What are you doing, Mr. President? I'm just an extra!

The CEO's office is very large.

It's ridiculously big.

The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of the entire city's riverfront, and the floor is covered with thick Persian carpets that make absolutely no sound when you step on them.

A faint, cool fragrance wafted in the air, exactly the same as the scent on Su Feiyan's body.

Lu Li's workstation was right across from Su Feiyan's huge desk.

It's called a workstation, but it's really just a temporary mahogany desk that was moved in. It's a bit small, but the chair is genuine leather and it's fairly comfortable to sit in.

The problem is, this location is too close.

As soon as Su Feiyan looked up, she could see how many icons were on his computer screen, and even count how many gray hairs were on his head.

How can I slack off like this?

How can you get paid to poop like this?

This is practically like being in jail!

Su Feiyan is reviewing documents.

She was very focused when she worked, with her gold-rimmed glasses perched on her high nose bridge, and a Montblanc pen in her hand, occasionally making a few marks on the documents.

That decisive and ruthless aura makes you feel like a cold wind is blowing against your face.

Lu Li shrank back, turned on his computer, and pretended to look at his schedule.

In fact, his gaze was fixed on the red countdown timer in the lower right corner of his field of vision, a timeline that only he could see.

[Reverse Strategy Mission: 6 days, 21 hours, and 15 minutes remaining.]

The frequency with which these numbers are jumping is no different from a death knell.

[It’s over. 】

At this rate, I have less than a week left to be a complete man.

[How to get this female demon to confess her feelings?]

Lu Li secretly glanced at Su Feiyan across from him.

Just then, Su Feiyan frowned, tossed a document aside, and snorted coldly.

"These incompetent people in the finance department, how dare they show me this kind of report?"

Startled, Lu Li quickly lowered his head and frantically typed a string of gibberish.

Listen, listen.

[That tone, that murderous intent.]

Forget about confessing my feelings; I'd be grateful if she didn't chop me up and feed me to the dogs.

This mission is practically pushing me to my limits!

If I had the ability to make a top-tier, aloof female CEO pursue me, would I still be just some random nobody?

Su Feiyan paused slightly in her grip on the pen.

She lifted her eyelids and glanced at Lu Li through her glasses.

Passerby A?

Does this little rascal have some misunderstanding about his own position?

Who would be a nobody who can sleep in the CEO's house and have the CEO personally serve him fried eggs?

and……

Su Feiyan's lips twitched slightly.

What is meant by "complete man"?

Her gaze involuntarily drifted downwards, lingering for half a second on a spot partially obscured by Lu Li's table.

interesting.

It seems they've got something on me, so they have no choice but to try and please me.

Sure.

Let's see what tricks you can come up with.

Su Feiyan withdrew her gaze and continued to review the documents, but her ears were perked up even more than before.

Lu Li was still struggling with the decision.

A direct assault definitely won't work.

This type of woman is impervious to both soft and hard approaches, and completely unyielding to reason.

It seems that we have no other choice but to use that method.

[It nourishes things silently.]

[By starting with the details of daily life, I showed my gentle and considerate side, slowly melting her heart of stone like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.]

That's right, that's exactly it.

Having made up his mind, Lu Li stood up.

"President Su."

Su Feiyan didn't even look up: "Speak."

"Um, I've seen you've been reviewing documents for quite a while now, how about... having some tea to soothe your throat?"

Lu Li put on what he thought was his most sincere smile.

Su Feiyan put down her pen, took off her glasses, and rubbed her temples.

"Can you brew tea?"

"I know a little, I know a little."

Lu Li didn't waste any words and turned to walk to the tea station next to him.

There was a set of Yixing teapots that looked incredibly expensive.

Although the system hasn't unlocked the [Tea Ceremony Master] skill for him yet, he does have the [Master-level Massage Technique], and his control over force is superb, so brewing tea should be a piece of cake for him.

