Anna's guess was right. With the kitten in the office, the boss spoke to them in a low voice, as if afraid of disturbing the kitten, which was still sleeping.
"Have you found out yet?"
Xie Chen placed the kitten on his lap, his long, beautiful fingers lightly tapping the table, and asked her in a calm and unhurried tone.
"Found it."
Anna stepped forward and said a name: "It's Huang Fang."
"She had worked at the company for many years and was a long-time employee. This time, she wanted to switch jobs, so she took the risk and stole the data to leak to her next employer."
Huang Fang.
Xie Chen was not familiar with the name. He said calmly, "Handle it according to regulations."
"good."
Such betrayal of the company and resulting losses will lead to two consequences: first, she will face legal action; second, her actions will be publicly exposed, and no other company that doesn't want to offend the Xie family will hire her again.
As for the company she switched to, Anna even found out the details—
The other party tricked her.
After listening to Anna's other reports, Xie Chen asked her to bring the documents that needed to be processed, while he held the cat in one arm and flipped through the documents with the other.
The office heating was on full blast.
In unusual circumstances, given the slightly chilly autumn weather, Xie Chen wouldn't turn on the air conditioner too early.
The warmth of the incense made him feel that it was affecting his clarity of mind.
The kitten in his arms had only been shivering in the wind outside, and when they returned to the office, Xie Chen personally turned up the air conditioning temperature.
It was noon.
Bai Li woke up intermittently several times. Every time he woke up, even if Xie Chen was busy, he would immediately put down what he was doing.
"Lili, open your mouth."
As soon as the kitten opened its eyes, Xie Chen quickly fed it a few bites.
Although Bai Li wasn't grumpy when she woke up, she looked dazed and blank.
Xie Chen fed him some food and then handed him some water.
Bai Li shook her head, trying to open her eyes wide.
"Meow."
gentlemen.
Xie Chen lowered his eyes, temporarily putting aside the food and drinks, and scratched his chin.
"I'm here. Lili, are you feeling unwell?"
Bai Li felt languid all over, and apart from not wanting to move, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Xie Chen frowned even more deeply when he couldn't get any information out of Qiu He, who also couldn't find anything during the examination.
Bai Li stretched out her paw, patted the back of his hand, yawned, and meowed, "I want some water."
He felt hot all over, as if all the moisture in his body was being dried out.
On Xie Chen's table, one teacup was brought today for Bai Li, and the other was for Xie Chen himself. After the kitten drank water from his cup, Anna tentatively considered changing it for him.
He didn't change.
Bai Li gulped down half a glass of water, and the heat in her body dissipated a little.
"Meow, meow meow."
He tilted his head back and began asking about work.
"The boss is on holiday."
Xie Chen, without batting an eye, blurted out, "You can rest for the next few days."
Bai Li was a little puzzled: "It's not holiday time yet."
"He gave you a special day off."
Xie Chen was already quite adept at fooling the kitten, and he casually offered a reason: "Because you have performed very well, this is an extra perk."
Given Bai Li's condition today, Xie Chen naturally couldn't let him go to work.
The "vacation" will continue until he recovers his spirits.
Bai Li knew the seafood restaurant owner was a very kind person, but she never expected him to be this kind.
He was naturally happy to have a holiday.
"Meow, meow!"
Lili raised her paws, her beautiful amber eyes reflecting Xie Chen's figure: "I can spend the whole day with you, sir!"
"right."
Xie Chen lowered his head and kissed his head: "Thank you for keeping me company, Lili."
"It's not hard work."
Bai Li made no attempt to hide her feelings: "I enjoy being with you, sir!"
Bai Li, who thought she should stay with her husband, was not awake for long. After being fed for less than twenty minutes, her head lolled to the side and she fell asleep again.
Xie Chen looked at the smiling kitten that had been meowing and chatting with him a second ago, and then closed its eyes the next second, a deep look flashing in its eyes.
Time passed little by little.
Tan Yi and Bai Liu had video calls between them. After seeing the sleeping kitten, Tan Yi didn't think much of it and just assumed that her younger brother was sleepy.
Bai Liu frowned and asked Xie Chen, who was holding his younger brother, "How long has Lili been sleeping?"
"One hour and eight minutes."
Bai Liu thought the sleep duration was normal. He only asked how long the person had slept, but not how many times they had slept like that.
After their brief chat, Xie Chen picked up the chubby kitten in his arms and went to the conference room.
He could have put Bai Li on the bed in the lounge and let him sleep alone.
But the meeting will take a long time, and if Bai Li wakes up in the middle, he probably won't know immediately. To be on the safe side, it's safer to take it with him wherever he goes.
The temperature in the conference room was just right. Xie Chen used a soft blanket to wrap the kitten in and place it on his lap, making him more comfortable.
