I Have the Halo of Overbearing President - chapter 32
Chu Chu and Xia Xiaoxiao followed the waiter through the corridor and into the private room inside the restaurant. The elegant room was of a semi-open design. One could see the quite artistic decoration design in the lobby, but the privacy was very good. Because of the cover of green bamboo leaves and pale orchids, people outside could hardly see the situation in the private room.
Chu Chu felt that the biggest benefit of getting rich was that she could taste a variety of delicacies, which was her reserved pleasure. After they ordered, only Chu Chu and Xia Xiaoxiao were left in the elegant room. Chu Chu took the initiative and said, “Thank you for your hard work these days.”
Xia Xiaoxiao followed Chu Chu to record the show and ran in and out for several days. Chu Chuzhen was busy rehearsing and she didn’t care about many things. It was Xia Xiaoxiao who took care of everything. From her meals to taxis, she planned it very meticulously. She had all kinds of small supplies in her school bag.
Chu Chu had gradually learned about the female lead of the original book during her recent encounters. She was actually not as foolish and reckless as in the novel. Xia Xiaoxiao was a gentle and considerate girl who sincerely took care of others. Although sometimes she was too innocent, it was this kind of harmless temperament that made other sisters take care of her in the office.
Although Chu Chu only brought Xia Xiaoxiao as an assistant, her efficiency was by no means inferior to that of other artists’ teams. The screenwriters in the show even jokingly called Xia Xiaoxiao the female lead of the movie “The Devil Wears Prada” and President Chu the deity of the Devil, and said they were an interesting duo.
All in all, Xia Xiaoxiao cast off the halo of the “female lead” as a capable little girl.
Xia Xiaoxiao hurriedly waved her hand and said, “No no, I just did simple things. It wasn’t that difficult…”
Xia Xiaoxiao didn’t expect that her hard work would be noticed by President Chu. She thought she was just an invisible person and was flattered.
“It is also very difficult to achieve perfection in simple things.” Chu Chu looked at the shiny crystal cup next to her in an analogy, “Even if it is a cup, the ones with ordinary workmanship and careful carving are completely different. In the night market, the latter can become a luxury.”
Xia Xiao smiled and nodded. She looked at President Chu, who was quiet and faintly tired under the light and blurted out, “You are not the same as when you were recording the show…”
Xia Xiaoxiao felt wrong after speaking. She was afraid that President Chu might misunderstand and quickly added another sentence, “I don’t mean anything by that!”
She just thought that President Chu’s personality was changeable. She was frightening in the company, but was easy-going and calm in life. She was arrogant on the stage and almost every aspect was different.
The more Xia Xiaoxiao got in contact with President Chu, the more mysterious and unique she felt.
Chu Chu said indifferently, “It’s a talk show. After all, it’s just a show where I needed to perform. The scene must stir up the atmosphere.”
Chu Chu would certainly not be too exaggerated. She finished recording. As if the computer’s battery was exhausted, she went soft and her brain was like a paste.
Xia Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, finally brought up her courage and weakly asked, “Which is the real you like?”
Xia Xiaoxiao suppressed the curiosity in her heart. She wanted to know more and get closer to her boss.
Chu Chu was silent for a moment, put her chopsticks aside and frankly said, “I don’t know either.”
Chu Chu didn’t know, let alone talk about her true self. Sometimes, she didn’t know if she was in a dream or in reality. Was she a character in the book or a bystander outside the story?
“Hey, don’t mention such philosophical topics. I’m already very tired today.” Chu Chu waved her hand and asked, “What are you planning to do next?”
Xia Xiaoxiao said honestly, “I’ll learn more from my colleagues next. Everyone has a good working knowledge, but I have too much to learn and don’t know anything about finance…”
Chu Chu comforted her, “It’s normal, I also get a headache looking at the numbers. I always let Zhang Jianian do it.”
Chu Chu wasn’t so stupid to learn finance from scratch. She had a specialization in the field of art. What she didn’t know would be directly arranged to someone who could do it. Anyway, Zhang Jianian was a person Chu Yanyin selected and had a good ability.
“Since you are not good at finance, then do variety shows or film and television projects. We’ll also cover this aspect soon. I will mention this to Wang Qing and arrange this kind of work for you.”Â
Chu Chu and Xia Xiaoxiao got acquainted with each other. She no longer regarded her as a piece of paper in the book, but a newcomer who had just entered the society and subconsciously gave her advice.
When Xia Xiaoxiao heard that, her eyes got a little bright and she hesitated, “President Chu, but I’m still young…”
Chu Chu waved her hand and said boldly, “Experience is learned, don’t persuade, just do it!”
Knock——
The knock on the door interrupted the chat between the two.Â
Xia Xiao smiled, “It should be the food.”
Chu Chu nodded, but saw familiar words appear on the wall and heard a voice.
[The “male lead” and “female lead” halo owners were detected. It will forcefully make you enter the duel mission.]
[Delta task: Repel Li Taihe and destroy Xia Xiaoxiao’s favor.]
Chu Chu: ……Why did all this happen? Wasn’t this just a casual meal??
Chu Chu looked at the task requirements and had a headache. Could it be that her presence would inevitably hinder the relationship between the male and the female lead?
Li Taihe inspected the private room and finally found the room where the two of them were. He saw the surprised Xia Xiaoxiao, then glanced at Chu Chu who was sitting at the table, frowned and went straight into the room.Â
Xia Xiaoxiao smiled, “Why are you here?”
Xia Xiaoxiao worked together with Li Taihe for a period of time on a show and finally ended up with her falling into the water. The two never met again. There were two reasons, one was that Xia Xiaoxiao entered Yinda investment and the other was that Li Taihe was busy dismissing the lawsuit.
Li Taihe didn’t answer Xia Xiaoxiao, but pulled her behind him to protect her and sternly said to Chu Chu, “I told you a long time ago, don’t trouble Xiaoxiao!”
Chu Chu smiled instead of getting angry, raised her eyebrows and said lightly, “How did I trouble her?”

Just a reminder, tho. If the ori-CC actually push down XXX from a high building/room, or arranged someone to do that, LTH has a justified reason to be vigilant and suspecting her of scheming something to harm XXX.
We clearly know that the current CC didn’t do it. She’s transmigrated right after XXX plunged into the pool from a high place (if not after she’s fished out of the pool). But, LTH doesn’t know that she’s not the ori-CC.
