Special Assistant Chen is very nice to me
That afternoon, a lengthy inter-departmental video conference lasted past lunchtime.
When Gu Lin came out of the meeting, his eyes habitually swept over Lin Yu'an's workstation.
He was buried in a pile of documents, his brows furrowed, his fingers typing rapidly on the keyboard, obviously working on an urgent task.
Gu Lin's gaze lingered on his slightly pale lips for a moment, then moved away as if nothing had happened.
Less than five minutes after returning to the office, the internal phone rang.
"Mr. Gu," Chen Feng said in a steady voice, "you ordered an extra sandwich for afternoon tea. Do you need to get rid of it?"
Gu Lin paused holding the phone, his eyes falling on the exquisite afternoon tea snack on his desk. He said in a cold tone, "It's a waste to leave it there. Give it to the guy outside who looks like he's about to faint from hunger."
He deliberately emphasized the words "almost fainting from hunger", as if with a hint of disgust.
"I understand." Chen Feng understood.
A moment later, Chen Feng placed a slightly warm tuna and egg sandwich next to Lin Yu'an's pile of documents.
"Special Assistant Chen?" Lin Yu'an looked up blankly from the pile of documents.
"I ordered too much, so I won't waste it if I don't eat it."
Chen Feng spoke briefly and to the point, his expression was the same as always, a poker face.
"Ah! Thank you, Special Assistant Chen! You are truly a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering!"
Lin Yu'an's eyes lit up instantly. He grabbed the sandwich and was so moved that he almost cried. He didn't notice the glance that flashed through the crack of the CEO's office door, which was filled with a bit of satisfaction and awkwardness.
When I got off work, there was another heavy rain.
After Lin Yu'an bought a car, he found that the gas bill was very expensive.
I usually drive only when I take Doupi out, and I take the subway to work.
At this moment, he could only look outside with a sad face at the white rain curtain and the traffic jam with scarlet taillights.
The door of the president's office opened and Gu Lin walked out with an expensive handmade suit jacket draped over his arm.
He walked past Lin Yu'an's workstation without looking away and headed towards the private elevator.
Chen Feng followed him half a step behind like a shadow.
Just as the elevator door was about to close, Gu Lin seemed to suddenly remember something and turned his head to whisper something to Chen Feng.
The voice was soft, but it was loud enough for the worried Lin Yu'an, who was a few steps away, to catch the vague words: "...umbrella...spare..."
The elevator door closed.
A few seconds later, Chen Feng returned with a brand new long-handled black umbrella in his hand, which looked very valuable.
He walked up to Lin Yu'an and handed him the umbrella.
"Special Assistant Chen?" Lin Yu'an was flattered again.
"There's an extra umbrella in Mr. Gu's spare car." Chen Feng's tone remained calm, as if he was stating an objective fact. "Take it."
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Yu'an's reaction, he stuffed the umbrella into his hand, then turned and left, walking towards the employee elevator.
Lin Yu'an held the heavy umbrella and looked at the heavy rain outside, feeling warm in his heart.
He carefully held the umbrella in his arms and decided to thank Special Assistant Chen properly tomorrow!
The next day, Lin Yu'an personally returned the umbrella to Chen Feng and thanked him specially, but Chen Feng just replied calmly, "You're welcome."
Chen Te is so helpful!
After that, after working overtime for several consecutive days, Lin Yu'an felt that his waist was about to break.
After sitting for a long time, I felt a dull pain in my body, and I couldn't help but twist and turn at my workstation and grimaced.
The heavy door of the president's office opened silently, and Gu Lin came out to get a document that Chen Feng had just delivered.
His eyes accurately caught Lin Yu'an's little action of secretly rubbing his waist and the painful expression that flashed across his face.
Gu Lin's footsteps paused almost imperceptibly, then he picked up the documents with an expressionless face and turned back.
Ten minutes later, Chen Feng appeared next to Lin Yu'an's workstation again, holding a memory foam waist support that looked extremely ergonomic, fluffy and soft.
"Special Assistant Chen?" Lin Yu'an had become somewhat accustomed to the sudden concern from this special assistant who appeared cold on the outside but was actually warm on the inside.
"Mr. Gu doesn't need these samples sent by the brand." Chen Feng leaned his waist against Lin Yu'an's chair and said, "Try it."
Lin Yu'an sat on it hesitantly, and instantly, the perfect support wrapped around his aching waist, making him so comfortable that he almost groaned.
"Oh my god! It feels so good! Special Assistant Chen, you are like my adopted parent!"
He was so moved that he wanted to perform a selfless act for Chen Feng on the spot.
The corners of Chen Feng's mouth seemed to twitch ever so slightly, and in the end, he simply said, "Work hard."
They quickly evacuated the scene.
Lin Yu'an leaned against the new equipment happily, feeling that his waist and back were no longer sore, and he even had more energy to work overtime!
He was completely immersed in the feeling of "Special Assistant Chen is such a great colleague."
He didn't notice at all that behind the one-way glass wall of the president's office, Gu Lin was holding a coffee cup, his eyes fixed on his back as he leaned against his waist with a look of satisfaction on his face.
The look in his eyes was so complex that it was hard to describe. It contained a sense of relief and a subtle joy in seeing that he was satisfied.
But more often than not, it's a feeling of being completely ignored and having nowhere to vent... a feeling of being suffocated.
