Chapter 58

They caught a cold and slept at home for several days.

Ruan Jiu Jiu always suspected that living with Cheng Jun and cross-infection between them caused the cold to not get any better.

The company did not notify Ruan Jiu Jiu to leave, only that she was going to take a long vacation and even Lao Meng didn’t know. In a few days, Ruan Jiu Jiu will return to the company and will continue to work. Regarding this result, Ruan Jiu Jiu can neither laugh nor cry.

There was always a sense of being pulled back to continue work after failing to run away from home.

As an active bootlicker, Tu Nan took the initiative to come to visit them when he heard the news that the boss and his wife had a cold. He sent a message to Ruan Jiu Jiu, but Ruan Jiu Jiu had not replied yet. As for why Tu Nan didn’t send a message to the boss, it was because he had been blocked by the boss…

Tu Nan put on hair wax flirtatiously, wobbled to the door in a seeming snake walk, and rang the doorbell.

Ruan Jiu Jiu heard the doorbell and said: “It should be my delivery; you pick it up.”
“Okay.”

Cheng Jun opened a bottle of Yakult and slowly opened the door. He was silent for a second and without waiting for Ruan Jiu Jiu’s response, he slammed the door shut.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “? Who?”

Cheng Jun: “Got the wrong house.”

An untimely howling of Tu Nan sounded outside the door: “Sister-in-law, I came to see you!”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

Cheng Jun “…”

“It’s better not to open the door.”

“Yes.”

The two had intended to play dead, but Tu Nan was unexpectedly ruthless. Sitting at the door, he began to sing the ‘little cabbage’ ^[1]‘Little Cabbage’ – a Chinese folk song. The aunt who passed upstairs had tears in her eyes and insisted on taking him to the elderly troupe to perform.

The door outside was noisy. Seeing that the roof was about to be overturned, Ruan Jiu Jiu quickly called Cheng Jun out to pull people. Cheng Jun went out with a weary face and dragged Tu Nan back in a sharp manner.

Tu Nan was holding a bouquet of flowers and a box of supplements in his hands and then he hurriedly put them on the table.

“Sister-in-law! Boss! I came to see you guys!”

“…” Ruan Jiu Jiu suddenly regretted it. She should have been ruthless and directly ask the security guard to drag Tu Nan away.

Ruan Jiu Jiu expressionlessly pointed to the bouquet of flowers: “What is this?”

Tu Nan looked certain: “Good-looking white lilies?”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “This is called white chrysanthemums ^[2]‘white chrysanthemums’ – in Chinese culture, white and yellow chrysanthemums are used for funerals, and therefore represent death. While White Chrysanthemums Tea was also used as a tribute to … Continue reading”

Tu Nan started to have cold sweat.

“Just the right thing to lower the heat, you can use that to make tea.”

“And,” Ruan Jiu Jiu pointed to the box of supplements, “Why did you bring a box of melatonin?^[3]‘Melatonin’ – is most used for insomnia and improving sleep in different conditions. “

“Because…… did not receive any gifts for the holidays this year? ^[4]‘did not receive any gifts for the holidays this year’ – Melatonin has been sold in China for ten or twenty years since it was listed in 1997; its popular slogan “No gifts for this … Continue reading”

Ruan Jiu Jiu suddenly realized that Tu Nan was single for a reason. She let out a long sigh, put one hand on Tu Nan’s shoulder, and said with a deep expression: “Sister-in-law told you, if you want to get off, don’t learn from your boss Cheng. Do you see what he has become now?”

Cheng Jun, who was drinking Yakult, was silent for a second and then glanced at the two in a cold manner.

Tu Nan’s scalp tightened, and he gave a little awkward laugh: ” It’s good enough that I can have a one-ten thousandth of the boss! He is a heavenly immortal, how can a mortal like me reach him”

Ruan Jiu Jiu had enough: “I beg you to do not lick the dog ^[5]‘don’t lick the dog’ – bootlicker, okay?”

When Tu Nan came, it was mealtime. Ruan Jiu Jiu was about to cook, so she naturally left Tu Nan behind. Tu Nan agreed without hesitation, with only Cheng Jun’s death gaze accompanying him. Cheng Jun said slowly: “There are only two pairs of chopsticks.”

“It’s okay, I can eat with my hands!” Tu Nan wagged his tail cheerfully.

Cheng Jun pondered for a moment and suggested to Ruan Jiu Jiu: “Let’s eat hot pot.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “Pfft.”

Sometimes Cheng Jun was childish to the point that Ruan Jiu Jiu was simply defeated by him.

Tu Nan pretended to be wronged and wanted to gain Ruan Jiu Jiu’s sympathy. He was frightened by the faint eyes of his boss and instantly realized that his current act of committing death was likely to be retaliated by his boss. What’s more, he hadn’t been able to get pass through the boss’s friend request until now!

Ruan Jiu Jiu said: “Just in time for the chicken curry rice, Tu Nan, can you?”

“Of course, I can!”

Tu Nan tried to help in the kitchen but was instructed to go to the living room by Ruan Jiu Jiu. She just thought that he was messing things up and should just sit on the sofa. Staying still will be a big help to Ruan Jiu Jiu.

He sat depressed on the sofa, his eyes lit up, and he quickly opened the group chat, and ‘aite’ ^[6]‘Aite’ – a popular word on the Internet, is a transliteration of the character “@”, which is pronounced as ” Aite ” according to the pronunciation of the English … Continue reading Fu Zicheng and Jiao Fan.

Tu Nan: I’m about to eat my sister-in-law’s meal hahahahahaha! Envy or not! Jealous, not jealous!

Fu Zicheng: F@@@? Why didn’t you call me?

Jiao Fan: Tu Nan, don’t be too reckless, learn from your experience.

Tu Nan: Don’t worry, the boss will definitely not look at the phone at this point.

Tu Nan: If he sees it, I will withdraw it. He can’t find anything.

Group message prompt. Tu Nan has been removed from the “group chat” by Cheng Jun.

The remaining two shivered.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was unaware of what happened between them, she moved quickly, cooked the curry, covered it with rice, and served it on the table. Tu Nan walked behind Ruan Jiu Jiu with a weeping face, and said, “Sister-in-law, I was disliked by the boss.”
