In order to become Bai Yueguang's substitute
Before Special Assistant Liu could react, Guan Shanyue was already sitting in the president's office in one piece.
Mr. Shao, the "young and promising" man, sat across from me on the sofa, his legs crossed. "Mr. Zhou, I have something I want to ask you."
Zhou Fu's head was sweating as he said this, and his back bent even lower. "It's not really a question of asking for advice, Mr. Shao, just ask whatever you want to know. I will answer everything I know."
Shao Zizhuo smiled faintly and began to chat about the order with his "senior" Zhou Fu in a hurry, without looking at Guan Shanyue.
According to Guan Shanyue's understanding, such a small matter should have been tendered by the marketing department, but during the conversation, he vaguely heard that Shao Zizhuo wanted to expand the company's high-end line and wanted to personally understand the current market conditions. The reason why Zhou Fu was able to get close to Shao was because Kangda was considered the leader of a node in the high-end line industry chain.
It seemed as if everything Shao Zizhuo asked was about extremely confidential matters. Zhou Fu held a piece of paper in his hand and would wipe his forehead from time to time. By the time he had wiped, a layer of crust had formed on the paper.
It was not something Guan Shanyue cared about, nor was there room for her to contribute. After listening for a while, she began to lose focus and look around.
Aside from the large, floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, which mirrored the one in the TV series, the CEO's office was otherwise quite simple, dominated by off-white tones, with a few pots of greenery scattered here and there. The semicircular desk was neatly arranged, but without much activity, anyone else wouldn't feel out of place.
Boring.
She quietly cast her eyes on Shao Zizhuo again.
According to her reading experience, this guy should be a handsome but cruel and unscrupulous kid from a business family. He is very capable but will scold his subordinates, "Get out if you can't do it." He is arrogant and never understands that there are always people better than you. He always acts like he is the best in the world, and when it comes to love, there are only four words - "pretending to be affectionate."
Now that he was in front of her, Guan Shanyue had to admit that Shao Zizhuo was indeed handsome. Among all the people she had met since she was a child, including the celebrities in the entertainment industry, he could be ranked in the top three.
But now, he was wearing a well-ironed suit, half leaning on the sofa, holding a document in his hand, reading while listening to Zhou Fu talking, and asking a few questions from time to time, which made Zhou Fu wipe his sweat with paper.
This is similar to what is shown in the books, where the superiors do not understand emotions.
It's not that I misunderstand his character or have any prejudice against him, he's just not likable. Oh, I thought there would be something different! Guan Shanyue curled his lips regretfully, averted his gaze, and completely ignored the system's requirements.
Just as she was in a daze, Zhou Fu hit her with his crutch and whispered with a grin, "Speak!"
Guan Shanyue slowly turned her head, met Shao Zizhuo's cold eyes, and smiled awkwardly. She didn't hear anything he said, and was busy speaking ill of Shao Zizhuo in her heart!
Zhou Fu was so angry that he wanted to stamp his feet, but he smiled and said, "Boss Shao, don't bother with her because she is ignorant, but this girl knows a lot about our industry. Boss Shao, why don't you keep her in the company to learn from you for a while? You can ask her anything you want to know."
"No need." Shao Zizhuo stood up and walked directly to his overly neat desk. He tapped the tablet on the desk a few times, and the office door opened. Special Assistant Liu flashed in, glanced at Guan Shanyue, his pupils constricted, and tried to keep his voice calm, "Please come this way, both of you."
Zhou Fu was unwilling to give up, but seeing Shao Zizhuo's cold and distant attitude, he gritted his teeth and gave up. His face was full of frustration, but he had to force a smile: "See you next time, Mr. Shao."
Guan Shanyue nodded politely and followed Zhou Fu away.
Suddenly, a system voice accompanied by an electric current appeared: "Please maintain your character setting and activate the current plot point."
The current was not large, but Guan Shanyue was once bitten by a snake and became afraid of ropes for ten years.
