Chapter 5 Xia Yu supported his head with his left hand, held a pen in his right hand, and carefully held a stack of financial statements.

Xia Yu supported his head with his left hand, held a pen in his right hand, and carefully held a stack of financial statements, scribbling on the white paper. If you knew, you would think he was analyzing the financial statements, but if you didn't, you would think he was deciding some important life event.

Chen Zheng smiled and shook her head when she saw this. Fearing that she would get angry and embarrassed, she covered her face with the document.

The light and shadow in front of the window gradually became brighter. The two of them were doing their own things. The only sound in the air was the sparse flipping of pages, which was quite harmonious.

"Chen Zheng, this..." Xia Yu calculated with the system several times. Seeing that the numbers on the account still didn't match, she looked up at Chen Zheng, and after wanting to say something several times, she finally opened her mouth.

Chen Zheng flipped through the documents and said calmly without even raising her head: "At work, it's called by position. Mr. Xiao Xia."

"Oh," Xia Yuwei puffed up her lips and muttered softly, "So fierce."

"Not fierce." Unexpectedly, Chen Zheng heard it. She raised her head, her brows slightly raised, and explained to Xia Yu seriously.

"I'll be there as soon as I finish this matter."

Xia Yu blinked her eyelashes twice rapidly, lowered her head as usual, picked up the pen and wrote two strokes on the paper, but they were all random scribbles with no regular pattern.

She stared at the lines of the scribbles in panic, just like her pounding heart at the moment. She puffed her lips and muttered a lot in her heart.

Too much, too much, how could this be, how could it be so... so...

She couldn't tell what she felt. The usually serious and cold Chen Zheng had lost her edge. The harshness in her eyebrows and eyes had quietly faded away, drooping softly over her eyes, with a faint smile on her face. She was indescribably beautiful, different from anyone she had ever seen.

"What are you thinking about? Pay attention." Her slender fingers tapped three times on her desk. Chen Zheng appeared behind her without her noticing. She leaned down slightly and looked down at the problematic financial report.

A few strands of hair fell from her ears, swaying gently in front of Xia Yu's eyes. Xia Yu blinked, and her eyes followed closely like a kitten seeing a cat toy, and then went up along the hair and fell on her profile. She was secretly looking at her.

There was a faint scent of sandalwood floating on the tip of her nose. Xia Yu sniffed gently and felt a little itchy. It was as if her whole body was enveloped by the smell.

"It seems that President Xia has taken over, and some people are becoming restless." Chen Zheng sneered, with a hint of hostility flashing across his brows.

She picked up a pen and circled several places, explaining them to Xia Yu one by one. After the explanation, she leaned against the table and looked down at Xia Yu.

"I'll give you this as a practice. President Xia doesn't want her to be the one to establish her authority."

"Of course, I won't let President Shen down." Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and looked back at Chen Zheng without showing any weakness. The flame in his eyes was blazing and calm, with pride and edge.

"Not bad." Chen Zheng chuckled, reached out and gently rubbed Xia Yu's hair which was a little frizzy due to excitement, turned around and pretended to return to her seat.

"Chen Zheng!" Xia Yu's overwhelming momentum was crushed by Chen Zheng's extremely natural movements. She gritted her teeth and shouted loudly. Thinking of Chen Zheng's previous reminder, she changed her words fiercely.

"Boss Shen! You can't do this."

"Oh? What if it's not possible?" Chen Zheng paused, turned back and raised his eyebrows, puzzled.

Under Shen Zheng's surprised gaze, Xia Yu's momentum weakened a little. She opened and closed her mouth several times, trying to organize her words, and finally spit them out.

"I'm 22 years old and I've graduated from college. You can't treat me the way you treat a child." But with that flustered look and quickened speech, he didn't have much momentum at all.

"Okay, okay, got it, President Xia." Chen Zheng nodded nonchalantly upon hearing this, motioning for her to continue working, and it was unknown how much she had listened to.

Under the interaction of morning light and sunset, the sky became completely dark. Chen Zheng looked up at the time, tidied up the desk, and said to Xia Yu who was still lowering his head.

"It's time to get off work, pack up quickly. If you have any work, go home to do it. Why are you still staying in the company?" Seeing Xia Yu's surprised look, Chen Zheng was extremely puzzled.

She is a capitalist, not a slave owner.

On the premise of ensuring efficiency and performance, why should you bother your employees and bring hatred upon yourself?

Xia Yu, the daughter of a former slave owner, followed behind Shen Zheng, staring at her straight back in a daze.

According to the standards of modern people that she knows, Chen Zheng is a super good boss.

She never worked overtime unless it was an exception. Even if she didn't finish her work, she would take it home and not leave it in the company. Not to mention that she was paid five times the overtime pay for working overtime as an exception.

Although she looks strong and overbearing, she actually never wastes time on her employees and never bullies others by taking advantage of her power.

The longer she spent with her, the less she believed that she was the villain in the book.

The system learned of Xia Yu's doubts, thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Maybe it's a different perspective. According to the hero's standpoint in the book, isn't Chen Zheng a living villain? She has repeatedly opposed him, taken away his power, and destroyed his love, and almost crushed him to death."

