37: Chapter 37 Old Chi's daughter, the former driver... I thought she was a bad maid!
"What the hell does your birthday have to do with me!"
"If you want to celebrate your birthday, find someone else!"
"For crying out loud, where did you get my phone number?"
Shen Yuan spoke irritably, then glanced at Special Assistant Lin's documents.
Thank goodness, thank goodness...
It's not Jiang Anran; even the birthdays are different!
I can't keep idling around like this...
I'm going to find Xiao Ce!
I'll make him act for me, to kill everyone in the world for my sake!
"I'm Miaomiao!"
The female voice said aggrievedly.
"What 'Miaomiao'? I don't know any Miaomiao!"
Shen Yuan snorted coldly, "If you call me again, and it's not a scam call, I'm calling the police!"
"Shen Yuan, you have no heart!"
The female voice shouted again.
Shen Yuan hurriedly felt his heart.
Scared me to death. My heart is still beating quite strongly.
"I've heard enough of that sentence today!"
Shen Yuan sighed, feeling like life was no longer worth living.
Wuwuwu!
Uncle Gou, I want to go home!
I'm really not suited for this giant melting pot of society. I'm only fit to eat and wait for death!
The company—I'm never coming here again!
To the campus!
I can encounter a Child of Destiny on campus too!
Although they might be brain-dead, they... definitely won't make me feel this hopeless!
"I am Chi Miaomiao!"
The female voice seemed equally desperate. "Shen Yuan, give me five hundred thousand!"
*Click!*
Shen Yuan hung up immediately and then blocked the number.
"I don't know if it's a scam or what!"
Shen Yuan curled his lip. "Chi Miaomiao? Why not Li Miaomiao? Why not say Uncle Gou is called Gou Miaomiao!"
"Listen to that tone, like I abandoned her after a fling. Am I some kind of scumbag?"
Shen Yuan scoffed.
"President Shen, aren't you?" Special Assistant Lin smiled slightly.
Shen Yuan squinted at him. "You really do want to change bosses!"
"Boss, I was wrong!"
Special Assistant Lin instantly stood at attention.
"Buy me a gun!"
Shen Yuan spoke grimly.
"Huh!?"
Special Assistant Lin was startled. "President Shen, firearms are controlled items in our country!"
"You're still young. Please don't go down the path of crime!"
"Most importantly..."
"You're not planning to use a gun to blow me away, are you?"
Special Assistant Lin raised his hands innocently in a gesture of surrender.
Shen Yuan's eyes widened like copper bells...
"President Shen, if you insist..."
Special Assistant Lin pulled out his phone. "I'm going to call the police!"
Shen Yuan: "..."
"I happen to have downloaded some legal regulations and cases. Why don't you take a look?"
Special Assistant Lin handed over his phone.
"You get out of here too!"
Shen Yuan was helpless.
Special Assistant Lin smiled slightly. "President Shen, you're not 'dead', are you?"
"I'm doing fine 'before the grave'!"
Shen Yuan waved his hand and let out a breath. "Never mind. Joking around with you like this has made me feel much more relaxed!"
"Bro, thanks!"
Shen Yuan said to Special Assistant Lin.
"Don't call me 'Bro'!" Special Assistant Lin raised an eyebrow. "I'm just a special assistant!"
"Get lost!"
Shen Yuan rolled his eyes and said irritably, "It's not easy for me to get sentimental for once, yet you make me fail so completely!"
Special Assistant Lin laughed.
"I'm leaving!"
Shen Yuan waved his hand, about to leave.
Special Assistant Lin...
He wasn't just an ordinary person; strictly speaking, he was the Original Owner's childhood friend.
After all, the Original Owner's family wasn't that wealthy at the beginning...
When they first started investing, the Original Owner and Special Assistant Lin were actually neighbors living across from each other.
The two of them got along very well!
Later, the Original Owner moved away, but the two met again in middle school.
One was a top student, and the other was a genius student.
Well, the "genius student" referred to Special Assistant Lin.
Later, the Original Owner moved away again!
