Love Isn't Keeping You Busy

Shen Jingmo found it rather miraculous too, but his expression remained unchanged.

Shen Jingmo cleared his throat and coughed. "Assistant Zhu, you're here. Why aren't you coming in?"

Zhu Yu had been pacing outside the office door. Hearing a voice from inside, he quickly opened the door and walked in.

"Boss, what can I do for you?" Zhu Yu put on a professional smile, held his head high, and strode into the office.

"These are the approved documents. Take them downstairs." Shen Jingmo pointed at the three files he had finished reviewing.

Zhu Yu looked at the measly three documents, then at the mountain of unread files beside them. His sandbag-sized fists slowly clenched.

[Don't think I won't beat you up just because you're the boss... I really wouldn't dare, but could you finish all the documents before calling me? A working stiff's time to slack off is incredibly precious, are you ok?]

Hearing that voice, Shen Jingmo quietly watched Zhu Yu smiling as he hugged the three files to his chest. He had never known his assistant had two faces.

"Hehe, Boss, do you have any other instructions?" Zhu Yu's back felt a little chilly under that stare.

"I heard the company hired several new employees. Why wasn't the list brought to me?"

"HR only just brought them to me as well. I'll organize the list and deliver it to you right away." Zhu Yu continued smiling, though it looked somewhat strained.

[You have no idea what kind of freaks HR hired. Three people in total, two women and one man. One female lead does acrobatics at work every day, one female supporting character came here for your brother's face, and one male supporting character is an enemy spy. Is this even HR work?]

[Anyway, none of them came here to work for you.]

This time, Shen Jingmo frowned. Ever since taking over the company, he had cleaned house inside and out. HR was an important department too. Surely they would not make such a basic mistake?

Shen Jingmo trusted his team and doubted Zhu Yu's words.

Just as neither of them spoke, a series of startled cries suddenly came from outside the office.

"Senior Wang Hu, this is your file."

"Senior Lin Zhang, this is yours."

Zhu Yu saw Su Duoduo, still standing at the doorway, toss the files in her hands in every direction.

Strangely, every file landed precisely in front of its intended recipient.

"Wow! Thanks!"

"Thanks, Duoduo. Your aim is amazing." Lin Zhang gave her a thumbs-up.

Su Duoduo hugged a stack of freshly copied documents to her chest and smiled as she waved to them. "It's nothing. I'm off first."

Su Duoduo turned with a smile, only to crash into someone's chest the next second. The documents in her hands flew into the air and scattered down.

Shen Jingyan had the day off and nothing to do. He had come to the company to speak with his older brother, but the moment he arrived upstairs, he ran into a woman.

Seeing that she was about to fall in front of him, Shen Jingyan promptly wrapped an arm around her waist.

Inside the office,

Shen Jingmo's fists hardened. It felt as though someone had viciously slapped him across the face.

The files in Zhu Yu's hands dropped onto the desk.

[So this is the legendary scene where the male and female leads meet? Incredible. This is a workplace, not a dance floor for you two.]

[I'm numb. Do you know how long I spent sorting those files in order? You tossed them so lightly, and now I have to do it all over again! It's not your work, so of course you don't care. The point is, I didn't even have a finished backup on my computer yet!]

[Ah!!! Just destroy everything!!! Don't underestimate a working stiff's meltdown. When I go crazy, I'll bite anyone I see, okay? Especially you two lunatics who increased my workload for no reason.]

Shen Jingmo's furrowed brow suddenly relaxed a little after hearing Zhu Yu's thoughts.

Zhu Yu had no idea what expression his boss wore right now, because he was trembling all over with rage.

What did working people hate most? Going to work. Now they had to add one more thing to the list: people who made them work overtime for no reason.

Shen Jingmo rose from his seat and walked toward the door.

"Jingyan, what are you doing?" Shen Jingmo looked calmly at his younger brother.

"Brother." Shen Jingyan released his hold.

Seeing so many people around them, Su Duoduo blushed bright red and awkwardly stepped back.

"Alright, there's nothing to see here. Hurry back to work." Zhu Yu ground out the words through clenched teeth. Nothing to see? This was a huge problem!!

If you don't leave soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress my primal power anymore.

Su Duoduo quickly nodded and ran back to the assistants' office.

Shen Jingyan rubbed his fingers together. "That woman is pretty interesting. Brother, is she newly hired?"

Shen Jingmo had no choice but to believe that Zhu Yu's inner thoughts had all been true. His younger brother really looked utterly worthless right now.

A woman who could not even do her own job properly was interesting?

Zhu Yu heard Shen Jingyan's words too, and the fire in his stomach surged higher and higher.

[Hah... I don't even have enough breath left to be angry. Big brother, is your idea of interesting really this shallow?]

[If you had even half your brother's rationality, I wouldn't call you a lunatic. Where is your rationality? Where is it? Did you throw it away?]

[Rationality, civility, people should learn tolerance—but heavens, I really can't tolerate this anymore. Screw you＊＊＊＊＊, you bastard who increased my workload.]

Tears welled in Zhu Yu's eyes as he watched the cleaning lady sweep away the papers. He had typed them out with painstaking effort, then sorted them one by one. With just one turn, they had become a pile of waste paper. Sob, sob, sob...

The moment Shen Jingyan looked up, he met Zhu Yu's vicious glare and hurriedly edged closer to his older brother. "Assistant Zhu, did I offend you somehow?"

"No, of course not." Zhu Yu took a deep breath and spoke against his heart.

Shen Jingmo watched Zhu Yu maintain his usual expression and felt that if he had not heard his inner thoughts, he might truly have believed him.
