Chapter 45 First Release on Jinjiang Literature City
That night, Bai Li curled up in Xie Chen’s arms, his paws resting on Xie Chen’s abs, sleeping while purring loudly.
A cat’s purring doesn’t always happen; it only occurs when they occasionally fall into a deep sleep.
Xie Chen let the little kitten cling tightly to him, closed his eyes, and didn’t even have any nightmares.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Bai Li stretched his chubby little body, eyes barely opening, softly meowing.
Under the regular rhythm of his biological clock, Xie Chen woke up earlier than usual.
“Li Li.”
He lowered his head, forehead pressed against the kitten’s forehead, his early morning voice a bit low and hoarse: “How about getting up?”
Bai Li drowsily half-opened his eyes and instinctively rubbed against Xie Chen.
“Meow.”
Yes, I want to get up.
Bai Li hadn’t gone to work for a few days but was still thinking about having to go today.
He was very sleepy; even though he said he wanted to get up, he kept kicking his paws, just couldn’t get up.
Xie Chen found it amusing and all his own sleepiness completely disappeared watching this.
“Good boy, hold my hand.”
Xie Chen held out his hand.
The kitten who was kicking its paws quickly grabbed the hand swinging in front of him and naturally sat up.
Xie Chen’s voice was widely recognized as pleasant, especially early in the morning when waking up, sounding even more attractive.
Bai Li didn’t understand what “sexy” meant; he just rubbed his ears, feeling a small electric tingling inside, making them feel pleasantly numb.
“Sir, good morning.”
The snowy white little kitten shook his head, and after waking up, obediently greeted Xie Chen.
Xie Chen patted his head, threw off the blanket to get up, and went to the wardrobe to find clothes to change into.
Before going to bed, Xie Chen had worn a neat robe, but while sleeping, the kitten’s paws had scratched it apart.
Bai Li’s eyes followed Xie Chen as he moved.From the abs to the mermaid line...
The little kitten started to envy them early in the morning.
After quite a while, the person and the cat finished washing up, and Bai Li was carried out by Xie Chen.
Breakfast was as usual cat food made by Xie Bo, but the dried fish snacks were personally fried by Xie Chen.
“Carry this with you, take it out to eat when you’re hungry.”
Xie Chen dried the fried fish to a crisp, packed it into a clean small cloth bag, and tied the bag around Bai Li’s neck.
Bai Li was already very used to carrying the snack bag.
He took food with him, and also took the younger cats who were going to work, refusing to let Xie Chen send them; he led the big group of cats as they set off for the seafood shop.
“Yo, you’re here.”
The seafood shop owner saw Bai Li leading the little cats and smiled: “Li Li, do these cats know how to deliver the goods?”
“Meow, meowow.”
They do know. They’re all cats familiar with every route.
Especially Mei Mei, who even took this group of working cats delivering seafood on a pre-run to familiarize them with the routes.
The seafood shop owner trusted Bai Li a lot; he smiled and arranged orders for all the cats Bai Li brought.
“Your wages during the probation period are three thousand a month. If you do well, there are bonuses, and tips from customers belong to you.”
One has to say, the owner was quite generous to these cats.
Three thousand yuan was enough to buy very good cat food and rent a small place.
Naturally, the cats did not refuse.
Before long,
The cats lined up, all carrying seafood like fish, shrimp, and crabs on their backs.
Bai Li stood at the front, cheering them on: “Meow! Meow meow meow!!!”
For cat food, for a warm home, for a new life, everyone charge!
“Meowow.”
Encouraged, the cats responded with meows, then each dashed out of the store full of energy to start their deliveries.
The seafood shop owner watched the lively cats and felt in a great mood.
Bai Li worked seriously; he was the most experienced at deliveries and this time even ran an order to Zhou Zhi’s place.
“Li Li.”
Zhou Zhi took the fish she ordered, smiling as she picked up Bai Li.“I choreographed a new dance, do you want to watch?”
“Meow meow.”
I want to watch.
