MFIMM Chapter 6
by VolareLiving Together
Assistant Song cleared his throat, interrupting the strange atmosphere.
Pei Jiashu stood up from the stool, buttoned his suit jacket, signaled the professional analyst to continue discussing with Lin Xi, and then walked straight out the door.
The assistant was left behind, looking at Lin Xi with a reassuring gaze: “Mr. Lin, CEO Pei usually doesn’t participate in the planning of artists, so…”
The assistant didn’t finish the sentence. Lin Xi snorted softly. So Pei Jiashu deliberately found an opportunity to humiliate him!
The analyst, naturally, didn’t understand the intricacies of the situation and used data to visually show Lin Xi various statistics of his account, while also suggesting several routes suitable for him.
Pei Jiashu’s words seemed to still linger in his ears. Lin Xi looked at the routes the analysts had chosen for him and said with sudden inspiration, “Then I choose the beauty and makeup route.”
He talked with the analysts for a long time. When he came out of the office at noon, his account had been completely revamped, leaving only a few videos with his face shown on a large screen. His homepage was clean all of a sudden, and he also changed his personal profile.
From now on, he would be an anchor with a formal job!
“Ding-dong—” A message suddenly popped up on his phone, sent by Pei Jiashu.
Pei: Let the assistant take you up after you’re done talking.
Lin Xi’s good mood instantly vanished, especially since the analysts who had come out of the meeting room were discussing, “Is CEO Pei married? I saw a wedding ring on his hand.”
“Quick, look at your phone, CEO Pei posted on Weibo.”
Lin Xi also opened his phone and saw that his special follow on Weibo had just posted a Weibo two hours ago, a simple “Married” accompanied by a marriage certificate.
This Weibo was screenshotted and reposted madly by marketing accounts, and more people were lamenting that such a good alpha had entered the tomb of marriage.
The previous confession video was no longer noticed.
Lin Xi switched to his alternate phone and cursed a few times secretly. The analysts were still discussing what kind of person their CEO Pei had married.
Although Lin Xi’s illusions about Pei Jiashu had been shattered, he still felt a secret sense of pleasure at this time. No wonder some people liked underground relationships.
The assistant approached him. “Mr. Lin—”
“Stop.” Lin Xi manually pressed the assistant’s mouth, pulled him aside, and said in a low voice, “Pei Jia… CEO Pei told me to go find him, right? I know. Let’s go quietly, don’t let others find out.”
So Lin Xi, who had just familiarized himself with the terrain, pulled the assistant around to avoid people, acting like they were playing some kind of real-person CS game. Fortunately, it was lunchtime and the people in the company had gone to eat.
The assistant took Lin Xi directly to the top floor via the CEO’s elevator. This place only had Pei Jiashu’s and the assistant’s offices.
The office was the standard CEO’s office with a cold and aloof atmosphere. The midday sun shone in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, making Pei Jiashu’s face look like it was glowing.
Lin Xi plopped down on the stool opposite Pei Jiashu. He could even see the tiny hairs on Pei Jiashu’s face. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses at work, staring intently at the computer screen without blinking.
It wasn’t until he felt a fascinated gaze that he frowned and looked over. The tenderness in his slightly raised peach blossom eyes dissipated, and his sharp features indicated the owner’s aggressiveness.
Pei Jiashu’s slightly mocking words followed, “It seems you quite like my face.”
“Pui, pui, pui.” Lin Xi instantly exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, “pui-ing” several times in a row, and looked up at Pei Jiashu, saying, “Don’t just look for me at the company.”
Pei Jiashu chuckled as if he had heard something funny. After a long time, he turned the computer screen around.
Lin Xi looked closely and saw that the screen didn’t show any work content, but rather the surveillance video of Lin Xi leading the assistant around sneakily.
Had Pei Jiashu been seriously watching this just now?
Lin Xi’s filter shattered to the ground again, although this man already had no filter left in his eyes.
“You…” Lin Xi pointed at Pei Jiashu with his finger, speechless.
“And don’t do anything strange with my assistant at the company.” Pei Jiashu also raised his head, and the eyes behind the lens reflected a teasing smile.
“I didn’t do anything strange. In short, don’t just look for me at the company. Our relationship must be strictly kept secret.”
“Okay.” Pei Jiashu suddenly took out a key from the desk and placed it in front of Lin Xi. “This is the key to my apartment. Move in as soon as possible this week.”
Lin Xi held the key, feeling a mix of emotions in his heart.
Pei Jiashu continued, “The company’s anchors don’t need to work fixed hours, but the company also has prepared live streaming rooms. You can stream at the company or at home, whichever you prefer.”
“Is your apartment big? Is it soundproof?” Lin Xi asked excitedly. Although he didn’t want to stream in a crowded place like the company, he was, after all, living in someone else’s home.
Pei Jiashu held down the face that was almost reaching his computer and poked Lin Xi’s head with his finger, saying simply, “Not small. Soundproof, I guess?”
Pei Jiashu wasn’t too sure himself, after all, the only human in that apartment was him.
“Then I’ll stream at home.” Lin Xi was already enjoying his beautiful future.
Pei Jiashu said without looking up, “Okay, call the assistant to pick you up in the afternoon after you pack up.”
