"Know your place. Offending me is not a wise move. If I listen to you and leave the industry, you might lose your job."
Lin Jianan sneered, "I know you celebrities make money, but you don't naively think that the little money you have can make me lose my job, do you? The business world isn't the entertainment industry. With your brains, you can only survive in the entertainment industry."
Luo Shimiao tore the business card apart bit by bit in front of her: "You don't look like a business elite at all, you look more like element number fifty-first on the periodic table."
Her eyes were filled with anger; if Gu Nian hadn't been there, she probably would have started cursing.
She picked up her bag, stood up, walked up to Gu Nian, and smiled sweetly: "Nian, I have a project to discuss with Xingchen tonight. It's been signed, so please do me the honor of coming to the celebration banquet."
Gu Nian didn't even look up, coldly saying, "Shameless."
“You’re still as fun as you were in college.” She turned and walked toward the door.
As her hand touched the doorknob, Luo Shimiao's clear voice rang out: "Miss Lin, for important occasions, you should probably switch to a lipstick that won't fade easily."
Lin Jianan looked embarrassed, pursed her lips, and quickly left.
“Interesting.” Luo Shimiao tapped his fingers on the table, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
As soon as she left, Gu Nian closed his laptop, walked to the tea table, put on disposable gloves, and threw the teacup that Lin Jianan had drunk from into the trash can.
Then he grabbed some disinfectant and sprayed it all over the tea table and the office.
The clicking sound continued for several minutes before stopping.
Luo Shimiao and Xiao Lü watched him silently.
After Gu Nian finished spraying, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "The taste is right."
"Are you experiencing a 'domineering CEO syndrome'?" Luo Shimiao asked tentatively.
He took off his gloves and threw them in the trash can, then lifted her chin and leaned down to give her a deep kiss.
"You're cured."
"Hmph!" Luo Shimiao put her hand under her armpit, pretending to be angry, and said, "Did I disturb you?"
The man's heart melted at the sight of her charming and adorable appearance. He pinched her soft cheek and said, "Yes."
"?" She glared at him, slapped his hand away, and jumped up, grabbing his ear: "Say that again!"
“It was to disturb me that I asked her to leave.” Gu Nian blinked and said, “A little harder, I like it a little stronger.”
Luo Shimiao released his ear and said, "Pervert!"
Gu Nian wrapped his arms around her from behind, buried his face in her neck, and said slowly, "She and I are just ordinary alumni."
"But the way she speaks to you sounds anything but ordinary."
"I only let her come up because of my senior. I've already informed her that she won't have another chance to come to my office."
Luo Shimiao: "Does your senior like her?"
Gu Nian gently pinched her nose: "Miao Miao, you're so smart." He sighed softly: "Your senior is good in every way, except for his eyesight. Now that she's back in the country, your senior will probably be back soon too."
"When he comes back, I'll introduce you to him."
"Okay~" She was very curious about what kind of person the senior he was talking about was. There weren't many people who could earn Gu Nian's praise.
Gu Nian seemed to realize something, his eyes flashed, and he walked up to Luo Shimiao, putting his hand on her shoulder, and asked, "Did she just mention Xingchen?"
"Yes." Luo Shimiao smiled like a cunning little fox: "I miss my old baby a little." Then she dialed Luo Jingyuan's number.
"Daughter, where have you run off to? Don't you want your dad anymore?"
“I’m in your right atrium.” Luo Shimiao sat down in Gu Nian’s seat, wanting to open his laptop to see what he was doing.
His expression just now didn't seem like he was handling official business.
Gu Nian's heart tightened, and he rushed over to snatch the computer back, shaking his head with a smile.
"?" Luo Shimiao narrowed his eyes. He had a secret!
Luo Jingyuan's cheerful voice rang out: "You little girl, now that you have a boyfriend, you don't even go home anymore."
“Your wife is very fierce. If you touch any of her flowers or plants, she will chase me all over the garden with a spiked club.”
"Did you hit it?"
"Of course not, even if my mom were 30 years younger, she still couldn't catch up with me."
Luo Jingyuan: "Miaomiao, this is wrong of you. How could you run away? What if your mother fell? Just stand there and let her hit you a couple of times, and she'll calm down."
Luo Shimiao: "..." Mom really lives up to her reputation as someone who lives in the left atrium.
"Getting back to the point, what do you want with your handsome old man?"
"Hehe~" Luo Shimiao spun around in her chair, her little mouth opening and closing.
"Done!" She put down her phone and beckoned to Gu Nian with her finger: "What kind of shady stuff are you hiding inside?"
Gu Nian, holding his laptop, looked away and said, "It's nothing, just some company documents."
"I don't believe a single punctuation mark you say." Luo Shimiao recalled his excited expression and grinned mischievously, "Have you been secretly browsing inappropriate websites behind my back?"
The man walked over, placed the computer on the table, braced his arms on the edge of the table, and trapped her in the crook of his arms.
"It's no fun watching alone. If we're going to watch it, we should watch it together so we can apply the 'knowledge' we learn on the spot."
Little Green asked timidly, "Can I join?"
Both of them looked at the little green thing on the tea table at the same time: "No."
"Hmph, stingy, give me my phone." Little Green flew over.
Luo Shimiao took her phone out of her pocket and placed it in front of it: "You need me to bring your phone every time you go out. Can't you live without it?"
"You humans have to carry things even when you go to the toilet. Who can't live?" Xiao Lü swiped the screen with her foot, found Li Man's WeChat, and called her.
The phone rang for a few seconds before being answered.
“Master, the fierce woman and Xiao Niannian want a website full of braised chicken flavor. They are too embarrassed to ask, so they asked me to ask.”
Two cold gazes were fixed on it.
"Cough cough."
Two unnatural coughs came through the microphone.
"Xiao Lü, I'm in a meeting. You're talking about the recipe for braised chicken, right? I'll send it to you later when I have time." Then she hung up quickly.
Li Man handed the phone to Luo Jianxing, wiped the sweat from her palms on her pants, and realized she had forgotten to turn off the screen mirroring. From now on, she couldn't answer the phone during meetings, even if the meeting hadn't started!
The man sitting third to her right smiled and said, "Ms. Li, your cooking skills are amazing. My wife also loves braised chicken. Could you send me a portion sometime? I'd like to make it for her."
"I want to too."
"And me too."
"Count me in."
Li Man awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Okay, okay."
Luo Jianxing lowered his head, suppressing a laugh, his shoulders trembling.
She stuck out her leg and kicked him.
The first man to speak asked, "Assistant Luo, what are you laughing at?"
Luo Jianxing's smile faded, and he raised his handsome face, saying gently, "I've thought of a corny joke. Would you like to hear it?"
Li Man glanced around and said, "Meeting!" She'll have Xiao Lü check her homework tonight.
At this moment, Little Green lay motionless on the table, muttering, "It's all over, it's all over, it's all over..."
