Gu Xiyu opened the mailbox and found that the original owner had submitted a resume to Fengming before.
If it weren’t for the fact that the mail came from the same address where the original owner had submitted a resume, he would have wondered if someone was playing a prank on him.
Gu Xiyu didn’t mean to look down on the original owner, but the Fengming Group was a large and well-known company. The original owner’s grades were mediocre; he had a lot of demerits from his rebellious times in school, and he also didn’t participate in any special projects or activities at college. Although he graduated successfully, how could he be easily admitted with Fengming Group’s level of selection?
What’s more, he recently had a record of being fired from the Liyang Group, one of the famous domestic companies.
Fengming Headquarters actually accepted an employee that Liyang didn’t want?
[System, the second mission has already started, do you really have nothing more to tell me?]
There has been no communication on the magic panel for days, and Ji Chen was sitting in the conference room when he got this question.
“According to market survey data, 49% of the currently targeted consumer groups are more inclined to choose Fengming’s products, and there is an 8% increase compared to last year…” The head of the sales department was reporting the department’s situation passionately.
It took Ji Chen a while, but he finally figured out how to use this thing called the system.
There was a lot of information on the panel, but most of the information that was directly or indirectly related to him was locked in a red frame. He also found that the information locked in the red frame could not be moved without authorization no matter what he did, and it seemed that the person connected on the other side of the system also couldn’t get it.
The other party could see only a few contents within the blue frame.
Therefore, Gu Xiyu always felt that the amount of information he received was very poor.
A small part of the content was also locked in a yellow frame, and Ji Chen could choose whether to send this information to Gu Xiyu or even split it and send a small section of it.
For example, there was a lot of relevant information about the Fengming Group in the yellow frame, including monitoring blind spots, which would be very helpful for Gu Xiyu’s mission. There was also the information that Gu Xiyu always wanted to know about, for example, his personal information and relationship with everyone in the Ji family, which was also written very clearly.
There were even some photos that he had seized from the news media by hook or crook.
When this thing first appeared, Ji Chen always thought it was helping Gu Xiyu to stop him.
Just like those in the Ji family, Ji Zixuan was favored in order to restrict his development for inexplicable and ridiculous reasons. Even when he relied on his own hands and hard work, he was not qualified to be successful according to them.
However, after careful study, he realized that this thing called the system was actually protecting him. It even gave him a chance to know about the existence of these issues and Gu Xiyu’s next plan.
But why would the system help him?
It clearly seemed to be Gu Xiyu’s partner.
Ji Chen’s eyes fell on the latest mission content, and he narrowed his eyes.
That person looked better than he had expected. His hair looked soft to the touch; he was slender and tall and looked fragile, as if he would dissolve with a single touch. However, his heart was calmer and more ruthless than anyone else’s.
It’s a pity.
If the mission had been released a day ago, he would not have let him in so easily.
“Ahem.”
Jin Ke coughed and put down his hand, quietly looking in Ji Chen’s direction.
The head of the sales department had finished reporting for a while, but the person in the main seat hadn’t spoken a word until now, only looking straight ahead with a dark expression, which brought an invisible pressure to everyone.
Generally, when Ji Chen did not speak after listening to a report, it meant that the person who had just finished his speech would suffer, but the annual summary results of the sales department were actually very good this time, so there was no place to be reprimanded. Knowing that Ji Chen has been having such reactions from time to time recently, Jin Ke had no choice but to remind him politely.
Unexpectedly, Ji Chen glanced at him immediately, so he obviously wasn’t in a daze as he thought.
The screen of the mobile phone in front of Ji Chen suddenly lit up. The sender was someone saved as “little spy.”
He took a look and withdrew his gaze, then said to the trembling subordinates: “Where is the next department?”
[My dad had a car accident at noon today. He hopes that you can help tell that friend of yours, “Boss Yang,” to accept his apology. Also, if he has time, then please ask him to set another appointment.]
After confirming that there were no typos in the message sent, Gu Xiyu exited the contact interface with “Chen Jin”.
The system’s mechanical voice suddenly rang out.
[The Fengming Group was pioneered and founded by Ji Chen six years ago.]
Gu Xiyu came back to life.
[It is a large company with great strength, integrity, and prestige.]
Gu Xiyu: “Is…that all?”
The system did not answer his question but dumped another piece of information.
[Ji Chen.
Height: 185 (cm)
Blood type: AB
Constellation: Scorpio
Preferences.…]
The more Gu Xiyu read, the more he lost his ability to control his expression. In the end, he simply moved his consciousness and closed his eyes, temporarily blocking the system.
What do Ji Chen’s preferences and six-pack abs have to do with his mission?
After being depressed for a while, Gu Xiyu asked again: “What about a photo? At least let me know what the target looks like.”
