Chapter 872 Kong Chi Extra (15)
Gu Zhixu habitually helped him tie it up.
However, the actions I usually do feel a little awkward today.
Kong Chi was very tall. Even though Gu Zhixu was wearing high heels, she only reached his neck. She tiptoed closer and could clearly hear his strong heartbeat and feel his hot body temperature.
Her cheeks also warmed up slightly.
What made it even more unbearable for her was the burning gaze she felt above her head, as if it wanted to scorch her.
But when she looked up, that gaze disappeared again, as if it were just her imagination.
...
That evening, Gu Zhixu accompanied Kong Chi to a social event.
The executives at the dinner table were all high-ranking officials. Gu Zhixu watched Kong Chi interact with them with ease and was somewhat lost in thought.
She was used to accompanying Kong Chi to social events, but it seemed difficult for her to remain as calm as ever.
"Who is this beautiful lady next to President Chi?" At the dinner table, President Yu, Kong Chi's recent business partner, looked at Gu Zhixu with some interest.
Gu Zhixu snapped out of her daze and gave a professional smile: "President Yu, I'm President Chi's assistant. You can just call me Xiao Gu."
Mr. Yu nodded: "As far as I know, your CEO Chi has high standards for his assistant. This young lady is so young, yet she has managed to satisfy your CEO. She must be quite capable. Come on, let's have a drink. You can also teach this little assistant of mine how she usually pleases the boss!"
This is a very disrespectful statement.
However, Gu Zhixu had been following Kong Chi to and from dinner parties and drinking parties for many years and was already used to it, so he instinctively wanted to feign compliance and get through it.
But before he could even raise his glass, Kong Chi stopped him, his voice cold and indifferent: "My assistant doesn't need to flatter me. She does her job well and will naturally be appreciated."
Across from him, General Manager Yu was taken aback at first, then chuckled, though the smile didn't reach his eyes: "General Manager Chi's words are well said. Little Liu, did you hear that? You should learn from Little Gu in your work from now on."
Xiao Liu, the assistant standing next to President Yu, nodded hurriedly, his face flushed, and walked over to Gu Zhixu with the wine in his hand: "Sister Gu, you are my senior, I will learn a lot from you."
Gu Zhixu disapproved of Yu Zong making things difficult for his assistant. Noticing the assistant's unease, Gu Zhixu smiled slightly, said a few polite words, and then raised his glass to clink glasses with the assistant.
Before he could even drink, Kong Chi stopped him: "You've just recovered, don't touch the alcohol."
Gu Zhixu: "..."
Suddenly, all sorts of gazes fell on Gu Zhixu and Kong Chi.
Gu Zhixu coughed lightly, wanting to say it was okay, but swallowed his words under Kong Chi's unquestionable gaze.
"Hahaha, I never knew that President Chi was such a chivalrous man! It's alright, if Xiao Gu doesn't drink, President Chi will. Come on, let's drink until we're both drunk!" President Yu laughed and raised his glass.
Kong Chi didn't say much, but simply raised his glass, gestured to President Yu, and then downed the glass in one gulp.
"readily!"
That night, Kong Chi didn't let Gu Zhixu touch a drop of alcohol, but he accepted all the toasts offered to him by others.
Gu Zhixu's feelings were unknown.
She had accompanied Kong Chi to countless banquets, but she had never felt so conflicted.
The boss helped his employees avoid drinking alcohol.
Is that right?!
Although Gu Zhixu didn't know what had gotten into Kong Chi, she had a disorienting feeling that things were going off track.
...
Unsurprisingly, Kong Chi drank too much.
Kong Chi is always mindful of his behavior when socializing, and rarely drinks too much.
On those few occasions, Gu Zhixu was only responsible for getting people into the car, and a driver would then safely escort them home.
However, things are different now; the two are now living under the same roof.
Therefore, this was the first time Gu Zhixu had ever known that Kong Chi was like this when he was drunk—clingy.
Things started going wrong after we got on the bus.
After Gu Zhixu helped the person into the car, he opened the window to ventilate the car. A little while later, he saw Kong Chi move from one side of the car to Gu Zhixu's side.
Kong Chi moved an inch to this side, and Gu Zhixu moved an inch closer to the car window.
Inch by inch, until there was nowhere left to move, Gu Zhixu couldn't help but whisper, "President Chi, it's hot."
How can it not be hot?
Men are naturally warmer, and after drinking alcohol, their breath is even hotter.
Kong Chi acted as if he hadn't heard, frowned, and said with dissatisfaction, "It's after get off work, and you're still calling me President Chi."
Gu Zhixu never expected that this was what he was concerned about. He said with a mix of helplessness and amusement, "Okay, I won't call you President Chi. Could you please sit to the side? It's too crowded."
Kong Chi loosened his tie and uttered two words: "No."
Gu Zhixu: "..."
"What shower gel do you use?" Kong Chi murmured with his eyes closed.
Gu Zhixu didn't understand, and subconsciously sniffed herself: "It was in the bathroom."
“That’s not right.” Kong Chi leaned close to Gu Zhixu and took a deep sniff: “We use the same stuff, so why do you smell better than me?”
The man's sudden closeness made her grip the car door handle tighter, and she coughed lightly, saying, "You smelled it wrong."
Kong Chi was dissatisfied with her questioning: "My nose isn't broken."
Gu Zhixu didn't know what to say.
Kong Chi's current behavior is almost tantamount to workplace harassment!
But strangely, she didn't find it particularly offensive.
Instead, he seemed to have shed his lofty aura, and at this moment he was like a child, stubbornly arguing with her about some completely unimportant "facts".
Weird...cute.
Upon hearing the word "cute," Gu Zhixu was startled and felt that she must have lost her mind.
How could she possibly find her boss, whom she complains about every night, cute?!
She gritted her teeth and pushed Kong Chi aside: "It's really too hot, don't get so close to me."
Kong Chi's lips twitched, and his voice sounded somewhat aggrieved: "Xu Xu, you dislike me."
Gu Zhixu: "???"
What did he call her?!
Feeling awkward or embarrassed, she glanced in the rearview mirror and saw the driver in front of her trying to suppress a laugh. She had only one thought in her mind—"I'm doomed."
When Kong Chi wakes up tomorrow and remembers what happened today, won't he silence her?
She gritted her teeth and said, "I don't look down on you, get up first."
"If you don't dislike me, why do you keep pushing me away?" Kong Chi murmured with his eyes closed. "I know you've never liked me."
Gu Zhixu was completely taken aback by Kong Chi's words and was stunned for a moment.
Kong Chi didn't want her response at all, and said to himself, "You don't like me, you think I'm a tyrant who exploits you."
Gu Zhixu's scalp began to tingle, and he forced a smile, "No, why would you think that?"
Kong Chi stopped talking and instead tilted his head to the side.
Gu Zhixu felt a weight on her shoulder, and then saw Kong Chi collapse, embracing her tightly and whispering, "I won't let you go..."
The words were spoken vaguely, and Gu Zhixu didn't hear them clearly: "What did you say?"
Kong Chi didn't speak again, but simply hugged the person tighter.
Gu Zhixu tried, but couldn't push it away; he simply couldn't.
The driver in front smiled and said, "Miss Gu, Mr. Chi is a bit clingy when he's had too much to drink. You'll get used to it."
