The Legendary Manager of The Untamed

Chapter 18: First Step for Love

[Author P.O.V.]

"For God's sake," Yu Bin said, "Cut the crap, Wang-Soo."

"The girl is Jinzi Xu," I said, "Our co-editor."

"What?!" The three of them shouted at the top of their voice, "It's Jinzi!?!?"

"Yes, it's her," LHK said lowering his head.

"Jin-jin... Jinzi..." Ji Li said, "Now it makes sense!"

"You're addressing her with a pet name," Zhuocheng asked LHK, "Did you already proposed her or something?"

"No, I haven't yet," LHK scratched his head.

"You didn't even give her a hint, did you?" He asked again.

"It's just been only a few days I've started to like her," LHK replied irritatedly, "Shouldn't I prepare myself first?"

"Why did you choose her anyway?" I asked.

"Wasn't it you who mentioned the co-editor to me this morning and told me that I should have a girlfriend now?" He asked back.

"Yes, I did," I scratched my head, "But I never thought you would obey it word to word."

"Your recommendation is just an excuse, Soobin," Ji Li said, "He himself admitted that he had eyes on Jinzi from earlier."

"Hey, guys," LHK said, "Stop acting weird. It's just been 2 or 3 days only!"

All of us remained silent for a few moments.

"But, Hai Kuan ge," I said, "You didn't tell Zan-zan about Jinzi, did you?"

"Well, I was about to...." he tried to explain.

"But you didn't!" I said, "This could've cleared all the misconception. Then why did you keep silent?"

"Don't you guys know how Xiao-zhu behaves when he's angry with me," he sighed, "He left me no chance to speak."

"This problem is way more serious than the douyin video," Zhucheng said, "Hai Kuan ge, how are we gonna solve this mess?"

"There might be two ways to make things right," Yu Bin said to LHK, "Way number 1; you meet Zan-zan tonight and tell him the truth."

"But will he believe it so easily?" Ji Li said, "I don't think so."

"I don't think that either," Yu Bin said, "That's why we have a plan B!"

"Then spit it out fast," LHK said, "Don't waste time because we don't have much."

"The second way is that Hai Kuan ge proposes Jinzi and gets her to like him back first," Yu Bin said, "Then he goes to Zanjin and tells him who the real 'Jin-jin' is."

"I don't think it will be as easy as you say," I said.

"You don't have to worry about Zanjin," he said, "Convincing him won't be a problem then."

"I'm not talking about Zanjin," I said, "I'm talking about Jinzi."

"Why? What's wrong with her, Soobin?" Ji Li asked, "Is she not interested in boys?"

"No, no, it's not like that," I laughed, "As I know her quite well personally, impressing her is gonna be a mammoth task."

"But she looks quite easy-going, doesn't she?" Zhuocheng asked.

"Yes, she does," I said, "But our Hai Kuan ge is introverted to a great extent. On the other hand, Jinzi is obsessed with electronic devices which our guy is allergic to. Again, our Hai Kuan ge is a calm person and Jinzi is quite messy and fun-loving. He has patience but she gets pissed off easily. They are opposites in every single aspect."
