Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

Liu Ruyan draped half her body over Lin Shi as they slowly walked through the staff area.

Her captivating fox-like eyes would occasionally sweep across the employees' computer screens, and she would sometimes lightly part her red lips to encourage them to work harder.

"Work hard, and I promise you, you'll all get your performance bonuses this month."

"If it's too short, I'll personally pay for the rest!"

She had the air of a boss's wife: If you behave well in front of me, I'll have the boss give you a bonus later.

If it were an ordinary employee, seeing Liu Ruyan's beautiful face and hearing her confident speech, they would definitely be filled with enthusiasm.

However, the employees at Yorozuya, a small business, are quite diverse. They are either highly capable or "wear many hats".

In an instant, all employees were categorized into several states:

The person sent by Liu Ruyan remained calm and composed, even managing a smile as they replied, "Understood, President Liu, we will definitely do our best!"

However, the people sent by Su Ningshuang and Shen Zhixiao, especially the staff who were given special tasks, broke out in a cold sweat when they saw this scene.

The moment Lin Shi and Liu Ruyan stepped out of the company gate, the office area erupted in chaos:

"Team leader, I had an upset stomach at lunchtime, I need to go to the restroom."

"Team leader, it's my first day at work, and I'd like to treat everyone to coffee. I'll go buy some right now, I'm running!"

An employee, slow to react, watched as all the good excuses were snatched away. He gritted his teeth, made a snap decision, and stamped his foot:

"Team leader! My wife just messaged me saying she's going into labor! I'm on my way to the hospital."

"What a coincidence, my wife is about to give birth too! I have to go too."

"My dad got a minor injury. The two women in front of me, the ones whose wives are pregnant, wait for me."

The department heads waved their hands, letting their employees leave as they looked anxious, their hearts already numb.

As highly capable employees, they didn't receive any special tasks. They were simply told to help the Yorozuya's business flourish and to be more lenient when employees wanted to take leave.

but!

The team leaders looked at the office area, which had just been packed, and suddenly had 30% more empty space, and they kept shouting in their hearts.

Is this even a company?!

What are they trying to do?!

This company won't last more than a few years before it goes bankrupt. Is it too late for me to switch jobs now?

Those employees who hadn't received special assignments were left looking at each other, completely bewildered by the current situation.

In particular, the two or three employees sent by Natsuno were already few in number and had not been given any special missions; they were from a somewhat insignificant department like the security department.

Looking at the empty seats next to them, they scratched their heads and exchanged glances.

What happened?

It's just that President Lin was seen going out with a woman.

The next second, a sense of crisis finally popped into their not-so-bright minds. Several people jumped to their feet and rushed out:

However, all the basic and reasonable reasons have already been used, and their not-so-bright minds can't come up with any new methods.

They didn't even care about rationality. They turned to the team leader and started rambling on:

"My wife said someone bullied our dog. I need to go back and comfort him."

"I...I miss my mom. I'll go back to see her for a bit and then come right back."

As the last security guard disappeared through the door, the supervisor could no longer contain his anger and slammed the employee attendance sheet on the table.

"This is outrageous! What kind of ridiculous reason is this?!"

"If you really can't do it, you can just copy the excuses from before. How am I supposed to write a leave request like this?!"

Meanwhile, Lin Shizheng, the protagonist of "Center of the Storm," calmly led Liu Ruyan to the parking lot.

He took out the somewhat heavy Audi key and pressed the unlock button.

Liu Ruyan suddenly intervened, snatching the car keys from the car and throwing them into the vehicle.

"I won't drive this car. You're my boyfriend now. If my dad sees you driving this, he'll immediately know what's going on."

As she spoke, she pulled a new key with a sharp design from her bag, waved it in front of Lin Shi, and then dragged him to the innermost corner of the parking lot.

A bright red sports car with aggressive lines appeared before Lin Shi's eyes.

"Ferrari SF90 Stradale, track red."

(There are pictures of sports cars at the end of the article; they're really cool!)

As Liu Ruyan spoke, she pressed her body close to Lin Shi, placing the still-warm key into his hand, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at him:

"Do you like it? I ordered it especially for you, it's a gift."

However, at this moment, Lin Shi was completely oblivious to any "gentle gaze" and focused all his energy on SF90.

He already had a passion for sports cars, and that passion only intensified after acquiring master-level driving skills.

"I love it! This is so cool!"

Lin Shi's eyes lit up, and he even unconsciously let go of Liu Ruyan's arm, lunging towards the car.

Huge carbon ceramic brake discs, signature yellow calipers, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. The V8 engine layout is visible through the transparent hood, and the overall design of the car is incredibly sleek.

OMG!!!

Lin Shi's heart trembled.

Standing to the side, Liu Ruyan watched Lin Shi gazing at the car parts with such affection, and suddenly felt a mix of emotions.

The good news is that the car he sent has captured Lin Shixin's heart; it will definitely make Shen Zhixiao's 911 look like dust.

The bad news is that the gift was a little too good; Lin Shi's attention is now completely on the car. He's been throwing himself at a blind man!

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down:

It's okay, it's okay, take your time. We'll replace Shen Zhixiao's car today, and the feelings tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow... hehehehehe.

Liu Ruyan fell into a fantasy once again.

After waiting a moment, Lin Shi finally came to his senses from his previous frenzy. When he looked up, he saw Liu Ruyan's face, which was slightly flushed from being "neglected".

I suddenly felt a little embarrassed. After all, the person kindly gave me a car, and I ended up neglecting them without realizing it. That was really inappropriate.

And this isn't just a friendship anymore, she's my godmother!!! I absolutely cannot betray her trust; I must see this "contract boyfriend" relationship through to the end!!!

Clearing his throat, he began to speak:

"Ruyan, shall we set off?"

Liu Ruyan was brought back to her senses by Lin Shi's voice, and covered her slightly flushed cheeks with her hands:

"Yes, let's go, let's go."

Then he quickly walked to the passenger seat of the vehicle, leaving Lin Shi with only his back view.
