Chapter 9 Happy to be at work for nine days and getting a big shot throwing money at me.
?
? ?
? ? ?
Wait.
Xie Ruan stood there, completely stunned, like a wooden statue.
This! This! !
This, this is definitely not right!!
Xie Ruan stared blankly at the items that Zhou Jingchi had already ordered on the screen.
...
They fell into complete silence.
Xie Ruan was unable to move; his mind seemed to be under control.
Not only did he lose consciousness, but he also subconsciously stood still in the same spot.
And they watched helplessly as Zhou Jingchi readily typed on the keyboard.
Then, without even blinking, he canceled the coupon...
I paid 260,000.
? ?
Something's not right, is it?
Who spends money like that??
And it's still just buying underwear.
Buy the pink one.
Xie Ruan had no idea that she had just ordered this kind of thing.
If Xie Ruan knew, he would never have bought ten items.
Xie Ruan completely broke down.
How could he let his employer buy him underwear?
How will he ever face Zhou Jingchi again?!
Xie Ruan's expression instantly changed to red, white, green, yellow, purple, black...
He couldn't take it anymore!
I can't take it anymore!!!
Xie Ruan was still thinking of how to phrase it, intending to have Zhou Jingchi reject the exorbitantly priced goods.
Zhou Jingchi then struck a cool pose with his index finger on his chin, as if he were studying a product.
I spent half a day studying it.
He then spoke seriously to Xie Ruan: "You..."
Zhou Jingchi glanced at Xie Ruan.
Xie Ruan instinctively wanted to find a cabinet to crawl into.
Will he be thought of as some kind of pervert?
Xie Ruan looked at Zhou Jingchi cautiously.
Zhou Jingchi subconsciously curled the corners of his mouth into a kind smile, connecting Xie Ruan's short stature with her somewhat cute appearance: "So you like pink."
No, that's not it.
He's the type who wears blue shorts!!!
Xie Ruan's cheeks flushed red.
He almost blurted it out, but the moment his mouth opened slightly, he instantly shut it up.
How could he possibly be tricked into saying such an embarrassing thing?!
Xie Ruan became completely withdrawn.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingchi was a staunchly straightforward man. Not only did he completely fail to understand Xie Ruan's thoughts, but he also chuckled like an older brother taking care of his younger brother, "So you're really lacking in this."
Xie Ruan: No, no, no!!
Xie Ruan screamed inwardly, but due to her social anxiety, she instinctively shut her mouth when she looked up at Zhou Jingchi.
QAQ.
Xie Ruan couldn't speak.
The little tuft of hair on his head seemed to change with his emotions.
From a sudden explosion, it drooped timidly.
He couldn't say it.
How is he supposed to tell his employer that he doesn't need underwear?!
But saying it like that makes him sound like an exhibitionist who doesn't wear underwear.
Ugh, but if I don't say it, my employer will buy me a whole bunch of underwear.
I can't take it anymore.
I can't take it anymore.
He can't stand Earth anymore.
Goodbye, Mother Earth, tonight he will embark on a long voyage.
Xie Ruan was still trying to comfort herself.
He closed his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering, while his mind raced through the plot of the original book.
In the original book, Zhou Jingchi never returned.
I brought my dog back with me this time.
Xie Ruan thought about the plot in the original book where no one was willing to adopt Zhou Jingchi's dog, and suddenly realized that Zhou Jingchi probably had no choice but to be recommended by someone.
And the only person who could influence the plot development, Xie Ruan thought, was probably the movie star who had just left today—Wen Hezhou.
Xie Ruan felt a chill run down her spine instinctively.
Is it because he and Wen Hezhou interacted too much that the plot changed so much?
So, if he simply reduces his interactions, can things return to normal after this change? And then, like in the original story, the employers won't come back, allowing him to easily slack off in this villa?
Xie Ruan nodded after thinking about this.
To everyone's surprise, just as he nodded, Zhou Jingchi's dog, which had been silent for a long time, barked.
The adorable chirping made Xie Ruan, who was initially anxious, feel much better, and she patted the general's head.
The air has become much calmer.
Xie Ruan felt much better.
Xie Ruan curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingchi showed no intention of moving on: "If you like pink, I'll buy you some every month from now on."
Xie Ruan felt a lump in her throat. Despite her social anxiety, she couldn't help but force herself to speak in a low, almost inaudible voice, "No, no, there's no need for that."
