Negotiate, cash the card, second move.
Isong didn't see anything wrong with that.
In his opinion, the two are just talking about family matters, and Mr. Shen is very "understanding", the words of Mr. Zhou to defend, whether sincere or not, at least on the surface to do it properly.
On the other end of the phone, Sam was silent for a moment, like he understood something, but also like he didn't understand anything, because when he opened his mouth again, his muzzle was nothing unusual: "Mr. Shen has a heart."
Chi Xiaochi replied, "I should."
After a few words, Chi Xiaochi hung up the phone and turned to the entertainment news for a while, but she got something unexpected.
He saw on the news that Zhou Kai was keeping that mouth on the outside.
She attended a charity event last night and an interview with her was being aired on TV.
She is also Asian, in her early 25s, has had few scandals since her debut, and is semi-retired from the modeling world, but is a rising star in the charity world, especially for her dedication to children of color and her reputation.
Good word of mouth means she can't afford to lose.
This girl has been in the industry since, known for her diligence, rarely negative news, Zhou Kai also see this in her, selected her, behind the back of the pusher, push her higher and higher, elevated in the high place, so that flowers and applause will be surrounded by her.
Over time, she couldn't take the halo off her head, couldn't remove it.
For she neither dared to remove it, nor was she willing to do so.
As a result, she is more aggressive than Zhou Kai in hiding this unsavory affair.
It must be said that Zhou Kai knows how to play with people's hearts, but the good thing about Zhou Kai is that he is good at controlling others, but not so good at controlling himself.
This is Chi Xiaochi's chance.
The TV time was over and Isong turned it off right on time and pushed Chi Xiaochi back into the bedroom and carried her to bed.
...... After yesterday s battle, this time he always knows to be lighter.
Chi Xiaochi laid down on the bed and said to Isong, "I want some pudding."
Isong replied, "Mr. Shen, it's not dessert time."
Chi Xiaochi said, "I want it now."
Isong was unassuming, "Then I'll connect you to Mr. Zhou and ask if I should give it to you."
Chi Xiaochi seemed hesitant, "...... That won't be necessary."
Punching Isong yesterday was Chi Xiaochi's way of showing him what he's made of.
Shunning Isong today was a sign of weakness, so that Isong would think that he was still the same weak Mr. Shen and wasn't going to break and go crazy to the end.
Until now, the only asset Chi Xiaochi has in his hands is the value of the "trust" Shen Zhangqing has accumulated with Zhou Kai over the past three years.
And it's not time to cash in yet.
After Isong left, Chi Xiaochi said, "It's not even a pudding, it's something."
061 consoled him, "Don't be so familiar with him. He is just a servant and can only follow Zhou Kai's orders."
Chi Xiaochi said, "They're all shitheads, so let's not divide them into big and small."
061 thought, Chi Xiaochi this mouth ah.
Chi Xiaochi was lying on his bed, still not wanting to give up his dessert: "I remembered there was a food category in the warehouse. I want to cash in a cone."
061: "Redeem with what? ...... Zhou Kai's favor value?"
Chi Xiaochi asked rhetorically, "Or can we use something else?"
"But there are only 45 points left ......"
"His favorability is just a pile of waste, it doesn't matter if he has it or not." Chi Xiaochi said, "A psychopath like Zhou Kai's favorability for Shen Zhangqing is probably tied to adrenaline, the more he beats him up the more he loves him, the more miserable he is the more he loves him. At this stage, I only need his trust in Shen Zhangqing, this disgusting favorability is not as real as a cone."
061 smiled helplessly, "What flavor does ...... want?"
The camera in the bedroom doesn't need much consideration; it's on all the time, but 061 has completely covered everything that shouldn't be there with a video of Shen Zhangqing sleeping.
Even if Zhou Kai had turned on the remote and was watching Shen Zhangqing's every move in real time, he wouldn't be able to find anything out of the ordinary.
A few minutes later, Chi Xiaochi squeezes a chocolate-flavored cone and licks and bites it.
Chi Xiaochi hums, "There is no food, there is no clothing, there is that which the enemy sends forward."
061: "......"
He continued to sing, "No guns, no cannons, the enemy built them for us."
