Chapter 25: So You're the Little Vixen Who's Been Shacking Up with the Boss for Two Days?

During the two days Song Jiang looked after Fu Zhichen at his home, he had no idea what kind of rumors were flying around the company.

Sure enough, right after Song Jiang dropped the boss off at his office, Mei Moyu and Xu Can slyly dragged him to the break room.

Mei Moyu wore his signature 'spill the tea' expression. "Xiao Song, I need to ask you something, and you have to be honest with me."

"Did the boss really spend two days in bed because his kidneys gave out and he was completely spent?"

???

What?

Song Jiang was baffled.

Who are they talking about?

Kidney issues? Totally spent?

This was the most absurd thing he'd heard all year, no contest!

Song Jiang asked, "Which genius started spreading this rumor?"

Mei Moyu scratched the back of his head and shook his head. "No clue. Didn't you check the company group chat? It's all over there."

"They're saying that at the Chu family banquet, the boss drugged some woman to get her."

"And since the boss didn't come to work for two days, everyone in the company is guessing he was completely taken with that woman! That they went at it like rabbits for two days and nights at home!"

"Xiao Song, you were at the boss's place for two days—did you see that little vixen? I want to know how stunning she must be to impress the boss!"

Oh, boy.

The rumor mill is powerful.

If he hadn't stayed at the boss's place for two days, taking care of a sick boss,

he would've believed the rumor himself.

Xu Can took a sip of her freshly brewed coffee and nudged Song Jiang's shoulder. "Xiao Song, you're the one who's always glued to the boss's side around here. Give us the full story."

Striking a nerve, Song Jiang pounded the table in frustration. "You don't know the half of it! I've had the shittiest two days!"

"..."

Song Jiang gesticulated animatedly as he vividly recounted everything that happened over the two days, naturally omitting the part about crawling into the boss's bed.

That kind of private matter was better left unsaid.

He focused on how the boss bossed him around and squeezed him dry. With all his embellishments, the image of the cold-hearted, ruthless boss became even more entrenched in their minds.

"Aww, our poor Xiao Song has really suffered." Xu Can said sympathetically. "So you're the little vixen who's been shacking up with the boss for two days?"

Song Jiang: "..."

"Xu Can, you really know how to sum things up."

Xu Can let out an awkward chuckle. "The boss worked you so hard—did he at least give you overtime pay?"

Song Jiang waved his hand. "Not much, just five hundred an hour. Pocket change, nothing worth mentioning."

"No way!" Xu Can's jaw dropped as she shouted, "You lucked out! Ask the boss if he needs more people!"

"I'll take four hundred an hour for overtime!"

Mei Moyu, who had been exploited by the boss for years, was on the verge of breaking down. "I've worked diligently for the boss all these years, and my overtime pay is only three hundred an hour. But you get five hundred? This is unbearable! God damn it!"

Song Jiang: "It's not that much money. Calm down, don't be so provincial."

Xu Can rolled her eyes and turned serious. "So, from what you're saying, the boss didn't find a woman? It was that disgusting creep who drugged him? Then the boss took a cold bath, got sick, and you took care of him at home for two days?"

Song Jiang nodded.

Xu Can grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds. "Speaking of that creep, his story has a lot more to it."

Mei Moyu and Song Jiang looked at her expectantly.

"Fan Jian likes to mess around with women, right?"

"According to inside sources, while the boss was off work these two days, Fan Jian also got dosed with some aphrodisiac at a nightclub!"

"He called four or five women to his room!"

"The sounds from the room went on all night, and by the end, I heard Fan Jian was completely spent!"

Xu Can spat out a seed shell and continued.

"And a girl detailed all the dirty things Fan Jian did. Now she's demanding money from him."

"I don't know if the boss was behind it, but because of this, Fan Bin beat Fan Jian senseless and put him in the hospital."

To beat his own son—at that moment, Song Jiang felt that Fan Bin was truly a ruthless character.

Xu Can suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right, Steward Song, I saw you driving the boss's multi-million yuan luxury car to take him home last time. What's the deal with that?"

"Oh, that." Song Jiang said casually. "The boss fired the old driver. Now I'm fully responsible for the boss's transportation needs."

"What? He's working you to the bone again?!"

"No, no. He pays me for it."

After a few seconds of silence, Xu Can was the first to react. "So... does that mean you're now collecting two paychecks, with overtime pay at five hundred an hour?"

Song Jiang blew a strand of hair off his forehead, looking nonchalant. "It's just pocket change. Nothing worth mentioning."

Mei Moyu let out a relatively calm sigh, his expression lifeless. "Comparisons are odious."

Xu Can was especially agitated, grabbing Song Jiang's shoulders and shaking him.

"And you're driving the boss's car? Do you even know how to drive? I'm a seasoned driver—let me drive!"
