Chapter 03 Long Live Milk Biscuits
Qin Yinghuai always kept his public and private affairs separate and never treated his subordinates harshly.
But the moment he saw Ji Shi'an in the office, Qin Yinghuai inexplicably thought of the heroine who was always sick in the plot. Thinking about the report that Yan Che and he had written about Ji Shi'an's recent physical condition, he couldn't help but reflect on whether he had exploited the other party in his daily life.
The thought flashed through his mind, and Qin Yinghuai shook his head, feeling amused at his own inexplicable worry.
He knew Ji Shian's personality very well. After all, he had been with him since he was eighteen years old and had not yet graduated.
I am capable and ambitious, and I have an aura of fearlessness that is as sharp as a knife.
Although he has a poor background and a low starting point, he has a good mentality and can bend and stretch when encountering problems.
For such a rare talent in a century, Qin Yinghuai is willing to be the grindstone to help her move to higher places.
Those in power will more or less have some interest in cultivating talents, and to cut and polish a dusty gem to reveal its crystal clear interior is itself an act of supreme merit.
Such a person is completely different from the trouble-making and good-for-nothing heroine in the plot. They just have the same name, so how could I connect them together?
Maybe I was dreaming and stupid.
Feeling guilty about secretly scheming his subordinates, Qin Yinghuai silently sent her a red envelope with the note: (voluntary gift) Thank you for your hard work yesterday.
Ji Shian stared intently at the three eights that had just been deposited into his phone. After thinking for two seconds without any result, he bowed devoutly in the direction of the office, then sat up straight and concentrated on his work.
She's okay, she can still do it.
I wish the boss good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains.
Generally speaking, as a company executive, one would not easily ask for leave when business is busy near the end of the year, but the system kept urging him to say that the plot timeline was about to begin, so Ji Shian should make arrangements in advance for whatever he wanted to do.
So Ji, who had always been in good health and had not taken a vacation for three years, fell ill and took a week-long vacation.
Qin Yinghuai was rarely flustered after seeing the reason for the leave request. The leave was approved quickly, with only one request: Please wait until Ji Te is well again before returning to work. Note: If necessary, you can apply for medical assistance from the company.

[Please wear short sleeves, it's 30 degrees in Haiyuan City now.]
[Bring a kettle, the ones in the hotel are not clean.]
[Would you like to bring some more snacks? The milk cookies we had last time were delicious.]
Ji Shian spread out his suitcase and methodically sorted his clothes, while the system chirped and offered suggestions. The noise gave Ji Shian a headache, so he tore open a bag of milk biscuits and placed them on the coffee table.
"Eat it yourself."
It's like when parents are busy they coax their children aside and let them play by themselves.
The system was completely unaware of the crackling storm sucking in the air, and Ji Shian continued diligently packing his travel items.
In order to avoid running into her boss on a business trip, she secretly asked Yan Che, who was temporarily replacing her, for information.
[A handsome and kind-hearted secretary]: Mr. Qin has no private schedule recently. Only a few CEOs from nearby cities want to ask him to inquire about Huading's activities, but he wants to postpone it.
[Handsome and kind-hearted secretary]: So the workload is pretty good recently. I can handle it. You should have a good rest.
[Diligent Assistant]: Okay, thank you, Brother Yan! [Sea Otter Heart.jpg]
[Handsome and kind-hearted secretary]: Get well soon. [Sea otter receiving an IV.jpg]
It seemed that Yan Che was worried about Ji Shian living alone, so he reminded him again and again.
[Handsome and kind-hearted secretary]: If you encounter something that you can't handle, you can call me. Jian Xun and Su Qi are also worried about you.
Jian Xun and Su Qi are also in the secretariat. If Yan Che is the Jinyiwei selected by the emperor, Ji Shian is the chief eunuch beside the emperor, and Jian Xun and Su Qi are the left and right prime ministers.
The analogy was so vivid that the system immediately said it understood.
After confirming that the weather was clear and the plane could take off normally, Ji Shian dragged his suitcase and got into a taxi early in the morning.
I deliberately chose to set off in the early morning when there were fewer people, but I still got stuck in traffic.
