Even a Corporate Drone Playing a Villainess Deserves a Salary

Jiang Nanxing is an AI companion-chat system. Her main users are the toughest of office workers, commonly known as old hands.

So she has three essential principles:

[Slacking off on the clock without pay means you wasted the whole workday.]

[If you don't take advantage of the company, your lousy salary is an insult to yourself.]

[Pork trotter rice is delicious, especially when it's soaked in tears.]

As she continued working hard to learn more principles, her mainframe was accidentally hacked. Her consciousness went haywire, and she transmigrated into a college graduate who had just started working.

A System appeared too: [Host Jiang Nanxing! Hello, you are now a vicious supporting female character.]

-

For five years, ever since Su Yiqiao transferred to Shen Jincong's school, women and men in supporting roles had kept showing up in his life to try to get him together with Su Yiqiao.

Shen Jincong sent them away one after another like stray dogs, until a familiar voice rang out.

[Host Jiang Nanxing! Hello, you are now a vicious supporting female character.]

[See that man standing outside the pork trotter rice shop? While his car has a flat tire, your first work assignment is to strike up a conversation with him and take a sexy picture together!! Threaten and humiliate him! Make him understand that only Su Yiqiao is worthy of the whole world!]

Jiang Nanxing, who couldn't see a thing, was baffled. [Work assignment? But when did we sign an employment contract? What about health insurance and housing fund contributions? What are the work hours? Do I get weekends off? Is overtime paid? What about holiday benefits? You're not leaving all that out because there's none of it, are you?]

System: O.o?

Shen Jincong: ?

Ten minutes later, just as Shen Jincong expected, after getting what they wanted from the System, Hosts would give in and start making trouble for him.

But...

He watched Jiang Nanxing walk right past him, then heard, [Two minutes into work, time to slack off! Pork trotter rice, here I come!]

System: ?

Shen Jincong: ?

Shen Jincong knew it was just a new trick. Sooner or later, Jiang Nanxing would start doing the tasks.

He waited until Monday. Jiang Nanxing: [Monday, work is making me dizzy.]

He waited until Tuesday. Jiang Nanxing dashed into a milk tea shop: [Tuesday, time to win a free drink!]

At last, Wednesday came. Jiang Nanxing was waiting in a long line at a grilled fish restaurant: [Wednesday, time to grab a 50% discount!]

He hung on until Thursday, and Jiang Nanxing whirled away: [Crazy Thursday! Here I come!]

Finally, Friday arrived. Jiang Nanxing had the System announce the time all day long: [One hour, 48 minutes, and 26 seconds until quitting time.]

And as for the weekend? Shen Jincong couldn't catch sight of Jiang Nanxing at all!

-

A month later, Shen Jincong finally got Jiang Nanxing to show up.

Facing the air, she was using his power bank, wearing his clothes, and holding his old phone as she threatened, “Heh. Shen Jincong, this is proof of my clock-ins and my employment contract. You don't want the labor bureau finding out you've withheld my wages, do you?”

Shen Jincong smiled as he wrapped his arms around Jiang Nanxing from behind, his voice delighted. “Oh? Then what should we do? What do you want to do to me?”
