Chapter 42: Women are dangerous creatures!

In an instant, Lin Yuan was stunned.

What? What's going on??

Lin Yuan's mind went completely blank.

Zhao Tian was taking the initiative.

Lin Yuan had never encountered such an aggressive woman before……

Lin Yuan tried to calm himself, but in his panic he hastily stepped back two paces to avoid Zhao Tian.

"Zhao Tian, don't do this…… we're not suited." Lin Yuan said.

Zhao Tian's beautiful eyes stared at Lin Yuan unwillingly.

"Do you have no feelings for me at all? In what way am I inferior to other women?" Zhao Tian said somewhat resentfully.

She's being this forward, yet this Lin Yuan can actually hold out?

This made Zhao Tian very unwilling and even more dissatisfied. She, Zhao Tian, makes her move—no man has ever been able to withstand her!

Could it be that her charm isn't enough?

Lin Yuan averted his gaze, not daring to look at her body: "Zhao Tian, you're great, very beautiful, but, but Director Su has a rule—no office romances—so…… so we should just stay cool with each other……"

Lin Yuan forcibly suppressed the fire in his heart, then hurriedly fled Zhao Tian's home.

Only Zhao Tian remained, standing dazedly and resentfully in the restroom.

"Damn bastard!" Zhao Tian resentfully smashed things inside the restroom.

Her seduction attempt failed.

This dealt a heavy blow to her self-esteem!

Moreover, since she failed to get Lin Yuan, her betrayal will surely be exposed sooner or later.

No way—she must get Lin Yuan.

Zhao Tian secretly thought…… over the next few days she would definitely find a way to have a physical relationship with Lin Yuan.

……

These days, in working with Zhao Tian, Lin Yuan gradually noticed something off about her.

And Zhao Tian, these past days, has constantly been engineering coincidences with Lin Yuan.

In the office, Lin Yuan works together with her.

Zhao Tian frequently in the office uses various means to seduce Lin Yuan.

Seeing that bending over wouldn't work, Zhao Tian adopted another method.

That afternoon, Zhao Tian pretended to come find Lin Yuan to discuss work matters.

As she walked up to Lin Yuan, her high heel suddenly slipped—"Ah!"

Zhao Tian let out a startled cry and lunged straight into Lin Yuan's arms.

And her red lips happened to kiss Lin Yuan's lips.

Lin Yuan was completely stunned.

How could this be such a coincidence?!

Moreover, Zhao Tian, fallen into Lin Yuan's arms, seemed unable to get up.

"Manager Zhao, get up quickly…… this isn't good…… there are people all around the company, it'd be bad if others saw." Lin Yuan urged hastily.

When Zhao Tian pretended to get up, she accidentally fell back into Lin Yuan's arms……

Seeing that this wouldn't work, Zhao Tian came up with another method.

She deliberately went to the restroom, her legs went weak from a sudden low blood sugar, and had Lin Yuan go to the women's restroom to help her out……

Once she even deliberately got drunk, her white shirt buttons all came undone, and her ample bosom pressed directly against Lin Yuan……

But Lin Yuan endured them all.

Fortunately Lin Yuan has strong willpower; otherwise he would truly have been taken by this woman.

When it comes to actively flirting with men, Zhao Tian is really skilled.

If Sun Licheng found out about this, he'd probably be furious to the point of near death.

He's spent so much money, yet never managed to touch Zhao Tian's body even once.

As a result, this brat Lin Yuan, without spending a cent, got to see Zhao Tian's body all over, and Zhao Tian even actively seduced him?

This, how can the gap between men be so huge?

After these days of contact, Lin Yuan suspected Zhao Tian had betrayed them, so he warned Su Monong.

Su Monong told Lin Yuan to find evidence.

Over the next few days, Lin Yuan covertly investigated Zhao Tian.

He finally found evidence of Zhao Tian's betrayal.

When Lin Yuan handed over the evidence to Su Monong, she trembled with rage.

She never imagined that after painstakingly cultivating Zhao Tian for so many years, the result would be her betrayal?!

"Let's think about how to resolve this trouble." Su Monong sat with her stockinged legs crossed, her beautiful eyes grave.

If the Administrative Director position were taken by Sun Licheng's faction, Su Monong's faction would lose an important post.

Su Monong couldn't immediately find another suitable candidate, so she planned to look outside for a professional to apply. But the odds aren't good.

Outsiders basically don't know the company's workflow, so they can't win.

At this moment, Lin Yuan suddenly proposed, "Director Su, there's still someone capable in the company; perhaps you could consider supporting her advancement."

Su Monong's eyes narrowed as she asked, "Who?"

Lin Yuan said, "Gu Shiyan."

Su Monong stared for a moment, then shook her head: "Gu Shiyan, her position is too low. Promoting her straight to Administrative Director probably won't work, and besides she lacks experience—there are only a few days left, she won't have time to compete with Zhao Tian."

Lin Yuan however said, "I'm helping her. She lacks experience, but her ability is strong. These past few days I've worked overtime to help her finish her work tasks; perhaps there's still a chance to compete for the director position."

Su Monong thought for a long time, but still agreed.

This is also her only option.

That afternoon, Su Monong directly convened a temporary high-level meeting.

Gu Shiyan was also summoned to the meeting room.

Su Monong publicly proposed that Gu Shiyan also be included among the promotion candidates, allowing her to compete for the director position.

