IGTCDCN chapter 22.2

When Tan Chen saw the look on its face, his mood inexplicably lifted, and he mercifully let it go, pulling up a TV show on the tablet and letting it play by itself on the side.

That was more like it.

Su Jiujiu bit into the grapes on the table, completely absorbed in the show.

But even TV shows get boring after a while. Two hours passed, and Tan Chen behind the desk was fully immersed in his work.

Su Jiujiu watched for a while, then quietly climbed down from the table and slipped out of the office, ready to find a new breakthrough to complete the task.

Just as she turned a corner in the hallway, she saw a group of people walking this way from not far off, including Song Yawen.

“Ah, President Tan brought the cat to the company again!”

“Did you guys see that short video over the weekend? Isn’t that cat in it President Tan’s?”

“President Tan’s cat is called Dudu, and the shop assistant also called it Dudu, it must be the same one!”

“What about that big golden retriever? Is it also raised by President Tan?”

“That video really went viral; my girlfriend also saw it.”

“……”

A bunch of chirping discussions reached Su Jiujiu’s ears, bringing one confusion after another.

What short video?

What big golden retriever?

What exactly are these people talking about?

Su Jiujiu kept some distance from them, and since they didn’t dare to casually pet President Tan’s cat, they would only look at it enviously for a bit longer whenever they passed by.

This time was the same; they chatted and laughed at it for a while before collectively entering the meeting room.

【Ding!】The system, after a long time, released a task again: 【Task 11: A good supporting female character does not slander others or let petty people succeed. The host must show her presence as the top supporting female in front of Song Yawen. Reward: 300 points upon successful completion!】

Three hundred points?

Su Jiujiu’s eyes lit up, instantly throwing aside her previous confusion about ‘what short video’ and wholeheartedly began to focus on studying the task.

Isn’t it just about annoying Song Yawen a bit? She definitely wants to do it!

Su Jiujiu silently walked to the frosted glass door of the meeting room, trying to listen to what was being discussed inside.

But the glass door had good sound insulation, and after listening for a while, she could only hear a few bursts of clear laughter. Unable to see clearly, Su Jiujiu felt as if there were a worm scratching inside her heart—uncomfortable and unwilling.

Just as she was pacing back and forth outside the door, the glass door suddenly opened, and a familiar figure walked out from inside.

Song Yawen looked down and saw the cat that had nearly brushed against her feet, instantly recalling the last time she got embarrassed at President Tan’s house because of it, and a faint annoyance stirred in her heart.

She casually closed the glass door, looked around to make sure there were no cameras or colleagues, and lightly kicked the cat, “There’s a meeting going on inside, move away.”

This time, Su Jiujiu dodged quickly, and from the moment Song Yawen lifted her foot, she leaped forward, stepped on the top of her foot, and sprang to the other side.

After smoothly dodging, Su Jiuju turned around effortlessly, flashing her a provocatively mischievous grin.
Such an expression on a cat looks incredibly cheeky.

Song Yawen took a deep breath. “I’m not going to argue with you right now.”

She took out a tissue to wipe her shoes and turned toward the break room.
But wherever she went, the cat followed right behind her.

This is at the company, and Su Jiujiu wasn’t afraid of being bullied at all. She tailgated the supporting female like crazy, flaunting her presence with all kinds of wild gestures.

While Song Yawen made coffee, she squatted by the water cooler, smirking mockingly—tsk tsk tsk, everyone else is in meetings, and look at you, sent out just to make coffee?

When Song Yawen washed cups, she squatted by the sink, tilting her head with a sneer—what’s the matter? So free you can only wash cups? Don’t tell me you actually have nothing to do?

Song Yawen walked out, and she followed right behind, meowing in a weird, sarcastic way—No way, no way, are you just going to walk into the meeting room for appearances?

Relying on the fact that there’s a camera in the tea room, Su Jiujiu’s little cat-like attitude was completely obvious. Song Yawen held the handle of her teacup, unable to bear it, but had no choice but to keep enduring.

