Chapter 264: Too Much Pressure
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The dolls that Xi Wan and Su Xun had caught at the supermarket yesterday were placed in the study and the game room by Su Xun.
There was one extra doll that he brought to the company. This extra doll happened to be caught by Xi Wan and was now placed on his desk.
Zhang Wen was a little dazed after delivering the coffee. He had seen the doll on his boss’s desk just now. He felt that either he or his boss was not awake today.
Zhang Wen grabbed Xu Yan, who was about to enter Su Xun’s office and said to him, “Xu Yan, listen to me. If you go in later, you might see some, some…
strange things.”
‘I???” Xu Yan didn’t know what was going on. Countless guesses flashed through his mind in an instant, and a look of horror appeared on his face. “Don’t tell me you’re saying…”
Zhang Wen nodded with a heavy expression and instructed him, “Remember, don’t let your expression be too shocked. You must manage your expression well!”
After hearing Zhang Wen’s words, Xu Yan stepped into the chairman’s office with a heavy heart.
He had already prepared for the worst.
Su Xun was in a video conference.
Xu Yan silently handed over the documents that he had sorted out and signaled to Su Xun that all the required information had been made into an electronic version and sent to his mailbox.
At this moment, Su Xun was already multitasking as he browsed through the information in his email, giving some suggestions to the staff in the video.
Xu Yan saw that Su Xun was so busy that he couldn’t split himself up. The instinct engraved in his genes defeated his professional ethics in a short period of time.
Xu Yan looked around the office.
The office was as strict, clean, and bright as ever. The only thing that was not harmonious was the doll on the chairman’s desk.
Wait a minute! Doll?
The thing on the boss’s table was a doll? How could a serious boss have such a thing?
Moreover, this doll did not look like it was made by a famous artist. Not only was the workmanship not exquisite, but it could even be described as perfunctory.
Xu Yan remembered that there should have been a valuable piece of art here. Where did that piece of art go?
No matter how you look at it, a doll doesn’t look good here, okay?
Su Xun’s words did not get a response from his assistant. He then looked up from the document and saw Xu Yan staring at the doll on his desk in a daze.
Xu Yan raised his head just in time to meet Su Xun’s calm gaze.
Xu Yan’s heart quivered, and his desire to live took over. He immediately blurted out without hesitation, “This doll is very cute!”
The moment he said that, he felt as if his bonus for the month had flown away. How could he speak nonsense during the boss’s video conference!
He thought that Su Xun would be angry, but Xu Yan only saw him nod and make a hand gesture to the computer to stop for a while. When he looked at Xu Yan again, he did not show any signs of anger. He said to him in a tone that could not be considered gentle, “Thank you, but you should go out.”
Xu Yan left the office as if he had been pardoned.
Xu Yan had just walked out of the office when he bumped into Zhang Wen, who had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Zhang Wen’s worried expression, he held back his words.
Zhang Wen pulled him aside and asked, “How is it? Is it scary? I didn’t lie to you, did 1?””
‘ Thinking of the crudely made doll on the desk, Xu Yan fell silent and swallowed back the words that he was about to say to Zhang Wen.
“I suspect…” Zhang Wen looked left and right to make sure that no one was staring at them before whispering to him, “Boss is under too much pressure, to the point where he has to rely on his stuffed toys to relieve his stress.”
When Zhang Wen saw Xu Yan’s gaze, he was shocked and stuttered, “You, why are you looking at me like this?”
“…” Xu Yan’s expression was filled with understanding and pity for Zhang Wen.
Xu Yan patted Zhang Wen’s shoulder. He didn’t say anything else but said earnestly, “Work hard. Don’t keep imagining things.”
‘I???” Zhang Wen did not react for a moment.
Shouldn’t he be the one comforting Xu Yan? How did he suddenly become comforted by Xu Yan?
