Chapter 27: Domineering Secretary Bai Yueguang 6 Fiancee
The next morning, Wen Qianning was busy catching up on her work, and it was not until the afternoon that she got up and went to the president's office.
Standing in front of the door, she knocked politely.
"Come in."
She pushed the door open and her eyes fell on the man behind the desk.
Ji Hanlin was flipping through some documents. When he saw her come in, he said, "Sit down."
"Mr. Ji, this is the first draft of the project I compiled." Wen Qianning handed over the document in his hand, then walked to the chair opposite him and sat down, moving very quietly.
For the next few minutes, the office was silent except for the rustling of papers. Wen Qianning sat quietly, her back straight, waiting for his judgment.
"Overall, it's pretty good." He raised his eyes, meeting hers, his tone as calm as ever. "The data analysis is very organized, and the execution process is also reasonable."
Hearing this, Wen Qianning's eyebrows curved, "Thank you, President Ji."
Ji Hanlin flipped through a few pages and tapped a paragraph with his fingertips. "But the solution section at the end is a bit conservative. I know you want to proceed cautiously, but sometimes, being bolder can actually reduce the risk."
"Okay." She nodded seriously. "I'll make changes based on your suggestions."
Without saying anything else, he took out an envelope from the drawer and pushed it in front of her.
"Here are the keys to the house. The access card is also inside."
Wen Qianning lowered her head, took the envelope, and said dazedly, "Thank you, thank you, President Ji."
"There shouldn't be anything missing there. Daily necessities have already been stocked up. I've also contacted the moving company for you. Just let them know when you're done packing."
The male protagonist's style of doing things was indeed steady and thoughtful, which moved Wen Qianning to the point of tears.
"Thank you so much..." she began tentatively, "Um, can I treat you to a meal?"
Ji Hanlin curled his lips and nodded: "When?"
The male protagonist actually... agreed immediately?
"When would you like to go?"
"I can do either," he replied quickly.
Wen Qianning looked up and looked at the man in front of her with some surprise.
No, anytime is fine. This isn't our overbearing CEO protagonist who's always busy with his work.
"Well, after we move?" She hid the smile in her eyes, "I'll cook for you myself after I've packed up."
"Make it yourself?" Ji Hanlin raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised. "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."
The girl smiled happily and said, "I will prepare well."

This week was extremely busy for Wen Qianning.
During the day, she devoted herself to advancing the project at hand, and finally successfully completed all the materials before the internal review. At the same time, she also found time to complete her move. After a simple packing, she officially moved into Ji Hanlin's apartment in the city center.
The new home is quiet and clean, with a wide view and a convenient location. It is completely different from her original cramped and dark rental house.
Just after noon that day, the company's regular senior management meeting had not yet ended, but an uninvited guest unexpectedly arrived.
As soon as the receptionist hung up the phone, she looked up and saw a woman with exquisite makeup, wearing ten-centimeter red-soled high heels, walking straight into the president's exclusive reception area.
"Hello, do you have an appointment?" The receptionist quickly stood up to stop him.
The woman glanced at her and said in a very unhappy tone: "I am Gu Yanran, and I am here to see Han Lin."
The receptionist was shocked when she heard the name and immediately became alert. Of course, she had heard that the Gu family was well-known in the financial world, and it was rumored that Gu Yanran was Ji Hanlin's fiancée.
Although there has been no official confirmation of the engagement, rumors say that Gu Yanran is deeply loved by the elders of the Ji family, so it is not unimaginable if the two families want to marry each other.
Therefore, she did not dare to stop Gu Yanran rashly, but just said politely: "President Ji is still in the meeting room, do you want to..."
"No, I'll just go in and wait for him."
Gu Yanran would not tolerate being refused, so she stepped forward and pushed open the door of the president's reception room.
In the reception room, Wen Qianning was organizing the documents on the table. When she heard the door open, she subconsciously looked up.
Gu Yanran strode into the president's reception room with a bad look on her face. She was holding a valuable bag in her hand. She looked aggressive and had bad intentions.
...Who is this woman? Gu Yanran looked Wen Qianning up and down.
She was wearing a clean and neat professional suit, the slim cut made her figure look slender and straight, the hip skirt and black stockings outlined her curves clearly, she stood calmly and had a cool temperament.
Especially that face, which was white and clean, with soft features, and looked delicate and pitiful.
Gu Yanran narrowed her eyes.
Vixen!
She took a few steps forward and patted the tea table in the reception room. "Who are you?"
Wen Qianning was about to pick up the teapot when she paused. "Hello, I'm Wen Qianning, President Ji's secretary. May I ask who you are?"
"You don't know who I am?" Gu Yanran sneered as if she had heard a joke, "I'm Ji Hanlin's fiancée!"
Wen Qianning understood that this was the female supporting character in the original novel. She replied, "President Ji is in a meeting in the conference room right now. It's expected to end in about ten minutes. If you'd like to wait a moment, I can make you a cup of tea."
"Then go quickly." Gu Yanran waved her hand without any courtesy, with obvious contempt in her eyes. She thought to herself, who is a secretary who is flirting with when she dresses like a vixen?
Wen Qianning didn't know what Gu Yanran was thinking, so she just walked to the tea room, quickly brought a cup of hot tea, and lowered her head to place it in front of her.
"Please."
Gu Yanran smiled and reached out to take it, but suddenly her wrist twisted and the whole cup of hot tea tilted down and splashed onto Wen Qianning's shirt.
