How many loves can be relived in the story of a devoted CEO pursuing his wife?

Back on the 45th floor, Lin Xuedong instinctively headed towards Liu Sisi's office, but no one was there. He frowned, then turned back to his own CEO office.

"Knock knock knock."

"Please come in!"

“Ah Dong~”

"Learn from Brother Dong~." Lin Zhicheng led Zeng Ziyan into the president's office.

Lin Xuedong looked up at them, his lips slightly parted. "You're here? Come sit on the sofa."

Zeng Ziyan was overjoyed. She skipped over to Lin Xuedong and flashed him a big smile. "Brother Xuedong, I really didn't expect my dad to arrange for me to intern at Lin's. From now on, you'll be my mentor, and I'll definitely learn from you diligently. Thank you so much!"

"Okay, let's go sit down and talk." Lin Xuedong wasn't very enthusiastic; he was clear about some boundaries, especially in the office.

They had just sat down in the sofa area when there was another knock on the door. Gao Bing came in carrying a tray. She gracefully arranged the tea set and said gently to Lin Zhicheng, "Chairman, I have prepared Imperial Longjing tea for you. Please enjoy."

"Okay, thank you." Lin Zhicheng took the teacup, took a small sip, and then said, "Oh, by the way, could you please have Secretary Gao prepare an office for Ziyan? We can take her there once we've finished our discussion here."

"Okay, no problem."

After Gao Bing left the office, Lin Xuedong's bright eyes swept back and forth between Zeng Ziyan and Lin Zhicheng. He crossed his long legs, sitting with the elegance of a European aristocrat.

After a moment of silence, Lin Xuedong finally fixed his gaze on Lin Zhicheng. His lips parted slightly, and in a low voice, he asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

Zeng Ziyan's smile froze. She had never seen Lin Xuedong so cold and aloof, especially towards her own father.

“It’s nothing much, just like I just said.” Lin Zhicheng glanced at his son and said calmly. “You know the Zeng family needs someone to carry on the family business. Since you’re not willing to accept marrying Ziyan, we can’t force you. But that also means that this burden can only be borne by her alone. Your Uncle Zeng is worried, so he entrusted her to me. I was the one who raised your Uncle Zeng back then, so now you’ll raise his daughter. Since the marriage alliance can’t be arranged, let’s be business as we are. Your Uncle Zeng is willing to exchange 5% of the Zeng family’s shares with me as a deposit.”

"Heh~." Lin Xuedong snorted softly, secretly amused by their clever scheme.

His gaze returned to Zeng Ziyan, a smile playing on his lips, and he asked, "Ziyan, the workplace is like a battlefield. Have you thought this through? The pace of work doesn't allow for slacking off. You'll have to put up with bad tempers, suffer hardships, and endure exhaustion."

Zeng Ziyan has always been pampered, and the thought of suffering, hardship, or exhaustion naturally makes her timid. But the thought of being able to stick to Lin Xuedong every day and even take the opportunity to squeeze Liu Sisi out of the picture makes her take the little hardship as motivation.

So, she gritted her teeth, nodded solemnly, and said, "Yes, I understand. Brother Xuedong, I will work hard and study diligently. Thank you and Uncle Lin for giving me this opportunity. I'll leave the rest to you."

"Ziyan, since you've seriously considered it, I'll have Gao Bing take you to the HR department later. You'll need to complete the onboarding process and formally sign the employment contract. Let's start with a one-year term." Lin Xuedong spoke in a businesslike manner.

One year?

Zeng Ziyan's heart skipped a beat. She had invested herself, given up 5% of Zeng's shares, just to stay by his side for a year? At this moment, she was truly speechless, wondering how reality could be so cruel!

She suppressed her temper, which threatened to overturn the table, and forced an awkward smile in response. "Okay."

"Also, from now on, in the company and when doing office work, you should call me 'General Manager Lin' just like everyone else. If you have any questions about the work procedures, you can go to Xiao and Gao Bing; they will be happy to assist you."

"Understood, Mr. Lin." Zeng Ziyan really wanted to roll her eyes, but she couldn't. Was this what he meant by being able to put up with being humiliated?

"Alright, alright, Ziyan, we all know you have no work experience. Don't rush, take your time, don't scare Adong." Lin Zhicheng's timely reassurance made Zeng Ziyan feel a little better. He thought for a moment and decided to send her away first. "How about this, you go find Gao Bing first and see how the office preparations are going. Come back before lunch break, and we'll go out for lunch together. Ah~"

"Okay, Chairman, I'll go find Secretary Gao right away. See you later." Zeng Ziyan quickly excused herself, only breathing a sigh of relief the moment she left the president's office.

"Phew~." She let out a long breath and then saw Liu Sisi walking out of the elevator.

She was also dressed in a black suit today, her long hair styled in a bun, looking elegant and poised. She carried a laptop and walked briskly by.

She appeared slightly fuller than when we last met. Her complexion was rosy and radiant, and she exuded a warm and inviting aura.

"Sisi! Liu Sisi!" Zeng Ziyan immediately felt indignant and, faster than she thought, blurted out to stop her.

