I treated you like a godfather, and you actually dated my sister!

Bang~

The door closed, and Qu Man's tall figure trembled slightly as she raised her hand to support herself against the wall.

Huhu~

After resting for a moment, Qu Man lowered her arm from the wall and strode toward the elevator.

The morning fasted cardio session went very well. My little brother didn't overtrain her and was always considerate of her feelings, following her pace!

Although the exercise was just right, my legs still feel a little bit weak!

Leaning against the elevator, Qu Man recalled the scene just now, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

It's often said that young people are full of energy right after waking up, and it seems that's definitely true!

It's only because her dog feels sorry for her that she can't leave the house today!

"I don't know where you get all that energy every day. Why are you working out at such a young age? Now you're suffering, aren't you!"

Thinking of her bratty younger brother's embarrassing antics, Qu Man's lips curled up again.

It is said that a gentle embrace is a hero's grave, but for her, isn't a hero's grave also a gentle embrace?

Ding~

"President Qu."

"Um."

The elevator doors opened, and Jiang Shan, who had been waiting there, stepped forward to greet them and then respectfully handed over the folder in her hand.

"President Qu, today's meeting is scheduled for nine o'clock. Unnecessary appointments have been cancelled for you, but Chairman Qu in Shanghai called and asked you to come back."

"Did you say what it was about?"

Qu Man took the documents and quickly got into work mode, even her demeanor changed from that of a bewitching enchantress to that of a cool and aloof female CEO.

Last week, she was distracted at work because she, who had always disliked men, suddenly found someone she didn't dislike. She felt a sense of novelty and longing, and her desire to explore him was stronger.

It's like someone suddenly finding a game or novel that suits them, and they can't help but want to take a look at it even while working or eating.

She was in that mindset back then, and now that she's seen it and eaten it, her mind is naturally no longer wavering.

Especially after her morning fasted aerobic exercise, Qu Man can now confidently tell anyone that she is a ruthless work machine!

Abbreviation: Sage Mode?

"He didn't say, but Chairman Qu wants you to go back as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

Qu Man frowned, raised her wrist to check the time, and asked, "Have you checked the schedule?"

"Some of Mr. Qu's earliest high-speed trains depart at 9:30, and the earliest flights depart at 11:00."

"Is there anything else?"

Qu Man tossed the documents onto her seat and said that her bratty younger brother would affect her work efficiency.

In the past, she would have set off immediately, but now that her little brother is here, she has to change her work schedule.

Because my little brother said he would bring her lunch!

"Some of Mr. Qu's shifts, besides these two, also include 12:30, 1:00, and 2:10."

Qu Man's slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest of the chair before she spoke, "Go back and ask around in Shanghai. If it's not too urgent, book the 11 PM train."

"Okay, Mr. Qu."

After the conversation ended, Qu Man leaned back in her chair and pretended to doze off.

Although I wasn't sleepy after waking up, I still felt a bit tired!

Closing your eyes and taking a nap may not relieve physical fatigue, but it can help you recover faster.

The roads were a bit congested at this time, and while parking, Jiang Shan couldn't help but glance at their boss, Mr. Qu, in the rearview mirror.

Their boss Qu hasn't changed much; she's still as cold as ever. If she had to point out a difference, it would be that there's a clear red dot on her neck!

The red spots indicate that it was definitely planted not long ago!

Judging from the vibrancy of the color, Jiang Shan could confidently say that the one on their CEO Qu's neck definitely wouldn't last more than a day!

Looking at her aloof Qin Ze, Jiang Shan thought to herself, "Mr. Qin must have been badly beaten up for this strawberry, right?"

"If she hadn't been beaten so badly, why would this newly dating couple let her pick them up? Mr. Qin should have been the one to take them!"

"I can't even imagine the pressure Mr. Qin faces every time we kiss!"

Jiang Shan, who was on the front lines of gossip, never imagined that their boss, Qu, who could freeze people to death, would always be the one to speak first!

Compared to when she's at the office, at home she's either a fairy or a whiny whiner!

Especially when the Mr. Qin she mentioned isn't around, their CEO Qu can really let loose and post whatever she wants!

Jiang Shan secretly observed, hoping to glean some new gossip from their CEO Qu!

Perhaps because of the intense gaze, Qu Man slowly opened her eyes after only a short while.

Qu Man glanced at her assistant and frowned: "What's up?"

The voice was cold and devoid of any warmth.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan shrank back. Although her boss, Mr. Qu, usually spoke like that, she felt guilty and always had the feeling that he wanted to kill her!

"Heh...everyone...well, Mr. Qu, I feel you need one of these!"

Jiang Shan's mind raced, and she reached into her bag and took out a pink band-aid with a little bear on it, handing it over!

"Hmm?" Qu Man took the band-aid and gave a puzzled "hmm".

Jiang Shan also very sensibly pointed to her neck to indicate the problem, and also handed her a small mirror.

An assistant should act like one. President Qu can't just tilt her head to look in the rearview mirror like that, can she?

Qu Man took the mirror but didn't look at herself right away. Instead, she tore off the band-aid first.

When Jiang Shan pointed to her neck, she was completely bewildered.

After all, she was the one who made the first move last night, so why wouldn't her little brother respond?!

The thought of returning to Shanghai with strawberries on her head gave Qu Man a headache.

It's good that they didn't see it. If they had, those two old folks at home who are so eager to get married would have come over and thoroughly examined my brat from head to toe.

It wasn't that she thought her little brother was embarrassing; she was just afraid that her parents would scare him!

The main problem is that her biological parents have been very worried about her since they found out she dislikes men. Her father used to want to support her for life, and he thought it would be better if she didn't get married.

After learning about the symptoms, her father wanted to bring all the men in the world to her and let her choose.

Her biological mother was even more outrageous. After learning that she was averse to men, she even suspected that she was having an affair with Bai Zhi. Her thought process was truly more bizarre than that of most young people!

Qu Man rubbed her forehead and looked at Jiang Shan: "Did you bring foundation?"

"I brought Mr. Qu with me, for your convenience."

Qu Man applied layer after layer of foundation to her neck. Luckily, her shirt didn't have a stand-up collar today, otherwise it would have been really difficult.

While waiting at the traffic light, Jiang Shan glanced back in the rearview mirror twice, and what she saw made her gasp in shock.

Goodness, one, two, three...

Jiang Shan's eyes widened. "So many! Has Mr. Qin already been beaten to death?!"

This is only what she can see; what about the places she can't see?

Jiang Shan glanced at the abyss in her boss Qu's eyes and swallowed hard.

Good heavens! My little brother is so brave now!

Mr. Bai was absolutely right, when looking for a man, you should look for a younger brother!
