The President's Tender Trap

A few days after her short trip, Su Wan's mood gradually improved, and her relationship with Lu Ming grew closer. However, the reality of the workplace is not always so rosy. Just when she thought everything was going in the right direction, undercurrents quietly struck.

That day, Su Wan was busy in her office, organizing her project materials and preparing for an upcoming team meeting. Her work was consistently recognized within the company, and her latest project was highly anticipated. But just as she was fully committed, the emergence of a competitor put her in a difficult position.

"Su Wan, I heard how the project you are responsible for is progressing?" Colleague Wang Li said with a hint of disdain in her tone, deliberately shaking the folder in her hand in front of her.

"I think it's pretty good. I'm almost done." Su Wan replied, trying to stay calm.

"Really? I heard that there are some problems with your plan. I don't know if you can submit it on time." Wang Li sneered, her eyes full of provocation.

Su Wan was slightly taken aback, a sudden surge of unease rising within her. She had no idea where Wang Li had gotten this information, but she could sense her hostility. Wang Li was her competitor, always displeased with her, and taking advantage of any opportunity to cause trouble seemed her specialty.

"I will do my best to complete the task." Su Wan said, but she couldn't help feeling a little pressure in her heart.

Over the next few days, Wang Li continued to spread rumors among her colleagues, attempting to influence the company's atmosphere. Whenever Su Wan passed by her desk, Wang Li would deliberately discuss issues related to her project loudly, as if to suggest that everyone should pay attention to Su Wan's work mistakes.

"I heard that Su Wan's project had problems again. It's really worrying." Wang Li's voice was like a harsh bell in the office, bringing great pressure to Su Wan.

Su Wan's mood grew increasingly heavy, facing the questioning and pressure from her colleagues. She struggled to overcome these difficulties, but her inner anxiety only grew. Just then, she received a message from Lu Ming: "Are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."

Su Wan felt a warm feeling in her heart. Despite the heavy pressure, she still decided to meet with Lu Ming. Perhaps his concern could make her relax a little.

In the restaurant, Lu Ming keenly noticed that Su Wan was in a bad mood. "You look tired. What happened?" he asked with concern.

"I... encountered some troubles at work." Su Wan lowered her head, her tone revealing helplessness.

"Is it about the project?" Lu Ming's eyes turned serious, as if he was guessing the seriousness of the matter.

"Yes, my project is constantly being challenged by Wang Li, and I don't know how to deal with it." Su Wan couldn't help but confide her troubles to Lu Ming, with an uneasy glint in her eyes.

Lu Ming listened attentively, his expression gradually becoming resolute. "Don't worry, Wang Li is just trying to improve her own status by discrediting you. We can work together to find a way to resolve this."

"But I'm under a lot of pressure now. Everyone is paying attention to my project." There was a hint of helplessness in Su Wan's voice.

"I can help you. We can discuss the plan together and make sure everything is properly prepared." Lu Ming's tone was full of determination. "Trust me, I will support you."

Su Wan felt Lu Ming's sincerity and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She nodded and decided to trust him.

"Thank you, Lu Ming." Her voice lowered, her heart filled with gratitude.

Over the next few days, Lu Ming arrived as promised, using his lunch break to discuss the project with Su Wan. He not only helped her clarify her thinking but also offered many constructive suggestions. The two of them developed a tacit understanding during their discussions, gradually refining the project's details to perfection.

"This plan is more feasible and everyone will definitely agree with it." Lu Ming's encouragement made Su Wan feel confident, as if her fighting spirit was rekindled.

However, as the project progressed, Wang Li's provocations continued. She constantly spread negative rumors about Su Wan's project to colleagues, attempting to put more pressure on her. Whenever Su Wan entered a meeting room, Wang Li was the first to raise questions, creating an invisible sense of urgency.

"I heard that your plan is not very thorough. Can it really be completed on time?" Wang Li's voice rang out in the meeting, harsh and sharp.

Su Wan tried to remain calm, but a surge of anxiety lingered within her. She looked around and saw a mixture of suspicion and expectation in her colleagues' eyes. She knew she had to hold on.

"I believe our plan is feasible, everyone can rest assured." Su Wan responded firmly, although she was still a little uneasy in her heart.

After the meeting, Su Wan felt even more depressed, as pressure surged like a tide. She stayed in the office for a long time, thinking about how to deal with the next challenge.

"Su Wan, are you still there?" Lu Ming suddenly appeared behind her, interrupting her thoughts.

"I'm here." Su Wan turned around and saw concern in Lu Ming's eyes.

"You've been under a lot of pressure lately. Do you want to go out for a walk?" Lu Ming suggested in a gentle but firm tone.

"Okay." Su Wan nodded, and her inner fatigue seemed to be relieved by Lu Ming's care.

The two of them walked out of the company and strolled through a nearby park. A gentle breeze brought a hint of coolness. Su Wan felt her mood gradually relax, and Lu Ming's company made her feel safe.

"You know what? I've always believed that the most important thing when facing challenges is to maintain confidence." Lu Ming's voice was like a spring breeze, warm and gentle.

"Thank you, Lu Ming. I feel much better with you by my side." Su Wan said softly, her heart full of gratitude.

"We can definitely overcome this difficulty together." Lu Ming's eyes were firm, as if conveying strength.

A few days later, the project entered a critical phase, and Su Wan and Lu Ming's collaboration became even closer. Lu Ming not only provided Su Wan with technical support, but also gave her psychological encouragement, allowing her to gradually regain her confidence.

Finally, the project entered the final review stage. Su Wan was nervous. Although she was confident in her plan, she was still a little nervous when facing the many colleagues in the conference room.

"You can do it." Lu Ming whispered in her ear, encouraging her.

At the start of the meeting, Lu Ming took the initiative to speak in support of Su Wan's proposal. His speech was logically rigorous and fully demonstrated the advantages and feasibility of the proposal. Su Wan listened quietly, deeply moved.

"Thank you all for your support. I believe this project will bring new opportunities to the company." Su Wan stood up, her voice firm and confident. Facing the gazes of her colleagues, she gradually regained her courage.

Finally, the meeting reached a consensus, and Su Wan's project plan was approved. Su Wan's heart was filled with joy, and she couldn't help but smile slightly. She turned around and saw Lu Ming giving her a thumbs up.

"That's great, Su Wan!" Lu Ming smiled, as if he was happy for her success.

"Thank you, Lu Ming. Without your support, I might not be able to complete this project." Su Wan said gratefully, her heart full of trust and dependence on him.

"This is the result of our joint efforts." There was a warm light flashing in Lu Ming's eyes, as if he was silently promising something.

As the project becomes more successful, their relationship gradually heats up. As they face challenges together, Su Wan's trust in Lu Ming grows, and Lu Ming continues to prove his sincerity with his actions.

At a celebration party, Lu Ming took the initiative to say, "We should celebrate properly. I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"

Su Wan smiled and felt warm in her heart. She knew that this was not only a celebration of the project's success, but also a symbol of the warming relationship between them.

In the restaurant, the two toasted to celebrate, Lu Ming's eyes filled with tenderness and determination. "Let's walk the future together," he said softly.
