Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 433 Heartless in a CEO Novel (13)

Friday, afternoon.

People were constantly traveling between the tower and the hotel.

Xia Youmi and the others only needed to sign the contract before noon, and then they were free to do whatever they wanted, whether they wanted to get their hair done or go back to sleep. They could enter the venue before 7 p.m., which allowed them plenty of time.

Yu Li had taken leave, but was unable to attend as a family member.

Today happened to coincide with his maternal grandmother's birthday banquet, which was more than 80 kilometers away from the city. Therefore, the two of them could only pack together, have lunch, and then go their separate ways.

Xia Youmi was always worried, fearing that something might happen in the chaotic scene. So she sent it to a pet park near the ST Hotel, where there were surveillance cameras transmitting the footage to Xia Youmi in real time.

That location is currently the most comfortable distance to cover the entire venue.

Although Xia Youmi could not view the screen simultaneously, she could still get the answer by scanning it.

The little guy has grown quite a bit in three months. As his physical functions gradually recover, he has changed his way of expending energy from daily walks to actively exploring civilized and safe areas.

Resumption of work is being carried out gradually without compromising privacy.

Xia Youmi had no grounds to stop it, only agreeing that it could not be overloaded. It could only use one-third of its energy, at most one and a half-thirds, and if it exceeded two-thirds, it would be forced to love it.

Even though she enjoys being close to him, a sense of shame still creeps in uncontrollably. Year after year, she can't bring herself to advise Xia Youmi to take it easy; she can only try to balance the other person's concern with the limits of her own exploration.

The pet park selects sections for dogs of similar size, most of whom are docile and show curiosity and friendliness towards Niannian. If a dog's temperament doesn't meet the requirements, the park will not grant the owner's application.

To obtain membership here, Xia Youmi and Yu Li each took the test twice, finally managing to attend Friday's dinner.

After cuddling and cuddling with her children for a while, and seeing them off one by one, Xia Youmi drove alone to the ST Hotel.

The timing was perfect, and the outfit was a classic black tuxedo that was sure to be a hit.

She wasn't a true newcomer to the party; while she was meant to appear harmless, she wasn't genuinely boring. Besides the perfectly tailored fit, the fabric wasn't ordinary either; upon closer inspection, it reflected a lustrous sheen under certain lighting angles.

Neither flashy nor depressing.

In addition, her complexion, fair with a healthy rosy hue, is a sign of abundant blood and energy in a woman. Recently, after getting the hang of her job, she's been practicing extra with Nian Nian, picking up some body-strengthening exercises again.

Xia Youmi had studied dance before, so her flexibility was good enough, but she needed to go through her endurance and basic skills again, including her upper and lower limbs, as well as her core muscle groups such as her waist and abdomen.

Having a good foundation means you can be more relaxed, and at this intensity, the muscle development has begun to become more regular.

Even Yu Li has been dragged into this, and recently the two of them have made huge adjustments to their diets and food intake.

These aren't entirely for presenting themselves in better condition, but rather for being able to fight back when facing danger.

Although it's a civilized society, the order established by the domineering CEO still harbors elements of violence. In particular, the male and female protagonists will repeatedly encounter attacks planned by their adversaries. They resolve these attacks flawlessly, but afterwards, they extract every last drop of value from their enemies.

The protagonist won't suffer any losses.

However, Xia Youmi's involvement doesn't guarantee she'll be taken care of. Only by having her own trump card can she feel at ease.

ST Hotel, lobby.

Before even reaching the floor where the banquet was being held, they saw Assistant Lin surrounded by newcomers. These weren't from the secretarial office, and most of them weren't among the people Manager Jin had recruited, so their information was somewhat delayed.

It seems I only just learned that a president's personal assistant had been reassigned to the secretariat.

Although it may seem like he's temporarily away from the president's side, isn't this another form of being given important responsibilities?

Unfortunately, today's occasion, a place where gossip could be openly discussed, meant that everyone in their department was caught socializing. Supervisor Jin arrived early to arrange the flow of events, and no one stopped her beforehand. Lawyer He was nowhere to be seen either; he was clearly there to scout things out!

Therefore, only the gentle Lin Zhu seemed easy to talk to.

"Youmi! Wait, I have something to tell you!"

Xia Youmi was just about to ignore the bustling center and go upstairs to wait in the elevator when Lin Zhu's sharp eyes caught her.

He seemed to have found a way out and began to break through the encirclement.

In an instant, all eyes turned to Xia Youmi. She walked on without changing her expression, stopped in front of the elevator, bowed slightly to everyone, and gently pressed the up button.

