Chapter 366 – I can't let the boss go bald! (1)
Huo Sishen had intended for Huo ChuChu to have a month off.
Evidently, though, this girl seemed to have given up on that idea and had been studying hard inside her big brother's office building every day.
"I have dug out my textbooks recently!"
Huo ChuChu had a degree in business management.
From a prominent college overseas at that.
Nevertheless, she was too busy antagonizing with her family that she never paid good attention at school. It was entirely luck that she even passed her examinations.
"I am reviewing them from the very beginning."
Her revolutionary determination allowed her to derive happiness from her own daily improvement.
In addition, someone cared about her, assigned her individual assignments, and pointed out her mistakes to her.
That was a new experience for her.

The Huo family had more than enough resources to hire her tutors. Nevertheless, she was rebellious back then and, after pulling a few stunts on her tutors, Mother Huo gave up.
There was only one reason behind all of Huo ChuChu's behaviors – she wanted attention and she wanted her big brother to return home.
Unfortunately, her wish had never come true and she ended up having less and less attention.
Recently, she had been beaming.
She would go on and on and tell Gu Shishi the details of every little incident.
Gu Shishi chuckled as she replied to her. "You have mentioned Executive Assistant Meng at least 100 times within the last five minutes. Even I want to meet this legendary little fresh meat now."
"No, I didn't!"
Huo ChuChu's breathing hastened.
"He just teaches me a lot is all."
Mmm.
All she had been saying was, "Executive Assistant Meng said...", "Executive Assistant Meng also said...", "And then Executive Assistant Meng said..."
Gu Shishi decided to stop teasing her. Her other cellphone, the Ink Painting Guru one was blowing up with WeChat messages.
"I am going to lunch with your brother this weekend."
"Let me send you the address."
Huo ChuChu shrieked on the other side of the screen immediately. "YES!"
Gu Shishi finally picked up her other phone with a smile on her.
[You have been added to "Ink Painting Association" group.]
Gu Shishi was taken aback a little.
taken aback a little.
[Huang Chuan: Welcome @Ink Painting Guru]
[Huang Chuan sent a red pocket: Good luck and wealth for all.]
[Zheng Xing: Welcome, thank you, Boss, for the red pocket!]

[Juntian: Thank you, Wealthy Man of China.JPG]
[Grandpa Di: Thank you, President. Welcome to our newest member!]
[Taishan: That's one big red pocket. Welcome to our newest member!]
[Huang Chuan: @Ink Painting Guru. This is a group for all ink painting enthusiasts with improving each other through knowledge exchange as our main purpose. We are a group of pro-active individuals who share our love for ink painting.]
[Huang Chuan: A soloist can walk fast, but a group can walk a farther distant. We sincerely invite you to join us and build a welcome home with us and encourage more to join us. Through that, you will no longer be alone or weak in your path of creation. We are a group that can help each other and, together, we can go further and be better.]
[Zheng Xing: Victory!]
[Juntian: Our president likes to drone on and on. You will get used to that!]
[Taishan: @Ink Painting Guru. What our president is trying to say is for you to send a red pocket so we can all improve together (grin)]
[Grandpa Di: I almost thought I have joined a propaganda group. @Ink Painting Guru, how are you doing, new member?]
[Huang Chuan: @juntian @taishan @Grandpa Di, you three must turn in two homework assignment for our exhibition next week.]
[Juntian: Are you trying to kill me??]
[Taishan: Are you trying to kill me??]
[Grandpa Di: Are you trying to kill me + 1!]
Gu Shishi, "... ... ... ..."
What was going on?
She searched through her head over and over again and finally recalled that the day she joined the exhibition at Grandma Chen's place, there was someone who seemed to be the president of some sort of exchange group and had invited her to join.
She had only chatted with Huo ChuChu for a little while and this "association group" already had 99+ unread messages.
The boss had given Gu Shishi a new bad habit — whenever she saw a red pocket, she couldn't help but to click on it.
And, as soon as she clicked on it, she was stuck.
She couldn't possibly back out of there immediately.
Chapter 367 – I can't let the boss go bald! (2)
[Ink Painting Guru: Thank you, Boss.JPG]
Gu Shishi was very familiar with how to work this.
When she opened up the member list of the group, her look became very complicated.
Almost all of them were grandpas.
And a group of grandpas with high status and background no less – masters in the areas of traditional painting and calligraphy, etc.
All she needed to do is to randomly click open any of their friend's circle and she could see their daily work.
She didn't even need to see their work in person to be able to tell how incredible they were.
These individuals were arguably the pioneers and experts in the field of ink painting.
Then, looking closer at their chat, they were all but a group of old kids.
