Chapter 30: Hand in Hand, the Three of Us Go Home!
Shen Chi ate the meal to his heart’s content. He secretly touched his round, full belly, feeling extremely satisfied. He just had not expected to run into a little trouble when it was time to go back.
Holding the sunflowers, Ye Suxi blinked his innocent big eyes. “Mr. Shen, you didn’t even get to enjoy this meal properly. Let me send you home.”
Shen Chi was a Beta. How could he let an Omega send him home? But before he could refuse, Lu Chenzhou suddenly spoke.
“Secretary Shen, you send me.”
Shen Chi’s body shook, and even his eyes became clear.
Here it came, here it came. The legendary battlefield.
He, a pitiful little secretary, was about to become one part of their triangle.
Shen Chi’s imagination ran wild. He looked at Ye Suxi, then at Lu Chenzhou. Suddenly, a brilliant idea appeared in his mind.
“System! Tell me, what is the purpose of an NPC!”
The system shouted loudly, [To create opportunities for the male lead gong and shou!]
One person and one system suddenly became fired up.
Shen Chi blinked with shining eyes. “How about this? Let’s all go home together.”
Lu Chenzhou: ?
Ye Suxi: ??
“Mr. Ye is an Omega. How could I let an Omega send me home? But if I ignore Mr. Ye and let you go home alone, I won’t feel at ease either.” At this point, Shen Chi turned his head toward Lu Chenzhou and said obediently, “As President Lu’s secretary, abandoning President Lu would violate professional ethics.”
“So…” he said solemnly, “the three of us will go together. President Lu, Mr. Ye, do you mind?”
Ye Suxi had fought his way up from the bottom. What dark scenes had he not seen before? Lu Chenzhou had fought his way through the upper class. What schemes and cunning tricks had he not seen before? But now, both of them fell silent.
In the end, Lu Chenzhou was the first to react.
Ye Suxi had no car. Shen Chi had no car either. The only one with a car was him.
Lu Chenzhou pulled the corner of his lips, his smile not quite a smile. “Secretary Shen means to use my car to send him?”
Shen Chi nodded confidently, not feeling embarrassed at all.
This was your future wife. What he was doing was assisting you!
Lu Chenzhou pressed his tongue against his teeth and smiled. “Fine. Since Secretary Shen has spoken, I’m still willing to give you this much face. I just don’t know whether Mr. Ye is willing.”
Seeing his sarcastic tone, Ye Suxi almost sneered aloud.
Who cared about riding in his car?
The subway he rode every day was many times more expensive than Lu Chenzhou’s so-called luxury car!
But Shen Chi was looking at him eagerly like a little dog. Ye Suxi endured and endured, and in the end, he still could not bear to refuse him.
He was afraid that if he refused, he would see disappointment on Shen Chi’s face.
“Since President Lu doesn’t mind, what would I mind?”
In both of their imaginations, Ye Suxi thought he would sit in the middle of the back seat. He wanted to separate Shen Chi from Lu Chenzhou, that dark old fox.
Lu Chenzhou thought he would throw Ye Suxi into the passenger seat and sit in the back with Secretary Shen.
Thus, when Shen Chi and the driver opened the rear doors at the same time, the two of them sat inside in perfect unison.
Seeing this scene, Shen Chi felt extremely gratified.
“As expected of the destined pair. System, look. Even their movements are so synchronized.”
The system sighed along with him. [This mission is so simple. Human, the two of us truly are chosen NPCs.]
Shen Chi and the driver exchanged a tacit glance, then shut the doors together.
The driver entered the driver’s seat, and Shen Chi sat in the passenger seat.
This scene nearly made both Lu Chenzhou and Ye Suxi break down.
“Mr. Shen!”
“Secretary Shen!”
Shen Chi fastened his seat belt while responding, “What’s wrong?”
A trace of irritation surfaced in Lu Chenzhou’s eyes. Although Ye Suxi had a pheromone-blocking patch stuck to the back of his neck, from such a close distance, and given that Lu Chenzhou was an S-rank Alpha, he could still inevitably smell a trace of strawberry pheromones.
It was strange. According to Ji Yanzhi, an 88% compatibility rate, even if it did not result in love at first sight, should at least produce goodwill. Yet now, Lu Chenzhou sat there with a gloomy face, only wanting to throw the person out and have the car thoroughly cleaned!
But not long ago, this pheromone had clearly been like the existence of white moonlight, making his heart tremble.
Thinking of that trace of fruity pheromones, Lu Chenzhou’s canine teeth itched.
Too strange.
The person was sitting right beside him, and his nose was filled with the faint scent of strawberry fruit, yet he felt no interest at all. Instead, he missed the past. Even because of that wisp of pheromone in his memory, hostility surged between his brows.
This was not right…
Ye Suxi did not know about his problem. His face was cold.
The car was filled everywhere with Alpha pheromones. It smelled so awful he wanted to vomit!
“President Lu, do you mind if I open the window?”
Lu Chenzhou did not answer. Instead, he opened the window on his side before Ye Suxi could.
Seeing this, Ye Suxi immediately pressed the window button too.
Although the two of them were sitting in the back seat, they were far apart. Occasionally, their pheromones collided. There was not the slightest hint of ambiguity, only a full-on fight to the death.
Shen Chi, a Beta, had no idea the two in the back were about to start fighting. He sat quietly in the passenger seat while chatting with the system.
“When do they truly start interacting?”
The system said, [Soon. It should be around this period. Lu Chenzhou has severe insomnia. He will accidentally click into Ye Suxi’s livestream room and successfully fall asleep to his voice.]
Shen Chi understood.
In domineering CEO novels, things like mysophobia, stomach problems, and insomnia would all be solved with the appearance of the other protagonist, comparable to a divine doctor.
As a poor bastard, Shen Chi soon noticed something else.
“System, is livestreaming very profitable?”
The system said, [Ye Suxi hasn’t gone viral yet, but according to the plot, before long, he’ll become a popular streamer in the gaming section. As for popular streamers, you know.]
How could Shen Chi not know? He knew too well, which was why his eyes turned red with envy.
Money.
Who did not love money?
As Lu Chenzhou’s secretary, his income was considerable. In the future, if he became chief secretary, his annual salary could reach a million. But thinking of the mess behind him, even one million would not be enough to fill it.
First, the original owner’s mother’s health was a bottomless pit.
Second, that gambling-addict father. He had to find a way to shake him off.
Finally, housing prices in City A were sky-high.
Shen Chi did not like renting. He wanted to own a home that belonged to him. Inside, he could decorate it however he wanted, arrange it however he wanted, and no one could drive him out.
“Say…” Shen Chi rubbed his chin. “If I also start livestreaming, do you think that would work?”
If the male lead shou could hold down several jobs, how could he lie flat?
Comfort was reserved for the dead!
The system gave a thoughtful sound. [Then what talent do you have?]
[Singing?]
Shen Chi said, “Tone-deaf.”
The system asked, [Gaming?]
Shen Chi said, “Bad at games.”
The system asked, [Dancing?]
Shen Chi said, “My waist has backing.”
The system: ?
Shen Chi took a deep breath. “My waist is tougher than my life.”
The system could not help cursing. […Fuck. Then what are you going to livestream? Performing how to be useless?”
Shen Chi’s eyes lit up. “Right! I can still wipe things!”
The system: ?
Driven by life’s hardships, Secretary Shen sold his skills for money.
