From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!-Chapter 174 - 86: Jealous Robots Are Hard to Deal With
"Hmm, just hired. The robots are breaking down too quickly, and we need a repairman," Su Jiameng said casually. "Originally, I wanted him to stay at the store, but it’s not suitable for living, so I had to let him stay here."
K3 nodded knowingly and asked, "Have you investigated that person? Is he reliable? After all, you and the two kids live here alone, it’s better to be cautious. I think it’s best to limit contact with strangers whose backgrounds we don’t know much about..."
Su Jiameng smiled and said, "I have investigated, and he’s quite reliable. You can rest assured, Boss Qin."
Lucy and the others felt relieved upon hearing this. In their minds, even though Xiao Meng is only sixteen, she is very opinionated about everything. Since she made the decision, the employee must be worth hiring.
K3 and the others quickly moved away from the topic of the employee and didn’t dwell on it. Naturally, they had no idea how extraordinary the background of the new hire was. Meanwhile, Gu Ningxuan received dinner delivered by Su Mo...
It was a large portion, and the dishes were plentiful. Looking at it, Gu Ningxuan suddenly recalled Su Jiameng’s expression when she previously said, "three meals guaranteed until full." His wooden face softened, and he ignored Su Mo’s burning gaze that could pierce through him, "Thank you." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"If it’s not enough, just call me. There’s also a late-night snack, and if it’s for a handsome guy... there’s an extra meal benefit," Su Mo threw a flirtatious wink at him before leaving, leaving Gu Ningxuan feeling both embarrassed and amazed.
Since being kicked out by Xilena, it was the first time Gu Ningxuan had eaten such delicious food, and he was momentarily stunned. Staying in this small room until he finished all the food, he began tidying up and waited for Su Mo to come and collect the plates.
Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to wash the plates and bowls himself, but living downstairs was Su Jiameng, and seeing a strange man running around her home might make her feel uneasy, right? Plus, Gu Ningxuan didn’t like doing that.
To reduce his presence and awkwardness, it’s better for him to stay in his room when he’s free.
After a short wait, the person who came to clean up turned out not to be Su Mo, but Guan Changxi, who was carrying several large packages. He knocked politely before handing the items to Gu Ningxuan, which included two sets of casual clothes tailored to his size for work, as well as men’s toiletries, towels, and toothbrushes.
"These are for you... The master said the cost for these items will be deducted from your salary, so don’t feel too moved..."
Guan Changxi had a sour expression since finding out Gu Ningxuan was hired because he knew Su Mo’s aesthetic and preferences, and naturally understood that she had a thing for Su Jiameng, the ’Three Good Lolita’ master, and was now also eyeing this newly appeared guy...
The only thing that could comfort him was the fact that the cost of purchasing these items would be deducted from Gu Ningxuan’s salary, humorously termed - to prevent him from feeling patronized and to take care of his self-esteem...
So Guan Changxi was extremely petty in picking some expensive items to ensure Gu Ningxuan wouldn’t see more than a few months’ salary!
Gu Ningxuan: "..." As a man, he could sense the strong hostility directed at him by this butler.
After Guan Changxi appreciated Gu Ningxuan’s conflicted face, his mood lifted a bit, and he intended to leave. Gu Ningxuan suddenly called out to him, "Um... can I ask about this training room..."
"This training room was personally arranged by the master, do you have any opinions or suggestions?" He shot a dangerous look as if to say — dare say anything wrong and I’ll slice you to tears in no time!
"No... I just wanted to ask if I could use it in my free time?" Gu Ningxuan asked awkwardly and uneasily. A training room of this scale was beyond his means, even if he spent all his salary.
"Oh, that’s the issue... I’ll ask the master and get back to you soon." Changxi didn’t throw any attitude at him. Having seen Gu Ningxuan’s strength and physical condition, it was unsurprising that he’d want to use the training room.
"Thank you, I appreciate it." Gu Ningxuan was slightly surprised by his own reaction and mindset when he said this. It’s as if... he didn’t view this robot as just a formula-driven machine but more like dealing with a human with consciousness.
After closing the door properly, Gu Ningxuan took out everything from his backpack, his gaze falling on the item he got from the hands of those thugs, the culprit that gave him a sense of crisis. At the time, he didn’t have the leisure to see what it was, and now examining it closely, his expression grew more serious...
Those people... they really intended to kill him! They even used a weapon that was considered a rare piece of equipment in the military against him. After a long while, Gu Ningxuan returned to his usual expression, putting the weapon away.
Just then, his smart brain beeped, indicating an incoming call. Opening the smart device, the virtual screen displayed Yi’s somewhat anxious face, "Ah Xuan, did you see the message I sent you before?"
Gu Ningxuan lowered his eyes and said quietly, "No... Yi, are you contacting me at this time for something?"
Yi let out a sigh of relief and said with a slightly uncomfortable expression, "I heard... she’s getting engaged to your cousin, and the date is set for the end of this year. Your cousin said some not very nice things in class today."
"His mouth has never been clean, and who she gets engaged to is none of my business." Gu Ningxuan said helplessly, "You weren’t worried I’d be interested in that woman and hurt by hearing this news, were you?"
