Chapter 1 That CEO Novel Cannon Fodder 1
Chapter 1 That CEO Novel Cannon Fodder 1
"Secretary Lin, please let me in." Song Xianyin looked longingly at the tightly closed door.
Secretary Lin's lips twitched: "Ms. Song, if you have nothing else to do, you can go back."
He was originally supposed to be by the president's side handling some important matters, but now he's being used to judge people.
Song Xianyin was getting anxious. Why were the male protagonists in this world so hard to win over? Hadn't she done enough?
She peeked out, but Secretary Lin silently blocked her way.
Song Xianyin looked at him earnestly: "Secretary Lin, the Song family has a few collaborations we'd like to discuss with your president. Could you please step aside?"
Secretary Lin smiled and shook his head: "Ms. Song, you've used this excuse many times already."
Song Xianyin frowned, looked behind him, and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
Secretary Lin turned his head in confusion, but the next second Song Xianyin pushed him aside and went straight into the office.
Secretary Lin: ...
Got cheated again.
Song Xianyin gently closed the door. A man sat in front of the desk. He had very handsome features, and his suit jacket was casually placed on the bar stool next to him. He had a somewhat sharp demeanor.
He didn't react when someone came in, just quietly looking at the documents on his desk.
Song Xianyin felt a little flustered looking at Gu Peisi, who remained silent.
She looked at Gu Peisi with some suspicion. Didn't he like kind and warm-hearted girls? Wasn't she that type?
Song Xianyin cleared her throat: "Director Pei, I heard from Secretary Lin that you haven't had lunch yet."
Gu Peisi paused in his flipping through the documents, glanced at her, and said, "Miss Song, please just call me by my name."
They don't seem to be that close.
Song Xianyin pretended not to hear. She placed the lunchbox on her desk and smiled, "Pei Si, I knew you wouldn't eat on time. This is something I made especially for you."
Gu Peisi lowered his eyes and glanced at the food in the lunchbox.
Great, it's all food he doesn't like to eat.
She says she likes him, but she doesn't even know what his food tastes like. She used to come every day, but now she only comes three or four times a month.
If you want to achieve your goal, you need to put in a little more effort.
Song Xianyin looked at him expectantly: "Try it, Pei Si."
These are all her favorite foods; Gu Peisi will definitely love them.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"President, there is a document that needs your signature." A female voice sounded at the door.
Song Xianyin's alarm went off. Oh no, that was the female lead's voice.
"Come in," Gu Peisi replied indifferently, ignoring Song Xianyin's gaze.
The girl quickly walked in with the documents. She glanced at Song Xianyin, then immediately looked away.
"President, this is..." The girl stood in front of the office and reported softly.
Song Xianyin immediately squeezed between the two people, frowning as she looked at the documents she was holding.
The girl looked at her with a complicated expression: "Ms. Song, this is a company secret."
Song Xianyin was a little angry: "Miss Wen, you came here at this time specifically because it's a company secret. See, I came here on purpose."
Every time she tries to win over Gu Peisi, the female lead, she comes to cause trouble, even before her scenes are even started.
Seeing Song Xianyin turn the tables and accuse Wen Yanchu, Wen Yanchu choked up. How could anyone be so unreasonable?
Song Xianyin was still angry, and just as she was about to say a few more words, she suddenly noticed Gu Peisi's gaze.
Song Xianyin's body stiffened for a moment. Oh no, her image was about to collapse.
She forced a smile at Wen Yanchu: "Miss Wen, I know you didn't mean it. Please don't say that to me next time."
Song Xianyin patted her skirt and smiled, "Pei Si, don't scold Miss Wen. I believe she already knows she was wrong."
Wen Yanchu looked at her quietly, and Song Xianyin waved her hand: "Please don't punish her."
Gu Peisi gave her a deep look: "Miss Song, don't worry, I won't punish her. She didn't do anything wrong."
Song Xianyin's smile froze instantly, and she stood to the side, looking deflated.
Wasn't the female lead supposed to be a stranger to Gu Peisi at this point? How come she feels that the female lead's status is even higher than hers?
Wen Yanchu glanced at the dishes on the table, then hesitated before asking, "Miss Song, did you bring this for the CEO?"
Song Xianyin's confidence immediately surged: "Yes, I made it myself. Miss Wen certainly wouldn't do it, would she?"
Plating the food myself should also count as doing it myself, right?
Wen Yanchu smiled and said, "Miss Song did a great job. I am definitely not as good as Miss Song."
Wen Yanchu breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected Song Xianyin to be so stupid that she didn't even know what the president liked to eat.
Then she has nothing to worry about.
Finally, Song Xianyin finished her meal in the office. She had come on an empty stomach, knowing he wouldn't eat anyway.
If he had eaten, they could have eaten together, which would have been a good opportunity to strengthen their relationship, but unfortunately, that didn't happen.
The smell in the office had been completely masked by the aroma of food. Gu Peisi had a headache, and after all this, he was starting to feel hungry too.
He looked at Song Xianyin sitting not far away. She was eating very seriously, her mouth stuffed full, and she didn't look sad at all.
She was crying to him one second, questioning why he wouldn't eat the food she cooked, but the next second she was eating it herself.
Song Xianyin noticed Gu Peisi's gaze. She looked at him, then at her lunchbox, and looked at him warily: "What's wrong, Peisi? Are you hungry? But I'm almost finished eating."
Looking at the lunchbox, which was still clearly full, Gu Peisi was silent for a moment before saying, "It's nothing."
Song Xianyin breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought he wanted to eat her food.
The food my aunt cooked today was so delicious that she was a little reluctant to share it with him.
Even while eating, Song Xianyin didn't forget her image as a kind and understanding person.
"Pei Si, don't scold Secretary Lin. I barged in on my own. It has nothing to do with him."
Gu Peisi looked at her with a half-smile: "Miss Song is quite kind."
Song Xianyin smiled at him apologetically: "It's nothing. That's just my flaw. Some people even call me a saint. I didn't mean to be one."
Gu Peisi raised an eyebrow and remained silent.
Is it the Virgin Mary?
He remembered the first time he saw her; she was standing arrogantly in front of a group of people.
“I am the daughter of the Song family. The Song family’s money is my money. You bunch of poor bastards must listen to me.”
He and her brother were standing on the attic at the time. Everyone said that Song Jiaxin's illegitimate daughter was weak and timid, but they didn't expect her to have two faces.
"Ha, she asked for money less than a week after she got home, saying that the young masters and ladies in the circle looked down on her."
Gu Peisi listened quietly to the complaints of the man beside him. Illegitimate daughters are not uncommon in this circle, but this was the first time he had seen one so high-profile upon her return.
