Chapter 2

Qin Zhao raised her eyebrows slightly, seeming indifferent to Zhao Feibai's words.

Seeing this, Zhao Feibai added unsatisfactorily, "If you dare provoke Nan Yue again in the future and destroy her happiness, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Knowing so clearly, this person must have installed listening devices in the president's office. How sneaky.

Qin Zhao chuckled and said, "So the backup has come to life?!

If you really have the ability, go find Ye Chenxi to duel instead of getting excited with me, a bystander. How ridiculous."

Zhao Feibai's face changed slightly, but he still tried to stay calm. "You...don't be too arrogant! Let's wait and see!"

After threatening, Zhao Feibai quickly left the scene.

Rather than leaving, it was more like fleeing in defeat.

Qin Zhao didn't take him to heart. Compared to such irrelevant passersby.

The most important thing now was to think about how to get close to Nan Yue.

She sat down at her workstation and the colleague next to her, Li Li, handed her a cup of coffee with a flattering smile, "Xiao Qin, coffee."

Qin Zhao looked at the coffee hesitantly, wondering if she should accept it.

Li Li was known in the company as a big gossip. Getting involved with her would inevitably damage her ears in the future.

Qin Zhao waved her hand and said, "Thank you, Sis Li, but no need."

Li Li frowned, her eyes roamed over Qin Zhao's face, full of scrutiny.

Having been colleagues with Qin Zhao for half a month, she wouldn't say she knew her well, but she did know her to some extent.

The previous Qin Zhao was a pushover who would never reject a colleague's request. How did she suddenly change?

Li Li couldn't let it go over her face. She spoke sarcastically, but Qin Zhao ignored her as if she was just a gust of wind.

However, Li Li got more and more excited. "What's going on, you're suddenly so confident, could it be that you've caught the big thigh of Mr. Ye?"

This remark was in line with Li Li's gossipy style. According to Li Li’s nitpicking and exaggerating personality.

If Qin Zhao didn't respond, within two days, the company would start spreading that she had already climbed into President Ye's bed.

But Qin Zhao didn't want to respond. She was just worried about finding a reason to get in touch with Nan Yue. Why not take advantage of the rumors to make Nan Yue take the initiative to find her.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhao gave Li Li a vague look to let her make her own judgement.

Seeing Qin Zhao's performance, Li Li immediately "understood".

She didn't dare bother Qin Zhao anymore. In case Qin Zhao really got involved with President Ye, she certainly couldn't afford to provoke her.

So Li Li returned to her workstation with a jealous and contemptuous attitude. Qin Zhao was also happy to have some peace and quiet and continued her work.

As Ye Chenxi's assistant, her main job was to arrange his schedule properly.

Such a job didn't teach much experience or knowledge. The only benefit was it’s ease.

After a day's work, it felt just like fishing all day.

At 5 o'clock on the dot, Qin Zhao got up and tidied her desk, preparing to get off work.

She saw that no one except her stood up in the entire office area.

Qin Zhao frowned in disgust and thought to herself that the world in books were all about overtime work.

The author of this book must be the kind of hard-working person who wrote using the little rest time they had. In a hurry, they didn't grasp the character settings of the characters well, and were the culprit behind the female lead's villainization.

Qin Zhao scolded the author in her heart, then got up and walked out.

But she was stopped by a man, "Qin Zhao, where are you going?"

Qin Zhao turned her head to look at the speaker.

The man was called Zhang Zhen, about thirty-five years old. His face was oily and his pores were large, making people feel disgusted just by looking at him again.

Qin Zhao looked away slightly and said flatly, "Getting off work."

Zhang Zhen frowned, dissatisfaction already written on his face: "Seniors are still working, as a newcomer, don't you know what to do?"

The implication was that she should go run some errands and buy coffee.

Qin Zhao glanced at the onlookers. Some were still tapping on the keyboard, some were organizing documents, but perceptive people could see that their minds were not on work.

Although they said they were working overtime, most people were just going through the motions and wanted to leave a good impression on their superiors.

But Qin Zhao believed that to do a good job, you need to have enough rest time.

Working overtime again and again would only make the workplace a mess.

Impatiently, Qin Zhao said, "I can see you work very hard, how come I haven't seen you get promoted?"

It was useless to reason with this kind of person. You had to hit them where it hurts and poke at their sore spots.

As expected, Zhang Zhen's face turned red when he heard this!

He clenched his fists as if he wanted to lose his temper.

The atmosphere in the office immediately became tense.

Everyone's attention was drawn over.

Some people silently admired this newcomer who dared to get off work on time, while the seasoned professionals wanted to see Qin Zhao get taught a lesson.

Daring to challenge tradition meant being prepared to be struck down by defenders of morality.

However, before everyone could see the intense scene they expected, the person who came out of the president's office interrupted it.

Ye Chenxi walked over to Qin Zhao's side. Zhang Zhen promptly put away his hostile expression and replaced it with an ingratiating smile.

Everyone greeted Ye Chenxi.

"President Ye."

"Hello, President Ye."

...

Ye Chenxi smiled and spoke, "Hello everyone, since it's off work time, go home early."

This remark was obviously to indicate that he was taking Qin Zhao's side.

As a result, Zhang Zhen's expression became very ugly, but soon returned to normal.

He didn't dare sing a different tune in front of the president.

The employees had different expressions, but the way they looked at Qin Zhao had subtly changed. Several envious gazes stood out in particular.

After deciding to court the female lead, Qin Zhao was unwilling to respond to any of Ye Chenxi's overtures. As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zhao left.

Ye Chenxi watched Qin Zhao's back and frowned slightly.

Then he curved the corners of his mouth almost imperceptibly, thinking that Qin Zhao was trying to attract his attention through playing hard to get.

Woman, you did get my attention.

Unaware of the boss's thoughts, Qin Zhao had already walked out of the company.

At the entrance of the company, she saw Nan Yue waiting in a luxury car.

She was probably waiting for Ye Chenxi to get off work.

As the female lead, even a white shirt looked glamorous on Nan Yue.

Her wavy black hair fluttered gently in the wind, as if plucking at the audience's heartstrings.

Passersby couldn't help but linger for her.

Of course, it would be even better if she didn't look at Qin Zhao with disgust, Qin Zhao thought.

The two made eye contact for a moment before looking away.

Nan Yue did it because she didn't want to see Qin Zhao, while Qin Zhao was because she hadn't figured out what expression to face Nan Yue with at the moment.

Qin Zhao stopped looking at Nan Yue and walked in the direction of home.

There were still many days left, no need to rush things.

Arriving at the apartment complex where the original owner lived, Qin Zhao couldn't help but sigh. This place was too shabby.

No wonder the original urgently wanted to rely on the male lead. After living in hardship for too long, once you encounter someone capable of pulling you out of the mire, you may really lose yourself.

It seemed she had to make some money first.

Qin Zhao was not familiar with this world, so she decisively asked the system, "502, tell me, what methods can quickly make money? Don't you have a system store? Help me out."

It wasn't that she didn't have the ability to make money, she just wanted to save effort if possible. If there was a shortcut, why not take it?

Unfortunately, 502's answer disappointed her a little.
