Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 441 Heartless in a CEO Novel (21)

There was no response from the riverbank at Zhongbei.

After leaving the various documents at the Huisheng Tower, Manager Jin arranged for cars to take them home one by one. Although they were in different cars, Xia Youmi and Shao Yunshen were going in the same direction.

One of them got out of the car in the residential area, while the other stopped the car by the Zhongbei River outside the residential area.

I saw Xia Youmi walking away.

Shao Yunshen suddenly turned towards the riverbank.

Standing still and looking back, I recalled the only thing I had learned from that noisy accident.

A young couple, embracing each other beautifully.

A fleeting glance reveals her captivating beauty.

While everyone was puzzled by Mu Yongqing's inexplicable interest in Xia Youmi, he was able to empathize with her and understand that it was during that time when the group first met.

His heart began to spiral out of control, but fortunately the dosage was low, and the blurry vision from the distance allowed him to maintain his composure.

But Mu Yongqing, who met his gaze, was not so calm.

He exposed his true emotions to his negotiating partner, giving him the opportunity to strike. He secured a much larger profit than expected, which is why he wasn't so easily able to refuse Mu Yongqing's request to go to Bao City this time.

His initial probing and offense towards Xia Youmi was partly aimed at Shao Yunshen.

Old foxes are such troublesome creatures!

However, everything that happens is in my favor. Who knows if the opportunity will come from Mu Yongqing?

Shao Yunshen was confident and proud, but at the same time, he was aware of the weaknesses he had to hide.

That kind of weakness that is most irresistible.

......

Latest gossip from Shenta: Secretary Xia is single again.

"She said it herself?"

"No, but it's obvious that no one comes to pick her up after get off work, and she's always icy cold. When asked about her boyfriend, she just looks sullen and doesn't want to talk about it."

"That's nothing, it's just that the occasional dejection and vulnerability he shows are absolutely amazing."

"how do you know!"

"Ha! Secretary Xia was willing to go out for drinks with her colleagues after get off work, so she must have been drunk. The feeling of hiding and secretly licking her wounds because of heartbreak couldn't be more real."

"I still don't believe it. The young couple doesn't seem to have any conflicts."

"The biggest problem is the absence of conflict! They're so fake! I also heard that during this business trip, the president of a business partner took a liking to Secretary Xia and wanted to go to her. Although she was rejected, and our president is protecting her, do you think an ordinary doctor wouldn't have some reservations? What makes him think he can compete with such a big boss for her?" the male colleague shouted.

"vulgar!"

"You think you're so superior!"

"Hehe, I'm good at judging people. Secretary Xia isn't someone who cares about material things. Her boyfriend clearly provides excellent emotional support." The female colleague muttered softly, "If you can choose a handsome guy, who wants to watch those old men giving orders?"

"I agree."

"Tch! You women can't reason with me. They have no idea what kind of scale Shenta and its partners have in the market, what kind of influence they can achieve, or what kind of lifestyle they lead." The male colleague knew more inside information, although he only dared to use "partners" to refer to them, but it was obvious that he knew it was Mu Yongqing, the president of Baoqing Group.

That expression,

I wish I could take Xia Youmi's place.

"whispering sound--"

"Even if she breaks up with her boyfriend, she should choose someone like our CEO," a colleague said matter-of-factly. "Our CEO is young and promising, much more handsome and well-matched than those other big-name CEOs on the market! At least Secretary Xia has the advantages of being close to the right person."

"Yes, I agree."

"We need an attractive couple! Besides, her abilities alone are enough to match."

"What are you thinking! Our CEO comes from the Shaw family! Do you understand the Shaw family? They're the kind of family that arranges marriages with daughters of powerful families!" the male colleague exclaimed indignantly. "Besides, let alone Secretary Xia, even Secretary Luo's family background isn't good enough for her! And, such a prestigious family wouldn't want a woman who's already had a boyfriend; they're very strict!"

"You found out again. How ridiculous. Would a ruthless and independent CEO like yourself listen to your family's arranged marriage?"

"Why not? Do you know how many families of marriageable age are raising daughters! Just to be a match for the young master of the Shao family. Not only must they be highly educated, but they must also be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, laundry, cooking, and everything else. They can't even date before they're ready." The male colleague spoke with pride, as if he were one of them, and could fluently recite long passages about those rules and requirements.

However, his background was one that allowed him to rise to a higher position.

He was the illegitimate son of a branch of a family business, and he was raised with this kind of education. He worked hard to prove himself, but in the end, he still had to beg his family to help him pass the Shinta interview.

Naturally, a sense of belonging arose from relying on connections.

