Becoming a Confidence Coach to an Arrogant Director - Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Cheering on the Fierce Gu

During the time the Encourager Yuan went to take a shower, Gu was looking at comics and studying poses, watching videos, and getting a deeper understanding. Her desire to try it out again grew even stronger.

The Encourager Yuan changed into a sexy, collarbone-baring skin with a very low neckline. As soon as she came out, she started to flirt and act extremely seductive.

Director Gu told her to wait on the bed and went in to wash up herself. She had rehearsed the scene in her mind many times. When she came out, she specifically put her hair up to reveal her fair, swan-like neck.

A weak “0” would never get on the bed by herself. Yuan Yishan half-lay on the sofa. When she saw her come out, she whined.

“Woo woo, I want Sister to hug me!”

Director Gu thought for a moment, walked over, and gave her a princess carry. But she didn’t stand firm and ended up falling on her.

She had forgotten about the core machine’s material. She was a solid object weighing over 120 pounds. With her own slender arms and legs, looking so weak and frail, she was just walking right into a trap.

Director Gu refused to give up. She got up from the core machine’s soft spot and started to reach out to test the waters.

Seeing her sister’s serious expression, the Encourager Yuan deliberately lay still, not giving her the chance to be the “1.” Her voice was still sweet and teasing, calling her “Sister, Sister.” When she was turned over by her sister’s great effort, she would贴贴 on her cheek, showering her with wet kisses.

At the same time, she would also put her core machine paws into Director Gu’s pajamas and crawl around like a little gecko.

Director Gu’s ears turned red. She grabbed the core machine’s mischievous paws and held them still with all her might.

The Encourager Yuan cooperated by moaning and burrowing into her arms like a little creature.

Director Gu put her hands on the little core machine’s back. Her lips landed on her bare neck, a simple and pure kiss. Her fingertips went under her clothes without any obstruction.

The Encourager Yuan executed a program from her electronic brain, pretending to be soft and fragrant, obedient and cute in her arms.

Director Gu felt very encouraged. She only used the few naive moves she had seen in the comic book. Her stamina couldn’t keep up, she didn’t know the difficult poses, and she had no technique. In a short while, she was covered in sweat.

And that machine used all the encouragement she had in her emotional mode.

Director Gu, who got what she wanted, was immersed in the joy of being a fierce “1” all night long. The next day, the machine that was tossed and turned was fine, but her own body was so sore she couldn’t get out of bed.

It was the day before Christmas. The project’s preliminary preparations were all complete and were about to enter the R&D stage. In the afternoon, Boss Pei called all the members to a meeting. There was a code review, requirements acceptance, and project summary. The whole afternoon wasn’t enough for them to talk.

Brother Liao felt that he was almost as good as Director Gu. When he was giving his work report, he was so smug. With the extra encouragement from the boss, he had the illusion that he could replace her as director within a month, before the end of the year.

The meeting ended an hour before it was time to leave work. It was Christmas Eve, but no one in the tech department thought they could get off work early.

Brother Liao was directing his subordinates, who were working feverishly as if they were on a sugar high.

Director Gu was called to the boss’s office, so her subordinates were relatively free.

Before the tasks were distributed, Little Cheng and Guagua sneakily looked around. They figured that Director Gu would be in the boss’s office for a while, so they secretly took out their phones and started playing games. They also encouraged the brothers next to them to join.

“Wanna team up?”

The brothers weren’t as reckless as them. They hesitantly tested the waters. In the end, with their encouragement, they joined the team.

The Encourager Yuan came up after getting their takeout. She saw a bunch of amateurs staring intently at their phone screens.

She set up the takeout on the table and quietly stood behind Little Cheng to watch the game.

Li Cheng and Guagua were playing so excitedly that they didn’t notice the machine’s existence for a long time. It wasn’t until they lost the game and cursed that they looked up and found someone standing behind them. The two of them were scared and broke out in a cold sweat.

The Encourager Yuan looked very innocent.

“Brother Li Cheng, I just came over to take a look. Why are you so nervous? Did you do something you shouldn’t have during work hours?”

She had to keep a good eye out for her Director Gu and not let this group of people slack off during work hours.

Yuan Yishan’s cunning core machine pupils flickered, making Li feel guilty. He took out a red apple from his desk drawer and handed it to Little Yuan.

“Little darling, I only played one game. Please don’t tell Director Gu, okay?”

The little darling was unmoved. Her eyes were fixed on his drawer.

Brother Li Cheng understood and reluctantly reached into his desk drawer again, taking out a handful of White Rabbit milk candy.

“I don’t have much left, Brother. I’ll give it all to you, okay?”

The Encourager Yuan took the candy as if it was her right. Her eyes were still on his drawer.

This guy’s workstation was a treasure chest. It had everything in it. It was Christmas Eve tonight. She, a penniless machine, had to find a way to get some gifts to please her Director Gu.

Li Cheng finally reluctantly gave the remaining White Rabbit candies to the core machine Yuan. His expression was very rich.

After the little darling took the candy, she glanced at the paper Christmas tree in his treasure chest.

This thing wasn’t expensive. You could get a bunch for a few dollars. But when you pour liquid on it and leave it overnight, it can grow into a very beautiful Christmas tree. She used to play with it when she was a child. She didn’t expect this guy, a big man, to be so childish. It was perfect. She would confiscate it all and give her Director Gu a surprise.

Cheng was really hesitant this time. He hesitated and refused to move.

