I’ll Butcher Pigs to Support You! 111

Chapter 111: Modern Extra [2]

As for her boss not letting her drink, Song Yugui was a little moved. She had originally thought she was fierce, but now she felt that she was cold on the outside and warm on the inside, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her.

Sensing the gaze beside her, Shen Xizhi glanced at her faintly, then continued to talk business with Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu.

She didn’t say it, but her heart was a little happy because she had looked over.

She seems to like being looked at by her, to have her eyes only on her.

This meal was eaten a little late. By the time it was over, it was already ten o’clock.

Shen Xizhi had drunk some wine and was a little unsteady on her feet. Out of a working person’s sycophancy, Song Yugui reached out to help her, but was also afraid that she didn’t like people getting too close, so she asked, “Mr. Shen, shall I help you back?”

Hearing Shen Xizhi reply with a soft “Mmm,”

She held her arm with one hand and her boss’s slender, supple waist with the other, leading her out and refusing the help of the two old bosses.

It wasn’t until she had helped her into the car that Song Yugui knew why Mr. Shen hadn’t let her drink.

She glanced at her boss, who was resting with her eyes closed, then at the empty driver’s seat. “Did you have the driver go back?”

Mr. Shen nodded slightly, not even lifting her eyelids. “Mmm, you can drive from now on.”

So early to be a driver.

“Oh.”

She obediently sat in the driver’s seat and drove.

Shen Xizhi rested for a while longer, then opened her eyes to look at her.

The woman’s eyes were like a quiet little elk’s, large and moist.

She also didn’t speak, just kept looking, and the familiar feeling of being watched returned.

It wasn’t that Song Yugui was narcissistic, but she was really starting to suspect that Mr. Shen was secretly watching her in the office.

But she didn’t understand. What was Mr. Shen looking at her for?

Her mind was a mess. After a long while, she heard Mr. Shen’s voice, with a hint of tipsiness, her usual coldness gone by a few points. “Are you driving to your house?”

The scenery on the way was very unfamiliar. Even though Shen Xizhi had only just come to Huai City, she didn’t think this was the way to her own home.

Song Yugui looked down at the navigation and was bewildered. Only then did she react that she didn’t know where Mr. Shen lived and had subconsciously driven toward her own home.

The words she said also carried a hint of guilt. “I’m sorry, Mr. Shen. I’m just used to it. By the way, where do you live?”

Hah, used to it? You want to take me home just after we’ve met? Too frivolous. Minus points.

She had no intention of going to Song Yugui’s house on their second day of meeting. It was too forward.

So she lowered her eyes and faintly gave her own address.

Song Yugui changed the navigation.

The Maybach stopped outside a large villa. She looked at the scene in front of her, her mouth agape with surprise.

As expected of someone from the head office. So rich. It must be at least three hundred square meters, right?

Song Yugui locked the car, then went to the back to open the door and help Shen Xizhi down, her attitude even more respectful than before. “Your car keys.”

It was so late. She was planning to take a taxi back herself in a little while.

Who knew that Mr. Shen didn’t take the car keys but instead said, “You can drive the car back. Come and pick me up tomorrow at eight.”

Song Yugui: !!!

What!

I only just get up at eight!

Case closed! She’s just trying to make things difficult for me so that I’ll resign on my own! I’m not resigning! If you have the guts, then fire me!

Song Yugui pressed her lips together, puffed out her cheeks, and took the keys, very angry in her heart, but she still replied with a meek “okay.”

Angry, but it was hard to find a job now. If she could keep it, she didn’t want to be fired.

Shen Xizhi didn’t even look back as she walked into her large villa. Song Yugui got back into the Maybach and drove back to her own home. She had left so decisively, so she didn’t notice that Shen Xizhi had turned back later.

Her tired heart from a long day finally relaxed a lot after she got home.

After a hot bath and lying down on the bed, she began to read the novel she hadn’t finished yesterday.

She usually only read romance, so it was her first time reading GL. It turned out to be so good.

Before she knew it, it was already three in the morning.

Finding that she had stayed up so late again, Song Yugui’s heart was broken!

She still had to pick up her boss at eight tomorrow. Then she would have to get up at least at seven-thirty.

Her tired soul was almost about to shatter at this moment.

Tomorrow, I will definitely adjust my schedule and go to bed early and get up early.

She thought as she put down her phone.

The next day, the alarm clock rang early…

Song Yugui changed into a pink suit with a white camisole underneath and dragged her tired body to pick up her boss for work.

