Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

Lin Shi ignored his subordinates' praise and stood between Shen Zhixiao and Su Ningshuang like a little brother.

At first, when he first arrived at the office, looking at the "male lead" Ye Cheng, the "loyal" subordinate, and himself, the "male supporting character," he felt like a combination destined to conquer the world.

Now it's become a small ice shard sandwiched between two polar glaciers. Conquering the world is out of the question; the key is figuring out how to get out from between them and bring back a chair.

After all, it was still unknown how long the two of them would stay, so she wanted to rest as much as she could.

Su Ningshuang noticed the somewhat empty office and Lin Shi standing there. She stood up again and pushed her chair next to Lin Shi.

"Lin Shi, please have a seat. I'll have an employee bring you another available chair."

His expression remained cold and indifferent, making it seem more like a punishment than a blessing.

Lin Shi was somewhat flattered.

Before he could refuse and say he would go by himself, Shen Zhixiao quickly stood up and shoved his chair next to Lin Shi, gesturing for him to sit down.

He looked at Su Ningshuang with a hint of disdain.

It seems to be saying, "So this pure and innocent young lady is actually quite caring."

Su Ningshuang continued to respond to her with a cold gaze:

Really? Even if I'm not perfect, I'm still better than those who just blindly imitate others. Don't you think so, Mr. Shen?

Lin Shi was sandwiched between the two people and the chair in the middle of the office, pressed against the wall, unable to move an inch.

I tried hard to hide my presence, pretending that I was just a permanent decoration in the office.

But the two female CEOs clearly had no intention of letting him off the hook.

Shen Zhixiao and Su Ningshuang turned their heads at the same time, their gazes meeting on Lin Shi's face, their meaning crystal clear:

"There are two chairs now, which one do you want to sit on?"

Lin Shi looked at the scene before him and swallowed hard.

Although I don't understand why a perfectly good day for slacking off has turned into this, years of life experience have taught me:

Choosing either chair is a dead end.

He glanced around furtively.

My heart sank even lower.

Shen Zhixiao, Su Ningshuang, and two chairs cornered him, leaving him unable to move.

He wasn't even given the option to go out and get a chair.

Just as Lin Shi was beginning to calculate the chances of successfully skipping the desk and leaving the house, a warm voice suddenly rang out.

"Brother Lin, let me go out and get you a chair."

Lin Shi, Shen Zhixiao, and Su Ningshuang immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

Ye Cheng settled her "boss chair," stood up, and spoke to Lin Shi.

The warm sunlight on his face instantly illuminated the entire office.

This even caused the already low office temperature to rise a bit.

For a moment, Lin Shi couldn't even be sure if he was seeing Ye Cheng or an angel; why was a halo appearing above his head?

Before the other two could react, Ye Cheng strode briskly toward the door, seemingly eager to help Lin Shi escape this predicament as soon as possible.

As Lin Shi watched Ye Cheng's disappearing figure, an indescribable feeling of emotion welled up in his heart:

This is a real lifesaver, Little Orange.

He turned his head back to Shen Zhixiao and Su Ningshuang. He pressed his chair against their smooth thighs, making a very narrow aisle for himself.

"The seating is all taken care of. Now I'll prepare some refreshments for you two!"

After saying that, without waiting for the two to react, he quickly left from the space he had just acquired, chasing after Ye Cheng's figure.

Seeing that the main character had run away, Su Ningshuang and Shen Zhixiao exchanged a glance, snorted coldly in unison, and sat back down in their original seats.

Lin Shi rushed out of the office, and as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Ye Cheng walking back, easily carrying a heavy chair between two fingers.

The movement was so light that it was as if she were holding a plastic bag instead of a chair.

Lin Shi estimated his departure time, then looked at Ye Cheng's speed, and his lips twitched involuntarily:

This isn't human speed! This is clearly teleportation!

"Brother Lin, you're out."

Ye Cheng saw Lin Shi standing in the corridor and said with some surprise.

"Ugh."

Lin Shi sighed helplessly and walked to Ye Cheng's side.

He took the chair from Ye Cheng and placed it in the corner.

"I made an excuse to skip the tea break and escaped."

"Don't go back yet. Come to the lounge and see if there's anything you want to eat. Let's grab some to take back together."

Ye Cheng listened to Lin Shi's explanation and nodded.

The Yorozuya's break room features an open design; for the convenience of employees, there isn't even a main door. The core principle is that employees can take as much as they want, and as much as they can afford.

Lin Shi and Ye Cheng walked side by side. As soon as they arrived at the door of the lounge, they heard a suppressed yet excited whisper coming from inside.

Inside the lounge, three or four people were quietly gossiping, each holding a coffee and a cookie.

A: "Do you think President Lin was able to come out unharmed?"

Little B: "I don't know, tsk tsk tsk, two female CEOs, that's scary."

Little C: "But don't you guys think it's really exciting? President Shen is obviously the controlling type, and although I've never worked with President Su, judging from her aura, she probably is too. President Lin..."

Little A: "President Lin!!!"

Little C: "Of course I know it's President Lin, what I'm not saying right now is... President Lin!!!"

The employees, who had been chatting enthusiastically, immediately fell silent upon seeing Lin Shi appear at the door.

He still had a hint of shame on his face, as if he had been caught gossiping by the person in question, and that person was his own boss.

Lin Shi didn't respond to them, but silently looked at the floor and said with a hint of amazement:

"Orange, look at this floor, it's really hard to find a good floor."

They wanted to give the employees who were just watching the drama a way out.

The steps were poorly placed and abrupt, but the employees all breathed a sigh of relief, bowed their heads, and quickly flowed out of the break room in neat little steps.

"Brother Lin, your acting is terrible. And your excuse is awful."

Ye Cheng watched Lin Shi's actions and ruthlessly complained.

Lin Shi gritted his teeth and strode inside:

"Stop joking around and get to work!!!"

Ye Cheng nodded slightly, preparing to enter.

The employees who had just left started whispering again, making Ye Cheng's face turn slightly red:

"What should we do! I think President Lin and Secretary Ye are a good match. After all, something's come up..."

Ye Cheng quickly shook her head, took the employee's words to heart, and went into the break room.

Lin Shi stood in front of the coffee machine, fiddling with making drinks:

"Orange, I doubt you like coffee, so I won't make it for you. There's orange juice in the fridge, you can have that, I think you'll like it."

"Remember to get one for your subordinate. Even though he's been faking his death, it wouldn't be good to forget about him."

"There are also snacks and desserts over there. Take a look and help yourself to whatever you want. If there's anything you'd like that's not available, you can tell your subordinate and they'll prepare it for you."

Lin Shi's hands and mouth didn't stop moving.

Ye Cheng nodded as she watched Lin Shi's actions.

"orange."

Lin Shi suddenly called out.

"What's wrong, Brother Lin?"

Ye Cheng replied very obediently as always.

Lin Shi scratched his head shyly, his eyes darting left and right, and asked in a low voice:

"Exactly, don't you think that President Shen and President Su's attitude towards me is a bit off?"

"I don't know if I'm being narcissistic, but I just always feel that a normal boss shouldn't be like this, right?"