Between people.
It's still important to have boundaries.
Xie Ruan seemed to have encountered a virus named Zhou Jingchi, and took a step towards the door.
He really didn't understand what Zhou Jingchi meant by saying that fifty pairs of underwear weren't enough and that he would have to buy more every month. Did he think that a pair of underwear worth five thousand yuan was meant to be worn only once?
Xie Ruan couldn't understand the wealthy, but was greatly shocked.
He could only stand there like a rattle-drum, watching Zhou Jingchi and desperately refusing.
For items that don't need to be bought by others, the risk of the employer returning increases.
Or simply give up things that don't need to be bought by others, reduce the risk of the employer returning, and happily slack off.
Xie Ruan made the right choice!
Xie Ruan took another step back.
Zhou Jingchi was still browsing the app, saying, "Do you really like pink? Don't you like other colors?"
Ahhhhhhh—
No! No!! He really doesn't wear pink underwear!!!
Xie Ruan is about to collapse.
Stop talking!!
Stop talking about underwear!!!
Xie Ruan instinctively ran out the door.
Zhou Jingchi also tried to take a look.
But Xie Ruan ran as fast as a rabbit and disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Jingchi found it somewhat amusing and raised an eyebrow slightly.
It wasn't until Zhou Jingchi tried to chase after Xie Ruan for a few steps and realized he couldn't find her at all that he finally did.
Zhou Jingchi then silently returned to his room.
*
Zhou Jingchi picked up the tablet on the table out of boredom.
This was the first time Zhou Jingchi had used a tablet from within the Pei Group.
Zhou Jingchi fiddled with it for a while out of boredom before discovering that the tablet's internal system was quite sophisticated.
Generally speaking, in the villa, Zhou Jingchi prefers to use a bell or pager to call the servants.
However, the Pei Group is different. To ensure its artists get adequate rest, the Pei Group invested heavily in building its own internal system and software, which was installed on its own...
On the tablet.
This means that employers can simply contact their domestic helpers through internal software and instruct them to do things for them anytime, anywhere.
This avoids the leakage of private contact information or the troublesome issue of explanation.
Zhou Jingchi was not interested in this thing at all, but after Xie Ruan appeared in his mind, he subconsciously opened the servant list, scrolled down, and found Xie Ruan's name below Assistant Li.
Zhou Jingchi didn't actually know that Xie Ruan's real name was Xie Ruan.
However, for convenience, the tablet system required all employees to change their profile pictures to personal photos, so Zhou Jingchi quickly found Xie Ruan, who was particularly cute and pretty, among a large group of servants.
Why does even the profile picture make someone look so young?
Zhou Jingchi is not old, and among all the people he has met, apart from his younger brother, he has always been the youngest ancestor.
Now there's one that looks even smaller.
Zhou Jingchi's lips inexplicably curled up slightly.
And just like that, inexplicably, I found myself laughing for a long time while looking at the tablet.
Then Xie Ruan's portrait was enlarged.
Xie Ruan's head was bowed low in the portrait, and her eyes were still not clearly visible.
But strangely enough, it doesn't make people feel disgusted. On the contrary, it's this sense of mystery that brings a kind of adorable desire to explore, making people want to magnify it even more.
A faint chuckle escaped his lips.
He said, "It's kind of cute."
Xie Ruan.
Xie Ruan.
Even the name sounds soft and gentle.
Zhou Jingchi inexplicably retracted his hand, his hand subconsciously curling up slightly, and his gaze shifted away.
For some reason, the sensation of touching Xie Ruan's hair just now seemed to linger in my palm.
Soft and gentle.
It's soft.
It's the same as his name.
So cute.
Zhou Jingchi stared at his palm, somewhat dazed.
He remained in a daze for a long time.
I let the strange feeling in my heart flow for a while.
Only then did I vaguely shift my gaze back to the screen.
Shake your head to shake off the unclear emotions.
I jokingly typed a message and sent it to Xie Ruan without thinking.
[Zhou Jingchi]: Why did you run away?
Zhou Jingchi awaited Xie Ruan's reply.
As a professional nanny, Xie Ruan would certainly not ignore her employer.
After all, the employer is God, his provider.
However, Zhou Jingchi's content was too unpredictable.
Xie Ruan wasn't very good at chatting, although online chatting could alleviate that to a great extent.