It was probably because of Cheng Yuan's ability as a cover in the last world that 061 finally discovered Chi Xiaochi's ability blind spot only today.
...... He sang 26 words and only two were in tune.
To prevent Chi Xiaochi from singing any more, 061 coughed, "What are your thoughts on the current situation?"
Chi Xiaochi bites into her ice cream and says, "Don't worry about thinking about it for now, there's already business to attend to."
At Chi Xiaochi's behest, 061 registered a new e-mail address and had no trouble getting Sam's e-mail address.
He sent an email, "I can give you what you want, what can you give me."
About ten minutes go by and Sam replies, "And you are?"
In those ten minutes, he should have checked the IP address of the sender, but was doomed to find nothing.
Chi Xiaochi said, "His health, you are concerned and I am equally concerned."
It's kind of an indication of identity.
And Sam was quick to realize, but not afraid to take a stand, "Yes, of course I care."
Chi Xiaochi said, "Since I care so much, I will give you a chance. I hope you take it."
Sam replied back, "You gave me what I wanted, what do you want?"
Chi Xiaochi ignored Sam's reply and went offline to focus on his cone of egg rolls.
061 asked, "You're joining forces with Sam?"
"Sort of." Chi Xiaochi said, "After all, he needs something only I can give."
061 asked, "How can you be sure you're not working against a tiger?"
Chi Xiaochi said, "That's a lot of muzzles and cages to get ready."
Since Chi Xiaochi had a number in mind, 061 didn t ask any more questions.
Out of his calculating eye, Chi Xiaochi is back to his childish self.
Watching Chi Xiaochi tuck into his omelet, his eyes focused, 061 lost his smile, "Is it that good?"
"Nope, just a sudden craving." Chi Xiaochi licked her lips, "...... My favorite egg rolls since I was a kid were the ones in the cone."
As Chi Xiaochi said, there are always things that people like and care about in life.
Although Zhou Kai doesn't live like a human being, he does have some hobbies. There are abnormal ones, such as perversion, and normal ones, such as stamp collecting.
Two days before Zhou Kai's return, Chi Xiaochi had been monitoring every move of Zhou Kai, Zhou Kai's mistress, and Sam, and in his spare time, he asked 061 to bring Zhou Kai's stamp albums, which Zhou Kai had kept in a safe deposit box, to admire them.
He asked 061, "Are these real?"
061 said, "Authentic."
"Is it expensive?"
"Out of Print."
Chi Xiaochi pointed to one of them, "This one looks a bit old, how much is it worth?"
061 said a number.
Chi Xiaochi : "...... What? How much?"
061 repeated.
Chi Xiaochi pointed to the one below it again, "And this one?"
After the 061 quote, Chi Xiaochi was quite skeptical: "Mr. Six, don't you donkey me."
061 said, "I'm talking about what they sold for at auction. The appreciation I didn't take into account."
Chi Xiaochi: "......"
No wonder Zhou Kai treasures this stamp collection so much.
From the beginning to the end, Chi Xiaochi's only feeling was that he was holding twenty or so villa real estate certificates.
But the sentimental value of the worn-out album itself is perhaps greater for Zhou Kai than the value of the stamps.
When he was in a good mood, Zhou Kai also showed this album to Shen Zhangqing, saying that this album was left to him by his father, and that the stamps on the first few pages were from his father's collection, which were not worth much, but he kept them together with other stamps that were worth a lot of money.
To this, 061's sentiment is that people are really complex creatures.
And Chi Xiaochi's thought is, "Oh, you still know you have a father, how would your father feel if he saw you beating Shen Zhangqing like a sandbag?
Chi Xiaochi, lying in bed, knows the world without leaving his home, and diligently follows the developments of each and every party.
It was not until Zhou Kai pushed open the door to Shen Zhangqing's room that he turned off the monitor that 061 had given him, put down the book in his hand that he had been using as a decoration, and looked up at him.
Zhou Kai sat down on the edge of the bed, "Feeling better?"
In the days after he beat up Shen Zhangqing, he was always extraordinarily gentle, as if he had not been the one who had gone mad.
And, because he enjoys absolute control over Shen Zhangqing, he can easily dispense with the usual domestic-violence husband-on-his-knees-begging-wife-for-forgiveness routine.
