Ruan Xue blushed, pointed at her fingers, and pouted, saying, "I'm not a little scatterbrain."
Shao Hanjiang looked at her with amusement, smiling but saying nothing.
Unable to bear those gazes any longer, Ruan Xue covered her face and ran out of the office.
Shao Hanjiang rested his chin on his hand, watching Ruan Xue's fleeing figure, and said indulgently, "Silly girl."
The female secretary, who was holding documents and waiting for them to be signed, felt a chill run down her spine from the smear of those words.
Help!
My eyes and ears were covered in oil.
A seemingly aloof CEO can instantly transform into a slick, greasy monster; it's suffocating.
Shao Hanjiang caught a glimpse of his female secretary and snapped out of his reverie.
After a light cough, his gaze returned to its usual pie chart-like expression, his brows slightly furrowed.
The female secretary reminded him, "Mr. Shao, should we postpone the meeting? Would you like to change your clothes?"
"Okay, pass the word down, postpone it by half an hour."
"OK."
The female secretary, who had just stepped out of the door, shook off the goosebumps that covered her body.
After that, the atmosphere between the two became awkward, and the air in the president's office grew increasingly thick and heavy.
Every CEO has a Schrödinger's stomach ailment, which is usually harmless, but after meeting the female lead, it becomes comparable to cancer in an instant.
Even more miraculously, no medicine worked, but the female protagonist would rub her hands together and cook a bowl of white porridge, and she would immediately be fully recovered.
It's as if the female lead is a spirit of the 995 stomach medicine.
Shao Hanjiang gradually fell in love with Ruan Xue, while Ruan Xue was instantly captivated by Shao Hanjiang from the first moment she saw him.
Not long after, Ruan Xue accidentally tripped and fell on Shao Hanjiang, and they ended up kissing.
Then, neither of them got up, and they just started kissing each other in perfect unison, making a stringy, chewy mess.
The female secretary, who witnessed everything, was numb.
What kind of idiocy is this? You can't even walk on flat ground and you still fall down?
What kind of man with kidney deficiency could be pinned to the ground by a woman?
Also, does it have a magnet on its mouth? How can it hit the ground so accurately when it falls?
That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous.
Regardless of the female secretary's inner turmoil, the male and female leads finally confessed their feelings and got together after their intimate encounter.
The president's office became a place for the two to flirt, and Ruan Xue's workstation became Shao Hanjiang's lap.
The aloof CEO was melted by the innocent and naive female lead, and his perpetually sullen face finally broke into a smile.
The old butler, with tears streaming down his face, said, "After all these years, the young master has finally smiled."
The female secretary had to muster up a lot of courage every time she knocked on the door, repeatedly recalling her bank card balance before she could muster the courage.
Once, after delivering documents, the secretary overheard Shao Hanjiang say something in a low voice as he closed the door.
"Little thing, don't move around. You're playing with fire. If you move again, you'll face the consequences."
Then came a series of indistinct, meaningless sounds.
The female secretary was so frightened that she quickly closed the door and gulped down a glass of iced Americano to calm her nerves.
It's so damn hard to make money, and life is so tough.
Shao Hanjiang is indeed the president, but he doesn't call the shots in the Shao family, at least not yet.
Their relationship was soon discovered, and Shao Hanjiang's mother went to the company and threw a check in Ruan Xue's face.
The jeweled lady said disdainfully, "Here's five million. Get out of my son's sight."
Ruan Xue looked humiliated: "You can look down on me, but you can't insult our love."
"Oh."
Shao's mother completely ignored her. She was a woman too, not one of those lust-driven, blind men.
What "green tea bitch" or "pure white lotus"? Those are all things she's already done back then. Only these scumbag men like that kind of thing.
Shao Hanjiang shielded Ruan Xue behind him, preparing to confront his mother, but she only asked a casual question:
"Shao Hanjiang, do you want the company's inheritance or her? Choose one."
Shao Hanjiang hesitated.
He wasn't the only heir in the Shao family; his mother was the one who truly held the power.
One of the conditions for becoming the heir to the Shaw Group was that he had to marry into the Cheng family.
He's not strong enough to refuse an arranged marriage yet. If he dares to speak up, the CEO position will be replaced in a heartbeat.
As expected, Shao Hanjiang didn't dare utter a word, and a heartbroken Ruan Xue ran out of the office.
The female secretary clearly saw Shao Hanjiang's fear and disgust towards his mother, and thought to herself, "No wonder he likes a mentally challenged innocent girl like Ruan Xue."
So it turns out he couldn't handle a strong woman.
Since they are destined to be together, it's impossible for things to end like this.
Ruan Xue seemed to have forgotten her previous worthless state. Her dead self-esteem suddenly revived, and she not only resigned from her job but also broke up with Shao Hanjiang.
Shao Hanjiang was reluctant to give up power, nor did he want to abandon Ruan Xue, so the two began a tug-of-war.
"Shao Hanjiang, my heart is dead. Let's break up and never see each other again."
"No, you are mine. Without my permission, you will never leave me in this lifetime."
"Please, I beg you, please let me go."
"You really want to leave me? Let me tell you, not unless I'm dead."
"Woman, you can't escape."
After that, she fled, he chased, and she had no way to escape.
This is where our cannon fodder second male lead comes in to drive the plot forward.
Qin Yu was peacefully staying at a hotel when Ruan Xue barged into his room.
She bumped into his arms, grabbed his sleeve, and pleaded in a panic, "Someone is chasing me, please help me."
For some reason, Qin Yu felt dizzy the moment he saw Ruan Xue, and a fateful voice seemed to be telling him something.
You must love her, protect her, and be willing to give everything for her.
When Qin Yu looked at Ruan Xue again, he immediately felt that the girl in front of him was the only pure white jasmine flower in his life.
Afterwards, under Qin Yu's protection, Ruan Xue was not found by Shao Hanjiang.
Qin Ze and his wife were deeply in love, and the early Qin family business was built by the two of them from scratch.
After their careers stabilized, the couple decided to have a child. They hadn't had one before because they wanted to provide their child with a stable and affluent life.
Unfortunately, fate was cruel to the lovers. During childbirth, the wife suffered a sudden amniotic fluid embolism, leaving behind her father and son before passing away.
Qin Ze was heartbroken and even considered going with her, but seeing his baby son crying in his swaddling clothes, he had no choice but to take on the responsibility of being a father.
For the next twenty years, no matter how many women came his way, he never remarried, spending his time taking care of his son and focusing on his work.
By the time Qin Yu came of age, the Qin family had become one of the top conglomerates in the city.
The father and son depended on each other for survival. Qin Yu was well-educated by Qin Ze and became exactly the man the couple had dreamed of back then.
Qin Ze's health has been deteriorating over the years, so he handed over the company to Qin Yu to manage long ago, and Qin Yu has done a very good job.
The Qin family also has some businesses overseas. Qin Ze instructed Qin Yu to integrate these overseas businesses and move them all back when the time is right.
Upon learning this, Ruan Xue asked Qin Yu to take her with her.
"Brother Qin, I want to leave this place of sorrow. Can you take me with you?"
She bit her lip, her face innocent and pure: "Brother Qin, I know my request is unreasonable, but only you can help me. I'm so scared, I only feel safe when I'm by your side."