Bai Li really liked the dances Zhou Zhi performed. As a top dancer, her dance was undoubtedly a feast of beauty.
In the bright and clean dance studio, as the music flowed, Zhou Zhi danced gracefully. Her slender and beautiful figure made Bai Li the cat completely captivated.
“So beautiful.”
When the dance ended, Bai Li seriously gave his thoughts: “I feel like I saw the great grassland.”
The grassland full of vibrant life.
Just by watching one dance, Bai Li could feel the freedom and the sunny atmosphere of that scene.
Zhou Zhi’s forehead was sweating, but her eyes shone with sparkling light: “Li Li, the theme of this dance really is the grassland.”
“I’m going to hold a dance party.”
“You definitely have to come.”
Bai Li nodded and seriously remembered the promise: “I will come to watch.”
Zhou Zhi smiled at this little kitten; now that she was making her comeback, the one she most wanted to invite was this little guy.
Bai Li stayed in the dance studio for a long time.
Zhou Zhi broke down her dance moves and taught them all to Bai Li, turning it into a brand-new cat dance.
“The dance party is in one week.”
Zhou Zhi squeezed Bai Li’s paw, reminding him: “Don’t forget, okay?”
“Mm!”
Bai Li meowed: “I won’t forget.”
Zhou Zhi gave him two tickets so he could bring someone along.
Being alone as a cat, Zhou Zhi also worried there was no one to take care of him.
After leaving Zhou Zhi’s manor, Bai Li went to run the next delivery.
He was running deliveries energetically with a “tap tap tap” sound, while on the other side, Bai Liu, who had stayed up most of the night, was at Lin Chao’s house.
Lin Chao was holding Diao Ling in his arms. Seeing Bai Liu come over, he sent Diao Ling to sit aside.
“Xiao Liu, why did you come?”
“Brother Lin.”Bai Liu was young, so when he interacted with Lin Chao, he occasionally called him "brother."
During Lin Chao’s concerned questioning, Bai Liu asked him, “Do you have influence in the entertainment industry?”
Lin Chao raised an eyebrow and humbly said, “A little bit. Why?”
“I just want to understand something.”
Bai Liu lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling, and his white-dyed curls made him look even more delicate.
“I have a brother named Tan Yi, my biological older brother. I heard he’s recently having some trouble.”
Originally a bit interested in Tan Yi and planning to just watch the drama unfold, Lin Chao cleared his throat.
“What a coincidence.”
“Brother Lin, I know you’re very capable. Could you tell me a bit more? What exactly is going on with my brother now? Will he have trouble ahead?”
Lin Chao looked at this genius youth he valued most, his mind spinning with thoughts.
Bai Liu was very important—not only to himself but also to the Lin family.
The talent this little genius showed, and the visible future ahead of him…
Lin Chao knew clearly that countless people wanted to poach Bai Liu.
But Bai Liu was a good kid who chose only their Lin family.
Right now, Bai Liu’s older brother was in trouble.
Lin Chao was weighing pros and cons, while Bai Liu, gentle as always, continued to say:
“Brother Lin, if it’s too much trouble for you, then forget it.”
“Forget it?” Lin Chao was momentarily stunned. “You don’t want to ask about your brother’s situation?”
“I do want to ask,” Bai Liu said innocently, “I just remembered there are a few people on WeChat who always talk to me. They post entertainment industry news in their Moments.”
“I hadn’t paid attention to them before, but now I can ask them.”
As Bai Liu spoke, he even listed their names one by one.
Every time he mentioned a name, Lin Chao’s heart tightened more and more until finally, he could barely keep the smile on his face.
“Xiao Liu.”
Lin Chao calmly sat up straight and steadied this little genius he thought knew nothing: “You don’t need to ask those people.”
“I will handle Tan Yi’s matter.”
Lin Chao said intimately to him, “Don’t worry. As long as our Lin family stands, no one will dare touch Tan Yi.”
Hearing this, Bai Liu sincerely thanked Lin Chao.
