Like a seductive little hook, it lingered in his senses, lingering and never fading away.
A sudden surge of irritation rose within him for no apparent reason.
Bo Xu put down his pen and pinched the bridge of his nose.
Turning her gaze, she noticed a drawer to the side, reached out and pulled it open, taking out a resume.
In the one-inch photo on the right, the girl has clear eyes and a bright, cheerful smile, radiating innocence and brilliance.
This is completely different from her previous cautious and somewhat fearful demeanor.
He thought of the first time he saw her by the Panyue Lake, her sweet and soft attire, and the shy and flustered way she fell into his arms—a stark contrast to these two different appearances.
Which one is the real her?
Bo Xu frowned deeply, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the three characters "Chen Zhiyi," his gaze pausing slightly before his eyes involuntarily shifting to the pen and notepad on the table.
Shen Zhiyi, congratulations on joining the company?
He remained silent for a moment.
He opened the pen cap with one hand and wrote her name on a blank sticky note.
The handwriting is heavier than usual.
He paused for a moment after the comma, as if suddenly realizing what he was doing. He tore off the sticky note expressionlessly, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.

The next day, Shen Zhiyi appeared in the office carrying a pot of mimosa plants.
"Will this really work?"
She sent a message to the suspended island.
Xiao Xu quickly replied: "Definitely."
"When I'm thinking, I like to play with the mimosa plant. If he finds such a plant around him, he'll definitely pay more attention to you."
Shen Zhiyi: "Help! I desperately want him to stop paying attention to me!"
"Ideally, he won't even think about me for a month... just let me get through my probation period peacefully."
She just wanted to follow Qin Luo, complete her work tasks, and remain invisible.
But Xiaoxu disagreed.
"Sister, don't get the wrong idea!"
"Only those who are remembered by the boss can stay by his side! An assistant's position is different from other positions; you must make him used to having you around, remembering you, and relying on you for everything!"
"Only by becoming irreplaceable to him can you avoid being laid off and your salary increase accordingly."
"Sister, have you forgotten how hard it is to find a job these days?"
After thinking about it carefully, Shen Zhiyi felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
"That seems to be the case."
She looked at the flowerpot in her hand. "But the survival rules say that we can't touch anything on President Bo's desk."
"I wouldn't dare let this through without his permission."
She made such a silly mistake yesterday, and now she's even more afraid to ask him if he wants the mimosa.
Xiao Xu considerately replied, "I've already thought it through."
"Sister can just put it at her workstation."
"When he passes by and asks, even if he just glances at it a couple of times, you can take the opportunity to ask him if he wants to get one for him too."
"He must think you have great insight and know his preferences very well."
Shen Zhiyi felt a sense of smug satisfaction as she thought of Bo Xu's approving gaze.
She carried the mimosa to her workstation, carefully tended to it, adjusted the angle, and then took a picture to send to Xiaoxu.
I also sent him a voice message.
"But why do you like this?"
Xiao Xu replied with a grin, "Don't you think teasing it is like teasing a kitten, sister?"
"When I can't write code or get stuck in a rut, I touch it and find that it's even more helpless than I am, and that makes me feel better."
"Moreover, its leaves are so small that they will close up completely at the slightest touch. If I don't remove my hand, it will be forced to hug me. The way it shrinks and trembles, yet has no choice but to hold onto my fingers, is really interesting, isn't it?"
"So, when I have nothing to do, I like to play with it."
His voice suddenly went hoarse. "I like little things that are sensitive and shy, but have a strong reaction."
"Don't you like it, sister?"
Shen Zhiyi's lips twitched.
"I've discovered that you not only have a wicked sense of humor, but you're also quite cunning."