The cat she imagined would mostly be cautious and keep its distance after being hurt, but this cat was completely different—grudging and kinda annoying. She could even see mockery and ridicule on its face, it was really crazy!

Song Yawen wasn’t foolish enough to argue with a cat at the office, so she just grabbed her coffee and left the break room, heading back to the meeting room.

The moment she walked into the meeting room and closed the glass door, a sharp, horrible scream suddenly erupted from behind her.

All the colleagues in the meeting were startled by the sound and turned their heads, and the next second, their faces were full of anxiety and blame.

A strong sense of foreboding immediately rose in Song Yawen’s heart. She quickly turned around… and sure enough! The cat was following her, caught in the half-closed glass door, letting out wave after wave of miserable cries!

“Hurry and open the door!” someone dashed past her, quickly pulling open the glass door and picking up the yowling little cat.

“Dudu, are you okay?”

Su Jiujiu lay in her colleague’s arms, barely conscious, eyes half-closed, head hanging, looking listless—clearly had been pinched quite hard just now.

Her colleague coaxed her for a long time, but seeing that the cat paid no attention, he started to worry: “Dudu, you’re not hurt, are you?”

Someone nearby, who had long disliked Song Yawen, took this chance to scold her: “Why didn’t you check when you came in just now? The cat right behind you got pinched like this!”

Song Yawen had no way to explain; how could she have known the cat would follow her and get caught in the glass door!

The meeting was interrupted, and sitting at the front of the conference room, Assistant Liu frowned: “Enough, you don’t need to attend today’s meeting. Take it and quickly go to the nearby veterinary clinic!”

Song Yawen, who had already prepared a plan to present in the meeting, clenched her teeth, wanting to say something to salvage the situation. However, everyone anxiously watched her, leaving no room for delay.

She had no choice but to hold her breath and take the cat from her colleague’s arms.

“Hey, slow down with the hug, your movements are way too rough!” The colleague complained, dragging her hand slightly, and finally muttered softly, “No wonder you ended up pinching president Tan’s cat, you’re really so clumsy.”

Anger rising rapidly, Song Yawen couldn’t argue with her colleague here, so she could only hold back her fury and leave the meeting room with the cat.

As soon as the person and the cat stepped outside, the system’s prompt sounded: [Congratulations to the host for completing Task 11, earning 300 points, current points 3900!]

Very well, now she only needs 1,100 points to become human!

After completing the task, Su Jiujiu no longer wanted to stay in Song Yawen’s arms. She immediately struggled wildly, shaking off the lethargy from just now and becoming very active. She stretched out, jumped down from her arms, and even turned her head to give her a sidelong glance.

That look was as disdainful as could be, not even wanting to pretend for another second.

If Song Yawen had only suspected that this cat was faking earlier, now she was very certain that it was deliberately taking revenge on her!

How can this cat be even less human than a human! She tightened her arms, grabbed the back of the cat’s neck, and held the cat firmly in her arms.

“Aren’t you injured? I’ll take you for a check-up!” Song Yawen almost grit her teeth word by word as she said this, ignoring the cat’s struggles in her arms, and forcibly led it outside.

Su Jiujiu waved her two paws but still couldn’t break free from her embrace.

“Meow meow meow?”

Where are you taking me?

Song Yawen’s arm remained perfectly still, and she sneered, “Weren’t you acting all big just now?”

The resentment from the break room combined with that in the meeting room, and she only thought about taking this cat outside to give it a good lesson, to let it know what it means to be obedient!

Just as she turned a corner, she happened to bump into a familiar male colleague.

Su Jiujiu was certainly unwilling to actually be taken outside by this woman; wouldn’t that be like calling out to heaven and earth with no response?

So after seeing other people, it immediately started making a fuss in Song Yawen’s arms, causing quite a commotion.

A male colleague came over curiously and asked, “Isn’t this President Tan’s cat? What’s wrong with it?”

Song Yawen held the cat calmly: “It just accidentally got caught in the glass door, might be feeling a bit uncomfortable. I’m taking it out to get it checked.”

