Forcibly Snatched by the Tyrant After Transmigrating into a Book 95

Chapter 95: Extra 4 – Modern CEO AU (Part 1)

Before Chu Yi had even graduated from university, he had already sent out many resumes to the big companies in City A and was fortunate enough to be hired by a top 100 company.

He was already outstanding in his abilities, so he had stayed with the company after graduation.
He had been working for nearly ten years and was considered an old-timer in the company.

Chu Yi sat at his workstation, drinking a freshly brewed coffee, and listened to his colleagues’ idle chatter.

He raised a hand to adjust his glasses and listened carefully.

Colleague A: “Have you heard? Our director got promoted. They say the headquarters is sending a new director.”
Colleague B: “I heard he’s good-looking. I don’t know if it’s true.”
Colleague A: “Hey, I heard he’s still very young, like he hasn’t even graduated yet. Could he be some rich kid sent to the company to play around?”
Colleague C: “Then we have to find out if this new director is single. Maybe one day I’ll become the boss’s wife!”

Colleague B: “All you do all day is daydream. You might as well think about how to improve your own business skills.”

Chu Yi drank half a cup of coffee. When he had heard enough of the gossip, he stood up, took the printed schedule from the printer, and walked toward the director’s office.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door. Only after getting the command to enter did he push the door open.

The director took the folder and said, “Chu Yi, you’re also an old-timer in the company. The company has decided…”

Hearing these words, Chu Yi guessed that they were going to fire him and immediately asked in return, “Director, is the company going to fire me?”

The director was stunned for a second before replying, “The company is going to promote you. You’ve been promoted. When the new director arrives next week, you’ll move to the office next door.”

Chu Yi was puzzled. What did a small secretary like him need an office for? And where could he be promoted to? Chief secretary, one of a kind? Wasn’t that just a top-tier workhorse…
He smiled faintly and asked the director, “Director, may I ask why the company is promoting me?”

The director sized up Chu Yi and couldn’t help but sneer. But his face was still as usual. “It’s the company’s decision. I don’t know either. You just do your job well and don’t cause any trouble for the new director.”

Chu Yi was still confused when he sat back at his workstation. Logically, it shouldn’t have been his turn for a promotion. How could such a good thing fall from the sky?

On the first day of the new director’s appointment, Chu Yi was stuck in traffic on his way to work. He had finally been willing to spend money on a taxi, but he had been rear-ended…

During the morning rush hour, it was difficult to get another taxi.

In the end, he was half an hour late. He tiptoed into the office and had just sat down when someone knocked on the door.

Chu Yi felt very guilty. He quickly stood up and asked, “Who are you looking for?”

He seemed to feel the person’s gaze fall directly on him. He felt very nervous and swallowed unconsciously.

The person stared at the beads of sweat on Chu Yi’s forehead, took out a silk handkerchief, and walked up to Chu Rui, intending to hand it to him. “Wipe it. Your forehead is covered in sweat.”

After taking it, Chu Rui’s brows furrowed. He wondered who this person was.
He looked at the person’s suit. The material seemed to be of good quality and should not be cheap. Usually, almost no one wore a suit to work, except for the leaders…

Chu Rui suddenly froze. His voice trembled. “Are you the new director?”

Sheng Qianheng nodded. He met Chu Yi’s gaze and asked in return, “Why, do I not look like it?”

Chu Yi gave an awkward smile, held the silk handkerchief with both hands, and was about to hand it back to Sheng Qianheng. “Hello, Director. This silk handkerchief is too valuable. I dare not accept it.”

Sheng Qianheng raised a hand to cover his lips and coughed, feigning a cold and aloof look. “There’s no reason to take back something I’ve given away. You rest for a moment and then come to my office.”

Chu Yi looked at Sheng Qianheng’s departing back and unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat. Could this be a smiling Buddha?

He folded the silk handkerchief in his hand and gently placed it on his new desk, not daring to stain the boss’s property in the slightest.

Five minutes later, Chu Yi knocked on the director’s office door.
He stood before Sheng Qianheng’s desk, not daring to move at all.

Sheng Qianheng glanced at Chu Yi. Seeing his awkwardness, he said, “Sit. Don’t be so nervous. I’m also new. There may be many things that I’m not as clear about as you are.”

Chu Yi waved his hand. “I wouldn’t dare. Director, is there anything you need me to handle?”

Sheng Qianheng had never thought that he would have such close contact with Chu Yi. He stared at Chu Yi’s face in a daze. His heartbeat seemed to be getting louder, so much so that he couldn’t hear a single word Chu Yi was saying.

His gaze slowly fell on Chu Yi’s lips. His Adam’s apple bobbed unconsciously, and he asked without thinking, “Are you single?”

Chu Yi was slightly dazed but still replied, “Director, I’m single.”
He thought, could it be that to be this director’s special secretary, one had to be single? Perhaps he had to be on call twenty-four hours a day? This promotion didn’t seem to be a good thing.

Sheng Qianheng nodded. Then he still had a chance! He kneaded the pads of his fingers and continued, “There’s a dinner party tonight. You’ll accompany me.”

Chu Yi blurted out, “Alright, Director.”
But after his brain had processed the information, he realized something was wrong. “Director, I… uh… a dinner party. I probably don’t have a suitable suit. I shouldn’t be able to go with you.”