But Xie Ruan was still too easily insecure. So she typed out a line of small characters word by word, and then checked it repeatedly as if she was afraid of making a mistake.
Xie Ruan: [I didn't mean to.]
Xie Ruan subconsciously typed a line of text. After reading it over several times, Xie Ruan felt that she should have sent such a message, but at the same time, she felt that the message was too emotional. She subconsciously deleted it, changed it to something else, and typed it into the chat box.
Xie Ruan: [TT]
Sending only this emoji might anger the employer, right?
Xie Ruan buried herself in thought, carefully considering the matter.
Xie Ruan thought that although Zhou Jingchi had a good temper, it was hard to say whether he was already angry when he saw him run away.
If Zhou Jingchi received such a brief reply while he was still angry, he would probably be even angrier and take his anger out on him.
The more Xie Ruan thought about it, the more uncertain she became about Zhou Jingchi's emotions, and the more uneasy she felt.
I frantically pondered the words, typing out more than ten sentences in three or four minutes, but I still couldn't send them.
QAQ.
Xie Ruan was in a complete mess.
Little did Zhou Jingchi know that Xie Ruan was not considering the wording at all.
Zhou Jingchi, on the contrary, thought that Xie Ruan seemed to be angry again.
Zhou Jingchi scratched his head, completely bewildered.
I posted the message with some self-reproach—
[Accepting the red envelope: Forgive me]
Xie Ruan didn't want to accept it at first, but she was used to grabbing things in the Pei Group's work group.
I accidentally developed a conditioned reflex and clicked on anything red.
I never expected that this would happen.
Xie Ruan was stunned by the shocking figure of 88,888 yuan.
?
How many?
His employer gave him 88,888 yuan??
What does this mean?
It's important to know that nannies under the Pei Group are allowed to accept tips from their employers.
The development team studied this project when setting up the system.
Therefore, the 88,888 yuan that Xie Ruan received from Zhou Jingchi was quickly stored in his system wallet.
Xie Ruan is free to use this money. She can choose to exchange it along with her salary, or she can apply to have it deposited into her account now.
Funds arrive in a second.
But this amount of money is too large.
Would it be better to push it back?
Xie Ruan was caught in a dilemma.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingchi, seeing Xie Ruan rarely paying attention to him, acted as if he had discovered a new continent, sending her another red envelope to try and woo her—
[If you're really not angry, click on this red envelope.]
Xie and Ruan are still embroiled in internal strife; they have no awareness of the situation.
He reflexively opened the red envelope again.
Xie Ruan thought, "It was 88,888 yuan just now, so this time it'll only be 1 or 2 yuan, right?"
Who would have thought the young master would be so generous?
And just like that, another red envelope of 88,888 yuan was sent to Xie Ruan's system red envelope.
Xie Ruan was dazzled by the red envelopes from the wealthy people.
Xie Ruan stood there, completely stunned.
He even wondered if this was some kind of fraudulent interface, otherwise why did the money here look so much like game currency?
Zhou Jingchi sent it without even blinking.
Do rich people treat everyone like this on a daily basis?
Xie Ruan's fingers were clenched, and she had completely forgotten how to speak.
Xie Ruan has forgotten how to type.
Then the young master zoomed in on his profile picture, as if using a microscope, and spotted the cracked phone screen that occasionally peeked out from within. He then sent a message—
[Zhou Jingchi]: I see you've been using your phone for quite a while.
...
It doesn't matter if Xie Ruan is insulted.
After all, the original owner spent all her salary, and even took out loans, on her idol in order to chase after him.
Therefore, it is normal for a phone to remain unchanged for five or six years, even if it leaks liquid, shows red lines, or has a cracked screen.
Xie Ruan had no material desires.
He felt he could hold on a little longer.
Xie Ruan had just finished comforting herself.
Then the doorbell rang once.
Xie Ruan opened the door and was surprised to receive a package delivered by drone.
Xie Ruan was still confused by the fact that the recipient was herself when she saw another message sent by Zhou Jingchi on her tablet.
[Zhou Jingchi]: [Red Envelope: I've seen your phone for a while now, and since I didn't know which one was good, I bought you the same model as mine.]
Xie Ruan subconsciously clicked on the red envelope.
...
It's 88,888 yuan again.
Xie Ruan opened the package.
What I saw was exactly...
Xie Ruan once saw it.
Expensive.
Exorbitant price.
Worth over 20,000.
The latest mobile phone model.
