Chapter 2: Happy First Day at Work - Monitoring the Hot Dance.
The sun is shining brightly!
"The flowers are smiling at me!"
"The little bird says good morning~~"
Why are you carrying a... little backpack?
Generally speaking, surveillance cameras only have the function of recording footage.
To ensure the safety of its artists residing in the Pei Group's property, the surveillance system employs both photography and audio recording capabilities.
This resulted in the man in the suit, following the movement of his finger on the monitor, appearing as if he were watching Xie Ruan's "concert" face-to-face, even though he was outside the screen.
The man's face was icy cold, making him look like Xie Ruan performing a ritual dance or an animal courtship dance, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Xie Ruan's voice could only be heard rustling through the huge CEO's office.
The man paused, his long, slender frame catching in the air. His suit accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist, complementing his cool and aloof demeanor.
His narrow, aloof features were once again brought to the screen.
Xie Ruan's voice was very soft on the screen.
The man was wearing headphones, and the volume was turned down very low, but it was still enough to hear Xie Ruan's subtle and casual rhythm.
It was even enough for him to see the little thing that had just been staring at the crack in the ground, as if it were about to shrink into it.
At this moment, in harmony with its own reflection in the windowpane, it swayed its slightly curly, fluffy fur freely, dancing and singing in the air to the rhythm of its fingers and broom.
Xie Ruan in the video seemed to silently express a level of unbridled freedom and ease that a man could never have imagined in his life.
Xie Ruan continued to sing that song, something like "early early early".
Men don't have a childhood.
He has been aloof since childhood.
No friends, no entertainment, no joy.
Besides victory, success, and achievements.
Men don't have much more to do.
Naturally, he couldn't tell from his headphones, which were turned up very low, that Xie Ruan was singing a well-known children's song.
Just like that, staring at the screen, without even realizing it, she stared at Xie Ruan in the villa with a cold expression, her thin, clear lips pressed together in a way that revealed no emotion.
After a long while, a faint thought popped into my mind—
Who is this?
The CEO turned off the monitor sound.
Assistant Li had just returned from the villa to the top floor of the Pei Group building.
After knocking on the door of the CEO's office with the documents in hand and being allowed to enter, he spoke, addressing the man who was staring at the computer screen: "CEO."
The man's name is Pei Zhi, he is 24 years old, the sole heir of the Pei Group, and the owner of the apartment where Xie Ruan lives—or more accurately, the sole occupant.
Three years ago, the Pei Group bought this property for the company's filming needs. After the use ended, the man also granted the right to use it to some of the top artists under its entertainment company.
only.
As it stands now.
No one is using it yet.
This villa is always empty.
Even the man himself wouldn't go.
The man scrutinized the screen, but Assistant Li handed him the documents. "I've already arranged for a live-in nanny to manage that villa at No. 7 Seaview Bay."
The man paused slightly, seemingly lost in thought, his emotions unfathomable.
He glanced at Xie Ruan, who was singing and dancing on the screen, almost imperceptibly, while listening to Assistant Li continue his report.
Assistant Li: "That kid graduated from high school, came from an orphan family, had a clean background, was quite efficient, and was multi-talented. I felt he was capable of doing this job, so I hired him."
Pei's Group has always prioritized providing service positions to people with average education levels who are struggling to make ends meet.
Hearing this, the man nodded.
Such a trivial matter is nothing for the president of the Pei Group to concern him with.
However, as the man signed the relevant work documents, he couldn't help but recall the image of Xie Ruan singing and dancing in his mind.
He paused slightly, then stared directly at Assistant Li with his long, cold eyes, making Assistant Li feel a chill run down his spine. Under the man's intimidation, Assistant Li subconsciously lowered his head.
The man seemed used to this behavior and showed no sign of anything unusual. Occasionally, thinking about the scene in the video, he suddenly spoke up: "Multi-talented?"
It took Assistant Li a while to realize that she was referring to Xie Ruan.
He nodded hastily.
However, he failed to grasp what his boss meant.
After all, his so-called versatility meant that he was proficient in everything from laundry and cooking to cleaning.
Assistant Li never expected that someone as insignificant as a resident of the villa could attract the president's attention.
Assistant Li subconsciously tensed up.
Unexpectedly, the man spoke slowly and deliberately: "The sun shines brightly, the flowers smile at me, is this some kind of exorcism spell?" The man did not hear Xie Ruan's lyrics clearly.
Assistant Li tilted his head: "?"
