Chapter 182 A Battle of Wits and Courage

Yan Zhi froze, slowly turning around to look at Leng Linli: "Why?"

"You don't know, Zhuang Yan doesn't seem like a good person. I don't like you having any contact with him outside of work." Leng Linli hesitated.

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhi smiled gently: "President Leng, it's just a regular meal to chat about work. It's not as complicated as you think."

"And... I have to go to this meal today." There was an unyielding determination in Yan Zhi's eyes.

Leng Linli looked at Yan Zhi's appearance, somewhat dazed.

But Yan Zhi had never been so...determined when it came to matters concerning him.

"...Okay." After a long pause, he uttered a single word in a cold and sharp voice.

Yan Zhi turned and left the office.

Watching Yan Zhi's departing figure without looking back, Leng Linli's eyes were dark and unfathomable.

It was almost lunchtime when Chief Secretary Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly appeared in front of Yan Zhi's workstation, carrying a stack of documents and placing them on Yan Zhi's desk: "Secretary Yan, the president said these documents should be completed before lunchtime."

There's not much time left before lunch, and this stack of documents is quite a lot!

Yan Zhi knew that Leng Linli was doing it on purpose.

How childish!

Yan Zhi looked up at Tang Xiaoxiao, nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, and then continued to look down at the documents.

After Tang Xiaoxiao left, Yan Zhi turned her gaze to the door of the president's office.

Seeing the stack of documents, Su Rao gave Yan Zhi a look of shrug and said, "I have a project to finish right now, so I can't help you."

Yan Zhi smiled faintly at Su Rao: "Good girl, you go ahead with your work."

Did Leng Linli think he could stop her like this?

He really doesn't understand her!

It's just organizing documents, isn't it?

Yan Zhi's lips curled into a cold smile as she rapidly flipped through the documents in her hand with one hand and typed quickly with the other.

Before long, Yan Zhi printed out the document she had prepared and handed it to Leng Linli.

When Leng Linli saw Yan Zhi, he glanced at the time uncertainly. Ten minutes? She had organized all those documents in just ten minutes??

She was definitely hiding her true strength all along!

Having uncovered his employee's hidden talents, Leng Linli should have been overjoyed as the boss, but at this moment, he couldn't smile at all.

Leng Linli picked it up and opened it, his gaze seemingly fixed on the document, but his eyes were actually fixed on Yan Zhi out of the corner of his eye. He stared at Yan Zhi, his eyes filled with a complex and unreadable expression.

"Mr. Leng, I finished organizing these documents before lunch. May I go out for lunch now?" Yan Zhi looked up, meeting Leng's cold and deep eyes, and asked in a calm tone.

After a long silence, Leng Linli said, "I'll have to trouble you a bit more, Mrs. Leng. I have a few urgent documents that I need to use right away. My colleagues outside all have multiple projects on hand, but Mrs. Leng only has the Huasheng project at the moment, so I have no choice but to entrust it to you."

After saying that, Leng Linli looked at Yan Zhi, seemingly waiting for her answer.

Yan Zhi looked at Leng Linli and smiled. Leng Linli was just deliberately trying to prevent her from leaving, and he even came up with so many high-sounding reasons for it!

“Okay, Mr. Leng.” Yan Zhi agreed without hesitation.

"President Leng, you go ahead with your work, I'll head out now." With that, Yan Zhi quickly left the president's office with her new task in hand and returned to her workstation.

Leng Linli watched Yan Zhi disappear from sight, his eyes narrowed, and a cold and dangerous smile curved his lips.

She wants to go out to eat with other men? Humph, does she think he's some kind of decoration?

Less than twenty minutes later, Yan Zhi knocked on Leng Linli's door again.

Leng Linli's head throbbed when he heard the door open...

For the first time, Leng Linli was afraid to hear Yan Zhi knocking on the door, because her knocking meant that he couldn't keep her!

"Come in," Leng Linli said in a deep, cold voice.

Yan Zhi pushed open the door to the CEO's office and walked in unhurriedly: "President Leng, I've finished the work you assigned. It's almost lunchtime now, so I'll head out as planned."

Leng Linli looked at the woman whose eyes showed no emotion, his expression not very good. Yan Zhi had definitely been hiding her true abilities for the past six months. Otherwise, with her strength, she would be more than qualified to be the chief secretary. Her computer skills would easily surpass those of many secretaries!

"Okay." Leng Linli nodded, not stopping Yan Zhi from leaving.

As Yan Zhi came out of President Leng's office, Su Rao gave her two thumbs-up in admiration: "You're awesome, sis! From now on, I'm going to be your lapdog!"

As it turns out, you can slack off, but you can't be truly bad. Yan Zhi is a hidden master, and Su Rao is incredibly impressed.

Yan Zhi smiled faintly: "My legs are thick, you probably can't hug me."

"Hehe... I just love thick legs!" Su Rao shamelessly hugged Yan Zhi.

Leng Linli looked out through the glass and saw Yan Zhi looking calm, gentle and bright. He pursed his thin lips and dialed Wen Shichu's number: "Notify the president's office to have a lunch gathering. No one is allowed to be absent!"

After hanging up the phone, a smile finally appeared on Leng Linli's lips.

Mrs. Leng, let's see how you get out of here now...

Wen Shichu was very efficient and quickly notified the entire president's office.

Just as Yan Zhi was about to pack her things and leave, she received a message from Wen Shichu. Yan Zhi took a deep breath and smiled faintly.

Leng Linli, you're still a dog, aren't you!

Su Rao glanced at Yan Zhi and said, "Knowing you were going out, this is specifically targeting you."

Yan Zhi smiled faintly, calmly sat back down at her workstation, composed and unhurried, her slender fingers tapping away on the keyboard.

Leng Linli sat in front of the computer and saw Yan Zhi obediently return to her workstation through the glass. He was extremely satisfied.

He doesn't usually whistle, but he couldn't help whistling at this moment, his long, straight legs crossed and propped up on the desk.

In a great mood!

However, in the blink of an eye, Leng Linli suddenly couldn't play anymore!

He lowered his legs, sat up straight, and moved closer to the computer.

His computer seemed to be controlled by someone; he couldn't operate it even by clicking the mouse.

Someone hacked his computer!

Just as I was about to call the technical department, a dialog box popped up on my computer screen with the following message:

Yan Zhi requests leave at noon; please grant Leng's approval.
