After learning that her colleague was so lovesick over their playboy boss, Song Zhuoran, that she could barely eat or sleep, Ye Jingning kindly tried to comfort her: "A man who doesn't know how to behave himself is like a rotten cabbage. Why get so worked up over a rotten cabbage?"
Who knew the office walls had ears? The very next day, just after Ye Jingning returned to her desk from having a wisdom tooth pulled, her boss summoned her for a serious talk.
Song Zhuoran: "There's a rumor going around the company that I'm a rotten cabbage. Have you heard it, Secretary Ye?"
Ye Jingning swallowed the blood that had begun to pool in her mouth, then shook her head without changing her expression.
Song Zhuoran: "You've been here less than two minutes, and you've already swallowed eleven times. What could a rotten cabbage like me have done to make you drool so much, Secretary Ye? Or are you so hungry right now that you'll eat anything?"
Ye Jingning: ...
Song Zhuoran: "To help this rotten cabbage of mine see the error of his ways as soon as possible, I'll have to trouble you to keep me in line from dawn till dusk. Starting today, your nine-to-six schedule will be changed to match mine exactly."
Ye Jingning: ...
Before Song Zhuoran had even finished speaking, WeChat notification sounds started coming from Ye Jingning's phone one after another. In her panic, she accidentally tapped a voice message.
Snarky Lunch Group: Ye Jingning, your very own crispy duck has arrived! You can still rise to the challenge and take on crispy duck at a time like this. All that crispy-duck fiction you read while slacking off has finally paid off. I salute you, you absolute legend!
Ye Jingning roared in her mind: How many times do I have to correct you? Crispy duck and crispy-duck fiction have absolutely nothing to do with each other!!
She had barely finished her internal rant when she looked up and saw Song Zhuoran glaring at her darkly. Ye Jingning didn't know whether she was a legend or not, but she did know that tomorrow she'd probably be fired for stepping into the office with her right foot first...