Gu Shiyan herself was shocked??

Director Su actually was willing to give her a chance?

Sun Licheng realized, Su Monong must have discovered Zhao Tian's betrayal?!

However, Sun Licheng wasn't panicking at all; with Gu Shiyan being just a newcomer, how could she possibly seize the director position? And there are only a few days left.

Su Monong must be desperate, grasping at straws, right?

After the meeting ended.

Gu Shiyan went to Su Monong's office to thank her.

As a result, Su Monong coldly said, "Gu Shiyan, this opportunity was secured for you by Lin Yuan. The person you should thank is him."

Gu Shiyan froze upon hearing that?

Lin Yuan? Was it him who helped?

Gu Shiyan went to the secretary's office and personally thanked Lin Yuan.

……

Over the next few days, Gu Shiyan, on her own, and Zhao Tian and Meng Sijie as a pair, entered into fierce competition.

Three women competing for one director position.

Gu Shiyan's shortcoming lies in insufficient experience.

Meanwhile, Zhao Tian's advantage is too obvious: she has worked eight years, is very familiar with the work, and her work progress sheet is almost done.

Her chances of winning are the greatest.

The content of this administrative director competition is for each of the three women to produce an administrative budget sheet.

Whoever can finish the report in the shortest time, and whose content and budget control are the best, wins the competition.

This is also a test by the board of directors for the three women.

Lin Yuan voluntarily helped Gu Shiyan prepare the budget report together.

He even stayed behind to work overtime with Gu Shiyan.

The two stayed in the office pulling all-nighters, working overtime for a full week.

These days the two have been sporting dark circles, very tired.

Tonight is the eighth day the two have worked overtime pulling an all-nighter.

In the office, Gu Shiyan and Lin Yuan sat before the computer, clacking away at the keyboard, compiling the document reports.

Finally, after entering the last datum, Gu Shiyan finally stretched.

"Finally finished!"

She tidied up the documents, then stood up, wanting to relax a bit.

By then it was already 2 a. m.

The two had worked overtime for a week, and could finally finish.

But as Gu Shiyan just stood up, she suddenly collapsed~

She had been sitting too long without moving, and her legs' blood circulation was cut off.

"Ah……!" Gu Shiyan cried out, her delicate body falling straight to the ground.

"Careful." Lin Yuan, seeing the situation, hastily stood up and grabbed her slim waist.

Lin Yuan directly pulled Gu Shiyan into his embrace.

Lin Yuan's heartbeat quickened slightly.

Meanwhile, Gu Shiyan's pretty face was flushed crimson, her heartbeat became more disordered, and her breathing was chaotic.

"Sorry……" Lin Yuan hastily let her go.

At that moment, both of their faces were a little red.

Gu Shiyan, flustered, picked up the cup beside her and took a sip of water.

Lin Yuan also picked up the cup, drinking water to hide his embarrassment.

But after taking a sip he discovered the cup had no water left.

"Did you finish your water?" Gu Shiyan asked softly.

"Uh, yeah……" Lin Yuan replied embarrassedly.

"Then drink my water." Gu Shiyan said softly.

"Ah, that wouldn't be convenient. I'll go downstairs to the supermarket and buy a bottle of mineral water." Lin Yuan explained.

"It's fine, drink mine……" Gu Shiyan said, suddenly grabbing Lin Yuan's tie.

Then Gu Shiyan lightly sipped a mouthful of warm water, using her red lips…… to pass the water to Lin Yuan……

Lin Yuan was completely dazed, his mind entirely blank.

No, make sure this is drinking water??

After a long while, Gu Shiyan finally pushed Lin Yuan away.

Because she could barely catch her breath.

Making him drink water really wastes oxygen.

Lin Yuan remained completely blank, "Assistant Gu... you, what are you doing?"

Gu Shiyan's pretty face was flushed red at this moment; she whispered, "Lin Yuan, thank you for accompanying me while I worked overtime these past days and helping me finish the report. This is a little reward for you..."

Lin Yuan: ……

These days, young girls really know how to have fun, huh? This reward is actually given so "big"!

"Um... I'm going to the bathroom." Lin Yuan fled the office in a panic; he needed to calm down.

That night, the two of them kept working overtime until 5 a. m., only then did it end.

There were still three hours until work started, yet neither of them planned to leave.

Simply, they set up a makeshift bed on the office floor, intending to sleep a few hours before getting ready for work.

Lin Yuan had Gu Shiyan sleep on the desk, for cleanliness.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan laid a layer of cardboard on the floor and slept there like that.

In a daze, Lin Yuan fell asleep.

He didn't know how long he had slept when suddenly… he felt a soft, fragrant sensation in his arms?

Lin Yuan felt somewhat puzzled; he blearily opened his eyes, then suddenly froze??

He saw that in his arms lay a soft, fragrant delicate body—it was Gu Shiyan!

Gu Shiyan blinked her big eyes at this moment; she was clearly not sleepy, just staring at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was completely dazed??

No, how could Gu Shiyan be lying in his arms?

"You're awake, I've been waiting for you a long time," Gu Shiyan said softly and alluringly, and as she spoke she already lightly pressed herself onto Lin Yuan.

"What are you waiting for me to do?" Lin Yuan asked in a panic.

Gu Shiyan lightly replied, "Love."
