Chapter 42 Domineering CEO VS Confused Female Lead

Liu Ruyan is the female protagonist in classic domineering CEO novels. Like most female protagonists, she is clumsy, cute, and always gets into trouble, which makes the domineering CEO feel sorry for her. Like other female protagonists, Liu Ruyan was born into a family that favored sons over daughters, but she has an indomitable character.

To put it bluntly, she pretends to be stupid to get the male lead's attention, and the male lead, like a fool, doesn't love his fiancée who comes from a similar family background, but develops different feelings for Liu Ruyan, who is a bit of a simpleton.

In the book, the male and female protagonists meet over a cup of coffee, and what follows is:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I don't have the money, but I can work at Qi's to pay it back..."

"Woman, you have caught my attention."

The romance between a clueless assistant and a domineering CEO: if the original owner hadn't awakened, everything would have unfolded according to the plot, ending with what appears to be a happy ending.

But the truth is that the original owner awakened, and he couldn't understand why he would give up his childhood sweetheart fiancée and instead fall for Liu Ruyan, who was plain-looking, had an average figure, and came from a poor family.

The original owner wanted to break the plot, but every time Liu Ruyan got close, he couldn't help but want to do everything for her.

After the two got married, the original owner gave all his wealth to Liu Ruyan, and Liu Ruyan lived up to expectations by transferring all of the original owner's property to her younger brother. In the end, the couple became Liu Ruyan's younger brother's employees.

The Qi Group also changed its name and became the Liu Group.

The original owner wanted to rebel, but ended up becoming mentally ill and was sent to a mental hospital by Liu Ruyan, where she never came out again.

The original owner was still unwilling to accept his fate after death, which led to the arrival of the prayer.

The moment she arrived, Qi Yuan sensed danger and dodged to the side. A steaming cup of coffee fell from the sky and spilled on Assistant Li behind her, causing him to scream in pain.

“┗|`O′|┛ Aww~~!” Qi Yuan really wanted to cover her ears, but because of the domineering CEO persona, she still held back her restless hands.

The screams attracted attention, and the culprit was none other than Liu Ruyan. At this moment, Liu Ruyan was somewhat annoyed, unsure whether she was annoyed that the coffee hadn't been spilled on Qi Yuan, or annoyed that she had caused trouble.

A soft, delicate voice rang out, and Liu Ruyan's eyes reddened slightly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I will definitely replace the clothes for you."

Assistant Li was stunned. "Oh no, ma'am, you splashed me! Why are you looking at the president when you say that?"

Qi Yuan noticed Liu Ruyan's gaze and pointed to Assistant Li beside her, saying, "You guys handle this, I'll go back to my office first."

"Yes, President." Assistant Li nodded, enduring the sharp pain in his chest.

Seeing that Qi Yuan wanted to leave, Liu Ruyan bit her lower lip and stepped forward to block Qi Yuan's way.

Qi Yuan quickly stopped and took two steps back before looking at Liu Ruyan with a puzzled expression.

Just as Liu Ruyan was about to speak, Qi Yuan pulled over Assistant Li, who was fanning his chest with his hand, so that the two could talk face to face.

At this point, Liu Ruyan seemed to notice Assistant Li. Seeing that Assistant Li's white shirt was covered in coffee stains, while Qi Yuan's clothes were still clean, Liu Ruyan frowned slightly.

Prayer doesn't care about any of that; let them talk.

Seeing that Qi Yuan was about to leave, Liu Ruyan tried to stop her again, but was pulled aside by Assistant Li.

"Let go of me, why are you pulling me?" Liu Ruyan was pulled into a corner, her tone very displeased.

"Ma'am, you injured me, and not only will you not compensate me, but what are you doing here trying to contact our CEO? Let me tell you, you caused this injury, and the company will not compensate me. Besides, are you even an employee of our company? What are you doing here?"

Assistant Li was incredibly talkative, bombarding Liu Ruyan with questions one after another, leaving her completely overwhelmed. Watching Qi Yuan's departing figure, she was filled with anxiety.

This was an opportunity she had worked so hard to get into the Qi Group. If she failed to make an impression on Qi Yuan, she didn't know when she would have another chance.

