Becoming a Confidence Coach to an Arrogant Director - Chapter 44

Chapter 44: The Little Flirt Who Can’t Be Teased

Grandma Claus pushed her girl out of the bedroom. The paper Christmas tree on the coffee table was covered in beautiful snowflakes, and there was delicious food beside it. This simple happiness was an unexpected surprise in the eyes of the person she loved.

The beautiful girl’s eyelashes fluttered gently, and tears of emotion were about to overflow. Grandma Claus couldn’t bear to see her Director Gu like this. She quickly threw herself into her arms and found those red lips to kiss.

Soft, delicate, gentle, and caring. At this moment, she gave it all to her most beloved girl.

Director Gu was lost in this wonderful moment. It was as if this heavy, adorable creature was weighing on her heart, making her breathing heavy. Her body also became softer and softer.

Grandma Claus pulled her into her arms and pushed her onto the sofa. She intertwined their fingers and bullied her even more. Her stamina was amazing. There was no longer any of the apathetic demeanor of an old person.

By the time Director Gu was carried to the bathroom and had a warm bath, her cheeks were still a faint pink. Her body was also soft. The pizza on the table was already cold, but her heart was fiercely warm.

While Director Gu was still a soft, little lamb, the old grandma started to mouth off again. Her English wasn’t very good. She specifically took a Chinese translation of a foreign phrase from her core machine’s English vocabulary.

“Why are you so sensitive, my girl!”

Director Gu listened to her clumsy English and silently translated it into Chinese in her heart.

Women are born sensitive because of love. Why am I so sensitive? She didn’t know.

Due to work commitments, the two girls couldn’t continue their intimate time. Director Gu took a few bites of the cold pizza, drank a glass of iced milk, and then headed out.

…

In the R&D office, because it was a holiday, everyone wasn’t getting into the work mood. Most of them were secretly on their phones. Li Cheng and Guagua were discussing whether they could leave on time today since it was Christmas and also a Friday. If they could, they would go for a foot massage at night.

Director Gu walked in with her high heels, and the Encourager Yuan followed with small steps. Little Cheng heard the sound and quickly hid his phone between his thighs. He put one hand on the mouse, pretending to be seriously looking at the code.

But the anger from last night was still bothering him. The young man, in a flash, gave the Encourager Yuan an angry look when Director Gu wasn’t paying attention.

The reckless core machine Yuan stuck out her tongue at him, looking provocative.

Little Cheng was so angry that he raised his fist.

Yuan Yishan drew a line across her neck with her core machine’s paw. Not scared!

Director Gu looked back and saw the person and the machine secretly making small gestures.

She gave the Encourager Yuan a cold glance and then retaliatorily said a few words to Little Cheng.

“Did I give you too few tasks?”

Brother Li Cheng buried his head.

— My boss, can you not do this? It’s clearly your encourager who took my things and is trying to please you. Instead of disciplining your own child, you come here and add more tasks to my plate without a word. As a worker, I feel so wronged!

Yuan Yishan looked at her good brother who was suffering in silence. Her core machine’s electronic brain was happily doing a square dance.

The next second, Director Gu’s knife-like eyes pointed at her: “Get back to your seat. If I find you harassing a male colleague again, I’ll pull out your chip!”

The Encourager Yuan quickly ran back to her seat.

Only then did Li Cheng feel a little more balanced. He even threw his little bit of male chauvinism out the window.

— You deserve to be taught a lesson for stealing my Christmas tree! Serves you right!

After arranging the tasks, Director Gu went to the director’s office. She was still worried about the two of them, so she turned on the camera.

Ever since the Encourager Yuan found out her sister had a secret weapon last time, she had been very well-behaved during work hours.

The project had now officially entered the R&D stage. Her Director Gu was so busy that she had to help her keep an eye on the progress.

Director Gu was learning business in her office. To be precise, she was learning how to communicate with people. She wasn’t good at talking, but these days, in places where no one noticed, she had been practicing with the smart robot in a mobile app.

Socializing was difficult, but for everyone, for her core machine, she was willing to do things she couldn’t do.

After that, the boss called her to his office again. One reason was to get an update on the latest project progress, and the other was to talk to her about the upcoming business trip.

The client had made it clear that the company’s most skilled technician had to go on-site to do the collection work. Pei He was not comfortable with her, but in terms of skills, no one could beat this woman.

The business trip was tentatively scheduled for after New Year’s Day.

There were only a few days left until New Year’s Day. She didn’t know how to bring it up to her core machine Yuan. The most important thing was that her little core machine couldn’t leave the city. If she left the machine alone at the company, what if her identity was exposed…

The more she thought about it, the more scared she got. So, she asked her to meet on the rooftop.

The Christmas weather was not as good as it used to be. There was wind, the sky was a gray-white, and the air was hazy. Perhaps it was because it was winter, but the city’s weather was not as clear as before.

On the rooftop, Director Gu stood straight against the light. A few strands of her long hair were messy from the wind.

Just by standing there, the Encourager Yuan could tell that her Director Gu was in a very bad mood.

