IGTCDCN chapter 10

Su Jiujiu didn’t expect to complete Task 6 right away and ended up with an extra 100 points for no reason.

Enjoying the full-service perks of the pet center, she was already envisioning a life of luxury and good food. Just as she was starting to slack off a bit, the system popped up again.

【Host, Task 7 has refreshed!】

“Already?” Hadn’t she just finished Task 6?

“Does your system follow a wolf-like work culture or something? I’ve only been on the job for two days, and I’ve already completed so many tasks! Can’t you let me rest a bit!”

The system pointed at Su Jiujiu’s finger: [We do not encourage working overtime, but the more you do, the faster you, the host, will grow~]

Su Jiujiu: “Please don’t say the same thing to my former boss.”

System: […But after completing Task 7 successfully, you will be rewarded with 300 points.]

Su Jiujiu remained unmoved.

The system continued enthusiastically: [There’s also something I forgot to mention before, points can be exchanged for real-world money from your original world.]

“What’s the exchange rate?”

【One point can be exchanged for 1,000 yuan.】

One point for 1,000 yuan… if she could save up 10,000 points, wouldn’t that mean she could take back ten million?

Su Jiujiu immediately grabbed Panda by the shoulders and said earnestly, “Money’s not the issue. The main thing is I love working. I especially enjoy taking on the role of the supporting female character! So, tell me, what’s Task 7?”

The system faced human fickleness for the first time and before it could even react, Su Jiujiu confused it with her question: 【…Task 7: A supporting female character who doesn’t interfere with the male lead’s work isn’t a good supporting female character. A qualified supporting female character must make a trip to the male lead’s company, fully asserting her presence in front of the employees, making all their eyes stop on her! Reward: 300 points upon success.】

Oh, wow, isn’t this just an upgraded version of Task 2?

Su Jiujiu got it.

Three or four people gathered around Su Jiujiu to take care of it, and they quickly finished cleaning its body, even finding time to do a full-body check.

The results showed that it was very healthy, just a bit hungry.

At this point, Assistant Lin was much more considerate than previous assistants, immediately asking, “Do you have any cat treats that taste good here? Money is no object.”

Soon, a pile of cat treats was placed in front of Su Jiujiu.

“Dudu, I still have to go to the company later to follow President Tan. How about I send you home first?”

Upon hearing this, Su Jiujiu paused with her pawful of snacks, her ears perking up!

“Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow!”

She wants to go to the company too! She wants to!

Assistant Lin obviously didn’t get her point. After sending the newly added pet supplies to the designated address, he carried the freshly washed, fragrant cat back to President Tan’s home.

“Stay home obediently, and after Mr. Tan gets off work, you can see him!”

Su Jiujiu didn’t listen. Every time Assistant Lin put her down, she would grab onto his pant leg and climb up in an instant, elegantly perching on his shoulder.

After several times, Assistant Lin gradually understood what she meant: “Dudu, you don’t want to be apart from me, do you?”

As soon as he said this, he turned his head and saw Mr. Tan’s cat giving him a huge eye roll.

Assistant Lin: “…”

He was just being overly sentimental.

Assistant Lin tried to look at it on the same level: “Do you want to see President Tan?”

“Meow~”

Exactly!

“But President Tan is at the office right now. You can only see him after work.”

“Meow meow meow!”

I don’t care, I want to see him!

Honestly, Assistant Lin actually saw a look of defiance in this cat’s eyes.

He quickly gave in: “Alright, you are after all President Tan’s cat, so maybe you can go to the office.”

Su Jiujiu didn’t expect him to agree so quickly. The more she looked at him, the more pleasing he seemed, so she conveniently retracted the sharp claws from her cat paws and lightly tapped his hand with them as a sort of reward.

“Meow!”

Not bad, very promising!

Maybe it really is the disguise that comes with having a cat body. Su Jiujiu got more and more used to cat-like postures, looked down on people with her cat eyes, and even started imagining that after conquering the male lead, she could make him personally scoop her litter.

Of course, this wish is still very difficult to achieve; otherwise, why would it be called a fantasy.

Su Jiujiu proudly followed Assistant Lin to the company. When he swiped his card to enter the building, she jumped ahead to the card reader, looking down from above, instantly catching the attention of the receptionist!

“Assistant Lin…” After all, he was the assistant by the boss’s side, so the receptionist was still quite familiar with him. She gave Su Jiujiu a troubled look. “Pets aren’t allowed in the company, not even yours.”

Assistant Lin raised his index finger and shushed her, “This isn’t mine, it’s the boss’s.”

Hearing this, Su Jiujiu proudly lifted her head.

That’s right, she was no ordinary cat! She was the domineering CEO’s cat!

