Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 439 Heartless in a CEO Novel (19)

"Xingxing, I've brought Niannian to see you!" Xia Youmi's words made the large dog in the yard twitch its ears, then it got up, shook off the grass clippings, and walked over with a calm gait.

"Woof woof!" Nian Nian greeted him warmly.

"Woof." Although Xingxing was a little cold, she still responded to Niannian. Just that one bark was enough to move the zookeeper not far away to tears. At least he got his year-end bonus.

Xia Youmi closed the small gate to the yard and untied Niannian's leash, letting the two of them play.

Nian Nian is a very energetic baby who is curious about everything around her.

After communicating with it for a few days, Xingxing regained some of its vitality. At least, when Nian Nian encountered a toy it didn't know how to play with, Xingxing would demonstrate it to it.

However, before letting them interact, Xia Youmi gave them some urgent training. Xingxing is an unneutered adult dog, while Niannian's health and age are not yet at that stage.

She was afraid that if she was not in a good physical condition, she would be subjected to forced sexual intercourse.

Xia Youmi repeatedly reminded Niannian not to be careless, and added a small coat for cover. At the same time, Xia Youmi or Yu Li kept an eye on them while they played.

Making friends is fine, but playing around is not.

Every year, she took the initiative to suggest that she go and enlighten the stars, which also reflects her desire to explore the unknown.

Can that physiological orientation, which is not under the control of the mind, be overcome by a spotted dog with a systemic soul?

After confirming that animals can communicate, Niannian became interested in learning languages. She would often ask Xingxing questions while coaxing her to complete her daily exercise.

The star's status will increase as the difficulty of the questions increases each year.

Occasionally, she would get so angry that she would spin around in circles and dig in the dirt to vent her frustration, but she would resign herself to her fate under the onslaught of Nian Nian's clear and bright gaze.

Simultaneously,

It also comes with a set of survival tips.

Sometimes I'll synchronize with Youmi every year so she can also experience the wonder of creation.

Yu Li stayed for five days and was supposed to return to Yu City. With Shao Yunshen's permission, he was left alone every year to accompany Xia Youmi.

After seeing the person off.

Xia Youmi suddenly felt the prying gaze disappear.

She'd had a feeling for the past few days, but hadn't told Yu Li. It was that whenever they were together as a couple, there were always people staring at them at a seemingly insignificant frequency.

They controlled the pace very well, and even though they carefully explored the area every year, they couldn't pinpoint their target from the vast park.

However, a candidate has been chosen.

It's nothing more than the main characters: Shao Yunshen, Mu Yongqing, Jin Shunmei, and the big fish this time.

The big fish, also known as the head of the Yu family.

Listed as the most troublesome person in the early stages, he is the common enemy of Shao, Mu, and Bao. However, he is backed by an official association, and his character is complex and redundant. Although there is internal strife, he is very domineering to outsiders.

this time,

They sent out a young, upstart CEO named Yu to consolidate their power.

The reason is quite valid: Baojia's past money laundering business relied heavily on the association's assistance.

Now, it makes no sense for Mu Yongqing, the actual controlling shareholder of Baoqing, to take it all. He is not a direct descendant of the Bao family who has received favors, and there is no one else in the Bao family who can offer benefits.

Furthermore, faced with the increasingly younger demographic, established chambers of commerce are not naive; they haven't stood idly by or tried to stop it. Instead, they've attempted to select outstanding successors from the most loyal families within the association to uphold traditional values ​​and develop the industry.

It's not worth it if it's just a minor incident.

So, they targeted the Bao family, who had conveniently received favors from them, and who had also conveniently passed away one after another, all of whom had risen to the top ranks in Baoshi. It was practically the perfect springboard.

They knew that Mu Yongqing, the son-in-law of the Bao family, was not an incompetent person.

The association made thorough preparations, arranging for its member companies to visit in turn.

While gathering information, they also worked to improve their intelligence on the Bao family.

They tormented Mu Yongqing, leaving him no time to react.

Finally, when Mr. Yu came with sincerity to acquire the company, even the toughest nuts had to give way to the association members. They've been using this tactic for centuries to establish such a large-scale presence in China.

There's no reason why a middle-aged son-in-law with an unstable foundation could withstand the impact.

But no one could have predicted that Shao Yunshen would interfere.

He is indeed a tough nut to crack.

This perfectly aligns with Mu Yongqing's envisioned development direction. If the two of them succeed in joining forces, the association's goals may not be achieved so easily.

This is a situation that no one except Shenta and Baoqing wants to see.

Including Bao Yiyi's most loyal subordinates.

