Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Chapter 405 The Secretary Who Wanted to Take Over the House While Carrying the Baby (4)

As Gu Xiaoxiao rushed into the mall clutching the black card, the crystal chandelier cast her shadow on the Prada window. She adjusted her smile to match the reflection in the glass, mimicking the standard smile of a villainous female supporting character in a TV drama—upturned eyes, slightly curved red lips, and a soft "click" as her fingers brushed the black card across the glass.

Her original character was a scheming woman who desperately wanted to marry into a wealthy family, so spending some of the male lead's money beforehand shouldn't be a problem, right?

Having mentally prepared herself, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate any longer and immediately started her shopping spree.

"This one, this one, and..." she tried to imitate the trilled "r" of socialites on TikTok, but her performance faltered when the sales assistant brought over a ten-centimeter-tall shoebox. "Um... can I try them on?"

When the sales assistant softly asked for her payment password, Gu Xiaoxiao was staring blankly at the rhinestones on her heels.

She suddenly remembered that when Kobayashi handed her the card this morning, she didn't seem to have told her the PIN...

What should I do? This is so embarrassing!

"The password is..." Gu Xiaoxiao's thumb unconsciously rubbed the gold foil pattern on the card, and she suddenly felt like she was a random passerby who would dine and dash and end up getting kicked out of the store by the owner.

She could almost see Si Jin sneering from the clouds: "You think you can spend my money?"

Upon realizing this, Gu Xiaoxiao felt as if struck by lightning, immediately becoming much more alert. She smiled apologetically at the sales assistant, "I'm sorry, I don't want any of these."

With the sales assistant's face contorted with murderous intent yet forced into a forced smile, Gu Xiaoxiao slunk out of the mall.

That evening, Gu Xiaoxiao placed the black card next to the lucky cat on her desk, turned on her computer, and started daydreaming. The cold light from the screen illuminated her wrinkled face, completely unaware of the pearly white hair that flashed past the blinds.

Old Mrs. Si, clutching her reading glasses, watched as the young girl, instead of squandering the black card, diligently went to work. "What a good girl," the old woman murmured, wiping her eyes as her jade bracelet jingled against the window frame.

"These days, there aren't many girls as beautiful as her who aren't vain," Old Madam Si sighed with emotion.

Just as Madam Si was feeling fortunate that Si Jin had met such a girl he liked, she heard a clear male voice coming from behind her.

"Sister Xiaoxiao!" Xiao Lin burst through the door, clutching a cup of coffee. "President Si asked me..." He was suddenly frozen in place by the old lady's sharp gaze.

In her panic, Gu Xiaoxiao knocked over a cactus. The young man instinctively reached out to catch it, and from the surveillance camera's angle, it looked as if he was holding her in his arms.

How could Madam Si tolerate this? Good heavens, this seemingly honest and upright young man is actually being so "caring" towards his granddaughter-in-law?

Who can bear this?

With trembling hands, Madam Si dialed the HR department: "Find three female assistants for Si Jin! Now! Immediately!"

When Si Jin, who had just received the news, entered the conference room clutching an urgent document from the HR department, Gu Xiaoxiao was tiptoeing to change the projector bulb.

The morning light shone through her chiffon blouse, outlining half of a swaying silver chain at her lower back—the tuxedo accessory he had personally fastened at last week's celebration party.

Si Jin suddenly felt that Madam Si's suggestion might be a good one.

At least this way, he might have more time to spend with Gu Xiaoxiao, and Gu Xiaoxiao could learn about him from the little things in life and secretly fall in love with him.

Then I can casually mention that I happen to be looking for a marriage partner, and maybe Gu Xiaoxiao will volunteer herself!

Once Si Jin understood this, she immediately perked up and raised her voice several decibels.

"Effective immediately, Gu Xiaoxiao will be transferred from her original position." He tapped the document with his fingers, his gaze sweeping over the suddenly frozen figure in the corner. "Her main responsibilities include..."

The glass curtain wall reflected Gu Xiaoxiao's staggering figure, and coffee stains seeped into dark brown marks on the beige carpet.

This is a scene from the original story where Si Jin takes the initiative to request a new assistant. In the original story, Si Jin is tired of the original owner's excessive entanglement, so she wants to find an assistant who won't get in the way.

Si Jin turned her pinky ring, suppressing the curve of her lips, and continued to circle the terms with her pen: "Daily itinerary check, personal clothing laundry, residential security system maintenance."

