Chapter 322: Chu Shao won’t take the medicine bought by others!
Translator: 549690339
The eldest son of the Chu family has a severe case of obsessive-compulsive disorder, necessitating the replacement of the sheets and bedding for every use, even those in the company lounge, regardless of his scant visits to the office in a week.
Chu Xiuhuang nodded in approval, “I’m going to nap now. Bring me the medicine and don’t let anyone disturb me.”
“Okay.”
Shi Huan turned around and left, closing the door behind her.
When she returned to the secretary’s office, her assistant Xiaoliu immediately approached, “What did Young Master Chu say, Sister Shi?”
“Proceed as planned. Send the proposal to Bingo so they can forward all subsequent operational details. I’ll go over it with Young Master Chu before four in the afternoon. Xiaozhou, press for progress on the meeting venue. Xiaowu, have you booked the room for dinner with the Bureau of Industry and Commerce leader tonight?”
“Yes, it’s booked.”
At this point, Shi Huan had looked through the medicine box. She picked up her coat and said, “I’ll be right back.”.
“Sister Shi, it’s quite windy outside today. Are you going out?” One of the other assistants, Xiaozhou, asked.
“Young Master Chu has a cold, and we’ve run out of medicine. I’m going to buy some.”
“Why don’t you order delivery and have the medicine sent to our door? Or I could go and buy it for you?”
Shi Huan smiled slightly, “Unfortunately, Young Master Chu doesn’t take medicine bought by others.”
Everyone:
After Shi Huan hurriedly left, Xiaoliu said, “Young Master Chu is too demanding on Secretary Shi, don’t you think?”
“Absolutely, he requires her to do everything herself.”
“I once ordered lunch for Young Master Chu when Secretary Shi was in a meeting. After just one bite, he discarded the food and scolded both me and Secretary Shi.”
“The same happened to me. I made coffee for Young Master Chu according to Secretary Shi’s method and instructions, yet he poured it out without taking a sip!”
“And me too. Once Secretary Shi got a fever, I kindly offered to drive Young Master Chu home in place of her, but he told me to get out of the car, and drove home by himself!”
“Isn’t it strange that Young Master Chu always knew when things weren’t prepared by Secretary Shi?”
Xiaoliu frowned, and felt there was more to it. “Young Master Chu must have a special ability! I’ve heard that all powerful CEOs have some kind of superpower. Maybe our Young Master Chu is a genius, he’s really something else…”
Everyone rolled their eyes at him.

Shi Huan went to her regular pharmacy.
After she finished buying the medicine and was about to leave, she had a thought and went back in.
On returning to the office, she took off her coat, walked into the CEO’s office with bag in hand.
The office was quiet. The bedroom door was slightly ajar, surely that man was taking a rest.
Shi Huan picked up Chu Xiuhuang’s exclusive water cup, and was bending over to fetch hot water when a menacing male voice came from behind her, “What are you doing?”
“Hiss!”
Shi Huan got a huge fright and scalding hot water spilled onto her hand.
The pain was so intense that she almost dropped the water cup.
Even though she has been Chu Xiuhuang’s secretary for several years now, he could still so easily startle her sometimes.
Shi Huan quickly changed hands to hold the cup and walked over.
Chu Xiuhuang was standing behind his desk.
Tall and lanky, thin yet muscular.
His black shirt hung loosely on his body, only two or three buttons were buttoned, showing a large area of his sexy, well-toned chest.
Holding a white medicine bottle between his beautiful fingers, he read word by word, “Escitalopram Tablets, Sleep Medicine?”
Before Shi Huan could respond, his gaze grew cold, “Do you think I need this stuff to fall asleep?”
“Young Master Chu, you’ve misunderstood.” Shi Huan put down the water cup, “The cold medicine you need is packed below, this is mine.”
So saying, she took the medicine bottle back.
Chu Xiuhuang huffed, “Yours?”
“Yes.”
“What are you using it for? Can’t you sleep at night?” After Chu Xiuhuang asked, the corner of his mouth curled into a wicked, flirty smile.
He looked at the woman who reached only up to his chest, dressed in a black suit and sporting black-framed glasses, conservative and prim like a virgin, “Little Huanhuan, I suddenly remembered, you’re almost twenty-five this year, aren’t you? Have you started thinking about men? Do you fantasize about men at night to the point that you can’t fall asleep?”
Shi Huan just looked at him.
Behind her thick glasses, her eyes were clear and bright, yet very calm, “Young Master Chu, I’ve been busy with company affairs lately and clients have been disturbing me with endless calls once I get home. My sleep quality is quite poor. If Young Master Chu could contribute a little more to the company, it would save me some energy as well and ensure I get a good night’s sleep.”
The smile on Chu Xiuhuang’s face gradually disappeared.
Before he could react, Shi Huan continued to speak, “Tonight, your grandfather has arranged a date for you with the young lady from the Lu Family at the Four Seasons Mansion. The time is set for seven o’clock. Please don’t be late again, Young Master Chu, otherwise, your grandfather will call to nag again. Dealing with him is very time, energy, and physically consuming, and it also affects my work, thereby affecting the company’s performance.”
After saying that, she turned around, pulled open the door, and left.
Chu Xiuhuang stood there, stunned for a few seconds, then.
“Damn, now even my secretary is pressuring me into marriage?”
Feeling grumpy, he no longer wanted to take his nap. He picked up his phone, “Xiaosi, let’s go drink at the upscale club.”

Shi Huan went to the pantry and opened the faucet.
Cool water washed over her scalded left hand, gradually easing the burning sensation.
Unfortunately, the relief didn’t last long.
“Sister Shi, Sister Shi….”
