 CEO Qin’s Tormented Ears


"Alright then." 

Tang Keyi sighed quietly and sat down, 

flipping casually through the employee manual. 

"So what exactly will I be doing?"

"Answering calls, printing documents for President Qin to sign, organizing files, bringing him coffee, that sort of thing."

Keyi nodded. 

"Got it. Basically, I’m his errand boy."

"The manual also includes President Qin’s preferences and pet peeves. You might want to read it carefully."

"Sure, sure." 

How hard can being an assistant be?

After all, this was Keyi’s first job. 

He was brimming with confidence, ready to take on the challenge.





[Ugh, I woke up way too early. None of my friends have replied—they’re definitely still asleep.]

Before Qin Zhiyan even saw Tang Keyi, he heard the complaint.

Too early? 

It’s almost 11 AM.

Rounding the corner, he found Keyi slumped over his desk, scrolling on his phone.

"What are you doing?"

The sudden voice made Keyi jolt, nearly dropping his phone.

[Are we not allowed to use phones at work? Did I just get caught red-handed?]

"I was... waiting for you, President Qin!" 

Keyi forced a bright, guilty smile.

Zhiyan’s pupils contracted slightly. 

He cleared his throat. 

"You were supposed to report at 9 AM."

"I didn’t know that! Grandma just said to come in this morning." 

Keyi blinked innocently.

[9 AM? Yeah, right. Only ghosts wake up that early.]

Unmoved, Zhiyan said coolly, 

"Late arrivals result in pay deductions."

[Deduct away. Like I care about your pocket change.]

"How much is my salary, anyway?"

[It better be at least a few hundred grand. No way I’m working for less!]

"Ask HR."

With your skills, 

people would probably pay to not have you.

Zhiyan strode toward his office, tossing over his shoulder, 

"Go make me coffee."

"Right away, President Qin!"

[I’ve got this! The manual spelled out his preferences!]

Zhiyan kept walking. 

At least the young master is somewhat useful. 

Otherwise, this salary would be a scam.







Too sweet. And poorly filtered.

Frowning, Zhiyan set the cup down.

[It should be fine, right?]

[I followed the manual’s instructions exactly!]

[I even tasted it. Aside from not being sweet enough, it’s pretty good.]

Under Keyi’s eager gaze, 

Zhiyan reluctantly nodded. 

"Passable."

[Ugh, this guy. If it’s good, just say it’s good! Don’t people thrive on encouragement?!]

Zhiyan massaged his temples. 

I take it back. 

Never praising him again.

"That’s all. You can go."

Having completed his first official work task, 

Keyi cheerfully bounced out.

Zhiyan immediately called Cong Qiao. 

"From now on, don’t let Tang Keyi near my coffee."






[Why hasn’t anyone replied to me yet? Qiuqiu must still be asleep.]

[So bored… So sleepy…]

[When’s lunch? I’m starving. Definitely bringing snacks tomorrow.]

[Maybe I can sneak in a quick game… No one will notice, right?]

The mental noise grated on Zhiyan’s nerves. 

He tossed his pen aside and called Cong Qiao again.





Keyi, mid-daydream, watched as Cong Qiao and several others filed into the CEO’s office, 

then emerged moments later.

"Cong Qiao, what was that about?"

"President Qin had us rearrange some furniture."

"Weird timing."

"Not sure. Oh, and President Qin asked me to give you a tour of the company. He also said no snacks, no games, and lunch is after the tour."

Keyi’s eyes widened. 

Is Qin Zhiyan psychic?!

Well… Rules are made to be broken. 

He’ll never know.

This thought, fortunately, 

didn’t reach Zhiyan’s ears.

With his desk repositioned, 

the CEO finally enjoyed blessed silence.



As Cong Qiao escorted Keyi through each department, 

employees noted the VIP treatment and the newcomer’s striking looks, 

deducing he wasn’t someone to cross. 

They greeted him warmly.

At HR, Keyi made a point to ask about his salary—

only to discover it was a fraction of what he’d expected.

Patting Cong Qiao’s shoulder sympathetically, Keyi said, 

"Damn, you slave away for President Qin and this is all you get?"

Cong Qiao looked puzzled. 

"Young Master Tang, our salaries aren’t the same."

Keyi’s pity deepened.

Did Qin Zhiyan inflate my pay out of respect for the Tang family?

"What? He’s playing favorites? Forget him—come work for my family. I’ll treat you right."

Cong Qiao, baffled, pulled up his latest payslip. 

"No need, Young Master Tang. President Qin compensates me fairly."

Keyi’s jaw dropped. 

"We do the same job! Why is yours so much higher?!"

Cong Qiao: …No. We absolutely do not.