Some were chilled by the cold, some were attracted by her figure, and a few stared blankly at her neck exposed after she put her hair up. A beam of top light shone on that spot, obscuring half of her face.

Lin Zhu tried his best to squeeze out, watching his slow movements as he desperately wanted to escape.

It's obvious that finding Xia Youmi was just an excuse; the real reason was to grasp at straws.

But things didn't go as he wished; the elevator arrived.

Xia Youmi looked back, smiled slightly, and stepped directly towards the elevator.

She saw Lin Zhu's wide eyes filled with disbelief, as if he had been petrified and gradually became unable to move. Then he continued to be surrounded by people asking new questions.

As Xia Youmi habitually pressed the close button, she bumped into another large hand. The person behind her must have just come up from the garage. She didn't want to exchange glances, so she didn't look up.

Therefore, it silently retracted after the collision, and the elevator doors closed in silence.

She approached the front half of the elevator car and pressed the button for the 26th floor.

As it swayed and rose, one could almost hear Lin Zhu's helpless roars.

Xia Youmi smiled silently, her shoulders subtly swaying. An Yubei's explanation had successfully portrayed herself to the outside world, but the consequence was that Assistant Lin was thrust into the limelight.

This Assistant Lin is also incredibly shrewd.

Knowing that they couldn't offend those who were outgoing or those with privileged family backgrounds, the best target for their anger was the seemingly harmless Xia Youmi.

But Xia Youmi also wanted to tease him.

This led Lin Zhu to believe that he had Xia Youmi under control. Although he found it a little strange, Xia Youmi was neither a pushover nor a pushover, and his words were pleasant to hear, with no signs of betraying him.

Just like today, Mingming called out to Xia Youmi.

If she were obedient, she should have walked over quietly and accepted Lin's attempt to divert the crowd's attention.

They had already figured out how to get rid of the burden, but this silly goose just stood there, not listening or saying a word.

This made Assistant Lin wonder if the noise was too loud, causing the other party to not hear the cries for help.

"Ha, is that funny?"

"?" Xia Youmi looked up, not turning around, but staring at the image reflected in front of the elevator. The smile on her lips slowly faded as the other person's face came into focus in her mind, and the smile began to turn downwards, her back tensing.

But soon, it was only between one or two floors.

Xia Youmi calmed down, her shoulders relaxed, and her breathing gradually became smoother.

She gave a curt bow to the man behind her, just as she would to everyone in the lobby.

Anyway, it's normal not to know anyone these days.

Her nervousness could be seen as defensiveness after being approached so abruptly; nothing seemed amiss.

"Ding--!"

When they arrived at their floor, Xia Youmi nodded again and quickly walked out in her high heels.

You can't criticize her for being impolite, but her aloofness and arrogance are obvious.

Shao Yunshen did not exit the elevator. After the doors closed completely, he pressed the button for the top floor.

Coincidentally, when he was the only one left, he showed the same smile as Xia Youmi.

The pleasure of teasing a specific object is like seeing a cat with its fur standing on end, the other person angry but helpless, still wagging its tail up and down in protest, and holding its head high.

It's absolutely hilarious to watch from that high place.

Xia Youmi didn't run away as Shao Yunshen had expected. After confirming that the elevator doors had closed, she turned around directly. With her arms crossed, she calmly stared at the floor numbers: thirty, thirty-six, but nothing above that number appeared.

The highest number is clearly thirty-nine, but the last three are not visible.

Therefore, it can only mean that the top three floors are hidden floors, and they are not displayed so that people cannot guess where they went.

She was also puzzled: where was the legendary private elevator for the CEO?

Why did she run into the male lead? This shouldn't have happened.

But then I thought about it again. He has a private elevator at Shenta Group because he needs to go to the company frequently. But ST Hotel clearly doesn't need this feature, so it would be better to open one more to improve the guest experience, which fits the protagonist's profit-driven character.

Xia Youmi composed herself, turned around, and disappeared into the venue.

ST, top floor.

Kim Soon-mi was already waiting there; this conversation with the president was brief but important.

Although Kim Soon-mi had a vague feeling that she had made a mistake when she saw the proposal submitted by the R&D department, President Shao's attitude was even more unpredictable. It was the kind of attitude where he seemed interested even though he knew the other party might be a troublemaker.

As the elevator descended, doubts lingered.

Anything that couldn't be understood was considered dangerous by Jin Shunmei, as was her habit. Her first reaction upon arriving on the 26th floor was to look for Xia Youmi, firing shots left and right until she attracted Luo Yu's attention, at which point she calmed down.
