The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

After Tingting left as an intern, the other seven stayed. The day they were officially hired happened to be the day of the department's team building event.

The newly hired interns' eyes lit up because during the interview, someone asked about the company's team-building benefits, specifically whether it would take up employees' weekends and whether they would have to pay for it themselves.

The HR representative said that team building is one of the ways the company cultivates teamwork among its employees. Of course, it is held on weekdays, so it will not take up employees' rest time and will not cost them anything.

Each department's budget is determined by the previous month's KPI assessment results. Team building locations can be chosen by lottery, and different budget ranges have different lottery boxes.

Since it was a team-building activity for the whole department, everyone was waiting for the manager to draw lots.

The manager waved his hand: "You guys draw lots. It's also a good opportunity for interns to be promoted to full-time positions. You interns send one of you to draw lots."

Luo Huai was really too conspicuous.

Whether it's physique, appearance, or academic performance, she's outstanding.

Since there wasn't much competition between them at the moment, they naturally got along harmoniously, and Luo Huai was asked to draw a ticket.

Luo Huai said, "Then I'll smoke?"

"Go ahead and smoke!" a group of people jeered.

Luo Huai reached into the box, pulled out a crumpled piece of paper, opened it, and read: "Drunken Immortal Restaurant".

Ok?

Drunken Immortal Restaurant?

The one with Brother Shen?

Luo Huai was stunned for a moment, while the other interns' eyes lit up again.

"Drunken Immortal Restaurant! You can't just book a table there if you have money."

"The company benefits are amazing!"

The veteran employees were also overjoyed. Although this was the second time they had won the prize from Zuixian Restaurant, it had been half a year since the last time, and they were craving it.

Moreover, family members can also be brought along.

The manager smiled and said, "The owner of Zuixian Restaurant is a friend of our boss, but that's nothing. The departments that rank at the top in performance evaluations can even win a three-day, two-night cruise trip."

However, their department can't reach that.

This is not something I can say to the employees; let's give them something to look forward to.

"It'll be tomorrow afternoon. We'll have a short meeting and then I'll go. You can bring family members, but only one friend." After saying that, the manager took his coffee back to his office.

Everyone knows Luo Huai is married, and someone asked, "Is your husband coming?"

Luo Huai smiled and said, "I need to ask him if he's at work."

Kelly couldn't help but recall what Tingting had said: if a rich second-generation young master truly loved Luo Huai, he wouldn't have let her come to work by herself and even have team-building meals together.

Is my rich second-generation husband busy racing cars and picking up girls somewhere?

“We’re all bringing our families and friends. If you don’t bring yours, Luo Huai, you’ll be all alone,” Kelly said with a smile, her words devoid of any sarcasm. The others laughed and echoed her sentiments.

Luo Huai smiled but said nothing.

The team leader frowned, and after a while said to Luo Huai, "It doesn't matter whether you bring it or not. I didn't bring it. Don't listen to Kelly's clamor."

"Kelly has been with the company for many years but has never been promoted, which allowed me to surpass her. She always tells people that she doesn't want to be a leader, that the company's benefits are good and she doesn't care about promotions, and that she's indifferent to the world. But that's not what she really thinks. Once, during a team building event, she brought her son, and he let slip that I was taking her place. He had a stern face like a tomboy, but I didn't tell anyone. After all, she's a senior employee, and she was the one who mentored me when I first joined."

"Actually, as long as she doesn't bring it up in public, she'll only complain to her close friends and family behind their backs."

"Everyone complains at work."

Luo Huai laughed immediately and said seriously, "But I think you're so cool, I'm a little envious."

“You have your advantages in being cool, and you have your advantages in being quiet.” The team leader smiled, her red lips curving upwards.

Luo Huai went home from get off work and had just started to say, "Our department is having a team building activity tomorrow afternoon..."

"Oh, then I'll ask the company for half a day off." Xing Yanzhao looked at Luo Huai, who had paused slightly. "Don't you want to take me with you?"

"No, I also wanted to ask you if you're going or not, and if it's okay if you go."

"It's okay if you don't go. You're not taking me, but Zhu Shuangshuang?"

Luo Huai smelled the sour smell and came up to him, saying, "Shuangshuang is busy. Her aunt and uncle called her to ask if she should go home to take the civil service exam or stay in Ningcheng. If she stays in Ningcheng to work, they will close the breakfast shop and use the money they have saved over the years to pay for her down payment in Ningcheng and open another shop."

