Chapter Sixty-Four: The Misery Continues (1/2)
At the beginning of November, Yan Jin boarded the plane towards City H together with a few of his trusted aides.
Before the plane departed, Secretary Fang noticed that Yan Jin was still busy typing on his phone. A sense of crisis that could only be detected by a woman’s sixth sense began to arise.
“Chairman Yan, it’s best to switch off your mobile device now.”
“Alright. I’ll switch it off once I’m done with this sentence.”
“May I ask what you are doing, Chairman Yan?” Secretary Fang tried to probe, not expecting that she would get a response from Yan Jin.
However, because of Yan Jin’s pleasant mood at that moment, the chairman replied to her: “I got my friend to take care of my pet. Fishy can be a little playful, so my friend might have some problems dealing with him.”
Secretary Fang rubbed her temples.
How can it be possible for Chairman Yan to keep any pets? I’ve never heard of that before. It must be that little vixen who enticed Chairman Yan to keep it!
When the plane stabilized later, Secretary Fang released this piece of information to the chat group and instantly caused a wave of people to wail like ghosts and howl like wolves.
By the way, the chat group’s name was [24/7 Support Group for Chairman Yan].
“What kind of pet does Chairman Yan keep?”
“It’s called Fishy, so it’s most likely a cat.”
“Seems like I should bring my kitty to work next time.”
“Are you mad? The company rule states very clearly that pets are forbidden in the office. You don’t want your bonus anymore?”
“If I get to date Chairman Yan, a one-month bonus is nothing.”
And that was why on the first day back after Yan Jin had returned to YL when the Autumn Release Conference ended, he discovered a strange phenomenon. It seemed like during the time he was away from the company, there was a trend of employees bringing pets to the office. That caused many employees who were allergic to furs to suffer tremendously. The ‘kind and understanding’ Chairman Yan called for an emergency meeting, set up a room dedicated to pets, and established one day every month to be ‘Pet’s Day’. On that specific day, all employees could bring their pets to work on the condition that they must be placed in the pet room so that they would not affect other employees.
In addition, although rules were set by humans, every employee who broke the rule that day for bringing their pets to work had their one-month bonus deducted.
……
“Fishy, Fish bro, Master Fish.” Chu Ge was almost kneeling on the ground as he begged: “Please be magnanimous. Let’s take a shower and go eat, okay?”
Xiao Yu shook his head as he stepped on his bag of melon seeds, refusing to budge. He pointed at the words on his iPad:
“I don’t want to bathe.”
Two days ago, after seeking an opinion from Xiao Yu, Yan Jin told Chu Ge about his hamster’s ‘real identity’.
At that moment, Chu Ge’s brain only had one thought – between him and Yan Jin, someone must visit the psychiatrist.
Then, the doctor saw this master hamster switch on the iPad that had once belonged to him and start tapping away.
At that moment, Chu Ge suddenly recalled something that had happened a very long time ago – he felt that the worst mistake that he had ever done in his life, was probably provoking that seemingly reserved ‘good boy’ Yan Jin when he was eight years old.
He was then doomed for this tragedy over the next twenty years.
“Squeakk!!” Why are you dazing out!?
Xiao Yu patted Chu Ge’s sleeve discontentedly and received the doctor’s resentful gaze.
Xiao Yu felt a little speechless.
Really? Didn’t he accept my identity a few days ago? Aren’t demons and supernatural things really common nowadays?
No imagination at all. Hn.
If Chu Ge had known Xiao Yu’s thoughts, he probably would have taken a flight to City H and bawled in front of Yan Jin.
This was not about whether he had imagination or not! He was an atheist!
“Squeakk.” Why is there a need to shower when I don’t even leave the house?
When that sentence appeared on the iPad, Chu Ge actually agreed with it internally.
In the end, Chu Ge compromised with Xiao Yu on the bathing issue.
After all, aside from bathing, there were many other things to do. Before Yan Jin left, the chairman wrote an eight-page long list of things to note, neatly stating the arrangements for every single day. It was so detailed that it described what the hamster should be doing every twenty minutes. Chu Ge looked at the piled up papers and was deeply suspicious of whether Yan Jin’s own working schedule was that packed.
Yan Jin would be away for seven days. The seven days’ worth of scheduling took up seven pieces of paper. The last piece of paper only had one sentence – bear your own consequences.
What does he mean by ‘bear your own consequences’?
Chu Ge pondered about it for a while and came up with countless possibilities.
For example, he must not reveal the hamster master’s identity, otherwise bear his own consequences. Or maybe, take good care of the hamster master, otherwise bear his own consequences. Or perhaps, don’t goof off, otherwise bear his own consequences.
This strategy that Yan Jin planned was well-played. An unclear way of threatening was more terrifying than holding a knife to his neck.
Xiao Yu watched Chu Ge daze out again. He decided to ignore the doctor and opened his QQ.
Nannan had finished the final drawing. The results were quite good. Although it could not be compared to the results if Xiao Yu were to draw on his own, from a non-professional perspective, it could be considered a beautiful piece of work.
