Chapter 28: Calling Her Xixi Already Is Too Fast and Intimate…

Watching Ye Jins bold maneuvers from afar, the system was once again anxiously spinning in circles.

[Shes using all the male leads lines!]

With its panoramic perspective, it also shared the protagonists point of view.

In Shu Lingxis eyes now, Ye Jin seemed to be radiating golden light from head to toe, even surpassing the male leads halo.

It was simply turning the natural order upside down.

Noticing Shu Lingxi watching her, Ye Jin gave her a gentle smile.

Thus, in Shu Lingxis eyes, Ye Jins radiance grew even more powerful, as if a savior had descended.

System:…

Forget it, they can do whatever they want.

Ye Jin led Shu Lingxi out of the hospital room.

Accustomed to her fast-paced work style, Ye Jin walked quickly with long strides—each step covering what would take Shu Lingxi two steps to match.

Struggling to keep up, Shu Lingxi asked curiously, Why are you helping me?

Her voice remained soft and frail as always, lacking confidence.

But after what had just happened, her gaze when facing Ye Jin had become much steadier, no longer fearing that Ye Jin might harm her.

Glancing down at her, Ye Jin deliberately threatened, Helping? Im just using you as a shield.

Thats fine.

Not only was Shu Lingxi unafraid, she even sweetly responded to Ye Jin, Then Ill help draw their fire for you.

As if being used by Ye Jin was an honor.

Unable to resist, Ye Jin patted her head.

Such a grateful little angel.

Shu Lingxi pressed further, Then what should we do next? How can I help you?

Youve probably already guessed—Im going after your father. Ye Jin raised an eyebrow, Even so, you still want to help me?

Yes.

Shu Lingxi said, This isnt right. They should be punished.

Good. Then stay with me during this period. Adjusting her glasses, Ye Jin formulated the next step of her plan.

On the rooftop, Gu Qingyang and his childhood friends were huddled together.

That woman is despicable, one friend suddenly remarked.

Gu Qingyang immediately retorted, Dont speak badly about my sister.

Chunsheng, are you possessed? his friend muttered in dialect, completely baffled, We cant say this, we cant say that.

Gu Qingyang sighed, Just stay out of this matter.

How can we not get involved!

They were in the wrong from the start.

Shu Qinghua and his group were essentially an extortion racket.

Their scheme went like this: First, theyd get jobs at factories and secretly create minor issues—like fire safety violations. Then theyd use this evidence to approach management, either coaxing or threatening to extort money. After getting paid, theyd move on to the next target.

When Shu Qinghuas group came to the distribution center, they employed the same tactics.

Having worked there only briefly, Gu Qingyang didnt recognize it as a scam, believing hed genuinely made mistakes, so he paid up readily.

Discovering how easily fooled Gu Qingyang was, Shu Qinghua used the same method repeatedly.

Each time, they succeeded.

Growing greedier, their appetite expanded until they began targeting the expensive goods transported through the distribution center.

Other matters might not have registered with Gu Qingyang.

But following recent theft incidents at the center, he had been particularly vigilant about security.

Thus, Shu Qinghua and his crew were caught.

During the confrontation, a conflict erupted, and soon Gu Qingyangs childhood friends were the first to take action.

One of them declared loyally, Well take responsibility for what we did. We wont drag you down.

Exactly! Even if it means going to jail, Ill own up to it.

But we cant swallow this injustice. Tomorrow Im going to their headquarters to demand an explanation.

Chunsheng, well fight them with you! Weve got your back!

Clearly, they had taken Gu Qingyangs earlier tough talk at face value.

Gu Qingyang scratched his head in frustration.

If all of them combined their efforts, they still wouldnt be enough to make Gu Chenxi lift a finger. His sister could easily handle them single-handedly.

What was there even to fight about?

Just as he was stewing in annoyance, Gu Qingyang suddenly received a call from Ye Jin.

It felt like a savior had descended.

He immediately brushed them off and went to a quiet spot to take the call.

Ye Jin asked, Whats the situation on your end?

What situation? Everythings blown up!

Good. Ye Jin gave a faint smile and said, Let them cause a scene. The bigger, the better.

Gu Qingyang wanted to say more.

But the moment he remembered this was his sister speaking, his heart settled back into place.

Ye Jin instructed, Make sure your acting is convincing. Dont give anything away.

Okay, Gu Qingyang agreed.

Thus, with Gu Qingyang and Ye Jins deliberate indulgence.

The childhood friends took turns causing disturbances for several days at Vastnesss downtown office building, even making it into the social news.

Once the matter entered the public eye.

A series of events concerning Gu Qingyangs background were fully exposed.

–

As the situation gradually escalated.

Gu Hong reserved a private room in a teahouse and invited numerous shareholders to join him for tea.

The previous incident had led to Gu Hong being taken away for investigation by the relevant authorities, causing him to disappear for quite some time.

Now he had suddenly reappeared in everyones sight.

Since youre all here, you must have guessed my intentions. Gu Hong chuckled as he poured tea and stated directly, The distribution center is a prime piece of meat now. Surely youre all tempted?

No one spoke.

Gu Hong had no choice but to continue on his own, Think about it, everyone. The two Gu brothers have never gotten along.

He laid out his plan, When the time comes, if we all speak up together and remove that kid Gu Qingyang from his position, hell naturally turn his anger toward Gu Chenxi. Once they truly start fighting, wont it be easy for us to profit from their conflict?

