Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Five: So It’s Okay (1/2)

Yan Jin had a beautiful dream.

In his dream, he successfully got his Fishy drunk.

Fishy, whose furry ears had popped out, was flushing red as his pale body laid on the snow-white bedsheets. He was sobbing and sniffling under him as he leaned forward to reward those dark red lips.

Then, he woke up.

……

The huge difference between reality and dream made Yan Jin dazedly stare at the familiar ceiling for a long time as he lay on his bed. After he repeatedly analyzed what had happened last night, why he was there, and where was Fishy, Yan Jin’s sight landed onto the pillow beside him.

He saw a hamster sleeping soundly.

This reasonable yet unexpected scene made Yan Jin recall the memories from last night.

Then, he let out a defeated sigh and used his hands to cover his eyes.

For all he had planned, never had he expect Xiao Yu to be such a good drinker.

The previous time when he saved Xiao Yu from the hotel, Yan Jin thought that the younger man was completely knocked out due to that bottle of vodka. However, from the current situation, it seemed that if Lin Zhou had not drugged him, that bottle of vodka may not even have affected Xiao Yu too much.

In fact, all that was not important at all. The main point was, he actually lost to his lover in terms of alcohol tolerance.

That was simply the darkest history of his entire life.

Yan Jin turned over and buried himself into the blanket.

Not too long later, he pulled the blanket down again and stared resentfully at the little fellow lying on the pillow.

Xiao Yu was sleeping soundly as a little bubble formed on his nose. It seemed like he was dreaming about some delicious food as he smacked his lips a few times.

If he were to describe Xiao Yu at the moment, he was simply too illegally adorable.

…… Oh well.

That was the hamster he chose, and he must accept it.

Even though he felt pity that he was not able to do those secret things in the end, this was not that bad too.

Chairman Yan closed his eyes helplessly as he fell into a deep slumber once again.

The handsome man slept beside the grey-furred hamster. Their heads were touching and even their faces had a similar touch of happiness.

This rare scene looked like it was made up.

At this moment, it was as if time had stopped. Even the rustling spring breeze was not willing to disturb this rarely seen setting. It quietly went away and left silence in the room and blocked the bustling noise outside the window.

The headache and discomfort from the hangover were not worth mentioning in this warm atmosphere. Time and work were also tossed to the back of their minds. As they fell into deep slumber, they both had one thought: to let this moment last longer.

The warm sunlight poured onto the human and hamster on the bed as the bedroom fell into silence.

It was beautiful, just like a fairytale.

……

It was 8.30 a.m. and the venue was the meeting room for YL’s senior executives.

“I don’t think the chairman is coming.” Secretary Fang pushed his spectacles as she spoke with a familiar certainty.

“Then let’s all take a day off, just like yesterday.” Shao Yue who always wished for the whole world to be in chaos was the first to comment.

“True, true.”

“Day off it is.”

Along with Shao Yue’s opinion, the people around him quickly expressed their agreement.

YL was a unique company. Before Yan Jin had taken over the company, it was like gold and jade on the exterior yet rotten and decayed on the inside. The shareholders were all idling and waiting for their fortune to be used up and their employees were all muddling through their work.

After Yan Jin had taken over YL, they had several major revamps. Not only were the shareholders changed to a new group of people, even the employees were all kicked out and new employees were hired to replace them.

Up till today, a majority of the employees were mostly people from the younger generation. Some were even employees with one to two years of work experience after they had graduated from university. There were not many in YL who were older than thirty-five years old. So, during meetings, the atmosphere was always lively. Only a handful of them were employees headhunted from other companies. Under the influence of the majority, they soon found themselves influenced by these youngsters and started to express their honest opinions.

For example, this design director who was headhunted over from SI. He was already in his fifties, but he did not seem like he was going to retire any time soon. He was radiating health and vigor and was not reserved like a senior employee would act at all. Immediately, he opposed the flow. “Day off? We can’t even finish our work on hand. We can survive without our chairman. Go back and do whatever you need to do.”

“Old Zhang, don’t say that. We should live life happily while we can.” Shao Yue replied.

“Live life my ass. A week’s worth of work is not going to decrease. You can live your happy life yourself. Our department is staying back to finish our contracts.”

Shao Yue grumbled, “Yet our chairman isn’t here…”

“Can you be compared to Chairman Yan? He can finish your three days worth of work in one day.”

Indeed, the week’s worth of work that had to be done would just be arranged a week in advance. No matter what holiday it was, the work that needed to be done would not be less. If they were to take a day off, they would need to come back on the weekends to complete it. Aside from a workaholic like Yan Jin, there were not many who would mess up their work arrangement.

Shao Yue had nothing to say.

“May I interrupt,” Secretary Fang adjusted her spectacles again. “I’m not asking for everyone’s opinion.”

She waved the thumb drive in her hand and spoke unhurriedly. “Chairman already informed me last night that if he could not come to work for the next two days, he will inform everyone of this week’s outline conclusion and next week’s arrangement.”
