Chapter 862 Kong Chi Extra (5)
When Gu Zhixu first joined the company, the young and naive Gu Zhixu did have some fantasies and excitements about it.
After working for almost a year, her youthful spirit was completely extinguished by the job, and her heart quickly grew weary. She finally lost all interest in the company and her boss.
Who can tolerate a life-threatening phone call at 3 a.m.?
Who can accept having to worry about someone's food, clothing, shelter, and transportation like an old woman at the age of twenty-four?
Anyway, Gu Zhixu won't do.
She's not a masochist!
During that time, because she didn't understand Kong Chi's habits, she secretly put in a lot of hard work. At that time, she needed money, and unfortunately, while this job wasn't great in other aspects, the salary was really considerable.
Therefore, in order to keep this job, she was in a state of constant anxiety for a long time. When Kong Chi frowned, she could not tell anything on the surface, but in fact she was so nervous that she was about to faint.
It was under such high pressure that she accidentally discovered that shooting game.
She initially thought it was a waste of time, but after playing it a few times, she was surprised to find that the game was very relaxing.
The moment she blew the enemy's head off, she felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration, as if the shot had killed not an enemy, but her countless tedious and tedious jobs, the anxiety and endless pressure accumulating in her heart, or even the person who would occasionally frown at her...
Hmm, I shouldn't think too much about things I shouldn't.
And then, by chance, she discovered that many streamers were also playing the game. At that time, she was constantly worried about being fired, so she simply opened a streamer account as well, not for any other reason than to have a backup plan for herself.
If she loses her status as a career woman, she can still earn some extra money this way, so she won't run out of income.
And that's how his identity as a game streamer was confirmed.
As for complaining about her boss, it was purely accidental. It was because some of her viewers, who were also office workers, would occasionally complain about their work and their stupid bosses in the chat.
She would occasionally chime in with a few words, and over time, more and more office workers flocked to her live stream. They all felt that Sister Ban was their mouthpiece and that she resonated deeply with them.
Most importantly—she was miserable enough.
Anyway, they're even worse off than most office workers.
In addition, her actions and shooting skills in the game are so crisp and clean that it's not only fun to play but also fun to watch, which perfectly complements her sharp and witty remarks.
Therefore, playing games while complaining about her boss and work has become a major style of her live stream.
And because Gu Zhixu never showed her face, she didn't think it was a big deal to complain about her work or her eccentric, energetic boss.
She's already at a point where everyone at work is about to explode, so she needs somewhere to vent her frustrations.
Although her live streams are never long, she always seems to enjoy them.
The premise is that the boss was completely unaware of this.
But there's no way I could know that!
Gu Zhixu's mood was in turmoil all morning. She almost crushed the sandwich in her hand, still unable to figure out how her boss could have found out about her live stream.
You should know that your boss is someone who has always been wary of these live streaming apps.
Not only that, but he also forbids anyone around him from doing anything that he considers a waste of time.
Moreover, he has severe mysophobia and countless fussy little habits...
Okay, okay, stop it. If we keep going, it'll turn into a roast session.
Gu Zhixu went through a hundred and eighty turns in his mind, and finally came to the conclusion that this meal was just Kong Chi's good intentions, or... a sudden lapse in judgment?
In any case, it's impossible to discover the disguise she's wearing.
Once she figured it out, she wasn't so conflicted anymore. She let out a long sigh, peeled off the sandwich crust, and took a vicious bite.
...
As it turned out, Gu Zhixu made the right decision to finish his breakfast.
Because for the rest of the day, she didn't eat a single proper meal.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Kong Chi got so angry during the conference call that several department heads were too afraid to go in and report on project progress, and instead pulled her, their "fire extinguisher," to put out the fire.
After a whole morning, Gu Zhixu could only describe himself as "utterly exhausted".
By lunchtime, the calories from the milk sandwich had long been used up, and she was about to grab something to eat at the cafeteria when the two heads of Department A and Department B got into a fight over a performance review dispute, even threatening to take it to court in the president's office.
Just kidding, she spent the whole morning straightening the tiger's fur, how could she let them touch it again?
So Gu Zhixu had no choice but to skip lunch and bring over the heads of the two departments, along with HR Sister Li, to help sort out the performance issues.
She worked smoothly until the afternoon, and her hunger had subsided, so she decided to compile the meeting reports that Kong Chi needed for the day.
Time flew by and it was evening. Gu Zhixu was about to leave work when Kong Chi told him that he had to go with him to a business dinner hosted by the Ocean Bureau.
It was another business dinner.
Gu Zhixu dislikes business dinners.
The "annoying" attitude of working people is worthless.
You have to do everything you don't want to do, even if you have to hold your nose.
So Gu Zhixu had no choice but to follow Kong Chi on his long journey again.
The only good thing is that I don't have to drink today.
So at the banquet, apart from acting as Kong Chi's female companion and always showing a few standard smiles, Gu Zhixu managed to get two pieces of macarons to fill her stomach.
As expected, it was 10:30 when we came out of the banquet hall.
Gu Zhixu laughed all night, feeling that her cheekbones were fuller than usual—it would have been even better if they hadn't twitched slightly.
She stood at the entrance of the banquet hall and politely said goodbye to Kong Chi, as always.
Kong Chi, however, left as before, and instead had the driver take a box from the trunk.
He took it casually and handed it to Gu Zhixu.
Gu Zhixu hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously asked to confirm, "For...me?"
Kong Chi looked a little awkward, but still hummed in agreement, his gaze sweeping over her slightly swollen feet: "You're tall enough, you don't necessarily need to wear high heels to work."
It took Gu Zhixu a moment to react. She took the gift box, opened it, and sure enough, there was a pair of simple, comfortable flat Oxford shoes.
"This..." She was speechless for a moment before she smiled and said, "I have flat shoes too, so there's no need for you to spend money, Mr. Chi..."
Kong Chi was clearly dissatisfied with her excuse: "If you don't like it, just throw it away. There's no reason to take back what I've given away."
Gu Zhixu: "..."
She was no longer the country bumpkin she was when she first graduated, and naturally knew the value of these shoes—they were a brand that would be snapped up instantly on a second-hand platform.
She threw it away... How much money does she have to lose?
She coughed lightly, then smiled and said without further pretense, "Thank you, Mr. Chi."
Seeing that she had accepted it, Kong Chi's brows relaxed a little, and he then took out another bag from the side: "Take this back too."
"This is?"
"The food at the banquet was terrible," Kong Chi seemed relieved to have given away the shoes. When he spoke again, he regained his usual natural yet somewhat domineering demeanor: "Take them back and make a midnight snack."
Gu Zhixu exclaimed "Ah!"
The food at the dinner was indeed terrible; the macarons were so cloying that she felt nauseous.
But on this particular day, Kong Chi delivered breakfast and then midnight snack.
She now feels that her materialistic world is collapsing.
"Aren't you going to ride in my car?" Kong Chi had no idea about her complex thoughts. He just felt it wasn't safe for a girl to go home alone so late, so he asked again.
Gu Zhixu snapped out of her daze and quickly nodded: "It's not on my way. The car I called is coming soon. You should go back now."
Seeing her insistence, Kong Chi stopped pressuring her, nodded, got into the car, and seemed somewhat satisfied with himself.
Gu Zhixu thought he must be seeing things.
