The Only One With a Mouth in the CEO Novel - Chapter 73: Trying to Match the Male Lead and Female Lead?

Chapter 73: Trying to Match the Male Lead and Female Lead?

Ye Jin got promoted again.

From Assistant Ye to Chief Assistant Ye, she could now assign all employees except Gu Chenxi. Her authority over the work platform became even more formidable, truly placing her second only to one person and above thousands.

Yet she didn’t feel particularly special about it.

It just felt like a title change—her salary increased, and she became busier.

Even before this, Ye Jin had started handling matters related to Yuji Technology. Now, she gained even deeper insights.

It gave Ye Jin the feeling of seeing through Gu Chenxi’s bottom line.

Additionally, Yan Rong also got promoted.

He was now the Executive President of Yuji Technology, provided with housing and a car, completely settling down in another province.

During a video conference, Ye Jin finally saw Yan Rong’s true face.

Yan Rong was quite young, looking somewhat handsome in a formal suit, as serious and meticulous as Gu Chenxi.

President Gu, Chief Assistant Ye. Yan Rong sat upright with a slight smile. Good evening.

Ye Jin maintained an equally proper posture and replied, Good evening, President Yan.

Yan Rong suddenly felt a chill down his spine, somewhat uneasy.

He glanced at Gu Chenxi on the screen, sensing that President Gu seemed displeased with him.

But he hadn’t done anything recently to upset President Gu.

Ye Jin prompted the agenda, Shall we begin then?

Yan Rong immediately refocused his attention on work.

In the conference room, Ye Jin and Gu Chenxi sat side by side, at a neither too close nor too far distance, occasionally brushing elbows with their movements.

But Ye Jin’s gaze remained clear and upright, filled entirely with passion for work.

She was determined to let her boss feel her work attitude.

Fortunately, that wasn’t Gu Chenxi’s focus either.

He was more concerned that Yan Rong might actually be Ye Jin’s ideal type, so he observed them carefully for a while. Only when he detected no sparks in their interaction did he feel relieved.

So what type did Ye Jin actually like?

Why didn’t she like him?

They had already done such intimate things—he refused to believe she felt nothing at all.

Gu Chenxi inexplicably touched his lips.

President Gu? Ye Jin turned her head to ask him, What’s your opinion…

Gu Chenxi snapped back to attention and returned his focus to the meeting.

He typed out his views.

Ye Jin tilted her head to observe him.

His train of thought flowed smoothly and coherently, showing no signs of being distracted.

Yet this person had clearly been zoning out earlier.

Truly worthy of being a capital mogul.

The meeting continued.

This was Ye Jin’s first exposure to these matters, so she had to devote 100% of her attention to handle them.

But Gu Chenxi still easily let his mind wander.

Casually picking up Ye Jin’s notebook, he opened it.

She always carried a notebook with her, and Gu Chenxi was curious about what she wrote in it.

It was a new notebook but already half-filled, showing signs of frequent use.

It contained information and materials related to her new work.

It was evident she was struggling to cope, having studied many obscure materials.

This aligned perfectly with her character.

Whether she liked or disliked a task, once it fell on her shoulders, she would exhaust all efforts to achieve perfection.

This was what Gu Chenxi admired most about her.

He flipped through it briefly, then picked up a pen to add annotations in her notebook.

Some precautions she had overlooked.

The practicality of the information.

When encountering particularly obscure or difficult sections, he directly sketched out mind maps.

Gu Chenxi wrote with intense focus, yet didn’t miss a single detail of the meeting content.

This caused Ye Jin and Yan Rong to frequently glance in his direction.

Yet neither dared to criticize him.

It wasn’t until the meeting ended and Yan Rong bid farewell to Ye Jin that Gu Chenxi finally slowly closed the notebook and returned it to Ye Jin.

After the video conference disconnected, Ye Jin curiously opened it and flipped through, discovering his annotations were genuinely helpful – her thought process had become much clearer.

Truly worthy of being a master.

Ye Jin said: Thank you, President Gu.

Mhm.

Gu Chenxi packed his things and stood up.

Ye Jin also rose with him and asked: President Gu, may I consult you if I have questions in the future?

Studying the materials alone was too difficult for her.

With a ready-made expert right beside her, it would be foolish not to take advantage.

Mhm.

He agreed with an indifferent expression.

Ye Jin was overjoyed: Thank you, President Gu!

She probably didn’t realize that when speaking such flattering words of gratitude, she would unconsciously draw out her sentence endings.

Making her voice become sweet and syrupy.

Very much like acting cute.

Gu Chenxi was unexpectedly fed a mouthful of sugar and couldn’t help the corner of his mouth twitching.

Then he regained his composure.

Mhm. He responded quietly again.

Ye Jin remained completely unaware.

Even if she had noticed, she would likely have just laughed it off.

After clarifying matters last time, Ye Jin didn’t deliberately maintain distance from Gu Chenxi.

She never avoided any tasks that an assistant should perform.

Even when leaning in to adjust his tie, she acted completely natural and unembarrassed.

Fully utilizing her advantage of having no romantic inclinations.