The sun went from being barely visible to hanging prominently overhead, time passed quickly, and the traffic remained almost motionless.
The driver was a typical northern man with a loud voice. He started yelling as if he was about to start a quarrel. "Hey, what day is it today? Why are all the birds crowing? Is it raining pancakes?"
Considering the young-looking girl sitting in the car, the driver rolled down the window, swallowed the curse words that were about to come out of his mouth, and angrily pounded the steering wheel.
Ji Shian watched as the time, which had once been ample, gradually became shorter, and mentally poked the system: "Is this the world power you mentioned earlier showing its power?"
The system scanned the surrounding area and discovered that a car at the intersection ahead had lost control of its brakes, collided with several passing vehicles in a chain reaction, and finally stopped after hitting the curb.
The incident happened unexpectedly, and the tragic atmosphere at the scene was also unusually quiet.
However, in such a serious traffic accident, the parties present did not even have a scratch on their bodies. They stood in the cold wind, looking at each other and questioning their lives.
[* Hmm, it seems so.]
The system swallowed fearfully, feeling the data within it become chaotic for a moment, and then dryly advised: "Why don't we go back?"
Ji Shian hesitated:
Now that she's here and has taken vacation, it would be a waste if she doesn't even want to go out and have some fun.
Ji Shian finally paid double the fare according to the reserved price, and searched for the nearest hotel with his luggage under the driver's shining eyes.
The system sighed as it looked at her sad and angry back.
The host is really stubborn.
Ji Shian paused as he thought of something: [Did those car owners suffer serious property damage?]
The system has been closely monitoring the situation at the nearby intersection, broadcasting it without delay:
[It's serious, but not a problem for you. Two of them were driving without a license, three were driving under the influence, and one had an expired license that hadn't been renewed.]
[The plot can at best bring them together, but it can't create something out of nothing, so don't worry too much.]
Ji Shian was stunned. Shao Qing said, "That's fine. It can be considered as... getting rid of a pest for the people."
The hotel we chose, nestled among a sea of brightly colored restaurants, seemed rather bleak. The sign on the door was gray, and when we entered the lobby, we saw peeling paint, dusty furniture, and cobwebs crawling in the corners.
Ji Shian's eyes swept around like a searchlight, and he nodded with satisfaction.
Not bad, it’s pretty shabby, that’s it.
After completing the check-in process, Ji Shian threw himself onto the bed, staring at the chandelier above his head and clearing his mind.
The system squatted on the coffee table and showed off the cookies. Thinking about the non-refundable air tickets, it felt a little sorry for the money.
How much are these cookies worth?
"It's okay," Ji Shian rolled over and got up, leaning against the soft cushion at the head of the bed, and turned on the TV. "I've saved some money over the years."
She glanced at the system and smiled, "Enough for you to eat cookies until you're full."
The system had to admit that it was impressed and asked to place an order for ten more packages of cookies.
Once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back.
Ji Shian's mouth twitched as he refused coldly: "I'm afraid you'll get sick from eating too much, so don't eat lunch."
The program on TV was very boring, so Ji Shian simply turned it off to save the hotel a negligible amount of electricity bill.
When the heavy curtains in the narrow room were drawn, the already dim room became even darker, and Ji Shian felt drowsy.
The paper bags on the table piled up more and more, and the system's chewing movements gradually slowed down, with a myriad of worries in its small mechanical mind.
[Host, what do you say...what if Qin Yinghuai finds this place?]
Ji Shian used sick leave as the reason for his leave.
The leave request letter was carefully selected by one person after searching various websites and carefully considering every word. The words were sincere and simple, full of apologies to the company, guilt for the careful training of the boss, and gratitude to colleagues.
By the end, Ji Shian was almost moved to tears.
The system thought it was outrageous at the time. It thought the host was a wolf-killer, but it turned out to be a fool, shaking her head.
Just fool others, don't fool yourself.
When Ji Shian heard the system's worried voice, he opened one eyelid and glanced at it, and gave three strong reasons.
First, she had specifically chosen this hotel after searching and screening. It was small in size and of questionable quality, especially for its sound insulation.