This reply should be able to get him out of it, right? What he disliked the most were dinner parties. When those big leaders talked business, a secretary like him was just a portable wine jar, blocking drinks for the leader at all times!

Chu Yi couldn’t hold his liquor and didn’t like to drink, so he naturally disliked dinner parties. He saw the smile on Sheng Qianheng’s face slowly fade and was unconsciously afraid.

Sheng Qianheng raised a hand to cover his lips slightly. After a long thought, he finally replied, “After work, I’ll take you to buy a few decent wedding clothes…”

Chu Yi’s head was like a rattle-drum. “Thank you for your kindness, Director, but my salary can’t afford a famous and expensive suit.”

Sheng Qianheng was not willing for the secretary by his side to be dressed shabbily, not to mention that in the future, Chu Yi would not just be his secretary.

He feigned a displeased look and said coldly, “You were late in the morning, and now you’re shirking work. You don’t want to work anymore?”

How could Chu Yi dare? He clenched his fists tightly behind his back, wishing he could rush forward and slap this new director.
“Director, I’ve thought about it. I have nothing to do after work. I will definitely ensure that the work is completed.”

Sheng Qianheng raised an eyebrow, always feeling that it was not good to pressure Chu Yi like this. He had also wanted to leave a better impression on Chu Yi, but now it was probably ruined.
“Get out. Print out today’s schedule and give it to me.”

Chu Yi only felt that he was on pins and needles. He was not used to this independent office. He didn’t even have a chance to eavesdrop on gossip anymore.

He had finally waited until it was time to get off work. He was happy for a moment, then suddenly became dejected.
He still had to “go shopping” with the new director and block drinks at the dinner party.

He and Sheng Qianheng met in the company’s underground parking lot. Just as Chu Yi was about to pull open the back seat door, he heard him say in a strange tone, “Are you treating me as a driver?”

Chu Yi hurriedly got into the passenger seat and replied with a smile, “Don’t blame me, Director. I’m used to sitting in the back when I take a taxi. I forgot for a moment.”

Seeing that Chu Yi hadn’t fastened his seatbelt, Sheng Qianheng was about to reach out and fasten it for him. Just as he raised his hand, Chu Yi had already reached for the seatbelt.
Failed to create intimate contact!

Sheng Qianheng drove to a suit shop that his family had a partnership with. After he had briefly explained a few things to the shop assistant, Chu Yi was taken into the fitting room.

Chu Yi tried on several sets, but Sheng Qianheng was not satisfied with any of them. In the end, he only stopped after he had put on a similar style to the one Sheng Qianheng was wearing.

Sheng Qianheng didn’t know that the set he was wearing had a couple’s version. He secretly had a selfish idea and directly bought this set.

Chu Yi had a quick look at the price. It was equivalent to his annual salary…
He watched as Sheng Qianheng paid without blinking an eye and immediately moved to his side, whispering, “Director, I’ll transfer you some money for this suit every month after I get my salary. It’s really too expensive. I can’t afford so much at once.”

Chu Yi’s faint breath fell on Sheng Qianheng’s ear, making his scalp tingle. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to maintain his gentlemanly appearance. He looked back at Chu Yi and said, “You don’t have to call me by my title after work. Just call me by my name. Since you want to pay for this suit, then let’s add each other’s contact information.”

Only then did Chu Yi realize that after a whole day of work, he, the secretary, still didn’t have his direct superior’s contact information.
He immediately took out his phone and added Sheng Qianheng on WeChat. When he was about to add a note, he didn’t know which characters his name was.

Sheng Qianheng directly took Chu Yi’s phone, added his own note, and then glanced at Chu Yi’s pinned chats. Only after seeing that he really didn’t have a partner did he feel at ease.

When the dinner party started, Chu Yi was already so hungry that he couldn’t stand steadily. He stood by Sheng Qianheng’s side and asked in a low voice, “Director, can I have some snacks to fill my stomach first? I’m really too hungry…”

Sheng Qianheng stared at Chu Yi and said seriously, “Call me by my name, or call me President Sheng. But I prefer to stay away from work titles after work. Do you understand?”

Chu Yi nodded, secretly cursing this new director in his heart. He had so many rules. He should be lying in his rental house playing games at this time. He had never expected that he would be able to mix in with this high-society banquet.

Seeing that Chu Yi’s bow tie was crooked, Sheng Qianheng reached out and carefully straightened it for him, his gaze slowly moving up. The moment he met Chu Yi’s gaze, his breath hitched unconsciously.

He slowly leaned down, inch by inch, until his breath fanned across Chu Yi’s cheek.

Chu Yi didn’t dare to move at all, but this was a little too close. Although he was gay, he had never let outsiders know about this, let alone have any intimate contact with anyone…

He lowered his head, not looking at Sheng Qianheng, trying to calm his racing heart.
Seeing that Chu Yi’s ears were as red as blood, Sheng Qianheng thought that he must be shy. He couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh.

Hearing that this new director seemed to be in a good mood, Chu Yi couldn’t help but ask, “Direc… President Sheng…”

He saw Sheng Qianheng’s brows furrow and immediately changed his address. “Sheng Qianheng, what are you smiling about?”

Sheng Qianheng casually ruffled Chu Yi’s head and said, “I’m smiling at how cute you are.”
