her beauty that he forgot his orders. As the saying
went, a man would run the risk of being bold enough
for sex. When he saw Xi Si, he forgot that she was
his superior’s dream girl. He was going to obtain her
for himself. He fixed his eyes on her for a long time.
Just as he was going to throw himself upon her, he
hesitated for a moment, and Xi Si was very clever
and quick. She took the chance to rush out of his
office.
He invited Xi Si again but she refused to see him.
He knew it was impossible for him to win her over.
He thought of his superior. He thought of the task
that his superior had given him. He invited Xi Si
many times to talk, but she refused to see him. So he
asked Elephant for help.
