Cross-Dressing Boss with Great Skills × Thick-Skinned Chatterbox Making Do 6

"General Manager." The secretary knocked on the door. "The Li Group is no longer cooperating with our hotels and just sent over a unilateral termination notice."

Frowning as he typed on the keyboard, Wei Jiao said irritably upon hearing this: "If they don't want to cooperate, find someone else to cooperate with, there are plenty better than them, what idiots. Next."

The secretary was not at all surprised by his reaction and continued: "Also, the Li Group just unfollowed our group's Weibo account, and that young president of theirs even posted a Weibo post declaring war, stating he will surpass us and take back the number one throne."

Wei Jiao: "If he's this sick, doesn't his family send him to the hospital for a check-up?" He waved his hand: "Alright, don't bother me with such trivial matters."

The secretary politely closed the door, went downstairs and made his way to the art department, shouting at the door: "General Manager's wife."

The art department staff, who had been busy working, all raised their heads in unison and looked towards a colleague at a spacious workstation. Zou Yan, chewing on a piece of pork jerky, looked up at the door. Seeing that it was this secretary, she showed an expression of 'what trouble has that emperor caused again'.

The secretary put his hands together in prayer, as if worshipping a bodhisattva in a temple: "The general manager doesn't seem to be in a good mood today, please enlighten him at noon, we have a big meeting in the afternoon, for the sake of our physical and mental safety, please save us, Madam! This believer is willing to eat vegetarian at noon to repay Madam."

Zou Yan: "...Received."

She actually didn't quite understand why, after marrying into a wealthy family, she still had to stay in her original work position and continue to shine, couldn't being the boss's wife get her any special treatment? A raise would have been nice, but her general manager husband told her that the special treatment for the general manager's wife was being able to openly eat snacks during work hours.

Therefore, her workstation was very large, with snacks piled up beside it, making a group of colleagues extremely envious, often swallowing their saliva at the sight of her. Occasionally when working late and no one ordered late-night snacks, everyone would swarm over and divide up her snacks - anyway, as long as they ran out, the general manager would replenish them, and they were all tasty too.

Of course, the premise was not to be discovered by the general manager; if he found out someone was stealing his wife's snacks, he would dock their pay as punishment.

Fresh flowers, fruits, and snacks were Zou Yan's daily workstation setup. Occasionally, she would also receive a general manager who came down to relax - when others got tired from work, they would go to the rest area to exercise or look at the scenery in the park, only Wei Jiao would come down to see his wife, stretching his long legs to the side, watching Zou Yan eat snacks and draw with dead fish eyes. After watching enough and feeling happy, he would then be invited back to work by the secretaries.

Not long after the secretary had come, General Manager Wei came downstairs and sat beside Zou Yan to conduct a leadership inspection.

"The colors in this set of drawings are too ugly, change to a different color scheme." He pointed and gestured.

Under his request, Zou Yan changed to three color schemes, and finally Wei Jiao said: "The first set still looks the best."

Zou Yan gave him a fake smile: "The boss really has good taste." A crisp biscuit made a crunching sound as it broke in her mouth.

Wei Jiao took out his phone, flipped through it, and showed her the Weibo of Li Ye, the president of the Li Group, changing the subject, "Look at this idiot, he just declared war on us, does he even know what a small fry he is."

Zou Yan knew about this Li Group, and this young president was said to change girlfriends more frequently than he changed underwear, but he was indeed quite handsome. "I remember seeing his photos, he seems quite handsome, this domineering CEO," Zou Yan said.

Wei Jiao's face pulled, looking at Li Ye's Weibo profile picture, his gaze instantly changed from looking at an idiot to looking at an enemy. He snorted coldly and left, leaving only a swivel chair spinning in circles, showing how angry the owner was before leaving.

Zou Yan shrugged and continued eating the small crisp biscuits.

Busy searching for news of the female lead and his son, Li Ye was summoned back to the company for a meeting by twelve consecutive calls from the secretarial team. Being the president used to be very easy for him, just making decisions on major matters was enough, usually he would be out picking up girls and enjoying a life of wine and women. But after he issued a declaration of war, things suddenly took a sharp turn.

