Chapter 71: The Perils of a Stolen Wardrobe and a Sudden Transfer

Outrageous… utterly outrageous!

Gazing at the rapidly disappearing figure of the silly roe deer, Zhou Ruoyu, who had no hope of catching her, remained slumped against the windowsill in silence for a long time. Her lips twitched involuntarily, and she couldn’t help but sigh in exasperation.

‘How did Gu Xue suddenly become like this? The contrast is too stark. And this… this feels even more outrageous than her previous self!’

‘Ugh…’

‘Being stolen a few old clothes might be a minor matter; after all, I can’t wear them for now. But… was it really necessary to steal the new men’s clothes I just bought as well?’

‘This, this, this… these were clothes I just purchased! I bought them specifically to avoid wearing women’s clothes a few times!’

‘Ugh—’

Zhou Ruoyu instantly plunged into a fit of dejection. She had been thinking she wouldn’t have to wear a skirt to the company today. Ahhh…

‘No, what exactly is she after? What’s the point of a few clothes, seriously?’

The young woman fell into deep contemplation, lingering on the thought. After a long while, she even began to ponder the possibility of calling the police to have her ex-girlfriend apprehended. After all, this should count as a form of residential burglary, right? It… it should, shouldn’t it?

Although her clothes probably didn’t even meet the standard for filing a case, this was far too infuriating! It had caused severe emotional distress!

The mere thought of what Gu Xue might do with her old clothes once she took them back made Zhou Ruoyu involuntarily draw in a sharp breath. She then realized, with a deep sense of dread, that those clothes were very likely irrecoverable. They were far… far too perverted!

****

After a long period of speechless frustration, Zhou Ruoyu finally pulled herself together. She reluctantly donned a cute black and white JK uniform, preparing to head out to the company and resume her work life.

However… this time, before she could even leave her home, the young woman’s phone suddenly chimed with a message notification.

Zhou Ruoyu’s entire body stiffened, a premonition of trouble washing over her. She quickly lit up the screen, only to see a WeChat message that made her gasp even more sharply.

[Dragon Wing Boss: You don’t need to go to the customer service department today…]

‘No, no, no… what?!’

‘What does this mean, seriously? Fired on the spot?!’

‘No, it can’t be that bad, can it? I just complained after Liu Ruyan bullied me, and Liu Ruyan was already fired. Why is it my turn to be fired now? Is this some kind of equal punishment?’

‘Could it just be because I took a leave of absence yesterday?’

The petite girl with long black hair blinked in confusion, then quickly opened WeChat again, seeing the ‘typing’ status from the other party…

Moments later, in his office, Gu Jiachen curved his lips slightly, then continued to type:

[Dragon Wing Boss: I’m concerned you won’t manage interpersonal relationships well in the customer service department, so I plan to transfer you to another department. How about the planning department? The benefits will be the same, and it might even be a bit more relaxed.]

After sending the message, Gu Jiachen silently stretched, letting out a sigh of relief. Hmph…

Yesterday, hearing the little bunny’s slightly hoarse voice, the CEO had felt a pang of heartache. He felt… that the customer service job was probably exhausting the child. Afterward, the more he thought about it, the more he felt he had to transfer the little bunny.

After all, being his close corporate spy was already hard enough. When it came to work, it was better to let the little bunny have an easier time.

‘Hmm… huh?!’

Upon seeing the boss’s message, Zhou Ruoyu’s eyes immediately lit up. No longer a customer service Palu?

However, after a moment, a doubt began to stir within the young woman. ‘No, this kind of windfall… why do I feel a bit skeptical?’

‘Hmm… and although customer service work is indeed demanding on the voice and comes with significant individual performance pressure, I now have a cheat code for this type of work. I’ve become quite proficient. A sudden transfer at this point, especially to a planning department where I have no experience, this…’

‘Perhaps this isn’t a particularly good choice?’

The petite girl with long black hair weighed the options repeatedly in her mind, ultimately hesitating. ‘Ah… after all, working in any department means toiling like an ox. I’ve finally gotten used to this customer service job; wouldn’t it be unwise to suddenly jump out of my comfort zone now?’

So, after a moment, the young woman began to carefully consider her reply.

[Zhou Ruoyu: Um… Boss, actually, I’ve become quite familiar with customer service work. If I transfer to planning, I’m worried I won’t adapt again…]

[Boss: It’s fine. You don’t need to do anything for now. Just observe for two days, then we’ll talk.]

Watching Dragon Wing Boss’s confident reply, Zhou Ruoyu’s lips twitched involuntarily.

‘Well, well, it seems I have no choice but to accept this transfer arrangement, do I? Is it really so meticulously planned?’

‘Oh, well… fine, I suppose.’

After a long while, the young woman shook her head, thinking that if the planning department’s work was truly much easier than customer service, then it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Perhaps this was even a benefit package arranged by Dragon Wing Boss because of her enduring humiliation to get close to Gu Jiachen? In a sense, it could be considered a promotion and a raise…

‘Hmm… if that’s truly the case, then yesterday’s spanking… wasn’t entirely in vain!’

The young woman forcefully rationalized the situation to herself, then typed another question:

[Zhou Ruoyu: So, should I report directly to the planning department?]

[Boss: Are you still taking leave today? If you have issues and want to rest an extra day at home, that’s fine too.]

Gu Jiachen was still considering the little bunny’s rear, but Zhou Ruoyu no longer felt anything. After replying with ‘[No need]’, she quickly received further instructions.

[Boss: Then go. I’ll arrange for someone to wait for you in the planning department.]

[Zhou Ruoyu: Okay!]

The chat ended. Zhou Ruoyu put away her phone and headed out! Transferred, transferred! Customer Service Palu super evolved—Planning Palu!

****

Meanwhile, Gu Xue, having exerted every ounce of strength in her life, finally ran back to her own home, clutching a large bag of clothes. She then collapsed onto the floor, gasping for breath.

Huff~ huff~

She had run frantically, constantly glancing back along the way, terrified that the little green tea would catch up and snatch back the clothes she had so painstakingly collected…

Fortunately, in the end, she had succeeded! Gu Xue immediately pulled open the bag, took out a few pieces of clothing, and happily rubbed them against herself.

‘Hehe… hee… Ruoyu, Ruoyu’s clothes~ They still have Ruoyu’s scent~’

Gu Xue’s face bloomed with a happy smile. She mused that stealing all of Ruoyu’s clothes in one go while the little green tea wasn’t paying attention was the smartest decision ever. Ah~ *cough cough*, no, it couldn’t be called stealing!

After all, these clothes were left behind by Ruoyu when they moved and he hadn’t had time to take them! As his girlfriend, what was wrong with taking his clothes and keeping them safe? How could that be called stealing?

‘Hehe, they’re mine, they’re mine~!’

Gu Xue happily rubbed the collar again. A moment later, she gently slipped her hand into a clothes pocket, imagining herself nestled in the young man’s arms, and then…

It felt like she touched a piece of paper?

Gu Xue immediately frowned, then quickly pulled out the paper, only to find that it was a resume…

The person in the photo on the resume was clearly the little green tea. Gu Xue frowned again, wondering why the little green tea’s resume would be in Ruoyu’s clothes?

But… when she looked closely, she suddenly realized that the name written on the resume was…

Zhou…

Ruoyu?!