Wash the tea, brew it, seal the pot, and serve it to the cups.

The movements were fairly smooth and fluid.

Two minutes later.

A steaming cup of Da Hong Pao tea was placed next to Su Feiyan.

The tea soup is bright red and has a wonderful aroma.

Su Feiyan raised an eyebrow in surprise.

This kid actually has some skills.

She picked up the teacup, gently blew on the steam, and took a small sip.

It has a sweet aftertaste and the temperature is just right.

"good."

Su Feiyan gave her evaluation.

Lu Li was secretly delighted.

[There's hope!]

[First step successful!]

The next step is crucial.

According to Chapter 3, Section 5 of "The Love Handbook," adding a well-chosen romantic phrase at this moment can be the perfect finishing touch.

Although it's a little embarrassing, it's all for my happy life!

Lu Li watched as Su Feiyan put down her teacup, his Adam's apple bobbing.

He rested his hands on the edge of the desk, leaning slightly forward, trying to make his eyes look affectionate.

"President Su."

Su Feiyan put her glasses back on and picked up the pen: "Is there anything else?"

Lu Li swallowed hard, his voice low and deep: "Actually, this tea... isn't as sweet as yours."

The air suddenly became quiet.

The silence was like being at a disco in the middle of the night on a grave when the music suddenly went out.

Su Feiyan's pen trembled violently.

The pen tip left a long ink mark on the pristine white paper, tearing through the signature panel.

She slowly raised her head.

Those beautiful phoenix eyes were now filled with the question, "Is this person crazy?"

Holy crap!

[Did I go a little too far?]

[This cheesy pickup line is a hundred times more cheesy than I imagined!]

My toes are already digging into the floor; could you possibly carve out a three-bedroom apartment out of this carpet so I can crawl into it?

Lu Li's expression of deep affection was almost too much to bear, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch.

但他不敢动.

I could only grit my teeth and maintain that posture, like a robot stuck in a cassette tape.

Seeing Lu Li's near-collapse, Su Feiyan's inner voice was already rolling on the floor laughing.

Not as sweet as you?

It's amazing that he could come up with such an outdated line from decades ago.

This little rascal really went all out to please her.

but……

Although it's incredibly unsophisticated.

Although it was shiny with oil.

But this was the first time a man had dared to say such a thing to her face.

All those young men who used to fawn over her were trembling with fear, afraid of saying the wrong word and being blacklisted by her.

This feeling...

It's not bad.

Su Feiyan suppressed the urge to smile, her face turning icy.

"Lu Li".

"Here!" Lu Li immediately stood at attention.

"Are you out of your mind?"

Su Feiyan looked at him coldly: "Did you forget your brain in the elevator when you left home?"

"No...no."

"Then shut up."

Su Feiyan crumpled the torn document into a ball and threw it accurately into the trash can.

"If I hear that nonsense again, you'll go downstairs to the security booth and keep Big Yellow company at the gate."

"Yes, Mr. Su! I understand, Mr. Su!"

Lu Li felt as if he had been granted a pardon and scurried back to his seat.

He buried his face behind the computer monitor, his heart still pounding wildly.

[That scared me to death!]

[As expected, I knew this trick wouldn't work.]

[Those cheesy pickup lines are just asking for trouble.]

This iceberg is harder than ten-thousand-year-old black iron; it's completely untouchable!

It seems like those three centimeters are beyond saving...

Lu Li lay slumped on the table in despair, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

opposite.

Su Feiyan picked up another document.

This time, however, she stared at it for a full five minutes, but couldn't even get through the first line.

My mind is filled with the phrase "not as sweet as you" from earlier.

She reached out, picked up the teacup, and took another sip.

Actually, no sugar was added.

But it seems...

It's a little sweeter than before.

She added another entry to the little notebook in her mind called "Lu Li's Crime Record Book".

[Criminal charge: Harassing one's superior.]

[Punishment: Execution temporarily suspended.]