A small cooperation with Wei Group expired, and he decided not to continue cooperating with the other party and sought a new, higher-quality partner. As a result, a big contract he had his eye on was signed by Wei Group. Not only that, Wei Group also released news that they were preparing to expand the scale of their hotel operations, and hotels were the foundation of the Li Group's existence. Wei Group previously focused on games and the internet, but now their hotel business was booming, and such a rapid rise would inevitably squeeze the Li Group's market share.

In short, Wei Group seemed to have been angered by CEO Li Ye's declaration and used actions to show contempt for him. A group of old shareholders in the group couldn't sit still and held a meeting with Li Ye, this neglectful president, piling all kinds of issues that needed to be resolved on him one by one, making him completely unable to leave the company, let alone go all over the place to find traces of the female lead.

While Li Ye was in the company dealing with Wei Group's endless troubles with a cold air, the temporarily forgotten female lead Guo Rong and her son Guo Qian had already moved into the home of the cross-dressing master Chun Yuxi.

How did things jump to this development? This has to be explained starting from after the release conference for the mobile game "Sword of Magic" ended. With the main business in S City completed, Guo Rong felt there was no need to return home so early, so she took the opportunity to play with Guo Qian in S City for a few more days. After all, she had received a considerable appearance fee, and there were so many famous attractions in S City, it would be a pity to come once and not see them, and her son hadn't had a good look at the prosperity of the big city.

Guo Qian accompanied his biological mother at the risk of his life, bearing pressure he shouldn't have to bear at such a young age. He had to take his phone and take commemorative photos of his biological mother in various scenic spots, finding the best shooting angle for her unoriginal poses - if the photos weren't satisfactory, Guo Rong would throw a tantrum and insist that he make her look very pretty.

After playing for three days, Guo Qian declared with his head held high that he had seen enough of the big city and applied to go home, as he was already eager to go back and play games.

Guo Rong agreed with him. This time, they planned to buy tickets and take the high-speed train home. Just as they were waiting for the train at the station, they encountered a pickpocket, or more accurately, a robber who snatched their bag placed at their feet in broad daylight. The robber had a pair of swift legs, flying out close to the ground and then hopping onto a getaway vehicle, disappearing without a trace in a few moments.

Guo Rong instinctively chased after him for a distance, but realizing she couldn't catch up, she stopped in place, panting heavily and cursing angrily.

Guo Qian also chased after her, out of breath, "Mom, hurry and report it to the police." After witnessing the prosperity of the big city, he also witnessed the pickpockets of the big city, who ran much faster than the petty thieves in C City County.

Guo Rong: "Damn it, my phone was in the bag too!"

All their belongings were in that bag. The mother and son looked at each other, searched all over their bodies, and only found a fifty yuan bill in Guo Qian's pocket.

They reported it to the police, but the police said it was a habitual offender, and that gang often appeared in that area, but they couldn't catch them. The possibility of retrieving their belongings was not very high. After taking notes and such, the police told them to go back first and wait a couple of days for news.

Stranded in a foreign land after being robbed, the mother and son were left with only fifty yuan in total, wandering the streets late at night. Taking a taxi and eating a meal nearly used up the fifty yuan. They spent the last few yuan to buy a loaf of bread, split it in half, and sat on the side of the road to finish it.

They had reached a dead end.

It was at this time that Chun Yuxi appeared. He had just left the studio and was heading home, driving slowly while listening to an elegant radio broadcast reciting poetry, enjoying the loneliness of being alone on the road as night fell. Suddenly, he glanced out the window by chance and saw the desolate mother and son in the night breeze.

With the thought that they were at least acquaintances, he stopped the car to say hello.

"Good evening, I didn't expect to run into you here." Chun Yuxi was about to exchange a few polite words and leave.

Guo Rong looked up at him and discovered he was a very handsome man. For a moment, she didn't react to who he was. It took her a while to let out an "ah" sound. "Ah, it's you!" Without him wearing women's clothing, she almost didn't recognize him.