His protection of Shenta and his circle of friends is simply outrageous. Everyone knows about his flaws, but they can't help it because he actually knows a little bit about them and loves gossip and sharing.

He can be selectively precise in what he says.

He both loves and hates; that's his way of life.

But this time, his evaluation and analysis of Xia Youmi were wrong. Almost all women could sense that Yu Li and Xia Youmi's aura was irreplaceable. In fact, the other woman's dejection was more due to her boyfriend's absence.

It's not that there are problems with the relationship.

Men are more visually oriented, and their brains draw conclusions based on simpler processing.

A girlfriend coveted by a more powerful group—you can't protect her, and you can't force it.

Going out to avoid the storm is the most dignified choice.

Once everything settles down, I can come back without facing moral pressure and criticism. Perhaps the other party's boss will feel threatened and proactively pay up to settle the matter.

I'm telling you to get lost and stay away from causing trouble.

Finally, I made money and lived a carefree life; another spring has arrived.

Such gossip often unfolded in the corners, at least proving that Xia Youmi's performance was effective. Nian Nian also successfully joined the small shop invested by Xia Youmi, not far from Shenta Group, a quaint little storefront selling pet supplies.

The product range and quantity are not large at the moment, but they are good products that have been designed and tested little by little over the years.

There's a small shop that can understand the needs of animals called "Abundant Harvest Every Year". The first customer was a zookeeper who drove all the way to support the animals; this was pre-booked at the park.

The shop ordered products in several sizes, with the extra-large size based on stars.

Therefore, it couldn't be more convenient for him to pick up the goods.

The product also features Niannian's logo, which she designed herself. Currently, it's only being promoted within Niannian's paid fan group on her own video account, so stock is limited.

The calculations were quite accurate.

Once the first batch of feedback is received, we can begin designing and manufacturing the series of products.

Although computation is not too difficult for the system, it cannot generalize from a single instance since it has just acquired physical form. It is crucial that it learns to empathize with the feelings and experiences of different animals, starting from its own experience.

It also studied the stars carefully while interacting with them, and would occasionally go for walks and conduct more research.

The employees at Xia Youmi are all loyal fans of the brand, having been selected through a survey and proactively volunteering to stay on. The selection process is always two-way; after personally discussing compensation with Xia Youmi, the fans felt much more at ease.

In addition, she is a devoted believer year after year, a chuunibyou girl who believes it can transform into a high-dimensional intelligent being.

She is strict yet measured, very responsible, and takes protecting the secret of each year as her motto. She is also a volunteer, often involved in animal rescue, and has studied early childhood education; she is very good at coaxing children, customers, and small animals.

She maintains a distance between herself and the shop assistants like an idol and a fan every year, but she becomes very lively in front of Xia Youmi.

Some animals have said that while they don't fully understand human language, they can sense emotions. And the shop assistant is like a top salesperson in the animal kingdom; her charisma always captivates customers.

Let the other person throw a tantrum, just like a child wanting their owner to buy them toys.

Once you've actually bought it, the shop assistant will tell the animal to be good and not make a fuss at home, and that if it behaves well, there will be another chance to buy it next time.

Xia Youmi often comes to help them improve their quality of life, continuously improving factors such as the environment and diet. In addition to the store and warehouse, there is also a rest room for her and Niannian upstairs, separated from the temporary rest room for the staff by a door.

Though small, the sparrow has all the vital organs.

He's all smiles and carefree when he's in charge, but he plays the bad cop when he gets back to the office.

This calm continued until another small cocktail party.

The group consisted mostly of young people, making it a relatively dynamic alliance. Shao Yunshen was a newly joined big shot. He seemed difficult to get along with, but like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, he was being heavily pampered by the second-generation heirs from various companies.

He always used polite yet slightly offensive language to get him to drink.

Unfortunately, in this particular match, Jin Shunmei, who had the best alcohol tolerance, fell ill, Luo Yu and An Yubei were both relatively weak, and Xia Youmi took on the role of driver and did not participate in the arena at all.

The result was that everyone got completely drunk and passed out.

Shao Yunshen has never liked hiring a full-time driver. He either drives himself or has a vetted assistant or secretary temporarily take over.

The important task tonight fell on Xia Youmi, who was expected to be honest and obedient.

He was drunk and disorderly.

At most, she belongs to Qiu Ling, but this is a niche area.

As they passed the entrance to Xia Youmi's residential area, they again insisted on stopping by the Zhongbei River.

resignedly,

The only thing they could do was open the window in the nearest parking lot so he could get a distant view of the river. Xia Youmi tapped the steering wheel idly, when a thunderclap suddenly sounded.

"Secretary Xia, look at me."