[Huang Chuan: @Ink Painting Guru, we will be meeting next Saturday for an exchange. Each of us will being one to two pieces of work with us to share at the meeting. There will also be an internal evaluation. No need to stress over it. The key point is to learn from each other.]

[Juntian: We call it a "friendly competitor" when we are all sort of nasty in reality.]
[Taishan: Last chance to place your bet. I am betting on our vice president as the winner of this quarter.]
[Juntian: @Taishan. If you wager your Huangshan ink stone, I will throw in my limited-edition purple-striped goat-hair brush.]
[Grandpa Di: The president had been busy as of late and didn't have a lot of time to practice. He is not at his best right now so I am going to wager on myself. I am wagering my previous Huangqu paper weight.]
Gu Shishi rubbed her nose.
They all sounded very shrewd.
Huang Chuan immediately provided her with the time and location three times and cleared the screen.
[Huang Chuan: @Ink Painting Guru. We shall we waiting for your arrival. Don't feel bad if you can't make it. We get together from time to time. There will always be a next time.]
Gu Shishi checked her calendar and, at least for now, she was free that day.
It was a rare opportunity to be able to socialize with the ink painting masters here too.
Besides, this group of members of her grandfather's age gave her a very familiar feel. They reminded her of her mean-tongued and fun-loving master.
[Ink Painting Guru: Yes, thank you, President Huang. I will try my best to be there.]
She thought about it a little and sent a red pocket to the group.
There were a total of 33 members in the group and not very many of them were talking in the meantime.
She only sent 20 red pockets, 200 yuan.
And they were all gone within a second!
Gu Shishi was taken aback a little.
Images of a bunch of grandfathers with white goatie and white hair, even with their bifocal lens racing and slamming their fingers over the phone, fighting over the red pockets appeared in her mind.
Most importantly – so many of them were just lurking!
Lurkers came in all ages!
[Thank you, Boss.JPG]
[Looking like I just received 1 million yuan.JPG]

[The newcomer is kind of cute.JPG]
[*Cup fists* *Cup fists*]
***
The number of people posted went up drastically all of a sudden.
Gu Shishi found that almost entertaining.
The idea of bringing a piece of her work with her make her somewhat nervous.
She had very little work with her because she needed to fulfill her assignments before.
If she was to join them next week, she will need to start on someone new right now.
The quality couldn't be too poor. She didn't want to give the first impression of just being flashy.
As she was pondering, her action of flipping through the action slowed.
What should she draw then?
Lately her mind had been filled with the ocean view, sun, beach, and sea turtles at Maldives.... Of course there was also her cool and domineering man who was exploding with pheromone.
Had she really drawn such salacious painting to show a group of grandpas, she worried that they would just boot her out!
"What are you thinking about?"
She heard the door opened up behind her when she wasn't paying attention.
Ever since she said she would rather change her surname rather than getting a divorce, the man had stopped knocking on the door before he walked inside.
Chapter 368 – I can't let the boss go bald! (3)
Gu Shishi placed her hand over her forehead and said, "I am thinking to myself, 'My husband is so good looking. What could I do?' You are like a nuclear weapon against creativity. Every time I close my eyes, I just can't see anything or anyone else."
All the good sceneries in the world, all the nice things in the world, all the blooms in the world.
And there was only one that she cared about.
Only one that she wanted...
For a creator, that was too narrow and limited.
Gu Shishi could feel herself going bald!
"... ..."
The unexpected sweet words.
Just walking into the room, even the handsome and strong Huo Sishen stopped in mid-step.
The indifferent and cold gaze turned red hot at light speed.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Siyi, who was waiting outside of the room, quickly lowered his eyes and stared intensely at the floor beneath his feet.
There they went again!
Torturing the poor dawg again!
He was distressed. He was not prepared. All the boss said was to come by the art studio to talk about matters regarding the manager candidates. And then, and then, sugar was released so abruptly!
He never knew before that Miss Gu had a ways with her words!
As he was thinking, he secretly pulled out his cellphone.
All single people are single for a reason!
If only he could be half as articulate as Miss Gu, he wouldn't have to worry about not getting a girlfriend!
Take notes!
He must take notes!
And not share them with Sier!
As he was jotting them down quietly, Gu Shishi, who was still inside the room, recollected herself.
Her face blushed right away as she looked over at Daddy Huo who had just opened the door and walked inside.
"Aren't you going in to work today?"
She had let her guards down!
So much that the truth had slipped out so early in the morning!
"Mmhmm."
Huo Sishen's black eyes were very profound.
"I still have a few days of vacation left."
Siyi, standing outside of the door, was stunned!
He was roaring inside.
Whatever happened to returning to work today? What about the meeting at 1 PM?? And the three documents that needed his signature??!!
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
The boss, had changed even more... ...
