Not long after, the office staff had all left. Standing at the door, Yaoyao stopped the male employee she had spoken with earlier. "Wait, why is everyone leaving?"
"Oh, the manager told us to finish for the day. But don't worry, he'll be here to see you soon."
Hearing this, Yaoyao let out a sigh of relief. "Alright, thank you."
As the other employees left, a young man in a suit slowly emerged from the manager's office.
He stood around 1.7 meters tall, looking no older than 20. His bright, sparkling eyes and well-defined nose gave him an impressive appearance, and his sun-kissed skin added to his vibrant, sunny demeanor.
However, the more Yaoyao looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. "You… You're…"
"Hello, I'm the Security Department Manager," the man introduced himself with a polite nod. But in those bright eyes, a playful glint flashed briefly.
Ha, she was indeed the "Flat Princess" from the elevator. Even if he didn't remember her face, he could never forget her utterly flat chest. How amusing.
"Manager of the Security Department? You… Aren't you from the Public Relations Department?!"
Now she remembered! He was the same person who had worked alongside that villain and once scolded her.
"Hey, Flat Princess, do I look like someone who lives off others? Those guys are from PR; I'm with Security, okay?"
So he was part of Security. No wonder he had been so upset when she sent him to the PR Department. "I'm sorry. I thought you worked with them."
"Forget it. No need to bring that up again. What brings you here this time?" With that, he pulled out two chairs, inviting Yaoyao to sit down with him.
"Well…" She hesitated. This manager had worked with that scoundrel before—they might even be friends. No, if they were in cahoots, things would get worse. "Manager, are the people who worked with you yesterday your friends?"
"Friends? At best, they're colleagues. I don't associate with people who live off their looks."
Hearing this, Yaoyao felt reassured. "Manager, I came here today because… I need your help!"
Her big, watery eyes brimmed with tears, making her look like a helpless, vulnerable little rabbit. A strange feeling stirred in Long Qi's heart, and he couldn't help but ask, "How old are you?"
"Huh? I'm… 19."
"So, the same age as me?" The more he looked at her, the more she resembled a doll-like loli. Could it be that Ao Tian's tastes had changed?
"Manager? Manager?"
Her voice pulled Long Qi back to reality, and he quickly adopted a serious demeanor. "What were we saying? Oh, you need my help, right? What do you need? Speak."
"I… It's my second day at work, and I've been harassed by people from the PR Department. I hope…"
"What? Someone harassed you? How could Bossen allow such a thing?!" Long Qi stood up, fuming. "Don't worry, I'll help you. Now, tell me exactly how they harassed you."
"Uh…" Although she should feel reassured by his words, something about his reaction felt off. "Manager, could we skip the details?"
"How can we skip that? Without details, how can I help you? Come on, tell me."
"Well, just now… that scoundrel forced… forced…"
"You don't have to explain. I already saw."
"Huh?"
"I mean, I could guess. Now tell me about the other incidents."
"Other incidents…"
Yaoyao recounted the elevator incident from her first day in detail. Initially, Long Qi had been listening intently, but his interest quickly waned. Countless women had dreamed of kissing Yu Ao Tian, and yet here she was, coming to complain about it? What a fool. "Anything else?" he asked with a yawn, slumping back into his chair.
"Yes!"
"Still more? Go on, go on!"
"This morning, in the PR Department, that villain and Manager Long…"
"Manager Long? Which Manager Long?" Long Qi interrupted her.
"He's called Long Ye."
"Ah…" Upon hearing the name, Long Qi's eyes lit up. So Long Ye and Ao Tian had been working together this morning? "Quick, tell me—did they both…"
"No! That Manager Long wasn't involved. He just cooperated…" Yaoyao recounted the events from the morning briefly.
Long Qi yawned again in disappointment. He had expected Long Ye and Ao Tian to team up and do something scandalous, but it turned out to be another dud. Boring. "Yaoyao, after hearing all this, I'm outraged. Bossen has two rotten apples!"
"Yes! So, Manager, will you help me?"
"I want to help, but you'll need to name the person harassing you. Plus, it's just your word—do you have any proof?"
A name… proof…
That's right, she didn't even know the man's name. "The scoundrel harassing me is the one who worked with you."
"Worked with me? There are several. Which one?"
Which one? No problem; there was another way. "Manager, that villain took my phone, and there's evidence on it. If you call my number, we'll know who has it."
"Good idea. What's your number?" Long Qi quickly pulled out his phone and dialed the number she provided.
However…
"Forget yesterday; now that you're here, I want to love you. Please give me a chance…"
A familiar ringtone echoed faintly in the quiet office.
Yaoyao froze. She recognized that ringtone. "Manager… isn't that my phone's ringtone? How…"
At that moment, the office door opened, and Yu Ao Tian leaned lazily against the doorframe. His handsome face bore a sly, evil smile, and he toyed with a pink flip phone in his hand.
"It's… it's him! Manager, that's the villain who's been harassing me!" Yaoyao clutched Long Qi's arm, trembling with fear, her expression pitiful.
"Oh? It's him? Well, that makes things easy. The evidence is on that phone, right?" Long Qi feigned righteousness.
"Yes, yes!" Yaoyao nodded quickly.
"Alright, leave it to me." He strode over to Yu Ao Tian, snatched the phone from his hand, and handed it to Yaoyao. "Here, find the evidence."
"Okay."
Her watery eyes occasionally darted to Yu Ao Tian, who remained leaning against the doorframe, unperturbed.
You arrogant scoundrel, just you wait! You're doomed!
But after searching for a while…
"He deleted it?!" The video was gone.
