Cannon Fodder Fake Master Was Stunned After Being Reborn

This was their seventh year of marriage.

People say that one’s marriage would be tested during their seven years being together, but thankfully this didn’t happen to Shen Xingsui and Fu Jinxiao. This pair of husband and wife were both hard workers, but always sweet to each other whenever they had time together. Their relationship was simply the envy of many people. 

When they first got together, many people were skeptical, even unfavorable, thinking that it would be a matter of time before they broke up. But they proved these doomsayers wrong by their strong relationship. 

This included the entirety of the Fu Corporation’s employees. 

All of them, from top to bottom, had seen a lot of their interactions. For example, there was this one time when Shen Xingsui cooked a home-made soup for his husband, and he came in person to deliver it during the lunch break. However, Fu Jinxiao had to work overtime for a meeting at night, and Shen Xingsui had to wait in the lounge for almost five hours before he could meet Fu Jinxiao. While Shen Xingsui did complain in the end, but everyone who saw them could see it was more out of worry than actual annoyance. It was really heartwarming. 

Except for… recently.

Fu Jinxiao only recently discovered that something was wrong with the company’s atmosphere. It was a subtle feeling that was almost imperceptible, but it did exist. 

This morning, Fu Jinxiao sensed the company’s receptionists giving him a subtle look. And that was the last straw that Fu Jinxiao asked his secretary. “Has there been any adjustment to the company’s employee policy recently?”

The secretary was taken aback, and replied professionally. “No.”

“So…” Fu Jinxiao paused and raised his eyebrows, “Does this mean the employees are dissatisfied with the company’s policies?” 

The secretary’s scalp felt numb. He could feel his boss’ scrutinizing gaze, but he trudged through and quickly answered honestly, “No, everyone is very satisfied. Our company’s employee policies can be said to be among the best. We all know that.” 

Fu Jinxiao glanced meaningfully at the receptionists not far away, and opened his lips, “Really? Then why do they keep sending me subtle glances like that?” 

The secretary choked up and followed Fu Jinxiao’s gaze. 

The CEO and his executive secretary suddenly looked over. The two receptionists were stared at like this, and quickly lowered their heads.

Both of them boarded the special elevator. He looked at Fu Jinxiao’s expression, and tentatively said: “Actually, it might be… related to their recent private life, you don’t need to mind too much.”

Fu Jinxiao said slowly, “Really?”

The secretary frantically nodded.

Fu Jinxiao felt that was not the truth. His secretary also looked uneasy, which proved his guess. 

The secretary was selected as the CEO’s secretary because of his outstanding abilities, and he had worked in this company for years. However, the secretary had never seen Fu Jinxiao like this before, his emotions and anger were both invisible and unpredictable.

The elevator went up regardless. 

It was very quiet inside, but the secretary could feel an invisible pressure emanating from his boss. Of course, the secretary knew what happened to everyone recently. A drop of cold sweat fell down, and finally under this pressure, he broke down. “Of course, it may also be because of Madam’s newest movie.” (lady boss/the boss’ wife)

The topic finally reached a topic that Fu Jinxiao was interested in.

The CEO raised his eyebrows. “Oh?”

Nerves tensed, the secretary blabbed everything he knew honestly. “Recently, Madam’s new movie is currently on the air. This drama is the second pure romance movie he took on, and it’s director Zhang Sansan’s new work “Phantom Gauze”. This movie was very well-received by both the audience and critics, especially because of the lead actors’ stellar performances. Precisely because they acted so well, the audiences…” 

He trailed on, not brave enough to finish. 

Regardless, Fu Jinxiao understood the unsaid words. Because the acting was very convincing, the audience naturally was sold on this pairing. Their love inevitably spread from the characters CP into the actors CP. This behavior is understandable. 

“But everyone just loves the two protagonists of the movie!” The secretary quickly rectified, with a strong desire to survive, “Most people are still very rational, you see.” 

“Ding.“

The elevator arrived.

Fu Jinxiao gave a low laugh. The mature and steady CEO glanced sideways at his secretary, and said slowly, “Do you think I will care about this?”

The secretary hurriedly said, “Of course you won’t!”