And this was how the emperor stopped tending to the matters of his people!
"Oh, okay~"
Gu Shishi gritted her teeth and pretended that those words from earlier did not come from her.
She could not possibly be the one who had uttered such words.
"I am glad you are taking some time off. Too much overtime can cause a lot of stress to your body."
Nevertheless, she could see the lines of his muscles under his shirt when she looked up at him.
And that reminded her of the taut mermaid lines that she had felt in the middle of the night.
ARRROOooooo!
No, no, no. This can't happen!
She is turning into a hooligan!
Cries!
She barely said a few words and had made herself turn beet red once again.
She had been blushing more and more often lately.
Was she still not used to him being in close proximity to her?
His eyes narrowed, Huo Sishen lifted up his hand and brushed a stray hair back to behind her ear.
He stopped teasing her when he caught sight of the man outside out of the corner of his eye.
"Let's have Siyi tell you about the manager candidates for the art studio.
"You can meet them in person and pick the one that you are compatible with."
His voice was calm and monotonous.
Siyi, standing outside, was frantic.
Since when was being compatible with the Boss Lady the only requirement for an upper management being paid a 600,000-yuan annual salary.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Did the boss still have any bottom line?
He still couldn't help but to think that even though the boss has already had a first round of interview and all of the candidates were highly qualified, experienced individuals!
"Bring them in."
Siyi walked inside quickly, not daring to even glance sideways.
He handed over the stack of resumes in his hand.
When Gu Shishi took the stack of resumes from Siyi, what crossed her mind all of a sudden was fresh meat Executive Assistant Meng that Huo Chuchu had been going on and on about the last few days...
She flipped through the resumes and was shocked, "They are all bald..."
Huo Sishen stroked her on head. "Yeah, they worked too hard. So sad."
The corner of Siyi's mouth twitched.
Oh, there were elites who were not bald!
But every single applicant that looked remotely decent had been ruled out by the boss. They never even had a chance for an interview. Only the unattractive ones remained!
Gu Shishi, not knowing the truth behind it all, was worried. "Then I should go and make you some black sesame paste in a little while? They are good for your head."
She didn't want the boss to go bald!
Huo Sishen's hands paused in midair.
"... ... okay."
Chapter 369 – Reproduction Assignment #1 (1)
Gu Shishi was one for good looks and it mattered a lot to her. That had to do with her profession and her hobby.
There was nothing she could do about it.
It was her thing for many years. She was an expert at observing pretty things and recording them.
She needed to be moved easily by what was pretty so that her paintings could be filled with emotions.
Huo Sishen had her figured out long time ago.
He had kept that in mind ever since she had said that he was good looking and she wanted to draw him.
As such, there was no way he would place a good-looking man near her.
His long and slender fingers flipped through the stack of resumes while Gu Shishi went to make him his black sesame paste.
He picked up the oldest and safest ones from the stack and placed them on top with no hesitation.
"Here, drink it while it is still warm."
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Huo Sishen frowned a little when he tasted the sweet and sticky black sesame paste.
He didn't like the taste of it.
It was too sweet and too thick.
He continued to drink it without saying anything while listening to Gu Shishi's phone calls with the candidates.
Her voice was clear and sweet and she was very polite on the phone.
She was respectful in her word choice. She demonstrated professional distance and also cautiousness in the first communication with the candidates.
It was far from the soft and sweet way when she talked to him.
Huo Sishen suddenly felt that the black sesame paste wasn't that bad after all.
Gu Shishi had quickly spoken with three of the manager candidates.
"How is it?"
Huo Sishen rubbed the edge of the cup.
"Which one do you like best?"
He looked at her with this cool and calm black eyes.
Gu Shishi had jotted down notes from her calls.
When she heard his question, she tabbed on the first man naturally.
"I wouldn't say like."
She pouted a little.
Huo Sishen nodded and his lips curved up almost unnoticeably.
Mmm.
She didn't like. Excellent.
"The first candidate from the first impression, I guess. He had started his own studio in the past and have relevant experience. He also had experiences in large-scale internet activities. His knowledge is more comprehensive."
She could find nothing wrong with him other than the fact that he was ugly.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Gu Shishi thought that he would work, as long as she avoided looking at the picture.
Huo Sishen's look did not change at all and he took another sip of the black sesame paste.
He lifted his chin at Siyi.
"Go and have the comp discussion with him. Have him start on Monday."
Even his magnetic voice sounded very relaxed.
Siyi acknowledged him right away.
He couldn't help but turned and gave his boss a few more looks before he took off. He had an odd feeling that his boss was in a good mood right now.
Gu Shishi still hadn't figured out what was going on and was just very touched right now.
The boss was so busy normally and always worked till the wee hours of the night and sometimes even stayed up working in the study instead of going to bed.
