Reborn as a heiress, she transforms into a ruthless vengeful woman.

Hua Qingmeng's office is very large. After entering through the main door, you are greeted by a floor-to-ceiling window.

Hua Qingmeng's office was on the left side of the room, behind which was a whole wall of bookshelves.

Ye Xinghe's desk was right across from his, no more than ten meters away.

Although Ye Xinghe hadn't worked a single day in her previous life, she was still well aware of office rules. Getting too close to a leader wasn't necessarily a good thing, especially a high-ranking, handsome, and wealthy single male leader like him. Too much contact would inevitably lead to gossip.

Ye Xinghe tentatively asked, "Don't I need to be with the other team members? It would be easier to discuss work if I'm closer to them."

Hua Qingmeng turned on her computer and said casually, "You can discuss anything with me. Go out."

Ye Xinghe had no choice but to leave all her belongings on her desk. In addition to a backpack, she also carried a large canvas bag containing her water bottle, cushion, computer, mouse, and some snacks.

She put her things down without tidying them up and left the office.

After Ye Xinghe left, Hua Qingmeng looked up at the fancy things on the opposite table and smiled softly.

He got up, walked over, took a picture of the yellow star-shaped cups and snacks on the table, and then sent it to Furukawa.

"Buy me the same cup, the blue one. Also, prepare a box of these snacks and put it in my office; I'll just refill it when we run out."

The offices of Groups A, B, and C were not far from Hua Qingmeng's office. From the office, there was a corridor with individual offices for various leaders on both sides, followed by a large office area. Group A was on the far left, Group B in the middle, and Group C on the far right.

There are no partitions between the three groups, only a relatively spacious aisle in the middle.

After Ye Xinghe left, she went to Group A first.

The deputy leader of Group A is Su Xiaotong, who also comes from Beijing and is Shen Yan's classmate.

Although Su Xiaotong's appearance is not outstanding, she is the kind of person whose looks grow on you. Her expression is always very serious, giving people a feeling of "keep away."

Ye Xinghe handed her the meal card, exchanged WeChat contacts with her, and then went to Group B.

Wang Yu, the deputy leader of Group B, saw Ye Xinghe coming from afar and quickly got up to greet her, saying with a grin, "Group Leader Ye, have you come to our Group B in person to give us some instructions?"

Ye Xinghe rolled her eyes at him and placed a stack of meal cards on the table. "Here, take these. They're for your colleagues to use when they eat."

Then he told him the time and place for his lunch break.

Wang Yu invited her to lunch at a restaurant. Ye Xinghe noticed out of the corner of her eye that Shen Yan was watching them. She didn't want to continue talking to Wang Yu and was about to leave when Lin Hao poked his head out of his office. "Ye Xinghe, come in here for a moment."

Lin Hao sat casually in his chair, his feet propped up on the desk, a stark contrast to his demeanor during the meeting.

"How's it going? Getting used to work? If Hua Lao Er bullies you, come find me, and I'll take care of him!"

Ye Xinghe looked at him expressionlessly, thinking to herself, "I haven't done anything all morning, what's there to be unaccustomed to? Besides, he's the chairman, who are you going to mess with! Give me a rest!"

Seeing her expression, Lin Hao assumed she was still angry, so he quickly put his feet down and explained, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just haven't found the right opportunity to say it."

Ye Xinghe didn't want to linger too long in the B group office. She glanced at her watch and said, "Team Leader Lin, I still need to go to our C group to distribute meal cards. It'll be lunch break in ten minutes, and my colleagues must be getting anxious."

After saying that, she pushed open the door and left. She hadn't gone far when she saw Shen Yan waiting for her on the side.

"Ye Xinghe, what did Hua Qingmeng say to you just now?"

Shen Yan's tone was not friendly; she addressed him by his full name right away.

Ye Xinghe spread out her hands. "I'll issue meal cards."

Shen Yan blocked Ye Xinghe's path, crossing her arms over her chest. "Let me tell you the truth. I'm Hua Qingmeng's girlfriend, and nobody in the company knows. I hope you can stay away from him."

Ye Xinghe glanced at her sideways and said nonchalantly, "Why do you need to tell me if you two are boyfriend and girlfriend? I have absolutely no interest in your private life."

"Also, please make this clear: I didn't know who the group leader was when I chose Group C. Even after I found out, I agreed to switch with you. It was Hua Qingmeng who said I couldn't switch."

Ye Xinghe pushed her aside, took a step forward, then stepped back. "By the way, it's not that I don't want to stay away from him, it's that he insisted on arranging for me to stay in his office. If you have any complaints, go and talk to him."

Shen Yan gritted her teeth in hatred as she watched Ye Xinghe's retreating figure! Why did Lin Hao know her? Why did Hua Qingmeng arrange for her to be in his office? It seems her guess was right; they knew each other before!

Not long ago, when Shen Yan was still in the capital, she visited the Hua family and Hua Qingmeng happened to be there as well. She saw with her own eyes that Hua Qingmeng was wearing the same purse as Ye Xinghe.

She searched for many shops in Beijing and also checked online, but couldn't find it.

It wasn't until the first day I arrived in Jiangyang that I saw the same purse around Ye Xinghe's neck, which is why I kept asking Ye Xinghe where she bought it.

Later, when she learned that the purse was just a free gift and had been discontinued, Shen Yan suspected that Hua Qingmeng and Ye Xinghe knew each other, but it was just a suspicion.

Lin Hao called Ye Xinghe so affectionately just now, it seems that the three of them must have known each other for a long time.

Shen Yan thought to herself, "I absolutely cannot let Ye Xinghe appear next to Hua Qingmeng."

Ye Xinghe went to Group C to distribute meal cards and informed the group members of the afternoon meeting time.

A short girl wearing glasses pointed to the first row of workstations by the window, "Team Leader Ye, this is the seat we all saved for you."

Ye Xinghe smiled and thanked him, "You don't need to call me team leader, just call me Xinghe. I'm just an employee running errands for the leader. If you have any questions, you can tell me and I'll pass them on to him."

After giving her explanation, Ye Xinghe returned to her office. She decided to have a serious talk with Hua Qingmeng and move out to work with everyone.

She knocked on the door cautiously, then pushed it open and slowly walked to Hua Qingmeng's desk.

"Chairman, there's something I'd like to ask you for permission to do."

Hua Qingmeng looked up at her, but did not say anything.

“I just went to Group C. My colleagues are very thoughtful and have already reserved a workstation for me. If I don’t go and sit there, my relationship with my colleagues may become distant, and it will be difficult to carry out my work in the future.”

Hua Qingmeng, seeing her speak with such a lack of confidence for the first time, gave her a playful look and slowly asked, "Are you trying to get closer to your colleagues? Or do you not want to be in the same office as me?"
