Chapter 01 Only Silly and No Sweetness
A heavy snow fell, drifting like cotton wool, quietly whitening the entire city overnight. Icicles hung from the treetops, occasionally gleaming with a glimmer of light. Flowers and plants, their white hats on their heads, trembled in the wind, shaking off the rustling snow.
In winter, the heating in the house was turned on very high, the transparent glass windows blocked the snowflakes knocking on the door, and small piles of snow accumulated on the edge of the platform.
Ji Shi'an lay in the soft quilt, his face flushed from waking up. His eyes, which were usually bright and energetic, were now empty and lifeless. He lay motionless on the bed, his whole body exuding a faint sense of death.
She had always been exceptional, defying all odds, skipping grades to complete her studies. Relying on her sharp intuition and exceptional intelligence, she seized every opportunity, overcame all odds, and at the age of 22, she managed to beat 99% of her peers and land the position of assistant to the chairman of Chengyue Group.
Later, under the personal training of Chairman Qin Yinghuai, she gradually grew into an all-round assistant who was good at dealing with people and capable of handling affairs with ease. She became one of the representatives of Qin Yinghuai's external image. Almost all the bigwigs from all walks of life had to give her a smile when they saw her.
I would kick any dog that passed by and curse them with a smile: Winner in life.
She thought she had a cool script in which she could stand with her hands on her hips and upgrade to become the most powerful person in the world. However, she had an ordinary dream on an ordinary night. Suddenly, a system appeared in her head and told her that she was the silly and innocent heroine in a novel of a few hundred words.
Ji Shian: The sky is falling.
Yes, there is only silly white, no sweetness.
The heroine relied on her halo as the heroine to crash around like an out-of-control remote-controlled car, and the trouble she caused could be woven into a sieve.
This included, but was not limited to, losing the male protagonist's company's confidential documents and causing a colleague to be scolded, falling flat on her face and spilling coffee on the male protagonist, missing an important economic development seminar by sending him on a day trip to the hospital, and getting into a fight with the male protagonist's friend, which was misunderstood by the male protagonist, leading to a breakdown in their friendship and leaving her helpless in the subsequent business battle...
How did the heroine become an assistant? Was it because she could cry in a second and had a maxed-out skill to cause trouble?
The more Ji Shian thought about it, the more wronged he felt, and the more desperate he felt.
This is impossible, this doesn't make sense! There's no way Ji, the all-rounder, would do something so stupid!
The protagonist is also absurd. He has a head on his neck, for what purpose? He hired an assistant with negative professional skills and refused to fire her. He then inexplicably falls in love with this mobile troublemaker. He also has a high opinion of himself and insists on being a devilish and unruly character, using force and predatory tactics.
The two of them have two iron mouths. They don't explain misunderstandings when there are any, and create misunderstandings when there are none. The author mixed various elements of ancient romance novels together, and let the male and female protagonists entangled for millions of words.
The most frustrating thing is that the male protagonist in the setting is her immediate superior, Qin Yinghuai, chairman of Chengyue Group, whom she respects like a father.
That's the man who controls her financial lifeline!
Salary, year-end bonus, performance, daily bonuses...all the money in the bank account is supported by Mr. Qin.
Ji Shian practically burned incense and prayed to the Buddha day and night for the old man's good health and longevity, with a few RMB slipping out from between his fingers. He wanted her to experience the feeling of being a billionaire.
The dignified and cold face of my boss appeared in my mind. According to the description in the plot, I manually added a slicked-back hair full of mousse, scarlet eyes and a charming upturned mouth.
Help, help, help...hold your brain!
The picture is so beautiful and exciting.
He gulped down a bellyful of cold water, feeling somewhat calmer. Pressing the alarm clock that was about to go off, Ji Shian rubbed his warm cheeks and cleared his mind with one click.
It must be because she was too unrestrained when she was sharing the melodramatic urban drama with Secretary Yan a few days ago, and her subconscious mind accidentally linked them together in her dream.
I squeezed the toothpaste with my eyes half closed and just put it in my mouth, I heard an electronic sound in my head. The wording and sentence structure sounded like giving orders.
