Chapter 41

"??", Lin Yuan looked at Zhao Tian in shock.

Zhao Tian blinked her beautiful eyes, full of anticipation as she gazed at Lin Yuan.

"Want to give it a try?"

Zhao Tian was very pretty; after drinking, she became even more charming and alluring.

These days spent together with Lin Yuan gave her a hint of interest in this ordinary man.

Moreover, the most important reason is that Zhao Tian sensed Lin Yuan's future potential is great.

Lin Yuan had already become a rising star beside Director Su; Zhao Tian wanted to seize the opportunity to win him over—this would also help her future career advancement.

Lin Yuan, however, suddenly shook his head: "Manager Zhao, we're not suited. Let's just forget it. Besides, the company forbids office romances."

"What's there to be afraid of? Let's just have a secret office romance." Zhao Tian continued.

She was convinced that men like Lin Yuan were easy to win over. As long as she took a little initiative, Lin Yuan would readily take the bait. Then she could easily PUA him, right?

Then she could have him hand over his salary, make him obey her, and even use his secretary position to seek benefits for her own career promotion.

Lin Yuan, however, kept shaking his head and ultimately rejected Zhao Tian.

"What, am I not pretty enough?" Zhao Tian said, a little angry. She hadn't expected that, despite all her charms, this honest man Lin Yuan would still refuse her.

"No, Manager Zhao, you're very pretty, but... I just broke up and don't want to start another relationship yet." Lin Yuan hurriedly explained.

Actually, this is just one of the reasons.

Another reason is... Lin Yuan's mind now holds only that beautiful female landlord.

Lin Yuan thought of her day and night; every time he closed his eyes, Qin Bore came to mind.

So he now cannot tolerate any other woman.

In the end, Zhao Tian could only give up.

It seems the path of currying favor with Lin Yuan is now blocked.

Moreover, she was not resigned to her career; even becoming an Administrative Director would not satisfy her ambition.

What she wanted was more.

……

A few days later, it was the Dragon Boat Festival.

That day after work, while picking up Su Monong to go home, she suddenly said, "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival; let's go to my place for dinner tonight, and we can make zongzi there as well."

Lin Yuan blinked, then realized it was indeed the Dragon Boat Festival today.

"Um, okay." Lin Yuan nodded.

He took out his phone and sent a Dragon Boat Festival greeting text to his parents.

His parents seemed busy and had no time to reply.

Lin Yuan drove, first going with Su Monong to the supermarket to buy ingredients for making zongzi.

Lin Yuan realized that tomorrow was Children's Day (June 1).

So he also bought two cartoon Peppa Pig mosquito-repellent wristbands at the supermarket.

"Who are these two wristbands for?" Su Monong asked curiously.

Lin Yuan replied, "Um, tomorrow is Children's Day, I was thinking of giving Miss Su a little Children's Day gift."

Su Monong couldn't help but laugh, "You're really thoughtful—my daughter is already 25, and she still celebrates Children's Day."

Lin Yuan replied, "Um, Miss Su will forever be 17. Girls all want to stay young forever."

"Heh, didn't expect you little brat to be quite good at flirting with girls. However, I warn you, don't have any thoughts about my daughter, otherwise I'll castrate you." Su Monong suddenly warned.

Lin Yuan repeatedly said, "Director Su, rest assured, how could I dare have thoughts about Miss Su? I know my place."

In the evening, Lin Yuan went to Su Monong's house to make zongzi.

He also gave the cartoon mosquito-repellent wristband to Miss Su.

Miss Su is the company's vice president, so Lin Yuan had to flatter this beautiful female vice president.

Upon receiving the Children's Day gift from Lin Yuan, Su Zhiyuan was visibly stunned.

For so many years, no man had ever given her a Children's Day gift.

Moreover, this gift was so "special".

Not saying it's expensive, but it's quite thoughtful.

"Lin Yuan, you little brat, you're on the right track. Rest assured, from now on I, Miss, will have your back at the company." Su Zhiyuan said, quite satisfied, patting her chest.