He only had a few days off for a change but he still worried about her matters instead of taking the time for some much-needed rest.
She had even forgotten about talking to the candidate about salary and start date earlier and he had to step in to help her out!
She wasn't doing a very good job.
Looking at the bald candidate on the resume, she felt that she still had a lot of maturing to do.
She wasn't a little girl like Huo ChuChu, how could have the boss take care of so much for her?
At this rate, even if the boss wouldn't go bald, his skin condition would be poor as would his health. The beer gut was caused by prolonged sitting, stress, and poor eating habit.
No way!
She needed to do her best in maintaining his perfect and prideful appearance as well as a healthy body!
"Would you like to take a nap?"
Gu Shishi got worried all of a sudden.
She had almost forgotten about the boss's danger within the next two years' time as described in the novel.
Now that she had recalled it, she was very anxious.
She blinked her limpid eyes at him and they were filled with pleading.
Chapter 370 – Reproduction Assignment #1 (2)
"Right now?"
A hint of surprise flashed past Huo Sishen's handsome face, still holding the bowl of black sesame paste in his hand.
He turned and looked at the bright and sunny day outside.
Gu Shishi nodded.
Limpid and pitiful.
"Just a little bit."
With her sleep aid halo, she was willing to be the boss's pillow.
"It's fine if you can't fall asleep. I will keep you company~"
Smack—
Huo Sishen's look deepened and he put the bowl down in a second.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Siyi, who had forgotten to ask what Huo Sishen wanted to do about the afternoon meeting, smacked himself on his own head and returned. And then – oh boy, the rough man blushed immediately and made himself scares right away!
Why do people need two weeks off when they get married?
Why do young couples go onto honeymoon?
There are reasons behind all those!
When these newly weds put on a show, everybody else suffers!
Siyi turned around immediately and went to cry to Sier!
Gu Shishi maintained that she was innocent.
Gu Shishi grabbed over a blanket and planned purely to keep him company. Even the system complimented her highly on her amazing work at torturing dawgs!
[Main Mission: Showing off your lovey-doviness complete!]
In her ten times of showing off their lovey-doviness, poor Siyi had witnessed the final one.
[Menstruation pills are now ready to be purchased.]
[Siyi had been successfully converted to your melon-eating crowd.]
[Melon-eating crowd: They will go into withdrawal if they go a day without melon. When the melon was particularly delicious, they would applause for you and they will also summon their friends and family to share the ups and downs of the melon-eating experience with them.]
Gu Shishi, "... ..."
Dex Hospital.
When Gu Wushuang recovered from her full-body anesthesia, she felt so awful that she could pass out again.
She felt nauseated, dizzy, weak, and even the surgical site was hurting some.
She felt even more devastated when she saw the gauze wrapped around her chest.
No matter how much money she spent later on, she might never be able to get rid of the scar.
She wanted to cry just thinking that she had such a flaw on her body.
Nevertheless, she had to have this surgery in order to live, to have a normal body like everybody else!
Life was so unfair!
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
That being said, perhaps these sufferings that she had to endure was a price that she had to pay for being brought to the Gu family?
That idea lessened her pain some.
"Shuangshuang, how are you doing? How are you feeling now?"
Mother Gu was right next to Gu Wushuang when she woke up.
There need to be a family member there for the eight hours after the full-body anesthesia.
Gu Wushuang's eyes reddened.
She looked around and let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Huo Wencheng was there as well.
He didn't care that she looked the way she did right now.
She had it figured out these last few days.
Huo Sishen might be generous, but he was but an empty shell that was just spending money that he couldn't replace. Gu Shishi might be happy right now but her difficult days shall come soon enough. Gu Shishi couldn't measure up to her who would soon be the real Madam Huo.
"Mommy, Brother Cheng..."
A drop of tear rolled down Gu Wushuang's cheek.
As long she could keep Huo Wencheng faithful to her, Gu Shishi would find out sooner or later that, no matter what, a sparrow would never measure up to a phoenix!
"Mommy, my surgery... was it successful?
"Don't hold Sister Shishi accountable. Even if my surgery had failed, it is not her fault," Gu Wushuang's lips trembled as she talked.
She had, however, already noticed that she was no longer inside of ICU when she openedup her eyes.
The surgery was most likely successful.
She was only saying that so Mother Gu would dislike Gu Shishi even more!
Sure enough, a hint of embarrassment and anger flashed past Mother Gu's eyes.
"Don't bring her up."
She wasn't able to convince Gu Shishi to get a divorce after all.
She had returned to the mansion area in the suburb the day after she had finalized her divorce. Lo and behold, Young Master Huo's butler wouldn't even let her in!
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
And he was so rude to her as well! She had never been treated that way her entire life!
