Bloody Romance: I, the big troublemaker, Zhong Yuemin!

Just as the car parked downstairs, a red Audi slowly drove up and came to a steady stop.

The car door opened, and Liu Jing stepped out, dressed in a smart business suit. She looked exceptionally radiant today, with long, wavy hair cascading over her shoulders, fair skin, and a healthy glow in her eyes.

Compared to the slightly cold atmosphere of the past, it's much warmer now. Indeed, women need a man's gentle touch.

Seeing him get out of the car, Liu Jing immediately put on a professional yet restrained smile:

"Good morning, Mr. Zhong."

"Good morning." Zhong Yuemin walked over, his gaze sweeping over her face with a hint of mockery. "Manager Liu, what high-end skincare products have you been using lately? Your skin... is fair and rosy, so supple and smooth."

As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, bringing his voice close to her ear, lowering it in a tone that only the two of them could understand:

"This... I should have some credit for it, right?"

Two blushes instantly rose on Liu Jing's cheeks, her ears burned, and she subconsciously glanced around, took a step back, and whispered:

"Stop fooling around...someone will see."

The two didn't say anything more and walked into the stairwell side by side.

As I walked up to the office, I encountered many employees who stopped to greet me.

"President Zhong!"

Good morning, Manager Liu!

Zhong Yuemin nodded slightly and casually asked Liu Jing, "It seems like there are quite a few more people in the company? Are they all newly recruited?"

Liu Jing nodded: "Yes. The group's business focus is shifting to the mainland, and various new businesses and projects need to be launched. It's definitely not possible to handle things like I used to with just a few key personnel."

Speaking of this, she straightened her expression:

"I was just about to report to you that the office space here is clearly insufficient and too small. We've only hired a portion of the staff so far, and there will definitely be more in the future. Moreover, when clients come, we don't even have a decent reception room, which really affects the company's image."

She explained her ideas as she walked:

“I think we can take this opportunity to change locations. Beijing is currently making great efforts to attract foreign investment, and there are many supportive and preferential policies for commercial land.”

Our group has its own construction company; we can easily acquire land and build our own office building. This would solve our office problem and also establish our group's headquarters image in the north. What do you think?

Zhong Yuemin nodded and answered decisively, "Okay. If you've made up your mind and think it's feasible, then go ahead and do it. You're in full charge of this matter."

As they spoke, the two had already entered Liu Jing's office.

"I can't take responsibility for that."

Liu Jing closed the door, turned around, and said with a serious expression, "It involves such a large investment. Site selection, planning, construction... every step must be flawless. I dare not take on everything myself."

"No need to be so modest."

Zhong Yuemin walked straight to the sofa and sat down, his posture relaxed.

"What's this little bit of money? We've poured billions of dollars into the Japanese stock market, and it's all been managed by you. Go ahead and do it with confidence."

He paused, a meaningful smile playing at the corners of his lips:

"I will be behind you... silently supporting you."

Liu Jing rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

Since the two had their most in-depth and thorough "confession," their relationship has long since transcended the simple superior-subordinate dynamic. In private, they interact more like a close couple, and their conversations have become much more casual.

She enjoys her current situation, able to say whatever she wants, feeling relaxed and at ease.

"You might as well just say you want to be a hands-off boss, instead of making up all these excuses." She said while tidying up the documents on the table, "And then I'm supposed to be grateful to you, thanking you for your 'trust,' right?"

Zhong Yuemin didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he got up and sat in the chair opposite her desk, leaned forward, and his right hand naturally rested on her plump and elastic thigh, which was clad in stockings.

"How is this considered shaking off my hand?"

He was talking nonsense with a straight face.

"I'm working really hard too, okay? Let's not talk about anything else, just take this past week or so, I've been coming to your house every few days to 'report on my work,' working day and night..."

His gaze lingered on her face, deliberately drawing out the words:

"Look at you, isn't your skin so supple and radiant? This is all thanks to my hard work. What's that saying again? Behind every successful man, there's a woman who silently supports him."

He changed the subject, his smile turning sinister:

"The reverse is also true. Behind every beautiful and capable career woman, there is a good man who silently supports her tirelessly, sweating profusely, and working hard."

Liu Jing looked at his winking and meaningful expression, and heard the words he deliberately emphasized—"support," "tireless"...

What kind of good word is that?!

She felt a surge of heat throughout her body, feeling both ashamed and embarrassed, and quickly and gently slapped away his hand that was playing with her lap.

"Stop fooling around... This is an office, someone will be coming in to report on their work in a bit."

She simply stood up and walked to the other side of the desk, trying to distance herself from him. But she knew his cunning and audacity; in a fit of rage, he was capable of anything. She recalled the passionate scene at her own home earlier…

Entrance hall, living room, kitchen, balcony...

It's so embarrassing to even think about it; how did I fall for his trick?

Forcibly steer the topic back on track:

"Oh, right, there's something else important. Jianlibao's new bottling production line has been put into operation, but you were right—the equipment has encountered quite a few problems during operation."

According to the previous agreement, all of this is within the warranty period, and the Japanese manufacturer should be responsible for repairs unconditionally. However, they are now arguing with us, saying that some problems are caused by damaged parts and should not be covered by the warranty, requiring additional payment.

Her tone was clearly annoyed:

"Moreover, they actually expect us to cover the airfare, accommodation, and meals for the maintenance personnel they sent from Japan! They're treating us like suckers; it's pure profiteering!"

Zhong Yuemin crossed his right leg over his left, his face expressionless.

"Have the people from the manufacturer arrived yet?"

"They said they'd be there next week. When they arrive, you'd better step forward and negotiate properly with them. Even if we don't always value contracts, there's always a written agreement, so we have to be reasonable."

"Ah!"

He smiled.

"Manager Liu, the spirit of contracts and integrity... to a large extent, require both parties to be on the same level in terms of strength and competence. If there is a significant gap between the two parties, it's like us versus someone else..."

When a little kid and an adult have a conflict of interest, do you think people will treat each other fairly?

"We can't just stand by and watch ourselves suffer such a huge loss, can we?"

Liu Jing looked at the man; in her memory, this guy was definitely not the type to suffer a loss or admit defeat.