The system sent him a photo.
The person said to be Ji Chen in the photo was small and chubby, he was only the size of his knuckles, and you couldn’t even guess what he currently looked like from this.
“?”
[Ji Chen is very vigilant. It will be faster if you go and directly meet him.]
“I thought you were called the ‘system’ because you could get things that others couldn’t.”
[Sorry, I cannot.]
Gu Xiyu: “…”
Can he apply to the Bureau for another system?
The latest super-intelligent system that no one has used before was not suitable for him at all.
Gu Xiyu went around the city for a while. He didn’t want to go home. When he put his hand in his trouser pocket, he happened to touch the apartment key “Chen Jin” gave him. He took the clearly creased note and finally entered the address on the navigation.
It was almost the end of office time, and traffic on the road started to get congested, so it took him a little longer than expected to arrive.
Chen Jin’s apartment was on the highest floor of the building, covering the entire floor.
Gu Xiyu was a little surprised when he opened the door and saw the decor of the house. The interior was simple, with an indifferent black and white style. There were not many things, but the necessary basic furniture was there. It was also very clean.
He accidentally kicked something when he walked into the hallway. When he looked down, it was a pair of furry slippers that looked very warm. The tip of the slippers had a small black tiger design, and the big amber eyes stared at him fiercely.
They were pretty cute.
When he was coming up, he checked information about Ji Chen on the Internet. The system did not deceive him, there was hardly any actual photo of Ji Chen on the Internet, which he found a little weird. No matter how vigilant someone is, there will always be a few photos accidentally leaked.
But Ji Chen was that good. All of the photos were as unclear as the one the system sent.
Gu Xiyu had just walked to the sofa in the living room when the news page on the phone refreshed. He glanced at the dark gray coat lying on the sofa and sat down beside it.
[The will of the old patriarch of the century-old, wealthy Ji family is suspected to have been exposed. It is reported that the next patriarch will be his youngest grandson, Ji Zixuan?]
—“The media is really idle. They don’t pay attention to major national events but cling to other people’s family affairs every day.”
—“It must be fake. Although the young master has just returned and has some work experience overseas, he is definitely not better than the youngest son of the patriarch…”
—“Ji Yan is also really miserable. He had three wives and five sons in his entire life, but the result is that his oldest son is now paralyzed, the second passed away a few years ago, the third is still in jail for who knows how long, and the fourth child just wants to paint and doesn’t know anything about business. The youngest one is developing very well, but why didn’t he pass his hierarchy to him?”
—“The rich and powerful always have a lot going on. In the early years, it was rumored that the last person Ji Yan wanted to see was his youngest son, Ji Chen, born to his third wife. This revelation has been around for a while now. It has already been fabricated into many other small, detailed speculations with some evidence, but there are still a bunch of people who don’t believe it.”
—“Tsk tsk tsk, I think the will of that old man is now the best evidence, right? Ji Chen just doesn’t get along with the Ji family!”
—“Is that weird? He was born to such a slutty mother. If I were his father, I also wouldn’t want to see him.”
—“What’s the problem with the one upstairs? The paternity test was done that year, and Ji Chen is Ji Yan’s biological son! The person who cheated was his mother, what does it have to do with him? Besides, the news also said the will’s contents are just speculation. Before they make it public, everything is just speculation!”
Below were the passionate discussions among the creative netizens. Gu Xiyu went over a few reports and finally got a general idea. He also managed to find a picture of the dead Ji Yan and his young grandson-that is, this world’s male protagonist, Ji Zixuan.
Ji Zixuan was the male protagonist of this small world, and his appearance could be said to be very good; even Gu Xiyu couldn’t help but look at it more.
Gu Xiyu was staring at Ji Zixuan intently when, from the corner of his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something squirming under the coat beside him. Before he could reach out and remove the coat, a white fluffy head jumped out first.
It was a white cat.
This healthy cat didn’t expect to see someone, and it pounced on Gu Xiyu after a moment of stupor. However, Gu Xiyu caught it before it could even touch him, so it hung in midair like that. The sky-like blue eyes looked at the person in front of them, two pairs of eyes staring at each other in a similar daze.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the door at this moment.
This was the picture Ji Chen saw when he raised his eyes, the two heads, one large and one small, turned towards him in unison.
The small one was hugged by a stranger, but it didn’t panic, and its long tail was swinging leisurely behind it. Although the big one’s expression was still as indifferent as it was when they first met, he still caught the surprise that quickly flashed through his eyes.
Gu Xiyu originally wanted to find a quiet place to stay for a while, but he did not expect that his marriage partner had already moved into the so-called ‘new house’ ahead of time.