"How much is it? I'll pay you back. You're just an assistant, your clothes must have been bought online, right? Is 100 yuan enough?"

Assistant Li was almost amused and annoyed by Liu Ruyan's attitude of treating a beggar like that. Did she really think no one could see through Liu Ruyan's little scheme? Wasn't she just trying to imitate the heroine in a novel and get the president's attention?

“Miss, although I’m just an assistant, my shirts aren’t something you can buy for a hundred or two hundred. Here’s the receipt, take a good look. Besides, this is the first time I’ve worn this shirt, and it’s gotten like this. Even if I send it to the dry cleaners, it won’t be able to be cleaned. Also, I suspect you burned me, and I need to go to the hospital for a checkup…”

Assistant Li initially thought he could let it go because of the pitiful look of the little girl, but seeing that the little brat had two faces, he was sorry, but he definitely had to pay the money.

"Are you kidding me? Eighty thousand yuan for a tattered shirt? Why don't you just rob me? And how could an assistant like you afford an eighty thousand yuan shirt?" Liu Ruyan didn't care about finding Qi Yuan anymore. Looking at the invoice in the other person's hand, her voice rose considerably, and she looked at Assistant Li as if she were looking at a swindler.

Assistant Li certainly wouldn't spend his own money to buy an 80,000 yuan shirt, but unfortunately, this shirt was a reward the president gave him yesterday. Although he didn't spend his own money, the shirt was still worth 80,000 yuan, so Liu Ruyan absolutely had to pay for it.

“It seems this young lady is unwilling to pay compensation. Then let’s call the police. There are surveillance cameras in every corner of the company. When the police arrive, they will handle the matter impartially.” Assistant Li didn’t want to argue with Liu Ruyan. He took out his phone to dial the police, but Liu Ruyan stopped him.

"I... I didn't say I wouldn't compensate you, please, please don't call the police." Liu Ruyan's tone softened, no longer displaying the aggressive demeanor she had just displayed.

"I... I don't have any money. I'll definitely pay you back for the clothes. Could you let me work at Qi's and then pay you back slowly?" Liu Ruyan's eyes darted around, clearly she had a new idea.

Assistant Li has seen countless people like this; how could he not know what Liu Ruyan was thinking?

"No, you can't just walk into the Qi Group like that. Even the cleaning ladies here have to go through an interview. In my opinion, you're not even qualified to be a cleaner," Assistant Li said, looking Liu Ruyan up and down.

"You have no money? Doesn't your family have any money? I see you're over twenty years old, you can't possibly not even have 80,000 yuan, can you? Even if you don't, can't you take out a loan? Don't you have Alipay or Jiebei or something?" Assistant Li continued to fire on her, trying to get close to the president through him, leaving her no room to maneuver!

"You! You!" Liu Ruyan was so angry at Assistant Li's words that she could only say "you, you, you" and couldn't say anything else.

Seeing that Liu Ruyan was silent, Assistant Li tapped the screen and the call was connected.

"Hello, I need to call the police. Someone is intentionally causing harm..."

By the time Liu Ruyan realized what was happening, Assistant Li had already given her the company's address, and it was too late for Liu Ruyan to stop him.

When the police arrived, they took the two to the police station. After negotiation, Liu Ruyan compensated Assistant Li 80,000 yuan for the shirt, 20,000 yuan for medical expenses, 50,000 yuan for lost wages, and 10,000 yuan for mental distress, totaling 160,000 yuan.

Liu Ruyan signed the agreement, and finally managed to scrape together 160,000 yuan to give to Assistant Li.

After leaving the police station, Liu Ruyan glared fiercely at Assistant Li, thinking that once she became the president's wife, she would definitely fire Assistant Li.

Assistant Li didn't care what Liu Ruyan thought and took the 160,000 yuan back to the company.

As soon as the door opened, Assistant Li saw Qi Yuan sitting in her office chair, looking at him with a malicious smile.

"Ahem, President, why are you looking at me like that?" Assistant Li scratched his head awkwardly, feeling embarrassed by Qi Yuan's gaze. He hadn't changed out of his shirt yet, and the once steaming coffee had gone cold. The air conditioning made him shiver.