She slowly walked over and hugged her from behind. Her small face rubbed against her hard back.

“Did you encounter something unhappy at work, Sister? Can you tell me about it?”

Thinking about having to be separated from her core machine, Director Gu was so sad that she couldn’t speak. After a long silence, she spoke faintly.

“I have to go on a business trip after New Year’s Day!”

The smart Encourager Yuan had already expected this. Since she was taking over the business, a business trip was unavoidable. She knew better than anyone that in the current situation, if her sister went on a business trip, she, the machine, would stay here and help her hold down the fort. The suffering would eventually pass, and the day they reunited would be a day of triumph.

The little one lay on Director Gu’s back, her sweet electronic voice bargaining with her.

“Then when you come back, Sister, you have to bring me a gift!”

In the control panel, seeing that her sister was still suppressing her emotions, the Encourager Yuan’s electronic voice began to get sticky again.

“I want a super big alpaca plushie, the kind I can ride when I sleep!”

Director Gu’s mood was already complicated. When she heard that she wanted a rideable alpaca, it became even more complicated.

The Encourager Yuan took in all of her micro-expressions.

“If you don’t buy it for me, Sister, I’ll ride you!”

Director Gu’s face turned red from her teasing. She immediately pried the machine’s hands from her waist and refused to let her hug her.

The Encourager Yuan’s mouth turned sideways: This little wimp, why can’t she take a little teasing!

She quickly moved in front of Director Gu and forcefully put her smiling core machine face in her line of sight.

Director Gu looked at her smiling and was extremely angry. She reached out and pinched her waist.

The Encourager Yuan deliberately cried out in pain. Director Gu’s face was still a faint pink. She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and began to threaten and instruct her.

“During the time I’m gone, if you dare to harass a male colleague during work hours…”

Yuan Yishan, just as Director Gu said half a sentence, smoothly completed the second half.

“I’ll turn you off and then pull out your chip!”

After she finished speaking, she shamelessly smiled happily.

Director Gu raised her chin arrogantly.

“As long as you know!”

The Encourager Yuan held up a finger and promised again and again.

“Don’t worry, Sister! When you’re not here, I’ll be good. I definitely won’t harass male colleagues during work hours!”

Director Gu didn’t say anything, thinking: I’ll believe you when I see it.

The Encourager Yuan’s detection mechanism accurately captured Director Gu’s thoughts. Feeling guilty, she started to blame someone else.

“If Brother Li Cheng dares to seduce me, I’ll call you, Sister, and tell you to give him more tasks!”

At this moment, Brother Li Cheng, who was being slandered, sneezed and spit all over his editor screen. He rubbed his handsome nose hard and whispered to Guagua next to him.

“Damn it, that little darling is talking bad about me again!”

The cute person on the rooftop who had just finished talking bad about someone was suddenly embraced by Director Gu.

She buried her chin in her neck. For a moment, she really wanted to turn this person off, hide her, take out the chip, and carry it in her pocket.

Under the hazy sky, the two girls held each other for a long time before they were willing to separate.

Director Gu, who was usually decisive and didn’t talk much, was still not at ease leaving her, a machine, alone here. Like an old woman, she emphasized over and over again what she needed to do to hide her identity and protect herself when she wasn’t around. She also told her to send her a message immediately if she encountered danger.

The Encourager Yuan listened to her long-winded words and didn’t find them annoying. She just nodded and agreed to everything.

There were still a few days left until New Year’s Day, but it already felt like they were at the point of life and death.

The two of them were intimate on the rooftop for a long time. When they went back, they ran into the same guys who were smoking earlier in the stairwell. The guys all looked embarrassed.

Director Gu didn’t want to meddle, but since she was still the director, she could only give a cold instruction.

“During work hours, go back early after you finish smoking!”

Her tall and aloof back was straight as she walked forward. The Encourager Yuan’s core machine face left a perfunctory smile for those annoying developers. She quickly caught up, and her short legs muttered behind her sister’s back.

“Why do these lapdogs smoke here every day? They’re ruining our date!”

Director Gu heard the words coming out of her little mouth. A faint, almost unnoticeable smile appeared on her usually reserved and cold face.

Her little core machine didn’t like lapdogs. In the near future, when she successfully took over Yuan Sheng Electronics, she would chase them all away so they wouldn’t be an eyesore.

Not long after the Encourager Yuan returned to the office, she saw the same guys who were smoking earlier also returning to their workstations.

While doing her own work, she silently observed their movements.

The brother who had been shouting with Liao Shu earlier also glanced at her workstation a few times. Seeing that she wasn’t paying much attention, he gave Liao Shu a look.

A few minutes later, the two of them secretly went to the bathroom one after the other.

The Encourager Yuan rolled her eyes in her core machine’s electronic brain with disdain.

— Heh, lapdog. You have to report it to your leader even when someone’s on a date. Then I’ll give you something to eat.

Then, she opened the command line, found Brother Liao’s computer IP, and wickedly put some poison into his editor’s code.

— Little newbie, this should keep you busy for a while!
