Assistant Xu Is Getting Ready to Quit

My name is Xu Yi'an, and I'm a little assistant. To outsiders, my boss is handsome and dreamy. A photo of him stepping out of a car at the airport with his long legs went viral online for ages. The eight-pack abs revealed in his promotional stills were sexy and alluring, and his sharply sculpted face looked like it belonged in a video game. Not to mention his prestigious background and noble family. His fans often scream that he's "come down from heaven to save the entertainment industry." But as for the job... do it once, and you'll know to avoid it like the plague. My boss is handsome, sure, but he's bad-tempered and demanding. His coffee has to have exactly seven ice cubes, and he even has specific requirements for the beans. Every item of clothing is disposable to him, even custom designer pieces. When he's in a good mood, he's manageable. When he isn't, he takes it out on us for no reason. I want to quit. I really do. If he didn't pay me 20,000 a month, give us two company-paid trips within China or abroad every year, and offer a full month of extra-long paid leave, I really would quit. Still... I don't think I can keep doing this much longer. Slacking off at work is perfectly normal, especially when the boss is filming and I have absolutely nothing to do. So I started playing games on my phone. I met a really skilled kid in the game who carried me up the ranks. After just a few days of happy gaming, my boss suddenly sent out a notice forbidding online relationships, along with a bunch of public account articles about people getting scammed in online romances. I wasn't dating anyone online, but why should work have anything to do with someone's private life? What a load of crap. When filming wrapped, every actor prepared a gift for the crew. I had my eye on a plushie from the actor playing the second male lead, so I could take it home as a new toy for my dog. I hadn't even had it in my pocket for long when I got stopped. My boss, wearing his usual deathly expression, said employees who'd been at the company for less than eight months weren't allowed to take one. I was speechless. I'm the newest person in the whole studio, having started just six months ago. Was he picking on me specifically? The worst thing happened yesterday. I reunited with my buddies at the barbecue stand outside my home. After a few drinks, we threw our arms around each other and dreamed of becoming millionaires. My boss appeared out of nowhere and demanded to know what I was doing. I checked the date and told him it was my day off. Then he dragged me into his car, took me to his house, and dumped a stack of documents on me to work overtime. I'd already looked through them. They weren't urgent at all. He was deliberately making things difficult for me! Enough is enough! My salary may be good, but I can't give up my dignity! I'm done with the 20,000-a-month job... On my way home, my mom told me that our old family home had just been demolished, and we'd been given two apartments. But that's not the point :D Each one is 120 square meters... But there was also five million in compensation! I decided to write my resignation letter as soon as I got home. Tomorrow, I'll slam it right down on my boss's desk!

Hope you enjoy the story and have a happy day every day~ -- My next novel, "His Majesty the Cat Was Kidnapped by a Human and Taken Home," is open for follows. Please add it to your favorites! -- Blurb: Talin is a cat beastman. When he woke up from a nap, he found the world outside completely transformed! Why were there metal boxes that moved as fast as shadows everywhere, and huge square buildings that reached so high he couldn't see the tops? Since when had the personal territory his clan just assigned him been full of so many fragile two-legged creatures who couldn't transform? Wait... did his territory even look like this? He strutted along with his chest puffed out and head held high, nimbly jumping down from a tree. He planned to grab a two-legged creature and interrogate it. - Shen Siye wrapped his coat around himself as he left work, thinking that winter had come unusually early this year. Just after turning into his apartment complex, he saw a fluffy golden kitten in front of him, meowing nonstop. The kitten had a round face, as if it hadn't grown into its features yet, and a tuft of fur on its ears. It was incredibly cute, and looked about six months old. He felt sorry for it. Winter had come early this year, and a kitten this small would have a hard time making it through. Besides, it kept meowing at him, clearly looking hungry. He should take it home. Though the kitten wasn't very cooperative, Shen Siye still picked it up and held it in his arms. As he hurried home, he comforted it: "It's all right, it's all right, kitty. You must be hungry. Come home with me and I'll give you something delicious." "Meow! Meow, meow!" "Mm-hm, you won't be cold at my place. I'll cook you some meat." Shen Siye understood that the kitten was scared and gently reassured it. "Who wants your meat? Put me down, right now! You're kidnapping me!!! #@￥%￥!!" Talin was furious. Couldn't this two-legged creature understand cat-speak?!!!! - The human's home was cold and dreary. Talin didn't like it one bit. The human brought him a fluffy blanket? He'd have to look into that. Talin hid beneath the sofa, on high alert. Since he couldn't transform, he'd have to escape when the human wasn't paying attention. But this human was so cunning! The door was always locked, and workers had even sealed the windows! A bath? Bite! Attacked with a weird, pointy weapon? Bite! Trying to tempt him with something fragrant? He wasn't falling for it! How dare he touch His Majesty's head? Bite... Talin had just opened his mouth when an unbelievably pleasant feeling on his head numbed him! Damn it! The human even took the opportunity to rub his belly. Humans really were so cunning! - The cat Shen Siye had rescued wasn't very docile. The vet said the kitten had probably been a stray for a long time and was a little skittish. He was patient, waiting for the kitten to slowly put away its claws, going from being on guard all the time to rolling around messily on his sofa. Being able to kiss the top of the kitten's head was bliss. But... when he leaned in, the furry little ball turned into a naked young man. That was... a bit too much, too soon. Shen Siye was still in shock when he saw the cat-ball, now in human form, approach him in confusion, touch his face, and ask in clumsy human speech, "Human, why's your face all red?" !!!!! It could talk, too! With his mind completely blank, Shen Siye picked up his phone, unsure whether to call the police first or make an appointment with a psychiatrist. ...Maybe he should cancel the neutering appointment he'd made for the fluffball first. - Tsundere cat bottom, fierce (not really) x gentle, refined human top, excessively doting on the fluffball (for real) A warm, everyday story. Theme: Move forward bravely through life, and live happily and freely.
