In the afternoon, during a departmental meeting.

Manager Zhao praised Xu Feier for her outstanding contributions to the project, awarding her a bonus of 20,000 yuan.

Xu Feier's cheeks flushed slightly, her voice so sweet it seemed to drip with moisture, and she feigned modesty as she said:

"Actually, it's all thanks to everyone. I was just lucky. I will continue to work hard to contribute to the company in the future, and I hope we can all cooperate amicably."

Manager Zhao smiled broadly and clapped for her, but his shrewd eyes kept glancing at Lin Qian.

Lin Qian was wearing a plain white shirt today, with the buttons fastened at the very top.

Her hair was long, straight, and silky black, draped over her chest without any adornment, pure and innocent.

Especially when she was taking notes at the meeting, her slender wrists were exposed, dazzlingly white, making one's heart flutter.

She exuded a gentle and aloof temperament, like a secluded orchid in a valley, which was something that ordinary beauties like Xu Feier could not match.

Manager Zhao squinted, silently swallowed, and felt a sudden dryness in his mouth.

Chen Xiaopan secretly nudged Lin Qian's elbow and muttered a curse:

"Haha, it's so nice to have connections. We work our butts off like slaves, and she pockets all the bonuses. Did she put in even the slightest effort? Could she even understand the project proposal?"

"I stayed up all night writing proposals, my dark circles are about to fall out, and I'm almost bald, and all I get is nothing! I don't even deserve a name!"

When you encounter someone in the workplace who gives you preferential treatment, you inevitably feel unfair and uncomfortable.

Moreover, Chen Xiaopan had just graduated from university, and she couldn't hide her expression. It was only after Lin Qian nudged her with her leg under the table that she regained her composure.

If it weren't for the fact that it's a well-known company with good prospects and benefits, plus the fact that it's been hard to find a job these past few years, she probably wouldn't have been able to stand it and would have switched jobs.

An hour and a half later, the meeting ended, and Manager Zhao said slowly:

"Lin Qian, you stay here for a moment, everyone else can leave."

The departing colleagues would occasionally glance at Lin Qian, their eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.

Before long, only two people remained in the large conference room.

Lin Qian's eyelids twitched. "Manager, did you need something?"

Manager Zhao stood up, walked directly to the chair next to her, and sat down, his gaze unabashedly fixed on her neck.

"I know you were the main person in charge of this project before, but ultimately the decision-making power is still in my hands."

Manager Zhao tapped his fingers absently on the table. "Your business skills are indeed excellent, but ability alone is not enough. People also need opportunities, connections, and backgrounds."

The background is the most important factor.

He has only a junior college diploma and is not very knowledgeable or talented. He was able to secure the position of general manager entirely thanks to the support of his family.

"Lin Qian, you're young and beautiful, and as far as I know, you're single right now, aren't you? You don't even have a boyfriend."

Lin Qian's gaze turned cold. "Manager, what does this have to do with me being single?"

Manager Zhao licked his lips and smiled meaningfully, "Because I like single young women, I'm willing to be your background. Think it over carefully."

"Holy crap, did that skinflint really say that? He's so desperate for women, his mind is filled with this kind of filthy stuff. I hope he ejaculates prematurely!"

On the other end of the phone came Qiao Shuang's angry roar.

Lin Qian had just sat down at home when she started a video call with her best friend.

She sighed and rubbed her temples. "I recorded it, but what he said is useless. If I didn't have to pay a penalty for leaving now, I would have found another company."

At the same time, the sound of a key turning came from the door.

Song Yugang finished his part-time job and returned home with his schoolbag on his back.

He has beautiful and well-proportioned features, with a pair of captivating eyes that seem to sparkle like stars, and an air of refined elegance.

He was slender and upright, wearing a white t-shirt and a gray baseball cap, looking clean and neat.

Song Yu, carrying the milk tea he bought for Lin Qian, quietly looked at the woman sitting on the sofa, unconsciously clenching his fingers.

Lin Qian was outgoing, and her attention was entirely focused on her best friend's face.

Qiao Shuang's voice was loud, "I have a solution! Your boss has a peculiar fetish, he likes single virgins, right? Then you can just find another boyfriend, he wouldn't try to take advantage of you again, would he?"

Lin Qian took a sip of water and almost choked. "Where am I supposed to talk to them?"

Three years ago, after breaking up with Lu Beiting, she had no intention of dating again.

Moreover, given her current family circumstances, she simply doesn't have the energy to travel around earning money.

Qiao Shuang: "It's not like I'm really asking you to have a boyfriend. Just grab any guy and pretend, just pretend for a bit. Having a boyfriend is better than being single. Some people just treat people differently based on who they are. You'd better find a muscular hunk, the kind who looks strong and could kill ten people with one punch, then no one will dare mess with you."

"Great idea," Lin Qian nodded gratefully. "I'll consider it. Thank you!"

"Hehe," he blew her a kiss, "Love you, baby, I'll hang up now~"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Qian opened her phone with a worried expression, wondering if she should hire a male actor online.

A soft, quiet sound suddenly came from the doorway.

Lin Qian suddenly turned around.

Song Yu was silently changing his shoes at the door. He walked over and sat down next to Lin Qian.

"Sister...I...I can help you."

After saying this, a faint blush rose to the tips of his ears.

Lin Qian didn't react for a moment. "What?"

Song Yu: "I overheard your conversation with your best friend earlier. It was about pretending to be her boyfriend."

He looked at Lin Qian sincerely, his eyes exceptionally clear. "Although I don't look strong enough, I will never let anyone bully you, sister. Please believe me, okay? Besides, others don't know you well enough. What if they find out?"

Lin Qian paused for a moment, "But wouldn't that be too much trouble for you..."

"No way!" Song Yu immediately explained anxiously, his neck turning slightly red. "Anyway, the place where I usually work part-time passes by your company, so I can pick you up and take you home together. It won't cause any trouble."

He finished speaking in one breath, then slowly added, "Sister, I'd be happy to help you..."

A sleek Bugatti Veyron drives smoothly on the highway.

Inside the car, bright lights slowly descended, illuminating Lu Beiting's aloof and dignified profile, making his features appear even more profound.

He sat in the back row, flipping through documents expressionlessly. After a while, he leaned back in his leather chair, looking irritated.

It felt like a thorn was deeply embedded in my heart, sharp and cold.

He frowned in frustration, tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and tried to clear his mind, but a gentle and elegant figure kept popping into his head.

Soft lips, a slender waist, soft, panting breaths, and the lingering pink marks on the woman's snow-white skin...

It is tempting to pick and taste.

He had refrained from contacting her for the past few days, but unexpectedly, she didn't take the initiative to contact him either.

That's really great.

Lu Beiting suddenly opened his eyes, suppressing his anger, and said, "Turn around and go to that woman's company."

Assistant Gao: "Okay!"

He changed his route at the last minute, but couldn't help but mutter to himself:

Which other woman could it be? It must be Mr. Lu's ex-girlfriend whom he can't forget.
