The Rescue Of The Tragic Villain Is In Progress! [PART 2]

A9 C254: Group Chat Battle

Xiao Jin'ang, despite being an intelligent system and not needing rest, occasionally enters a sleep mode to conserve energy. Ever since he took on a humanoid form, he adjusted his internal clock to match that of humans.

At midnight, he ate a peppermint candy. The refreshingly cool taste was overly invigorating, feeling quite peculiar. However, he decided to adhere to a healthy sleep schedule and closed his eyes to sleep.

Although it's not good to eat sweets at night, he's not really human, so he shouldn't get cavities, right?

Lin, the chief editor, often works late to review manuscripts, so the company has a spare rest room. Since it rained last night, he didn't go home and stayed at the office instead. The next morning, he groggily got out of bed and was about to wash his face when he heard a knocking at the door.

"Knock, knock, knock-"

"Coming, coming, who could it be so early in the morning!"

With his messy hair, Editor Lin felt around for his glasses and checked his phone, finding it was only six o'clock. He wondered who would be so crazy to knock so early. But when he reached the door wearing slippers, he found it was his new employee from yesterday.

Xiao Jin'ang was still dressed in a black and white sports outfit, with a coat on the outside. With his hands in his pockets, he stood at the door exuding a youthful and handsome vibe. When he smiled, there was a small dimple on the side of his face, clean and bright.

"Boss, good morning~"

He waved and greeted with a smile, resembling a beckoning cat.

Lin was momentarily stunned, still groggy from waking up. He stumbled over his words before remembering Xiao Jin'ang's name. "Xiao... Xiao Jin'ang, right? Why are you here so early?"

Confused, Xiao Jin'ang blinked, "To work."

What else would he be here for, sightseeing?

Editor Lin was momentarily choked by his matter-of-fact tone, thinking it's unbelievable to have such a diligent employee in this day and age.

As a person who was woken up early in the morning, Lin thought Xiao Jin'ang was crazy.

But as a company boss, he felt that Xiao Jin'ang was an exemplary model among employees, a rare diamond to find nowadays. He couldn't dampen his youthful enthusiasm!

Lin patted Xiao Jin'ang on the shoulder, giving him a thumbs up. "Well done, the company needs proactive talents like you. Work hard, and I'll consider giving you a raise!"

He promised a raise as breakfast, and then turned to wash up.

Though Xiao Jin'ang didn't quite understand what Editor Lin meant, he clearly heard the words "raise." Sitting in front of the computer, he felt extremely happy, practically radiating joy. He took out his phone to open the group chat, preparing to subtly yet modestly "show off." But then he found the group chat was exploding.

Indeed, it was exploding.

Of course, no one was fighting; it was just Shen Liang, who suddenly went crazy early in the morning, relentlessly tagging Xiao Jin'ang in the group, followed by a series of messages and emojis, pushing the message count to over 99+.

Shen Liang: 【Damn! Xiao Jin'ang! I finally finished reading that novel!!】

Shen Liang: 【As your beloved... oh no, as your once-bound host, I sincerely give you a piece of advice, run!!】

Shen Liang: 【Run away with a bucket.jpg 】

Shen Liang: 【You can't handle this kind of villain! Trust me, run!】
