After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

On the afternoon of his first day at the company, Zhou Yu met Jiang Qi, the new generation design director, for the first time in his life in the conference room of the R&D department.

In his past life, he didn't have a deep impression of Jiang Qi, only knowing that she had a good relationship with Xu Xinran.

But now, seeing those alluring eyes with his own eyes, Zhou Yu had to admit that this woman did indeed possess an irresistible charm.

As Jiang Qi entered the conference room, her wink electrified the air, and her captivating smile instantly ignited the hormones of the young male designers present.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Jiang Qi, the director of your R&D department."

However, Zhou Yu remained detached, coldly observing this "minor commotion" caused by beauty.

He glanced furtively at Mu Tianze beside him, only to see that the man also had a calm expression, as if he were immune to Jiang Qi's charm.

Mu Tianze muttered a complaint softly from the side, his voice low but loud enough for Zhou Yu to hear: "What a show-off."

Zhou Yu suppressed a laugh, subtly nudged Mu Tianze with his leg, and teased in a low voice, "What, you don't like this beauty?"

"A beauty? What makes her beautiful?"

Mu Tianze made a slip of the tongue, raising his voice slightly, which instantly attracted Jiang Qi's attention.

Her gaze was sharp as she swept over the two of them, a meaningful smile playing on her lips: "Do you have any objections to me personally?"

"No, Director." Mu Tianze quickly regained his composure, his tone carrying a hint of respect.

The brief interlude passed quickly, and Jiang Qi spoke again, her tone carrying an undeniable authority: "Everyone here is a pillar of the company's future. Next week's New Talent Design Exhibition will be your battlefield to prove yourselves."

"Don't give me any fancy stuff. It's just a simple game. Let's see who can come up with the most creative ways to play it. Remember, this isn't just a competition; it's a crucial step for you from interns to full-time employees."

Her gaze swept across the entire room, and everyone she looked at felt the heavy pressure.

"If we win, we'll get our ticket to official employment, and we can also work together to prepare for the summer product launch."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the meeting room, with discussions rising and falling.

Everyone here is a top student from the nation's leading design schools. They are confident, determined, and eager to seize this opportunity.

Mu Tianze was even more eager to get started. His love for game design was like a warrior's desire for battle. He was bursting with energy, just waiting to show everyone his true skills.

Zhou Yu looked at him with great envy, after all, being able to devote oneself wholeheartedly to one's beloved career is a luxury.

"By the way, participation in this competition is entirely voluntary; there's no requirement." Jiang Qi's voice echoed in the conference room. She raised an eyebrow, her eyes revealing a hint of provocation.

"However, I don't think anyone would easily let such a good opportunity slip by."

Before he finished speaking, the meeting room erupted in chatter, with everyone eager to express their desire to participate.

But Zhou Yu remained completely silent, like an outsider.

As soon as the meeting ended, nine registration forms were handed in, and sure enough, Zhou Yu's was not among them.

Jiang Qi clicked her tongue, grabbed the registration form, and stormed into Xu Xinran's office. She pushed open the door, plopped down, and acted as if she were in her own living room.

"Xinran, your fiancé is really a strange person. Others would kill to get on his boat, but he just doesn't care."

As Jiang Qi spoke, she waved the registration form, looking completely puzzled.

Xu Xinran looked up, glanced indifferently at the registration form, and then looked at Jiang Qi, her tone tinged with helplessness: "Jiang Qi, could you please knock before entering next time?"

Jiang Qi chuckled, completely unconcerned: "We're practically family, why bother with all this?"

Then, she changed the subject, "But seriously, Zhou Yu is really handsome, no wonder he can make you so infatuated."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Xinran's eyes turned cold instantly, and with a sharp warning look, Jiang Qi immediately shut her mouth.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. I'll go back and continue to be your slave."

After saying that, Jiang Qi slipped away as fast as she could.

Inside the office, Xu Xinran's gaze deepened.

What is Zhou Yu, the man she both loves and hates, thinking?

Was he being stubborn with her, or did he genuinely not care about this opportunity at all?
