After taking over the Gu family business, Gu Zhun spent a huge sum of money to buy the entire building.

The closer you are to the top floor, the closer you are to the company's power center.

Each floor is a different area; Shen Beitang is going to report to the Business Development Department.

It is the main department of the entire Gu family and a place where talents gather.

"Miss Shen."

Assistant Lin was already waiting at the elevator entrance on the 25th floor.

"I will guide you through the onboarding process today."

Assistant Lin, she remembered, was Gu Zhun's personal assistant along with Linda.

With him leading the way, it's as if he's declaring that Shen Beitang's backer is Gu Zhun.

From now on, I can do whatever I want at the company without any problems.

"Assistant Lin, I still want to handle the onboarding process myself. I'm just an intern, it's not appropriate for you to take care of me like this."

Assistant Lin was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained her professional smile, dispelling Shen Beitang's doubts.

"Ms. Shen, rest assured, our company is full of professionals. We would never do anything that would lower our standards, such as pursuing fame and fortune or treating people differently based on their status."

Since Assistant Lin has made such a guarantee, it would only make me seem pretentious to keep making excuses.

"Then I'll have to trouble Assistant Lin."

...

The Gu family's businesses cover almost all sectors, and the business development department is divided into different departments.

"Nanxi, I've brought you your new bride."

The two stood outside the door and heard the roar coming from inside.

"I've said it so many times: details. When shopping in a mall, customers pay the most attention to details!"

Shen Beitang had never heard such a powerful female voice before.

With such a volatile temper, it seems things won't be easy for him in the future.

A short while later, a little girl, sobbing, came out from inside, holding crumpled pieces of paper in her hand.

"Nanxi, I'm coming in."

Assistant Lin pushed open the door, and the room was filled with smoke. A pungent smell of smoke filled Shen Beitang's nostrils.

"Cough cough cough."

After coughing a few times, Shen Beitang realized that such behavior was very impolite and immediately covered his mouth.

"Nanxi, I've told you so many times, you can't smoke in the office. The company has a designated smoking area."

Assistant Lin covered his nose, seemingly used to this scene.

"So annoying!"

A short-haired woman stubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray and scratched her hair in frustration.

“My office is on the 27th floor, and the smoking room is on the first floor. The time difference in between is enough for me to review many proposals.”

Shen Beitang secretly sized up Nanxi. Her features weren't exactly delicate, but she had a confident and capable air about her, unlike other girls.

She was just wearing a baggy t-shirt and ripped jeans, completely disregarding her appearance.

"This is the new bride you sent?"

Nanxi made no attempt to conceal her feelings as she looked Shen Beitang up and down.

Upon hearing his name called, Shen Beitang stepped forward and bowed.

"Hello, Sister Nanxi. My name is Shen Beitang, and I study at..."

"stop!"

Nanxi waved his hand impatiently and fumbled to light another cigarette.

"I can read your resume before I introduce myself, it's too much trouble to just say it out loud."

Before, Shen Beitang was surrounded by either pitiful innocent girls or big shots who only knew how to do beauty treatments, flaunt their wealth, and buy handbags.

I've never seen a woman as irritable and individualistic as Nanxi.

"It's alright. Nanxi is like this to everyone. You don't need to take it to heart."

Worried that Shen Beitang might be intimidated by Nanxi's demeanor, Assistant Lin whispered words of comfort.

"It's alright, Assistant Lin, this is exactly what I needed."

Shen Beitang's eyes showed no fear, but were filled with light, eager to explore everything around him.

Assistant Lin brought her here to see Nanxi. Does this mean she'll be working for Nanxi from now on?

That's wonderful!

"Sister Nanxi, may I follow you from now on?"

"Um?"

Nanxi glanced at her and flicked her cigarette ash onto the unsigned agreement.

"With me? Who told you that? You're not qualified."

Assistant Lin glanced cautiously at Shen Beitang's expression and offered words of comfort.

"It's alright, Miss Shen, the seat next to Mr. Gu is still reserved for you."

"Sister Nanxi, I'll go wherever you tell me to go."

Shen Beitang didn't listen to what Assistant Lin was muttering earlier and directly expressed his feelings to Nanxi.

Assistant Lin felt a chill run down his spine when he heard those words.

Tears were streaming down her face, but she maintained a strong and calm demeanor, smiling and praising him.

"Miss Shen, you are truly fearless in the face of difficulties and fatigue, charging forward against them."

Mr. Gu, I can't complete the task you assigned me...

Nanxi also looked at Shen Beitang with surprise; she knew who this person was.

She was perfectly aware of Gu Zhun's intention in sending her to his side.

He just wanted his canary to give up and eventually come back to him.

But unexpectedly, Shen Beitang, who appears to be an idle peacock, is also a peacock who is not afraid of trouble.

It seems that from today onwards, things won't be peaceful for my men.

"Alright, I like a fearless newbie like you. Go report to Group A for official duties."

Although I didn't get the opportunity to work under Nanxi, the disappointment was overshadowed by the excitement of starting my first job.

After leaving the office, Assistant Lin wanted to make one last attempt to persuade her.

"Miss Shen, are you really not going to reconsider? With your abilities, standing at the top is more than enough for you."

Why suffer under someone else's thumb?

"Assistant Lin, did you become a special assistant by flattering others?" Shen Beitang retorted.

"Miss Shen, you can insult my appearance, but you can't insult my character."

Assistant Lin was stunned. He was a graduate of a world-class top university. How could he have gotten to his position by flattering someone so vulgar?

That's practically looking down on him.

and……

If flattery worked on Gu Zhun, he would have used it long ago...

"Then how can you lie through your teeth? My abilities? My abilities are even inferior to Nanxi's. What qualifications do you think I have?"

Shen Beitang straightened his work badge, pressed the elevator button, and said that Group A was on the 18th floor below.

"Since I'm going to stand by Gu Zhun's side, I don't need anyone else."

Assistant Lin stared at the closed elevator doors, feeling utterly hopeless, and was prepared to face Gu Zhun's brutal treatment.

This was the first time he had messed things up in the five years he had worked for Gu's Group.

Assistant Lin kept his head down, not daring to look at Gu Zhun's expression.

"Mr. Gu, that's how it happened."

He gritted his teeth, even though it violated his professional ethics and would become a stain on his otherwise spotless life.

But I'll do anything to make my boss happy!

"Mr. Gu, I have a way to coax Miss Shen back."

President Gu raised his eyes and said quietly, "What method?"

Assistant Lin crept furtively to the office, his face contorted with a treacherous air.

"How about I find someone to give Miss Shen a little trouble at work?"

"Miss Shen encountered setbacks at work, so naturally she remembered the good things you did for her, Mr. Gu, and that's why she came back."

Gu Zhun seemed very interested in the proposal.
