The Plan to Save the Villainess Supporting Actress [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 33

Chasing a Girlfriend for My Wife – Day 2

Unaware of the strange, competitive streak she had ignited in Xi Zhenyi, Nan Zhi was blissfully enjoying a facial massage.

Essential oils infused with a faint scent of rose were applied delicately to her face, nourishing and hydrating the skin that had felt neglected for so long. The aesthetician moved with gentle yet precise pressure, her rhythmic circular motions perfectly synchronized with the soothing background music, allowing Nan Zhi to relax completely.

Deep within her mind, “Little Nan Zhi,” the manifestation of her consciousness, was flipping through the original novel.

According to the plot, on the third day after the original body’s passing, Xi Zhenyi was supposed to encounter the “Little White Flower” protagonist, Jiang Niannian, at the cemetery park. It was love at first sight for Xi Zhenyi, who immediately handed her business card to the job-seeking Jiang Niannian right then and there.

Initially, Jiang Niannian thought Xi Zhenyi was a kind and beautiful older sister. Grateful for the opportunity, she reported to the company for work. However, that very night, under the pretext of driving her home, Xi Zhenyi took her to a private villa with ill intentions.

Seeing this, Nan Zhi could not help but click her tongue in disapproval.

Wow. Your ex-wife just passed away, and you are already handing out business cards to other women at her grave! And playing such wild games! What a total scumbag!

The aesthetician softly informed her that they were transitioning from the massage to the steam treatment. Nan Zhi nodded. Moments later, a gentle, dense mist enveloped her face.

Exquisite!

Being the CEO’s woman was not without its perks after all.

Little Nan Zhi closed the book and began pondering how to make Jiang Niannian fall for Xi Zhenyi. It seemed nearly impossible. Honestly, rather than going through the trouble of turning a straight woman gay, it felt easier to just have Xi Zhenyi become a celibate nun.

After mulling it over in a daze, Nan Zhi eventually succumbed to the relaxing atmosphere and fell back into a deep sleep.

Outside the private booth, Secretary No. 1, who had rushed over, typed into a chat box: “Reporting to CEO Xi, the Madam arrived at the company’s beauty salon at 12:00. She is currently undergoing skincare treatment. The Madam seems very relaxed and has fallen asleep.”

In the middle of a meeting, Xi Zhenyi’s phone vibrated.

Under the shocked gazes of everyone in the room, their decisive and uncompromising CEO actually raised her hand, swiped across the screen, frowned slightly upon reading the message, and then, of all things, replied!

The director gasped. Was she replying to God Himself?

Everyone knew that CEO Xi detested wasting time, especially during high-stakes meetings. No one was allowed to check phones, take calls, or send texts. Xi Zhenyi always led by example; for years, even when the Chairman’s frantic calls nearly reduced the secretarial office to tears, she had never once made an exception.

But today, she actually replied to a text!

The director could not help but glance out the window. Did the sun even rise from the east today?

On the other side, Secretary No. 1 opened her screen and also let out a sharp breath.

“Is it necessary for me to know her mood?”

No. 1 wept silently in her heart: I am doomed. I totally misread the CEO’s mind.

After struggling with her thoughts for half an hour, the aesthetician knocked softly on her door: “The Madam is leaving.”

No. 1 did not dare think of anything else. She quickly packed up and followed Nan Zhi downstairs.

The massive commercial complex where the salon was located was divided into three buildings. Zone A focused on cosmetics and skincare, Zone B on fashion and luxury bags, and Zone C on electronics and technology.

The Madam first wandered around, sweeping up a mountain of skincare products and having them sent to the villa. Then, she headed toward Zone B. After crossing the high-altitude skybridge, she entered the VVIP lounge.

Before long, Sales Associates (SAs) from several luxury brands began filing into the lounge. Since No. 1 often shopped in Zone B on behalf of Xi Zhenyi, the lounge manager was startled to see her.

“Does CEO Xi have any instructions?”

“No, just make sure you serve the Madam well,” No. 1 shook her head. “Keep a record of the Madam’s actions and let me know when she comes out.”

The manager was stunned: “That is the Madam?”

Why did she seem so different from the rumors?

