Chapter 859 Chi Bao's Side Story (2)
The door opened, and a mature-looking, professional woman, dressed in a gray midi skirt suit, walked into the office.
The other person had their hair neatly tied up in a bun.
She wore thin gold-rimmed glasses, and her makeup was fresh and clean yet slightly dignified, giving the impression that she was meticulous and reliable at first glance.
"Mr. Chi, you called me?"
Kong Chi has always admired her professional image.
Seeing her come in, he nodded slightly: "Give me a report on today's itinerary."
“Okay,” Gu Zhixu said without any documents or phone in hand, but he spoke fluently: “At eight o’clock in the morning, there is an internal shareholder framework meeting, which is expected to end at eleven o’clock; at eleven twenty, ‘Business People’ magazine will conduct a forty-minute interview; at noon, we will set off to inspect several newly acquired group subsidiaries; at four o’clock in the afternoon, we will attend a trade fair in Nankai District, which will last until seven o’clock, followed by a business dinner hosted by the organizers.”
The person who spoke had a clear and concise voice, a steady tone, and a faint smile on their face. The curve of their lips never changed from beginning to end, making them seem like a bionic AI.
In Kong Chi's view, this is clearly a huge advantage of Gu Zhixu—it perfectly meets his needs for efficient office work.
"Okay, go ahead and get busy," Kong Chi said calmly, then picked up the documents on the table and began to read.
"Okay, Mr. Chi, please call me if you need anything." Gu Zhixu bowed slightly and turned to leave, when Kong Chi's voice rang out behind him again: "The fruit is cut quite well."
Gu Zhixu paused slightly, then smiled and said, "Thank you, President Chi. It's all I should do."
...
Kong Chi's schedule is always packed.
By the time the final dinner ended, it was already 11 p.m.
After leaving the hotel, Gu Zhixu and Kong Chi parted ways at the entrance.
Once in the car, Kong Chi asked the driver to roll down the window and said to Gu Zhixu, who was still standing at the door, "Get in. Where do you live? I'll have the driver give you a ride."
Even though he had drunk quite a bit, Gu Zhixu's standard professional smile seemed to be welded onto his face: "No need, President Chi, the car I called will be here soon. You should go home early and get some rest."
Seeing that she refused, Kong Chi stopped insisting, nodded, and rolled up the car window.
The car drove towards a detached apartment he lived in near his company.
The apartment complex is also part of Yun Ting's property. Because it's close to the company and convenient to go anywhere, he asked the manager to reserve one for him.
He usually stays here when he's not at the old house for family gatherings.
The first thing I do when I get home is take a shower.
At the banquet today, many people came to toast him, and he really couldn't stand the smell of smoke and alcohol on him.
He finally breathed a long sigh of relief after his clothes were in the washer-dryer, he had used shower gel three times, changed into a bathrobe, and lay down on the 2.3-meter-wide bed.
Even though he has a reputation as a workaholic, he is not a machine after all. After working non-stop all day, he is bound to get tired.
The best way to restore energy is to sleep.
So he took two melatonin pills before going to bed, and now he's counting sheep with his eyes closed.
Three minutes later, he opened his eyes and suspected that he had taken fake medicine.
He was physically exhausted, but mentally very excited. His mind was filled with work-related thoughts, from whether or not to cooperate on this project to the clashes at the shareholders' meeting that morning. In short, his head was buzzing, and he couldn't sleep at all.
Kong Chi couldn't remember how many sleepless nights this was.
His temples were throbbing and aching, and he felt that restless feeling of not being able to control his body coming back.
He let out a sigh of relief, got up, grabbed his phone from the bedside table, and decided to find some music to help him fall asleep.
However, perhaps due to excessive boredom, he intended to open a music app but accidentally clicked on a platform called "DouLe" next to it.
These live streaming platforms are quite cunning these days. In order to retain users, they don't even need you to be redirected; once you enter, they bombard you with a barrage of content.
Therefore, before Kong Chi could close the software, the sound of the live stream had already started playing—
"Welcome to the new live stream, my dear! This is... um... 'Single Aristocrat', thank you for your attention."
It took Kong Chi five seconds to realize that this "single aristocrat" was actually himself.
The familiar scene on the screen made him realize that he had accidentally clicked into the live stream of the game streamer that Kong Ran had asked him to follow that morning—with a username that was both cheesy and awkward.
Kong Chi suddenly felt his head throb even more.
Without a second thought, he was about to exit when he heard the streamer continue, "Why are you streaming so late again? Come on, let's pick a true fan to answer this question."
The female voice in the live stream was very relaxed, with a touch of nonchalance and sarcasm.
It was definitely not the tone of anyone he knew well.
But strangely, he felt he had heard the voice somewhere before.
A moment's hesitation slowed his exit, and he glanced at the comments below—
【What else could it be? It must be another case of the streamer's unscrupulous boss exploiting his employees!】
[It seems you haven't been following this streamer long enough. Today, Sister Ban's broadcast time is already considered early! She usually broadcasts late at night!]
[Stop talking, even my supervisor has left work today, but I'm still working overtime. This miserable old man is about to cry again.]
[Sis, how did your boss exploit you today? Tell me so I can feel a little better.]
"Today..." the person in the live stream began to speak. Her camera was pointed at the computer screen, and she was indeed playing a game, a pretty popular sniper game.
Kong Ran had once dragged Kong Chi to play this game. The biggest feature of this game was that it was fun, with one shot and one headshot, simple and brutal. However, Kong Chi disliked the bloody scenes after the headshots, so he patiently played with her for a while before giving up.
Surprisingly, this streamer is quite skilled; in such a short time, she has already secured three kills. Her movements are precise, swift, and efficient, without interrupting her chat with her fans in the live stream.
For example, right now, after she had precisely taken down another enemy, she sneered and said, "Today I walked 25,000 steps in seven-centimeter heels, skipped lunch, and drank nine glasses of red wine for my boss while on an empty stomach. And now I'm on my period, and I'm bleeding like a river."
As soon as the words were spoken, the live chat exploded with comments—
[Holy crap, Sister Ban, are you okay?]
[For a moment, I didn't know whether to be concerned about the streamer's feet, stomach, or belly...]
[Sure enough, I knew I could always find comfort in the streamer. Suddenly I feel like I'm just working overtime. Help me up, I can still make this PPT...]