The person at the door looked in his direction, and suddenly called out, “Xixi!”
Gu Xiyu was taken aback, but the cat he was holding suddenly struggled in his arms when it heard its name. It jumped to the floor and quickly walked towards the other party.
The man touched the cat that jumped on the shoe rack and whispered to it, “Xixi has worked hard watching the house.”
Gu Xiyu: “…”
He inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing the man walking towards the living room, he got up and said, “I’m sorry, I just came to check out the place, I’ll leave soon.”
“It’s okay.” The man threw the key on the dining table. “I only come here occasionally. I won’t be here at most times, so you can live here if you want.”
Gu Xiyu neither refused nor accepted.
Ji Chen loosened his tie and turned on the heating in the house. Looking back, he saw that Gu Xiyu was about to leave, and he called him: “Come here.”
Gu Xiyu was only wearing a dark cotton-padded jacket, with a high collar that covered all of his neck. This silent appearance looked particularly obedient and easy to control.
When Gu Xiyu walked over, Ji Chen raised his hand and hooked his collar with his index finger, gently pulling it down.
He looked down at Gu Xiyu’s neck, which was as fair and beautiful as his face, he could even feel the pulse underneath.
“Do you know what you should do and what needs to be done after marriage?” The speaker’s voice was low and magnetic. Gu Xiyu felt Ji Chen’s fingers move away from his collar, the thumb lightly nudging the tip of his chin and rubbing it threateningly and suggestively.
Gu Xiyu didn’t like the feeling of being treated as prey, but he wasn’t afraid of the potential threat too.
He raised his eyes to meet the dark gaze of the other party, and answered calmly: “I know.”
The person in front of him chuckled and lowered his head to reduce the distance between them. He could even feel their breaths gradually mixing together as he said: “What? You’ll obediently do everything?”
“I prefer to call it cooperation.” Gu Xiyu replied, “As long as it is within the legal scope.”
A few seconds later, the person in front of him let him go and walked towards the room without looking back, saying, “I’m a little tired today, we’ll do it next time.”
Gu Xiyu saw the other person’s eyes before he retracted; he saw no desire in Ji Chen’s eyes at all, his eyes even seemed to have some coldness.
The other party’s emotional fluctuations were too fast. That kind of performance was obviously inconsistent with what he heard about Chen Ji, but perhaps it was an illusion.
The tall man quickly came out of the room with some extra personal items in his hand. Then he put on his clothes again, as if he were about to go out again.
“Wait for me here at nine o’clock this weekend; my family wants to see you.”
After changing his shoes, Ji Chen wanted to take away the cat lying on the side, but then put it down and said to Gu Xiyu: “It’s called Xixi, if you have time, come and help me feed it every day and clean up its litter.”
With that, he went out.
The large apartment was quiet again, leaving only one person and one cat staring at each other.
Gu Xiyu returned home after doing what the other party had instructed. Gu Xun was still in the hospital, and Xu Caiting was also not present. The villa looked even more deserted than the luxurious apartment.
He was just about to go to bed after taking a shower when a notification popped out.
PET HOUSE: [“Picture” “Picture” “Picture”]
PET HOUSE: [Mr. Gu, the cats, and dogs you sent here this afternoon have been settled in the base and cleaned. The shop owner asked me to send you a picture! ]
Gu Xiyu responded with a thank you and then transferred 1,000 yuan to the other party.
The browser page on the mobile phone was still on a certain report related to Ji Chen. He swiped it a few times and whispered: “System.”
[?]
“Has Ji Chen done anything illegal?”
After a few seconds of weird silence, the intelligent system asked, [What kind of illegal things are you referring to?]
“Has he done illegal things like murder and arson for profit and achievement?”
As a villain, there will definitely be some black materials about him. If he could get those things and send them to the PAP shareholders, or find a way to expose him to the public, the transaction might fail. In this way, even Ji Chen’s threat to Ji Zixuan could be reduced.
The system remained silent for a while longer this time.
[No.]
As if to prove the authenticity of the answer, the system repeated with a mechanical tone: [Not even once.]
Gu Xiyu was taken aback when he heard the words, and his foot accidentally bumped the frame of the bed. Then, he heard the sound of something falling from the bottom of the bed.
He bent down and took out an old notebook from underneath, it had a lot of adhesive stickers on it that had lost their stickiness.
He opened it and discovered that it was the original owner’s diary.
Author’s note:
Only Gu Xiyu has the system. The target can see the data loaded by the system because the main soul is bound to the main system. Through the connection between the main soul and its fragments, he is able to be able to see the system panel and can control the data leaked to Gu Xiyu, especially that which may be harmful to him. In addition, the target is also able to have a [dialogue] with Gu Xiyu just like the real intelligent system #