She happily put the mosquito-repellent wristband on her wrist.

That night was the Dragon Boat Festival.

Inside the Lucheng Meiguyuan Bieshu, the atmosphere was warm and cozy; Su Monong, her son, and Lin Yuan, the three of them, seemed like a family, enjoying themselves happily.

……

After finishing dinner at Su Monong's house in the evening, Lin Yuan didn't return home until late at night.

Late at night, Lin Yuan made a trip to Qin Bore's 【Girls' Flower Shop】.

He hung the wrapped zongzi and the mosquito-repellent wristband on the flower shop's door handle.

He also attached a note.

……

The next morning, Qin Bore drove to the flower shop.

As soon as she opened the flower shop's door, she saw the zongzi and note hanging outside.

The note read:

【Miss Qin, today is the Dragon Boat Festival; I made some meat zongzi at home and brought some for you to try. Also, tomorrow is June 1 Children's Day; I bought a mosquito-repellent wristband for you as a Children's Day gift~ Wishing you happiness every day and an ever-youthful heart.】

Signature: 【Lin Yuan】

Seeing this note, Qin Bore's stunningly beautiful face curved into an arc.

Heh, that guy is really kinda cute.

Qin Bore hadn't eaten breakfast, so she took the zongzi into the flower shop, heated it on the induction stove, and ate it.

Who would have thought Lin Yuan's meat zongzi would be so fragrant; Qin Bore couldn't resist and ate two large meat zongzi in a row.

Her morning plan to lose weight by dieting fell through again~

Qin Bore also put Lin Yuan's mosquito-repellent wristband on her wrist; looking at her wrist, she was quite satisfied.

……

About a month's time is approaching.

The Su Group's Administrative Director showdown is about to end.

Meng Sijie's work progress is very slow, far behind Zhao Tian.

It looks like Zhao Tian is about to draw the competition.

Once Zhao Tian wins, Su Monong will occupy an important position in the Administrative Department.

Sun Licheng has been frantic these days, his head burning; he won't let such an important position be given away.

Sun Licheng summoned his subordinates to the office to help devise plans.

Wind Control Department Director Lu Chengyu suddenly proposed an idea: "General Manager Sun, since Zhao Tian has the highest chance of winning the competition, let's just take her down! As long as we take her down, Su Monong will surely lose!"

Whoosh! Hearing this, Sun Licheng's eyes narrowed: "Great idea!"

Thus, Sun Licheng immediately began acting.

He began to infiltrate Zhao Tian.

These days, Sun Licheng began to bombard Zhao Tian with money.

He tried to bribe Zhao Tian.

But faced with Sun Licheng's lavish bribery, Zhao Tian remained unmoved.

She is part of Director Su's faction, promoted by Director Su herself, so Zhao Tian would not easily betray Director Su.

Unless……

Sun Licheng didn't give up; he simply increased his investment, refusing to believe that any woman in this world cannot be settled with money.

Sun Licheng directly poured two million!

He directly bought Zhao Tian a mortgaged apartment in Hangchengshi!

And he also bought Zhao Tian a Patek Philippe watch worth 200,000!

At this moment, Zhao Tian's heart finally softened.

Flies don't bite uncracked eggs.

Zhao Tian, a young lady, ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of so many sugar-coated bullets.

She, betrayed.

Zhao Tian agreed to defect to Sun Licheng.

But Sun Licheng wasn't satisfied with that; he wanted to impose unspoken rules on Zhao Tian.

But Zhao Tian refused.

Betraying Director Su is already her bottom line; she couldn't possibly sell her body for a little money.

Her body will only go to someone she likes.

Sun Licheng spent all that money but didn't get to sleep with Zhao Tian, feeling somewhat depressed. But since Zhao Tian is unwilling now, he can only endure.

Sun Licheng plans to slowly pursue Zhao Tian, refusing to believe that this young lady won't see reason.

As long as Zhao Tian currently sides with his faction, that's enough.

Sun Licheng is sure to win this battle.