The lounge door opened from the inside, and an SA poked her head out to ask the manager for advice. No. 1 quickly waved her off, signaling her to go back in and ignore her presence.

As CEO Xi’s secretary, No. 1 was even more shocked by today’s orders than the manager. The villa and the Madam had always been taboo topics for CEO Xi. Or rather, it was not that they were forbidden, but that the CEO simply did not care enough to mention them. Over time, strange rumors about the Madam had spread. CEO Xi never cared; as long as her subordinates worked hard, she did not mind what they said. It was as if she was completely indifferent to how people perceived her wife.

Regarding the household bills at the villa, CEO Xi usually visited personally once every three months. Any other time the Madam contacted them, No. 1 went in her stead.

But today, after her usual visit to the villa, CEO Xi had actually called her! Not only did she want to cut off the Madam’s allowance, but she also ordered her to tail the Madam! What on earth was going on?

“You, what is your name?”

A soft, sweet voice rang out, the tone slightly melodic with a hint of a coquettish charm. No. 1 looked up and jumped in surprise.

“Ma, Madam.”

The woman standing before her was indeed Nan Zhi! Only she looked different.

She was wearing a perfectly tailored, light green silk shirt that made her skin look pale and luminous. Below was a New Chinese Style horse-face skirt in dark red with intricate gold embroidery, accentuating her slender waist. Her jet-black hair was pinned back with a white jade hairpin, with a few stray strands falling playfully around her face.

No. 1 stared at this elegant, radiant beauty in disbelief. Was this the same lifeless, gloomy Madam?

“Hey, I am asking you. What is your name?”

No. 1 snapped back to reality, her cheeks flushing involuntarily. “I, Ma, Madam can just call me No. 1. I am the first employee of the Secretarial Office.”

The beauty’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, clearly dissatisfied with the answer. Sure enough, Nan Zhi let out a soft huff. “Is that how Xi Zhenyi addresses you all? How rude!”

No. 1 felt her heart nearly stop. Madam! You cannot say things like that in front of me! If the CEO asks, do I tell her or not?

“Tell me your name. I do not like calling people by numbers. Also, do not call me Madam. Just call me Miss Nan.”

No. 1 hesitated for a long time before whispering, “Miss, Miss Nan. My name is He Yi.”

Nan Zhi nodded and repeated the name in her soft, honeyed voice. For some reason, hearing her name spoken by Miss Nan made He Yi blush furiously.

He Yi thought to herself: No wonder CEO Xi is so abnormal today. It is because Miss Nan has changed!

“Secretary He, go back and tell your boss: if she has enough energy to send people to spy on me, she should spend more time on her own business. Otherwise, if she misses out on a big deal, she might end up blaming me for it again.”

Nan Zhi tilted her chin slightly, her exquisite face glowing with a moving brilliance.

Having worked under CEO Xi for years, He Yi could read between the lines. Miss Nan was basically telling CEO Xi to stop bothering her. How could He Yi possibly relay that to the CEO? Normally, she would have just handled it herself and brushed the Madam off. But today, Miss Nan was so different. For some reason, He Yi did not dare to disobey her.

After speaking, Nan Zhi turned back into the lounge to start a new round of shopping.

This was great! Being a CEO’s wife was way too much fun!

On the outside, she remained calm, but inside, she was screaming with joy. Since the money was not earned by her, she felt no pain spending it! As the bills flashed before her eyes, Nan Zhi did not even blink.

“Let us stop here.” Surprisingly, her eyes got tired before her wallet did.

The SAs representing the last few luxury sets could not help but feel regret. If they had known the Madam would be this generous, they would have pushed to be at the front of the line.

However, in the next second, Nan Zhi waved her hand dismissively. “Everything that was brought into this lounge today, I will take it all!”

Oh, so satisfying!

Nan Zhi took a pen and began signing the bills furiously. She thought she should get a custom stamp because signing her name was such a chore.

System: “…”

Money truly corrupts. In just half a day, this woman has fallen this far!

Amidst a barrage of mental silence from the system, Nan Zhi marched gallantly toward her next battlefield. Please, as a CEO’s woman, she needed much more face than this!

