Chapter 205
The older man said, “She was originally supposed to work for me, but I thought you needed staff more. You’ve already cursed out every ghost in the Company, so here’s a newcomer for you to yell at.”
Xiao Yanxi said, “You’re the one who needs cursing out most!”
“All right, she’s yours. I’m out of here.”
The older man made a dashing escape, even thoughtfully closing the door behind him.
That left Yun Youyou and Xiao Yanxi staring at each other in the office.
Xiao Yanxi studied Yun Youyou for a while.
She looked innocent and young. The Game had probably just dug her out of a coffin. She was still freshly dead.
“A new NPC?”
Yun Youyou nodded.
Some ghosts liked to bully newcomers just because they had died earlier, but Xiao Yanxi had no such preference.
That was because he never discriminated between new and old when he bullied ghosts.
“Fine. Sit over there for now.”
Xiao Yanxi pointed at the small desk in the corner.
Yun Youyou sat down.
Xiao Yanxi lowered his head and resumed scrolling on his phone.
It was only role-playing anyway. He wasn’t a real Company manager. Going through the motions was enough.
The entire morning passed without anything happening.
Yun Youyou felt that the older man had clearly been exaggerating.
This Xiao Yanxi didn’t seem all that obnoxious.
Could the older man himself have been the problem?
“Make me a cup of coffee.”
Xiao Yanxi spoke without lifting his head.
Yun Youyou asked, “Do you want milk and sugar?”
Xiao Yanxi said, “Guess.”
Yun Youyou: ……
Okay, he did seem a little obnoxious.
Seeing that Xiao Yanxi had no intention of saying anything more, Yun Youyou had no choice but to make his coffee.
The coffee machine in the break room was extremely advanced.
Yun Youyou spent ages trying to figure out how to operate it.
Fortunately, a kind female employee helped her.
As Yun Youyou ground the coffee beans into powder, she fished for information. “What kind of coffee does Manager Xiao like?”
The female employee’s expression instantly changed.
“You’re making coffee for Manager Xiao?”
Yun Youyou nodded.
Was that really so surprising?
The female employee patted Yun Youyou on the shoulder, her face suddenly filling with sympathy.
“Just make anything. No matter how it turns out, he’ll yell at you.”
Yun Youyou said, “Is it really that bad?”
The female employee said, “We call Manager Xiao the Great Demon King behind his back. You’ll understand once you’ve been here a little longer.”
Half doubtful, Yun Youyou carried the freshly brewed coffee back to the office.
“Manager Xiao, your coffee.”
Xiao Yanxi didn’t even thank her. He picked it up and took a sip.
“Too sweet. Make it again.”
That was still within Yun Youyou’s expectations. Good-temperedly, she asked, “Could you tell me how you like your coffee?”
Xiao Yanxi said, “No.”
Yun Youyou: Asshole!
After cursing him in her head, Yun Youyou went to make another cup.
“Too bitter. Make it again.”
Yun Youyou made another.
“Too hot!”
Another cup.
“Too cold.”
Yun Youyou: ……
Damn it! What a rotten bastard!
Expressionless, Yun Youyou carried the coffee back to the break room.
After watching Yun Youyou make more than a dozen trips back and forth, the female employee walked over sympathetically.
“See? I told you. Manager Xiao is one of a kind, and not in a good way. You couldn’t find another asshole like him in the entire Company.”
Manager Xiao was the fighter jet of assholes, the ultra-premium edition of idiots.
Yun Youyou calmly poured the coffee away.
“Aren’t you angry?”
The female colleague looked at her in surprise.
Yun Youyou found a bottle of vinegar in a drawer and began pouring it wildly into the cup. Then she added soy sauce and mustard.
A chilling smile hung on her lips. “I’m not angry. I’m not angry at all.”
The female colleague: ……
But you don’t look anything like someone who isn’t angry.
How terrifying…
It felt as if the air were full of gunpowder.
The female colleague had a faint feeling that Manager Xiao’s natural nemesis had arrived.
Carrying a cup of specially prepared coffee, Yun Youyou walked elegantly toward the office.
As she passed through the open-plan workspace, she spotted an inflatable sex doll.
“Why is something like this here?”
Had the culture inside Instances become this open-minded?
The female colleague said gloomily, “It’s a new Company product. Employees can use it for free, men or women. That one’s already been taken out of service, though.”
Yun Youyou said, “Perfect. Let me borrow it.”
The female colleague was shocked. “You’re going to use it?”
Yun Youyou said, “I need it urgently.”
The female colleague stared blankly for quite a while before saying, “Then… go ahead and take it.”
“What if I accidentally break it while using it?”
“That’s fine. It was already scrapped.”
“Thank you.”
Yun Youyou carried the coffee in one hand and hoisted the inflatable doll over her other shoulder as she entered the manager’s office.
Everyone was stunned.
The female colleague was so startled that she dropped the cup in her hand. Her voice abruptly shot up.
“She’s going into the office and using it right in front of the manager?!”
Had the world really progressed this far?
Yun Youyou set the coffee in front of Xiao Yanxi.
“Manager, here’s your coffee again.”
Xiao Yanxi looked up.
He was about to find another excuse to make her brew a fresh cup when something that had no business being there caught the corner of his eye.
“Why is that thing here?!”
“What did you bring it in for?!”
Xiao Yanxi’s eyes widened as he stared at the inflatable doll in Yun Youyou’s hand, baffled and astonished.
Yun Youyou smiled faintly, her eyes curving into soft little crescents.
“This thing has another wonderful use.”
Yun Youyou turned and left, then brought back another cup of coffee from the break room.
Under Xiao Yanxi’s confused gaze, she held the cup to the inflatable doll’s lips.
“Baby, have a sip?”
Xiao Yanxi frowned.
How could an inflatable doll drink coffee? Was this woman an idiot?
Naturally, the inflatable doll didn’t move.
Yun Youyou’s expression instantly changed. “What? You won’t drink it?!”
She delivered a ferocious kick.
The inflatable doll went flying and slammed heavily into the glass window behind Xiao Yanxi.
Xiao Yanxi: ……
Yun Youyou put on her sweet smile again.
She walked over, grabbed the inflatable doll by one leg, and dragged it back.
Yun Youyou picked up the coffee cup once more.
“Baby, don’t be so picky. Just take one sip, all right?”
The inflatable doll still didn’t react.
“I was nice to you, and now you think you can walk all over me?!”
Yun Youyou set down the coffee and launched into uppercuts and body blows.
The pitiful inflatable doll flew back and forth through the air.
Yun Youyou slapped it brutally across the face more than ten times.
“You don’t know what’s good for you!”
Finally, Yun Youyou pinned the inflatable doll beneath her and ended the fight with a rear naked choke.
The inflatable doll burst on the spot.
Xiao Yanxi: ……
This was bad. She was coming for him.
Yun Youyou wiped the sweat from her forehead, picked up the coffee beside her, and drained it in one gulp.
“Coffee really does hit the spot after a workout.”
Her gaze shifted to Xiao Yanxi as she feigned confusion. “Manager Xiao, why aren’t you drinking? Is the coffee not to your taste? Would you like me to make you another cup?”
Xiao Yanxi said, “No! No!”
