Chapter 210: The Boss Has a New Assistant (1)

“What was your big brother’s mood like?”

Gu Shishi glanced over at the clock on the wall.

It was almost 10:30 AM already.

Wonderful. Not only was she late for work, she almost didn’t get up in time to make breakfast for the boss.

Huo ChuChu preciously put her cellphone into her pocket. “You want to hear the truth?”

Even her head of short, rebellious hair seemed smooth and soft today.

Gu Shishi’s lips twitched.

Huo ChuChu, “I have not yet summoned up the courage to walk out of this room the entire morning.”

Gu Shishi took a deep breath before she slowly brought up the system’s interface.

The dang passive effect of being drunk!

It’s going to cost her her life!

Worried, she checked her stats and her eyes widened right away.

[Remaining Life Balance: 10 days]

[Fondness of the Male Lead: LV4. 22% progress to LV5.]

[Acknowledge of Others: LV3. 90% progress to LV4.]

Happiness had arrived way too soon!

The Fondness of Male Lead had stayed at LV3 just the night before. And now it had broke through to LV4?

Along with 22% progress toward LV5?!

Even Acknowledge of Others was only a skip and a hop away from LV4!

Once that levelled up, she’d be able to live up to 30 days.

And that could happen any day now!

Gu Shishi covered up her face and almost laughed out loud.

Bigger the risk, bigger the reward. The system was so right!

This drinking skill was quite useful?

Gu Shishi was so incredibly happy right now.

So that’s what the tsundere Huo Sishen liked, huh?

Her cheeks turned entirely red right away, all from shame.

Truth was, if that’s the kind of drawings that he enjoyed.

She had plenty of other unspeakable styles that he could choose from other than the after-shower ones.

Gu Shishi started plotting immediately.

A soft and fragile voice rang from next to her.

“I’m sorry. I had misunderstood you.

“You are very talented, smart and beautiful. You are good enough for my brother.

“You have done much more than I did… over these past several years…”

Huo ChuChu had lowered her white head.

“Please, stay with my brother and take care of him for me…”

Gu Shishi raised her brows. “You are taking off?”

Huo ChuChu smiled bitterly and nodded. “My big brother allowing me to stay the night was already the happiest thing that had happened to me in the past 15 years.”

Gu Shishi suddenly recalled her new assignment.

To allow Huo ChuChu to stay over whenever she wanted to.

But now she was hesitant about it.

Both the brother and the sister had been hurt in the past. Forcing them into anything might not necessarily be the best move.

If the timing wasn’t the best right now, then she’d push this assignment out further.

She did not want Boss Huo to be hurt again.

She could only imagine how he’d retreat back behind his thick shell and block out any care and concerns from others if accidents, however minor, befell on Huo ChuChu.

Thinking about that, Gu Shishi also smiled bitterly.

By now, he was not only someone that she relied on to stay alive, he was also like a friend to her.

Living under the same roof and having showed her kindness so many times, she also wanted to protect him for once.

“Think it through and listen to your heart.”

Gu Shishi nodded.

“Have the chauffeur take you back?”

Huo ChuChu acknowledged but turned back around just when she was about to walk out of the door.

“Sis… sister-in-law, can I ask you for one more favor?”

The way Huo ChuChu had addressed to her made Gu Shishi blushed.

But what she said after that truly stunned her.

Huo ChuChu, too, seemed to feel a bit awkward.

“Can you please help me draw a series of comics?

“The title will be The Childhood of My Brother and I…”

“Huh?”

Inside the highest 22nd floor of HB’s China headquarter.

Huo Sishen was listening to Siyi’s reports from behind his desk.

Half an hour later, he nodded and signed the document.

After he had stepped out, he was stopped by a soft and delicate voice.

“Boss.

“My name is Xu Jiao and I am your new assistant. This is my first day.”
