Chapter 2: Serve Food, Make Beds for the CEO
Shen Chi had thought bad luck would follow him everywhere. He had not expected that this NPC character setting would actually be unexpectedly decent.
Secretary Shen was aloof, beautiful, and smart. Because of his existence, the domineering CEO male lead, who should have been extremely busy, could date without any worries.
By the time Shen Chi heard the last part, he almost failed to keep his expression together. What kind of secretary was this? This damn thing was called a corporate slave!
“Tell me, when the male lead is dating, what exactly will happen?”
The system said, [There will be prompts when the time comes. I took a rough look. You’ll have to tear apart green-tea bitches with your hands and kick white lotuses with your feet. When the male lead’s love interest is misunderstood and attacked by everyone, you’ll also have to protect him and keep him safe. After all, once the domineering CEO male lead calms down, his wife is once again the best in the world. If you let his wife get hurt during that period, you’re done for.]
As expected of a domineering CEO. When other people dated, it was two people loving each other sweetly. When he dated, it was earth-shaking—and it even required a third person!
Shen Chi wanted to grab the other party by the shoulders and tell him that love between three people was a twisted kind of love. It would not end well!
However, that was not even the most ridiculous part.
The system continued, [Of course, that’s only when he’s dating. The domineering CEO has mysophobia. Before the male lead’s love interest appears, you have to handle his daily routine. For example, his daily food and drink. When the CEO eats, you pick up food for him. When the CEO goes on a business trip, you make his bed. You serve him before and after…]
By the time Shen Chi finished listening, he had not even started the job yet, but he was already exhausted. However, he soon noticed one key point.
“What about after the male lead’s love interest appears?”
The system said, [After they successfully get together, you only need to do one thing.]
Shen Chi casually picked up the cup on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and asked, “What thing?”
The system said, [Deliver the little kiddo’s hiccup bag.]
After hearing that, Shen Chi, who happened to be drinking water, sprayed it out on the spot.
Expressionless, he wiped the water stains off the table and condemned it. “Next time you speak, can you choose a time when I’m not eating or drinking?”
The system giggled, shameless to the extreme. [I’m training you in advance. Otherwise, when the time comes and your little face turns red, our secretary character setting will collapse.]
Shen Chi sneered. “Who is ‘our’ with you? I’m human. What are you?”
System: …
It really should not have bothered saving him a few days ago. It should have waited until he was being this-and-that by that wild Alpha by the roadside before making its appearance!
—
Before Shen Chi even started work, as a newly graduated corporate slave, he spent a huge sum of money on a suit just so he could smoothly enter the male lead’s company.
The original owner’s family of origin was terrible. To sum it up in one sentence: a sick mother, a gambling father, a younger brother still in school, and a broken him. So when Shen Chi first arrived in this world, looking at the little balance left in his account, he could only choose to live in this awful urban village.
He knew urban villages were full of all kinds of people, good and bad, but he was an adult man who stood one meter eighty. What was there to be afraid of?
Facts proved that he really was afraid.
He was afraid of running into those Alphas who had gone mad and berserk again, so he attached great importance to this interview. However, he had not expected that in this ABO world with such an obvious discrimination chain, he, a Beta, could actually gain an advantage because of his gender.
The domineering CEO—that was, Lu Chenzhou, a top-tier Alpha—did not like personal secretaries who were the same as him. Alpha and Alpha repelled each other. Shen Chi could understand that. But he actually discriminated against soft, cute little Omegas too!
When the HR manager’s sharp eyes swept over the applicants, they accurately picked out several Omegas pretending to be Betas.
Shen Chi was shocked.
The system explained, [The male lead, Lu Chenzhou, dislikes delicate little Omegas. Being his secretary involves very heavy work intensity. Little Omegas are like flowers in a greenhouse and can’t withstand that kind of torture. As for Alphas, that’s even more impossible. They’re easily affected by pheromones and can’t make correct judgments. Lu Chenzhou discriminates against all of them.]
