Nanzhi didn't actually go to rest; she was worried about Xiaobei and went to the cat shelter to look for it.
Xiao Bei had already been washed and smelled wonderful. She picked up Xiao Bei, intending to take it with her to complete its mission.
She was already ostensibly resting, so she didn't dare to go forward. She put Xiao Bei down and let it approach the president on its own.
Unexpectedly, the president was criticizing Chen Xi.
"She got away again. What use are you to me if you can't even keep an eye on a woman?"
The president's anger was like the wrath of thunder.
All the servants were so frightened that they dared not move. Chen Xi, in particular, was like a grandson, with his head down and not daring to speak.
The CEO was pinching his brow, furious.
Nan Zhi thought Xiao Bei was so cute that it might be able to calm the CEO's anger, so she patted Xiao Bei and called it over.
Little Bei appeared before the president, meowing softly.
Before it could even unleash its full potential, it was caught off guard by the president's murderous gaze.
Who released it?
Beckham was so frightened by that look that he almost exploded.
Nanzhi rushed over and picked up Xiaobei.
"President, it's me."
"Wang Ma, it seems you're not tired enough." The president's eyes were full of disappointment. "Go to the study and organize the books. I'll come to check on you in a bit."
Nanzhi was about to leave, holding the cat.
"Put that cat back in the cattery. No one is allowed to let it out without my permission."
The man and the cat left dejectedly.
The CEO's mood not only wasn't good, it got even worse.
When the president got angry, all the servants suffered.
Chen Xi was punished by being made to sweep the floor.
Xie Huaiwei was punished by having to clean the hall where the president was holding a banquet.
Lin Yi was punished by being made to water the flowers with Cao Yao.
Shen Yu received the lightest punishment: she was made to remove the seeds from strawberries.
The cat was picked up by a robot and taken back to the cat shelter halfway there.
Nan Zhi arrived at the study and looked at the already clean and tidy bookshelves. She wondered what kind of state the president wanted to make in the study by punishing her by sending her here.
She pretended to tidy up, opening the books and wiping away dust that wasn't even there.
The CEO arrived quickly.
He didn't say anything, but simply sat down at his desk and tapped the table with his long, slender fingers.
Nanzhi quickly ran over.
"President, what are your orders?"
The president glanced at the teapot.
Nanzhi understood and quickly boiled water to make tea.
But because she hadn't learned how, her movements were very awkward; she didn't even wash the tea before serving it to him.
The president frowned as he looked at the tea being handed to him and asked, "Wang Ma, have you forgotten all the steps for making tea?"
Nanzhi was a little confused and didn't dare to answer.
The president stood up, walked to her side, and said, "I'll only teach you once."
He suddenly took her hand and led her to warm the cups and utensils, add tea leaves, brew the tea, skim off the foam, and stir to release the aroma...
But Nanzhi couldn't concentrate on making tea.
Her fingers, held by him, felt like they were on fire, burning hot and uncomfortable. The warm body pressed against her back made her even more disoriented.
Some time later, the CEO released her.
"Have you learned it?"
Nanzhi lowered her head, nodded, and then shook her head.
"President, I'm a bit slow-witted. Could you let me go down and learn some more?"
The president agreed, and she wanted to leave, but then she heard him say, "You can learn later. Come with me to the garden first."
Cao Yao was very pleased when she heard that Lin Yi wanted to water the flowers with her.
Looking at Lin Yi's handsome face, she couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Lin Yi, Xue Xuan was left on the train. Were you worried about her?"
Mentioning Ling Xuexuan reminded Lin Yi of the time she was abducted by the passengers.
Although he had confirmed that Nan Zhi was Yi He, he also guessed that Ling Xuexuan was not as kind as she appeared.
But after all, they had been together for so many years, and for a moment, he did think about saving her.
But he also knew that if he saved her, there was a high chance that he would be captured along with her.
Right now, if Cao Yao asks him, he can't possibly show his ruthlessness.
"I was worried."
Cao Yao was visibly happy and asked, "If Xuexuan were still alive, and she and Nanzhi went back to the real world together, would you marry her or Nanzhi?"
Lin Yi fell silent, thinking of Nan Zhi's attitude towards him.
Cao Yao thought he still wanted to marry Xue Xuan, and excitedly said, "Actually, you and Xue Xuan are the perfect match. Xue Xuan is so beautiful, and Nan Zhi is so ugly. She is not good enough for you."
Lin Yi said angrily, "Cao Yao, you're not allowed to speak ill of her!"
Even as he was angry, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of Nan Zhi.
Indeed, Nanzhi's appearance cannot compare to Xuexuan's.
It's okay, he doesn't mind her.
Cao Yao continued to urge, "But I'm telling the truth. When you and Xuexuan were together before, you were such a perfect match. Every time you went out, everyone praised you as the golden couple."
"Nanzhi is just a country girl. She can't do anything. Do you want everyone to laugh at you for marrying a bumpkin?"
Lin Yi was speechless.
Cao Yao approached him and said, "Lin Yi, I know you two are childhood sweethearts, but you don't owe her anything. If you really want to make amends, just give her more money when you get back."
Lin Yi lowered her eyelashes, clearly hesitant.
“Actually, I am…” Cao Yao was about to say something when she caught sight of Nan Zhi out of the corner of her eye.
She suddenly cried out and swayed to the side.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yi helped her up.
Cao Yao said pitifully, "I've been so tired these past two days, my feet hurt."
"Let me help you to the side to rest for a bit."
Lin Yi maintained impeccable manners throughout, and even though he knew Cao Yao was of questionable character, he still helped her to sit down beside him.
