The Only One With a Mouth in the CEO Novel - Chapter 47: Accompanying Her in Complaining About the Boss

Chapter 47: Accompanying Her in Complaining About the Boss

In novels, changes in equity are straightforward.

The protagonist simply signs a contract and can continue their journey of love, hatred, and unpredictable schemes.

But the workers under the protagonist must diligently follow procedures according to rules and regulations, handling those trivial yet necessary tasks.

Now, Ye Jin was that unfortunate worker.

A shareholders’ meeting needed to be held, registration applications had to be filed with the Administration for Industry and Commerce, payment settlements needed to be processed, and tax declarations had to be submitted.

All of this took Ye Jin over a week.

However, it also gave her an excuse to reduce communication with Yan Rong.

In her recent email exchanges with Yan Rong, Ye Jin’s resentment was so intense it could sustain ten evil sword immortals. The moment she opened her eyes each day, she would curse the heavens, the earth, and her boss.

This completely shifted the focus of their communication from romance to other matters.

But on the other end, he always patiently soothed her.

Never showing the slightest hint of impatience.

He even occasionally crossed his own boundaries to join her in complaining about the boss.

The only downside was that he would suddenly pop up with the term baby as a nickname.

Every time Ye Jin saw it, she felt thoroughly disgusted.

Then, she would let out a cold laugh inwardly and type insincerely, calling him baby in return.

But it had to be said, Yan Rong was truly pure in love.

A few casually typed babies from Ye Jin were enough to make him feel sweet.

It was precisely because he was so pure-hearted that he had been carrying on this one-sided relationship with Ye Jin for so long without her noticing.

If the system hadn’t suddenly enlightened her,

she would probably still be in the dark.

How wonderful.

At the thought of this, Ye Jin clenched her fists, wishing she could slice him into a thousand pieces.

Weekend.

Ye Jin went to the hospital to visit Guan Yan.

Guan Yan was physically weak, running a low-grade fever every night, so she had been staying in the hospital.

When she reached the door of the hospital room, Ye Jin suddenly stopped.

President Gu?

Ye Jin’s tone was puzzled.

Gu Hui was standing outside the hospital room, secretly peeking inside through the glass.

Unfortunately, it was a suite-style room, and aside from the empty living area, nothing else was visible.

Assistant Ye. Gu Hui straightened his posture, clasping his hands behind his back, and asked, Are you here to visit?

Due to the equity division matters, Gu Hui had interacted with Ye Jin quite frequently.

Yes. Ye Jin nodded.

Ah, I’ve already finished my visit. Gu Hui gestured with his hand. Please go in.

Alright.

Ye Jin nodded politely and pushed the door open.

Then she suddenly stopped, turned around, and noticed Gu Hui casting a longing gaze into the room.

Pretending not to see it, Ye Jin maintained a calm expression and said, I just remembered there’s something about the equity transfer I need to discuss with you. How about joining me?

Ye Jin gave him an out: I’d like to trouble you to wait for me for a moment.

Of course, certainly.

Gu Hui agreed readily, without the slightest hesitation.

Ye Jin smiled understandingly, maintaining all the formalities: Then I’ll go in first, if you don’t mind?

Gu Hui: Please, go ahead.

He even seemed somewhat eager.

Like father, like son.

Just as timid as Gu Qingyang.

Ye Jin saw through it but didn’t comment, leading Gu Hui into the room.

Every time she visited, she would bring Guan Yan a bouquet of flowers, and today was no exception. She proactively placed them by Guan Yan’s bedside.

You don’t need to bring flowers every time, Guan Yan said. You’re too polite, Xiao Ye.

Ye Jin: It’s nothing, I just hope you can feel a bit better.

Gu Chenxi paid her such a high salary that she couldn’t even spend it all.

Buying a bouquet of flowers for Guan Yan was perfectly reasonable.

Xiao Ye, please sit.

Guan Yan couldn’t help but sigh, You’re the only person in so many years who’s made me feel comfortable from the very first meeting.

Hearing this, Ye Jin instinctively glanced toward Gu Hui.