She hadn’t even had breakfast. In the past, she would at least buy a bun to hold in her mouth and eat it while waiting for the traffic light. But now she was afraid of getting the smell of food on Mr. Shen’s high-end, classy Maybach, so she didn’t dare to eat.

After all, this car always had a faint smell of perfume, which felt completely incompatible with meat buns.

Shen Xizhi had been waiting in the living room ever since she had gotten up, until someone knocked on the door.

The housekeeper, who had just arrived yesterday, went to open the door. Song Yugui was stunned for a moment when she saw a stranger, then she quickly reacted and said with a smile, “Hello, I’m here to pick up Mr. Shen for work.”

“Miss has already gotten up. Please wait a moment.”

The housekeeper was a woman, and she also smiled gently, walking in. In a short while, Shen Xizhi came out.

She was wearing a white suit, with a single button fastened in the middle, cinching her slender waist. As yesterday, a patch of her collarbone was exposed, and her pants draped very well, looking smooth and high-end. Even when she walked, she carried a gust of fragrant wind.

Song Yugui safely drove the CEO to the company, and the two of them went in one after the other.

Then she watched the CEO enter the office.

It wasn’t until she couldn’t see her anymore that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Her body didn’t dare to get close to the CEO, but her heart really wanted to.

She always wanted to be close to the CEO.

Song Yugui covered her forehead and thought with a blank expression, Am I that lecherous? It’s simply outrageous!

The moment she sat down, Li Linxi next to her poked her with her elbow. “Hey, how come you came in with the CEO? How was your meeting with the client last night? Did the CEO make things difficult for you?”

“The CEO asked me to drive her to work. No, it went very smoothly yesterday. Hey, do you have anything to eat? I didn’t have breakfast. I’m about to starve to death.”

“Oh, I have some. Wait a minute.”

Li Linxi took out a few small French breads from her bag.

Song Yugui opened her computer and ate them slowly, occasionally turning her head to discuss the plot of the novel with the other.

Shen Xizhi couldn’t hear what they were talking about from inside the office, only seeing two heads close together.

They frequently made intimate gestures.

She’s so clueless about boundaries. If I were really with her, wouldn’t I be annoyed by this every day? Minus points, minus points, minus points!

That score was almost about to be a negative number.

She had been fine when she had come, but now, when Song Yugui went in to deliver coffee, she was met with her boss’s cold face again. This time, she didn’t even say a single word to her, just looked at her with a cold gaze.

Song Yugui was so scared she said in a small voice, “CEO, your coffee.”

Shen Xizhi lowered her eyes and ignored her, just like when she was angry in her dream.

But the other didn’t coax her and hold her gently like in her dream. Instead, she glanced at her and tiptoed out.

It wasn’t until the sound of the door closing that Shen Xizhi’s expression turned even colder, and she gave her another ten minus points.

Song Yugui came out of the office with a heart like dead ashes. She closed her eyes. “Linxi, I think I’m going to have to break our agreement.”

Li Linxi: “Ah?”

She blabbered on about her own experience and, combined with her boss’s attitude just now, came to a conclusion. “I’m about to pack my things and leave. We can meet again if we’re fated in the future.”

Li Linxi was shocked. “So serious? Then why doesn’t Mr. Shen like you? I don’t think you’ve done anything. Could it be that she found out we were badmouthing the company?”

Song Yugui’s small face carried a weary, weathered expression as she shook her head. “I don’t know.”

She also didn’t know why.

“Could it be that your birth date and zodiac sign clash with Mr. Shen’s, so she doesn’t like you?”

Song Yugui thought about it seriously and nodded. “That’s possible. Then am I definitely going to leave?”

After all, her birth date and the like were not something she could decide.

Seeing her even more dejected, the other’s mood was also not high. “I was just guessing. It’s not necessarily right. If you leave me alone, how am I supposed to get through these working days?”

Her daily meal and slacking-off partner would be gone. She couldn’t get through a single day.

“Aiya.”

The two of them sighed at each other.

Another employee ran up from downstairs and handed Song Yugui a document. “This is for the CEO. I’ll have to trouble Assistant Song.”

These few days, the CEO’s documents had all been designated for Assistant Song to sort out. In order to reduce trouble, they no longer asked and just gave them directly to Song Yugui.

The moment Song Yugui came, she had to work. She nodded weakly, sorted the documents, and then sent them to the office.

The CEO’s office always had its own air conditioning. The moment one walked in, they would shiver from the cold.

“Mr. Shen, the documents you wanted.”

She respectfully handed over the documents. Shen Xizhi reached out her pale, jade-like hand to take them, but when she was about to leave, she called out to her.

“Wait.”

Song Yugui stopped in time and turned around blankly.