The thing is, the secretary was partially correct. Fu Jinxiao was far too busy with his work, so he didn’t have the time to be up-to-date with the latest entertainment news on Weibo and other platforms. Of course he knew that his wife’s newest movie had been released, and he also knew that it was well-received thanks to all the staff’s good work. He only helped a bit with the marketing and publicity, but after that, he didn’t follow it until the end. That’s why he didn’t know anything about the two leading actors’ CP gossip. 

If you clicked on Weibo and slid down a little bit, you would see a plethora of hashtags used for the shipping. 

#Chen Zehu and A-Bian took the lead#

#Today is also a day missing Xiao Hu# 

Not only these hot searches, but the discussions were even hotter on the supertopic. After clicking in, you could see many people directly chatting about the actors, not even mentioning their characters’ names. 

[Suisui and Dangdang match each other!]

[Ahhh, I will ship this CP for the rest of my life!] 

[A man like Zhou Zedang, who is cool and passionate, is really fitting for the sweet Suisui. It’s a match made in heaven!] 

[Hurry up and get with each other!]

[Wow, I also want to see them interact more. Does this mean I like them together?] 

[Hurry up, hurry up, I don’t have enough time to wait for their next interaction!] 

Many people were obviously fans of this CP. Because whether it’s the flamboyant young master in the movie, or Zhou Zedang, who was cool and passionate in real life, they were both idols who were excellent in all aspects. Shen Xingsui’s reputation was very good, and he was famous for his skills, handsome appearance, and good personality. All in all, they were objectively a good match. 

Seeing these comments that begged them to be together, Fu Jinxiao’s eyes gradually darkened.

The secretary knocked on the door and said, “Boss…”

Fu Jinxiao raised his head. The secretary met the man’s gaze, which was piercing and cold. He felt a chill in his heart just by being glanced at.

“That…” It took all his effort for him not to shake in fear. “Boss, are you okay?”

Fu Jinxiao closed the computer slowly and said, “What do I need to do? Signing documents? Give it to me.” 

The secretary rushed over and didn’t dare to delay for a second. After all, he knew everything about the horror of his boss. Although he always smiled and looked easy-going, once he got really angry…

Yeah, he didn’t want to imagine that. 

Sure enough, Fu Jinxiao also proved to him that he was really bothered. 

Throughout the day, contracts, large and small, were sent over. Normally, if there were any problems, it just needed to be corrected and everything would be finished. But this time it was different. All the project managers were called upstairs in turn. Sometimes the faces of some managers were pale. When Fu Jinxiao was angry, he never yelled, let alone slapped the table. He only spreaded the documents on his table, and talked to them with a sickening smile. 

However, every word was like a knife. He could slowly chop up all their excuses, then returned it with a life-ending stab. 

Throughout the morning, the company was full of mourning. All the management from top to bottom, who had to submit documents and approve them today, all looked terrified.

“Boss Fu is scary.”

“I’d rather he yelled at me, to be honest.” 

“He seems to be in a bad mood today…”

It has been a long time since everyone has experienced such a nightmare. In fact, the atmosphere in the company was usually very good. Fu Jinxiao normally was a very understanding boss, and everyone knew it. Plus, he was also generous, actually working hard with excellent results. His kind temperament had won unanimous praise, and even when the turnover was not good, CEO Fu would not get angry at the employees. 

They remembered the last time it was like this… It seemed it was when he was arguing with his wife?

“The young couple must have had a fight.”

“Impossible, there’s no time to quarrel when you’re so busy.”

“Stupid, he must be jealous~”

It’s not just the employees who were in trouble, the secretary was even more nervous. After all, he was the one who had to face Fu Jinxiao directly. In his endless worry, he suddenly received a message, and it immediately cheered him up! 

In the afternoon, just when everyone thought that the nightmare in the morning might continue, the good news came from above that Fu Jinxiao had left the company. It was because Madam’s activities ended today and he was going to pick him up! 

When everyone in the company heard the news, they cheered as if they had escaped from a disaster:

“Madam is always the MVP!”

“Oh God, thanks for Madam’s timely help!” 

“Ahhhh—!! We’re free!”

“Our boss’s weakness is really only his wife…”
