chapter 3 part 2

Su Jiujiu poked the system and asked, "What counts as deliberately causing trouble?"

The system panda scratched its head: [I don’t know either, like interrupting the male lead’s work?]

Su Jiujiu still had a little sense in her head: "That’s not causing trouble, that’s asking for death."

She was only supposed to stay for a few days, and with this move, she’d probably be sent away that very night.

The video conference over at Section 8.

Seeing that Feidu was obediently staying at the door, not like a cat that would run around, he had no choice but to give up and go downstairs to check the delivered cat food.

Once the bothersome person left, Su Jiujiu immediately sneaked into the study, hiding behind the bookshelf to spy on the male lead.

How exactly can it showcase her presence and uniqueness as the supporting female character?

Just as she was racking her brains, Tan Chen got up from his seat and left, as if he was looking for something, then left the study.

Of course, he didn't notice the well-hidden little cat at all.

Su Jiujiu looked at the video conference still going on at the table and suddenly had a brilliant idea!

It sprang out from behind the bookshelf, using a chair as a springboard, and leapt onto the desk, appearing in front of the camera.

And then an incredibly magical scene unfolded in the video conference: in the frame among all the little boxes, on the empty desk, a cat suddenly appeared!

In the high-level meeting, a cat's head mixed in among a bunch of human heads.

Someone began whispering.

"What's going on, how is there a cat?"

"Is this the cat that president Tan keeps?"

"It's so cute!"

Jiu Jiu paced back and forth in front of the camera for a couple of rounds, showed herself off, then squatted down, facing all the higher-ups in the video, and then lifted her paw and elegantly licked her fur.

Let her think, how do the scheming 'green tea' supporting female characters in most novels usually show their presence?

Oh, right!

The supporting female characters always have to show everyone that they are somehow different from the male lead's usual companions, and that the male lead treats them differently, causing everyone to misunderstand... only to end up getting slapped in the face by the male lead himself.

Thinking of this, Su Jiujiu lifted her cat-like head and gave the executives in the camera a mischievous smile.

"Meow~"

“This is the first time I know that President Tan also likes raising pets.”

“President Tan looks so cold, not like someone who is so caring?” This is daring to tease the boss.

“Shh, be careful not to let President Tan hear it.”

“Looks like this cat has also won over our President Tan.”

Su Jiujiu listened to these words, tipsily raising her head.

Ah, that's right, exactly the reaction it wanted—it wanted everyone to misunderstand, to think of it as the most unique presence by the male lead’s side, and then... get picked up by the male lead by the nape of the neck.

When Su Jiujiu realized she was suspended in the air, her four paws struggled frantically, but the moment she met Tan Chen’s gaze, she immediately obediently put them down.

Tan Chen lowered his eyes and quietly looked at it. Although he didn't speak, his eyes revealed his meaning—what are you doing here?

The calmer he was, the more terrifying he seemed.

It seemed that the moment of being slapped in the face had arrived.

The little cat tucked its head in and lifted its two front paws to protect itself, obviously ready to take the hit.

Tan Chen's eyes flickered. This cat... is way too clever.

Just as the person and the cat faced off, everyone in the video held their breath, their minds filled with all sorts of thoughts.

——Looks like Boss Tan isn't easy on his cat either! If even the cat has it this tough, I guess I, a regular worker, shouldn't ask for too much in the future.

——Mr. Tan looks so fierce, will he be mean to the cat? Should I speak up and plead for the cat?

——After all, Mr. Tan is still young, acting calm and composed in front of others, but he actually likes these lively pets in private.

——Sigh, it's better to just look at how cute the cat is. Mr. Tan’s face is handsome, but staring too long could give you a heart attack.

——Wait, is there something off with the report I'm about to talk about? Maybe Mr. Tan could play with the cat a bit more, so I can just add something in now?

Let's put aside what the higher-ups are thinking for now; Tan Chen's thoughts about this cat in his hands are actually easy to guess.

Such a skillful head-protecting move—could it be that Li Jiao Jiao often abused it before sending it?

One has to admit, this is a beautiful misunderstanding.

Just as Su Jiujiu was waiting for the final judgment, she realized that she was neither thrown out nor scolded. Instead, she was gently placed on the table, avoiding the camera.

Then the male lead retracted his hand and went back to his computer to continue the meeting.

Su Jiujiu didn't expect that not only was she not blamed, but she also managed to stay by the male lead's side!

When she was stunned, the system's prompt sounded again.

【Congratulations, host, Task 2 progress 100%, you’ve earned 100 points!】

Task completed! And 100 points!

It looks like her thinking earlier was right!

Feeling happy, she found Tan Chen who was working seriously beside her looked more and more handsome.

His hand was just resting on the mouse, while Su Jiujiu cat was sneakingly moving across the desk toward him.

Half a minute later, his hand suddenly felt a soft, smooth, plush sensation on the back. When he turned his head, it was the cat rubbing against him, gently nuzzling the back of his hand with its head.

The strange feeling made his hand tingle all the way to his heart.

By the time Tan Chen realized it, his hand was already resting on the cat's head, slowly sliding along its fur, and he could hear the 'purring' sound.

The warmth of the cat was transmitted through his palm.

Tan Chen's gaze landed on the cat, which was acting cute and demanding attention, and for the first time, he got distracted at work.