Yet still, no one responded.

A prime piece of meat placed before anyone would be tempting.

But the question was, was that piece of meat really there for the taking?

Old Gu, I think youve forgotten the lesson from last time, an elderly man reminded him. Those two brothers joined forces against you. Have you forgotten?

How could he fall for it again this time?

Gu Hong waved it off dismissively, That was purely a coincidence last time.

Last time, he had only himself to blame for underestimating the situation and failing to notice that Gu Chenxi had backup plans.

It had nothing to do with that good-for-nothing Gu Qingyang.

Could anyone really believe the two brothers had a good relationship based on that alone?

Gu Hong insisted, This time will definitely be different. Trust me.

Having learned from last times lesson, he had made thorough preparations and would absolutely not repeat the same mistakes.

Still, no one responded.

They all sat in silence, sipping their tea.

They had given their warning, but Gu Hong was determined to take the bait.

Even a deity couldnt save him now.

Several shareholders exchanged glances, then simply stood up and excused themselves.

After sitting for a while longer, the others also gradually left one by one.

In the end, only Gu Hong was left staring blankly at the empty table.

—

Ye Jin made no unnecessary moves, quietly waiting behind the scenes for the situation to unfold.

As Gu Qingyangs background was exposed, the media directly labeled him as a good-for-nothing young master.

Under these circumstances, it was truly unsuitable for him to continue showing up for work, yet Gu Chenxi didnt feel comfortable handing the distribution center over to anyone else.

Thus, Ye Jin had to take on two roles simultaneously, taking over Gu Qingyangs responsibilities.

She was so busy every day that she didnt even have time to tease or harass Yan Rong anymore.

On the fourth day,

During a video conference with Gu Chenxi, she was so swamped that she ended up leaving him waiting on the side.

Gu Chenxi casually handled some other tasks, patiently waiting for Ye Jin to finish.

Lets continue, President Gu.

Ye Jin returned, only to find a message from Gu Chenxi: [After todays work is done, proceed with the handover.]

Ye Jins heart skipped a beat: Is Chief Assistant Yan coming back?

Gu Chenxi pursed his lips and typed: [Not for now.]

Since Yan Rong was idle over there anyway, it was better to have him help share some of Ye Jins workload.

Seeing the message, Ye Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she remembered she was still playing the role of someone unconsciously harboring a crush.

So, she let out a regretful sigh and said, Is Chief Assistant Yan still busy over there?

Seeing Ye Jins reaction, Gu Chenxis heart tightened.

He then nodded.

Yes, very busy. He wont be back for a while.

So, stop thinking about him.

Ye Jin: For the handover, we can just handle it directly on the work platform, right?

Gu Chenxi nodded.

Since Yan Rong would be handling Vastnesss work, he naturally needed to regain access to his account.

If everything went smoothly, Ye Jin would never know that he had once used Yan Rongs account to communicate with her.

Everything would return to normal.

Yet, for some reason, Gu Chenxi couldnt feel at ease.

Instead, he felt quite unsettled.

Xixi, wait a moment longer, Ye Jin suddenly said. I have something else to attend to.

…?

Xixi?

Gu Chenxi froze for a full three seconds before blinking and looking at Ye Jin on the screen.

Could it be that Assistant Ye already knew Yan Rong was him?

This sudden bad news.

Gu Chenxi broke out in a cold sweat for no apparent reason.

Then, he quickly calmed down, his mind sharpening.

She knew he was using a fake identity to deceive her, yet she didnt expose him and even called him Xixi.

This didnt align with Assistant Yes usual behavior.

But if the person Assistant Ye liked was him, then everything made sense.

Still, calling him Xixi was too fast and too intimate.

He absolutely could not accept it.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Gu Chenxi couldnt quite pinpoint what he was feeling.

His thoughts were numerous and chaotic, yet none led to a clear conclusion.

He even felt somewhat disoriented.

Ah, boss, sorry.

Ye Jin noticed Gu Chenxis complicated expression and suddenly remembered: Gu Chenxis name also contained the character Xi.

Ye Jin explained lightly, I found an assistant here named Shu Lingxi. I was calling her just now.

A soft, cheerful voice came from off-screen: Jinjin, whats up?

Come here for a moment.

Hoping to bring the male and female leads together, Ye Jin waved Shu Lingxi over to her side, allowing them to meet for the first time.

Xixi, this is my boss, Ye Jin introduced. You can call him President Gu.

Ye Jin was a dedicated fan of female protagonists, having read novels for so many years.

Thus, she simply couldn’t resist such a sweet, adorable younger sister type.

Recently, they had been spending day and night together.

Even when going to the restroom, Shu Lingxi would link arms with her.

So when Shu Lingxi affectionately called her Jin Jin, Ye Jin naturally reciprocated by calling her Xi Xi.

Moreover, Ye Jin didn’t find the nickname the slightest bit awkward or cloying.

After all, when she used to read novels, no matter how nauseatingly affectionate the nicknames for younger sister types were, she could say them smoothly.

A mere reduplicated nickname like this was no challenge at all for Ye Jin.

Shu Lingxi stood obediently beside Ye Jin and said, Hello, President Gu.

President Gu, this is Shu Lingxi, Ye Jin said, trying to help them build rapport. The last character of both your names is pronounced Xi what a coincidence.

…………

Gu Chenxi closed his eyes for a moment.
