Chapter 867 Kong Chi Extra (10)
After being "educated" by the viewers in the live stream, the other party was clearly a bit anxious and quickly replied: "[But why is it impossible? Didn't the streamer say her boss is good-looking? Being around him every day, hasn't the streamer ever fantasized about a romantic office romance?]"
"Office romance? More like an office horror story!!!" Gu Zhixu couldn't help but raise her voice: "Little sister, you're probably still quite young, right? Let me tell you the truth, don't fantasize about dating your boss. Imagine you've been working overtime until 1 a.m. and still haven't finished your report, feeling exhausted and wanting comfort from your boyfriend. Then your boyfriend sends you a message asking—'How's the work progress?' How would you feel? Can you tell if this is the comfort you want or a series of deadly blows?"
[The streamer revealed the truth, and I instantly lost my nerve.]
[Damn, the streamer actually had a job; just thinking about it makes me suffocate.]
[As expected of the class leader, she can imbue any romantic scene with a strong class flavor.]
The comment that was just posted has stopped; clearly, they have nothing more to say.
Upon seeing this, Kong Chi slammed his phone shut, unusually refraining from commenting or sending virtual gifts, and logged off before the streamer.
For some reason, the topic they were discussing tonight made him particularly unhappy.
What's wrong with dating your boss?
Is it really that uninteresting?
Thinking about what the streamer complained about tonight, a vague idea slowly emerged and lingered even after I got to the apartment.
As he was getting off the bus, he cursed himself for being crazy, but couldn't help but ask the driver, "Check this streamer for me tomorrow and get me her real information registered on the website."
...
Kong Chi suffered from insomnia again that night, which was unusual for him.
He didn't receive the survey information from the driver until dawn. Instead, he received a message from Gu Zhixu requesting leave: "President Chi, I'm feeling a little unwell today and would like to request half a day off. I hope you will approve."
Gu Zhixu rarely takes leave.
In Kong Chi's memory, she was always with him when he went to work.
Every day when he arrived at the company, she had already prepared everything he needed.
She would follow him home after he got off work, turning off the doors, windows, and lights in the common areas.
He had long been used to her always being by his side and never realized that she could also get sick or feel unwell.
Thinking back to the fact that he had only noticed her expression two days ago, Kong Chi belatedly realized that Gu Zhixu was not an unbreakable AI.
Her 24/7 availability likely comes with many hardships and hardships he is unaware of.
Thinking about this, he became even more agitated.
He breathed a sigh of relief and replied in the most patient tone possible, "I understand. You don't need to come this afternoon. Get some rest."
...
On the other side, Gu Zhixu received a message from Kong Chi and suddenly felt that his complaints about his boss over the years might have been a bit one-sided.
However, Kong Chi has been behaving abnormally lately, so it might be normal for him to speak to me in such a gentle tone?
Gu Zhixu pondered for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up.
She took sick leave because she was genuinely ill.
It could be due to drinking alcohol during my period a few days ago, or it could be a problem that has been building up over time.
She felt groggy and dizzy when she woke up in the morning.
Normally, this minor illness wouldn't prevent her from arriving at work on time, but today it seems that all the retribution for her past overworking her body has come at once.
Headache was one thing, but the worst part was that her stomach also acted up at this time. She vomited acid and bile several times in the morning before she had even eaten anything.
As she walked, she realized that she absolutely had to take the day off.
She was apprehensive when she sent the leave request to Kong Chi.
She still vividly remembered how Kong Chi had verbally abused her in a text message two years ago when she took leave due to a sudden bout of gastritis, and that day she was supposed to go to a very important seminar with Kong Chi.
Every sentence, without a single vulgar word, struck a chord deep within her heart.
Okay, but you'll need to submit a report in advance if you want to take leave in the future.
[To be absent from such an important occasion, if you don't want to do this job, you could have given advance notice and been reassigned to someone else.]
[We hope that Assistant Gu will demonstrate the professionalism expected of this position in the future.]
In just a few words, Gu Zhixu felt utterly ashamed.
It was also this incident that completely dispelled Gu Zhixu's fascination with Kong Chi.
Admittedly, he continued to showcase his charm as always, but she understood then that a boss is a boss and an employee is an employee. She had to demonstrate sufficient professionalism in front of her boss in order to keep her hard-won job.
Now, after two years, Gu Zhixu was prepared to be criticized again when she asked for leave, but her boss's attitude took a complete 180-degree turn.
So much so that she felt it was better if the boss just kept acting crazy.
She endured the stomach and headache, took a bunch of random medications, and then went to bed and lay there like a corpse.
However, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
It felt like fire was shooting from my nose, and my stomach felt like it was being brutally beaten.
Not knowing when the medicine would take effect, Gu Zhixu simply got up, curled up on the sofa in front of the computer, and started a live stream.
She doesn't play games, she just spends time online.
At this time, most of the workers are at work, and there are very few people in the live stream room. She chats with people casually, trying to distract herself.
...
Kong Chi was surprised that the streamer was online at this time.
He's had a really bad day since this morning.
With Gu Zhixu absent, another assistant took over his side. The coffee she brought him in the morning was hot, and the sandwich contained chicken strips, which he hated the most.
During the meeting, the materials were misorganized three times. He asked the other party to retrieve the suit he had left at the dry cleaner in preparation for the afternoon meeting. However, the other party said there was a traffic jam on the way, and he didn't get it until two hours later than expected. Helpless, he could only wear a spare suit.
No obsessive-compulsive disorder patient could tolerate all of this.
Kong Chi is a severe case of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
This feeling of powerlessness made him suddenly realize that, without him even noticing, Gu Zhixu had become so important to him...
After the meeting in the afternoon, he unusually did not return to the company immediately. Instead, he randomly found a room in the conference center where the meeting was held, found a quiet corner, and started a live broadcast.
He did this purely out of a whim.
To everyone's surprise, the streamer was actually online at that time.
He wasn't the only one who was surprised.
Any random office worker who randomly enters the chat will exclaim "Wow!" in surprise that the streamer is online.
The voice coming from the screen was very hoarse, and the person explained wearily, "Well, I'm not feeling well today, so I'll rest for the day."
The chat was filled with messages telling the streamer to take a break.
On the other side of the screen, Kong Chi felt that eerie sense of familiarity returning.
He couldn't help but think that Gu Zhixu had also taken the day off.
Is that a coincidence?
Is it really that much of a coincidence?
One coincidence, two coincidences, one after another, and they're all so coincidental.
Is it really just a coincidence?!
