The master replied very quickly.
He didn't ask her where she went today, but based on Shen Mi's understanding of him, he could sense a hint of displeasure between the lines.
She quickly explained: I was given an overtime assignment, are you angry
dsm: What New Year gift do you want
Huh? He doesn't seem angry.
But it could also be that he was being magnanimous.
Shen Mi wanted to coax him, so he said sweetly: I like everything you give me!
Then throw over a cute little loli emoticon that says "I love you".
dsm: Yeah
*
The next day, Shen Mi received a refrigerator and an air conditioner.
My first reaction was that it was a gift from my master.
I sent WeChat to confirm and it was true.
Shen Mi was about to return it, but the installation engineer persuaded her: "Sister, it's Chinese New Year, and we got up early in the morning for this business. Just accept it!"
"That's right, this is a New Year's gift from your boyfriend. It would be a bad omen if you return it to him."
"Yes, yes, my boyfriend is not a person who returns goods."
Shen Mi: “…”
Then you really can't retreat.
A few technicians installed it quickly, the refrigerator was powered on, and the air conditioner blew out warm air.
Shen Mi touched the new refrigerator, which was enough for her to store food for a week. She stood in front of the air conditioner again, feeling the warm breeze, which made her feel sweet.
This winter won’t be cold.
She thought that when she saved enough money, she would buy her master a gift worth no less than 20,000 yuan.
The caller ID on my cell phone shows “Boss”.
Shen Mi picked up the phone: "Morning, Boss."
Xie Rongzhuo: "Go downstairs."
I didn't expect him to come so early. Shen Mi answered the phone with one hand and picked up her coat with the other hand, hooked her bag and went to the door to put on her shoes.
"Okay, right away."
She hurried over and got into the car. While Xie Rongzhuo was driving and not paying attention to her, Shen Mi secretly replied to her master.
Shen Mi: I accept the gift.
Shen Mi: Today is also a day to love you~
Xie Rongzhuo's cell phone rang twice.
Shen Mi immediately turned off his phone and sat up straight with elegance and grace.
The master didn’t reply.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and his family should have a lot of guests to receive, so Shen Mi didn't think much about it.
etc.
Gift... She left the air conditioner on!
Shen Mi suddenly turned his head to look at Xie Rongzhuo, weighing the choice between the electricity bill and the salary deduction.
The price should be about the same.
It’s better not to offend your boss.
But it is shameful to waste water and electricity!
Xie Rongzhuo noticed the discomfort of the people around her. She glanced at him from time to time, her fingers scratching the seat belt with a tormented expression.
Xie Rongzhuo tilted his head: "Did you forget to bring something?"
Shen Mi nodded quickly: "My air conditioner is not turned off."
The car merged into the traffic flow and turned around at the previous intersection, "Go back and turn off the car."
"Okay." Shen Mi didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shen Mi." Xie Rongzhuo held the steering wheel and looked straight ahead: "Just tell me what you want to do in the future."
"Okay boss."
Shen Mi wanted a pay raise, but she didn't dare to say it directly.
*
Shen Mi accompanied Xie Rongzhuo for two days of meals.
Xie Rongzhuo gave her a heavy red envelope as overtime pay.
Shen Mi went home and counted the money. The total was 20,000. Spending the New Year with the boss, 10,000 a day. I wonder if this good thing will happen again next year.
Shen Mi didn't dare to share this with her master, fearing that he would think too much and she would subconsciously consider his feelings. Shen Mi could sense her own little thoughts and didn't intend to deny her true feelings.
—She likes the master.
It wasn't because she was touched by his kindness to her, she knew this feeling clearly. Ke Zhan had been nice to her in the past, but she had never been so moved.
Either don't be tempted, or be tempted twice.
But she prefers four years of companionship, believing that kind of heartbeat is more real and lasting.
As for Xie Rongzhuo, Shen Mi classified his affection for him as "the physiological stress response caused by the body and skin."