“That’s so nice? You’re actually letting the assistant pick me up?” Lin Xi was flattered for a moment. Pei Jiashu hadn’t even sent him home on their wedding day.
“Your information hasn’t been entered into the security system. You can’t get in.” Pei Jiashu explained indifferently, then suddenly became interested and teased Lin Xi, “Or you can wait for me to get off work at the entrance of the complex and I’ll take you in.”
“I don’t want to.” Lin Xi refused categorically.
In the afternoon, Lin Xi returned home to pack his things. Lin’s mother said angrily, “You kid just found a job and you’re moving out. Can’t this house still accommodate you?”
Lin Xi’s hands, which were packing things, paused. He wasn’t moving because he found a job, he was married—
But he didn’t plan to tell Lin’s mother about this yet. He walked over and hugged Lin’s mother, kissing her face several times. “Mom, it’s not like I won’t be back. I’m just living in the company’s dormitory. I’ll come back to see you often on weekends.”
“Wait, are you avoiding blind dates? Mom found another handsome young man for you. You have to meet him.”
“Mom!” Lin Xi didn’t expect his mom to still remember this matter. He could only say, “Don’t find any more for me. I’m recently getting to know a tall, handsome, and rich alpha.”
“Then bring him home for us to see when you have him.”
“We’re not even close yet, I’ll see. But don’t find any more for me recently!”
Lin’s mother sighed and went forward to help Lin Xi pack his things together, packing two large boxes full. After sending a message to the assistant, he arrived in less than half an hour.
He took Lin Xi smoothly into Pei Jiashu’s complex. Only then did Lin Xi realize that this complex was a famous rich people’s complex, said to be tens of thousands per square meter.
When he got to the apartment, Lin Xi was about to take out his key when he saw the assistant open the door with a password.
Lin Xi’s hand stopped. What did Pei Jiashu mean by having him come to him specifically to give him the key? Couldn’t this have been done with a sentence on WeChat?
He took a deep breath and told himself not to get angry, because no one would replace him if he got sick from anger.
Then, after entering the room, Lin Xi felt that Pei Jiashu’s sentence “not big” was simply mocking him.
The apartment was located on the eighteenth floor and was a duplex flat. The living room had a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. It was the strongest time of the afternoon sun, and the smart curtains were pulling on thinyarn curtains. The orange-yellow light shone through the light gauze, leaving a special luster on the marble.
At first glance, this house was at least 150 square meters.
“Is your boss that rich? He paid for a 1.6 million diamond ring without blinking an eye, and he lives in such a nice house.”
Lin Xi was a little resentful of the rich.
The assistant remained silent.
The assistant led Lin Xi to the room on the first floor and said to Lin Xi, “This is your room. CEO Pei is on the second floor. He hopes you don’t disturb him if you don’t have anything to do.”
“Tch, I hope he doesn’t bother me if he doesn’t have anything to do.”
Lin Xi walked into the bedroom. The bedroom was fully equipped. There was a bay window by the window, with several tatami mats on it. There was a large table placed here.
“You can stream here, or you can prepare a separate live streaming room for you. In addition, the live streaming equipment, I have already ordered people to send from the company, and there will be someone to install it for you later.”
The assistant said in a businesslike manner, but Lin Xi’s eyes gradually sparkled as he looked at him. “Assistant Song, you are so thoughtful, I even want you to be my assistant.”
Lin Xi spoke too quickly for a moment, and quickly covered his mouth after reacting, “I’m just kidding, I shouldn’t be able to afford your salary.”
Assistant Song was amused by Lin Xi, and couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth, but because of the nature of his work, he was desperately pressing down on the corners of his mouth.
“Then I won’t disturb you, contact me at any time if you have anything.”
“Okay, thank you, Assistant Song.”
After Assistant Song left, Lin Xi unpacked his boxes and threw them on the ground first, jumped on the bed and rolled around twice. The mattress looked comfortable at first glance, but the whole room was black, white and gray, which seemed a bit depressing.
He sat up from the bed and pulled out his four-piece set from the box, which was still painted with SpongeBob.
He didn’t know where to put the scattered things for the time being, so he piled them on the ground. Just hanging all the clothes in the cloakroom had exhausted all his strength. He lay down on the SpongeBob sheets again and couldn’t help but take a nap.
After Pei Jiashu returned from the company, he noticed the extra shoes at the door and realized that another person was now living in this apartment.
The sky darkened and the induction lights in the house turned on automatically.
Pei Jiashu called out “Lin Xi”, but there was no response. He walked to Lin Xi’s room, knocked a few times, but didn’t pay attention to him.
Afraid that something had happened to Lin Xi, he pushed the door open and entered, only to see a mess on the ground. The colorful bed sheets on the bed stung Pei Jiashu’s eyes. The SpongeBob area was slightly raised, and there was a lump of people lying inside.
Looking at his previous tidy model room being turned into this by Lin Xi, Pei Jiashu was speechless for a moment.
He suppressed his anger and continued to call Lin Xi, “Lin Xi, get up and clean this up.”
Lin Xi in his sleep could only feel a buzzing sound, so he picked up a pillow from his hand and threw it at Pei Jiashu.
Pei Jiashu was hit in the face by the sudden pillow, and gritted his posterior molars, saying word by word, “Lin Xi, you’re finished if you don’t get up.”