……

Over the next few days, Zhao Tian secretly kept in touch with Sun Licheng, but she kept feeling somewhat guilty.

Lin Yuan still accompanied her every day, working overtime to help her revise documents.

But Lin Yuan seemed to have already noticed her abnormality.

Zhao Tian also noticed.

If this continues, her betrayal will eventually be discovered by Lin Yuan.

Paper can't wrap fire.

Thus, to conceal her betrayal secret, Zhao Tian decided to go out on a limb!

She must actively seduce Lin Yuan to take down this unstable factor.

As long as Lin Yuan is taken down by her, he will keep her secret.

……

That night, Lin Yuan had just finished his night run and was about to go to bed when he suddenly received a call from Zhao Tian.

"Lin Yuan, the water pipe in my bathroom broke, water flooded the floor—what should I do? I can't stop it; can you fix water pipes? Could you come help me?" Zhao Tian's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Yuan blinked, puzzled: "The water pipe broke? You could call property management? Or contact an electrician/plumber; they'd come to fix it."

On the other end, Zhao Tian helplessly said: "It's already 10 p. m.; the property staff are off duty, and I can't find an electrician/plumber… Lin Yuan, please come help me—my floor is flooded with water, I can't stop it…"

Lin Yuan felt helpless and could only agree.

Thus, he drove to Zhao Tian's home according to the location she sent.

Zhao Tian lives in a single-person apartment, quite large, over 100 square meters.

Lin Yuan went upstairs and knocked on the door.

Zhao Tian opened the door quickly; the moment she opened the door……

Lin Yuan's heart jumped.

All I saw was Zhao Tian wearing nothing, her body wrapped in a towel, her delicate figure half-exposed, her long hair dripping wet, and a scent of body wash emanating from her.

Lin Yuan, seeing this, almost had a nosebleed…

"Lin Yuan, I was halfway through my shower when the pipe suddenly burst, and now water is flooding out." Zhao Tian anxiously pulled Lin Yuan into the house.

She directly pulled Lin Yuan into the bathroom.

As expected, the entire bathroom was filled with water, water kept gushing out of the pipe, and the water had spread to the living room.

Lin Yuan hurriedly crouched down and began to inspect the pipe.

He first shut off the main valve of the pipe, then used all-purpose glue to patch the pipe.

"Do you have any cloth? I want to wrap the leaking spot," Lin Yuan asked.

"No cloth, use this." Zhao Tian said, handing Lin Yuan a black thing.

Lin Yuan took that thing and looked at it, dazed. This was Zhao Tian's black stockings she had worn.

The stockings still retained Zhao Tian's faint feminine scent.

This…

"That'll do!" Lin Yuan was speechless; since there was no cloth, he'd use the stockings instead.

Zhao Tian crouched down to help him.

Besides, she wasn't wearing any clothes, just a towel wrapped around her; the sight of her crouching was simply breathtaking, too tempting.

Lin Yuan, even if he just glanced sideways, could catch a glimpse of her stunning view.

Lin Yuan didn't dare turn his head at all, afraid of seeing what he shouldn't. He tried to stay calm and focus on fixing the pipe.

Lin Yuan spent half a day before finally fixing the pipe.

"Oh, thank you so much. Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight." Zhao Tian said gratefully.

She stood up from the floor, but because the floor was too slippery, Zhao Tian's foot slipped a little when she got up.

"Ah…!" Zhao Tian panicked and fell toward the floor.

"Be careful!" Lin Yuan hastily wrapped his arms around her waist.

But at that moment, the thin towel wrapped around Zhao Tian's body suddenly came undone.

In an instant, the breathtaking sight filled his eyes!

Lin Yuan, seeing this stunning sight, almost had a nosebleed…

"Sorry, I didn't mean to…" Lin Yuan, flustered, hastily closed his eyes.

But just as he closed his eyes, Zhao Tian suddenly wrapped her arms around Lin Yuan's neck, saying, 'But I did it on purpose~'

Having said that, Zhao Tian blocked Lin Yuan's lips.