She kept reminding herself in her mind to blur out her abnormal feelings towards him and to be loyal.
She promised Xie Rongzhuo that she would not talk about love for ten years and focus on work. Everyone has a sentimental side. Shen Mi thought that she should not be the first person to be slapped in the face. It hurts to slap the face of this person who has been with her for more than four years.
Moreover, as long as she didn't say it, Xie Rongzhuo would not know that she was secretly in love.
After going through a period of wavering between feelings of double excitement, Shen Mi recently felt a sense of guilt similar to "betrayal" towards his master.
Her mentality now is just like that of a cheating scumbag.
She wanted to make it up to him, so she became particularly clingy to him, messaging him constantly during the day and sleeping with him connected on the phone at night.
Listening to the gentle breathing on the other end of the phone, Shen Mi blushed and her heart beat fast, and she felt like she was in love.
She really only likes him.
Everything else is an illusion.
On the fifth night of the New Year, Shen Mi logged into the game, teleported to his master's side, and clicked on him for a hug.
The cool and beautiful lady in the game is holding the cute little loli, the picture is beautiful and warm.
Shen Mi opened the mall, looked at the New Year limited-time skins, and sent a message to his master.
Mysterious Newbie: What skin do you want
Mysterious Newbie: Buy whatever you want, I have money!
How mysterious:
Afraid that he would not accept it, Shen Mi urged him: White? Green? Choose one.
How mysterious: Green
He is worthy of being the man she likes, and his aesthetic taste is consistent with hers.
Shen Mi immediately recharged his account and bought two sets, and gave the green one to "Duo Mi Mi".
A few minutes later.
What a mystery: Why are you wearing white
Mysterious Little Rookie: It’s more cost-effective to buy two colors
How mysterious:…
*
The holiday is gone in the blink of an eye.
On the day of resuming work, all the company employees received red envelopes from their leaders. Ning Xinlei came around with a folder in her arms and asked Shen Mi in a low voice: "Did the boss give you a red envelope?"
Shen Mi glanced at the tightly closed office door: "No."
Ning Xinlei: "No way? Even someone as stingy as Lao Gao gave him two hundred."
"Forget it." Shen Mi thought, he earned a lot from Xie Rongzhuo during this New Year, one should not be too greedy.
"How can we just let it go? Here we call it asking for red envelopes, which means good luck and good fortune. It has nothing to do with the amount of money."
Shen Mi thought it made sense.
Xie Rongzhuo is so good at making money, it would be a good idea to ask him for a favor and improve your luck.
She knocked on the president's office door with the documents in her arms.
Xie Rongzhuo's attention was on the computer. He stretched out his hand towards her. Shen Mi put the pen in his hand and turned the document to the last page. Xie Rongzhuo lowered his head and signed one by one.
Shen Mi didn't leave holding the folder.
Xie Rongzhuo turned his head to look at her: "Anything else?"
Shen Mi smiled: "Boss."
Xie Rongzhuo: “Hmm?”
Shen Mi: "Happy New Year."
Xie Rongzhuo seemed stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yeah." He turned around and continued to browse the emails.
Shen Mi: “…”
After walking out of the office, Shen Mi took the cup of water to the tea room. Ning Xinlei was lying in ambush at the door: "How is it, have you given it to me?"
Shen Mi shook his head: "No."
Ning Xinlei: "What did you say?"
"Just, Happy New Year."
Ning Xinlei suddenly realized: "If you say that, he won't be able to react. You should say, Boss, Happy New Year! In our opinion, this is the meaning of red envelope!"
Are there so many rules for asking for red envelopes
Shen Mi didn't dare to disturb Xie Rongzhuo from working anymore, and went back to his workstation to order lunch for him.
At lunch, she suddenly said, "Wish you good fortune and prosperity."
Xie Rongzhuo: “?”
"Want a red envelope?"
