Oh no! Drunk last night, I accidentally wandered into my ex-boyfriend's room.

Lin Qian returned to her workstation around the time her lunch break was over.

She shared what had happened in the elevator with her closest colleague, Chen Xiaopan, who was sitting next to her.

Chen Xiaopan, a straightforward girl from Northeast China, immediately exploded upon hearing this, cursing and swearing:

"Go to hell! You old pervert, a 35-year-old bull still trying to seduce a 23-year-old, does he even deserve it? He's got a wife but still tries to take advantage of female employees, I curse him to be impotent!"

She talked on and on, not giving Lin Qian a chance to interrupt, "By the way, Sister Qianqian, did you know that a new person was parachuted in this morning!"

Lin Qian nodded and tidied the documents on the table. "Someone in our department just left last week, so it's normal to hire someone new now."

Zhao Xiaopan, indignant on her behalf, exclaimed, "The key issue is that she's a nepotism hire! She has absolutely no relevant industry experience, and she was parachuted in here. Manager Zhao actually assigned the Dongjing project to her directly!"

She got angrier and angrier as she spoke, "You were the main person in charge of that project, we'd already completed more than half of it, the proposal was all written... and she got all the credit for it, I'm so angry!"

"What?" Lin Qian hadn't received any news about the project being handed over to someone else yet, and immediately frowned.

Just then, the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the ground rang out from afar, becoming increasingly jarring.

The person who arrived was Xu Feier.

She had exquisite makeup and wore a designer business suit, with the collar unbuttoned, revealing her fair and beautiful collarbone.

Xu Feier, holding a Starbucks cup, glanced at Lin Qian and gave a smug smile to her red lips:

"Hello everyone, I'm Xu Feier, the newcomer."

When she joined the company, she gave each employee a designer perfume and exquisite snacks.

People around her immediately gave her friendly looks and warmly welcomed her. Several male colleagues even took the initiative to talk to her and add her on WeChat.

Seeing that Lin Qian's expression was off, Chen Xiaopan whispered, "What's wrong? Do you know her?"

"We know each other more than just acquaintances," Lin Qian said expressionlessly, watching Xu Feier's retreating figure as she entered the office. "Yesterday I even spilled wine all over her."

Inside the general manager's office.

A man and a woman embraced each other intimately.

Manager Zhao's hands wandered improperly over Xu Feier's slender waist, even slipping through her shirt and gradually sliding inwards.

Xu Feier giggled and hooked her arm around his neck, "Don't do that...it tickles~"

I got tired of carrying him.

Manager Zhao pulled Xu Feier onto his lap. "Feier, I've already agreed to give you the Dongjing project, so you should also agree to go to the hot springs with me this weekend, right?"

Xu Feier smiled charmingly, drawing circles on his chest with her fingertips. "Not this week, it'll have to be next week."

"Sure, whatever," Manager Zhao grinned from ear to ear, "As long as you're free, honey."

He thought to himself, "Xu Feier is indeed much more perceptive than Lin Qian! She knows how to please her boss."

Xu Feier sat in his lap, and the thought that he was both a married man and Lin Qian's boss filled her with a great sense of satisfaction.

She said, "I don't really like that Lin Qian."

Manager Zhao frowned. "Why?"

Xu Feier looked aggrieved: "Because when we were in high school, she always bullied me and talked badly about me in front of the boys."

"Hmph, don't worry, she works under me now, so she has to listen to me, doesn't she?" Manager Zhao assured him confidently. "I'll definitely teach her a lesson for you!"

Not long after Xu Feier left the office, she dialed Xia Tingshi's number.

"Sister Shishi, I've already taken over Lin Qian's project, and I've also found out from her close colleagues that she's going to work as a waitress at Xingcan Restaurant this weekend."

Xia Tingshi's voice was as gentle as ever, "Fei'er, you've really worked hard. You're so good to me."

"Of course, Sister Shishi, let's go see her again this weekend. I don't believe Lu Beiting will suddenly come out to speak for her this time!"

7:30 p.m., Starry Night Restaurant.

The number one Western restaurant in the capital is luxurious and extravagant, with an atmosphere of decadence permeating the air.

Lin Qian works part-time as a restaurant server here. She's been doing it for several weeks now, earning about eight or nine hundred yuan a week.

She was beautiful, elegant, well-educated, and efficient; she passed the interview after just one round.

Not far away, Xu Feier held a champagne glass in one hand and had her other arm around Xia Tingshi's wrist, saying smugly:

"See? I told you she works part-time at these high-class places after her regular job, probably just trying to hook up with rich guys!"

Xia Tingshi smiled gently, "Are you still unable to swallow your anger from before?"

"If she dares to splash me, I dare to splash her back! Sister Shishi, I just can't swallow this for you. How dare someone like her hold hands with Lu Beiting? She's not even worthy to carry Lu Beiting's shoes."

-

The top floor of the headquarters of Platinum Group.

Lu Beiting glanced casually at the person who had barged into the office, his voice indifferent:

"What trouble have you gotten into this time that I have to clean up your mess?"

"How could that be!" Xiao Si braced himself on his desk, speaking with righteous indignation. "Brother Lu, I'm doing this for your happiness, okay?!"

Lu Beiting remained expressionless as he continued reviewing the documents in his hand. "Then you can get out."

Just as Xiao Si was about to retort, he inadvertently glanced at Lu Beiting's computer screen.

He was completely dumbfounded when he saw it.

The screen didn't display a contract, nor a financial report...

It's actually a beginner's video tutorial on cooking porridge?!

Xiao Si was dumbfounded: "What the heck? When did you become a stay-at-home husband? What kind of route is this, the husband route?"

Everyone knows that Lu Beiting, the head of the Bosheng Group, is ruthless and decisive, and never hesitates to fight back in the business world.

But the miserable workers in the building, who were all working overtime, had no idea that their boss was actually watching a beginner's porridge-making tutorial in his office.

Lu Beiting calmly turned off the video tutorial and dialed the internal phone:

"A stranger broke into my office. I kicked him out."

"No, no, no!" Xiao Si shook him awake, "I came here specifically to bring you news. Your ex-girlfriend, Lin Qian, is working as a waitress in a restaurant now!"

"Oh, I know," Lu Beiting looked at him, without any emotion. "So what? What does it have to do with me? I'm not her boyfriend."

After saying that, he acted as if it were none of his business and continued signing the documents with his pen.

"Um..." Xiao Si paused, "But the two people who had a conflict with your ex-girlfriend at the bar last time were also there, Xu Feier and Xia Tingshi."

The voice just fell.

Lu Beiting paused, the ink spreading and staining the document.

His expression darkened slightly. "Then why are you only telling me now?"

Xiao Si: "..."