Chun Yuxi: "It's so late, and you're still out for a walk with your child?"

Guo Rong slowly shook her head, her expression solemn, and said, "No, we were robbed. Now we don't have a penny to our name, and we don't even know where to stay tonight. So I'm planning to take my child to beg."

Chun Yuxi: "???"

"Are you joking with me?" Chun Yuxi asked.

Guo Rong: "Except for the last sentence about going to beg, which was a joke, everything else is true."

Chun Yuxi: "...Then you haven't contacted your husband?"

Guo Rong: "I don't have a husband. I don't even know who the child's father is. And I don't know anyone here. My phone and ID are gone. I still have to wait for news from the police station. I plan to find a place to do some temporary work, like washing dishes at a food stall, to scrape together some money to go back. Before that, could you lend me a hundred yuan? I can't sleep outside at night. I need to take my son to an internet cafe to make do for a night." She spoke as if it was nothing.

Guo Qian, getting into character, suddenly hugged her leg and cried pitifully. "Mommy, I'm hungry."

This was too miserable! Chun Yuxi, very rarely, softened his heart and couldn't help but say, "If you don't mind, you can rest at my place for a night."

Then the mother and son quickly got into his car, taking turns enthusiastically praising him as a good person. Chun Yuxi sobered up, suspecting that his brain had short-circuited just now for him to blurt out such words. But for someone as refined and elegant as him, how could he go back on his word? Since he said it, he still had to treat them well for the night.

He parked the car in the underground garage and took the two of them up in the elevator. He casually asked, "Just following a stranger home like this, aren't you afraid I might have ill intentions?"

Guo Rong glanced at him and grinned. "Are you sure between the two of us, I'm not the more dangerous one?"

Chun Yuxi thought of his own beauty and suddenly startled, thinking: That's right! In terms of beauty, I have the upper hand. I'm the one in more danger!

He started to worry a bit about his own chastity.

The beautiful Chun Yuxi, his heart filled with drama, gentlemanly led the two into his high-rise apartment. As soon as Guo Qian entered, he let out a "wow".

"It's so big and beautiful!" Compared to his own doghouse of a home, little Guo Qian felt that such a clean, elegant, and cozy place was simply legendary.

"Boss, your home is really awesome. It gives the same feeling as you, both beautiful and impressive!" Guo Rong's flattery was smooth, and coupled with her son's sincere admiration, it seemed even more genuine.

Chun Yuxi was pleasantly flattered. Like a virtuous wife and loving mother, he brought them slippers and went to wash some fruit to serve the guests.

Guo Qian sat on the soft sofa, so happy he nearly lay down, while Guo Rong had already lain down. Chun Yuxi came back with the cut fruit and found the big and small ones lying on his sofa, looking blissful as if they were lying on clouds.

Is my sofa really that comfortable? Chun Yuxi thought to himself. He reached out to feel it without changing his expression, thinking it was just so-so, not as comfortable as lying on a bed.

Guo Qian's stomach growled, and Guo Rong's stomach growled at the same time, clearly heard by Chun Yuxi. Guo Qian didn't have his mother's thick skin yet. His little face instantly turned red, and he whimpered, "Baby is so hungry."

Guo Rong sat up and hugged her son, gravely stroking his head. "Son, hold on a bit longer. We're guests in someone else's home now. We can't ask for this and that. Wait until tomorrow when Mommy finds a place to wash dishes and earn money, then I'll buy you something to eat."

Chun Yuxi: "..." Do you really need to put on such a show?

He coughed and sat elegantly on the single sofa, taking out his phone to order takeout. "How can you sleep on an empty stomach? I'll order takeout for you. What do you want to eat?"

Guo Qian: "KFC!"

Guo Rong: "No way, eating fried food so late at night!"

Chun Yuxi: "Mm, your mom is right. It's indeed not good to eat fried food this late."

Guo Rong: "Right? For a late-night snack, we should eat crayfish. Please get four jin of crayfish."

Chun Yuxi: "...?"

Guo Rong: "I also want two bottles of iced beer."

I even started to feel a bit sorry for Little Green.
