary-looking one. This really is in your best interests."

"I don't have a photo like that." Despite her good intentions, Fu Zheng rejected her coolly and elegantly, without even thinking or realizing her kindness. "Just use this one."
