famous
In the end, Si Cheng, with a dark expression, ordered his men to drag away Qu Shiyao's basket of fresh seafood and mix it into the pile of seafood purchased that day, putting it all on the grill.
Qu Shiyao also successfully made a name for herself on the 66th floor by doing everything she could.
Miss Haidilao!
After all, a woman who dares to go into the sea alone in a diving suit, spend hours fishing, and bring back a basket of seafood is probably one of a kind in the entire company.
As night fell, several bonfires were lit on the beach, crackling and popping.
People gathered in small groups of two or three around the campfire, with a chef in charge of grilling the food.
Qu Shiyao and her six assistants from the assistant's office naturally gathered together as well.
Coincidentally, the chef assigned to their group was grilling the very same batch of organic seafood that Qu Shiyao had brought back.
"Wow! Shiyao! You actually got me all this!" Jin Yuxi excitedly picked through the pile of prepared seafood.
She picked up a huge crab, smacked her lips, and muttered with a hint of regret, "What a pity, no lobster..."
Qu Shiyao snatched the crab from her hand and shoved it at the chef next to her: "What are you thinking about? Should I pack you up and throw you into the sea to catch you right now?"
"So...you really went down there all by yourself for that long?" Lin Weiwei held up a skewer of sizzling, oily octopus, her face filled with disbelief.
She knew that Qu Shiyao would have a crazy episode once or twice a day, but she never expected it to be this crazy.
Without professional equipment or safety personnel, are you just going to spend hours in an unfamiliar sea area?
"Hmm!" Qu Shiyao tossed her bangs with a flourish, tilting her chin slightly. "Are you captivated by my heroic bearing and starting to admire me?"
Lin Weiwei rolled her eyes at her and snorted coldly.
Sure enough, even if someone you dislike does something that's slightly less dislike, they're still disliked!
"Shiyao, I'm so glad you're alright..." Sun Mei interjected softly, her voice tinged with relief and lingering fear, "Otherwise... President Si would have had to personally go to sea to find you..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Weiwei and Zhang Li both paused, their hands still holding the skewers of grilled meat, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Today, Mr. Si's overly concerned attitude towards Qu Shiyao did make them feel a little uncomfortable.
"Absolutely!" Qu Shiyao scoffed, her voice extremely low. She glanced around to make sure Si Cheng wasn't nearby before continuing her rant.
"Without us, Mr. Si can't even take care of himself! Think about it, cleaning, buying breakfast, fetching documents... we did every single thing together!"
She paused, lowered her voice even further, and concluded in a tone of profound understanding, "I suspect he's just a giant baby in life!"
"Heh, is that so?" Sun Mei's face visibly darkened, and her tone became harsher than ever before.
"But you can't deny that President Si is better than most men, right?"
Qu Shiyao patted her shoulder and casually posed a question:
"Then tell me specifically, besides his face, his money, and his barely passable work ability, what other commendable qualities does he have?"
“I…” Sun Mei opened her mouth, her mind racing, but like a stuck cassette tape, she couldn’t utter a single word for a long time.
Face, money, ability...aren't those enough?
"Aren't these three things good enough?" Jin Yuxi mumbled, gnawing on a crab leg beside him.
"These three combined already beat 99% of men in the country, okay!"
Qu Shiyao shook her head with a smile and slowly took a sip of juice: "As a boss, these are barely considered pluses. But as a boyfriend, or even a husband?"
Her gaze swept over Lin Weiwei and Zhang Li.
“Everyone has different ideas. However, some people think that as long as the man is rich, it doesn’t matter whether he is unfaithful or not, as long as he has enough money.”
"This could be considered a kind of... uh, value orientation? At least, Mr. Si's own characteristics generally attract this type of person."
Lin Weiwei and Zhang Li didn't say anything throughout, but they agreed with what Qu Shiyao said. After all, they were there for profit, and who doesn't want to be rich?
They aren't the kind of women who would give up everything for true love. Isn't that what they're after when they get close to Si Cheng?
Qu Shiyao's words were tantamount to telling them in broad daylight: I have no interest in this piece of cured meat, you can do whatever you want.
Sun Mei felt that this was just Qu Shiyao's sophistry and fallacy!
She's already hooking up with another man, yet she's still clinging to President Si. What's with the act of being so high and mighty!
Hypocritical! Disgusting!
Qu Shiyao certainly didn't expect a single sentence to awaken the toxic fans.
Her goal, from beginning to end, was simply to make Lin Weiwei and Zhang Li understand that she was not their competitor, and to reduce their exposure to Sun Mei's provocations.
What should have been a relaxed and enjoyable bonfire barbecue ended abruptly amidst the atmosphere of hidden agendas and undercurrents.
It was late at night.
In room 204, Jin Yuxi was fast asleep, snoring rhythmically.
Qu Shiyao lay on the bed, one hand behind her head, the other swiping the screen of the system's backend.