The hot water was not boiling hot, but Wen Qianning still took a deep breath and her skirt got wet.
"Oh, sorry, my hands have been shaking lately." Gu Yanran covered her mouth and laughed, but there was no apology in her tone, and there was malice in her eyes. "Oh my God, what should I do? I accidentally wet your clothes. Secretary Wen won't be angry, right?"
"But... it's just a piece of clothing, I'll just compensate you. It will be soaked through once it gets wet, so it will be convenient for people to see it clearly..." As she spoke, she glanced at Wen Qianning's chest with contempt.
Hearing this, even the good-tempered Wen Qianning was speechless. She knew that Gu Yanran was positioned as a vicious female supporting role in the original plot, but this kind of female supporting role in a domineering CEO novel seemed too much, didn't it?
"Don't blame me for not warning you. Don't even think about hooking up with someone you shouldn't be hooking up with!"
Before Gu Yanran could finish her harsh words, a man's deep voice came from the door: "What are you doing?"
They both turned their heads at the same time.
Ji Hanlin stood at the door with a cold expression. His eyes immediately fell on Wen Qianning's wet shirt, and his brows immediately furrowed.
"Who gave you permission to do this?"
"Han Lin? Have you finished the meeting..." Gu Yanran was stunned and hurriedly went to meet him with a stiff smile, "I just wanted to come here to see if there are any questionable women in the company who are approaching you..."
"Have you had enough of this?" His tone was extremely cold. "You came here uninvited, what else do you want to do? This is a company, an office space, no one wants to waste your time making trouble with you."
"I, I... I didn't mean that. I just... I don't like other women getting close to you." Gu Yanran said aggrievedly, "I just care about you too much..."
"You need to understand clearly, Gu Yanran." Ji Hanlin said coldly, "There has been no relationship between you and me from the beginning to the end."
"Your family did privately propose a marriage, but that was your parents' wishful thinking. It was your Gu family's own idea. I never agreed to it, let alone publicly acknowledged it."
His eyes were cold and indifferent, as if he was looking at an insignificant outsider. "You've been spreading the word that you're my fiancée, and I've already warned you. You know full well that I never approve of this relationship, yet you've repeatedly hyped it up at the company and outside. This is my last chance. If you still refuse to change, don't blame me for targeting the Gu family."
Gu Yanran stood there in disbelief, as if she hadn't expected Ji Hanlin to be so disrespectful to her in front of outsiders. Her eyes were red: "...You actually scolded me for her?"
She glared at Wen Qianning fiercely and said through gritted teeth, "I won't let you go."
After saying that, she walked out of the door in her high heels, carrying her bag, and slammed the door without any grace.
Silence finally returned to the reception room. Wen Qianning stood there, his hand still clutching the wet tea towel, his shirt sticking to his skin.
Ji Hanlin walked up to her and looked down at the water marks on her shirt, frowning even tighter: "Did your hands get burned?"
"……No."
He paused and said in a deep voice, "Follow me."
In the exclusive lounge, Ji Hanlin took out a clean white shirt and handed it to her, "Change into it first."
Wen Qianning took the shirt and saw that Ji Hanlin had no intention of leaving. She looked up at him and said, "You... aren't going out?"
Ji Hanlin was slightly taken aback. He had wanted to explain to her seriously that Gu Yanran had nothing to do with him. Although Wen Qianning hadn't pressed the issue, he was afraid she might misunderstand. But her question now made him hesitate.
The fair-skinned girl stood in front of him, still wearing wet clothes. The fabric stuck to her skin, making her figure look even slimmer.
Seeing this, his throat suddenly became a little dry.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wen Qianning was silent for a moment, and then began to slowly unbutton the wet shirt he was wearing as if no one was around. His movements were neither hurried nor slow. When he lowered his head, his hair fell on his cheeks, and he actually looked a bit... contented and calm.
"Why did you take it off right away?" Ji Hanlin came back to his senses, his ears flushed red, and he quickly turned around, "You can wait until I get out..."
"Aren't you going to leave?" The girl's eyelashes moved, her expression became a little shy, and she looked at him innocently.
Ji Hanlin was choked by her.
He actually just didn't react, but when she said that, it seemed like... he really had bad intentions.
"I just..." Ji Hanlin cleared his throat, turned his back to her, and spoke in a low voice, "Actually, I wanted to explain to you again. The woman you saw today is not my fiancée. I don't want you to misunderstand."
The room was quiet for a moment. Wen Qianning was putting on the shirt he handed her. When he heard this, he paused slightly and then looked up at his back. The man had broad and straight shoulders and stood there motionless, afraid that a single glance from him would seem to be out of line.
She blinked, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and her tone was gentle and soft: "So... Mr. Ji is always worried that I will misunderstand?"
Ji Hanlin's Adam's apple moved and he said "hmm".
"I'm done changing, Mr. Ji." She straightened her shirt and called him.
"I told you before, I owe you a meal."
Ji Hanlin turned around and looked at her fair skin. She was wearing his white shirt, which was unexpectedly simple and attractive. He moved his throat slightly: "Hmm?"
"I've almost finished packing since I moved into the apartment." She dropped her hands to her sides and looked at him calmly. "If tonight is free for you, would you be willing to do me the honor of visiting?"
"Of course." The man lowered his eyes and stared into her clear eyes. "Let's go together after get off work."