[You are the heroine of a novel. You must follow the script and complete the plot to gain freedom.]
Ji Shian was suddenly choked by the foam and coughed so hard that tears kept rolling in his eyes.
She closed her eyes for a while.
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
There was no context, no polite greetings, just the actual task.
So rude.
After making sure he wasn't hallucinating and recalling his extensive experience writing novels, Ji Shian wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth and asked tentatively, "System?"
[Um. ]
Ji Shian blinked, but didn't hear any follow-up for a long time. "No, no more?"
So... that's it, the rest is up to guesswork.
Her mind raced, thinking about how to approach the topic so that this system with a zipper on its mouth could get more out of it.
[Stop, stop.]
The originally clear electronic sound became blurred, crackling as if there was a poor connection.
"oh."
Ji Shian's train of thought was interrupted by the sudden sound, and he subconsciously stopped thinking.
The system escaped from its washing machine-like mind and found that Ji Shian's brain was a little out of control. It threw away "Novice System Quickly Grasps the Host in Three Hundred Steps" and explained at a rapid speed.
[Hello host, I am Book Transmigration System No. 089, affiliated with the Supervisory Department of the Book Transmigration Administration. I currently reside in your brain. This is a world formed by the fusion of multiple novels. The energy generated by the operation of each novel's plot is the nourishment for the normal operation of this world.]
[The most important pillar of the world is "Pure White Rose", and you are the heroine.]
[If you don't complete the story, the whole world will collapse.]
After receiving a long string of responses, Ji Shian had a clue. He slowly wiped his mouth and strolled to the window to observe the weather outside. His gaze shifted from the falling snow to the mini cactus ball on the windowsill, its fuzzy fur looking soft.
Xuyou smiled lightly, with no warmth in his eyes: "I don't believe it."
Most bosses will paint a rosy picture and exaggerate their words to their subordinates, and she is sometimes no exception because this tactic really works.
Putting aside whether the world formed by the fusion of novels is true or false, even if it is true, the system uses the word "multiple books", which means that in addition to this book called "Pure White Rose", there are other novels that can produce energy to support the operation of the world.
What he said was that if she didn't follow the plot, the world would be destroyed...wasn't he just trying to force her to complete the mission?
She is almost twenty-five, and is no longer at the age of saving the world.
Ji Shian curled his lips in disdain, turned around and rummaged through the closet to find the white plush scarf with ears on the hat. It looked soft, thick and cute.
I rubbed it a bit and that’s it for today.
The system was choked by her decisive tone. Before it could refute her, it watched her hurried out the door and opened its mouth to stop her.
[It’s snowing so heavily outside, are you still going to work?]
work to earn a living……
Would the average person use this word to describe a business executive?
However, considering that the species are different and the word usage habits may be slightly different, Ji Shian temporarily put it aside and nodded casually and passed it over vaguely. When he passed the sideboard, he paused and realized that he didn't bring his car keys.
The snow was falling fast and heavily. The grandfather selling breakfast on the street did not set up his stall. The few pedestrians on the road were wrapped tightly and walked hurriedly. Occasionally, one or two cars slowly crawled past on the street.
Ji Shian took a glance, praised himself for his foresight, and slid a long way away on the tiles.
It's snowing so heavily that driving is faster than skiing. He really deserves to be Ji's special assistant.
Daily Praise (1/1)
The headquarters of Chengyue Group is located in the central area of Yun City, where every inch of land is valuable, among a forest of high-rise buildings.
The billboards on the road changed one after another. The heavy snow blurred the vision and the naked eye could barely see the colorful lights.
Large and small businesses choose to locate nearby, but it is rare for a company like Chengyue Group to occupy two buildings.
The circular plank road connects the two buildings with smooth lines, like a silent soldier standing firmly in the snow. The novel and unique design and exterior pattern give the entire building a classical temperament that is not quite in line with the high-tech industrial cluster.
It is said that it is the preference of the former chairman's wife.
Ji Shian took a few quick steps across the street, took out his scarf from his pocket, tucked it in quickly with his fingers, and exhaled a puff of white mist.
The snow was very deep. It was the heaviest snowfall in Yun City in a century. Almost the entire city was buried in the snow overnight.
