The boss is not honest when sleeping

"Xiaohong, I only have three thousand yuan left. If you take it all, I'll starve to death..."

"I don't care if you starve to death. You'd better jump off the building right now and give me the money!"

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Zhao Xiaohong angrily opened the door and saw Lei Ting.

She froze, instantly regretting her impulsiveness.

Was Ji Yuzheng testing her? His bodyguard was already here...

Zhao Xiaohong was a bit confused.

"Uh, you're here for..."

Lei Ting said fiercely, "I'm here to collect money. The money for hiring me and my brother yesterday hasn't been paid yet."

Zhao Xiaohong took a deep breath, completely despairing.

Even the money for hiring people was on credit.

Could there be anything more shameless than this?

Chen Xiao weakly said, "Xiaohong, can you pay for me first? I'm afraid he'll hit me..."

Zhao Xiaohong rolled her eyes.

She didn't want to see Chen Xiao's face for another minute. She grabbed her bag, gritted her teeth, and walked out, leaning on the wall.

"Dream on, Ji Yuzheng, you just wait! If you're not beaten to death today, I'll still come to settle the score with you!"

Chen Xiao shouted towards the door, "Hey, hey, hey, don't leave! Don't you want the money?"

There was no response from outside the door.

Lei Ting changed his simple-minded expression and smiled, "Boss, I played it pretty well, didn't I?"

Chen Xiao handed him a cigarette, "It was passable. Not as professional as you are as a bodyguard."

Lei Ting scratched his head, "Hehe, that's true, that's true."

"Let's go. The interest has been recovered. I feel good."

Although Chen Xiao hadn't slept all night, he felt refreshed at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Lei Ting realized that things were indeed not simple.

They went downstairs, checked out at the front desk, and proactively paid for the stained bedsheets. Chen Xiao and Lei Ting walked out of the Hotel.

Across the street, Zhao Xiaohong stood by the roadside. Soon, a Passat arrived. She glanced at Chen Xiao, then ducked and got in.

Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly.

That was Xing Yanqing's car!

"That son of a bitch, they were indeed hooking up early on!"

He thought about it again and felt something was off.

Son of a bitch? Wasn't that cursing himself?

"Pfft!"

"Back to the company!"

...

Sitting in the office, Chen Xiao finished reading today's hidden information and assigned the work tasks before feeling a hint of drowsiness.

He had exercised intensely for two hours yesterday and hadn't slept all night, so he was struggling to stay awake.

He leaned back on the sofa and dozed off.

Chen Xiao slept soundly, having that familiar dream again, his hands full of sweet cotton candy, soft and warm.

This time, there were also soft murmurs and gentle rubbing sounds in his ears, but he couldn't make out what they were.

It wasn't until the sun set that Chen Xiao slowly woke up.

"Bo-boss, you're awake?"

Chen Xiao was startled, sat up, and saw that it was Lin Yanran.

"Hmm? Why are you here?"

"Su Tang Ge told me to come and take care of you. She had something to attend to..."

Chen Xiao nodded, "Are your legs numb from being pressed?"

"No, no."

"Hmm, that's good. Also... your work uniform needs to be neat. What happened to the wrinkles on the front of your shirt?"

Lin Yanran's pretty face flushed slightly, "I, I'll go out and tidy it up."

Then she limped out of the office.

Chen Xiao moved to the office chair, watching the infinitely beautiful sunset in the sky.

Su Tang, who had just finished her work, saw Lin Yanran running out in a panic and immediately called out, "Yanran, didn't I tell you to take care of the boss? Why are you running out?"

"Su, President Su, the boss is awake."

"Oh, he's awake. You've worked hard. How did the boss sleep?"

"He slept very well." Then Lin Yanran's pretty face flushed, "It, it's just... his hands weren't very well-behaved..."

Su Tang agreed deeply, "Well, that, that's certainly true."

Lin Yanran's small mouth slightly opened, "Su Tang Ge, you know too?"

Su Tang paused, then scolded, "Ah? Cough cough... Hurry up and get back to your work. What are you thinking about all day with that little head of yours!"