If Guan Yan felt comfortable seeing Ye Jin, then who made her uncomfortable? The answer was obvious.

Gu Hui also understood the implication and silently leaned back, looking somewhat uneasy.

He remained standing, and Guan Yan didn’t invite him to sit.

It was as if he didn’t exist in the room.

Guan Yan chatted with Ye Jin about Gu Qingyang’s unusual behavior. When I woke up the other day, the child said to me very emotionally, ‘Mom, I was wrong.’ At first, I thought he was just trying to get money, but later I realized it didn’t seem that way.

Guan Yan said with a laugh, Only after asking did I find out it was Assistant Ye who told him to say that.

Ye Jin also laughed and explained, Recuperating alone is so boring. I thought I might as well put him to good use—let him entertain you like a filial son in colorful costumes.

Ye Jin’s unconventional thinking made Guan Yan chuckle a few times.

Guan Yan: Now that I think about it, it really was quite amusing.

With just a few words, Ye Jin had lifted Guan Yan’s spirits considerably.

Guan Yan held Ye Jin’s hand and said, You’re so thoughtful, no wonder Chenxi values you so much. If I were twenty years younger, I’d do everything I could to poach you as my assistant.

Ye Jin: You flatter me too much.

She really didn’t understand this wealthy people’s hobby of poaching talent.

The two of them were getting along harmoniously.

In contrast, Gu Hui, who was standing against the wall, looked quite miserable.

But Ye Jin felt pleased.

It seemed Guan Yan had taken her advice to heart—focusing on recuperating properly instead of exhausting herself to maintain superficial family harmony.

Ye Jin also continued to reinforce her divorced-with-a-child persona: If you ask me, working yourself to the bone for the whole family really isn’t worth it. Those who benefit from it don’t even notice our efforts as women. You might as well get a dog.

Ye Jin showed Guan Yan a photo of her Border Collie on her phone. This is my dog. Isn’t he adorable?

Guan Yan glanced at it: Adorable.

Ye Jin was truly skilled at conversation. Using the topic of pets, she chatted with Guan Yan for over fifteen minutes.

She even suggested that Guan Yan get a dog too, and Guan Yan agreed.

Since falling ill, Guan Yan had been low on energy and needed to sleep for long hours every day.

Ye Jin had timed her visit perfectly and now got up to leave right on schedule, reminding Guan Yan to take good care of herself.

After leaving the hospital room.

She turned around and noticed that Gu Hui had followed her out.

He really was quite spineless.

Ye Jin suddenly said, You heard Madam say she really likes Samoyeds just now, right?

Gu Hui had been feeling somewhat dejected.

But upon hearing Ye Jin’s words, his gloom instantly vanished as he understood her meaning.

Gu Hui said gratefully, Assistant Ye, thank you.

Ye Jin smiled: But this is all the help I can offer.

A crematorium only becomes interesting when it’s burning—lukewarm situations lack dramatic effect.

It was just that Guan Yan was too fragile right now, making it difficult for Ye Jin to fully execute her plans. She needed to help Guan Yan recover a bit more first.

Gu Hui, completely unaware of this, kept thanking Ye Jin profusely.

Yan Rong to Ye Jin:

What are you doing?

Just as Ye Jin stepped out of the hospital, she received Yan Rong’s email.

In the past, Ye Jin would always initiate conversations with Yan Rong to extract information from him, while Yan Rong would only respond passively.

Now that Ye Jin was sending fewer messages, it made him appear more proactive.

Ye Jin to Yan Rong:

Just finished visiting Madam.

Heading home for lunch soon, then taking the dog out to play.

Ye Jin was being truthful, but with only one goal in mind: to make it clear to the other side that her schedule was fully booked—do not disturb!

Yan Rong to Ye Jin:

I’d like to go on a spring outing with you too.

Yeah right, miss me all you want—miss my foot!

Ye Jin to Yan Rong:

Sure, let’s go together when you’re back.

Ye Jin typed through gritted teeth.

Come back? Yan Rong can forget about ever coming back in this lifetime!

She planned to keep bringing up Yan Rong in front of Gu Chenxi every single day, making sure he’d be exiled to the borderlands forever!