Shen Zhangqing on the bed pressed his palms on the book, his expression calm, but his fingertips were trembling lightly and imperceptibly, "Much better."
Zhou Kai noticed his subtle body movements and smiled.
Then Chi Xiaochi watched the 40 points of favorability on the panel go up by 7 points.
Chi Xiaochi: "......"
061: "......"
That's pretty sick, 061 thought.
Chi Xiaochi reacted with glee and said, "Holy shit, we can cash in our cards from Zhou Kai."
061 doesn't know what to say, but can only correct Chi Xiaochi out of a systematic sense of social responsibility : "...... Don't swear."
Chi Xiaochi thought for a moment, "Holy shit, we have cards to cash."
061: "......" This class is the skinniest class he's ever had.
Zhou Kai took his hand and ruffled Chi Xiaochi's hair, and Chi Xiaochi complied, but his lips were biting white.
Zhou Kai said pleasantly, "...... you afraid of me?"
Chi Xiaochi shook his head and buried it low.
He looked around and realized the clock was missing from the nightstand and casually asked, "Where's the watch?"
Chi Xiaochi said softly, "I fell to the floor in the middle of the night when I rolled over and broke it."
Chi Xiaochi knew that Song would not dare to tell the truth about the beating, while Zhou Kai thought that the "Shen Zhangqing" in front of him was still the same Shen Zhangqing who never dared to cheat himself, and casually gave a hmmm, not caring much about this trivial loss.
He raised his hand to touch Chi Xiaochi's forehead, which was thickly bound by the securing straps, "Don't be afraid. I'm not going to hit you now."
Chi Xiaochi: "Thank you." Thank you.
Zhou Kai said, "It's pretty boring to stay at home alone to recover, isn't it?"
Chi Xiaochi frowned slightly for a long moment before replying, "It's okay."
Zhou Kai was greatly amused by the way the man in front of him tried to weigh his words for fear of angering himself.
Accordingly, his favorability value towards Shen Zhangqing has risen.
Zhou Kai said, "Get well. There's a mid-year party in 20 days, and I want you to be there." It's the perfect opportunity to show that the chairman is in love with his partner, so of course Zhou Kai won't let it go.
Shen Zhangqing was clearly stunned and touched the wound on his chest, seemingly wanting to argue something, but ultimately gave up.
"...... good."
Shen Zhangqing had to go through such a choice before, and in the end he compromised.
Twenty days later, he endured the pain of his still-hidden wounds and went to play the role of Zhou Kai's good companion.
And Chi Xiaochi compromised, aiming to get something going in 20 days.
As soon as Zhou Kai left the room, his favorability rating, which had risen to the dreaded "80", began to fall.
Chi Xiaochi didn't hesitate at all and quickly reported the name of the card he wanted to exchange, and 061 didn't dare to slow down and immediately put the card exchange into effect.
In the end, he redeemed five cards.
Two Amnesia Cards, which function to erase specific memories, but can only erase memory fragments up to ten minutes old.
An item displacement card that functions to move an item to a specific location, provided that the item being moved cannot weigh more than 10 kilograms and the range of movement cannot exceed 500 meters.
A hypnosis card, which is new in the warehouse mall just recently, super short-acting and lasts for half an hour.
There was also a Strength Enhancement Card that lasted for one minute, within one minute of using the card, the human body's strength would rapidly soar, but it was accompanied by a serious side effect, after one minute, the user would be exhausted and have no strength in their limbs.
The simple explanation is that "one minute of power, two hours of paralysis".
After some exchanges, there were finally 39 points of goodwill left.
Chi Xiaochi took an inventory of the warehouse and expressed his satisfaction: "Very good. What is taken from the people is used for the people."
With Sam, Zhou Kai is not too busy, leaving all the little things to Sam, and only taking care of the major decisions of the company.
And for the sake of that party, coupled with Shen Zhangqing's injuries, he couldn't do anything to Shen Zhangqing in those twenty days.
Bored, he remembered that he still had a place of comfort.
It had to be said that he still felt something for women, and despite not being able to have a physical reaction, mentally it was at least much more pleasurable than facing a man.