She was met with the other’s scolding, cold tone. She lifted her eyelids. “During working hours, don’t do unnecessary things.”

!!!

Her eyes widened, and as if her mind had been enlightened, she suddenly turned her head to look at the one-way glass.

It was aimed right at her own seat.

Alright, case closed. The boss had caught her slacking off frequently.

A strong sense of guilt came from the bottom of her heart.

She didn’t even dare look Mr. Shen in the eye. She quickly nodded twice and made a faint gesture of cupping her fists. “I… I understand.”

Then she ran away as if she were fleeing for her life. Li Linxi was also dealing with her work. Seeing her come out, she asked casually, “Why were you in there for so long? Did Mr. Shen make things difficult for you?”

Her voice was low, and only the two of them could hear.

Shen Xizhi watched her leave and then watched as Assistant Li spoke to her, thinking, Do I have to specially hire a lip-reader to come over every day to hear what they’re saying?

Song Yugui shook her head. “No. Let’s work hard. Mr. Shen found out we were slacking off.”

Li Linxi: !

Just this one sentence was enough to make her greatly shocked. For the next half of the day, she worked extremely hard.

Song Yugui was also the same, not slackening in the slightest, until lunchtime, when the colleagues around her all went out for lunch one after another.

Only then did they stand up. “Are you ordering takeout for lunch or eating at the cafeteria?”

“The cafeteria. You can go over first. I’ll tidy up a little more and then come.”

“Mmm.”

Li Linxi left. Song Yugui received a call on her desk.

She had thought it was a client but it turned out to be the CEO.

Wait, it’s just a few steps. Do you have to call?

She grumbled in her heart, but her face was extremely respectful. “Mr. Shen, what can I do for you?”

“The nanny has sent over lunch. It’s downstairs. You can go and get it for me.”

“Alright. Please wait a moment.”

Song Yugui hung up the phone, the corners of her mouth twitching. She still put on her high heels and went.

As expected of Mr. Shen’s meal, even the food box looked very classy.

She gently knocked on the office door.

“Come in.”

Then she poked her head out from the door and looked. “Mr. Shen, your meal has arrived.”

Shen Xizhi nodded slightly. “Mmm, you can sit for a while. I’ll be done soon.”

“Oh.”

Song Yugui subconsciously obeyed.

It wasn’t until her bottom touched the sofa that she remembered, I’m just delivering a meal for Mr. Shen. Why am I sitting for a while? Don’t I have to eat lunch!

Just as she was dissatisfied, Shen Xizhi had finished her work over there. The crisp sound of high heels sounded again. She walked over slowly and sat down beside Song Yugui very naturally.

This action seemed to have been done countless times.

She had always disliked too close a social distance, but this time she didn’t seem to have any discomfort.

But it was not the same for Song Yugui. She nervously pinched her fingers.

We’re not talking business. This is Mr. Shen’s own office. It’s so quiet all around, and there are only the two of us here. Is it a little not good?

Just as she was about to say something to slip away, she saw Mr. Shen open the food box and take out two bowls of rice and two pairs of chopsticks from inside.

Wait, two pairs of chopsticks?!

Two bowls of rice could be attributed to Mr. Shen having a good appetite, but it couldn’t be that she had to change chopsticks after eating one bowl of rice, could it?

“Help me pick out the ginger.”

A cool and clear voice sounded. She handed one of the pairs of chopsticks to Song Yugui and made a request without any courtesy.

Song Yugui was stunned for a moment, took the chopsticks, and replied with an honest “okay,” then began to pick out the ginger from the food.

There was a dish of steamed bass with a lot of ginger. The others were fine.

It was just…

“Mr. Shen, don’t you not eat green peppers? Why is there stuffed green peppers with meat?”

Shen Xizhi glanced at it, her expression natural. “Mmm, you can have it.”

Song Yugui’s eyes widened, as if she couldn’t believe it. She hadn’t expected her to have actually counted her in.

Aren’t you trying to bully me into resigning on my own?

“Why aren’t you moving? What are you thinking? You don’t want to have lunch with me?”

The beautiful boss’s brow furrowed slightly. Thinking that she didn’t want to have lunch with her, she was almost immediately unhappy.

Why? She’s willing to accompany that me to eat, and she didn’t say her personality was very gentle and good at taking care of people? Minus points!

After Song Yugui had come to her senses, she saw that her beautiful eyes were a little displeased and quickly shook her head. “No, no, no! I didn’t mean that! I just didn’t expect Mr. Shen to have someone make my meal.”

That’s right. She was just a little assistant. How could they have even made her meal?

