She kept her marriage a secret for three years, then divorced and was forcefully pampered by a power

Zeng Qi'er looked at the leaders from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and shook hands with them in a graceful and generous manner.

"Director Liang, I'm so sorry, our General Manager Song has gone abroad and can't come back for the time being, so I have to act as his representative. I hope you will understand."

Director Liang laughed heartily: "President Song called me early this morning, saying that a smart, beautiful and capable secretary would be coming. Secretary Zeng is indeed better in person than just a name."

Han Yifei disliked this kind of bureaucratic pretense and insincerity the most.

"Does Director Liang mean that besides our Fit and the Meng Group, there's now another Song Qingyan involved?"

Shao Yan hadn't expected that Song Qingyan was involved.

Zeng Qi'er raised an eyebrow at Han Yifei, then smiled at him, revealing her unique feminine charm.

"Yifei, Director Liang is selecting candidates based on merit this time. In fact, in many ways, our Song Group is less competitive than your two companies. However—"

Zeng Qi'er paused for a moment, then continued, "I just returned from abroad with a major award in GLE programming. President Song recognized my abilities and poached me to the company with a high salary."

I've encountered such a discerning mentor, and I'm eager to repay General Manager Song's kindness. I also know that Director Liang's project is no small matter, so I've taken the liberty of giving it a try. I hope you two gentlemen will be lenient and go easy on me later—"

The last two words she uttered were rather ambiguous, and a cold, ruthless glint instantly appeared in Han Yifei's eyes.

Anyone who has spent some time in the tech industry knows that winning a prestigious programming award abroad means you can do whatever you want in China. What China lacks now is not talent in this field, but top-notch technical personnel.

Zeng Qier brought this up not just to show off, but because it was a goldmine. Some large companies are willing to risk everything to give shares to retain such top talent.

Therefore, these kinds of talents are usually also shareholders of large companies. They only talk about cooperation, and no one can poach them.

Han Yifei and Zeng Qier never had a real romantic relationship.

Over the years, he suppressed Meng Fei not only to vent his anger, but also because he couldn't stand him.

"Ha—that sounds nice, but we'll see."

Shao Yan stood silently to the side, because Director Liang had already noticed her because of her pretty face.

It was precisely because of her beauty that Director Liang was not too happy.

The two cadres following behind Director Liang also couldn't take their eyes off Shao Yan after seeing her.

"What kind of occasion would a Honda Fit use a honey trap?"

Zeng Qi'er stood next to Director Liang, speaking very softly, but Director Liang heard her clearly. Out of consideration for Han Yifei, he couldn't show his anger on the spot.

They greeted Han Yifei and Meng Yu with proper courtesy.

When Han Yifei was about to introduce Shao Yan, Director Liang deliberately skipped that part and said he would take them to his office for a detailed discussion.

Han Yifei noticed Director Liang's attitude and sighed, "It seems I really shouldn't have brought you here today."

Shao Yan lowered her eyes and did not react.

What kind of reaction could she have? If it were just a fight between men, she might still have a chance, but she never expected Zeng Qi'er to appear at this time.

Shao Yan doesn't have any impressive awards to show for herself; all she has is the practical experience she gained over the past three years working with Meng's Group and the business and technology giants of Beicheng.

She learned this skill from a netizen with the online name "International Cyber ​​Security Guard Dog." She couldn't figure out the other person's background, but what she learned from that person was basically undefeated in practice. The defense system she wrote for the Meng Group was also watertight, and even the hackers' dozens of attacks on the Meng Group were unsuccessful.

But if anyone asks her for any authoritative international awards or certifications, she really can't produce anything.

Shao Yan followed them into the office without saying a word. Director Liang discussed technical issues with Zeng Qier the whole time. Han Yifei didn't understand, and Meng Yu understood even less.

Zeng Qier and Director Liang chatted happily, and the two even felt as if they had known each other for a long time.

Director Liang was only in his early thirties, and he himself was a top student in the computer science department of Q University, so naturally he appreciated Zeng Qier even more.

As Shao Yan listened to their conversation, she secretly kept the questions that Director Liang raised in her mind.

Zeng Qi'er is quite capable; she has to admit that.

As a seasoned politician, Director Liang could tell that the two bosses were not experts in this field, so he respected their dignity and occasionally brought up a few unimportant suggestions to allow Meng Yu and Han Yifei to participate in the discussion.

As for Shao Yan, she was completely ignored by Director Liang.

Even Liang's two subordinates, noticing that Liang was deliberately ignoring Shao Yan, quickly turned their attention away from her.

The entire conversation lasted two hours, during which Shao Yan was completely ignored by Director Liang, as if she were invisible.

During the conversation, Director Liang suddenly changed the subject and looked at Shao Yan: "President Shao, this matter concerns the core secrets of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. You are not familiar with the contents of this document. Could you please—excuse me for a moment?"

With Director Liang's obvious intention to get rid of her, Zeng Qi'er could hardly hide the contempt on her lips.

Shao Yan showed no embarrassment and stood up gracefully.

"I'm going to the restroom, you guys continue."

She walked gracefully towards the door, and Meng Yu's gaze followed Shao Yan without him being able to look away.

It wasn't just Shao Yan's gentle and charming demeanor when she sat quietly, but also the feeling about her that Meng Yu found inexplicably familiar. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out where he had seen Shao Yan before.

Why do I always feel like I've known you for a long time?

Shao Yan splashed some icy cold water on her face in front of the bathroom mirror to clear her head.

She tried to sort out her chaotic thoughts, originally intending to show her skills, but—

Looking at her alluring reflection in the mirror, she couldn't help but give a wry smile.

As long as she shows her face, the whole world will only see her as a pretty face.

Shao Yan stayed for more than ten minutes without leaving.

This is the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission; she can't wander around aimlessly, otherwise it will cause trouble for the company.

"Come to the office. It's almost time to close. Director Liang asked me to invite you to dinner and have some drinks together."

Her phone contained a message from Han Yifei, informing her to return to the office.

Shao Yan's gaze fell on the words "have some wine".

She immediately understood what it meant.

Director Liang assumed that Han Yifei brought her along to engage in public relations.

"I'm not feeling well, I'd like to go back first."

"Mr. Shao, even if you are Attorney Huo's woman, we are doing business, and we must see things through to the end. Otherwise, you are really not suited for the workplace and should go back to getting married."

Han Yifei's message stung Shao Yan's eyes.

The phrase "Go back and get married"—once the things any woman could boast about—has now become the dirtiest insult.

Shao Yan's stubbornness immediately kicked in.

Without hesitation, she replied, "Who does President Han look down on?"

Even if she drinks herself to death today, she'll do anything to secure the projects from Liang Bureau and the company.

Han Yifei saw Shao Yan's message and smiled.

Director Liang craned his neck: "Where's General Manager Shao? He wouldn't have left, would he?"

Han Yifei smiled faintly: "No."

Then he opened WeChat on his phone, found the profile picture with the two plain rings that were labeled "Boss," and typed a few words: "As you instructed, I sent the information to General Manager Shao."

He simply changed a few words in the message his boss sent him.