Liu Sisi hesitated, raising her eyes to look in the direction of the sound. When she saw Zeng Ziyan, she was momentarily stunned, murmuring, "Zeng Ziyan?"

"Hmph!" Zeng Ziyan snorted coldly and strode towards her. His face was full of arrogance, and his tone was flippant as he said to her, "Liu Sisi, I didn't expect we'd meet again."

Liu Sisi smiled faintly and asked noncommittally, "What is it?"

Standing at 168cm, Zeng Ziyan, wearing high heels, exuded a slightly more imposing aura than Liu Sisi.

Coupled with her innate arrogance as a rich heiress, she lowered her eyes and stared at Liu Sisi, her eyes filled with contempt.

She forced a faint smile and said to her, "It's nothing, I just wanted to say hello since I'm new here. From today onwards, I'm also Dong-ge's special assistant, so please take care of me~".

"You're coming to work at Lin's?" Liu Sisi subconsciously frowned, somewhat surprised. But Zeng Ziyan was overjoyed; she was extremely pleased with Liu Sisi's bewildered expression.

"Yes, I'm going to learn how to run a business from him. And then we'll be colleagues. How about that? Unexpected? Surprising?" Zeng Ziyan stood with her arms crossed, boasting smugly.

Boring! Liu Sisi paid no attention to her inexplicable demonstrations.

She pursed her lips and gave a nonchalant look. "Then good luck! I have other things to do, excuse me."

After saying that, without waiting for her reaction, he walked past her with his head held high and chest out.

“You…!” Zeng Zi choked on her words, her beautiful eyes fixed on her departing figure. Her eyes were filled with hatred and malice, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Liu Sisi, I promise, your good days are numbered!

Zeng Ziyan was filled with resentment. After cursing under her breath, she turned and walked towards Gao Bing's position.

In the staff canteen of the Lin family, Liu Sisi stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.

She was thinking about her recent confrontation with Zeng Ziyan, and why Zeng Ziyan had suddenly appeared beside Lin Xuedong.

Moreover, just now I saw the chairman, Lin Lan, and Lin Xuedong dining out with her. Their haughty attitude was clearly meant to embarrass her.

So far, apart from receiving a text message from Lin Xuedong saying that he couldn't have lunch with her, he hasn't said anything else.

"Sisi, what are you thinking about? The food is getting cold." Xiaobai, sitting opposite her, stared at her with wide eyes and waved a white hand in front of her face.

Liu Sisi snapped out of her reverie, smiled faintly, and said listlessly, "It's nothing, it's just that the weather is still gloomy, and I've lost my appetite."

"Exactly! It's unbelievable, all my weekend plans are ruined!" Xiaobai complained, biting her chopsticks. "Oh, by the way, has your 5G project officially launched yet?"

"Yes, the cooperation agreement will be signed next week. Then we'll go through the public relations process, and then the whole of S City will know."

"Such a big project, didn't President Lin hire an assistant for you?" Xiaobai asked, blinking her big eyes.

"Hehe~, could it be that you're interested in coming to help me?" Liu Sisi raised her eyebrows and asked jokingly.

"Sigh~, Sisi, I've been with you for four years. Now that you're suddenly not around, to be honest, I feel really lost, and I also find work quite boring." Xiaobai scooped up a mouthful of rice and chewed it.

"Why don't you come back to my side and be my assistant? But you'll have to come to the CEO's office."

Xiao Bai looked up, its dark eyes darting around in their sockets. Its adorable appearance made Liu Sisi laugh, and she tried to persuade it. "Actually, the president's office isn't as scary as you imagine. It's just a quieter environment, not as lively as the marketing department. But it's all work, and you can stay by my side. Think it over properly, okay?"

“Okay, if you need me, I’ll come over and continue being your assistant. Anyway, it’s better than going to work all day feeling like I’ve lost my anchor.” Xiao Bai grinned at her.

“Okay, then I’ll ask President Lin for help. There will be a lot of details involved in the 5G project, so adding an assistant shouldn’t be a big problem.” Liu Sisi’s mood brightened instantly. Xiaobai was someone she knew and trusted. With her by her side, the days ahead wouldn’t be too lonely.

"Okay, come on, Sisi. Hurry up and eat a couple of bites, don't waste any, otherwise things will go wrong when we're out doing business this afternoon." Xiaobai coaxed her to eat.

At 2:15 PM, seeing that Lin Xuedong and the others hadn't returned yet, Liu Sisi proactively inquired with Gao Bing, "Secretary Gao, did President Lin say when he would be back?"

“Oh, Sisi, I’m sorry, Mr. Lin didn’t give any instructions. But they’re having dinner with the chairman’s family, so I estimate it will take them a while,” Gao Bing said, looking up at her.

"Okay, I have a meeting with Song Ke at 3 o'clock. I won't wait for President Lin and Assistant Xiao. Please let President Lin know for me." Liu Sisi said politely.

“Okay, no problem.” Gao Bing smiled and replied.

"Thank you~."
