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

Zhang Ying walked slowly out of the office with a blank expression. Beneath her delicate face, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a barely perceptible look of disdain flashed quickly in the depths of her eyes.

Instead of going straight back to her office as usual, she walked briskly down to the reception room.

Just then, I happened to see the receptionist carefully carrying a cup of coffee and slowly walking towards the reception room.

Seeing this, Zhang Ying quickly stepped forward.

"Give it to me, I'll take it inside."

Upon hearing this, the receptionist obediently handed the coffee tray to Zhang Ying.

After receiving the coffee tray, Zhang Ying did not immediately go to the reception room. Instead, she turned and headed towards the restroom at the corner not far away.

After entering the restroom, Zhang Ying gently put down the coffee tray in her hand and then stood quietly in front of the huge mirror.

She carefully straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes, then took out a powder compact and lipstick from her handbag and meticulously touched up her makeup.

After everything was tidied up, she nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave the restroom.

When Zhang Ying reappeared in front of the reception room, she could faintly hear hushed conversations coming from inside.

However, she did not stop to listen, but instead very politely raised her right hand, bent her fingers and gently knocked three times on the door.

"Knock knock..."

The crisp knocking sounded particularly clear in the quiet corridor.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ying pushed the door open with a little force and stepped into the reception room.

When Zhou Yan, who was sitting on the sofa, saw Zhang Ying enter, his relaxed brows furrowed slightly involuntarily, but he quickly regained his composure, though a hint of undisguised dissatisfaction was visible in his eyes.

With Fu Lu present, Zhou Yan naturally couldn't lash out on the spot.

Zhang Ying seemed completely oblivious to Zhou Yan's unusual emotions. With a perfectly timed smile on her face, she gracefully walked up to Fu Lu, elegantly placed the coffee on the table, and said softly, "Mr. Fu, please enjoy your coffee."

Fu Lu responded with a faint expression.

Zhang Ying gave Fu Lu a polite smile and stood quietly to the side without leaving.

Fu Lu didn't pay much attention and directly said to Zhou Yan, "I've sent you the bidding proposal. Have you seen it?"

Zhou Yan was a little embarrassed: "I didn't even have time to look before you arrived."

Fu Lu frowned: "What are you doing? I sent it to you last night."

Zhou Yan felt a little guilty: "I had something to do last night."

Fu Lu raised an eyebrow: "Forgot about venting your frustrations?"

Zhou Yan: "..."

That bastard, there are other people here.

Before Zhou Yan could speak, Zhang Ying, undeterred, said, "Mr. Fu, you're joking. Our Mr. Zhou has a girlfriend."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lu was somewhat surprised: "Girlfriend?"

Zhou Yan glanced at Zhang Ying with a cold expression, then explained, "How could that be? I didn't."

Zhang Ying feigned confusion and said, "Huh, I thought that girl was your girlfriend."

Zhou Yan suddenly felt that Zhang Ying was a complete idiot.

He snapped at him impatiently, "Shut up."

Seeing his strong reaction, Fu Lu immediately became interested.

"tell me the story."

Relying on Fu Lu's presence, Zhang Ying thought he would definitely back her up, and that she might be poached by Fu Lu to the Fu family business. So she simply told Fu Lu what had just happened.

"Mr. Fu, I didn't mean to make things difficult for that girl. I was just following the rules, and I had no choice..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yan suddenly said, "Get out."

When he said this, his expression remained calm, and his tone was uneventful.

However, when the message reached Zhang Ying's ears, she could still sense Zhou Yan's anger.

So frightened that he dared not say anything more?

Seeing that she was still standing there, Zhou Yan frowned, a violent aura settling in his eyes. He said, word by word, "I said, get out."

Zhang Ying's face turned pale instantly, and she regretted her actions.

One should not challenge the authority of those in power.

Zhang Ying stammered an apology: "President Zhou, I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to."

Zhou Yan was about to say something when Fu Lu spoke up, "Alright, it's not a big deal."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that Fu Lu wouldn't stand idly by.

As long as they intervene, she will keep her job.

Zhou Yan chuckled: "So, you approve of me being with Yinuo?"

Fu Lu frowned: "What does this have to do with her?"

"Yinuo is in my office right now."

As soon as Zhou Yan spoke, Fu Lu understood.

His face immediately darkened: "You dare?"

Zhou Yan and Qin Xiao exclaimed, "You were just saying it was no big deal, and now you've changed your tune?"

Fu Lu paused, took out his phone, and contacted Wei Yinuo directly.

After the call connected, Wei Yinuo's clear voice came through: "Uncle."

"Come down."

Fu Lu spoke.

Wei Yinuo paused for a moment, then feigned confusion: "Where do we come down?"

"You don't know where I am? Don't make me come up here and catch you."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

He looked up at Zhou Yan and said casually, "Tell me, why did Yi Nuo come to see you? You don't actually have feelings for her that you shouldn't have?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan was about to explain when he saw Zhang Ying standing trembling beside him. He then said coldly, "I told you to get out."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ying's eyes reddened, she bit her lower lip, and looked at Fu Lu with a wronged expression.

Fu Lu ignored her completely, his expression indifferent: "Get out."

Since Fu Lu had said that, Zhang Ying didn't dare to say anything more. Although she was unwilling, she still obediently walked out.

Humph.

She was so angry.

He had hoped to leverage Fu Lu's influence to stay with the company.

But I never expected it to turn out like this.

No man is any good.

She can't stay at this company any longer; she needs to find another way to make a living.

……

As Wei Yinuo limped out of the elevator, she bumped right into Zhang Ying who was coming from the opposite direction.

She gave Zhang Ying a smug smile, then brushed past her and walked straight toward the reception room.

However, after taking less than two steps, Zhang Ying's cold and gloomy voice suddenly came from behind: "Are you feeling smug?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo immediately stopped and turned around, responding without backing down: "Smug? How laughable. You're the one with ulterior motives. If I were you, I'd rather just leave honestly and take the initiative. That way, I might get a little bit of compensation."

After hearing these words, Zhang Ying was so angry that she trembled all over. She clenched her back teeth so hard that her gums almost bled.

Although she was filled with extreme resentment, she was helpless because she knew very well that every word Wei Yinuo said was true.

She snorted indignantly, then turned and disappeared into the elevator without looking back.

Wei Yinuo, on the other hand, scoffed dismissively, then turned around and continued walking firmly toward the reception room.

Just as she reached the door of the reception room, before she even knocked, she heard Zhou Yan's somewhat excited voice coming through the wooden door...
