Marriage of convenience blossoms into love; the husband turns out to be a billionaire CEO.

Manager Zhu walked into the office with his head held high and chest puffed out, his sinister gaze sweeping over Ye Cheng from his triangular eyes.

She cleared her throat and raised her voice, saying, "The company's latest announcement is that anyone interested in Renya's 30th anniversary project can participate, and everyone will compete fairly."

"In addition, President Yao said that this performance will be used as a reference for year-end salary increases, including promotion to department head. Everyone has a chance, so everyone should work hard."

After Manager Zhu finished speaking, there was a commotion in the office.

Tian Yawen was overjoyed and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "That's great, no one can expect to take shortcuts now."

After the woman finished speaking, she turned to Chen Qianru next to her and complained.

"To put it bluntly, who knows if someone did something shady to sign the contract, thinking they've hit the jackpot? Pshaw!"

Several colleagues sitting nearby began to whisper among themselves.

Ye Cheng suppressed her anger and glared fiercely at them.

"Tian Yawen, just a friendly reminder: don't think that spreading rumors and slander has no cost."

Tian Yawen rolled her eyes, her facial muscles twitching.

"I only heard it secondhand. If you want to blame someone, blame Mr. Liu of Renya. He's a notorious womanizer. I heard that several competing companies have already booked hotels for him. Hmph, just consider this me talking nonsense."

Ye Cheng gritted her teeth and retorted rudely, "Don't gossip if you didn't see it with your own eyes."

Chen Qianru, standing to the side, feigned advice: "Yawen, there are some things we don't need to say, we can just wait and see."

"Fine, just consider it a stroke of luck. Let's see how long your luck lasts and whether you can have the last laugh."

The jealous woman pouted her red lips and turned her face away sullenly.

Ye Cheng looked away.

She secretly made up her mind that she must put her heart and soul into making Renya's plan a success, and use her strength to slap that foul-mouthed woman in the face.

……

The Ji Group building.

Kim Dae-woo knocked on the door and entered the president's office.

"Mr. Ji, these are the documents that need your signature today."

Kim Dae-woo approached the desk and placed a stack of documents on the surface.

The CEO rested his chin on his hand, staring intently at the computer screen.

Kim Daewoo glanced at it casually.

Surprisingly, a cooking tutorial video was playing on the screen.

The man thought he had misread it, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again.

On the screen, the spatula is flying and the dishes are jumping around; I'm sure I'm not seeing things.

Why is the CEO watching this kind of video for the first time ever?

It's really incredible.

He speculated as he waited silently.

After watching the video, Ji Lingfeng finally looked up at the documents on the table.

He belatedly hummed in agreement.

The man was still pondering with resentment, "Cooking seems easy, so why do I always mess it up when I try?"

Kim Dae-woo glanced at his watch; it was almost time to leave work again. He wondered if the CEO would ask him to handle the young mistress's business again tonight.

I ate ten servings of stinky tofu in one go last night, and I still feel nauseous thinking about it today.

This kind of chore is really not for humans!

What should I do if I still have tasks to complete today?

If all else fails, just say that all his relatives love stinky tofu and pack it all up to take away.

Anyway, he couldn't eat any more even if you killed him.

Kim Daewoo was rolling his eyes and secretly grumbling to himself when he suddenly heard the CEO call him.

"Oh, right, Kim Dae-woo—"

The man looked up somewhat nervously, listening intently to what was to come.

"Thank you for your hard work yesterday."

Kim Daewoo's tightly clenched nerves relaxed a little.

As Ji Lingfeng spoke, he took out a checkbook from the drawer, quickly signed a check, and handed it over.

Kim Dae-woo performed exceptionally well last night, even eating ten servings of stinky tofu to successfully complete his mission – something he could hardly believe.

Worthy of commendation.

Kim Dae-woo respectfully accepted the check, quickly glancing at the number on it: a one followed by six zeros.

The man suddenly became incredibly energetic, as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

He felt good about eating stinky tofu again!

"President Ji, this is all I should do."

"If needed, I'm always ready to do tasks at the young mistress's stall, even if it means eating until I'm sick..."

Kim Dae-woo passionately made a bold statement.

The CEO in front of her stirred up unpleasant memories.

Ji Lingfeng felt a churning in his stomach and quickly frowned and waved his hand.

"The young mistress's stall is closed tonight, so you don't need to work overtime. You can also go home early."

Kim Dae-woo's eyes suddenly lit up.

He clenched his fist and shouted excitedly, "Great!"

Realizing he had lost his composure, the man straightened his face, composed himself, and said seriously, "Yes, Mr. Ji."

The man secretly chuckled to himself.

It's rare to have a day without having to work overtime, so today I can finally have a nice date with my girlfriend.

After all, his girlfriend is more important to him than his job right now.

Ji Lingfeng looked up at Jin Dayu, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Kim Daewoo, are you this happy about getting an early shift? Does it seem like I'm being too harsh on you?"

Jin Dayu quickly waved his hand and said, "It's a misunderstanding, President Ji."

Ji Lingfeng stroked his chin with his long, slender fingers, a half-smile playing on his lips.

"It's hard for me not to misunderstand you like this."

Kim Dayu scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly, "President Ji, actually... I recently started dating, and I got off work early today so I could go on a date with my girlfriend, so I got a little carried away with my excitement."

Ji Lingfeng's expression of sudden realization.

"No wonder I've noticed you've been in a particularly good mood these past few days, and you're also very enthusiastic about your work."

In a way, it seems to reflect his current mood.

Ji Lingfeng couldn't help but become curious.

"Kim Daewoo, what do you and your girlfriend do on your dates?"

The CEO of the Ji Group earnestly sought advice from his secretary.

This domineering CEO was a top student who focused on academics during his school days. After graduation, he quickly transformed into the third-generation head of the Ji Group. For many years, he has devoted himself to his career. This straight man who is not interested in women is completely clueless about dating.

Kim Dae-woo beamed with joy.

"Mr. Ji, there are so many things you can do on a date."

"The most common activities are eating out and watching a movie. We can choose based on our shared interests, such as shopping, visiting parks, hiking, playing sports, traveling, watching the sea, or watching the sunrise and sunset..."

Kim Dae-woo spoke fluently and at length, as if recounting a familiar story.

After counting the pile, the man couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

The CEO is asking so many questions; he must want to go on a date with the young mistress.

There are many things you can do on a date, but you definitely won't be setting up a stall to sell stinky tofu together!

The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I didn't dare to say them.

Ji Lingfeng nodded thoughtfully.

……

Ye Cheng spent the entire day at her workstation studying reference materials, and even ordered takeout to eat in the office for lunch.

After numerous revisions, a first draft was finally completed near the end of the workday.

I'll take it home and show it to Ji Lingfeng, hoping he can give me some valuable advice.

Thinking that the man had just started a new job, and since he wasn't setting up his stall today and had received a bonus, he should go out for a meal to celebrate.

For example, ordering a couple's set meal or something.

The woman smiled and picked up her phone, texting while thinking about what to eat.

The man in the CEO's office also picked up his phone and sent a date invitation.

The next second, the two of them received a message from each other at the same time.

Should we eat out together tonight?

How about we eat out tonight?
