It's a new day, a new Friday. Lu Zhe arrived at the company and began his work as usual—holding a small speaker and chatting with artificial intelligence.
But less than twenty minutes into the work, a broad hand landed on his shoulder.
His boss, Mao Kai, patted him on the shoulder and said, "President Xia asked you to come over, probably to discuss the new job."
Lu Zhe subconsciously looked up: "A new job..."
Mao Kai laughed and said, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Lu Zhe immediately said, "It's impossible to be afraid."
Just kidding, once he masters the new job, he'll be promoted to a permanent position. Not only will the salary be significantly higher, but the company won't be able to fire him easily; even if they did, they'd have to offer extra compensation. So, instead of being afraid, he's practically bursting with anticipation.
Mao Kai: "Then let's go over there. President Xia is waiting for you."
Lu Zhe stood up and walked towards the president's office.
When he reached the office door and pushed it open, he saw President Xia sitting behind his desk.
Lu Zhe was already very familiar with the boss's office. So without Xia Zong telling him, he took the initiative to sit on the sofa next to the desk—in his experience, Xia Zong would make him sit there sooner or later anyway.
However, this time, something unexpected happened.
Xia Xiaobing glanced at him, then snapped her fingers: "Come here for a second, I'll explain to you how to do this."
Lu Zhe blinked, looking a little stunned.
Xia Xiaobing blinked too, but this time with a hint of a smile: "Do I have to drag you over here?"
Lu Zhe silently stood up, walked around the desk, and came to stand behind his boss. Since the other person was sitting while he was standing, he was naturally taller and could clearly see the computer screen from directly behind.
The screen displays an introduction to the e-commerce customer service AI project.
Xia Xiaobing added, "Your current abilities are definitely sufficient for this project. These are the main materials needed; I'll send them to you on WeChat later. Your specific task is to act as a bridge, connecting the merchants with our algorithm department, communicating their needs, and monitoring the merchants' feedback for each phase."
Lu Zhe: "No problem."
Xia Xiaobing pointed to the space beside her: "Don't stand behind me, come where I can see you. Take another look at these documents, and if you have any questions, tell me now."
So Lu Zhe took a step to the side and stood next to President Xia. Because of the angle, he had to bend down slightly and support himself on the table with his hand to look at the computer.
His attention was focused on the screen, and after watching for a while, he suddenly felt his arm being pinched.
Xia Xiaobing reached out and gently pinched the outside of his left arm, specifically the triceps area. The pressure was just right—not too light, not too heavy—so as not to tickle him, nor to cause him any pain.
But isn't it a bit too strange to suddenly pinch someone's muscles?
Lu Zhe stared at her.
Xia Xiaobing noticed his gaze, but smiled openly and said, "You've worked out well, quite muscular."
Lu Zhe: "President Xia, what are you doing...?"
"Heh," Xia Xiaobing chuckled, shifting the topic to business, "Is there anything in these documents that you don't understand?"
Lu Zhe glanced at the computer screen again: "I think everything is fine, there's nothing I don't understand."
"That's good."
As Xia Xiaobing spoke, she didn't look at the screen, but kept her eyes fixed on Lu Zhe's profile. Her facial expression remained calm, but a gentle smile unconsciously flickered in her beautiful eyes.

In the morning, when Tang Qi saw Xue Xiaodie at the entrance of the shopping mall near her home, she immediately grabbed Xue Xiaodie's arm.
Miss Tang asked impatiently, "Is that guy really Lu Zhe's boss?"
Xue Xiaodie raised her hand to fan herself and said leisurely, "It's so hot..."
Tang Qi paused for two seconds, then suddenly realized that the other person was putting on airs. She was a little annoyed, but helplessly said, "Then how about I treat you to dinner?"
Xue Xiaodie shook her head: "I don't have time to eat. I skipped work and ran away here. I have to go back later. Besides, in an hour or two, I'll be having lunch with Lu Zhe."
Tang Qi: "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Xue Xiaodie smiled slightly: "Isn't your home nearby? Let me go up and take a look, have a drink of water, and talk to you about what to do next. Let's finish talking quickly so I can go back to work."
Tang Qi thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, let's go upstairs now."
Next, the two girls walked into the upscale apartment building, took the elevator up, and entered the luxurious apartment, which was two or three hundred square meters in size.
As soon as she entered, Xue Xiaodie glanced at the surrounding area and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be rich..."
Tang Qi couldn't help but ask again, "What's your plan?"
Xue Xiaodie: "I'm a little thirsty..."
Tang Qi pulled her into the living room and made her sit on the sofa. Miss Tang then ran to the kitchen, took two bottles of chilled cola from the refrigerator, returned to the living room, and stared at her, asking, "Can you tell me now?"
Xue Xiaodie glanced at the cola and couldn't help but laugh: "My period isn't over yet, so I can't drink anything cold."
Tang Qi couldn't help but slam the can of cola down on the coffee table, angrily saying, "Are you deliberately picking a fight?! Are you going to tell me or not how you're going to deal with President Xia?"
Xue Xiaodie waved her hand: "I will tell you, I definitely will. Don't be so impatient, sit down and listen to me slowly."
Tang Qi sat on the sofa angrily, but kept a full two meters away from her.
Xue Xiaodie smiled and leaned closer to the young lady, whispering in her ear, "I just wanted to test your temper a little. It seems you're not very patient."
Tang Qi snorted and said, "I've never had much patience."
Xue Xiaodie said seriously, "That won't do. You have to understand, that CEO Xia is very powerful. She's smart, domineering, rich, and very sexy. If we don't have patience, how can we win a fight against someone like that?"
Tang Qi: "But you still haven't said how you're going to fight! Do you even have a plan?"
Xue Xiaodie patted her on the back and said, "Before I tell you, I definitely need to confirm one thing first."
Tang Qi: "What is it?"
Xue Xiaodie: "It's that question you asked me before. Now, please answer me honestly. Do you like Lu Zhe?"
Tang Qi was stunned and just stared at her intently.
Xue Xiaodie smiled and said quietly, "I definitely need to confirm your motives first before considering whether to tell you. You agree, right?"
Tang Qi: "But..."
“There are no ‘buts’,” Xue Xiaodie suddenly said, her smile fading and her expression turning serious. “Now, we must be completely honest with each other!”
