Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 179 - 180: This Is a Big Deal

Of course, Qian couldn’t really book a room; Yu Mingyi directly took her and Dong Yi to the company guesthouse.

The guesthouse was right near the second brother’s workplace. Dong Yi looked up longingly at the planes in the sky—it had always been her dream to become a pilot.

"Second brother, do your check-ups include psychological tests?" Qian asked.

Yu Mingyi nodded while driving, "Yes. During pilot recruitment, there’s a strict assessment. Those with good psychological qualities can score extra points."

Dong Yi immediately looked disheartened. Not only was she a bit nearsighted, but she probably couldn’t pass the psychological test either.

"What kind of projects are there for pilot recruitment? Are there game consoles?" Qian was very curious about this.

She had many patients, but since she never had a pilot as a patient, she couldn’t verify this. She’d only heard rumors about it.

"What?" Second brother was a bit confused.

"I mean the special abilities test. The books don’t describe it in much detail." Qian was curious.

"Are you talking about flight simulation in the pilot recruitment process?"

There’s a throttle and joystick; you sit in a chair and watch a screen to simulate flying, kind of like a computer game.

"Yes, that’s it. When I saw that, I always wondered, would there be enemy bombers on the screen for you to shoot down? Whoever scores the highest would qualify." If that’s how it worked, her spoiled brat Chen Zilong might actually score perfectly.

"There’s no shooting down enemy planes. During the simulation, you also have to do math problems and quickly calculate mentally, then use your left hand to choose the answer."

Multitasking is a basic skill.

As Yu Mingyi talked about these things, he spoke a bit more than usual. Dong Yi envied how Qian smoothly interacted with all sorts of people—she didn’t have such an ability.

"You have to fly and do problems at the same time?"

"Yep. Once pilots are in the air, they have to handle many things independently and must keep track of everything."

Yu Mingyi answered seriously.

Qian’s thoughts were somewhat less serious.

In her past life, when she was dating Yu Minglang, he had bragged that his old job had trained him in basic aviation skills, saying he scored full marks in special abilities and could multitask effortlessly. Unfortunately, they only let him operate gliders instead of actual planes.

Yu Minglang boasted he could fly and perform...indescribable acts simultaneously without pressure—but those were all tales from Xiaoqiang’s past life, and Qian didn’t buy it.

However, seeing Mr. Yu looking as steady as a mountain, she suddenly thought, maybe Mr. Yu could fly and do something... heh heh, with who, Wang Xiaohong?

Just as Qian was lost in thought, she suddenly heard Dong Yi say, "I wonder if I’ll ever have the chance to ride on an airplane piloted by Uncle."

To this question, Yu Mingyi remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

"Ahem! Pfft!" Qian choked.

Dong Yi’s remark was fine, but coming out while the female boss was having such mischievous thoughts, it felt so...

"Qian, what’s wrong?" Dong Yi asked. Qian shook her head, unwilling to admit how coincidentally Dong Yi’s and her thoughts aligned, quite frightening.

Dong Yi thought Uncle would take them directly to the treatment place, but she didn’t expect Yu Mingyi to bring them to the guesthouse cafeteria.

"Let’s eat first. We’ll talk after the meal," Yu Mingyi said as he arranged for them to sit down and order.

Dong Yi, feeling uneasy, asked Qian quietly, "Do we need to pay?"

"It’s complimentary. Eat as much as you want."

At Yu Mingyi’s level, there are several free hosting days per year, so no need to spend money.

"But... will it cause trouble for him?" Dong Yi wasn’t sure about the regulations here, but she knew she absolutely couldn’t cause any trouble for Yu Mingyi.

"It won’t be a problem. Mr. Yu handles things very smoothly, so just eat with peace of mind."

This was the first time Qian had chatted so much with Yu Mingyi. From his behavior and actions, she’d already concluded that Yu Mingyi was definitely not a rash person—very smart, perhaps a bit reserved, but certainly not foolish.

She tested him with the hotel suggestion; he didn’t object but instead brought her and Dong Yi here after meeting, expressing unconditional trust in his brother’s girlfriend while also tactfully avoiding suspicion. Everything was handled without fault—much more comprehensively than his brother, who once took someone fishing in the wilderness without thinking. Such a person marrying Wang Xiaohong—it truly was an enigmatic puzzle, and they were not a match at all.

While Qian pondered, Yu Mingyi returned carrying dishes, with a few more that needed to be cooked and would be sent out later.

"Uncle, you don’t have to waste so much food; we can’t finish it."

"It’s okay. I’ve been meaning to chat with you since last time, and now we have the chance, so eat plenty." Yu Mingyi’s interaction with Dong Yi was entirely the feeling of an elder with a junior.

Qian felt awkward.

Why did she feel the seniority here was...messy?

"Dong Yi, he isn’t that many years older than you; can’t you call him something other than Uncle? If you call him Uncle, what should I call him?"

This was Yu Minglang’s second brother, and Dong Yi was her roommate. Dong Yi calling him Uncle made the address a bit awkward.

"I... I can’t change it." Dong Yi had called him that from the start and couldn’t switch to calling him second brother like Qian; doing that felt sacrilegious to her idol.

"It’s okay; it’s just a designation. Whatever you feel comfortable with is fine. Are you adapting well to school? Keeping up with the classes?" Second brother asked.

Dong Yi immediately put down her chopsticks and answered seriously.

"School is great. They waive tuition for students from special regions like ours and take excellent care of us. The dormitory arrangements are very good, too. I share a room with Qian, and I’m keeping up with my studies. Qian often helps tutor me."

"Are you two giving a report? Can you be less formal?" Qian couldn’t bear it anymore. Mr. Yu was just a very serious person, and Dong Yi was so earnest. Together, they instantly turned the cafeteria into a reporting meeting.

Mr. Yu nodded. He was indeed too serious, mainly because he wasn’t good at interacting with young people, so he served Dong Yi a piece of rib.

"Eat more."

Dong Yi nodded happily, unwilling to eat the food Uncle served.

This scene was witnessed by Wang Xiaobo.

Wang Xiaobo didn’t yet know that his sister was divorced, as Wang Xiaohong was sent away for treatment by Mr. Yu’s elder brother and told her family she was on a business trip. The second brother’s apartment was still temporarily occupied by the Wang family.

So, Wang Xiaobo still didn’t know that his sister was caught cheating and kicked out.

He had friends visiting and wanted to freeload at the guesthouse, and Wang Xiaobo readily agreed. He thought he could use his brother-in-law’s name to get away with it since there were so many empty rooms—it was just a matter of saying a word.

However, the front desk told him that Yu Mingyi had instructed them that if Wang Xiaobo tried to exploit him for freebies, they should directly send him away. Unconvinced, Wang Xiaobo pestered the front desk until they told him Yu Mingyi was in the guesthouse cafeteria, so he could talk to the leader directly.

He came over and saw that Yu Mingyi was serving Dong Yi food. Damn, is this for real? In all the years with his sister, he’s never served her food! Is this an affair?

Moreover, having an affair with two pretty girls at once—this is huge!