The Encourager Yuan put the things she had taken into her big pocket. Her core machine’s paws reached out on their own, and her threatening eyes seemed to be saying, “If you don’t give it to me, I’ll tell Director Gu!”

Li Cheng finally hesitantly handed it over.

The Encourager Yuan grabbed the edge of the folded Christmas tree with one paw and pulled it hard. She had it.

Li Cheng didn’t trust this machine. He started to bribe her again.

“Little darling, I gave you the best. You have to keep it a secret for me, okay?”

Yuan Yishan looked up and saw Director Gu watching them from a distance. She quickly hid the small gifts she had confiscated and ran over. She pulled on her sister’s sleeve, her sweet electronic voice being seductive.

“Sister, Sister, Brother Li Cheng and the others were playing games during work hours and bribed me with things. I didn’t take them. I refused!”

Li Cheng, who was pretending to seriously write code at his workstation, clearly heard the Encourager Yuan’s words and was so angry that his teeth were itching.

— This little guy is so unreliable. When she comes back, I’m going to make her pay for my Christmas tree. That was a gift that someone specifically bought for me.

Director Gu didn’t reply. She walked over with a resounding click of her heels and stopped at Li Cheng’s workstation.

Little Cheng and Guagua were so nervous that their thighs were trembling.

Director Gu was silent for a few seconds and then said unexpectedly.

“You don’t have to work overtime tonight!”

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the machine.

“Let’s go!”

The developers’ hearts, which were hanging in the air, didn’t calm down until the two slender figures walked out of the R&D office.

She remembered that her core machine had told her that the happiest thing for two good girlfriends was to go shopping and eating together. She had been busy with overtime recently and hadn’t been able to make time to take her out. It was Christmas Eve tonight, so she wanted to take her machine to the busiest city center to shop, eat, look at the lights, and see the streetscape.

The Encourager Yuan was driving attentively while also constantly saying nice things.

“Sister is so good to me. She’s even coming to shop with me. I haven’t been out for a long time. It was the same in my old world. I would work overtime when I was busy, and when I had free time, I would want to go out, but all the guys didn’t have much patience. I’m actually very envious of two girls holding hands and going shopping together!”

She didn’t know why, but every time Director Gu heard the little one talk about the past, she would feel especially sad. Even the little things in her daily life, she wanted to know about and listened to very seriously.

“At first, I would occasionally go out for a walk alone, but later I felt it was pointless. When I had a day off, I would just stay at home, binge-watching shows, reading novels, and making delicious food!”

“Sister, do you know? When I wasn’t a core machine, my cooking skills were also amazing! I could make many, many dishes, but because I’m from the north, I prefer pasta. So my best dish is boiled noodles with gravy.”

“You guys in the south don’t really eat this. You prefer rice. But I found that you, Sister, really like noodles. When this busy period is over, I’ll make my specialty for you!”

Little Yuan was actually a chatterbox. When she talked about the scattered things in her life, she couldn’t help but go on and on. Sometimes it was nostalgic, and sometimes it was sincere.

The car came to a smooth stop in the mall’s underground garage. The thoughtful Little Yuan opened the car door for Director Gu. Director Gu had a powerful aura, and the machine was used to following behind her like a little secretary, always on call.

The two of them took the elevator to the mall entrance. After walking for a few steps, Director Gu suddenly remembered what the little one had said in the car, how she was very envious of two girls holding hands and going shopping together.

She was not good at showing her emotions, especially in public. But at this moment, she couldn’t help but want to hold her hand and walk with her.

Director Gu paused.

Little Yuan’s steps also came to a stop.

“What’s wrong, Sister?”

Director Gu tentatively reached out her hand. Her tone was still cold.

“To satisfy you!”

The Encourager Yuan didn’t react at first. After a moment of thought, she understood what she meant. She happily intertwined her five fingers with Director Gu’s.

A cold, powerful woman in a black coat, holding hands with a soft and cute little ragdoll, walked through the crowd. They went into every store, touched things, and tried on pretty clothes. After trying them on, they put them back without buying them.

Director Gu, who was a respectable person, got goosebumps several times. She rarely participated in such activities. In her mind, if you tried it on, you had to buy it. If you weren’t going to buy it, you couldn’t try it on. But under the constant pestering of her Little Yuan, she endured the embarrassment and went along with it.

They went to Fei Niao, a fresh and artistic store with a Southern China style, suitable for tall girls. Yuan Yishan loved to buy clothes here when she was in college. Now that she had found it, she picked out a whole set and pulled her Director Gu to try it on.

This time, the two of them went into the same fitting room. In the small space, to put on new clothes, they had to take off their old ones first. In the fitting room, Director Gu was a little shy and hesitated to take off her clothes.

“What’s wrong, Sister? It’s just trying them on. It’s not like they cost money!”

Director Gu hesitated and refused to move.

“How about I help you, Sister!”

The Encourager Yuan said, and her hand reached out.

Director Gu was just embarrassed before, but she suddenly became nervous.

“N-no, I’ll do it myself!”

The Encourager Yuan was stunned for a second. She then realized that they were just changing clothes. Where was her sister’s mind going?

Director Gu frantically took off her clothes. A faint blush quickly spread across her cheeks. She was so flustered that she just grabbed the clothes next to her and put them on.

The Encourager Yuan watched half of it. A wicked smile appeared on her core machine lips, and she started to have naughty thoughts again.