Why was all the gratitude directed towards Chen Feng? Obviously... it was obviously him!
---
The successive experiences of being "rescued" made Lin Yu'an's gratitude towards Chen Feng flow like a surging river, endless.
This high mood reached its peak when the live broadcast started in the evening.
Under the warm yellow light, Lin Yu'an (An Xiaomao) wore a chestnut wavy wig, delicate light makeup on her face, and cute home clothes. She exuded a kind of laziness and joy after being "spoiled".
"Good evening, my dears!"
He spoke in a sweet and soft voice, "An An is not here to complain today! Today An An is here to share happiness!"
[Huh? The sun is rising from the west? An Bao actually stopped scolding his boss?]
[Tell me quickly! Did you find some money or win the lottery?]
[Could it be... that your boss finally got his act together and gave you a raise?]
"Hey, hey, neither of those!"
Lin Yu'an held his chin in his hand, his eyes full of stars. "He's a fantastic colleague in our company! Seriously, I declare him the best Chinese colleague of the year!"
He couldn't wait to start recounting the great achievements of "Special Assistant Chen":
"You know what? The day before yesterday afternoon, I was almost fainting from hunger, and he 'conveniently' gave me a super delicious sandwich! Tuna and egg sandwich! So filling!"
"It was raining like crazy yesterday! I didn't bring an umbrella and was just worried about it, but he just happened to pull out a brand new long-handled umbrella from his boss's car and gave it to me! It made me feel so safe!"
"And today! My waist is about to break from sitting, and he 'just happened' to get a top-notch ergonomic lumbar support from a brand that my boss didn't want anymore! He gave it to me! Sitting on it feels like being supported by a cloud! So comfortable!"
Lin Yu'an grew increasingly excited as he spoke, his face flushing with excitement as he danced with joy. "Really? He usually looks so aloof and quiet, but I didn't expect him to be so kind! So thoughtful! He's the epitome of a cold exterior but a warm heart! I declare that Special Assistant is my workplace idol! My benefactor!"
He was immersed in the joy of sharing and his infinite admiration for "Special Assistant Chen", and was completely unaware of how... suggestive his expression and tone were at the moment.
After a brief burst of "Wow! Amazing colleagues!" and "I'm so jealous!", the comments started to veer off at the speed of light:
[Wait! Anbao, your expression is not right!]
[Her eyes sparkled, her face flushed, and she couldn't stop talking about Special Assistant Chen...]
[I know this plot! A cool and elite assistant x a sweet and confused secretary!]
[Key points: The sandwich is "convenient", the umbrella is "just right", and the waist support is "the boss doesn't want"... emmm, sisters, taste it carefully! ]
[This isn't just a casual gesture! This is clearly a long-planned act of feeding and care!]
[Special Assistant Chen is definitely interested in you! Anbao! He likes you!!!]
[Ahhhh, I've hit it! The cold-blooded assistant has a crush on the sweet secretary! I can do it!]
[Marry him! Marry him! Special Assistant Brother, go for it!]
The last few comments, like "Special Assistant Brother is definitely interested in you!" and "Marry him!", were accompanied by exaggerated colorful special effects and instantly filled the entire screen, like a grand collective cheer.
Lin Yu'an was stunned as he looked at the exploding barrage pool.
He blinked his big eyes, his long false eyelashes fluttered, his face full of pure confusion and a hint of embarrassment at being teased.
"Huh? What are you talking about! The special assistant is nice, but how could he possibly like me? He's straight! And he's so outstanding, I..."
He tried to explain, but fans were already overwhelmed by the sweet plot they imagined.
The comments were even more frantic, with comments like [He loves it so much!], [Anbao, don’t play dumb!], and [Promise him!]
Lin Yu'an was so embarrassed that his face turned red, and he felt a little amused and helpless. He didn't take it seriously at all. He just thought that the fans were too imaginative. In the end, he could only cover his burning cheeks and change the subject with a smile.

On the other side of the city, the penthouse.
Everything that happens in the "An Xiaomiao" live broadcast room is being clearly broadcast on the huge curved screen.
The warm yellow light, the sparkling eyes of the girl as she rested her chin on her hand, the undisguised admiration and joy when she mentioned "special assistant", and... the glaring [Special Assistant is definitely interested in you!] [Marry him!] filling the screen.
Gu Lin sat in the dark, with only the light from the screen illuminating half of his face, the lines of his face as cold and hard as if they were cut by a knife or an axe.
He held a cup of freshly brewed black coffee in his hand, with wisps of hot steam rising from it.
When Lin Yu'an said in that sickeningly sweet voice, "The special assistant is my workplace idol! My benefactor!", Gu Lin's fingers holding the coffee cup suddenly tightened.
When the colorful "Marry Him!" barrage filled the screen——
“Crack!”
A crisp and sharp shattering sound exploded in the extremely silent space!
He actually broke the handle of the exquisite bone china coffee cup with extremely thin walls!
The scalding black coffee instantly splashed out, soaking his hand and leaving dark stains on his expensive trousers.
A burning sensation came from the palm of my hand, mixed with the bitter smell of coffee.
Gu Lin seemed unaware.
He stared at Lin Yu'an's face on the screen, which was blushing due to the booing of the comments, but also had a bit of innocent and confused look.
And those eye-catching, constantly scrolling barrages.
