The President's Tender Trap

In the bustling company conference room, Su Wan sat at a corner of a long table, feeling a surge of apprehension. Today was her first major meeting since joining the company, and her gaze was drawn to the man in the center, sorting through documents. Lu Ming, the legendary, ruthless and overbearing CEO, was so handsome he looked like something out of a novel, his features deep and his figure tall, as if the air around him had become thinner.

"Is this the legendary domineering CEO? He is so handsome!" Su Wan thought to herself, almost covering her heart, fearing that it would jump out because of the charm of this male god.

But just when she was intoxicated by the imaginary prince charming, Lu Ming looked up and glanced at her coldly, his eyes as cold as ice, as if saying: "What are you doing here? Get out!" Su Wan's heart tightened, and she immediately realized that she seemed to be a "redundant existence", and her heart instantly sank to the bottom.

"Hello, I'm Su Wan." She mustered her courage and forced herself to smile and introduce herself, but in her heart she was thinking, "What a warrior I am! I knew there was a fire pit ahead, but I still jumped in!"

Lu Ming simply nodded and continued to look down at the documents, seemingly contemplating how to run the company better. He paid no attention to Su Wan's presence. Su Wan felt a pang of disappointment and thought, "Why is this guy so cold? Did he drink some ice water?"

By this time, the atmosphere in the conference room had begun to become tense. While the other colleagues were chatting, Su Wan felt like the whole world was slapping her in the face. So, she decided to fight back, thinking, "If he ignores me, I'll show him how powerful I am!"

The meeting began, with Lu Ming, the moderator, and everyone speaking. Su Wan interjected, trying to demonstrate her competence, but each time she spoke, she was interrupted by Lu Ming's "What the hell are you talking about?" Finally, Su Wan couldn't hold it in any longer, her anger boiling inside her, and she decided to engage in a war of words.

"Mr. Lu, I think the plan you just mentioned is actually not reasonable..." She pretended to be calm, but her tone was a little disdainful.

"Su Wan, I think your ability to understand needs to be improved." Lu Ming hit back mercilessly, with a hint of coldness in his tone.

"You are the one who needs to improve your comprehension ability! I'm talking about market analysis, don't you understand?" Su Wan's voice rose eight octaves, as if announcing her presence.

"Are you questioning my ability?" Lu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little surprised.

"I'm just questioning your judgment!" Su Wan said righteously, but inwardly she was thinking, "I'm screwed now. What an emotional CEO!"

My colleagues stared wide-eyed, as if watching a brilliant drama. The air was thick with awkwardness and tension; even the birds outside the window stopped chirping, fearing the aftermath of this verbal spat would be affected.

"I think we can find a compromise." Finally, a colleague broke the deadlock and tried to reconcile the tension between the two.

"Don't hold us back!" Su Wan and Lu Ming said almost in unison, their eyes meeting in the air, sparks flying.

"Well, it seems we both have our own personalities." Lu Ming finally smiled, and Su Wan secretly rejoiced in her heart: "This guy can actually smile, it seems he's not completely cold and heartless!"

As the meeting progressed, Su Wan gradually realized that although Lu Ming was arrogant, he did have his strengths. She thought to herself, "This guy, although he has a sharp tongue, seems to be someone you can talk to." Lu Ming, on the other hand, thought to himself, "This girl may be emotional, but she does have potential."

After the meeting, Su Wan left the conference room with mixed feelings. The argument had just made her feel a surge of excitement, as if this was the true meaning of the workplace. However, she couldn't help but shudder when she thought of Lu Ming's cold eyes.

"Su Wan, you performed very well today!" Lin Xiaoyu, Su Wan's best friend, appeared in front of her with an encouraging smile on her face.

"Me? Did I perform well?" Su Wan frowned in confusion. "I clearly had a fight with Lu Ming!"

"That's exciting! You have no idea how popular he is in the company. It's such a rare opportunity to argue with him!" Lin Xiaoyu looked excited, as if she had just watched a wonderful movie.

"It's so rare! I think he might fire me!" Su Wan shook her head helplessly, but there was a hint of pride in her heart, "But... maybe I will make him remember me."

"Keep up this state, maybe you will get unexpected gains!" Lin Xiaoyu patted Su Wan's shoulder and blinked expectantly.

A few days later, Su Wan and Lu Ming were assigned to work together again. This time, the project involved the marketing of a new product, and the atmosphere was tense as always. Su Wan thought to herself, "I must perform well this time. I can't let him look down on me again!"

She worked hard, but whenever she made a suggestion, Lu Ming would look at her with a look that said, "Are you sure this is a good idea?", which made her feel stressed.

"We can try this direction." Su Wan mustered up her courage and tried to appear confident.

"It sounds good, but we need more detailed data support." Lu Ming responded calmly.

"Okay, I can help you collect data." Su Wan nodded, but she was thinking in her heart: "This guy is such a workaholic, he doesn't even want to let go of a little creative idea!"

As time went by, Su Wan gradually discovered that Lu Ming was not just a cold-blooded CEO. He was rigorous and serious in his work, but he also had a unique sense of humor and occasionally said something that made people laugh.

"Su Wan, I think your proposal this time is really... very special, so special that it makes me question my life." Lu Ming looked serious, but there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

"You said I'm special, and I think you're special too, so special that I want to slap you!" Su Wan showed no sign of weakness, and the tension between the two seemed to have returned.

"Okay, then you try it." Lu Ming smiled slightly, seeming very satisfied with this reaction.

As their interactions increased, their misunderstandings gradually dissipated. Although they continued to argue verbally, the distance between them was gradually narrowing. Su Wan discovered that Lu Ming was not the ruthless and overbearing CEO she had imagined, but a man with ideals and aspirations.

"It seems that my previous judgment was a bit wrong." Su Wan muttered to herself, and her attitude towards Lu Ming began to change slightly.

"If we continue to cooperate, we may discover more interesting things." She decided secretly, her heart full of anticipation.

This is the story of Su Wan and Lu Ming's first encounter, a workplace adventure filled with tension and humor. As their collaboration deepens, the future will usher in more challenges and laughter. Who could have imagined that this quarrel would be the beginning of love?