This is also why Shao Yunshen's trip took so long. He had already delayed his arrival, but he still couldn't wait for the association's rotation to end, so he had to change his strategy.

Just because the big fish didn't swim into the pond doesn't mean we can't lay out a net.

If you treat the other party as a target, it's normal for them to turn you into a weak point.

Xia Youmi and Niannian didn't get to the bottom of things until Xiao Yu's team arrived. It was both the climax and the end. She knew that the gaze she was being secretly watched was purely personal.

It's far from being included in the main conspiracy storyline.

But even the smallest shrimp in the river cannot be ignored before the truth comes to light.

......

Outside the penthouse suite.

"Ding-dong-"

"Knock Knock-"

"Come in first." Shao Yunshen opened the door and saw that Xia Youmi was the only one there. He stepped aside to let her walk in first, and then inadvertently took in the scene outside the corridor.

The originally relaxing and comfortable living room of the suite was transformed into a study by Shao Yunshen.

Or, more accurately, an office space.

He didn't smoke, and those he talked to wouldn't smoke indoors either. Those of lower status would naturally ask, and even those of higher status would be pointed out to him publicly by Shao Yunshen.

Losing face and getting lectured.

If you try to argue with him, Shao Yunshen will simply announce that he's not going to talk and walk away.

It's unclear for now whose loss it will be. Acting as things stand, even if the person who insisted on smoking in front of him initially had the upper hand, they can't catch up later.

Even if you missed out on a ride with Shenta, there will always be others who can get on board.

By then,

Just the spittle from your peers kicking you when you're down is enough to make you stub out your cigarette.

The hidden reasons behind this remain unknown, but Shao Yunshen's actions at least pleased all the women around him. This time, that actually included Xia Youmi.

"Please sit down!"

"Thank you, Mr. Shao!"

"How are you feeling?" Shao Yunshen asked simply as he brewed tea.

Xia Youmi looked around and replied, "You have good taste."

"Specifically referring to the smell?" Shao Yunshen's smile remained unchanged, seemingly certain that Xia Youmi's true answer was this.

"Not entirely."

Xia Youmi did not completely hand over the reins to Shao Yunshen.

This was almost their first private conversation apart from their encounter in the elevator, and Shao Yunshen displayed a completely different kind of affability. He was adept at creating the illusion that they were old, close friends.

Fortunately, Xia Youmi's understanding of his identity as the male lead was very clear.

They will not be truly misled by perceptions and thus become friends with Shao Yunshen.

"Haha, Secretary Xia is a very interesting person. She often has a highly sensitive intuition that is beyond the normal range of humans." Shao Yunshen generously pointed out Xia Youmi's caution towards him.

"Hehe." A fake smile to protect himself.

It's really not Xia Youmi's fault. The male lead's attitude towards her went beyond the level of exploitation expected in the original story; it wasn't naive enough. He was indeed using his secretary's value as a woman, but behind closed doors, he was probably an extremely cold person.

However, Xia Youmi's repeated displays of friendliness were clearly a manifestation of a desire to conquer.

This makes one reflect on what exactly is the problem with attraction? There are plenty of people who treat him coldly, and now everyone knows that being more enthusiastic doesn't necessarily mean being more popular; it's the opposite.

She asked herself, during the time she had been Shao Yunshen's secretary, she had seen all sorts of women, covering almost every personality group, except for the strong and unyielding grassroots woman like the female protagonist.

But I never had this perception when those qualities were displayed.

Shao Yunshen stared intently, making no attempt to hide what he wanted from you, something unrelated to career or money.

"Thank you!" Xia Youmi picked up the teacup and sniffed it; Shao Yunshen was quite skilled at brewing tea.

"You're welcome. I've had my fair share of tea brewed by Secretary Xia, but it's still not as good as yours."

"You flatter me." Xia Youmi smiled modestly again.

"Hahaha!"

But this time, Shao Yunshen inexplicably laughed, as if he had seen something amusing. He just laughed like that, watching as Xia Youmi's arm drooped slightly with confusion, and then forcibly pulled back to the standard position.

If you consider her a robot, she also has a real side.

But reality will never choose to open up to him, what a pity.

“Secretary Xia, I called you here not for work-related issues. It’s because President Shao of Baoqing has once again privately asked me to switch jobs.” Shao Yunshen’s eyes still held a smile. “However, of course I won’t miss such a good helper. But President Shao also said, could you part with your little dog?”

"impossible."

"I wasn't planning to ask you first, if..."

"Please help me refuse, Mr. Shao. As long as I'm safe, I'll stand up and bow!" Xia Youmi stood up and bowed.
