Two years later, Bosson Group…
"Luo Yaoyao, from now on, you'll be operating the exclusive elevator for senior executives. There must be no mistakes! Do you understand?"
"Yes, Manager Zhang." Wearing her crisp elevator operator uniform, Yaoyao stepped into the elevator and politely saw off her department manager.
Having just finished her high school studies in Japan, she returned to China and found this elevator operator position through a job advertisement. A monthly salary of 5,000 yuan was a generous offer that only China's top-ranking companies like Bosson Group could provide. Of course, Feng Corporation, its rival, was equally lavish in its pay. But…
There was no way she'd work for her ex-boyfriend's company!
Two years ago, after their breakup, Feng Chenyi had been summoned back to China to take over Feng Corporation. They had cut all ties since then, which was fine by her. At least she didn't have to see that heartless playboy again and stir up old feelings.
"Phew… this job is tougher than it looks." Although not physically demanding, it required her utmost attention. She had to memorize the faces of every senior executive to ensure she could promptly press the right floor button for them. For someone like Yaoyao, who wasn't great at remembering faces, this was a daunting task.
She checked the time.
"It's already past the start of the workday. There shouldn't be anyone else coming in, right?" Letting out a sigh of relief, she leaned against the metal wall of the elevator, relaxing her body.
But just then… Ding! The elevator began to move again.
"It's already 10 o'clock. Who's coming in so late? Who dares to be this bold and show up late?"
At the entrance of Bosson Group, a Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up. Two rows of staff stood in solemn formation at the door, their heads slightly bowed, holding their breath as if awaiting the arrival of an important figure.
The car door opened, and a man in a suit and tie stepped out first. His aura was regal and commanding. The moment he got out of the car, it felt like the air around him had thinned.
"Mr. Yu." The staff greeted him in unison, bowing deeply at a 90-degree angle.
Expressionless, Yu Aotian strode forward with a group of subordinates, heading straight for the Bosson lobby. Only after he turned into the elevator area did the welcoming staff dare to lift their heads.
"Phew… Mr. Yu's presence is as overwhelming as ever. That was terrifying," one of them murmured, glancing at the others, who nodded in agreement.
The elevator reached the ground floor, and Yaoyao peeked nervously at the four men and one woman waiting outside. Her heart skipped a beat.
How could anyone look so handsome? And that woman—she was stunning! Especially the first man who stepped into the elevator. His aura was straight out of a movie, like the male lead entering a pivotal scene.
But…
Wait a minute. He looks so familiar. Have I seen him somewhere before? Shaking off the thought, she extended her hand to press the floor buttons. But her face paled instantly.
Oh no. Oh no.
She suddenly realized that none of these people appeared on the company's organizational chart. What should she do? It was only her first day—she didn't want to get yelled at!
A bead of sweat trickled down her temple, and her hand trembled as it hovered over the buttons. She could only hope her guess was right.
"So, where are we heading to unwind after work today?" Longqi finally broke the silence as the elevator ascended, nudging Yu Aotian with a mischievous grin.
"Anywhere."
"Come on, you're the one who always decides. How can you just say 'anywhere'? Is it Paradise Club? Or…"
Ding! The elevator stopped abruptly, cutting off Longqi mid-sentence. He frowned. "Why are we stopping so soon?"
Everyone glanced up at the floor display.
The 41st floor. Why had the elevator stopped at the 41st floor?
Yu Aotian's face darkened instantly.
Longqi's voice boomed, "Hey, elevator operator, why did the elevator stop on the 41st floor?"
Did she make a mistake? They don't work on the 41st floor? She was doomed! "I'm so sorry… I'm really sorry, leaders. It's my first day, so I… I'm terribly sorry!" She bowed repeatedly, turning her head as she spoke.
In that instant, Yu Aotian's strikingly handsome face tensed, and a sharp glint flashed through his deep eyes.
