1. When Shen Kuo first met Secretary Xie, he thought the man seemed honest, obedient, and quiet. He looked like someone he could trust.
But the very next second, he heard the voice in the man's head.
[Good grief, a CEO this handsome, but with a hopeless romantic's brain.]
Shen Kuo: Huh? A hopeless romantic? Me?
2. After getting injured, Xie Buwei discovered that he was merely a supporting character in a novel.
His boss Shen Kuo's melodramatic story with his crush wasn't any better than his own.
Xie Buwei: [What a tragic CEO. That handsome face is wasted on him.]
Shen Kuo: ...
Does Secretary Xie have some kind of problem with him?
3. When the company's top star's contract expired, Shen Kuo offered a hundred times the usual sincerity and planned to renew it in person.
On the day of the signing, Shen Kuo heard Secretary Xie's colorful inner voice again.
[Wow, a crush really has that much power! One sentence, and the CEO's signing a disgraced artist!] [That top-tier star's cheating as wildly as an octopus, his mind's as slippery as an eel, and when it comes to avoiding responsibility, he's as slippery as a loach... He's just an awful person! Completely morally bankrupt and devoid of humanity!]
Shen Kuo's hand paused over the contract. "The weather's bad today. Let's talk another time."
He immediately turned around and ordered a fresh risk assessment of the top star.
Top star: ???
Xie Buwei: [Wow, his feet are off the ground. Has his IQ climbed to new heights?]
Shen Kuo: ...
Shen Kuo: Wait, what's a crush?
4. As time passed, Shen Kuo realized that the (adorably) outspoken thoughts beneath Secretary Xie's proper exterior helped him avoid risks and make a fortune every time.
Shen Kuo began looking at him differently.
After making a killing on a movie investment, Shen Kuo asked, "Is there anything you'd like as a reward, Secretary Xie?"
Xie Buwei replied expressionlessly, "A raise."
Shen Kuo waved a hand grandly and gave him a raise, a bonus, and a red envelope.
On the outside, Xie Buwei stayed calm, but inside he was ecstatic!!
[President Shen is so handsome and kind! No one in the world is more handsome than President Shen! I'll follow him in my next life, too! I love President Shen! I'll raise his banner high and see who dares oppose him!]
Shen Kuo's ears turned red as he listened. "Besides that, is there nothing else you want? Maybe... to fall in love?"
Xie Buwei, who was counting his money: Huh???
#An honest gossip-lover hears his boss's thoughts and is thrilled to pieces.#
#An honest man's outward embarrassment hides an inner scream for more.#
