Chapter 126- Side story (3)

After graduating from university, Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi officialized their relationships with their girlfriends. Then they were both ‘coaxed’ into joining their company as personal secterties in name.

Why ‘in-name’ you ask? Well, have you ever seen a secretary whose job is to eat lunch with the boss, sleep in the arms of the boss, and beside your boss everywhere they go? They are neither relatives who came in the back door or boss and employee in a scandalous relationship, as relatives would never kiss in front of each other all the time and sprinkle dog food on the people below!

The company’s group chat was updated everyday.

#The CEO is kissing her secretary again!#

#The CFO and her secretary skipped work#

#What’s going on with our other two bosses? They keep visiting each other’s offices every day. They’re obviously right next door to each other, why can’t they just call each other??*

Subordinates: The management of our company is always on strike from work. I also want to strike too, hurry, waiting for answers online!

“Let go, let go.” Gu Anran slapped the arm that was still wrapped around her waist.

“What’s wrong? Baby.” Mu Qingli, who was reviewing the official documents with one hand, held a soft and fragrant body in her other hand. She was currently enjoying the pleasure of the overbearing CEO.

“When I first joined, you told me that the company did not have the money to buy a desk for me so I would have to share with you. It has been several years now, where is the desk you said that you ordered for me? Is it made of gold or something, why is it taking so long?” Gu Anran squeezed Mu Qingli’s cheeks and pulled them to the sides without feeling an ounce of guilt.

“Babei, itz harts (Baby, it hurts).” Mu Qingli looked up pitifully, blinking her slightly reddish eyes up at Gu Anran.

Ugh….Every time she faces this pitiful appearance of Mu Qingli, she always let go. Even though she knew that it was a lie…she couldn’t bear it! Arghhhh!

“Hehe.” Of course, Mu Qingli knew all about Gu Anran’s inner conflict , but she still used this trick every time! She can’t help it, Anran’s conflicted appearance is just too cute and it makes her want to tease the little cutie so much! Hehehe!

(Little theater interlude:

Gu Anran: So that’s how it is?!! Get away from me!

Mu Qingli: Baby, how can you believe the words of the unscrupulous author? You see her lying over there? Even the heavens knew that she was lying and thus she was struck by lightning.

Gu Anran put on a doubtful face: Really?

Mu Qingli nodded seriously: Of course.

The author twitching on the ground: Hateful….)

“Anran, I booked a reservation at a delicious Japanese restaurant today. Let’s go there together.” Mu Qingli pinched Gu Anran’s cheek.

“We can go, but you have to…..finish these tasks first….” Gu Anran pointed to the mountains and seas worth of documents on the table. This is due to a certain someone’s laziness and desire and the result of some bad procrastination.

“I’ll leave this for Mengyan. I believe she’ll be able to handle this perfectly.” Mu Qingli smiled, not feeling even an ounce of guilt about pushing her best friend into the fire pits.

“You did that last time, and remember what happened?” Gu Anran asked unhappily.

“This…” Mu Qingli could say nothing.

Last time Mu Qingli pushed her work to Mengyan with the excuse that she wanted to go to the hot springs with Anran. Coincidentally, Chi Mengyan also used this same excuse to push work onto Mu Qingli and to convince Hong Qingyi to skip work that day. In the end….should she say they have an affinity with each other? Or that this was an ill-fated friendship? They bumped into each other at the same hot springs and then….well….

“Finish your work obediently. I’m going out for a walk.” Gu Anran said and jumped off of Mu Qingli’s legs. Although it was fun to sit in Mu Qingli’s lap, she still felt a little uncomfortable after sitting there for a long time. Her body felt stiff and she stretched his waist and walked out of the office while ignoring Mu Qingli’s puppy dog eyes.

Awoooooo! For the sake of a date, I’ll fight to the death! Mu Qingli roared in her heart and got to work.

“Ha…” Gu Anran yawned as she came out of the office. Although she was named the secretary of the CEO and she still had some decision-making power, it was basically a useless role. The main reason being that Gu Anran had no interest in giving orders, and she would rather be playing video games instead.

“Anran!”

“Yo, Anran, the President is finally willing to let you out?”

Turning the corner, the other employees waved at her from their desks. Although Mu Qingli and the others had built a company that launched arguably the most innovative game ever, the manpower needed to sustain it was less than 20 people. Most of the employees here were students from the same university who were dragged here by Mu Qingl and the others. Most of them were the elite of the elite in their fields.

Most of the newcomers alsos learned things quickly and were quite efficient. Not to mention, since most were elites in their fields, they had several connections with important people outside of the company. Should she say that Mu QIngli is lucky or a visionary? She had found so many good employees with such good personalities, the only flaw was that they liked to gossip too much…

“Hurry up and get to work, otherwise don’t even think about getting off of work today.” Gu Anran snorted coldy.

“Whaaaa, Little Ran is as cute as ever!” An employee several years older than her, who was formerly one of Mu Qingli’s classmates, said. Her name is Li Feiya, and even Gu Anran had to respectfully call her Fei-jie.