The system occasionally complains when Ye Jin returned home: The male lead keeps throwing flirtatious glances at someone blind.
Ye Jin retorted righteously: Then tell me – isn’t he doing it less and less often?

System:…

It couldn’t refute this point.

System: Anyway, you should still be more careful. I always feel Gu Chenxi isn’t the type to give up easily.
Ye Jin: It’s fine, the female lead will soon be interning at the President’s Office.

Once the destined heroine arrives, when would Gu Chenxi have time or mood to pay attention to her?

You really want to matchmake the male lead and female lead?
The system still felt uneasy.

Have to give it a try.

When it came to missions, Ye Jin became more serious. If the mission isn’t completely accomplished, wouldn’t it be difficult for you to send me and Border Collie home too?

The system suddenly fell silent.

It hadn’t expected Ye Jin to still be considering its situation.

Rather thoughtful.

So the system softened its attitude and said: You don’t need to worry too much. Just resolve the basic conflicts, and the protagonists will naturally develop a perfect ending themselves.
When they reach that perfect ending, that will be the day I send you home.
Wouldn’t that be perfect? Ye Jin perked up. Without me as his mouthpiece, who knows how long it would take Gu Chenxi to pursue someone? Wouldn’t I just be waiting around idly?

But if she could play a supporting role…

Not only could she return home sooner, but she could even sit at the main table when the male and female leads married.

She used to always say main table in novel comment sections.

Now she could truly sit at the main table.

System:…

Should have known she wouldn’t behave.

Whatever.

Since she was still thinking of it.

Do whatever you want.
Just don’t get yourself involved.

System, this is the first time you haven’t opposed me. Ye Jin spotted the key point.

But the system just made Border Collie turn and leave.

She didn’t want to deal with her at all.

Ye Jin quickly straightened her attitude, coaxing both the Border Collie and the system back.

Then she had the system open the video comment section.

She left a comment: Thank you everyone, I’ve already cleared up the misunderstanding with my boss. He said he understands, and we’ll maintain our superior-subordinate relationship going forward.
She posted a new comment.

Since the author’s comments carry higher weight, it immediately appeared at the top.

Netizens were completely baffled when they saw it.

Ah? No way!
Wasn’t the previous content setting up for a new storyline?
Wait, if you’ve cleared things up, what are we supposed to watch?
Blogger, don’t let this President Gu get away!!
Ye Jin’s sudden script-tearing behavior completely exceeded netizens’ expectations.

The short stories she previously posted in the comments section had received great responses, even attracting a large wave of followers to her account.

Yet now she was stopping just like that.

I was wrong, I’ll never say you’re doing marketing again.
Quickly delete this terrible comment of yours ahhhh. Frantically waving hands.jpg
How about this: I’ll forgive you if you send President Gu to the entertainment industry to act. Our domestic entertainment scene needs this kind of micro-expression CEO.
Ye Jin replied to this one: Then you’d better not forgive me.
This matter was thus completely settled.

Ye Jin closed the video and breathed a sigh of relief.

She got busy with work again for several days, which meant she didn’t go online in the real world for quite some time.

Therefore, she had no idea that the real world’s internet had exploded because of her casual comment.

In just these few short months, Ye Jin had managed to grow her account followers to over ten million through just a dozen or so videos.

The popularity of various derivative interpretation videos remained consistently high.

There were even supertopic communities dedicated to shipping them under microscopes.
This was practically a phenomenon-level presence.

Anyone who browsed videos online had basically come across content related to her videos.

Now, just when her account was at its peak, she announced she was stopping without warning.

It was extremely capricious.

Some netizens believed she was brewing something big, preparing to pull off some spectacular move, with her next video set to shock the entire internet.

Others thought she posted this comment because she and Gu Chenxi had unequal profit distribution, causing them to fall out, and they might not collaborate in the future.

There were also the pathetic types who said they’d happily watch whatever content Ye Jin made, begging her not to quit the internet and to continue updating.

Ye Jin remained completely unaware of all this.

She was swamped with work every day, with no time to pay attention to the online chaos.

Until the only blogger she had added as a friend sent a private message asking with concern: Dear, are you really not planning to update videos anymore?
Ye Jin replied: Creative block period, can’t think of content ideas for now. Will update if I come up with ideas in the future.
The real world house had been fully renovated.

It needed to air out to dissipate the formaldehyde.

Ye Jin simply booked Cheng Jinhua into a Hainan sanatorium, sending her there for a vacation period. The service there was excellent, with regular dedicated car service to take Cheng Jinhua to the hospital for dialysis.

On the video call.

Cheng Jinhua hesitated several times before saying: You’re not doing videos full-time, are you?

Huh? Mom, how did you know? Ye Jin asked, puzzled.

Cheng Jinhua said: The way you carry yourself now with such decisiveness reminds me exactly of the leaders at the factory when I was young.

When Cheng Jinhua was young, she worked as an accountant in a foreign-owned factory.

So she’s starting to smell like a capitalist now?

Ye Jin rubbed her temples in frustration.

Work-related injury, this is definitely a work-related injury.

It’s all Gu Chenxi’s fault.
