Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life
chapter-162

And the stealing was all her own idea. Nobody framed her or made her do it.

All she could say was she asked for it herself.

If one could steal freely because there was no surveillance, then why did we still need the law?

There were naturally consequences for breaking the law.

That being said, Gu Shishi was still a little stunned.

The boss had always been a cute tsundere in her mind.

She hadn’t expected his measures to be so… battling the evil with evil. That was truly the act of a villain!

But then again, he did all those… for her. That made it impossible for her to find that repulsive.

In fact, that was a little… sweet?

Gu Shishi blushed a little and quickly calmed down.

She asked immediately. “How did he get sick that time?”

That all she could think about right now.

He got sick the same day that she did? Was it because of her?

Gu Shishi felt her heart pounding.

A rich and handsome man, somewhat of an introvert and somewhat cute. He seemed evil on the outside but he had done a lot for her behind her back. And he had gotten sick with her?

Oh boy! What kind of a Mary Sue plotline was this?

“What kind of illness? Mentally or physically?”

The boss only had two years left to live. Could this be the reason for his illness?

Siyi suddenly took a step back.

“That I can’t share, Miss Gu. That’s the boss’s personal matter. It’s best if you ask him yourself.”

“…. You think your boss will tell me?” Gu Shishi could do nothing but smile bitterly.

Siyi shook his head.

“Alright, alright. I won’t put you on the spot. You go and take care of what you need to. I should head into work as well.”

Gu Shishi looked at the time. This would have to wait.

When the next opportunity arose, she’d need to find out more about it!

***

9 AM.

Gu Shishi had left and had already started work at the studio.

Siyi had already finished preparing for the morning meeting, notified everyone to attend, and was about to head into the office with Huo Sishen.

Huo Sishen, when he walked downstairs today, looked to be very good-spirited.

Even his normal black suit made him look particularly lively today. Even his usual cold aura had lessened.

Siyi looked over at him and was at loss for half a second.

Was this still the same boss that people referred to as the grim reaper?

He looked a little… warm?

When Huo Sishen reached the bottom of the stairs, he looked at Siyi with his eyes narrowed.

All of a sudden, his subordinate was very pleasing to his eyes today.

“Have you had breakfast?”

Siyi, pleasantly surprised, said, “Yes, I have. Two buns, an egg, and a serving of soy milk. Our employee benefits are amazing.”

He quickly took the opportunity to brown-nose.

Sure enough, Huo Sishen’s lips closed tightly. He seemed even happier. His lips twitched a little.

“Mmm. Just let the butler know if you need anything else. Budget is not a problem.”

And the benefits had just gotten even better!

Siyi, shocked, immediately looked very happy.

“Thank you, Boss!”

Sure enough, nine out of ten men who had midnight snacks from their loved one would be walking on heaven; the last one had lost his mind!

Huo Sishen, too, looked very satisfied.

Nobody tried the breakfast before him. She only made his share.

Just him…

When it came down to it, this woman still knew what to do.

Boss Huo, satisfied, his fondness for Gu Shishi grew a little right then and there.

Gu Shishi, who was instructing in her class, suddenly received the system notification. “???”

***

Nevertheless, when Huo Sishen got inside of his Cadillac ten minutes later, he had on a peculiar look.

Master Chen, the chauffeur, quickly put away the mooncake gift box when he saw the boss headed toward him and quickly thanked him. “Thank you for our employee benefit, Boss.”

Huo Sishen’s lips twitched.

His ears felt a bit hot and, looking outside of the window, he said, “Mmm.”

The employees received benefits on every holiday every year.

This was not the first time.

This was, however, the first time someone thanked him in person.

And it wasn’t just the chauffeur. On his way from the second floor out, he had run onto a lot of employees that looked familiar, but he didn’t know their names. All of them smiled awkwardly at him and gave him an appreciative look.