"Shuangshuang originally planned to stay in Ningcheng, but after being hurt by that junior, Ningcheng is still a place of heartbreak for her, and she has been hesitant ever since."

"Actually, it's good for Uncle and Aunt to come to Ningcheng. I've sold the car, house, and jewelry, but I don't have a shop yet. Although the location isn't a so-called prime location, it's not bad either, and there's foot traffic. I can rent one of the shops to Uncle and Aunt at a discount, so it won't be troublesome for them to see Shuangshuang in the future."

Xing Yanzhao listened quietly and said, "You can do whatever you want. He's your only good friend. Back then, Lao Shen and I also agreed to stay in Ningcheng to look after each other. Han Si isn't entirely like that."

"He's partly driven by women."

"You all know each other?"

"Hmm." Xing Yanzhao didn't really want to talk about it, so he said "Let's not talk about it" and moved on, then started talking about himself, "I wasn't here at first."

"You went to country Y, you told me that."

“Yeah, it’s easy to make money abroad.” As if thinking of something, Xing Yanzhao couldn’t help but click his tongue. “The food is fucking awful.”

Luo Huai chuckled.

"Is this why you don't like Western food or molecular gastronomy?"

"What's so good about that stuff? A bowl of noodles would be much better." Xing Yanzhao raised an eyebrow. "Are you hungry? I'll make you a bowl of noodles."

Luo Huai noticed that he actually enjoyed making noodles for her, and nodded, "Thank you, Brother Zhao."

"Call my husband."

Luo Huai pursed her lips; she really couldn't bring herself to say it.

They are usually forced to scream in bed.

She couldn't help but blush at the thought of it.

Xing Yanzhao thought she felt ashamed to call him "husband," so he clicked his tongue and didn't force her anymore. He went to the kitchen and made her a bowl of noodles. Watching her eat slowly and carefully, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Luo Huai saw this and pushed the noodles towards him: "Want some?"

"are you full?"

"Mmm." Luo Huai nodded, her bright eyes wide open.

"Then I'll eat." Xing Yanzhao stood up and walked towards Luo Huai.

Luo Huai asked, confused, "Sit here with me?"

The next instant, he was lifted into the air and picked up again.

Xing Yanzhao carried her to the master bedroom, kicked the door shut with his foot, and without turning on the light, accurately placed her on the large bed in the darkness.

The man's tall, warm body pressed down on him.

"Are you still afraid?"

Luo Huai opened her misty eyes, shook her head, and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid..."

"like?"

"Hmm..." The voice was barely audible.

……

Luo Huai was sweating; it was from the heat and from exhaustion.

The places her hands touched were also covered in the man's sticky sweat.

……

The team building day was scheduled for afternoon activities, followed by dinner at mealtime.

The event was organized by HR and took place in the backyard of Zuixian Restaurant. Right now, the employees were playing games. Some of their family members had come, while others could only come during mealtime.

Luo Huai received a call from Xing Yanzhao, who said he was a bit busy with work and would be coming over later, around five o'clock.

"Okay, no rush, just come and eat." Luo Huai's tone was a little guilty. She felt quite embarrassed last night because she couldn't fulfill Xing Yanzhao's wish.

She was almost there; she just had to grit her teeth and get it done.

At the crucial moment, Brother Zhao stopped.

"Luohuai".

"Ok?"

Have fun this afternoon. If you have any questions, ask Lao Shen.

"I know."

"Then hang up."

"Hmm..." Luo Huai suddenly felt a little reluctant to hang up. She and Brother Zhao never mentioned liking or loving each other, but she just felt her heart start pounding again, and she felt reluctant to part.

The call was not immediately disconnected.

Luo Huai asked, "Why aren't you hanging it?"

"You can hang up now, or not, as long as wearing headphones doesn't affect your gameplay," Xing Yanzhao said. "I'll finish up quickly, and you'll definitely see me at five o'clock."

With Xing Yanzhao's assurance, Luo Huai gradually calmed down and hung up the phone.

As I turned around, a colleague joked, "Talking to your husband on the phone? Has he arrived yet? We haven't met your husband yet."

"He has something to do and will be coming for dinner."

"That's alright, we'll just play by ourselves." Her colleague pulled her over.

Kelly, who was playing with her son, curled her lips into a deep sneer. She didn't care, and that was that. She wouldn't be here until dinner.

Being a rich family's young mistress isn't so easy.

How many arranged marriages are truly based on mutual love and affection?

Really.