"boss."
During the meeting, the department heads and others involved deliberately lowered their voices and spoke about work-related matters.
Regarding the spokesperson, someone presented an investment analysis report.
"The talent show on Hunan TV is generating a lot of buzz this time. We can collaborate with them, and the winner can sign an advertising endorsement deal with us for our new products."
Xie Chen glanced at it upon hearing this.
"Need not."
He said calmly, "Let's discuss the endorsements we need to talk about."
The people in the advertising department were taken aback.
"Are you open to negotiating these brand endorsements?"
Tan Yi has already secured one of the high-end luxury brand endorsements from Xie's Group. If they were to grant him another endorsement, it would undoubtedly lead outsiders to believe that Tan Yi is Xie's go-to spokesperson.
This would also lead outsiders to believe that Tan Yi and the Xie family have a close relationship.
“Give it to him.”
Xie Chen repeated it again.
With the Lin family's support, Tan Yi's career is only likely to flourish. His decision to give Tan Yi the endorsement deal is also based on his own considerations.
Xie Chenxia's decision is irreversible.
After the meeting ended, the relevant personnel hurriedly went to continue their work.
Bai Li nestled in Xie Chen's arms, experiencing one fleeting dream after another.
Moreover, the situation in his dream left him feeling only confused.
He remembered that he had never successfully transformed into human form from childhood to adulthood, but in his dream, he had transformed into human form once when he was a child.
He was only seven or eight years old at the time. He didn't look in a mirror when he took human form, so he doesn't know if it looked good or not.
But he thought it should look good.
Because in his dream, he heard another child in front of him say to him—
When I grow up, I'll come find him and marry him.
And then...
His human form was gone.
The top of Monster Mountain was piled with many stones. He lay on one of the stones, gazing longingly down the mountain, as if waiting for something.
Those dreams seemed fleeting and indistinct; it was only at night that Bai Li finally managed to escape all the recurring dreams.
"gentlemen."
It was past ten o'clock at night, and it was pitch black outside. Bai Li, who had just woken up, held Xie Chen's big hand with her paws. Her beautiful amber hands were wet and incredibly clean.
"I've had enough sleep."
The kitten, who had slept all day, was finally wide awake.
Xie Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Don't you want to sleep?"
"In no mood."
Bai Li replied honestly, "I want to play."
Upon hearing this, Xie Chen pondered for a few seconds, then got out of bed to get the cat toy that Uncle Xie had bought. The cat toy was made of feathers and bells, and it made a clear bell sound when shaken.
Bai Li sat on the quilt, and her eyes lit up when she saw the cat toy.
"Meow!"
I want to play!
Xie Chen had watched the videos beforehand and knew that kittens loved playing with cat toys. Uncle Xie had even prepared various styles of cat toys.
Bai Li's front paws were on the bed, while its hind paws were slightly raised, a posture of poised readiness.
Xie Chen found it amusing and waved the cat toy back and forth in front of the kitten.
"Meow!!!"
Bai Li let out a howl and leaped into the air to pounce on it.
The next second—
"Clatter".
After missing her target, Bai Li buried her head in the pile of blankets.
Xie Chen chuckled and picked up the kitten, cooperating with him to continue playing.
After playing for a full half hour, Xie Chen looked at the increasingly energetic kitten and couldn't help but ask, "Lili, how long do you want to play tonight?"
Bai Li tilted her head back and meowed loudly, "I want to play for a very, very long time!"
This has been a long time, really quite a long time.
The feathers on the cat toy were almost completely scratched off by Bai Li's claws, but the little kitten that followed the cat toy didn't stop.
The two, a person and a cat, made a ruckus until midnight.
Bai Li was so tired that she lay sprawled on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
Xie Chen scratched his soft belly and asked, "Have you finished playing?"
Actually, she hadn't had enough fun yet, but Bai Li knew that her master was going to sleep.
He took the opportunity to hug Xie Chen's large hand and meowed, "Go to sleep."
He has to coax his husband to sleep!
With him around, Xie Chen's sleep quality has always been good.
All nightmares and insomnia no longer plagued me.
soon.
The sound of Xie Chen's even breathing filled the room. After Xie Chen fell asleep, Bai Li carefully took the cat toy and left the room.
The villa is very large.
Bai Li, carrying a cat toy in her mouth, didn't want to disturb Uncle Xie and Mr. Xie, so she deliberately walked a long way.
In the courtyard outside, Bai Li played by herself.
After all the feathers on the cat toy were scratched off, Bai Li finished her work and went to keep Xie Chen company.
He didn't know why, but he had a lot of energy at night. It was as if he felt stuffy and uncomfortable inside if he didn't release all that energy.
When daytime came, Bai Li started to doze off again.
Despite dozing off, Bai Li didn't seem to be acting strangely since Xie Chen was holding her.