The HR director adjusted his glasses: "Mr. Si, these aren't within Secretary Gu's job scope, are they? Those are for personal assistants, things that Xiao Lin used to do, and it's high-achieving students like Secretary Gu who do those. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

“Her professional skills are too poor; a personal assistant would be more suitable for her.” Si Jin suddenly raised her voice, and was pleased to hear the sound of a folder falling to the ground from behind.

On the monitor screen, Gu Xiaoxiao was squatting on the ground frantically picking up the information of the applicants for assistant positions, including the female lead Su Nanyi's.

Just as the old lady stormed into the CEO's office, Si Jin had just pressed the special approval button on the OA system. Her pearl bracelet slammed onto the sandalwood table: "You scoundrel! How could you transfer Xiaoxiao to handle laundry and cooking?"

"She's a personal assistant." He casually turned his chair, revealing Gu Xiaoxiao on the screen carrying a box of cacti to her new workstation. "30% salary increase, 24/7 availability."

"You're going to work yourself to death..." The old lady suddenly stopped, narrowing her eyes suspiciously. "Wait, you just said twenty-four hours?"

The shrewd old lady immediately understood, and with a knowing smile, she whispered in Si Jin's ear, "Oh dear, I'm getting old, I don't understand the way you young people pursue people. But I only have one request! You can't get her pregnant before the wedding, or the wedding photos will be awful!"

Si Jin rolled her eyes helplessly. "Grandma, is your grandson the kind of scoundrel who's blinded by lust?"

"You can't judge a book by its cover. What if you want to rise in status through your son?" Old Madam Si glanced at Si Jin disapprovingly.

Si Jin laughed and began to dismiss the old lady, saying, "Your health hasn't been very good lately, so please go back and rest. Don't worry about such unimportant things all day."

Before Madam Si could say anything more, Si Jin got up and left, completely ignoring her presence.

As Si Jin passed Gu Xiaoxiao, who was picking up documents, she reminded her again, "I need to see Assistant Gu's shirt ironing guide by 8 PM tonight."

Gu Xiaoxiao said there was no problem, but she was inwardly distressed. In the original story, the scheming girl was relegated to the logistics department by Si Jin, and was actually turned into a life assistant.

Gu Xiaoxiao, who thought she would want to work in the elderly care department for a long time, could only continue to play the role of the original owner's vain persona for the time being, and then see how the plot unfolds, taking it one step at a time.

As dusk settled over the cubicles, Gu Xiaoxiao stared blankly at the smart wardrobe. Si Jin's shirts, arranged by color, floated in the transparent compartment like soldiers lined up awaiting inspection. She tiptoed to reach for the obsidian cufflinks on the top shelf, when suddenly she was enveloped by the scent of cedarwood wafting from behind her.

"Silly." Si Jin held her hand and pressed the fingerprint lock. The clothes on the hanger slowly descended to the same height as Gu Xiaoxiao.

"This is a smart clothes rail, I designed it to your height." Si Jin quickly took a half step back, letting the automatic iron lower itself. "Starting tomorrow, come to the apartment at seven o'clock every day to prepare breakfast."

As Si Jin left, she felt that she had been incredibly thoughtful, and that Gu Xiaoxiao would surely be moved by her heartwarming design.

On the contrary, Gu Xiaoxiao cursed inwardly, "What the hell? What do you mean by an automatic clothes hanger designed according to my height? Did you already plan to make me your free babysitter?"

The next morning, Gu Xiaoxiao applied exaggerated false eyelashes in front of the makeup mirror. She specially changed into a trending "battle outfit" from Taobao, with a platinum lapel pin she'd swiped from Si Jin's pen holder adorning the lace collar. Suddenly, an email popped up on her phone from the HR department—[Su Nanyi, 23 years old, Ivy League Master's degree, specially hired by Madam Si...]

"Oh no." Her hand trembled, and eyelash glue smeared across half her eye. "How come this year's female lead is so highly educated?"

Footsteps echoed from the break room, and Gu Xiaoxiao grabbed her lipstick to touch up her makeup. Suddenly, Si Jin's gloomy face appeared in the mirror, his fingertips still adorned with the false eyelashes that Gu Xiaoxiao had accidentally shed.

"Are you going to ascend the throne? Why are you dressed like this?" He ripped off the feather hair ornament from her temple, but then noticed the mark left by the lapel pin on Gu Xiaoxiao's collar. "Dressed like this..." His Adam's apple bobbed, and he inexplicably picked up the sequin from her lips. "Is your lover among the interviewers?"