The CEO’s woman can come and go in the office building, so what’s wrong if the CEO’s cat comes in!

The boss’s?

The receptionist’s eyes instantly lit up, and she said subconsciously, “The boss has a cat?”

“Yes, remember from now on, if it runs around, don’t chase it away thinking it’s a stray.”

“Okay.” After all, it’s the boss’s cat, so letting it through is very easy.

Su Jiujiu was perched on Assistant Lin’s shoulder, watching the elevator floor numbers jump up one by one.

Great! She had successfully entered the company, and next was her moment to show off and make a dazzling appearance in front of everyone!

As long as she walked through the company, countless people would naturally wonder why there was a cat in the office, realize she was the BOSS’s cat, and then know just how much the big BOSS adored her—so much that he actually brought her to the company!

In that case, Task 7 would be a piece of cake for her!

However, that idea was completely shattered the moment she stepped out of the elevator, because Assistant Lin took her straight to the CEO’s office. 　　On this floor, besides the absurdly huge CEO’s office, there was only a secretarial office.

In other words, there were only about twenty people on the whole floor!

At most, Su Jiujiu could only show off her skills among these twenty people. 　　This was completely different from what she had imagined!

Su Jiujiu was annoyed, and so was system, who squatted on Assistant Lin’s shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.

“System, does showing off your presence in front of more than twenty people count as completing the task?”

The panda, trying to climb onto Assistant Lin’s head, paused: [The task says the whole company, so it should at least be most people, right?]

Su Jiujiu began to feel unlucky: “Why does the male lead’s company have to be so big? It’s one thing if an entire building is his, but there are so many floors as well!”

This complaint is really unreasonable. After all, in novels, the domineering CEO often owns several buildings, and the front desk might act as a vicious supporting character to stop the heroine from entering, only to be slapped in the face later by the male lead who makes a grand entrance after taking an elevator down twenty floors, which takes about five minutes.

Clearly, Su Jiujiu does not receive the treatment of a heroine, nor does she have the charm to make the male lead come down to pick her up. The only person escorting her all the way up is Assistant Lin.

Moreover, he didn’t take her into the office but instead brought her to the secretarial department first.

As soon as he came in, the cat perched on his shoulder caught everyone’s attention.

“Assistant Lin, is this your cat?”

Assistant Lin shook his head, and before he could speak, he felt a lightness on his shoulder—the cat had already leapt down, jumping onto each person’s desk. Its graceful figure darted around, causing bursts of exclamations.

Su Jiujiu always has the idea of causing trouble.

When she jumps onto a male colleague’s desk, she turns to them and provocatively meows, deliberately baring her little threatening teeth—a complete prelude to mischief; when she jumps onto a female colleague’s desk, she deliberately wags her tail at them, using it to annoyingly pester their typing hands, and then mercilessly slips away just as they reach out to touch her.

For a moment, the office was in chaos; everyone had no mind to work and craned their necks to follow the cat’s movements.

“What are you all doing?”

A calm question broke through the lively scene, and everyone who had been captivated by the cat snapped back to reality, realizing that they were in the office and it was still working hours.

Not only had their work rhythm been disrupted by a cat, but they had also been caught red-handed by the boss.

Assistant Lin, who had brought the cat in, was indeed very bold.

Someone secretly gave Assistant Lin a look, signaling that there was nothing they could do to help.

Assistant Lin felt helpless too. He had originally planned to first take the cat to the secretary’s office to settle it somewhere, and then go to the CEO’s office to inform the boss about it. He didn’t expect that the cat, which had been quiet and gentle all along, would make such a fuss once it got into the office.

Thinking about this, he somewhat regretted not resisting the kitten’s cooing and bringing it to the company.

What if it really acts up like this?

What if we end up taking it into the boss’s office and disturbing his work?

Liu, the boss’s assistant, stood at the office door. Although his face showed no expression, his presence completely overshadowed all the employees under him: “What happened?”

Su Jiujiu was just crouching on the desk of the last person, hidden behind a computer and some plants, and didn’t stand out at all in the huge office. The employees behind the desk were also intentionally covering for it, constantly using their eyes to signal it not to make a sound at that moment.

But how could a cat understand human eye signals? The innocent kitty tilted its head, pretending to be clueless, lifted its front paw to lick its fur, and even deliberately let out a loud meow.

The office was quiet except for a single “Meow~”

“Where’s that cat coming from?”

Assistant Liu’s expression changed, and he looked in the direction of the meow.

Su Jiujiu listened to the footsteps and her anticipation grew even more.

Quick! Speak up and get it out of here!

Then it jumps out to reveal that its backer is the male lead, shocking everyone and making a big splash!

This is the proper way for a supporting female character to make her mark!

The author has something to say: 　　Smooch!!​
