My Best Friend is the CEO's First Love
墨書 Inktalez
At the banquet held by the CEO for his beloved, amidst the clinking of glasses and the swirl of elegant attire, I suddenly appeared. The CEO immediately darkened his expression and said, "Stop messing around; I will never like you."
Before I could respond, a waiter respectfully greeted me, "King Yan, you're here."
Ha, he only knew me as a malicious romantic but had no idea that I had a legitimate job. In reality, I was a chef known for my tendency to add too much salt to my dishes, earning me the nickname: Salt Prince.
Who says only those standing in the underworld can be called Yama? After washing my hands of my previous life, I rode my Little Electric Donkey to the banquet venue. The manager offered me triple the salary just to return to my old profession.
"Your suggestion is great; don’t mention it again," I said, looking at the CEO's pale face with a slight smile.
Manager Li pulled me into the kitchen, eagerly patting my shoulder. "Salt Prince, it's all up to you! You must impress President Gu!" I flexed my wrist and smiled confidently. "Don't worry; my culinary skills have been market-tested!"
The kitchen was bustling with activity, ingredients piled high. I surveyed the scene and quickly took charge. "Chef Zhang, slice the beef thinly; Chef Li, help me peel the shrimp..." Although some were initially skeptical of this sudden arrival of the Salt Prince, they gradually lowered their guard upon seeing my skilled movements and professional terminology.
Before long, several dishes that were visually appealing and aromatic emerged from my hands. First was "Golden Abundance," with golden fried rice glistening and distinct grains adorned with green scallions and bright red shrimp. Next came "Dragon and Phoenix Presenting Auspiciousness," featuring fragrant roasted duck paired with tender, juicy lobster that made mouths water. Finally, there was "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall," with rich broth exuding an enticing aroma that made everyone eager to taste.
As soon as the dishes were served, they drew waves of admiration from the guests. Gu Yuanshan looked at the exquisite dishes before him with a hint of surprise in his eyes; however, due to his earlier arrogance, he merely observed my busy figure in silence. Bai Qianchen took a bite of "Golden Abundance," her eyes lighting up. "This dish is delicious! Miss Xie, your cooking is amazing!" She put down her chopsticks and struck up a conversation with me.
Seeing the guests rave about the food brought a broad smile to Manager Li's face. He approached me and whispered excitedly, "Salt Prince, your skills are incredible! I've decided to double your salary!" I smiled slightly in response. "Manager Li, you're too kind."
After the banquet ended, as I was about to leave, Gu Yuanshan called out to me. "Miss Xie, please wait; I have something to discuss with you." I glanced back at him and replied, "President Gu, let’s talk about it tomorrow; I have things to do now." With that, I hopped onto my Little Electric Donkey and left him with a stylish retreat.
Gu Yuanshan watched my departing figure with a furrowed brow. Back in his office, he flipped through my profile and suddenly realized that I was actually the new programmer at the company named Kade Shan. He stood up abruptly and instructed his assistant to transfer me to his office with an unmistakable excitement in his tone. "Move her to my office; I want to personally 'evaluate' her."
The next day, my assistant called me into the office. "Xie Gongqiu, congratulations! You've been transferred to the CEO's office." She smiled brightly as she handed me a transfer notice.
I received the transfer order with no emotional response. Before becoming the "Salt Prince," I was Kade Shan, a bug killer and code heroine. My coding speed could match that of a CPU, and my ability to fix bugs could bring programs back to life. The head of the business department witnessed me solve a program issue that had troubled them for a week using a Paper Airplane, and he was so excited that he wanted to give me a raise on the spot.
"Xie Gongqiu, President Gu specifically instructed that you report directly to his office," the HR lady added.
I nodded and turned to walk toward the president's office. Just as I reached the door, I heard Gu Yuanshan's voice from inside: "Bai Qianchen, don't worry. I will get to the bottom of this matter and give you an explanation."
I pushed the door open. Upon seeing me, Gu Yuanshan's eyes flashed with a complex emotion. Bai Qianchen also turned to look at me and smiled slightly, "Miss Xie, hello."
I nodded in acknowledgment. "President Gu, what do you need me for?" I asked directly.
Gu Yuanshan scrutinized me from head to toe before slowly speaking, "Xie Gongqiu, I want to know how many identities you have that I don't know about." He placed the documents in his hand on the desk, which prominently displayed my various "achievements"—the karaoke champion at KTV, the lucky star on the golf course, the miraculous healer at the hospital known as "Chanel," and the "Flying Show" at the amusement park...
I shrugged. "That's just the tip of the iceberg." I walked over to his desk, picked up a Rubik's Cube, casually twisted it a few times, and then restored it to its original state. "My abilities are far beyond what you can imagine."
I gently placed the restored cube on the desk with a crisp sound.
"Oh? Is that so?" Gu Yuanshan raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning slightly back in his chair. His gaze was sharp as he stared at me, seemingly trying to see through everything about me. "Since you're so capable, why not stay in my office and be my personal assistant?"
I chuckled lightly and tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "Personal assistant? President Gu, are you sure you can afford my salary?"
