Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan
Chapter 403 The Secretary Who Wanted to Take Over the House While Carrying the Baby (2)
“Ding-ling-ling——”
Gu Xiaoxiao was so startled by her suddenly ringing phone that she almost spilled her coffee on the keyboard. The three words "dog" flashing on the screen made her temples throb.
This addictive ringtone was something she had deliberately set for Si Jin years ago to vent her anger; she never expected to still be able to hear it after transmigrating to a parallel world.
"I'm going to country D today, so get ready." The voice on the other end of the phone was like silk soaked in ice water, so cold it made your eardrums tremble.
Gu Xiaoxiao stared blankly at the brand-new employee ID card on her desk; the photo showed her wearing the exact same black suit. The system panel flashed before her eyes: [Original world timeline frozen; current world integration rate 78%]
"Secretary Gu?" Assistant Xiao Lin peeked in through the door, holding a folder. "President Si asked me to remind you that the VIP room's air conditioning is cold, so remember to bring a shawl." She pointed to a folded cashmere scarf on the sofa in the lounge, its dark gray pattern gleaming softly in the morning light.
When Gu Xiaoxiao arrived at the airport, the quartz clock in the VIP lounge was pointing to seven o'clock. Si Jin was sitting on a single sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her black haute couture suit highlighting her broad shoulders and narrow waist.
His wristwatch reflected a cold light as he flipped through the documents, but upon hearing footsteps, he subtly pushed the hot cocoa beside him toward the other side.
"President Si, I..." Gu Xiaoxiao was about to explain when a stack of fashion week documents was thrown into her arms.
"Look at what you're wearing." Si Jin poked the cuff of her beige suit with the nib of his pen in disdain. "Anyone who didn't know better would think we were going to a bank's annual meeting." He suddenly frowned, staring at her reddened nose. "Did you run all the way from the subway station?"
Gu Xiaoxiao was about to nod when she saw Xiao Lin running over from the VIP channel with a supplementary card in hand. Si Jin had already lowered her head to continue reviewing documents, but her slender fingers precisely flipped the boarding pass to the back—the boarding time had been crossed out in red pen, and the new time had been postponed by a full two hours.
"Go and change into another one!"
“But it’s a long way from my home, and I won’t make it in time.” Gu Xiaoxiao was about to explain when Si Jin interrupted her ruthlessly, “I don’t want to hear your explanation, Xiao Lin!”
Upon seeing his name, Kobayashi immediately became very alert and walked between the two.
"Take Secretary Gu to the airport and see if there's anything suitable for her!"
"Airport? Wouldn't that be very expensive?" Before she could finish speaking, Si Jin seemed to know what Gu Xiaoxiao was about to say and immediately added, "Use my supplementary card."
Gu Xiaoxiao was about to express her gratitude to Si Jin when Si Jin added, "I'll deduct it from your salary when we get back."
Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately lost their light, and she was dragged by Xiaolin to a super expensive luxury store near the airport to try on clothes, looking like a wilted eggplant.
When Gu Xiaoxiao came out of the fitting room wearing a champagne-colored fishtail dress, a tall figure suddenly appeared in the full-length mirror.
Si Jin appeared behind her unnoticed, the sapphire on his tie clip shimmering against the rhinestones on her skirt. He tossed her a pearl-white shawl, his face cold: "What kind of look is this, a backless dress?"
“But this was recommended by the sales assistant…” Gu Xiaoxiao was pulled and spun around before she could finish speaking. Si Jin’s fingers brushed against her shoulder blades through the thin fabric, sending a shiver through her body. The man quickly withdrew his hand and put it in his pocket, his Adam’s apple bobbing twice: “Change to the misty blue one. This one is too revealing!”
"Oh," Gu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to change back to the one she had chosen before.
After confirming that the woman had entered the fitting room, Si Jin turned her gaze away and said to Xiao Lin beside her, "Keep that one too, pack the two separately."