Her expression was puzzled, her attitude distant, which inexplicably made one feel very uncomfortable.

Shen Xizhi lowered her eyes, suppressing the waves of bitterness that were rolling up, and her voice became even colder. “The nanny at home made too much food, so I had them bring an extra bowl of rice. If you don’t want to eat it, you can leave now.”

If you’re unwilling, you can leave my world. Even if I dream of you every night, I won’t ask you to stay.

Shen Xizhi had her own stubbornness and pride. She would never bow her head!

Song Yugui’s eyebrows picked up. For a moment, she thought, The nanny made too much food. Can’t the nanny eat it?

But this thought only flashed through her mind. She stared at the four colorful and fragrant dishes on the table and said without hesitation, “I’ll eat!”

“If you’re going to eat, then don’t talk so much.”

“Oh.”

Song Yugui’s snowy white little face was full of innocence. Seeing that Mr. Shen didn’t want to talk to her now, she also quietly shut her mouth and then picked up a stuffed green pepper with meat, eating half of it in one bite, and then mixing in some rice that had been soaked in soup. Her cheeks were puffed out.

Shen Xizhi held her bowl with one hand, the veins on her snowy white wrist clearly visible, but it was so thin it felt as if one hand could hold both her wrists.

She only took a little bit of fish with each bite, eating in small mouthfuls. After Song Yugui had started to eat heartily, she secretly gave her minus points in her heart again.

You’re not going to coax me? She’s clearly so good at coaxing people in my dreams. But now, she hasn’t coaxed me once. Can’t she see that I’m angry? Impossible! In my dreams, she can see even if I’m a little unhappy!

Shen Xizhi didn’t care about the fact that Song Yugui had no memory. She just felt angry, with a lot of countless grievances mixed in.

She should have coaxed me. Why is she so distant from me? Shouldn’t she have liked me a lot the moment she saw me? Just like me…

Shen Xizhi had to admit that although she had been finding fault with Song Yugui these past few days, the first day she had seen her, she had felt an uncontrollable joy, her heart beating faster.

If it weren’t for this, and she had given her so many minus points, she would have long since ignored her.

Song Yugui also really liked the new Mr. Shen. She felt that Mr. Shen was both beautiful and fragrant, and even her cold demeanor was exceptionally likable.

But she didn’t dare to show it. Seeing Mr. Shen so cold, what if I showed that I liked her a lot and worshipped her, and she thought I was disgusting or misunderstood that I had some improper thoughts about her and kicked me out!

That wouldn’t do.

From Song Yugui’s many years of reading novels and understanding domineering presidents, she felt that Mr. Shen would do so.

After honestly finishing a bowl of rice, she didn’t touch the other dishes much, leaving them for her beautiful boss to eat. Only the stuffed green peppers that her boss didn’t eat were eaten clean by her. After a bowl of rice, she was a little full, but she didn’t want to show an ungraceful posture in front of her beautiful boss. She still silently sat up straight, her back tense. But she was also afraid that she wouldn’t be able to hold it for long and said in a small voice, “CEO, I’ll go out to work first. You can just leave it here after you’re done. I’ll come and wash.”

Shen Xizhi’s dish-picking movements paused. She lowered her head and didn’t say anything, seeming to have agreed.

Song Yugui then put down her bowl and carefully walked out.

She didn’t know that after she had left, someone’s hand holding the chopsticks had tightened, her knuckles turning white. Shen Xizhi couldn’t believe that the person who was so gentle to her in her dreams would now not even be willing to sit with her for a little while.

The lunch break was two hours. It hadn’t even been an hour yet, and she was already in a hurry to go out!

When Song Yugui went out, Li Linxi happened to have just returned from her meal. Seeing her with a look of dissatisfaction, “Didn’t you say you were eating at the cafeteria for lunch? Why didn’t you come? Did you order takeout?”

“No. How could I order takeout behind your back? Mr. Shen’s nanny made too much food, so she treated me to a meal.”

Li Linxi: !!!

“You said this morning that Mr. Shen didn’t like you and might fire you!”

Linxi’s expression was one of surprise. In that instant, she felt that her good friend was about to get on Mr. Shen’s good side, and she… one person’s success brings glory to all his associates!

Song Yugui opened her computer and shook her head. “I don’t know either. I still feel like Mr. Shen doesn’t like me very much.”

But she also seemed to be a little concerned about her.

For example, last night, she hadn’t let her drink, and today she had treated her to a meal.

There were also many people in the company. Why was it just me?

“Forget it. Whatever. It’s fine.”