Ji Shian walked out of the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and glanced sideways to see the security guard who was sweeping the snow.
"Uncle Ma, thank you for your hard work!"
Security guard Lao Ma stopped shoveling the snow, straightened up and looked towards the source of the sound. He saw a round, white ball rolling towards him with great effort, and it stretched out a stick-like object and swung it.
What?
It was still dark, and Lao Ma shuddered. He quickly wiped the foggy lenses with his gloves, then took a closer look and laughed, "Wow, it's Assistant Ji! You're here really early today!"
Ji Shian curved his eyebrows, chatted with someone for a few words, and then walked into the building, leaving light footprints on the carpet in front of the door.
It was still early, and the front desk hadn't arrived yet. Ji Shian stepped briskly into the elevator. Just before the elevator door closed, a hurried voice rang out.
"Wait for me! Wait for me!"
Ji Shian pressed the door-opening button, looked at the anxious face of the visitor, and said softly, "Don't worry, it's still early for the clock-in."
"Hello, Jite."
Xiao Lin, an employee from the publicity department, still had a tuft of snow on his head and the tip of his nose was red from the cold. He recognized the kind person who had left the elevator open at a glance and greeted him with a laugh.
"I wasn't in a hurry at first. I saw it was snowing heavily and left early. Guess what happened?"
"Oh no! My car got a flat on the road. I was so anxious that I called the towing company right away, worried that I wouldn't be able to clock in on time."
"It's almost the end of the month, perfect attendance... hehehe."
Chengyue Group has good treatment, and the full attendance bonus is much higher than other companies.
Xiao Lin rubbed his hands and thanked Ji Shian for the tissue he handed him. He was very excited to be riding in the same elevator with the goddess of the company.
He couldn't stop talking. He casually brushed his hair and sighed at the water in his hand: "Luckily I have short hair, so it's quick to dry."
It was not until he reached the floor and got off the elevator that the small space returned to silence. Ji Shian breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his cheeks, which were stiff from smiling.
Very lively (noisy) staff.
If I had known earlier, I would have let him take the next bus (smile).
The system was busy flipping through the book "Novice System Quickly Masters the Host in 300 Steps" which was said to be a unified copy, and did not pay attention to Ji Shian's current situation.
There was a line of small words written at the bottom of the last page of the book: "The above are all incorrect examples. Please take them as a warning. Please discuss this with the specific host."
It was so angry that it opened the system mall to complain.
Its eyes fell on the extremely high rating of 5.0. It clicked on the comment section with a puzzled look on its face, and was unexpectedly blinded by a string of five-star reviews.
How could this be?
[This book is very important, be sure to read it from beginning to end!]
[This book is the most practical book I have ever read, and the author is awesome.]
[Good books are hard to come by, five-star praise.]
[Everyone eats whale, everyone is confused, everyone is puzzled.jpg]
The system was silent for a long time, and I scrolled through a lot of emoticons in my heart. My mentality gradually changed, and I hesitated to withdraw the complaint message, and then silently gave a five-star review against my conscience.
It has no bad intentions and definitely doesn't want other systems to experience the pleasure of being fooled, really.
After finishing all this, it remembered its own job, checked on Ji Shian's situation, and then was completely stunned.
[You you you…]
Ji Shian: [Me, me, me?]
Ji Shian had already arrived at his workstation, holding a croissant provided free of charge by the company cafeteria with fresh strawberry jam inside. A cup of warm milk was placed in front of his computer. He looked relaxed and lazy, as if he was used to it.
A heavy down jacket hangs on a hanger by the door, a suit jacket is draped over the back of a chair, and the desk is neat and tidy...
Each of these points is completely contrary to the imagined image of a person wearing an apron pocket and holding a latte art pitcher.
The system rubbed its eyes in disbelief.
[Shouldn't you be working at a coffee shop right now?]
Ji Shian was impressed by its quick reaction: "Is this house near the city center something I could have earned purely by working part-time?"
The system belatedly realized that something was out of control.
[Besides, as a PhD student graduating from a prestigious university, isn't it a bit of a waste of my talents to be reporting to a coffee shop every day?]
The system crashed instantly.