He never got violent with his pretty young second wife, either because he was afraid of leaving scars on her or because he still really liked her that much.
It's just that like it or not, he can never marry a woman.
And the young lover was quite cooperative and "content".
Taking his money, doing charity, living in a villa, and all is well except for having to settle on props when it comes to paying the rations.
She was naturally content.
So, the two of them hit it off right away and were quite compatible in bed and in conversation.
Listening to 061's voice recorded in real time from there, Chi Xiaochi laments, "Old and strong."
061: "...... Aren't we being a little kinky this way."
Chi Xiaochi said, "Don't rub it in our own faces. It's pretty sick."
061: "...... Then you still listen."
Chi Xiaochi: "I'm gathering information."
If it was someone else who said this while eavesdropping on someone else's private room, 061 would definitely think that this person was a hypocrite with a moral appearance to the extreme.
But Chi Xiaochi says it with an inexplicable sense of credibility.
Because Chi Xiaochi was never a gentleman or anything like that from the beginning.
After eavesdropping for two nights and recording so many AVIs, 061 felt that his ears and mind had been seriously defiled.
061 spat, "...... I'm going to get a pinprick."
Chi Xiaochi has seen the world and says, "Young people, they just don't have a lot of tolerance."
061: "......"
Young Teacher 061 didn't say anything else, networking down a Heart Sutra and playing it on a loop to give his mind a vacation.
After a nice double day at her lover's, Zhou Kai went back to the office in good spirits.
Monday morning was a regular meeting, and when it was over, he went back to his office to work on the paperwork.
There's not much to do today, and Zhou Kai, after taking care of it briefly, plans to go golfing this afternoon.
He called the golf course he frequented to make a reservation himself and informed his secretary about it again.
But around 10 o'clock, a male assistant from a subordinate department called Zhou Kai's secretary to inform her of a temporary change to the fall conference scheduled for the following Tuesday.
The Secretary relayed the matter to Zhou Kai.
This is not a small matter and needs to be discussed in a meeting. Zhou Kai quickly made a decision to cancel the golf program and hold an emergency temporary meeting at 3:00 p.m. in the central conference room on the 15th floor, where the company's mid-level leaders and above must attend.
Because of the number of departments involved in the event, Zhou Kai specifically requested that department heads who were unable to attend participate in real time by phone or video.
Such changes are commonplace, and when the secretary was notified, he proceeded to notify them one by one.
Chi Xiaochi, who was constantly monitoring Zhou Kai's every move, took it all in and said, "Mr. Six, do it."
After a few days of finally having something serious to do, 061 decided to follow Chi Xiaochi's request.
At 3:00 p.m. that day, the company's mid-level leaders and above, including Sam and a group of people waiting for the meeting with the video on, looked at the empty chairman's seat, wide-eyed.
The secretary was going crazy. She called Zhou Kai, but no one answered.
He contacted Shen Zhangqing, but Mr. Shen said, Mr. Zhou is not in the company?
The secretary would like to contact the secret lover, however, he has only heard the name but never seen the person, and he has no idea where to start.
When it was half past three, seeing that the crowd was clearly burning up, Sam stood up and said, "Don't be anxious, everyone. Frank and I will stay behind to contact Mr. Zhou, while the others return to their departments to do their work. I'll contact everyone if there's another situation."
Sam stays and the crowd disperses.
The secretary was so anxious that he almost called the police. He suspected that Zhou Kai had been kidnapped, otherwise how could he not come to the meeting.
Sam asked, "Will Mr. Chow forget?"
The secretary spoke without thinking, "Mr. Zhou has always been rigorous in his work ......"
As soon as the words left her mouth, the secretary thought of the oversleeping incident not long ago, and her heart thumped, immediately self-denying that thought again.
It wasn't until exactly 4:30 that Zhou Kai answered the secretary's call.
The secretary broke out into a fine sweat in a hurry, "Mr. Zhou, where have you been?"
Zhou Kai frowns, "I'm at the golf course. Didn't I tell you about this in the morning?"
The secretary's jaw dropped, "Did you ...... you forget you have a meeting this afternoon?"
Zhou Kai's open-mouthed retort: "What meeting?"