Xia Yu was silent for a while, and quickly flipped through the novel in her mind, turning it to the finale to check the ending about Chen Zheng. She quickly read through the descriptions one by one and summarized them in a few words.

That is to say, the villain was almost about to take over the position of the head of the Shen family, but he suddenly died in a car accident, so the protagonist successfully stepped over the bodies of the villain and his biological father, successfully inherited the Shen family, and continued to be entangled with the heroine. The novel ends.

What an absurd way to die, what a vicious ending...

Xia Yu was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, as if he had read a novel with a bad ending, and he kept muttering curses at the author under his breath.

After Chen Zheng got in the car, she saw Xia Yu still outside and urged her with her eyes.

Xia Yu didn't even glance at the situation and hurriedly got into the car. After getting in the car, she realized, "Hey, isn't this the car that the Xia family came to pick her up? Why is Chen Zheng here?"

Xia Yu looked up at Chen Zheng, who had ignored her after getting on the car, with his eyes closed, leaning on the sofa. He rolled his eyes, carefully moved his hips, and slowly approached her.

Before she got too close, she saw Chen Zheng suddenly open her eyes, looking at her actions with a smile, and said lightly: "What are you going to do?"

The noise startled Xia Yu. He patted his chest and snorted coldly.

After all, she was in the wrong. She imitated Chen Zheng and leaned not far from her. She stretched out her finger and poked Chen Zheng's shoulder. She opened her eyes wide and asked in confusion: "Chen Zheng, shouldn't you go back to your home?"

Chen Zheng raised her eyebrows upon hearing this and stretched out her tone: "No matter how you say it, I am yours now..." She glanced at Xia Yu and paused meaningfully, "Wouldn't it be the same wherever we live? Or is it that Xiao Xia is not very welcoming?"

"It is forbidden to mention job titles outside of work situations." Xia Yu imitated Chen Zheng's tone from before, speaking word by word with a stern face, refusing to answer her slightly frivolous words.

It was even cuter, like a little black cat with bared teeth, hunched over and showing its teeth at her, trying to tease her.

"Then what should my name be? Xia Yu?"

"Or Yuyu~?" Chen Zheng suddenly leaned forward and moved closer to Xia Yu's face. Her long hair fell on Xia Yu's shoulders, and her hot breath sprayed on her face. It was itchy.

Seeing Chen Zheng's pretty face appearing enlarged and only about a foot away from her, Xia Yu jumped three feet high as if she was on fire, and quickly jumped up and away from Chen Zheng.

Heat rushed to her cheeks, she gritted her teeth, and glared with flaming eyes at the woman who was smiling and obviously teasing her.

"Shen Zheng!"

Seeing that his reaction was unexpectedly large, Xia Yu snorted coldly, chose a seat farthest from Chen Zheng, turned his head away and ignored her.

After a long time, so long that Chen Zheng thought she had gone too far and irritated the other person, she heard Xia Yu's stiff voice: "Just call me by my name."

A muffled laugh came from Chen Zheng's chest, making Xia Yu's face, which turned away, feel even hotter.

After a few days of quarreling, Xia Yu sat at the table as usual, reviewing the financial statements of the Xia Group.

Compared with the half-understanding situation in the previous few days, Xia Yu is now very proficient in it and his speed has increased by nearly twice as much.

Xia Yu was full of pride. If he wanted to learn something, he would learn it thoroughly and to the best of his ability. He was serious and obsessive. He would sit with Shen Zheng from morning till night every day, with almost no time to rest, but he never complained.

After a few days of Chen Zheng's cramming-style teaching, Xia Yu made rapid progress, although she felt like she was back in the Shangshufang to study again.

But Chen Zheng was a good tutor. She would not hit her palm with a stick, scold her for never being as good as the prince, or complain to her father, the emperor, and her mother, saying that she did not follow the rules and did not learn the female precepts...

She would patiently break down the knowledge and explain it to her clearly, and even if she made a mistake, she would just tap her forehead lightly with her finger and encourage her to keep trying.

Although Xia Yu didn't say it, she was still quite grateful to her in her heart. She knew that it was useless to say it, so she worked harder to become a master as soon as possible and make a lot of money to repay her.

The system, which had been silent all this time, suddenly started to make noises today. It said in a loud voice: "Host, host, there will be a plot starting today. You have to provoke the villain a few times every day."

Xia Yu stopped writing after hearing this and whispered, "Can't we skip the plot about Chen Zheng and go straight to the protagonist?"

The system got stuck for a while, the blue circle turned a few times, and then it was regretfully notified: "After the system's intensive calculations, even if you perfectly complete all the plots about the protagonist, you will not be able to achieve 50% restoration."

"Although Chen Zheng is very kind to the host, I still suggest that the host follow the tasks issued by the system. Complete every plot node, even if it is missing words like the previous funeral, at least there will be some points to be gained. You can barely complete all the tasks."

"I still have to remind the host that if the host does not reach the minimum score required for the task at the end, the host will lose vital signs and die completely."
