A single man checks into a couples' room; his life of ease and comfort begins.

Just as she was getting into it, Tang Xueyi's phone, which was on her desk, started vibrating incessantly.

Then there was another knock on the door, but Hao Qiangzhuang and Tang Xueyi were getting into the swing of things and didn't care about anything else.

The knocking on the office door became more and more frequent, making it seem as if the person knocking was about to break down the door at any moment.

Another ten minutes or so passed...

Everything was over, and a final, heavy knock came from outside the door, as if someone had used all their strength and cursed helplessly before leaving.

Hao Qiangzhuang straightened his collar and put on his watch, while Tang Xueyi also straightened her clothes.

From the first moment Hao Qiangzhuang saw her today, she was a resentful and jealous woman who had not received her husband's affection for a long time.

Now, the wildflowers, which were about to wither and die from the winter snow, were suddenly reborn when spring arrived, as if bathed in the spring breeze.

Nourished by the spring breeze and drizzle, she became radiant. She quickly cleaned up the scene, walked to the office door, opened it, and saw that everything seemed to be as she had expected.

It was Liu Qiangbei who had knocked on the door earlier. He knocked for a long time, but Tang Xueyi didn't come to open the door. He was so angry that he left his secretary and left.

His secretary was promoted from the public relations department. She had a good figure and appearance, was 1.71 meters tall, and had a curvaceous figure that made people want to take a second look.

The secretary, holding a folder and dressed in a business suit and high heels, glanced into the office with a smile and teased, "Manager Tang is so lucky!"

Tang Xueyi's expression held a hint of stubbornness as she forced a smile, but her words were defiant: "How can I compare to you, Miss Xin? I heard that President Liu proposed to you, didn't he? When are you planning to hold the wedding?"

Miss Xin looked embarrassed and said with a wry smile, "Manager Tang, please stop teasing me. You said you didn't know that President Liu loved you. I'm just a tool he uses to vent his loneliness."

Tang Xueyi, too lazy to continue arguing with her, cut to the chase and asked, "You didn't come here to talk about these things, did you? So, what's up?"

Miss Xin handed the folder to Tang Xueyi and said with a smile, "This time, we need to transfer twenty public relations staff from our public relations department to the Amethyst Hotel to discuss business. Please sign here!"

Tang Xueyi, however, was too lazy to lift her hand. She pushed the folder aside and said with a wry smile, "In the future, for things like this, just let me know and report it. There's no need for a signature."

This kind of thing is inherently shady, and Tang Xueyi dared not sign it, lest she give herself a handle to use against her and become a scapegoat when things went wrong.

"Fine! If you won't sign, then I'll take it up and tell Mr. Liu!" Ms. Xin used a feigned retreat to pressure Tang Xueyi by bringing up Liu Qiangbei.

Tang Xueyi ignored her, closed the door, walked to the sofa, snuggled up next to Hao Qiangzhuang, and whispered, "Brother Qiangzhuang, I don't want to do it anymore."

It was actually Tang Xueyi who requested to come here. Gu Jia initially planned to transfer Wang Hui because Wang Hui was interfering with her and Hao Qiangzhuang's secret affair.

Tang Xueyi brought it up herself, saying that she had no other choice but to come to the North District branch.

When she saw Hao Qiangzhuang again, the two spent some time together, but she took the initiative to say that she didn't want to do it anymore.

Hao Qiangzhuang asked, "What happened?"

Tang Xueyi lowered her head, tears welling in her eyes, and bit her lower lip tightly, saying with difficulty, "I can't stand Liu Qiangbei."

Hearing her say that, Hao Qiangzhuang sensed something was wrong and became conflicted. He couldn't help but ask, "Has he ever hurt you?"

"No." Tang Xueyi burst into tears: "I rented a place outside to avoid having anything to do with him, but every day when he's at work, he pretends to bring Xin Ziwan to the office to harass me. Xin Ziwan even stands guard outside his office every day."

That's just how people are; what they can't have always seems more alluring. Liu Qiangbei is all-powerful here; it wouldn't be surprising to call the entire HR department his harem.

These past few days, however, he has racked his brains, but Tang Xueyi has still rejected him.

Tang Xueyi's rejection caused Liu Qiangbei to experience a second sense of defeat. The first time was when he went to Hao Qiangzhuang to ask for Zhang Ziyi, but the second time it happened to Tang Xueyi.

In the northern branch, Liu Qiangbei could drive countless women crazy with just a few words. First there was Zhang Ziyi, and now there's Tang Xueyi.

The problem is that I've been completely open and honest with them, but they don't appreciate it at all.

At this moment, Liu Qiangbei was sitting angrily in the vice president's office on the top floor. Xin Ziwan, holding a folder, knocked on the door first, and only entered after Liu Qiangbei said, "Come in."

Liu Qiangbei glared at Xin Ziwan with a cold look and said in a low voice, "Have you signed it yet?"

Xin Ziwan lowered her head, frightened, and dared not look at Liu Qiangbei: "Manager Tang is unwilling to sign."

Liu Qiangbei snorted coldly, as if remembering something else: "By the way, after she opened the door, were there any other people inside?"

Xin Ziwan bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and said, "No, that's all."

Liu Qiangbei angrily retorted, "Now you're so wary of me? You're probably slacking off inside, sleeping, afraid I'll sneak in and mess with her!"

After exchanging words with Tang Xueyi, Hao Qiangzhuang left the personnel department and took the elevator to the seventh floor. He had come here specifically to see Liu Qiangbei.

He didn't know the specific reason, but a day ago, Gu Jia found Hao Qiangzhuang, handed him her phone, and Liu Qiangnan's voice came through: "Qiangzhuang, go to the North District branch tomorrow and find your third uncle. He will tell you the details then."

With a ding, the elevator came to a smooth stop on the seventh floor. Hao Qiangzhuang stepped out of the elevator and looked around. There were five private offices here, and the rest of the space was a luxurious entertainment venue.

These five offices are the Chairman's Office, the General Manager's Office, the Chief Financial Officer's Office, the Deputy General Manager's Office, and the Factory Manager's Office.

Currently, only the deputy general manager's office is in use, and the door is open. Upon approaching, one is met with an eyesore: Xin Ziwan is sitting at her desk, while Liu Qiangbei…

It's a complicated story. Just then, Hao Qiangzhuang appeared and made eye contact with him. Hao Qiangzhuang quickly took a few steps back to avoid what was happening in front of him.

Liu Qiangbei was so focused that he didn't notice anyone arriving. Although Xin Ziwan knew, she certainly couldn't say anything in this situation!

It would be so embarrassing to say it out loud, especially since Hao Qiangzhuang had already wisely backed down.

Hao Qiangzhuang stood outside the deputy general manager's office, just as Liu Qiangbei and his female secretary had stood at the entrance of the human resources manager's office a few hours earlier.

However, Hao Qiangzhuang did not disturb them. Instead, he quietly walked to the elevator, pressed the button, left the place, wandered around, and came back up in an hour or two.
