After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

Lu Shuyao faces difficulties not only in her marriage but also in her work.

But there's one saying that she feels is particularly applicable to her current situation.

What doesn't kill me makes me stronger!

Because of the betrayal by the pretty young admin last time, she has become more open-minded and decisive at work, no longer holding herself back.

Because there is no longer any expectation.

The idea that newcomers should strive to build good relationships with their colleagues, do more and talk less, and endure hardship and resentment is utter nonsense.

All she knows now is that the more humble a newcomer is, the more they will be bullied.

So now, Lu Shuyao speaks in a higher tone and has a more assertive attitude at the company.

She would point out anyone who didn't cooperate with her work on the spot, regardless of whether they were senior colleagues or who was present. Even if the manager was there, she would still confront them if necessary.

If someone reports on her behind her back, she'll be even more direct, simply retaliating two or three times over. If someone reports one thing, she'll throw out a whole string of reports in return. After all, she's the general manager's assistant, the one who can speak directly with the manager, which is very convenient for her.

Aren't they most afraid of General Manager Zeng Ruijie? The manager acts like a human in public, but turns into a ghost in private. Well then, she might as well strip away all those ghost masks and let the manager see clearly what's going on.

Didn't they all laugh at her, saying she'd have to leave in three months at most? Well, she's going to go all out. Whoever makes her unhappy, she'll make them unhappy. She'll just leave if necessary. Do the others dare to do that?

Would those seasoned veterans who've been stuck in the same hole for over a decade dare to do that?

Even Zeng Ruijie was surprised by her recent changes; she had been completely transformed, as if she had been given a new soul.

But he appreciated it.

In some ways, her changes coincide with his work style and attitude towards things.

However, there are occasional things that displease him.

As the general manager's assistant, in addition to the usual work schedule and document processing, I sometimes need to accompany the general manager on trips to visit clients.

As luck would have it, the client they were visiting happened to be in the same office building as Li Haokai's company.

Even more coincidentally, just as Lu Shuyao and Zeng Ruijie finished talking with their client and stepped into the elevator, a man and a woman walked in right in front of them.

The woman was holding the man's arm, and the man had his arm around the woman's waist.

Lu Shuyao glanced at it casually and was immediately stunned.

The people who walked in were Li Haokai and his mistress, Lin Xiaoshan.

The two were chatting and laughing intimately when they saw Lu Shuyao in the corner of the elevator.

Six eyes facing each other.

Lu Shuyao was the first to turn her head away, avoiding eye contact.

She felt nauseous if she looked at it for even one more second.

With manager Zeng Ruijie around, she didn't expose the adulterous couple, nor did she bother to make a scene; otherwise, she would be the one who would be embarrassed.

After a moment of stunned silence, Li Haokai turned his head away guiltily, pretending not to know him.

Since they were at the company, he was more afraid of causing a scene, and it would be better if Lu Shuyao could pretend not to know him.

Lin Xiaoshan, on the other hand, deliberately gave Li Haokai a loud kiss on the cheek, completely ignoring the presence of others.

The elevator goes down from the 33rd floor to the 1st floor.

Along the way, some people went up and some people went down, but all four of them went to the first floor.

During this time, Lu Shuyao spent several extremely difficult and agonizing minutes in the elevator.

"Honey, that coffee shop across the street recently launched a new coffee. Let's go try it later. I want extra sugar."

The coffee shop across the street is the one where Lu Shuyao last met Lin Xiaoshan.

“Honey, the bag you bought me last time is out of style. I want to buy a new one. Let’s go shopping after get off work.”

"Honey, it's almost New Year's Day, where are you planning to take me?"

……

Throughout the entire process, Lu Shuyao's fingers were clenched so tightly that she almost tore a hole in the contract documents in her hand.

"Ding……"

The elevator doors finally opened.

Lu Shuyao was the first to rush out.

Sharing the same air with those two made her feel incredibly disgusted.

Zeng Ruijie then walked out.

Lu Shuyao was behind him in the elevator, so he didn't notice her unusual behavior.

Seeing Lu Shuyao force her way past him and rush out of the elevator, Zeng Ruijie was still a little puzzled.

He'd seen people get carsick and seasick before, but this was the first time he'd ever seen someone get elevator sickness.

The two walked out of the office building one after the other.

"are you OK?"

When they reached the roadside, Zeng Ruijie noticed that Lu Shuyao didn't look well and asked her a question.

But Lu Shuyao seemed not to hear.

She continued walking forward, her eyes vacant, as if she were immersed in some kind of emotion and unable to break free.

As Zeng Ruijie glanced down at his phone, he heard a "buzz..." sound.

A series of ear-piercing screeching brakes suddenly rang out.

He looked up abruptly and saw a black van slid along the ground.

About a meter in front of the car, Lu Shuyao was still blindly crossing the road, completely unaware of the danger she was in.

In a critical moment, Zeng Ruijie rushed forward, grabbed the woman's arm, and yanked her sharply. He then quickly turned and dodged, causing both of them to fall to the ground.

At the same time, the car passed by the two of them at close range.

What a thrilling scene!

The van driver was so frightened that he stuck his head out of the window and kept spewing vulgarities. Even after the van had driven far away, the cursing continued to echo.

Lu Shuyao didn't come to her senses until she fell, but it was too late to react. She could only let her body fall straight down and land on Zeng Ruijie.

The contract documents in my hand were scattered all over the floor.

"You're such a grown man, can't you watch where you're going? Do you want to die?" Zeng Ruijie stood up and roared at Lu Shuyao.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his anger far exceeded Lu Shuyao's imagination.

It's safe to say that she's never seen him get so angry since she joined the company.

Even when someone messed up a contract and caused the company to lose millions, he had never yelled at anyone like that before.

Lu Shuyao picked up the documents from the ground, lowered her head and apologized to Zeng Ruijie, "I'm sorry, I was distracted for a moment and didn't notice the car. Thank you for saving me!"

Zeng Ruijie didn't respond, but continued to glare angrily at Lu Shuyao.

It was as if, in that thrilling moment, it wasn't Lu Shuyao who was frightened, but him.

Lu Shuyao twisted the hem of her clothes, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Unlike his usual cold and stern demeanor, Zeng Ruijie, in a fit of rage, seemed to have been greatly stimulated, his body trembling slightly, making her hesitant to approach him.

And so, the two stood there for a long time, neither of them uttering a sound.

Until the company driver, Xiao Li, arrived in his car.

"Mr. Zeng, our car has arrived."

The car stopped in front of the two of them. Lu Shuyao opened the car door for Zeng Ruijie, but he showed no intention of getting in.

"Go back and go over today's contract with the vice president. Have him follow up on the follow-up matters. I'm taking a break this afternoon."

Lu Shuyao was somewhat surprised, but noticing that the manager's expression was not good at the moment, she did not dare to ask any more questions.

"Why don't you let Xiao Li take you home to rest? I can just take a taxi back to the company myself."

"boarding!"

After giving the order, Zeng Ruijie turned and left...
