Vase cannon fodder is pampered by the group again

Chapter 69.1

Editor: Princess

The day of the banquet.

“President Lu, Boss Huang called to say he’s signed the proposal sent this morning.”

Special Assistant Min stood in front of Lu Xiao’s desk, quietly reporting work, “Additionally, you need to handle work this morning and meet to discuss the new acquisition project plan. This afternoon you need to meet with Mr. Bai, the vice president of Xue An Finance, and attend the banquet tonight.”

Lu Xiao was replying to emails when he heard this, then he looked up with calm eyes that carried slight pressure through his thin glasses at Special Assistant Min.

“…” Special Assistant Min had an ominous premonition.

Lu Xiao said, “Move the afternoon meeting to after tonight’s banquet.”

Special Assistant Min insisted, “Xue An Finance is an important client. It would be best to set aside dedicated time to discuss the proposal.”

Lu Xiao continued to look at him quietly without speaking.

“…Understood.” Special Assistant Min changed his tune numbly.

The president’s reason was probably Young Master Shen again. He was long used to it.

Ever since dating Young Master Shen, the president had never worked overtime again. Business dinners and meetings that could be postponed were all pushed back. His workaholic persona had completely collapsed…

All morning, Yunxiao’s internal gossip group [Has President Lu Been Married Off Today (Anonymous Required)] was exploding, causing the only unmonitored bathroom to be in constant demand and perpetually packed.

Cup: President Lu was slacking off during the meeting today! He kept suddenly opening his phone to check, then immediately locking the screen, looking more dejected each time!

Vegetables: He must be waiting for his top’s call! This is President Lu’s most precious work time. Only Mr. Lucky Charm could monopolize it! I’m dying from the sweetness!

Dololo: But Shen Ci has been in classes lately. My friend at Yunxiao Entertainment says he’s super dedicated, often voluntarily adding extra training sessions and always being the last to leave the company! Worthy of being the boss’s man.

Water Snake: And! I heard that every night when he goes home, the president personally picks him up! Although no one dares take photos, just thinking about it is so sweet! President Lu spoils his top so much, wuu wuu wuu!

Juice: I’m so jealous! I’ve never seen anyone besides Shen Ci get in his car! After all, Shen Ci is Yunxiao Group’s lucky charm, second only to one person and above ten thousand others…

Ocean: This “below one person” is very meaningful. President Lu’s navel orange must be very exciting! perverted smile

White Fruit: I hope President Lu gets married off soon, preferably staying home to do housework instead of exploiting the proletariat!

Blue Music: Seconded!

Wine and Meat: Seconded!

…

The anonymous gossip group was flooded with nearly a hundred “Seconded!” comments, getting completely out of hand.

Lu Xiao was completely unaware, frowning as he checked WeChat messages again, then locked the screen.

It wasn’t until lunch that he saw the reply he wanted.

Baby: Ah! I slept until noon, so refreshing! Uncle, I just saw your morning message, wuu wuu…

Baby: Just call me when you come to pick me up tonight! Little Uncle, have you eaten lunch? Eat quickly.

Baby: My big brother is forcing me to eat and won’t let me play with my phone, wuu wuu. I’ll talk more later!

Baby: [Kiss kiss]

The emoji was a light orange kitten suddenly leaning close to the camera for a kiss, with a little heart.

Lu Xiao stroked the screen, his lips curving as he held down the voice message button, replying with a low “Okay.”

The life assistant arranging Lu Xiao’s meal nearly dropped the dishes and almost spilled them on the company documents.

He was so scared he quickly looked at Lu Xiao’s reaction. Fortunately he was still staring at his phone, seemingly savoring their chat history.

Because his arm was raised, Lu Xiao’s sleeve had fallen down a bit, and the assistant vaguely glimpsed that Lu Xiao’s prominent right wrist was actually wearing a black hair tie.

The assistant: ???

Wait, wasn’t Lu Xiao pursuing Young Master Shen?

This kind of hair tie was generally prepared for girls, right?!

---

Shen Ci’s hair was messy. He was lying on the bed holding his phone while smiling foolishly when Shen Bie ruthlessly snatched it away.

Shen Bie said fiercely: “Lazy pig, sleeping until now without even eating breakfast. Get up and eat immediately!”

Shen Ci stuck his tongue out at him, his voice drawing out lazily: “I know.”

However, he hugged his pillow and continued being lazy, lying on the bed while stubbornly refusing to move.

“…” Shen Bie could only take matters into his own hands, lifting his lazy little brother who was kicking his legs from the bed. He grabbed the hair tie from the bedside table and tied his messy hair into a little topknot casually, then half-carried and half-dragged Shen Ci to the bathroom, glaring while monitoring him as he washed up.

Shen Ci sighed deeply while brushing his teeth and letting his mind wander.

If it were Little Uncle, seeing him this tired, he would definitely let him continue sleeping.

His big brother really was a devil-level mother hen!

Shen Ci rolled his eyes at the mirror and naturally received a knock on the head from Shen Bie: “What are you cursing me about now?”

Still a violent mother hen. Shen Ci tearfully covered his head while thinking this but didn’t dare to speak.

Shen Bie hurriedly rushed over from the company at noon, called Shen Ci up to eat, then hurriedly went back again.

Alone at home, Shen Ci was very bored in the afternoon. He collapsed on the bed watching Wei Shuo’s daily livestream.

Wei Shuo was currently on a voice call with a gaming streamer on the Qinggua platform. His hands were pressing the keyboard while he cursed continuously.

Two top streamers from Qinggua were on a voice call together, so the bullet comments had already exploded.

“One operation fierce as a tiger, but one look at the score shows two-fifty…”

“Holy crap, that’s way too bad. This Shuo Shuo is finished. Cut him down and retrain!”

“Shuo Ge, just admit defeat and call him daddy. You’re losing so badly I feel sorry for you, hahaha.”

Wei Shuo was clearly being beaten down, yet he continued trash-talking with an extremely arrogant attitude: “Yinchao, if you have the ability, come fight me face to face! What kind of skill does bullying me in the game count as?”

The voice call streamer’s hero suddenly jumped out from the bushes, pinning Wei Shuo to the ground and killing him in seconds. Suppressing laughter, he said slowly: “Fighting face to face is impossible. It’s only by bullying noobs like you in games that I can maintain my lifestyle.”

Wei Shuo exploded: “Damn!”

Shen Ci was almost dying of laughter because of his childhood friend. He simply grabbed sunflower seeds and cheerfully treated it as a comedy show, watching until evening.

When Lu Xiao called, the car had already arrived downstairs.

He hurriedly got up to get ready, only then realizing that his lips were burning. When he touched them, they had actually swollen…

He looked at the trash can, which was filled with half a bucket of heroic sunflower seed shell remains guiltily.
