Chapter 45: Will Lu Chenzhou Snap My Neck?
When Shen Chi returned home with the bite guard, he was still in a pretty good mood. Although an accident had happened the day before, it could now be considered a blessing in disguise.
As for the danger of facing Lu Chenzhou during his susceptible period, Shen Chi expressed: the bigger the storm, the more money there was!
“System, with the bite guard, Lu Chenzhou won’t be able to bite people randomly anymore, right?”
The system said, [It’s a special bite guard from the lab, designed specifically for S-rank Alphas. It also has three layers of passwords. As long as you don’t tell him the password, he definitely won’t be able to bite.]
After hearing this, Shen Chi was completely relieved.
Although he lacked money, safety was also very important.
“The biggest problem now is money. Come on, let’s start researching side jobs!”
The system thought of the “wiping” idea it had casually mentioned last time. It had not expected Shen Chi to actually take it seriously.
It watched, dumbfounded, as Shen Chi changed back and forth between the three outfits in his shabby rental room. The corner of its mouth twitched, and it said with a headache, [How about we buy some other clothes?]
Shen Chi said, “It’s fine. Today is the first day. Let’s test it out first.”
Without two hundred followers, livestreaming was not allowed.
Shen Chi could only first post videos to build an audience. But after all, this was his first time doing it, so he felt embarrassed. Thus, he thought of a very unique idea—he turned off the lights!
In the pitch-black night, occasional headlights flashed outside the window. But with his back to the window, his face could not be seen at all. Just like that, in the dark, he copied a dance video and danced for a short section.
“System, how was it? How was it?”
Under his excited voice, the system’s silence was deafening.
[What are you asking me to look at?]
Shen Chi said, “It’s my first time filming, so of course I’m embarrassed. It’s like how many people are too embarrassed to set up stalls for the first time, so they deliberately choose a place with no one around. This is my first time filming, so I’ll dance in the dark. Once my skin gets thicker, I’ll slowly increase the brightness.”
The system: …
A divine being!
If he could become popular like this, then it would quit this crappy mission too and wash its hands clean to wipe things with him!
Shen Chi danced a few more times. Feeling that his waist was not so stiff anymore, he finally registered an account and clicked send.
The system had nothing left to say. There was an old saying: before the late emperor had completed half of his great enterprise, he passed away midway. But Shen Chi was impressive. He started with Waterloo from the very beginning.
[Do you think anyone will like it?]
Shen Chi had a good mindset. “Take it slowly. Who becomes famous overnight? It’s normal if no one likes it. Oh right, which livestream room is Ye Suxi in? I’ll go take a look.”
…
Secretary Shen and President Lu had both taken a day off and had not come to work. The people in the secretary office were very composed. Not a single person curiously asked around. But when Secretary Shen stepped into the office, everyone raised their heads in unison.
“Morning, everyone.”
As expected of the elite group in the secretary office. The moment they raised their heads, they also smiled in unison and greeted him.
“Morning, Secretary Shen.”
Their smiles were gentle and did not make anyone feel uncomfortable at all.
Shen Chi quickly threw himself into work. Secretary Xu’s belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she would soon go on maternity leave. Shen Chi’s workload also grew heavier and heavier. Almost all the documents from the departments below were sent to his side.
Several times, he almost suspected he was being targeted.
“Manager Cai, I have too many documents on my side. You can first place your documents with the special assistant. Special Assistant Zhou will also handle them.”
When Manager Cai heard this, it was as if the sky had collapsed.
“No, this document can only be delivered by you!”
Shen Chi slowly raised his face and furrowed his pretty brows. “Manager Cai, you’re not setting a trap for me, are you?”
Manager Cai wore a mournful expression on his fairly handsome face. “My quarterly report is at the bottom of the whole department. I don’t dare deliver it. President Lu will definitely scold me.”
The corner of Shen Chi’s mouth twitched. “You don’t dare, so I dare?”
Among the upper management circle of the entire Lu Group, who did not know that the newly arrived Secretary Shen was a special existence? Documents handed in through him—rumor had it President Lu was not as venomous-tongued as before.
Manager Cai was cowardly, so he could only beg Shen Chi. “Secretary Shen, help me deliver it, and I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Shen Chi put down the work in his hands. “Manager Cai, do you think I’m lacking that one meal?”
Manager Cai was about to cry. He secretly moved closer, lowered his voice, and whispered, “How could Secretary Shen lack that? I’m the one who lacks it. How about this? I’ll give you a chain supermarket shopping card with a value of one thousand yuan.”
Shen Chi raised a brow.
He was only helping deliver a document. It was not a big deal. At most, Lu Chenzhou would stab him with a few poisonous words. But earning one thousand yuan for a few venomous comments—this deal was not bad.
But he had not expected that before he could agree, Lu Chenzhou would catch them in the act.
One had to know that normally, Lu Chenzhou rarely came to the secretary office.
“Manager Cai, what are you doing to my secretary?”
The icy voice rang out, startling Manager Cai. He was already guilty to begin with. Hearing this, his knees inexplicably went weak, and he almost fell onto Shen Chi.
Lu Chenzhou’s expression changed. He grabbed Shen Chi’s office chair and dragged it to his side.
The hand gripping the office chair bulged with veins. Lu Chenzhou’s gaze was gloomy, and beneath his tense voice, his tone grew somewhat fierce. “Secretary Shen, does anyone get to come close to you?” After saying that, he swept his gaze toward Manager Cai, who had fallen to the ground.
A person with connections. Somewhat good-looking, and with a sweet mouth. He had coaxed several shareholders into beaming with joy.
He had never made any major mistakes. At most, his performance ranked at the bottom.
Lu Chenzhou was not an unreasonable person. Giving some face to a few shareholders was acceptable. But what Manager Cai absolutely should not have done was almost stick his face onto Shen Chi!
After one night, the pheromone scent that had soaked into Shen Chi yesterday had already faded until it could barely be smelled.
Lu Chenzhou gripped the office chair so hard his knuckles whitened, quietly circling the person at his side.
For Shen Chi, this was simply an undeserved disaster. How could this be blamed on him?
He had been sitting properly in the office when calamity fell from the sky!
“Sorry, President Lu.” Shen Chi was so angry he gritted his teeth. Thinking of his damned character setting, he could only swallow down all his dissatisfaction and say calmly, “I’ll know how to handle it next time.”
Originally, the matter should have ended there. Shen Chi had apologized too. But when those words fell into Lu Chenzhou’s ears, they somehow sounded weightless.
He had no sense of security. Shen Chi was like a beautiful little bird. Everyone was attracted to him, but he did not belong to anyone.
No…
Lu Chenzhou took a deep breath and suppressed the jealousy twisted to the extreme inside him. He said coldly, “Secretary Shen, you are someone with a partner. I don’t want any messy rumors spreading in the company.”
Shen Chi was shocked.
Sitting in his office chair, if he wanted to look at Lu Chenzhou, he could only raise his head high. “Ah?”
Lu Chenzhou’s gaze fell on that snow-white, slender neck. Suddenly, he thought of how it felt to bite there. His mouth began to feel dry. Then he felt that staring at Secretary Shen like a pervert was not good. It would scare him away.
Being stared at by him, Shen Chi grew a little timid.
He secretly asked the system, “When exactly will he start an online romance with Ye Suxi?”
The system said, [It should be soon.]
Shen Chi breathed a sigh of relief. “If they don’t start dating online soon, I feel like he’s going to kill someone. Just now, was he thinking about how to twist my neck?”