As it turned out, they met again in high school!
Special Assistant Lin was three years older than the Original Owner!
So, he had been calling him "Bro" since they were children!
The Original Owner wasn't ungrateful either. Although he had inexplicably become a Villain, he was still quite good to Special Assistant Lin!
After Special Assistant Lin graduated, he was directly pulled into the family group by the Original Owner.
He was personally trained by Uncle Gou!
It was just that title he refused to change, saying he had to avoid suspicion in the company.
He insisted on calling him President Shen.
"I'll take you to a food stall for some charcoal-grilled squid another day."
Shen Yuan smiled, turned, and walked away.
"Wait, President Shen, hold on..."
"You seem to know Chi Miaomiao!"
Special Assistant Lin slapped his forehead and hurriedly called out.
"Bullshit, I don't know her!"
Shen Yuan said.
"The daughter of your former personal driver!"
Special Assistant Lin shouted, "He resigned three years ago!"
Shen Yuan's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Chi Miaomiao...
Driver?
Old Chi?!
Punching his own palm, Shen Yuan remembered. "That's right, that's right! Old Chi's daughter is named Chi Miaomiao!"
I almost forgot.
"But..."
Shen Yuan's brow furrowed. "What was with Chi Miaomiao's tone, as if she'd been abandoned after a fling?"
"And why is she asking me for five hundred thousand?"
"And whether it's her birthday or not, what the hell does that have to do with me!"
Shen Yuan pursed his lips. "Special Assistant Lin, check on Old Chi's current situation!"
"Okay!"
Special Assistant Lin nodded and immediately started making calls.
Shen Yuan sat back down in his executive chair.
He didn't plan on leaving anymore.
Life... if it's going to be shitty, then let it be shitty!
If all else fails...
Just buy me a gun!
After a few calls, Special Assistant Lin's expression turned grim.
"President Shen, something happened to Old Chi!"
Special Assistant Lin said, "Type A aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm!"
"The entire surgery will cost over five hundred thousand!"
Special Assistant Lin looked at Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan slapped his thigh. "So, Chi Miaomiao called me for money because of her father?"
"But..."
"Is she brain-dead?"
"Can't she speak properly?"
"Starting off with that tone like I'm some heartbreaker—I really want to slap her to death!"
"And if something happened to her father, why all the long-winded nonsense at the start?"
"Saying I have no heart and all that crap!"
"Where are they? Let's go see!"
Shen Yuan said hurriedly.
"Okay!"
Special Assistant Lin nodded. "I'll arrange a car right away! Do you need me to go there with you?"
"Duh. If you don't go, who's going to the hospital to pay the fees?"
"You can't expect me to be the one running up and down, can you?"
Shen Yuan shrugged.
"Understood!"
Special Assistant Lin walked out, making a few calls along the way to postpone meetings and such.
Shen Yuan: "..."
Everyone around me is like an overbearing CEO!
While I... am becoming more and more like a delicate flower!
They're pitying me more and more!
Sigh!
After getting into the car, Shen Yuan rubbed his brow.
The driver, Old Chi, was a conscientious man!
About five years ago, the original driver reached retirement age and retired!
Dad found a new driver, and that was Old Chi.
He was a single father.
He was quite honest and a hard worker.
With a wave of his hand, Dad let him stay in the servant's quarters nearby and brought his daughter, Chi Miaomiao, over as well.
Three years ago, Old Chi said his mother in the countryside was sick...
He had to go back to take care of her, so he resigned.
Then he left with Chi Miaomiao.
His impression of Chi Miaomiao...
After thinking for a long time, Shen Yuan reached a conclusion.
Hmm...
She was a servant who couldn't exactly be called useful!
Perhaps it was because she had been humble since childhood...
Chi Miaomiao was very observant.
When I was thirsty, she would cook!
When I was hungry, she would hand me water!
When I was sleepy, she would recite texts!
When I was wide awake, she would play English tapes!
She did indeed take care of every aspect of my daily life...
It was just...
...that it might not have been so satisfactory!