“F-Fei-jie! Let me go!” Gu Anran struggled in Li Feiya’s hug. Li Feiya is a very nice, gentle and enthusiastic person but she really liked to….almost suffocate Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi to death with her tight chest hugs. Hong Qingyi and Gu Anran are the youngest here, and then there are the four founders, but who dares hugs the founders? No one! So Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi, despite their ‘beautiful’ faces, were considered to be very cute by the employees~ They were basically the company’s default mascots! (Gu Anran flips a table: I don’t want to be a mascot! Damn this terrible D-cup!)

“Feiya….Little Ran is suffocating….” A man with some conscience said.

“Oops! Little Ran, are you still alive?” Li Feiya asked and patted Anran’s cheek lightly.

“I’m dying…” Gu Anran said weakly as she gulped for breath. From the corner of her eyes she saw Hong Qingyi who was trying to quietly tiptoe past, “Hong Qingyi, you stop right there!” Since Hong Qingyi saw she was dying yet didn’t try to help, might as well die together!

#What to do if your bosses are always trying to hurt each other?#

The group of employees smiled and watched the two mascots fighting each other.

“What are you doing?” Hong Qingyi, who was grabbed by Gu Anran, tried to twist out of her grasp.

“Hmph, how dare you sneak off on your own!” Gu Anran, feeling a deep resentment, pinched Hong Qingyi’s cheek harshly.

“Who was it that threw me directly into Fei-jie’s arms last time and then ran away by herself? And you have the face to scold me?” Hong Qingyi muttered and slapped away Gu Anran’s arm.

“Let’s go, I had Mengyan make a reservation for me at the spicy hot pot restaurant from last time!”

“Spicy hot pot? Go, go, go, hurry up and go!” Hearing the words ‘spicy hot pot’, Gu Anran’s eyes lit up, and immediately forgot all the things she had just done. She pulled on Hong Qingyi’s arm and the two rushed out together.

Everyone who was left behind: Ooooh? Where’s the promised drama? Why did the show end before it began?!!

One 20 minute drive later, the two of them arrived at the restaurant. This is a cheap and regular spicy hot pot restaurant, but the soup is very delicious and it warms the body and stomach. The price is not expensive yet the ingredients are very good. Overall, the business was very good here.

When they walked in, there were a lot of people eating and the two happily sat down in the booth reserved for them. After ordering many dishes, they began to eat happily.

“My, you are a fine pair of lovely young ladies.” Suddenly a few young men, who thought of themselves as very handsome men, smiled and came over.

Hong Qingyi and Gu Anran, who were focused on the ingredients in the pot that have been cooked and ready to be enjoyed, stopped their movements and looked at each other. They almost rolled their eyes at the young men.

Due to the success of Mu Qingli’s company, there were many who approached them for their own greedy agendas. However, the big four founders were out of reach of these people and so many of them turned their sights on the seemingly ordinary Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi. Other than trying to make ‘friends’ with them, there were some who tried to confess their love to them! Please, your thoughts are too strong, I can see them on your faces! Do you think we’re fools?

“How may I help you?” Gu Anran said with a smile.

“It’s such a coincidence to meet you two young ladies here, would you like to have a meal together? My treat!” The leading man with dyed red hair smiled and he didn’t seem to notice the disgust in their eyes.

“No thank you, we have our own money.” Hong Qingyi grabbed a spoon of rice while exuding an air of ‘Hurry up and leave already! You’re disturbing our meal!’

However, it’s a pity, but this person had already worked up the courage to talk to them. That meant they were very thick-skinned. He beckoned the owner over.

“Guests, is anything the matter?” The shop owner was an old man in his seventies or eighties. He looked rather frightened at these few customers who looked like important people he could not offend.

“Boss, put this table on my tab.” The man said proudly.

“U-Understood, I’ll just….” Before the boss finished speaking, he was interrupted by two voices.

“There’s no need.”

“No Need!”

Who knows when they had arrived, but it turned out to be Mu Qingli and Chi Mengyan.

“Oh, so it’s President Mu and Financial Head Chi…” The man was interrupted by Mu Qingli before she could finish.

“Mr. Lu, right? We’re having a meal right now, so can we ask you to leave?” Although it was a question, it sounded more like an order.

“Alright, we’ll leave.” Since the other party has made their intentions clear, if he keeps pushing, he would only lose face. He rubbed his nose, taking one last look at Mu Qingli before leaving.

“Baby, why didn’t you invite me?” Mu Qingli hugged Gu Anran’s waist sadly and said in an aggrieved tone.

Her stomach was rumbling with hunger while reading the documents. At first she thought Anran would get takeout for her, but then she talked to the employees and learned that ANran and Qingyi had happily went to eat hot pot.

Spicy hot pot vs Mu Qingli! Winner: Spicy hot pot~! (Mu Qingli: No! I refuse to acknowledge this outcome!)

Then she dragged Chi Mengyan with her over here only to see a few dogs circling her precious baby. Mu Qingli was so angry that she wished she could slap them into space.

No, this won’t do!

Mu Qingli and Chi Mengyan, who were both holding their respective girlfriends, looked at each other with only one meaning in their eyes……Must hurry and marry their wives home!
