At the top level of the Rich Corporation, in the President's office.
"Don't take pictures of me. What's so interesting about me alone?" Ling Xiaoxiao blocked the camera in frustration. She initially planned to sleep with Zhan Yeling, but unexpectedly, she fell asleep first and had no idea where Zhan Yeling had gone.
The high-grade glass door to the office opened. A man in a black handmade suit, tall and imposing, strode in with an air of refinement.
"President Zhan is back!"
Reporters swarmed, while the bodyguards and Gu Yi swiftly shielded the man from the onslaught of trouble.
Unable to get close, the reporters had to settle for interviews from the periphery of the circle formed by the bodyguards.
"President Zhan, is it true that Miss Ling shared the office rest-room with you?"
"Are you blind? President Zhan just came back from outside," Gu Yi retorted.
"President Zhan, your engagement party with Miss Ling is near, and while you are inseparable, you are not sharing a bed. This suggests you care for Miss Ling's reputation while being unable to bear separation. It shows you truly love Miss Ling," another reporter who had been paid tried to portray Zhan Ye Ling and Ling Xiaoxiao as a loving couple.
Zhan Yeling's dark eyes momentarily shifted to the reporter, frightening him so much that he nearly dropped his camera.
"Fengxiang Entertainment, if you are still with the company tomorrow, it will no longer exist," Zhan Yeling glanced at his work badge, speaking calmly but forcefully. His intimidating presence was evident.
Zhan Yeling was annoyed!
Everyone got the message.
Within two seconds, the surrounding chatter ceased, and the office was once again quiet.
"Ye Ling, I'm sorry…" Ling Xiaoxiao, realizing her plan had failed, looked at him, a mix of guilt and regret in her eyes, tears welling up.
She played the role of the pitiful victim to perfection.
"Get out!" Zhan Ye Ling's voice was low, but impactful.
Ling Xiaoxiao, startled, her shoulders trembling, reluctantly left the room for fear of upsetting him further.
After Ling Xiaoxiao left, Gu Yi brought over the recently tested teacup, saying respectfully, "President Zhan, the tea contains a large amount of sleeping pills."
So this was all a big show staged by Ling Xiaoxiao!
"President Zhan, Miss Ling was just trying to foster a relationship with you. I think it's understandable, after all, you two are about to get engaged," Gu Yi bravely advised him.
Wasn't Ling Xiaoxiao drugging Zhan Yeling's tea just a way to bed the uninterested man, make a fuss, and force him to take responsibility?
Zhan Yeling shot him a cold look.
Gu Yi bowed his head: "I was wrong."
"The overseas product launch for this quarter has already begun," Gu Yi swiftly changed the subject back to work.
He picked up the remote and turned on the large computer screen in the office.
"That vixen, sleeps with a different man every day…"
Suddenly, a chaotic scene appeared on the computer screen. A richly dressed woman was pointing at a woman hiding in the corner of a bed, showing just her face.
Wait, that woman was hiding in the arms of a handsome man. And that man was…
Their President Zhan!
Stunned by the news, Gu Yi froze.
In just a short while, their usually aloof and reticent President Zhan had left his fiancée to sleep with another woman!
And in such an affectionate manner, no less!
Zhan Yeling looked at the computer screen. A woman sat on him, looking desperate to nestle into his chest. He rubbed his throbbing temples, showing no signs of resisting her.
Anger stirred within him. "Gu Yi!"
"Sorry, I played the wrong one," Gu Yi replied, startled, and quickly switched off the power.
"Find out who released the news and suppress them!" Zhan Yeling commanded, fiery anger burning in his eyes.
"Yes, I'll get right on it." Gu Yi promptly left to carry out the order.
Zhan Yeling's handsome face turned dark with rage.
Ling Xiaoxiao sat in the car on her way home when she suddenly came across a news article featuring Zhan Yeling in bed with another woman. As soon as she recognized the woman's face, the video was blocked.
So, Zhan Yeling had been with another woman!
It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't like sleeping with women; he just didn't like her.
A look of resentment and unwillingness flashed in Ling Xiaoxiao's enchanting eyes.
At the same time, Xiong Miao also happened to see the news featuring her and Zhan Yeling in bed together.
The video showed her in an awkward and helpless state while Xiong Jingxi was arrogant and overbearing. Zhan Yeling's appearance was an unexpected accident.
But this unexpected event turned a simple domestic dispute into a sensation, gaining over a million shares in just two minutes.
The only consolation for Xiong Miao was that neither the previous nor this video had captured her children.
"You're in bed with the CEO of the Rich Corporation again!" Su Mumu lost her composure after watching the video.
"What do you mean 'again'? Mind your words," Xiong Miao retorted, feigning innocence.
"Those six little ones are Zhan Yeling's kids, right? They look so much like him. You can't fool me. Four years ago, you slept with the handsome Zhan Yeling!" Su Mumu pouted, devastated as if she had lost a treasure.
All the handsome guys in the world should be hers!
"Do you think he'll investigate and find my children?" Xiong Miao was still worried.
"Oh please, not everyone is as obsessed with their kids as you are," Su Mumu dismissed her worries as baseless.
"But..."
"But nothing! If he wanted to investigate you, he would have done it four years ago. Why would he wait until now?" Su Mumu might be usually hazy, but she always hit the nail on the head when it mattered.
"Besides, he's about to get engaged to Ling Xiaoxiao, the heiress of the Ling family. They're very much in love. As for you, you're just a fleeting joy before his marriage. He won't take it seriously." Su Mumu, having looked up Zhan Yeling because he was handsome, had stumbled upon this information.
"You're right. I'll go to work without any worries tomorrow," Xiong Miao decided, feeling reassured.
Xiong Miao started her new job at a professional fashion design company.
"This is your seat. Take the day to familiarize yourself with the environment. Come to my office to collect your uniform after work," said Manager Zhang, a good-looking young man.
After arranging Xiong Miao's workspace and greeting his colleagues, he returned to his office.
Although it was her first day, Xiong Miao really liked the environment of the company. The space was roomy, the décor was artistic, and every desk had potted plants in front of it.
Right next to her were two pots of green luo and a few pots of hyacinths.
The hyacinths bloomed in pink clusters, their fragrance wafting through the air, invigorating and refreshing.
Without any work assigned to her on the first day, she took out the paper and pencil she had brought along and started doodling out of boredom.
Soon, it was time to leave work.
Following instructions, Xiong Miao headed to the manager's office.
"Manager Zhang, I've come to collect my uniform," Xiong Miao said politely, standing in front of his desk.
"Close the door first," he instructed.
Xiong Miao didn't think much of it and closed the door.
As she turned around, she almost bumped into Manager Zhang who had somehow closed the gap between them.
Quickly stepping back, she stammered, "Manager Zhang..."
"I've heard that you can't do without a man in your life. How about I satisfy you today?" The once serious and meticulous man was now showing a lustful expression.
He swiftly grabbed Xiong Miao by the waist.
