Chapter 866 Kong Chi Extra (9)

Gu Zhixu guessed that this young master had never been to a place like this before, and it was normal that he couldn't stand it. So he patiently said, "Although this place is a bit dirty and messy, the advantage is that it's close to the company. It only takes me about ten minutes to get to and from get off work by taxi, which is very convenient."

That's right, that's exactly it.

With her monthly salary, she could easily afford a place that is just as convenient, but with conditions at least three levels better.

Clearly, she had no intention of saying anything more.

Kong Chi was inexplicably a little irritated.

His gaze swept over her instep, then he paused: "Why aren't you wearing the shoes I gave you?"

Gu Zhixu was stunned. She never expected that her boss would actually pay attention to what shoes she wore every day. Her scalp tingled, and she subconsciously said, "President Chi, isn't it inappropriate not to wear high heels?"

She had to travel to so many places with Kong Chi every day, and high heels could enhance her aura and better showcase her professional image.

She felt that Kong Chi had given her the shoes yesterday on a whim, and she naturally couldn't pay for her boss's whim.

But Kong Chi clearly didn't think so. His brows furrowed even deeper: "You're here to work. Doing your job well is the most important thing. Are other things that important?"

Knowing that she couldn't reason with Kong Chi, Gu Zhixu could only go along with him and say, "Okay, boss, I understand. I'll wear flats tomorrow, but... can I not wear the pair you gave me?"

"Um?"

Gu Zhixu glanced at Kong Chi's expression and said, "My size is 37, and those shoes are size 36. I really... can't fit into them."

Kong Chi: "..."

He looked visibly annoyed, and when he spoke again, his voice was noticeably less assertive than before: "Throw these away, I'll buy you another pair later."

She dared not accept the shoes Kong Chi had given her, waving her hands repeatedly and saying, "There's no need! It's not that Mr. Chi... I really have a lot of flat shoes at home. I wear flat shoes when I'm not working. I'll definitely wear them tomorrow, so there's no need to send them again. Okay, I'm leaving now. Thank you, Mr. Chi, for driving me back today. I'm leaving now. Mr. Chi, you should also go home early. Good night!"

After saying that, she got out of the car and ran away.

As she left, the fragrance in the car dissipated. Kong Chi subconsciously wanted to stop her again, but then realized that his actions were illogical and abandoned the idea, though the restlessness in his heart remained.

Seeing his boss's expression, the driver in the front seat quickly admitted his mistake, saying, "Mr. Chi, although you gave me the shoe size, I didn't actually double-check it before buying it. It's still my fault. Please punish me."

Kong Chi: "...Shut up."

His current driver is the son of his father's former driver. They grew up together and, although they are in a superior-subordinate relationship, they are practically brothers.

How could he possibly punish him for something like this?

I'm the one who's more angry than the other.

How could you get something so simple wrong?

He let out a long sigh, rubbed his temples, and said, "Back to the apartment."

"Okay!" the driver replied readily, but still couldn't help but gossip a little: "Mr. Chi, Xiao Xu has been with you for years, and you've never taken her home before. What's going on today?"

Considering that Boss Chi had been giving him breakfast and dinner, shoes, and gifts over the past two days, he realized he had just seen the truth – his boss had definitely blossomed!

Kong Chi glared at him and said, "It's so late, it's not safe for a girl to take a taxi home alone."

Wow, I don't feel safe now.

Why didn't I realize that before?

The driver firmly believed that his boss was being stubborn and pretending to be a gentleman when he was clearly smitten.

Kong Chi, however, was thinking about what had happened to the streamer yesterday.

I might really be obsessed, always linking that streamer with Gu Zhixu.

Thinking about what the other person had gone through, and then thinking about what would happen to Gu Zhixu, he found it hard to bear.

So today, disregarding the other party's refusal, he directly ordered them to get into the car with him.

Just now, he didn't feel at ease until he saw the light in her room come on.

...

On the way back to the apartment, Kong Chi turned on his phone again; the other party had already started a live stream.

As usual, the comments section quickly filled with greetings for the streamer.

The host responded to everyone as usual.

What's different today is that when Yi Shunshui asked the streamer to talk about the bizarre behavior of his boss in the comments section, the streamer was strangely silent for a while before saying, "I suspect our boss has been cursed. Does anyone know anything about this and can help me figure it out?"

Afterwards, Gu Zhixu began to complain about Kong Chi's inexplicable behavior towards him over the past two days.

On the other side of the screen, Kong Chi initially shared the host's indignation, thinking that the boss was really inexplicable, but as he listened, he felt that something was not quite right.

Why does this boss the streamer is talking about look so familiar?

Clearly, the driver in the front seat hadn't noticed anything yet. As the anchor recounted the story, he couldn't help but chime in, "Why is this boss so unpredictable? This young lady is still quite young, isn't she? I'm so worried about her following this boss."

"Don't you think... the boss wasn't actually that bad to her?" Kong Chi asked subconsciously.

"Hey, Mr. Chi, you're the boss yourself, of course you can't understand what the employees are thinking! When they see the boss being nice to them, they don't really think it's nice. They might even think the boss is trying to take advantage of them! They might be thinking about how to quit and run away right now!"

Kong Chi: "...Is that so? Then what about his feelings for Gu Zhixu...?"

Damn it, why did I think of Gu Zhixu again?

He shook his head and continued reading the comments section.

The comments section analyzed the boss's issues mentioned by the streamer, with most agreeing that the boss, who usually exploited the streamer, was suddenly making a complete turn in attitude, suggesting that he was probably planning something.

Some people speculate that the boss wanted to fire the streamer, but because the streamer's income was considerable, he didn't want to give her n+1 compensation and deliberately tried to win her over with small favors first.

Some people, like the driver, thought that the boss might be trying to sexually harass her.

Some people even said that the boss might actually be under a curse.

In short, the conclusions are varied, absurd, and bizarre.

Then a comment popped up: "[Have you ever considered that your boss might actually have a crush on you?]"

Upon seeing this, Kong Chi's hand, which was gripping his phone, suddenly tightened for some reason.

He let out a long sigh, eager to hear the host's response.

The next second, the streamer laughed in a somewhat nonchalant manner: "Sister, do you believe that pigs can climb trees? Do you believe that eggplant seedlings can grow in cornfields? Do you believe that I invented the light bulb? If you don't believe any of these, then don't make such outrageous guesses, okay?"

Upon hearing the host say that, the comments below all echoed—

[Hahaha, sister is right, that person just now must have read too many romance novels, right?]

Yeah, let's not forget who we are, working like oxen and horses. Stop fantasizing about such romantic love, let's be more realistic, okay?