“Oh, oh, oh, then you better go!”

The male colleague didn’t think much of it and went back to his desk, passing by Song Yawen.

Su Jiu watched helplessly as her chance to call for help disappeared, and she hissed angrily.

Trying to control her while avoiding getting scratched made Song Yawen’s progress painfully slow. If she happened to run into Assistant Lin… if that happened, he would definitely take over this task, and then what chance would she have?

Thinking this, Song Yawen’s eyes darkened, and she changed direction, taking Su Jiujiu straight to the women’s restroom.

On this floor, apart from the CEO’s office, there is only a secretarial office, and all the female colleagues are currently in the meeting room. In other words, at this time, no one would appear in the women’s restroom.

Song Yawen entered the restroom holding a cat and closed the door behind her, containing all the sounds inside.

Su Jiujiu, being held by the back of her neck, felt uncomfortable everywhere: “Meow!”

What are you going to do!

“Don’t think that just because you’re President Tan’s cat, I won’t dare touch you.” Song Yawen tugged at the corner of her mouth, her gaze extremely dark. “In this world, there are plenty of things that leave people speechless, and besides, you’re just a cat.”

Su Jiujiu met her gaze and shivered all over. “System, why does her expression look so scary?”

The system shrank behind her: [Be careful, this supporting female lead has been living alone abroad for ten years; she’s not something you can just mess with lightly.]

“She’s not going to torture a cat again, is she?!”

[That’s hard to say.]

Just as they were both on high alert, Song Yawen finally moved. She lifted her feet and walked toward the sink, plugging the drain at the bottom, letting the water fill the basin.

Su Jiujiu was extremely close to the sink, and her first reaction was that Song Yawen was going to drown her, so she began struggling intensely.

“Shit! She’s not seriously going to push me into the water, is she? She wouldn’t actually dare do something like this at the office, would she?”

Song Yawen is really daring. She grabbed the cat by the scruff of its neck and suddenly tossed it onto the water surface… stopping just a few centimeters above the water.

“Are you scared?” The woman looked at it with a smile, her tone gentle. “How could I ever do that to you? After all, you’re President Tan’s cat!”

Su Jiujiu had been genuinely startled just moments ago, and upon hearing this, she glared at her fiercely.

Stop pretending here! You clearly want to push me in!

“Look at you, still quite defiant.” A trace of a smile lifted the corner of Song Yawen’s mouth. “Do you know? Although I really want to push you in, it would be too obvious. If President Tan sees you in such a mess, he would definitely know it was me.”

Although the tone was one of regret, Su Jiujiu could sense a hint of danger in her words.

“So I’m going to try a different method.” She stepped away from the sink and carried the cat to the bathroom stall door. “Didn’t it just get caught in the door? If it’s not injured, that would be troublesome—I still need to take you to the hospital.”

A fair, slender hand pushed open the stall door, while the other hand held the cat, placing it in the gap of the door.

“Be good, I’ll just pinch you gently.”

A light laugh sounded from above. Su Jiujiu had never heard such a vicious tone from anyone’s mouth before. Even when Song Yawen kicked her by the roadside last time, she hadn’t felt so spine-chilling.

“Meow!!!”

She struggled desperately to get up.

Song Yawen looked at the small life struggling in her hands with pity: “What are you afraid of? I thought you wouldn’t be scared.”

No sooner had she spoken than the compartment door was slammed shut.

Seeing that she was about to hurt herself, Su Jiujiu got fierce and scratched her hand hard with her claws.

“You damn cat!” Song Yawen yelped in pain and instinctively let go.

Su Jiujiu gave a sudden tug, used the momentum to leap to the top of the partition, and jumped into the next bathroom.

Song Yawen shook off the initial pain, didn’t bother with her scratched hand, and yanked open the door to the next bathroom, determined to catch the cat again.

Just as she was pulling the door halfway, a foot suddenly shot out from behind and kicked her hard, causing her to fall onto the toilet.