Suddenly, she tried to find a loophole and bargained with the system: "You ask me to accept the male protagonist's invitation and become Bai Yueguang's substitute, but his attitude towards me is so cold, how can I rush to do it? I want to be Bai Yueguang's substitute, but he may not be willing."
The system was as indifferent as Shao Zizhuo: "You need to work hard to trigger the plot." Then, the current increased a little.
Guan Shan Yueya was about to bite her to pieces. She paused and turned to Shao Zizhuo, tears welling up in her eyes. The fragile porcelain that had just been repaired showed cracks again. She tilted her head at a 45-degree angle to prevent the tears from falling: "Mr. Shao, I know a lot. Just give me a position that allows me to stay in Shao's." The tears were caused by electricity.
Zhou Fu smiled apologetically, but he was excited in his heart and encouraged Guan Shanyue to charge with his eyes.
Shao Zizhuo picked up the new document, flipped it with his fingers, and immediately turned to the next page after she finished speaking, turning a deaf ear to this farce.
Special Assistant Liu's scalp tingled. He stepped forward to stop her, but looking at her face, he hesitated to say anything harsh. "Madam, if you need help, you can pay attention to our group's recruitment website."
The current increased again. Guan Shanyue shuddered, her legs went weak, she took two steps forward and fell next to Shao Zizhuo. She grabbed something impatiently.
Shao Zizhuo was speechless. The dagger in his eye could have killed Assistant Liu. Assistant Liu was extremely anxious and rushed to help her. Zhou Fu was also startled and came over, and there was a moment of chaos.
There was a strong tug on her chin, and her face was lifted up with tears in her eyes. Tears flowed from her eyes and slid down to her temples.
Suddenly, the current disappeared.
Guan Shanyue sank down weakly, but was stopped by the hand on her chin. She looked over unhappily, and first saw a pair of suit pants that appeared enlarged, oh no, it was a leg wearing suit pants, and her sinful little white hand was tightly grasping the black suit pants.
Her mind stopped working, and she slowly loosened her hands, smoothing out some of the wrinkles on her trousers, but they were still wrinkled. She wiped them again very embarrassedly, trying to smooth them out.
The suit pants slipped smoothly from her hands. She raised her eyes and saw a handsome face appear before her. The corners of his mouth were raised, and his muscles were stretched. But the look he gave her was calm, without a trace of smile. "To stay by my side, aren't you being too unscrupulous?"
As he said this, his eyes shifted from Guan Shanyue's face to Zhou Fu.
Being scrutinized by such eyes, Zhou Fu's eyes darkened, sweat began to form on his forehead, his back bent again and again, and he stammered, "Boss Shao, my niece really, really admires you. No, not those, that kind of, indecent things. No, I don't want anything from you."
The hand on his chin swung to the right, and Guan Shanyue was thrown aside. The voice above his head laughed more and more clearly: "True admiration? You don't want anything?"
That's enough. You really haven't had enough of the domineering CEO addiction, right? Guan Shanyue curled his lips speechlessly, pushed himself up from the ground with both hands, and stood in front of Shao Zizhuo, neither humble nor arrogant: "Yes, Mr. Shao, can we talk alone?"
Shao Zizhuo raised an eyebrow: "Okay."
Liu Tezhu was eager to do so, so he took Zhou Fu away and closed the door.
The combination lock made a "beep" sound, indicating that it was locked, and silence fell in the president's office.
Shao Zizhuo twirled the pen in his hand and casually glanced at Guan Shanyue's face.
Guan Shanyue sighed inwardly, and then she adopted the demeanor of a little white flower, stubborn but fluttering in the wind: "Boss Shao, I really like you. Maybe you don't know me, but I not only know you, I've also liked you for many years."
"You may not even remember it yourself, but you helped me out casually during your freshman year of high school. It was insignificant to you, but to me at the time, it was so precious." Guan Shanyue lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly. "During your junior year, I saw you taking graduation photos with your classmates. I wanted to take one with you, too, but there were so many people around you, and we didn't know each other, so I didn't dare. I could only take a photo from a distance. You were so small in the background that I couldn't even see you clearly."