"The sun... shines brightly..." Assistant Li murmured, then unconsciously began to sing, "The flowers smile at me~~~" The little bird says good morning, good morning, why are you carrying explosives on your back...
No, no, no.
Assistant Li quickly shook his head.
What a sin!
How could he sing something like that?!
He must have been brainwashed by his deskmate when he was a child!
The real question should be why you're carrying a backpack!
Assistant Li shook his head and nodded frantically.
The man looked intently at Assistant Li, his brows furrowed.
How can flowers laugh?
Man: "Our company firmly believes in materialism. Please do not spread content that does not conform to the principles of prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness."
Man: "You should provide values training to your existing employees."
Assistant Li stood there, stunned.
Without thinking, I grabbed the documents and subconsciously walked out the door, and a long time later...
Assistant Li's eyes widened in surprise.
etc?
He didn't sing his own line just now.
What is the CEO criticizing?
Could the CEO have missed out on childhood to the point of never even hearing school songs?
no! !
Assistant Li is clinging to the door!
Mr. President! I'm innocent! The school song is not some idealistic mnemonic, but a proper materialistic song!
He and the new nanny are both decent people!
And what's with the flower-like laughter?!
This is classic personification! My lord!
Assistant Li is innocent!
There's really no need for any more moral and ethical training!
However, no matter how much Assistant Li screamed inwardly, he knew that the president at work was someone he absolutely could not disturb.

Unbeknownst to Assistant Li, Xie Ruan, who had just finished cleaning her room, was sitting on the soft carpet, secretly opening her wardrobe.
If I remember correctly, the original owner was a very good person at making money.
After reaching the legal age of 16, they would go out to work during winter and summer vacations to earn pocket money.
But Xie Ruan didn't care much about those things; he only remembered picking up some unwanted currency during the apocalypse.
Xie Ruan didn't know if she would come with him.
If they come together, Xie Ruan will most likely make a fortune and live a carefree life in this world.
Xie Ruanzi carefully searched through all the boxes in the cabinet.
Sure enough, there were a lot of cards.
Xie Ruan's lips curled up higher and higher as she carefully flipped through the pages, only to discover...
His money really didn't come.
Xie Ruan's soft, fine hair fell down in dejection, her hopes of making a fortune dashed.
The original owner probably wouldn't mind him using his money, right?
In other words, he is the original owner, and the original owner is him. It shouldn't be a problem to use a little bit, right? If it really doesn't work, he can make up for it after he gets paid.
Xie Ruan was a little uneasy. He carefully opened the box and, relying on his memory, checked the balances of Alipay, WeChat, and e-banking, which were commonly used in this era.
But then they discovered—
The wealthy persona I had imagined did not materialize.
? ?
Xie Ruan recalled the plot: the original owner was so frugal, usually only eating steamed buns for a meal, yet in the end, her savings amounted to—
Alipay: 0 yuan.
WeChat: 0.1 yuan.
?
Xie Ruan, refusing to believe it, searched through all of the original owner's bank cards.
Unexpectedly, the original owner's bank card not only lacked the wealth of a one-cent red envelope that could be snatched from a WeChat group, but also had a negative sign added to the base of 0.
Xie Ruan simply opened the box, closed it, checked it...
He successfully discovered that he had taken on a debt of 300,000 yuan in place of the original owner at the start of the story.
In an instant.
Xie Ruan plopped down on the soft carpet.
Staring at the ceiling in despair.
She closed her eyes peacefully.
otherwise……
Let him send it from the end of the world.
I owe 300,000 yuan!
Interest rates are still rising every day!!!
How are we supposed to live like this?!
Xie Ruan couldn't help but lie down on the ground like a salted fish.
After three seconds of self-consolation, I finally managed to sit up.
Don't be afraid.
Xie Ruan is no longer the Xie Ruan she used to be!
He's Xie Ruan now, earning a monthly salary of 100,000!
QUQ!!
What's a mere 300,000?!
As long as you work day and night for three months without eating or drinking!
Even if the employer doesn't come back and he isn't fired!
He can pay it off in just over three months!!!
Life is so beautiful, yet he can't let go of it all. That's not good! Not good!!
Xie Ruan comforted herself.
He sat up and straightened his clothes.
I opened the cabinet and saw hundreds of CDs with the original owner's idol's autographs piled up inside.
And with a closet full of collaboration-branded clothes, I gradually understood—
The original owner spent all her money on chasing after celebrities.
Xie Ruan looked at the cabinet helplessly.
Xie Ruan understands that people have hobbies.
However, he found it hard to agree with the original owner's situation of going into debt to chase after celebrities, even making things difficult for others, persecuting idols, and becoming a sasaeng fan.