Shen Mi: “…”
In the afternoon, all employees in the President's Office received red envelopes from the boss.
Ning Xinlei counted the money and wished she could kowtow to Shen Mi: "When one person succeeds, everyone else will benefit! Secretary Shen, it has to be you!"
Shen Mi, who had been counting money in the office for the whole afternoon, looked haggard: "You're welcome."
One million. Together with a few finance sisters, she gave out a cash red envelope worth one million!
Her hands are cramping!
Next time, whoever wants to say it can say it, but she is not going to say "Wish you great prosperity" to Xie Rongzhuo.

After get off work, Zhang Zhiqing asked Shen Mi to have dinner with her. When Shen Mi arrived at the restaurant, he found that Xie Rongzhuo was also there.
Seeing Shen Mi, Zhang Zhiqing felt like she had found a savior. She took her arm and sat down: "Happy New Year, Mi Mi. Wish you good fortune and prosperity!"
Shen Mi pinched his sour fingers and said, "Happy New Year."
She doesn't dare to spend this fortune for the time being.
Shen Mi was initially reserved as she suddenly had to face her boss again after get off work, but she discovered that Zhang Zhiqing was even more uncomfortable than her, curled up in her seat with an expression like a primary school student who had made a mistake.
The phone vibrated. It was Zhang Zhiqing.
—I’m sorry Mimi, I really didn’t want to face my uncle alone, so I lied to you.
Shen Mi turned his head and met Zhang Zhiqing's weak, pitiful and helpless expression.
She rolled her eyes and motioned Shen Mi to look at his phone.
Her message popped up in the chat box: I don’t want to go to work anymore, but I’m scared when I see my uncle and I dare not say it!
Shen Mi: You want me to give you courage
Zhang Zhiqing: Yeah!
Shen Mi: Am I not afraid of him
Zhang Zhiqing: I heard from my colleagues at the company that my uncle is really attracted to you and you are the only one who can coax him!
Zhang Zhiqing: My life is in your hands! If he gets angry with me, you must help me hold him back!
Zhang Zhiqing: You must hold me tight, and wait until I run away before letting go. Remember this!
Shen Mi: “…”
Xie Rongzhuo looked at her and said, "Stop playing with your phone."
The two girls simultaneously turned off their phones and sat down obediently.
Xie Rongzhuo: "Eat."
"oh!"
"OK."
The dining table was so quiet that only the sound of dishes and chopsticks could be heard.
Zhang Zhiqing exchanged glances with Shen Mi. Encouraged by Shen Mi, she raised her head tremblingly: "Uncle, I... I think, should I go to school first, no, not go to the company?"
Xie Rongzhuo lowered his eyes to look at Shen Mi. Shen Mi noticed something, looked up to meet his gaze, was stunned for two seconds, then stood up and sat down next to him.
Zhang Zhiqing looked at her in horror, asking with her eyes: "Are you going to stand on my uncle's side?"
Shen Mi signaled her to be patient, picked up the chopsticks, and helped Xie Rongzhuo pick out the onions and coriander from the dish.
Zhang Zhiqing: "…I forgot to tell the waiter not to add onions and cilantro."
Shen Mi raised her head after being kicked on the tip of her toe, and saw Zhang Zhiqing winking at her desperately. Shen Mi understood and kicked back gently to show that she understood.
Xie Rongzhuo turned his head and glanced at her.
Shen Mi lowered her head and continued to pick onions from another dish. After waiting for a long time and not hearing Zhang Zhiqing speak, she kicked her feet to remind her that she could speak.
Her current position is just right to help her stop Xie Rongzhuo.
Seeing that Zhang Zhiqing didn't react, Shen Mi kicked her hard.
Zhang Zhiqing buried her head in her food as if nothing had happened. Shen Mi leaned back slightly in confusion and looked down.
Xie Rongzhuo: "You kicked my foot."
