Chapter Fifty-Nine: Our Chairman is Aloof as Ever Today (1/2)
At YL Corporation.
Yan Jin arrived at his company half an hour early as usual.
“Good morning, chairman.” “Chairman, morning.” “Morning, Chairman Yan.” “Chairman Yan.”
Yan Jin received multiple greetings from his employees as he walked from the front desk to the elevator lobby. He acknowledged all of them with a nod as he walked steadily to the elevator that was specially designated for the chairperson under the crowd’s gaze.
No one noticed a pointy little head with two erect grey-colored ears, cautiously popping out from Yan Jin’s jacket pocket. It looked around its surroundings before it got pushed back by the expressionless Yan Jin who had sensed him.
Our Chairman is aloof as ever today, the employees agreed unanimously.
However, as the woman who was the closest to Yan Jin in this company, Secretary Fang felt that their chairman seemed a little different than usual.
For example, there was a gaudy-looking package on their chairman’s work desk today. It looked like one of those junk food packages. But then again, Chairman Yan would never eat such snacks.
In addition to that, she may have seen the pocket of Yan Jin’s jacket move when she was giving her morning report earlier.
At that moment, Secretary Fang was still in the middle of giving her report, and she couldn’t help but pause when she saw that. Later, she braced herself as she continued reporting under the chairman’s doubtful gaze.
When she was leaving the office, Secretary Fang raised her head and took another look. That was the moment when her 1.0 vision (with the help of her spectacles) clearly saw a pair of unknown objects hooking onto the edge of that pocket.
H-Haunted?
Haunted in broad daylight?
Too bad that single moment was too short. Before Secretary Fang could show any reaction on time, the door closed as she exited the office.
Pong.
The not-so-dull sound of the closing door, thumped heavily against Secretary Fang’s heart. She still had lingering fears as she recalled the eerie scene that she had saw earlier. Then, she suddenly remembered that weird and incomprehensible psychic she met during the holidays. That person gave her two pieces of cinnabar talisman which were probably in the bag that she brought to work today…
In the office, Yan Jin sighed in relief after he saw Secretary Fang leave. He began speaking:
“It’s okay now, you can come out.”
The slight bulge on his chest pocket shook before a little head popped out from it.
“Squeakk.”
Xiao Yu depended on his own strength to flop out from the pocket, landing onto Yan Jin’s right hand that was already prepared to catch him.
Bloop.
Successfully landing on four limbs, Xiao Yu straighten his legs as he attempted to stand up. Who would have guessed that Yan Jin would suddenly make it difficult for him, manipulating the hamster with his nimble hands to involuntarily put him into a lying position on Yan Jin’s palm.
Before Xiao Yu could understand what Yan Jin was trying to do, the hand that was wrapped around him began its next course of action.
Squeeze.
Yan Jin gave Xiao Yu a weak squeeze as he used his palm and fingers to secure the hamster’s waist, he then used his thumb and rubbed against the little stomach.
“Squeakkkk!!!” It’s too itchy, help!!!
Xiao Yu screamed tragically.
When Yan Jin had enough fun and placed Xiao Yu onto the desk, the hamster felt like a scrapped hamster.
He laid back with all four limbs spread out as he panted heavily.
After a short while, Xiao Yu calmed down as he flipped over with difficulty and stared grudgingly at the main culprit.
However, Yan Jin at this moment was sitting upright as he began to settle his work in a regular manner.
It was as if nothing had happened earlier.
“Squeakkk!” Xiao Yu grumbled in dissatisfaction with his fur sticking out in all directions.
“Fishy, knock it off. I’m working.” Yan Jin spoke seriously for once as he concentrated his gaze on the computer screen.
Xiao Yu felt extremely depressed; extremely, extremely depressed.
However, he really wouldn’t dare to interrupt Yan Jin, who was in work mode.
Without a choice, Xiao Yu walked to a corner as he pitifully smoothed the messy fur on his stomach.
Five minutes later, in the quiet chairman’s office, Yan Jin was working as Xiao Yu played his game. They did not affect one another and were surprisingly harmonious.
Yet, such harmony only lasted for an hour.
To protect his eyes and lower back, for every hour that Yan Jin worked, he should exercise his neck and bones.
That was the first time that Yan Jin ever faced up to the advice that Chu Ge gave him. He also decided that he should keep up with this ‘wonderful’ habit from today onwards.
It just so happened that there was a readily available ‘exercise equipment’ right here at that moment.
“Squeak?”
“SqueakkkK!!!!!”
The ‘exercise equipment’ screamed tragically.
……
The fourth time, when Xiao Yu saw Yan Jin letting go of the mouse, the hamster coldly waited for the chairman’s hand to approach. Then, right when the fingers were in front of his eyes, he opened his mouth without the slightest hesitation, and bit!
“Tch.” Yan Jin resentfully released his hand.
“What are you doing?!” Xiao Yu typed angrily.
“Hm…” Yan Jin hesitated for a moment before he answered: “Deepening our relationship.”
Haha.
Xiao Yu watched Yan Jin sarcastically. He had already understood that the reason Yan Jin repeatedly tortured him was purely a form of relaxation after dealing with his heavy workload.
Do not underestimate Xiao Yu just because he was just a designer. His job scope involved some typical work matters. When one added ‘chief’ in front of their title, Xiao Yu was considered to be one of the core members of the company. Even if he was not directly involved in major projects, he would have seen someone working on it before. He had witnessed Yan Jin working for the entire morning and his workload would be impossible for anyone else to handle. Seeing how Yan Jin had finished all that in the early morning, his capabilities were undeniable. As well as…
Xiao Yu suspected that this was the result after Yan Jin had violated him every hour.
The answer was affirmative.
Even Yan Jin did not expect that the result from this ‘spiritual food’ would be so effective. He had not even asked his secretary to get him coffee the entire morning, yet he was still able to maintain this energetic state.
That was to his liking.
