Seeing that the system was lying flat, Shi Xi decided to lie down as well. "Let's take it one step at a time. There's a high chance that Xie Yunzhou won't throw me into the river and feed me to the fish."
System: [...]
One person at a time, willing to be a salted fish.
There was a knock on the door.
Shi Xi got up to open the door and realized that it was Xie Yunzhou's assistant.
"Hello? What's the matter?" Shi Xi asked softly.
The assistant smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Shi. When I went to the cake shop, I thought that Miss Shi might like to eat cake, so I bought one for you."
When Shi Xi saw the chocolate cake in the assistant's hand, her eyes lit up. "You're too polite. Thank you."
"No need to thank me." The assistant hinted, "President Xie's birthday is coming up soon. I'm going to order a birthday cake for President Xie."
"Xie Yunzhou's birthday?" Shi Xi asked, "When?"