"How much did you want?"

"Hehe, 160,000! I originally wanted 80,000 because I felt sorry for her, but she didn't know what was good for her, so I can't blame her, can I?"

"Yes, you've worked hard today. Here's a tip. Don't let that woman get close to me again." As Qi Yuan said this, Assistant Li's phone rang: "XXX received 80,000 yuan."

The sound of money was simply too wonderful. Assistant Li happily declared that he would never let that woman get close to Qiyuan again.

After leaving the president's office, Assistant Li changed into a shirt. Underneath, he was wearing an old-fashioned undershirt, which was also covered in coffee stains. Assistant Li frowned but had no choice but to continue taking off his shirt.

"Thank goodness my wife put these two things on me this morning, otherwise I would have been burned to death!" Assistant Li muttered as he looked at himself in the mirror. There wasn't a single burn on his body. After changing his clothes, he sent a text message to his wife before happily heading out to work.

No one knows who spread the word, but everyone said that Assistant Li had met a lucky guy who got 160,000 yuan in compensation just for having a cup of coffee spilled on him. All the employees at Qi's were eager to try it out, and some even went to great lengths to find photos of Liu Ruyan, praying that they would be the ones to get their coffee spilled next time.

The employees, eager to make a fortune, didn't have to wait long. Two days later, Liu Ruyan reappeared at the Qi Group, this time as an interviewee.

When the interviewers saw that it was Liu Ruyan, they were all very excited, but when they saw that Liu Ruyan did not have coffee, their excitement turned into disappointment, and they spoke weakly.

The interview results wouldn't be announced immediately. Although Liu Ruyan didn't understand why the interviewers from Qi's were all acting strangely, she wasn't in a hurry to find Qi Yuan to make her presence known. She planned to wait until the interview results came out before taking the next step.

Knock knock. There was a knock on the door of Qiyuan's office. Assistant Li walked in, looking embarrassed. Qiyuan could tell that Assistant Li had something to ask for, so she didn't speak first, intending to wait until Assistant Li couldn't hold back any longer and speak up herself.

After hesitating for a moment, Assistant Li gritted his teeth and said, "President, Liu Ruyan came for an interview. The HR department wants her to do cleaning. What do you think?" Remembering that he had been surrounded by a group of people pleading with him before he came in, Assistant Li added, "Let her clean the first and second floors. I'm sure the president won't run into her."

Qi Yuan originally didn't want to bring Liu Ruyan in, but glancing at the doorway out of the corner of her eye, she could see heads through the glass. She wondered what Assistant Li and the others were up to this time, so she thought about it and nodded.

"Thank you, President. I'll head out now." Assistant Li felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders when he saw Qi Yuan nod. Liu Ruyan dared to look down on him; he wouldn't hesitate to resort to underhanded tactics. And she even dared to apply for a job at Qi's Corporation! He'd make sure she went bankrupt!

The door closed, and Qi Yuan heard the cheers outside. She smiled and shook her head.

The next day, as soon as Qiyuan arrived at the company, she found that all the employees were dressed in bright and beautiful clothes. If she didn't know that she had come to the company, Qiyuan would have thought that she was attending a banquet.

"Assistant Li, what's going on with them?"

"President, Liu Ruyan is starting work today, and her colleagues are celebrating for her." Hearing Assistant Li's words, Qi Yuan knew that this guy was up to no good, otherwise he wouldn't have dodged and let the coffee spill on Assistant Li.

Assistant Li is known for his vindictive nature; if Liu Ruyan offended him, she'd better pray for good luck.

As soon as Liu Ruyan entered the company, she was met with several stares. Liu Ruyan was not afraid. She thought that she had made them feel threatened. With her flat chest, she walked into the cleaning and changing room with a proud and arrogant attitude.

When she came out again, she had changed into a cleaning uniform. Liu Ruyan didn't care what kind of job she did; as long as she could get into the Qi family, she would have the opportunity to be close to them and get what she wanted. She hoped that sooner or later, they would become her subjects.