But in any case.
Both Xie and Ruan have started anew.
Xie Ruan stood up seriously.
Fortunately, the job included accommodation, so Xie Ruan wasn't too upset.
Xie Ruan took out the food she had prepared from her private nanny's refrigerator.
Unfortunately, this job doesn't include meals.
If I remember correctly, the employer provides the freshest and top-quality ingredients every day.
But even if such ingredients are thrown away, they won't be given to the nanny.
Xie Ruan ate a dry loaf of bread in the staff cafeteria on the first floor.
The fluffy, soft bread left a soft, rounded shape as Xie Ruan bit into it.
Even though Xie Ruan ate the cheapest bread and steamed buns left behind by the original owner.
Even in this world where she transmigrated into a book, she seemed rather poor.
However, Xie Ruan, who endured hunger and even starved to death in the end times, was quite content.
He thought this was the best food in the world, a million times better than moldy bread or steamed buns, or damp food dripping with some unknown liquid.
Xie Ruan's long-standing habit of fighting for food led him to habitually eat large mouthfuls of bread, stuffing both sides of his mouth full.
He was as insecure as a little hamster, as if everything only belonged to him once it entered his body.
Xie Ruan was holding the most ordinary butter bread. Although some parts of the bread were still soft and others were crispy and dry, and would crumble wildly with every bite, Xie Ruan was still very happy.
Xie Ruan couldn't help but chew quickly with a satisfied look in her eyes, her gaze slightly narrowed.
He let out a soft, contented hum, and carefully stuffed the whole bread into his mouth, chewing it slowly.
Completely unaware of his own unrestrained behavior.
Once again, the CEO caught her eye as he accidentally opened the surveillance camera.
*
The man in the office frowned slightly: "..."
The placement of this camera's function is really unreasonable.
The man subconsciously adjusted the camera entrance while working.
But when I looked up, I saw someone eating bread—
Xie Ruan.
...
Assistant Li came in to report again.
After a long time, Assistant Li, however, did not receive a reply from his boss, which was extremely rare.
Assistant Li was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and stared at the president.
But they found the man staring intently at something on the screen.
Even if Assistant Li was very curious, he couldn't very well go over and take a look.
I could only tentatively ask, "President..." about this plan...
Before Assistant Li could finish speaking, the man coldly looked up and met his gaze.
Assistant Li's brain seemed to freeze; he had a strange feeling of unease: "?"
The president suddenly spoke up: "Are the nannies at Pei Group treated this badly?"
?
Difference? ?
Assistant Li: "Our compensation package includes a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan, plus five social insurances and one housing fund..."
The CEO's indifferent gaze swept across the screen.
It's either because the pay is bad or they're experiencing financial difficulties.
The man said calmly, "Then let's pay the new nanny a month's salary in advance."
?
Assistant Li was completely bewildered: When did his CEO start caring about people?
Paying a month's salary in advance! ??
He doesn't even get this kind of treatment!!
*
Assistant Li was almost completely bewildered when he went to deliver the benefits.
It's inconvenient for Assistant Li to go to the villa again.
This resulted in Xie Ruan receiving the new benefit notification on her mobile phone.
Xie Ruan never expected that she would actually receive such a helpful gift when she was sleepy.
We were short of money just a few minutes ago.
Now the boss is actually willing to give him a month's salary in advance.
He even said that he would provide staff meals after today?
He could even freely dispose of the leftover food in the villa after midnight.
Oh my god.
The king crabs in the refrigerator were delivered fresh and alive!
Xie Ruan had no idea what this high-end ingredient was, which only existed in books that others didn't want.
However, Xie Ruan could read, and he recognized the three characters for "king crab" written on the box containing the king crab.
Therefore, Xie Ruan guessed that this was the expensive food described in the book.
So as long as the employer doesn't come back?
Does that mean he can eat these high-end ingredients?
Oh my god!
If I remember correctly, those employers in the book never came until the original owner died!
Then he could eat that every day!
Xie Ruan felt like she was dreaming.
He is simply one of the happiest people in the world!
Even when a sudden gale raged outside, Xie Ruan felt that being able to enjoy the storm alone in this huge villa was a wonderful thing.
Xie Ruan wished she could live out her life like this forever.
However, Xie Ruan was unaware that while he was trying to figure out how to cook the legendary hairy crab and king crab, delicacies he had never tasted before...
He never expected this.
It was also intercepted by the "wonderful" storm.
Those who were unable to leave the city.
There's one more.
