He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

Wu Xue nodded slightly without saying anything.

Song Zhi didn't pay any attention and walked past her toward the office.

He had only taken a couple of steps when Wu Xue's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Wait a minute."

Song Zhi stopped and turned to look at the other person: "What's wrong?"

"You're Song Zhi?"

Song Zhi nodded. "Yes."

Wu Xue asked, "How long have you been here?"

Song Zhi answered truthfully, "This is the second week."

Wu Xue raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised: "You haven't been officially hired yet? I remember you signed an employment contract."

Song Zhi nodded slightly: "Yes, Supervisor Li said that we will review the assessment again in a month."

Wu Xue waved her hand: "I understand, go to work."

"Okay, manager."

After Song Zhi entered the office, Wu Xue headed towards Li Ming's office.

When Li Ming saw Wu Xue, he immediately stood up with a smile: "Sister Wu, what made you decide to come over?"

After sitting down on the sofa, Wu Xue's gaze fell on the teacups on the coffee table.

She raised an eyebrow: "Did Song Zhigang come to your office?"

Li Ming paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I need to talk to her about some work-related matters."

Are you familiar with her?

Li Ming asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

“I went to the HR department and looked at her resume, and she didn’t have any experience.”

Upon hearing Wu Xue's words, Li Ming immediately understood: "You mean she has connections?"

Wu Xue nodded: "Could it be that you know President Pei?"

"Mr. Pei?"

"HR said that after President Pei saw her resume, he arranged for her to stay."

Upon hearing this, Li Ming was still a bit unsure. If the person behind Song Zhi was President Pei, he couldn't see any relationship between the two.

If there were no issues, then today's absence is blatantly obvious.

Li Ming looked puzzled: "That's unlikely, isn't it?"

"It's hard to say. You should find out more about it later."

Li Ming was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"The company doesn't need useless people. If that's the case, we'll evaluate the probation period and dismiss them if necessary."

Li Ming nodded: "I understand, I'll look into it later."

Wu Xue nodded slightly: "What did the person in charge say about Xin Hong's case?"

"It's still dragging on, and I don't know if I can get it done."

"Follow up on this carefully, and come up with a plan yourself. Submit it to me next Monday."

"clear."

After seeing Wu Xue off, Li Ming couldn't stop thinking about Song Zhi.

Could there really be a connection?

If that's the case, then he'd better be careful.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and dialed the HR number.

After the call connected, Li Ming went straight to the point: "Do you know what the relationship is between Song Zhi and President Pei?"

A puzzled voice came from HR: "What's wrong?"

"No, just ask."

The HR representative answered truthfully, "It shouldn't be a problem. I'm not entirely sure about the specifics. If you want to know, you can ask President Pei's assistant."

Upon hearing this, Li Ming quickly denied it: "Never mind."

Asking his assistant would be the death of him, wouldn't it?

A new broom sweeps clean, and once you stand out, the boss will take notice, and you'll have to be extremely careful in everything you do.

After hanging up the phone, Li Ming opened WeChat and sent a message to Song Zhi.

Li Ming: [Xin Hong's project proposal, please work overtime this weekend and send it to me Sunday night.]

Song Zhi did not reply.

Feeling a bit bored, Li Ming opened Song Zhi's WeChat Moments.

It will only be visible for three days.

Li Ming was a little annoyed that he couldn't see anything.

He went back to Song Zhi's WeChat chat page and sent her another message.

Li Ming: [Why is your WeChat Moments only visible for three days? Show it to me.]

After the message was sent, my phone suddenly rang.

When Li Ming saw the caller ID, a flicker of annoyance crossed his eyes. He answered the phone, smiling as he said, "Wife~"

……

Song Zhi returned to her workstation, thinking about Li Ming's suggestion to have a get-together.

Without much thought, she sent a message directly in the work group.

Song Zhi: [Our supervisor said our department is having a dinner party. Does anyone have any objections? Let's discuss what to eat.]

No one replied after the message was sent.

Song Zhi was somewhat puzzled.

Before Song Zhi could send a message, a colleague sent her a private message.

She was Liang Yao, a new colleague who had just joined the company.

Liang Yao: [Song Zhi, did the supervisor ask you to inform everyone?]

Song Zhi was a little confused, but she still edited a message and sent it to her.

Song Zhi: [Yes, he told me that in the office just now.]

Liang Yao: [Are you stupid? Why did you say it directly in the work group?]

Song Zhi asked, puzzled: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Liang Yao: [Have you seen anyone reply to you yet?]

Song Zhi glanced at it, but there was still nothing.

She didn't understand the intricacies of the workplace, and just as she was about to tag everyone, Liang Yao sent her a message.

Liang Yao: 【We're newcomers.】

Song Zhi immediately understood.

But the message had already been sent, and Song Zhi didn't know what to do.

Forget it.

Anyway, the notification has already been given.

Song Zhi didn't pay any more attention and picked up her phone to tell Li Ming.

As soon as I opened WeChat, I saw a message from Li Ming.

Song Zhi frowned.

I feel a little uncomfortable.

He ignored the second message from Li Ming, replied to the one about making a proposal, and then put his phone away.

……

Fu's office.

He fiddled with his phone, glancing at the messages every now and then.

Song Zhi did not reply.

Just as Fu Lu was hesitating whether to continue messaging Song Zhi, Song Zhi's message popped up.

He clicked on it with some excitement.

Fu Lu was stunned when he saw the brief photo of him at work.

Work?

Doesn't she ever take a break?

Thinking of last night, Fu Lu's Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously.

His fingers flew across the phone screen as he told Song Zhi that he would pick her up after get off work.

But Song Zhi did not reply.

Fu Lu started overthinking again.

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open from the outside.

Zhou Yan walked in, looked at Fu Lu who was staring blankly at his phone, and teased with a smile, "Didn't you eat enough last night? You look so unsatisfied."

Fu Lu placed her phone face down on the table, looked up at him, and said, "Are you sick? What nonsense are you spouting?"

Zhou Yan gave an awkward chuckle and then tossed the car keys onto his desk.

Here, your car keys.

Fu Lu remained silent.

Zhou Yan leaned closer and froze when he saw the embossed mark on Fu Lu's slightly open shirt collar.

He pointed.

Fu Lu looked down and saw the teeth marks on his chest, then said with a smug look, "My wife bit me, is there a problem?"

Zhou Yan raised an eyebrow: "It seems the battle last night was quite intense."

Fu Lu rolled his eyes at him but didn't say anything.

Zhou Yan sat down on the sofa and said lazily, "I say, Ninth Brother, you're working too hard. You don't even get to spend some time with your wife."

Fu Lu asked in confusion, "Tenderly care about what?"

Zhou Yan was slightly taken aback, then burst out laughing, teasing, "Was last night your first time? You didn't even know that?"
