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

Xu Xinran gave him a deep look, her eyes filled with complex emotions, but in the end she just sighed and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Zhou Ze's eyes flashed with a cunning glint, and he quickly followed.

"Mr. Xu, please wait, I have something important to discuss..."

Zhou Ze's voice carried a hint of flattery, but it failed to make Xu Xinran stop in her tracks.

At this moment, Jiang Qi walked over and blocked Zhou Ze's way.

"Technician Zhou, it seems you have plenty of time. In that case, we'll shorten your preparation time by one day, making it six days."

"Director Jiang, I..." Zhou Ze was stunned, wanting to explain but unable to find a suitable reason.

"No need to say anything more, it's settled then."

Jiang Qi didn't give him a chance to refuse, and immediately turned around and followed Xu Xinran's steps, leaving Zhou Ze standing there in a daze.

……

Inside the office, Mu Tianze glared at Zhou Yu, slamming his fist on the table in a fit of rage.

"Zhou Yu, what's wrong with your brother?! He's got his eyes glued to Xu Xinran! She's your fiancée!"

Zhou Yu smiled, his eyes completely calm. "It's alright, let him try to take it if he wants. If it's really that easy to take, then it means it never belonged to me in the first place, and there's no point in forcing it."

"You... your mentality is truly speechless." Mu Tianze shook his head, feeling helpless at Zhou Yu's indifference.

At this moment, Zhou Ze returned with a smug look on his face and deliberately showed off in front of Zhou Yu.

"Brother, do you know what President Xu just said to me? She praised my talent and told me to do my best in the new generation. As for me, I certainly won't let her down."

Zhou Yu remained unmoved, only smiling faintly: "Then you'd better work hard and not disappoint President Xu."

Zhou Yu spoke casually, but deep down there was still a hint of bitterness in his heart.

He was increasingly baffled by Xu Xinran's recent actions. On one hand, she was deeply affectionate towards him, while on the other hand, she frequently showed goodwill towards Zhou Ze.

This familiar scene made him recall his past life, and he smiled bitterly to himself.

Seeing this, Zhou Ze became even angrier and whispered provocatively in Zhou Yu's ear.

"Zhou Yu, listen to me! I'm taking the position of the new generation's chief game designer! As for Xu Xinran... she'll be mine sooner or later!"

Zhou Yu remained calm, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

“You can’t say these things to me, but if Xu Xinran really likes you, I’m naturally willing to help her achieve her goal.”

"Hmph, hypocrite!" Zhou Ze snorted coldly and left in anger.

……

Inside the CEO's office, Jiang Qi sat casually on the sofa, chatting with Xu Xinran.

Seeing Xu Xinran's furrowed brows, she couldn't help but tease, "I don't think your fiancé appreciates it at all?"

Xu Xinran glared at her and said irritably, "Are you not busy enough? Why are you talking so much?"

Jiang Qi's smile faded, and she said seriously, "To be honest, the workload in the R&D department is quite heavy. Are you really comfortable letting him stay there?"

Xu Xinran was silent for a moment, then looked at Jiang Qi with a firm gaze and said, "Please take good care of her for me."

Jiang Qi quickly waved her hand, looking disgusted, and said, "I'm not going to do something so thankless. I'm the most sought-after person in the R&D department. It would be terrible if I were misunderstood."

As she spoke, the image of a certain person involuntarily surfaced in her mind—that extraordinary man who stirred ripples in her heart.

Seeing this, Xu Xinran shook her head helplessly and warned:

"Let me warn you, don't use your position to cause any trouble, or I won't be able to protect you."

Jiang Qi immediately raised her hand, making a gesture as if she were swearing an oath.

"I swear, I'm an innocent young girl. At most, I just look at handsome guys to feast my eyes. I would never do anything reckless."

Xu Xinran casually tossed a stack of folders to Jiang Qi, who caught them with agility and laughed, "Hey, even if you're jealous of my natural beauty, you don't have to ruin my face, do you?"

"Stop joking around, this is the task list for the second half of the year," Xu Xinran said seriously.

Jiang Qi opened the document and her face instantly fell: "Xu Xinran, I regret coming here!"

"You won't regret it, just for the sake of those handsome guys." Xu Xinran's lips curled up slightly, as if she had already seen through her thoughts.

Jiang Qi smiled smugly, then changed the subject, asking, "By the way, isn't it a bit harsh of us not to assign graphic designers or planners this time, and to let these newcomers do everything themselves?"

"You set the rules, it's none of my business," Xu Xinran retorted, raising an eyebrow. "What? You want to go easy on someone?"

Jiang Qi chuckled inwardly, realizing that she did indeed have this intention, but found it difficult to say it aloud.

She had originally planned to use Xu Xinran's fiancé to secretly exert her influence, but who knew that he wouldn't participate? Even if she wanted to go easy on him, she had nowhere to do so.

"No, I, Jiang Qi, am fair and impartial."

Jiang Qi was stubborn, but when she thought of that person's embarrassing situation, she felt like a kitten was scratching her heart frantically.

……

As soon as it was time to leave work, Zhou Yu quickly packed his things and prepared to slip away.

Mu Tianze looked surprised: "Didn't President Xu say she was coming to pick you up to go back together? Are you worried that she'll have to wait too long?"

Zhou Yu shook his head. "I don't need her to pick me up. I'm a grown man, it's not like I don't know the way."

"That's perfect. Wait for me, let's go together." Mu Tianze quickly followed.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and the three of them stepped inside one after another.

Besides Zhou Yu and Mu Tianze, there is also Gao Qiang, Zhou Ze's assistant.

Gao Qiang is an introverted person. When he saw Zhou Yu and the other two, he wanted to greet them, but his lips moved but he couldn't squeeze out a single word. In the end, he could only lower his head awkwardly.

The elevator stopped on the 15th floor, and Gao Qiang got out of the elevator alone.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he heard a strange noise behind him.

Gao Qiang whirled around and saw that the elevator doors were not fully closed, and the steel box that should have been steadily stopped had begun to fall uncontrollably...