Shen Mi: “…”
Zhang Zhiqing was slow to react and raised her head: "Ah?"
Xie Rongzhuo glanced at her: "What do you want?"
"Oh." Zhang Zhiqing lowered her head aggrievedly, then raised it again: "Ah? Mi Mi, did you kick me?"
"… "
Shen Mi simply said it for her: "Boss, Qingqing wants to continue studying."
"Sure, stay in China and take the postgraduate entrance examination."
Then just continue working.
Zhang Zhiqing gave up struggling and changed the subject abruptly: "By the way, Mi Mi, do you still play games?"
Shen Mi understood what she meant in an instant: "I play occasionally, how about you?"
"I haven't played much. Are you still on the original server?" Zhang Zhiqing tried to find topics to save face.
Shen Mi also cooperated: "That's right."
"Is your master still playing?"
"Here I am."
Speaking of "how mysterious", Zhang Zhiqing suddenly became interested: "I have always been curious, is your master a man or a woman, do you know?"
"Yes, male."
"Have you met?!"
"not yet."
Shen Mi glanced at Xie Rongzhuo next to him, and indicated with his eyes that there was a big Buddha next to Zhang Zhiqing!
Zhang Zhiqing thought of her glorious victory in college and forgot everything for a moment: "It turned out to be a little brother. I thought it was a cool sister! He is really amazing!"
Xie Rongzhuo's voice suddenly sounded: "What's good about a man who is addicted to games all day long?"
Zhang Zhiqing immediately shut up.
After two seconds of silence, Shen Mi whispered, "I'm not particularly obsessed with it."
"He's usually quite busy."
Xie Rongzhuo: "Can you tell the truth from the false across the Internet?"
Shen Mi: "He is very real."
Xie Rongzhuo: "I just trust netizens I've never met."
I don't know what was wrong with Shen Mi, but he suddenly became serious: "No need to meet, I trust him."
Xie Rongzhuo slowly raised his eyelids: "Then do you believe me?"
Shen Mi: "You are different from him."
Xie Rongzhuo's eyes turned cold behind his glasses: "Why are they different?"
"You are you, and he is him." As if to prove something, Shen Mi made no secret of his defense of his master.
"If you have to choose between the two, who would you choose to believe?"
Xie Rongzhuo's tone was calm, but his questions were aggressive.
"I'm sorry, boss. What I sold to you was time and labor, not thoughts and values." Shen Mi gave the answer.
Xie Rongzhuo said nothing more.
Zhang Zhiqing looked at Xie Rongzhuo, then at Shen Mi, and felt a tense atmosphere. It seemed that the uncle had a lot of opinions about Shen Mi's master.
I feel like if we continue talking, my uncle will get angry.
"Mi Mi, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. Let's take you home on the way." Zhang Zhiqing pulled Shen Mi and was about to leave in a hurry.
"Okay." Shen Mi stood up: "Boss, enjoy your meal."
It was a bad breakup.
After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Zhiqing kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, Mimi, I shouldn't have called you over. My uncle said that because he was afraid that you would be cheated. Don't be angry."
This was the first time Shen Mi refuted Xie Rongzhuo. He had no idea what she and her master had experienced together, so she had no right to judge his character, so her tone was a bit aggressive.
But even if she was given another chance, she would still choose to protect her master.
Besides, it was after get off work, her mouth belonged to her and she had no obligation to take care of her boss's mood.
This is true, but Shen Mi thought about the time she spent with Xie Rongzhuo, his care for her, his guidance on her work, and the New Year's Eve dinner that came as a timely help...
I couldn't tell if it was guilt or something else, but I suddenly felt empty inside.
She began to regret her attitude just now.
"Qingqing, was my attitude particularly bad just now?"
Zhang Zhiqing opened her frightened eyes and nodded: "I've never seen you so cold before, as if you think of my uncle as an enemy."
"Not really?"