Lin Chao smiled and handed him a small item recently purchased from abroad.“By the way, you can take this and play with it. I saw it outside and thought it looked pretty good.”
Bai Liu refused several times, but finally “couldn’t refuse,” reluctantly accepting the gift.
As soon as he left, Diao Ling couldn’t help but ask Lin Chao, “President Lin, why are you so good to him? You’re his boss, there’s no need to even care about his brother—”
“Shut up.”
Lin Chao coldly snapped, “What do you know?”
Bai Liu’s value is incalculable. The few people Bai Liu mentioned who always talk to him are all powerful figures; they are all trying every possible way to poach Bai Liu.
If this time with Tan Yi’s matter, the Lin family doesn’t help solve it, then someone else will handle it for Bai Liu…
No need to ask, Bai Liu will most likely owe them a favor.
This kind of thing, Lin Chao absolutely will not allow to happen.
Diao Ling bit her lip, looking at Lin Chao’s cold face. Sure enough, with a man like this, any warmth is unreliable.
That day.
The Lin family publicly declared they would protect Tan Yi.
And from the surface, Xie Chen’s actions on Weibo also protected Tan Yi.
Even if there were people with malicious intentions trying to cause trouble, with both Lin and Xie protecting Tan Yi, at this moment no one dared to make any moves.
In the Xie Group office.
After hearing about the Lin family’s move, Xie Chen raised an eyebrow: “With the Lin family stepping in, Anna, the things I ordered, you don’t need to do anymore.”
“Okay.”
Anna responded and handed over the new financial reports.
It was currently autumn, and as winter approached and year-end came, company matters grew busier.
Bai Li quickly finished his ten deliveries every day. After finishing, he still couldn’t see Mr. Xie at home. After waiting several times, Bai Li stopped waiting.
Right after work, he went straight to Xie Chen’s company!
The security guard at the company gate smiled involuntarily when he saw Bai Li.
“Li Li’s here again.”
The snowy white little kitten, wearing a cloth bag, ran with his plump little body like a ball. The guard found it amusing just watching him.
Bai Li suddenly braked and stopped.
“Meow.”
He politely greeted the guard with meows, clearly a well-mannered little cat.The security guard pointed to the main door: “Go in, Mr. Xie hasn’t finished work yet.”
Bai Li of course knew Mr. Xie hadn’t finished work.
He had just called Mr. Xie in advance!
This time he came because Mr. Xie said he would take him to see the world.
Bai Li knew he was a country bumpkin cat who had never seen the world when he came out of the mountains.
During all this time outside, besides working, he hadn’t seen or experienced anything else.
Bai Li walked confidently to the elevator reserved for Xie Chen. People passing by all recognized this cat and were about to help press the elevator button, but Bai Li had already jumped up.
“Pop—”
At the moment he jumped, Bai Li stretched out his paw and pressed the elevator button hard.
The elevator opened, and the round little kitten walked inside.
The employee who wanted to help: “...”
This move stunned him.
An independent little kitten who didn’t need anyone’s help successfully reached the office door.
Hearing voices inside the office, Bai Li lifted his head to look at the door handle.
A few seconds later,
The door opened.
Xie Chen, who was talking to his subordinate, paused and looked up at the door.
“Li Li.”
His originally cold expression seemed to warm a bit the moment he saw the little kitten.
“Come here.”
Bai Li meowed once, like a little cannonball, launching himself forward.
“Mr. Xie, I’m off work!”
Bai Li happily climbed onto Xie Chen’s leg and nudged his head close, letting Xie Chen take off his cloth bag.
The snacks in the bag were almost all gone, only a little left. Xie Chen fed it to him casually, but Bai Li shook his head.
“Meow meow.”
Not hungry.
Bai Li’s stomach wasn’t hungry, but he was very thirsty.
He spotted the water cup on the table, patted Xie Chen’s arm, and meowed to ask, “Can I have a drink of water?”Author's note: Bai Xiaoliu: I am very valuable.