"Oh."

...

Soon, Su Tang knocked and entered.

"Boss, you're awake?"

"Hmm, anything?"

"Oh, nothing much. Just wanted to report today's results to you."

Chen Xiao straightened up a bit, "Alright, tell me."

Su Tang opened the folder and said, "Yesterday, both teams worked simultaneously. The Wang Peng Xiao Xu team's overall equity ratio was two percentage points lower than the new team, and their selling price was 0.2 percentage points higher."

"The new team absorbed a total capital of 52.35 million yuan, with a profit of 3.92 million yuan. The Wang Peng Xiao Xu team was 67.90 million yuan, with a profit of 6.60 million yuan."

"Total profit is 10.52 million yuan."

"Hmm, very good. Wang Peng Xiao Xu are still excellent. The new team needs to speed up their integration," Chen Xiao said.

"Yes, Boss."

"The Jingyuan Ecological you instructed today has already completed its position building. We're just waiting for the market to open next Monday."

"You've worked hard. Go home and rest early."

"Mm-hmm." Su Tang responded, then asked, "Bo-boss, what do you think of Lin Yanran?"

"Huh? What do you mean, 'what do I think'? She's very good."

"Oh, I see. Goodbye, Boss."

"Bye, goodbye."

Chen Xiao was completely baffled. What was going on?

Back in the dorm, Xiao Ji, who was playing a game, immediately put down his computer and turned around.

He uncharacteristically offered Chen Xiao a cigarette and lit it for him.

"Xiao Ge, you're awesome! A girl in a sports car picked you up. What's her background, holy cow?"

"Hey, a friend was just joking."

"Awesome. If you get a chance, introduce me to friends like that too."

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Friends like that aren't so easy to meet. They're all rich women, hard to please."

"Why are rich women hard to please? I think they're fine."

Chen Xiao was stunned. This kid, did he want to take it easy?

"Cough cough, maybe someday."

"Don't forget, Xiao Ge."

"Mm-hmm, where's Liu Xin?"

"I don't know. He's been pulling out a lot of hair these past two days. Who knows what he's been up to."

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then you keep playing."

"Uh, Xiao Ge, please don't forget about the rich women thing."

"..." Chen Xiao.

"I can't."

...

Walking out of the dorm, Chen Xiao called Liu Xin.

"Hello? Where are you?"

"At Xuelin Yayuan. Are you coming?"

Hearing that he was at Xuelin Yayuan, Chen Xiao felt relieved.

"I just got back. I'm not going."

"If you're not coming, then forget it. Goodbye."

...

After hanging up, Chen Xiao lay on his bed, staring blankly.

Even though he had been very careful, his change in identity still affected his life at school.

There were only a little over ten days left until the summer vacation. Half of his university life was over, and only two years of youth remained.

Thinking about this, Chen Xiao couldn't sleep. He got up, walked out of the dorm, bought a can of beer, and sat under a streetlamp, sipping it slowly.

He watched the students and couples passing by, and the hurried students returning late, breathing in the air of youth.

He deeply immersed himself in the campus, hoping that time would pass a little slower, allowing this beauty to slowly fade.

As the can of beer was almost empty, Chen Xiao felt refreshed all over.

Just as he was about to get up and return to the dorm, Tan Cheng and a few of her girlfriends walked out of the Art Building, carrying musical instruments.

The streetlights cast long shadows of these youthful and beautiful girls.

Upon seeing Chen Xiao, Tan Cheng's smile became unnatural.

The group of four walked and chatted, glanced at Chen Xiao, and passed by him.

Chen Xiao said nothing, stood up, and walked towards the dorm.

"Chen Xiao."

Tan Cheng called out to him from behind.

"Something wrong?"

Chen Xiao hadn't expected her to turn back.

"I'm fine, but you look like you have something on your mind."

Chen Xiao smiled, "You're mistaken. I have nothing on my mind. Good night."

After speaking, he walked straight into the male dorm.

Tan Cheng stood at the entrance for over a minute before turning and leaving with her instrument.