Changxi Group, CEO’s Office

Before No. 1’s report could arrive, the consumption bills from various malls reached Xi Zhenyi first. Xi Zhenyi frowned, swiping her finger across the screen four or five times without reaching the end.

Is this woman revenge-shopping?

She knew that Nan Zhi used to deposit every cent Xi Zhenyi sent her into membership accounts at the company’s various malls. But she had never spent a single cent. Perhaps she was afraid of making Xi Zhenyi unhappy? Over the years, those accounts had accumulated a massive fortune. Xi Zhenyi had assumed Nan Zhi would never touch that money until the day she died.

Who would have thought she would open such a “Lion’s Mouth” today?

Skincare, makeup, clothes, bags, jewelry, shoes; Xi Zhenyi conceded that these were things a woman should have. But what was the deal with these three sports cars?

The 4S shop had even thoughtfully included Nan Zhi’s specific color notes: Orange-Red, Ink-Purple, and Royal Blue. Is she trying to build a rainbow?

It was not that she could not afford it, but she could not understand it. Nan Zhi had changed too much overnight. It was making her head spin.

A notification sound signaled a text message. Xi Zhenyi closed her eyes for three seconds, then opened them to see a message from a home furnishing manager. Is she planning to tear down the entire house and replace everything?

Unable to bear it any longer, Xi Zhenyi grabbed her phone and called No. 1.

“How much longer is she going to shop?”

He Yi answered weakly on the other end, “Ah? I, I do not know?”

Xi Zhenyi’s eyebrows shot up as she suppressed her rage. “Did I not tell you to follow her?”

“Miss Nan will not let me follow her,” He Yi said, sounding aggrieved.

“If she tells you not to follow, you just stop? Who pays your salary? Who are you supposed to listen to?” Xi Zhenyi’s red lips fired off a string of rebukes. Only at the end did she catch something off. “Miss Nan? She told you to call her that?”

“Yes, CEO Xi.”

Xi Zhenyi bit her lower lip, a strange glint in her eyes. She hung up on No. 1 and tapped the screen, finding the number she had never once dialed.

“Beep. We are sorry, the user you are calling is currently busy. Please…”

Xi Zhenyi: ?

She hung up that fast?

Suspicious, Xi Zhenyi tried again. Once more, it rang once and was immediately disconnected. A thought suddenly occurred to her. She pushed open the door to the secretarial office and pointed at a random girl.

“You. Blacklist my phone number right now.”

No. 3 looked terrified. Xi Zhenyi said impatiently, “Hurry up, do not waste my time!”

Trembling, No. 3 took out her phone with an expression of one going to their execution and blacklisted the CEO’s number. Xi Zhenyi glanced at her name tag and dialed No. 3’s phone.

“Beep. We are sorry, the user you are calling is currently busy. Please…”

Click!

Xi Zhenyi slammed her phone down and laughed out of sheer anger. In the office, secretaries No. 2 through No. 5 lowered their heads, shivering. Everyone knew that once CEO Xi started laughing while angry, she turned into a total demon. No. 3 wanted to cry; her legs felt weak. It was CEO Xi who had told her to block the number.

Another text arrived. Xi Zhenyi tapped it instantly and called the sender back. This time, someone finally picked up. The home appliance manager sounded delighted: “CEO Xi! What are your instructions?”

Xi Zhenyi asked, almost through gritted teeth, “Is Nan Zhi there?”

“Miss Nan? Yes, of course, she has not left yet!”

Another “Miss Nan.”

“Put her on the phone!”

“You got it!” The voice grew distant. “Miss Nan, it is a call from CEO Xi.”

After a long pause, that soft, sweet voice finally drifted lazily through the phone: “What is it?”

Xi Zhenyi was so angry she laughed again. “You have the nerve to ask me? You said you were going out, and going out means buying out the city?”

On the other end, the woman’s voice sounded genuinely surprised and incredulous.

“CEO Xi, is your company going bankrupt?”

Xi Zhenyi: ?

“Or rather,” the smiling tone was intentionally provoking, “could it be that CEO Xi cannot afford to keep me?”

Xi Zhenyi: ???

CEO Xi: I have never been blacklisted in my life. No. 1-5: We are doomed. Are we going to get fired tomorrow for stepping into the office with our left foot first?