A few more days passed.
Zhou Zhi's ball was about to begin, and Bai Li had already found the admission tickets well in advance.
"gentlemen!"
Bai Li happily held up her ticket and said to Xie Chen, "Zhou Zhi's dance was especially beautiful!"
Not only is her dancing beautiful, but Zhou Zhi is also a wonderful person.
Bai Li learned a lot of cat dances from her!
Before giving the tickets to Ya Ya, Bai Li was thinking of giving the extra tickets to her brother to see which of them, Sixth Brother or Third Brother, would be willing to go.
But now he only has one ticket left. Sixth Brother is in the lab, Third Brother is busy with various announcements, and none of his brothers are coming. Only he and his husband can go.
Before leaving, Bai Li also asked Xie Chen to pass by Ya Ya's house.
He made a promise with Ya Ya that they would go to the dance together.
Ya Ya was riding in her own car driven by her family's driver. She was wearing a pink dress today, and her already pretty face had been carefully made up, making her look like a little princess.
Xie Chen's car was in front, and Ya Ya's car was behind.
On the bus.
Bai Li then told Xie Chen about Ya Ya's situation again.
Xie Chen didn't say much when he heard this, but afterwards, he recommended a top talent who makes bionic prosthetics to Ya Ya's parents.
Bai Li was unaware of what Xie Chen had done.
At this moment, he was sitting on Xie Chen's lap, whispering and meowing to Xie Chen.
Xie Chen wasn't much of a conversationalist, but he listened attentively to Bai Li's whimsical and unconventional topics, and promptly offered cooperative responses.
After a 20-minute drive, Bai Li finally arrived at her destination.
"Meow, meow meow!"
This place is huge!
As a former queen of the dance world, her comeback is not something she can just do anywhere.
This venue covers an area of 200 square meters and is decorated in a luxurious and aesthetically pleasing style.
Those who can dance here are not ordinary dancers.
When Bai Li entered, she was led backstage by a special guide.
"Miss Zhou said that if a snow-white kitten comes today, please go backstage."
Thanks to Bai Li, Ya Ya got to go backstage.
Xie Chen...
Xie Chen was unable to go.
When Zhou Zhi handed out the tickets, she only gave out two. The people who came to pick up Bai Li naturally followed the rule of giving out two tickets as well.
Bai Li glanced at Ya Ya, then at the gentleman.
It's really hard to choose.
Seeing Xie Chen holding Bai Li, Ya Ya took the initiative to let the two of them go backstage.
But with this refusal, Bai Li was even more unable to make a choice.
Xie Chen didn't care much about the opportunity to go backstage. He only had a casual appreciation for Zhou Zhi and had no interest in meeting her in person backstage.
Finally, Bai Li walked ahead with a clattering sound, and Ya Ya followed him. The two of them, one human and one cat, were led backstage.
Backstage, Zhou Zhi was getting her makeup and hair done.
The space here is large, with a dressing room, a rest room, a dressing room, and even a room for the backup dancers—it has everything.
Seeing Bai Li approach, Zhou Zhi's eyes lit up with a smile.
“Lili”.
She opened her arms to Bai Li: "Come here, let me touch you."
Bai Li ran over in a few steps, and Zhou Zhi patted his head and talked to him.
Ya Ya was so excited to see her favorite goddess up close that her hands were trembling.
Bai Li introduced Ya Ya to Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Zhi felt very sorry for this little girl who loved to dance but had lost her right leg.
"From now on, whenever you want to watch my dances, I'll always save a seat for you," Zhou Zhi promised Ya Ya.
There are many people working behind the scenes.
This ball will feature a solo dance by Zhou Zhi, but there will also be a dance with multiple dancers.
"Lili, Yaya, I'm ready."
Zhou Zhi, having finished her makeup and styling, stood up and showed Bai Li and Ya Ya the look.
After the demonstration, she bent down and suddenly looked at the little kitten that was staring at her without blinking, and whispered something.
"Lili, if you could become a human, I would definitely take you with me to dance on stage."
Bai Li tilted her head and suddenly felt that the sentence was very familiar.
If, if he becomes human...
"Sister, you can go on stage now." Someone came over and hurriedly informed her.
Zhou Zhi lifted her skirt and flew towards the stage like a fluttering butterfly.
Bai Li and Ya Ya were led to sit in the best spot with the best view from below the stage.
We can only go halfway.
Bai Li suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Meow, meow meow."
Ya Ya, you go first.
After Bai Li finished meowing, she turned around and ran forward in a wobbly manner.
Ya Ya was stunned for a moment, and by the time she realized what was happening, the kitten had already disappeared.
“I’m going to find him,” Ya Ya said.
"But the show is about to start, young lady, you go ahead first, I'll help you find it."
