Little Mi Su nodded politely. “Meow.”
Thank you. owo
Countless gazes and camera flashes converged upon him.
The original academic luminaries, industry titans, and business wizards all seemed to pale in comparison to the cat.
A kitten the size of a palm, dressed in a tiny white suit, held its head high with pride, its little catwalk radiating full-on charisma.
As if accustomed to grand occasions, it showed not a hint of stage fright; even its whiskers seemed filled with conviction.
“Oh my goodness!”
The elegantly postured hostesses greeting guests at the entrance, upon seeing this, momentarily forgot to greet the guests behind. They covered their mouths, signaling to each other, “Look over there!”
The commotion on-site wasn’t enough to distract the kitten.
Hmm? Is this the place?
The cat naturally took its place at the end of the greeting line, perked up and placing its paws neatly together!
Its large, round, clear eyes narrowed. The refined, suited little puffball politely called out to the guests: “Meow-roar—!”
Welcome—!
Seeing the star kitten about to be surrounded, Xiao Yu hurried over, scooped up the cat, and ran into the venue. “Not this job! You little rascal, you look like a chocolate daifuku; who would dare let you be a greeter?”
The sweet-smelling chocolate ball flicked its tail in displeasure, baring its teeth. “Meow!”
Someone would dare, surely!
In front of the venue’s digital guide screen, Xiao Yu quickly explained the job the cat was responsible for: directing guests and leading those who couldn’t find their seats to them.
The kitten swayed its head, watching with great seriousness.
Xiao Yu thought, no matter how smart this kitten was, it probably wouldn’t get to that level, so he didn’t dwell on it.
If the fluffy one wanted money, he could have it.
After outfitting the soft, adorable gentleman kitten with a tracker, he hurried off to help his brother entertain guests. “Play by yourself—no, wait—work by yourself!”
The chubby little body turned around, quivering like a caramel crème brûlée, scanning the entire venue.
“Meep.”
The kitten butler is online!
The venue was large, and naturally, many attendees felt disoriented upon entering. Whenever this happened, before they could even ask a staff member, a soft little kitten would squat on their leather shoes to get their attention.
Regardless of whether the guests understood, the refinedly dressed kitten would first check their invitations.
After looking, it would calmly open its mouth and let out a single meow.
Then, swishing its little tail, it would turn its cat backside toward them, indicating they should follow.
Guests who had been wandering like headless flies found this amusing, never expecting to actually be led to their correct seats. The reputation of the kitten butler spread rapidly through primitive word-of-mouth, becoming overwhelmingly positive.
“Meow-roar!?”
The little furball went off to guide another guest, only to unexpectedly see Ji Yanxing.
The other man spotted him too, his handsome brows lowering as he grabbed the cat and gave it a squeeze. “What are you doing here? I took you to the vet, and you still ran off? You ungrateful little thing.”
The kitten pouted with all its might, its tight little mouth like a plump strawberry bottom, its soft tail swishing back and forth.
Ji Yanxing had no intention of letting go. Little Mi Su emitted a fierce warning sound, the kind used for catching birds.
Seeing the kitten dressed up properly like this, it must have an owner.
He intended to meet that irresponsible owner today.
“Cute,” the man remarked, raising an eyebrow as he bent down to put the cat back.
“…”
Cute, you big sea urchin!
The little meatball, considering the sea urchin prince’s impending demise, decided not to hold it against him. He continued officiously, leading the way to escort him to his seat.
Ji Yanxing rested his chin on one hand, fingertips idly playing with the tip of the cat’s tail.
A smile touched his eyes as he asked, “Where are you going?”
The round ball of a cat, with its back to him, quickly turned around, stiffened its neck, and impatiently meowed twice in succession. “Working! No time to fool around with you!”
And who’s it all for?
It’s all for you, you poor, fragile, silly human, not even telling your cat you’re sick!
Overcome with sorrow again, little Mi Su felt like crying.
Ji Yanxing watched the kitten’s tiny, busy figure bustling about, a frown of pity creasing his brow.
Such a chubby body, supported by only four little round paws.
Running around like that must be so tiring.
Coincidentally, an older businessman not far away had his phone ring: “Time rushes by like a gust of wind…”
The bitter, tragic effect was maximized.