As the plane plunged into the stratosphere, Gu Xiaoxiao was dozing off, clutching her newly bought dress. In her hazy state, she felt someone slip something into her hand. Opening her eyes, she saw a beautifully packaged box of raw chocolate lying in her palm. Beside her, she heard Si Jin flipping through reports: "Employee benefits."
Outside the porthole, the sea of clouds surged. Gu Xiaoxiao secretly used her peripheral vision to trace the man's well-defined profile. Seeing that he was still intently looking at the documents, showing no signs of fatigue, Gu Xiaoxiao felt that Si Jin was terrifying.
If I were to work non-stop like Si Jin, I would have collapsed long ago, let alone with such a high-intensity job.
Although Gu Xiaoxiao sometimes disliked Si Jin, she had to admit that Si Jin was a very charming and highly proactive person.
Well, some people deserve to earn that kind of money!
The white noise in the cabin was suddenly pierced by a long, drawn-out "gurgling" sound. Gu Xiaoxiao frantically pressed her hand against her abdomen. Her fingertips sank into the champagne-colored silk fabric, and the bow at her waist was pulled crooked.
She froze like a hamster caught stealing food, and out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Si Jin paused in her flipping through the documents.
The metal pen tip hovered on the page for three seconds before swishing out a sharp crease. Gu Xiaoxiao stared at his tense jawline, then quietly crumpled up a chocolate wrapper and stuffed it into the crevice of the seat.
Suddenly, a cold snort came from above. Si Jin had turned on the reading lamp at some point, and tiny dust particles floated in the warm yellow light.
“You…” He loosened his tie, his Adam’s apple bobbing in the shadows, “I don’t want to treat my employees so badly that I have to negotiate on an empty stomach.” He slammed the end of his pen into the call bell, the metallic clang startling Gu Xiaoxiao.
The flight attendant appeared with the speed of magic, pushing a food cart. A crystal bowl held crème brûlée, its crisp crust cracked with a spiderweb pattern, trembling with golden-brown syrup. Si Jin tapped the rim of the bowl with a silver spoon: "I've eaten."
Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the dessert pushed in front of her, and when she scooped some cream, it got on her nose. Suddenly, a handkerchief was thrown at her from across the table, the iris emblem digging into her palm. "A twenty-year-old still acting like a child." Si Jin pulled the blanket from her knees, unfolded it, and with a whoosh, covered her legs that were exposed to the cold air.
Just as Gu Xiaoxiao was shivering from the cold, a steaming cup of hot cocoa was handed to her. "Drink it."
The tone was still commanding. Gu Xiaoxiao pouted, took the hot cocoa, thanked him, and obediently drank it.
As dusk settled over the clouds outside the porthole, Gu Xiaoxiao was dozing off, holding a hot cocoa. She vaguely felt someone snatch the empty cup from her arms, and her cedar-scented suit jacket slipped off her shoulder.
The rustling sound of papers turning over filled my ears, occasionally punctuated by the soft tapping of a pen on the table—a habitual action of someone checking the revised contract she had made.
"Hmm...is there a problem with the terms?" She rubbed her eyes and tried to get up, but suddenly a warm palm pressed down on the top of her head. Si Jin's thumb unconsciously stroked her upturned ahoge, but her voice remained cold and hard as ever: "Go back to sleep."
"Oh," Gu Xiaoxiao said helplessly, as Si Jin pressed her back down. She began to feel uneasy again, thinking that Si Jin's angry attitude meant that her contract must have been handled very badly again.
The thought of how badly she had handled this contract and how she would have her performance bonus deducted, followed by the cost of the dress she was wearing, would leave her penniless for the rest of the month.
Gu Xiaoxiao felt extremely upset, but when she thought that the female lead from the original story might appear after she returned to China, and that Si Jin might not have much time to deal with her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Si Jin, whose expression was equally solemn, silently put away the documents spread out in front of her and looked out the window expressionlessly to cover up the fact that she had just been peeking at the little figure that Gu Xiaoxiao had drawn on the contract.