"But after my family went bankrupt, the creditors trashed the house and I couldn't find the photo anymore."
Guan Shanyue took a deep breath and forced an unpleasant smile at Shao Zizhuo: "I am indeed sincere to you, but I also have my own selfish motives. My family is bankrupt and owes 50 million. The creditors are pressing me to pay it back within a year, but I am a recent college graduate, where can I get so much money?"
"There's no other way. Uncle Zhou has come up with a plan for me." Guan Shanyue spoke each word with a look of shame on his face. "Find someone to support me."
Guan Shanyue couldn't laugh anymore, and tears filled her eyes again: "Instead of just finding someone, it's better to be with the one I love. Mr. Shao, please, please keep me."
Please leave me here, you narcissistic boss. Isn’t this secret love story with vague details touching enough? Isn’t my character of only loving you sincere enough? I don’t want to be electrocuted!!! Guan Shanyue squeezed out tears and glanced at Shao Zizhuo out of the corner of her eye.
Shao Zizhuo was dazzled by this sudden confession. He stared at the ground, as if recalling something. He looked Guan Shanyue up and down, took out his cell phone with a complicated expression, and placed it in front of Guan Shanyue.
Guan Shanyue didn't understand what he meant, so he lowered his head and leaned over to take a look.
It is a photo of a swan on the school's red background stage. The swan is wearing a white ballet skirt, with toes stretched straight. She is a noble swan with her head held high, her neck slender, her hair tied up, and her palm-sized face completely exposed. The person taking the photo is a little far away, so her facial features are not very clear.
But beauty is not limited to pixels.
A fairy descended to earth. Guan Shanyue sighed in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, she realized that this was Bai Yueguang! Seeing is believing! It's really easy to be obsessed with her.
Okay, okay, let’s try this, eh? Then step up your acting!
Tremble, you've never seen such a domineering boss on the market.
Guan Shanyue tapped her fingertips, magnifying the person in the photo. "I've liked you for so long, how could I not know her?" She smiled bitterly and pointed at her own face. "I look a lot like her, but I'm not that lucky. I'll never be like her."
"But I am willing to be her substitute, as long as I can be with you." With eyes full of tears, Guan Shanyue covered her heart and looked at Shao Zizhuo affectionately. Her heart was in turmoil and she wanted to go up to him and shake him and shout, "Accept it quickly, accept it quickly!"
Shao Zizhuo laughed sincerely this time. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Guan Shanyue without saying a word.
Guan Shanyue gritted her teeth: "I really..."
"good."
Guan Shanyue didn't react and was stunned for a moment: "Okay?"
Shao Zizhuo stared at Guan Shanyue, trying to find something on her face, but all he could see were tears threatening to fall. Bored, he swiped out a black card, "There's 50 million on it, and on top of that, you can swipe a certain amount every month to support your life. Is that enough to be your substitute?"
The system voice continued: "The plot point has been activated, and the plot is 1% complete. Please keep up the good work."
Finally passed a level!!! Guan Shanyue breathed a sigh of relief, immediately put away her silly face, bit her tongue, forced back the tears that had not yet fallen, and smiled happily: "What's the password?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, another burst of electricity appeared! The system voice was even colder than the male protagonist: "Please maintain your personality."
Guan Shanyue grimaced, nearly fainting from the sudden surge of electricity. She forced a quick, almost ethereal smile, weakly pushed the card back, and shook her head. "That's too much, Mr. Shao. I just want the agreed-upon fifty million."
Shao Zizhuo looked at the woman who was crying and laughing. She stared at the card reluctantly, the muscles in her slender wrist tensed from exerting force. He sneered, "Take it."
Guan Shanyue put the card away quickly with a shy face, revealing an extremely well-behaved smile: "Thank you."
Guan Shanyue was satisfied after receiving his "salary". A sense of mission arose spontaneously. Like a bodyguard, he asked with a straight face, "Boss Shao, what exactly should I do now?"