The worst outcome was just resigning. But she wasn’t under much financial pressure now, so it didn’t matter if she resigned.

Turtle lay flat.

After she had been busy for a while outside, she estimated that Mr. Shen had finished her meal and got up to knock on the door.

“Come in.”

For some reason, she felt that Mr. Shen was even colder.

Just listening to that voice was enough to give her goosebumps.

Song Yugui opened the door, poked her head in, and saw that Mr. Shen had already started to work. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. “I’ve come to wash the dishes. You can just mind your own business. Don’t mind me.”

You…

This kind of honorific, coming from her mouth, seemed to be particularly unpleasant.

Shen Xizhi looked at her deeply and suddenly said, “There’s a social engagement tonight. You’ll accompany me.”

Song Ygugui: What! It’s me working overtime again! You should also look at the special assistant who’s so eager to go!

She was a little broken, her expression dazed.

Shen Xizhi could see her unwillingness, and her heart suddenly sank again.

“You don’t want to go?”

Who would want to work overtime?

Song Yugui thought in her heart, but her mouth quickly denied it. “No, I’d love to go.”

Lying.

Shen Xizhi’s heart was even more unbalanced. Her beautiful face was as cold as frost, and she ignored her.

She then went to collect the bowls and wash them on her own. After she had finished washing and had put them away, she consciously picked up the food box when she got off work and went to the basement with her boss.

The car keys were still in Song Yugui’s hand. She tried to return them to Shen Xizhi, but the other didn’t take them and instead told her to keep them.

She suspected that she wasn’t going to be fired but was going to be demoted to Mr. Shen’s personal driver.

Song Yugui was about to open the back door of the car and invite Mr. Shen to get in, but the other went around her and sat in the passenger seat, still in a state of not really minding her, much colder than when the two of them had had lunch.

Song Yugui didn’t understand. She clearly hates me. Why does she still have to take me to talk about a contract? It’s a good thing tomorrow is Saturday. I can properly sort out my thoughts at home. Regarding Mr. Shen’s attitude toward her, she was already a little confused.

The spacious car was so quiet it was suffocating. Song Yugui couldn’t stand it and took the opportunity of a red light to turn her head and ask casually, “Is Mr. Shen still drinking tonight?”

Shen Xizhi lowered her eyes. She hadn’t wanted to talk to her, but she was also afraid that this person wouldn’t be like in her dreams and would come up to her on her own.

Afraid that if she didn’t talk to her, she wouldn’t talk to her.

Her rosy lips were pressed together. She nodded. “Mmm, I will.”

“Oh, then should Mr. Shen have someone at home prepare some hangover soup in advance? Otherwise, she might have a headache when she wakes up tomorrow.”

Is this concern for me?

Shen Xizhi’s face was impassive, but her peripheral vision secretly glanced over.

“I don’t like the taste of hangover soup.”

For some reason, Song Yugui was particularly sensitive to her emotions. The moment she heard it, she heard her tone soften a little, as if there were a hint of softness.

Her tone also couldn’t help but be gentle. “Then Mr. Shen should still drink a little less. Drinking is very bad for your health.”

Shen Xizhi could have refused. Who was she? An assistant. On what grounds could she tell her what to do? But a strange sweetness filled her heart, and she still nodded in agreement. “Mmm.”

The conversation went too smoothly. Song Yugui looked at her beautiful boss with surprise, thinking that she would be cold and ignore her again, or tell her to mind her own business.

It turned out that Mr. Shen was still very easy to talk to.

.

As yesterday, someone was waiting outside early to invite them in.

Song Yugui had asked in the afternoon if she needed to prepare anything and had been told to just bring her mouth.

So the moment she sat down, she looked at the menu in the waiter’s hand.

As if sensing something, Shen Xizhi turned her head to look at her, took the menu from the waiter’s hand, and handed it to her. “You can order.”

Song Yugui: !

Good boss! I’m ashamed of my words for gossiping about her.

Shen Xizhi tried her best to be reserved. She couldn’t possibly chase after someone, so she hoped that this matter would be done by Song Yugui.

But she also couldn’t help but be good to her.

It was as if being good to her was already some kind of instinct.

Do I like her that much?

The boss opposite her was enthusiastically greeting her. She would occasionally reply with a faint “Mmm,” but her attention was always on Song Yugui.

The boss also saw it and just thought that Shen Xizhi was hungry, calling out for them to chat while they ate.

So she went closer and asked, “What did you order?”

The beautiful boss suddenly went closer, bringing with her a gust of fragrant wind, which made her dizzy.

“I… I didn’t order anything you don’t like.”

She stammered.