Ji Yanxing actually saw a kind of heart-wrenching sadness and helplessness of having to support a family on this little kitten.
It reminded him of something, so he called his mother, Mrs. Ji. “Mom.”
His mother and his work had never intersected before. Receiving a call out of the blue during work hours from her perpetually busy son, she thought something major had happened.
Ji Yanxing asked, “Did I ever lose my memory?”
“For example…” He clicked his tongue. “Before my amnesia, did Mi Su give birth to a child for me or raise a kitten? And when I woke up, I forgot all about it, breaking their hearts. If not, why do I have so many strange feelings?”
Mrs. Ji fell silent for a very, very long time.
“Ah Xing, Mom has a good friend who’s a well-known psychologist. You should go see him this Saturday.”
Ji Yanxing: “…”
…
Little Mi Su was kept busy, meeping and meowing for over an hour. The venue was packed, and industry leaders began taking the stage to speak.
The cat rested in a secluded spot, panting as it lifted a little paw pad.
It tried to pull off its little bowtie like a domineering CEO to catch its breath, but its tiny cat paws weren’t adept at such complex maneuvers, so it gave up.
“You think climbing higher in this industry is about hard work? Wrong!”
Not far away, a small-time boss was berating his subordinate manager: “Heaven’s timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony—do you understand what ‘human harmony’ means? Have you seen Ji Yanxing, the most prominent figure in Central City’s business world right now? Find the right opportunity and climb into his bed!”
Cat ears pricked up instantly!
The manager stammered, “B-but… would President Ji even look at me…”
“You fool! Why do you need him to look at you? What you need are ambiguous, scandalous photos, audio, videos! With those things, who cares if you and President Ji are for real or not?”
“For the sake of his reputation, Ji Yanxing would give you benefits too! If he doesn’t, ruin him!”
Hearing this, the manager also chuckled. “Right, right. President Ji cares most about his reputation. If a scandal broke out, someone his age would definitely be finished. If not, I’ll make a scene, cry, threaten suicide!”
—What the meow!?
The exhausted little puffball surged with anger, scrambling to its feet. Its two eyes were like round mirrors, reflecting a fierce light in the dark.
The depravity of human hearts far exceeded the kitten’s expectations.
Before the cat could get closer to see his face clearly, that unknown, nametag-less small-time boss turned and walked away, not forgetting to instruct: “Anyway, you cling to Ji Yanxing for dear life. We’ll mooch a big wave these next few days! Why should he soar to the top effortlessly? Haven’t we worked hard too?!”
Little Mi Su’s fur bristled all over, but it remained silent.
These two people clearly didn’t even know Ji Yanxing!
As complete strangers, how could they harbor such malicious intentions toward someone unrelated, someone they hadn’t even exchanged a word with?!
Is this your so-called ‘hard work’—harming others?
The cat coldly watched his retreating figure.
The owner of the unknown small company took the stage. He had thrown some money at the summit to secure a speaking slot, hoping to get face time in front of the entrepreneurs.
The same person who was privately venomous and resentful suddenly became more peace-loving than a dove of peace.
Putting on airs in front of the bigwigs and the audience, speaking softly, affecting a mediocre broadcaster’s tone.
But someone without real substance remains useless even when placed under scrutiny. The audience below quickly grew tired of the long-winded nonsense.
Just then, a plump, pretty little kitten calmly walked out.
From right to left, it crossed the entire stage, stirring the weary audience. The boss, thinking his speech was having an effect, was thrilled, beaming with delight.
Suddenly, the kitten agilely climbed up his suit and in a few moves was standing on his shoulder.
The unknown boss was startled. “Where did this cat come from?!”
The round, soft, adorable little creature craned its neck, peering around, its big eyes full of curiosity. It deliberately stretched its neck to get a clear look at the other’s face, its little ears twitching incessantly.
The kitten’s perfectly round mouth accidentally aimed at the microphone, emitting a soft, drawn-out sound that echoed throughout the hall—
“Meeeeeow~~?”
Let this cat see what stuff you’re made of?
Simultaneously, its extended sharp claws accidentally scraped off the other’s wig, revealing a smooth, bald head gleaming under the lights!