"Really. Although you didn't say anything, I feel like you'll kill my uncle for your master in the next second."
"… "
Shen Mi didn't realize it at all.
It’s over. Tomorrow will definitely not be a good day.
*
The next morning, Lao Zhou was waiting downstairs on time.
"Good morning." After Shen Mi got on the bus, he smelled a faint floral scent and turned around to see a bouquet of roses on the seat next to him.
She was startled and immediately asked Lao Zhou to pull over.
It should be well known that Xie Rongzhuo is allergic to flowers.
Shen Mi threw the flowers into the trunk.
Lao Zhou: "Secretary Shen—"
"Let's go." Shen Mi nodded, indicating that she would keep her mouth shut.
Lao Zhou: "Okay, okay."
Lao Zhou was a good person. After a while, Shen Mi couldn't help but remind him: "Lao Zhou, don't be so obvious next time."
Lao Zhou was confused: "What?"
Shen Mi: "It will be easy to be discovered if you embezzle the boss's car like this." Xie Rongzhuo has a keen nose.
Lao Zhou slammed on the brakes and turned back with a pale face: "Thank you Secretary Shen for reminding me."
It turned out that the boss had long discovered that he had misappropriated the car to take his nephew to school, and had been giving him opportunities.
…
Shen Mi pushed open the CEO's office. Xie Rongzhuo didn't let her pick him up today. Shen Mi put the breakfast that she hadn't sent out on his desk, and nervously sat back at her workstation to write out her apology.
Impulse is the devil.
Why doesn't she know how to be patient
*
As the car drove away from the luxury residential area, Lao Zhou looked at the rearview mirror carefully.
Xie Rongzhuo leaned back in his chair and asked calmly, "Where are the flowers?"
Old Zhou observed his boss's expression and said, "Secretary Shen... threw it away."
Xie Rongzhuo took off his glasses, lowered his head to wipe them, and said nothing more.
Usually, Lao Zhou would pick up Shen Mi first, then pick him up from Xie Rongzhuo's place and send them both to the company together, but today he had to pick them up separately.
Old Zhou suspected that Xie Rongzhuo had quarreled with Shen Mi, and said, "Boss, Secretary Shen has just graduated. A girl in her early twenties is the most stubborn. If you coax her once, she might get better. If you coax her twice, she might get better."
Xie Rongzhuo had a blank expression on his face.
After a while.
He put on his glasses and said indifferently, "Bring her a bunch of flowers tomorrow."
Lao Zhou: “Okay.”
*
After Shen Mi finished reviewing the draft for the fifth time, Xie Rongzhuo finally arrived. But he didn't look at her, and walked straight into the office, and the door was immediately closed.
She wasn't even given a chance to speak.
"… "
Half an hour later, the office door opened and Assistant Zhang came out first, handing several documents to Shen Mi. Xie Rongzhuo came out shortly after and paused in front of her workstation. Shen Mi immediately followed with her bag.
He had an interview today, and Assistant Zhang gave him the script for the interview.
"bite"-
After the elevator door opened, Shen Mi stepped aside to let Xie Rongzhuo enter first.
She reached out to press the floor button, but Xie Rongzhuo had already pressed the button. Her fingertips accidentally touched the back of his hand, and Shen Mi suddenly retracted her hand.
In the narrow space of the elevator.
Xie Rongzhuo stood next to her. His simple and smooth suit outlined his good figure. His profile was handsome and really eye-catching. Shen Mi couldn't help but look at him twice more.
It wasn't that Shen Mi had just noticed his amazing looks. He was observing his expression, looking for an opportunity to apologize.
"What are you looking at?" The man next to him glanced sideways and suddenly laughed, his tone cold: "Have you ever seen a scumbag?"
The author has something to say:
Content of today's interview: Uncle Xie, do you feel that you cannot compete with others, so you don't want to work hard anymore and take the initiative to lay down
Xie Rongzhuo: Shut up.