Chapter 1 The big fierce A turns into a vicious soft O

By -
"Ahhh!" "Where's my big dragon!" "Why did it become a little dragon?!" Following a sharp explosion, Nian Jinsui stared in disbelief.  He checked his body repeatedly with his eyes, and finally raised his head like a bolt out of the blue, and his eyes fell on the mirror in front of him. The boy in the mirror had fluffy chestnut curly hair, his skin was as smooth and shiny as white jade, and his cheeks were stained with a faint blush, as if covered with a light crimson haze. His facial features are particularly exquisite, and he looks like God's favorite at first glance.  His eyes were very bright and moist, and they were slightly widened at this time, full of surprise.  Even the pink lips were slightly open, and it seemed that he had been greatly shocked. One look at this appearance, and you can tell that he is a noble, pampered kid from a rich family. Nian Jinsui looked at the face in front of him...

Chapter 2 I am not an Omega, I want to commit suicide!

By -
“Mr. Nian, Mr. Qin asked me to bring my family’s second young master here. I’ll leave him in your care.” A middle-aged man in a loose suit stood respectfully outside the Nian family villa, speaking to Nian Yixin. “Of course, Mr. Qin has already informed me.”  Nian Yixin replied with a polite smile, though his expression carried a natural air of measured distance. He was the head of the Nian family and, notably, an Omega. Nian Yixin’s gaze landed on the young man beside the driver.  The youth stood straight, his frame lean like a proud green bamboo.  His features were sharp and handsome, his eyes deep and dark, as though concealing icy cracks beneath a cold river, exuding an air of coldness and eeriness. At the corner of his right eye, there was a small mole, adding a faint trace of aloofness to his expression. His indifferent demeanor and taciturn nature made him less than charming as a guest. “So this is Chengyu? You’ll be living with us from now on. Feel free to...

Chapter 51 Attending the Celebration Banquet in Style

By -
"Son, I know you’re upset right now, but for the sake of the bigger picture, you need to endure this for now"   Qin Mu yun advised.  "Nian Jinsui is the type who thrives on making a fuss. If this incident gets blown up and reaches your grandfather’s ears, it’ll be hard to handle." Compared to Qin Cheng luo, Qin Mu yun was slightly more level-headed.  Although she was angry, she hadn’t lost her rationality.  With Qin Zhuo currently evaluating Qin Cheng luo, they couldn’t afford to take any risks. Qin Cheng luo, though unwilling, understood the gravity of the situation.   "Don’t worry, Mom. Once I become the head of Qin Corporation, handling Qin Chengyu will be a piece of cake. I’ll make sure Nian Jinsui kneels before me, begging for my mark!" "Someone that even Chu Heting doesn’t want—what’s so special about him? If it weren’t for the fact that he’s the only son of the Nian family, who could tolerate his ...

Chapter 3 Come on, just let him kiss you.

By -
Nian Jinsui was having a beautiful dream.  In his dream, he had returned to his original body and even met his dream Omega. The little Omega’s face wasn’t clear; he could only see those soft-looking lips approaching him, with a faint, sweet fragrance. So proactive—how could he wait any longer? Nian Jinsui widened his eyes, trying to see the Omega’s face clearly.  He puckered his lips in anticipation of those tender, delicate lips. As his vision sharpened, however... The person before him had cold, indifferent eyes, even showing a trace of reluctance and resistance. Even the mole at the corner of his eye seemed to emit disdain.  Yet, those lips were exceptionally beautiful—plump and defined, looking so tempting to bite. Come on, come on, just give him a kiss… Just as Qin Chengyu’s lips were about to touch Nian Jinsui’s, their eyes met.  Qin Chengyu saw Nian Jinsui’s intoxicated gaze, coupled with the subtle movements of his lips. Qin Chengyu quickly lowered his eyes, ...

Chapter 5 What do you call a person who can’t smell?

By -
Nian Jinsui couldn't help but think of Qin Chengyu's life experience. The current leader of the Qin family, Qin Zhuo, is nearly seventy years old. He is still energetic and quick-thinking, and holds all the power of the Qin family firmly in his hands. Qin Zhuo is a top Alpha with high IQ and strong ability. Under his hands, the Qin family has developed into one of the three major families in the imperial capital. At the same time, he is also a proud and arrogant person. He hopes that his high-quality Alpha genes can continue to carry forward the Qin family. It's a pity that he only has two Omega daughters, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu. Qin Zhuo could only recruit two Alpha sons-in-law, and put his hope in his grandchildren. Later, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu gave birth to sons one year apart. It's just that Qin Muyu was not in good health originally, and became even more weak after giving birth to a child, and died a few years later. Her husband was distraught, depressed all day ...