Sitting in the corner, Shen Chi could not help complaining inwardly, “Isn’t he an Alpha himself?”
The system said, [Top-tier Alphas are different. But he’s still quite fair in his discrimination. He hates Alphas and doesn’t like Omegas either, because they all have pheromones. Only odorless Betas can barely make this picky male lead take a look.]
Shen Chi remembered his aloof character setting at all times. Occasionally, when someone tried to strike up a conversation, he also responded coldly.
He was good-looking. Even sitting in a corner, he still attracted quite a lot of attention.
His thick black hair was styled very neatly. Below it was a beautiful face that blurred the line between male and female. It was not the tough, handsome kind with sharp edges, nor was it a feminine sort of beauty. Instead, it carried a very clean, translucent, aloof feeling. Especially those amber eyes of his—even the finest gemstones could not compare to their beauty.
Among so many applicants, HR noticed him at first glance.
At first, they even felt that he was too good-looking, so good-looking that he was eye-catching. If someone like this became President Lu’s secretary, he might attract unnecessary trouble. HR was just about to find an excuse to politely reject this beautiful young man when, in the next second, they saw that their President Lu had appeared beside them at some unknown time.
The people from HR were startled and hurriedly stood up to greet him. “President Lu.”
Inside the office, through the glass wall, Lu Chenzhou accurately spotted the thing stuck to the back of Shen Chi’s neck. He narrowed his eyes. His sharp gaze was like that of a terrifying beast in the forest.
Just one look.
Shen Chi somewhat understood what the pressure of a top Alpha meant. He slowly raised his head and, through the glass wall, looked at his future boss.
The man wore a black suit. Clearly, they were both wearing black suits, yet he gave off a completely different and frightening aura.
There was not the slightest hint of a smile on his handsome face. At one meter ninety, his presence was oppressive. Just standing there, he carried the pressure of an alpha wolf, making people instinctively want to submit.
Shen Chi could not help hissing softly. This guy was filled from head to toe with the word dangerous.
“System, if I work as his secretary and make some kind of mistake, I won’t be stuffed into a sack and sunk into the sea, right?”
The system also could not help swallowing its nonexistent saliva. [No. Although this world is different from your previous one, it’s still a society ruled by law. Killing people is illegal. But…]
Shen Chi’s ears twitched slightly.
The system said, [We should still try our best not to provoke him. Although it’s a society ruled by law, he’s a top Alpha.]
Shen Chi: …
That was basically the same as saying nothing.
But now the arrow was already on the bowstring. It was too late to drop everything and quit.
The system had told him that the original owner was no longer in this world. Like him, the original owner had also been chosen as a host. If Shen Chi wanted to leave now, there was only one path: death.
Because of that, Shen Chi could only brace himself and meet the male lead’s eyes behind the glass wall. After a long while, he barely pulled out a smile and politely nodded at him.
In the end, the other party simply turned around without even looking at him properly.
Shen Chi: …
Damn, what kind of person was this!
Lu Chenzhou turned back to speak with the HR staff. His voice was low and deep, carrying a coldness that kept people at a distance. “Didn’t I say that Omegas are not allowed to apply? Why are there still Omegas among the applicants?”
HR said, “President Lu, we used the most advanced detector to test them. He is not an Omega. Oh, are you referring to the patch on the back of his neck? That Mr. Shen said he twisted his neck while sleeping, so he put on a medicinal plaster.”
Lu Chenzhou was extremely demanding. His current secretary was a female Beta, but she was pregnant and was about to go on maternity leave. Because of this, HR had no choice but to recruit again.
However, Lu Chenzhou’s aura was far too powerful. Out of more than a hundred interviewees, nearly half could not even speak properly in front of him. As for the other half, although they could speak clearly, they still made mistakes again and again.
Just when it seemed that all the applicants this time would fail again, the final candidate, Shen Chi, entered the room.
