Chu Hongyu stared at the person in the mirror for a while, narrowed her eyes, turned around and looked directly into his eyes: "Will it be written into the contract?"
Ning Bingyu raised an eyebrow: "If you want it, you can."
Just as Chu Hongyu was about to speak, he slowly added, "But you're working illegally for the Hong Kong government now, so a contract or not doesn't really matter, right, Assistant Chu?"
He smiled slightly: "I don't have a habit of breaking my promises."
Chu Hongyu didn't speak, but suddenly reached out and gently hooked his tie with her fingertips, pulling it down.
Caught off guard, Ning Bingyu leaned forward slightly.
Their breaths were almost touching, nose to nose, close enough to feel the temperature of each other's skin.
His eyes darkened, his breathing became erratic, and his Adam's apple bobbed, almost as if he thought her beautiful lips were about to kiss him.
But the next moment...
"Hmm!"
He groaned, then suddenly felt a tightness in his throat!
Chu Hongyu held the tie knot with one hand and tightened the tie with the other, as if she wanted to strangle him.
She breathed softly in front of him, saying, "Yes, of course I believe that Young Master Ning has no habit of breaking his promises. After all, a big boss like him cannot stand without integrity."
She used a rough grip, but her tone became increasingly sweet and gentle: "But bosses always have a habit of deducting wages, so a contract still has to be signed. In Hong Kong, I work illegally, but in the mainland, I don't."
She smiled sweetly: "My job also includes helping you with matters in mainland China, doesn't it? This contract is enough to establish a binding agreement between us! It's all in black and white. You wouldn't want to go back to the mainland and be seen putting up big-character posters, would you?"
Ning Bingyu was struggling to breathe because she was choking him, but he only frowned unhappily and said, "Let go!"
Chu Hongyu loosened his tie, her fingertips lightly tracing its surface, as if nothing had happened, her tone both sweet and dangerous—
"I'm sorry, as your personal assistant, I noticed your tie was crooked and wanted to straighten it for you, but I didn't mean to use too much force."
Her eyes darted around, a hint of provocation in them: "You won't be angry with me, will you?"
Ning Bingyu looked at the face so close to his own. Her exquisitely beautiful face, bordering on aggressive, wore a seductive smile, yet her eyes held a chilling depth, as if she were looking at...
Well, according to her, they are called—class enemies.
A dark glint flashed in his peach blossom eyes. Was this woman provoking him?
"Of course not." Ning Bingyu chuckled and reached out to grasp her hand, which was still lingering on his tie.
He slowly and deliberately pulled off her slender fingertips, holding them in his palm and playing with them, his tone tinged with amusement: "Assistant Chu has been so dedicated, I'm more than grateful, how could I possibly blame you?"
Then, he lowered his head and said slowly in her ear, "If you want to help your boss next time, you can find a more comfortable way, otherwise you will really get your salary docked."
Chu Hongyu didn't dodge; instead, she stepped forward to meet him, her voice growing sweeter as she whispered in his ear, "Of course you can. May I make a request?"
Her soft, rich fragrance wafted around his ear with each breath, and Ning Bingyu paused, tightening his grip on her fingertips, a slight smile curving his lips: "Okay..."
There seemed to be an ambiguous atmosphere, or perhaps a contest, between the two.
But the next moment, she chuckled and said, "Boss, if you don't keep being so flirtatious all the time, my work will be easier, and I'll have more ways and time to help you make money."
She emphasized the word "slutty" very heavily, with a slight upward slant at the end.
Ning Bingyu froze for a moment.
Slut?
He suspected he had misheard.
Having lived for over thirty years and been with countless women, no one has ever dared to use this word to describe him.
Even Ning, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but be speechless at this moment.
Chu Hongyu seemed completely unaware of the shocking things she had said.
She still looked at him with a smile, her eyes clear, as if the provocative and mocking word "flirtatious" had come from someone else's mouth.
“…Slut?” He repeated the word as if he had heard some unbelievable joke.
Chu Hongyu suddenly straightened up, crossed her arms, and began to look Ning Bingyu up and down, looking exactly like a picky and mean-spirited aunt from a lane—
"Young Master Ning, do you know what I mean? Your attire, your tone of voice, your demeanor—from head to toe, you exude an aura that seduces women!"
"For example, just now, I knew that you were my superior and subordinate discussing future work, but I didn't know that you, Young Master Ning, were flirting and seducing women!"
Her thick Shanghai accent made Ning Bingyu, who had lived in Shanghai for a year, turn pale: "Chu Hongyu, watch your words!!"
Him? Seduction? He needs to seduce women!
Chu Hongyu blinked her fox-like eyes, clutched her chest, and sighed—
"Young Master Ning, I know my words may be harsh, but please don't take offense. I'm just offering honest advice, even if it's hard to hear, it's good for you. You're my boss, and I'm doing this for your own good!"
"For your own good!" "Since you're already here!" "It's the Lunar New Year!" — These are three of the most common Chinese sayings, and they're universally applicable!
Sure enough, Ning Bingyu choked back a word: "You're doing this for my own good—"
Chu Hongyu raised her meticulously manicured eyebrows, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness, yet incredibly sharp—
"Of course! Why would they pounce on you? If you don't want women to think you're easy prey, then you should at least be more discreet and not smile at women so casually! You know the saying 'possessing a treasure is a crime'! With your looks and mannerisms, who wouldn't have impure thoughts about you?!"
After a moment of stalemate, Ning Bingyu stared at her, then suddenly chuckled softly, saying with a dangerous undertone, "Chu Hongyu, you have a sharp tongue! Keep going, let's see what other nonsense you can spout!"
Chu Hongyu tapped his chest with her slender fingers and sighed—
There's a saying in mainland China: "A woman's belt shouldn't be too loose, or she'll suffer. But a man's belt shouldn't be too loose either. Young master, you need to be more careful! A general without virtue will exhaust his entire army!"
Ning Bingyu finally lost his temper and roared with a dark face, "Shut up!"
Chu Hongyu immediately pretended to understand, touched her red lips with her index finger, smiled charmingly, and said, "I'll listen to the young master."
Her obedient and docile demeanor only seemed to add fuel to the fire.
Ning Bingyu's temples throbbed with veins as he stared at her for a long while.
Chu Hongyu looked back at him without fear, and with an expression that seemed to indicate she didn't know what she had done wrong.
He took a deep breath, returned to normal, but stared at Chu Hongyu with his peach blossom eyes and sneered before turning and leaving.
Chu Hongyu watched his retreating figure and spat, "Tch! Governor of Hong Kong! Do you think I'm that easy to bully?"
Despite her outburst, she quickly followed after him in a good mood.
Today is auspicious. The God of Wealth is in the east, and the lucky star is in the south. It's a good day to confront your boss, reorganize your workplace, or even get a raise!