The novel's data is displayed on the screen:
Actual number of followers: 8655;
Overall rating: 8.9.
【Host! Did you see that! 8655!】The system's smug voice rang in my mind, its face practically screaming: Praise me! Praise me!
[I've thoroughly researched their peak traffic times and push your content precisely at those moments every day! At a normal pace, you'd be lucky to get 7,000 followers by now! This is all thanks to me!]
Qu Shiyao readily agreed, her tone exaggerated, as she smoothed out the mess in the system:
"Oh dear! I am so grateful to our wise and all-powerful system! Without you, what would I, your host, do? I would be dead in no time!"
The system was so flattered that it was practically wagging its tail in the air: 【That's only natural…】
The next second, Qu Shiyao's tone shifted, and she threatened in a sinister tone:
"However, Tongzi, you're still over a thousand followers short of ten thousand~ How many days do you have left? What if you haven't reached that number by then..."
She deliberately drew out her words, gesturing with her hand on the system's neck (not really), "Watch out, or your head might get in trouble!"
System: [...] Your smugness won't last three seconds! That's outrageous! Host, could you be any more arrogant?!
The system indignantly lamented in its mind, "I can't say this to my host. If I really did, I'm afraid my head will really be gone in the next second."
[Then... host...]
The system listlessly changed the subject: "What are you planning to do tomorrow night?"
It had a bad feeling.
"What else can we do?" Qu Shiyao stared blankly at the ceiling, seemingly pondering the hardness and stress points of some substance.
"Of course, I used the one-time permission to modify a small part of the outline. I'm planning to see how the outline will go after the changes."
She pulled up the plot outline in the system interface. There weren't many clues, but it was indeed getting close to the plot of tormenting work during the day and tormenting sex at night.
There must be a major turning point before you get there, otherwise how easy would it be to get there?
After their permissions are upgraded to level 2, you can learn from the following three chapters that tomorrow night will be the turning point.
【so……】
The system asked cautiously, with a hint of pity: "Are you really planning to use that brick to hit President Si... on the back of the head?"
It recalled General Manager Si's "glorious achievements":
The story begins with the host smashing a bottle over someone's head in a bar. Afterwards, the host discovers that the host is a new employee and not only doesn't call the police, but also promotes the employee to the 66th floor!
Later, he was put in a urea bag and beaten up. Since he didn't know who did it and seemed to care a lot about his reputation, he tolerated it and didn't investigate further.
Now, they also have to face the carefully selected brick—the host…
Overall, the original male protagonist's mental fortitude and endurance are truly extraordinary!
"Otherwise what?" Qu Shiyao traced the plot of tomorrow's story with her fingers, raising an eyebrow as she asked:
"Do you think that every time your host, me, has spent a huge sum of money to buy weapons, have they not been used to their fullest potential and put to practical use?"
System: [...] It was unable to refute this.
The urea bag that had been used by General Manager Si is solid evidence, although it didn't cost much money and wasn't a huge sum.
[By the way!] The system is still puzzled by Sun Mei's sudden attack at tonight's bonfire party.
What's wrong with Sun Mei today? Wasn't she quite interested in Yi Yu a few days ago? Why is she suddenly switching her attention to President Si tonight? And is she targeting you?
Qu Shiyao yawned, her tone somewhat nonchalant: "There's nothing strange about it. A toxic fan is a toxic fan; her goal has never changed."
"The previous probing of Yi Yu was probably an attempt to use him against me, to push me to Yi Yu so that I could stay away from President Si."
"When they find that this tactic doesn't work, or when they think that there's no chance with Yi Yu, they naturally go back to their old ways and continue to keep an eye on me."
Qu Shiyao wasn't very interested in this wolf hiding in a corner, disguised as a white rabbit.
Aside from occasionally trying to influence others, it hasn't shown its true colors yet, and we don't know what role it will play later.
She turned over and closed her eyes.
"Go to sleep. Tomorrow I'll see if the domineering CEO dares to make a move against me."
Room 206.
Sun Mei tossed and turned in bed, disturbing Zhang Li on the other bed, who stared at Sun Mei with wide eyes.
"Sun Mei, if you don't want to sleep, then don't sleep. Why don't you just go run a few laps downstairs?" Her tone was full of resentment, and anyone would be angry if their sleep was disturbed.
Unlike her previous enthusiastic attitude towards everyone, Zhang Li has finally figured out what kind of fox Sun Mei is these past few days.
Since we're all rivals in love, there's no need to treat each other warmly.
The blanket on the bed stiffened, and soon breathing sounds could be heard from the other side, as if they had fallen asleep.
Zhang Li didn't want to talk to her much after the bonfire party. Competition should be fair and square, there's no reason to hide it.
Is she planning to be the one to suffer the consequences? That depends on whether she and Lin Weiwei allow it.