Ji Shian calmly adjusted his headphones to block out the unhealthy sounds from next door that accidentally leaked into his ears.
According to Qin Yinghuai's habit, even if he couldn't go home due to something urgent, he would not step into here.
Second, she knew in advance that Qin Yinghuai had no plans to go out today. They could just stay in the hotel and order takeout for seven days. Unless Qin Yinghuai suddenly appeared, there was no way they would see him.
The third point is the most important one.
[Hmm, what is it?]
"I'm tired." I couldn't walk anymore.
System Crazy:
Is this the reason why you don't go home?
Ji Shian's expression was sincere: "What if something unexpected happens on the way home and forces us to go back to the company?"
"Do I have to drag a suitcase to work?"
Ji Shian closed his eyes and his face was peaceful.
Then what about her reputation in the company?
She was kind to others and always maintained a gentle and polite demeanor. She acted so well every day that Ji Shian almost forgot that he was a funny person.
Only when chatting and sharing gossip with Yan Che and others can I find a little bit of clear happiness.
What is it for?
Isn’t it all about the company’s corporate image!
Ji Shian lowered her eyes with regret. After all, she had sacrificed too much.
The system also sighed.
[No wonder you only brought a short-sleeved shirt. Did you anticipate this situation?]
"I just feel it might not be that simple, so I'm used to being cautious."
Ji Tezhu has been in the world for so many years, and what he relies on is certainly not his bravery alone, but his foresight and foresight to take ten steps ahead.
Daily Self-Praise (1/1)
Ji Shian moved his head and changed into a comfortable position. His eyes inadvertently swept across the small table not far away and his breathing stopped.
Empty packaging bags piled up like a small mountain on the table.
This isn't just snacking, it's magic.
Clear with one click.
There was still some residue hanging on the corner of the system's mouth, and it smiled shyly.
Milk biscuits, the greatest invention in the world.
[If you hadn't insisted on trying to figure out what would happen if you didn't follow the storyline, we'd be eating the free snacks in the company's tea room right now.]
Eat, eat, eat, just eat.
Ji Shian's eyelids twitched wildly. "I was collecting data to facilitate the formulation of future rules."
How powerful the plot is and how much impact it will have on her life are all unknowns and we have to slowly experiment to find out.
The more information you have, the more flexible you can be in responding to emergencies.
[So why don't you just try playing the story first? That way I can accumulate some energy and help you make some small changes if you have trouble with the operation.]
The new authority granted to it by the headquarters seems very powerful.
The system is ready to move.
Ji Shian looked at it like a fool: "Are you planning to fool Qin Yinghuai like a fool?"
If the plot goes as it should, on her first day of work, she would have to walk around in front of Qin Yinghuai wearing a short sweater that doesn't fit her body and worn-out pants, and even pour a cup of boiling hot coffee on him.
You'd be lucky if you were only scolded, but you'd be afraid of being labeled as malicious by your self-disciplined boss and kicked out of Yun City.
The most important thing is that it is impossible to explain. Such a stupid and weird operation is absurd and outrageous.
If things really develop like that, all her efforts over the years will be in vain.
not to mention……
"Forget about going to the chairman's office. The security guard will stop me and won't let me through the main gate."
The system feels something is wrong.
[But they all know you.]
Why won’t you let me in?
Ji Shian: [Smoke in the Sky.jpg]
"It's precisely because everyone knows me that I can't use this face to enter the company." Otherwise, the news that Ji Tezhu went bankrupt and was kicked out of Chengyue the next day would definitely spread all over the Internet.
If she covered her face and wore tattered clothes like a ragpicker, the security guards would probably think she was sent by the rival to cause trouble, and their target might be the thriving money tree in their company.
Life is not easy, Ji Tezhu sighed.
At lunch time, Ji Shian finally failed to deduct food from the system due to its unreasonable nagging. He chose three dumplings with different flavors and sat quietly in the room, watching short videos boredly, waiting for the robot to deliver the takeaway.
The phone on the bedside table rang, and the takeaway robot was already outside the door. Ji Shian walked to the door in three or two steps and opened it in a flash.
The door slammed shut the next second.
