She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

restaurant.

Another large and sumptuous breakfast was laid out, and Fang Li and Han Xi sat facing each other.

Han Xi rarely eats breakfast, and the manor's kitchen is almost never used when Fang Li is not around. Seeing him having breakfast with Fang Li, De Rong and the servants were all surprised.

Fang Li slowly sipped her porridge with a porcelain spoon, her moist eyes occasionally glancing up at the man across from her who was looking at his phone and drinking coffee.

"Are you going to the studio today?" A deep male voice suddenly asked.

Fang Li was startled, and her hand trembled so much that she almost dropped the spoon.

Han Xi looked up from his phone screen and looked at her.

His expressionless and serious demeanor made Fang Li's face freeze and she felt inexplicably awkward. How could he say such ambiguous things one second and then remain calm and composed the next?

Fang Li swallowed, put down her spoon, placed her hands on the edge of the table, and looked at him with a cool gaze: "The procedures for the studio are almost done, and the recruitment of staff also needs to be carried out. I plan to start working normally from today."

“I remember you seem to know Han’s HR. Why don’t we hand this job over to her first? Since you like it here, you can rest at home for a few more days,” Han Xi suggested.

"No, the studio has already troubled you enough. How can we continue to rely on the Han family for everything else? I want to handle the recruitment myself."

Fang Li crossed her arms and leaned lightly on the dining table like a student, saying, "Besides, even though I like this place, I can't just stay here all day doing nothing. I work during the day and I still come back at night. It's not like I won't see you."

She spoke with a gentle smile and a soft voice, which softened Han Xi's straight lips. He nodded and said, "I support you if you want to work, but remember not to overwork yourself. Starting today, you can walk with me every morning, and I'll pick you up after you finish in the evening."

Fang Li: "No need for that. How's the repair of that BMW from last time? I can drive there myself."

"I can't drive myself." Han Xi refused without even thinking.

"Why not? I got my driver's license a long time ago, and my driving skills are better than my brother's!"

"That's not OK."

Fang Li said bitterly, "...Then I don't want to ride in your car either."

So ostentatious! The Han family and the Huanyu Building are so close together. If someone she knows sees her like that, how can she work normally? The gossip will be enough to engulf her!

She pouted and glared at Han Xi for a while. Han Xi looked at her too, but after a long time, he finally gave in and sighed softly.

"I'll arrange the car for you."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li couldn't help but smile.

Then the man's deep voice continued, "But you're not allowed to drive yourself; have the family driver take you."

"No need." Fang Li's tone instantly returned to its cheerful tone. "Brother Tian will arrive this afternoon, and I'll have him with me from now on."

Han Xi gave her a deep look, his brows furrowing slightly. Although he knew that her trust in Yu Tian was merely like that of a family member and she had no other feelings for him, he was still somewhat displeased.

"You seem to trust him completely."

"What did you say?"

Han Xi pursed his thin lips and remained silent. His dark eyebrows were slightly furrowed, making it impossible to discern the emotions in his eyes.

-

The World Tower.

The black Maybach slowly pulled up to the side of the road. Fang Li looked around like a thief, and once she was sure no one was there, she quickly opened the door, got out of the car, grabbed her bag, and ran towards the building without looking back.

Behind her, Han Xi, who had just raised his hand halfway, silently withdrew it with a dark expression, watching her disappear into the gate before turning his gaze away.

"drive."

The car slowly drove towards the Han family's residence, which was not far away.

Meanwhile, Fang Li had already gone upstairs.

When she entered, Wen Yang had already arrived.

She was showing a very young girl around when she saw Fang Li come in. She greeted the girl and walked towards her.

"Let me introduce you. This is your studio's boss, Xu Fangli."

The little girl's surname is Ji, and her name is Ji Tiantian.

She wasn't very tall, probably just over 1.6 meters. She was wearing a pink T-shirt with denim overalls over it. Her half-length ponytail was braided into a small braid that curled up at the back of her head. When she smiled, she had a dimple on one side of her mouth. She was a naturally sweet girl, sweet from her name to her appearance.

Upon hearing the introduction, she quickly nodded to Fang Li, "Hello, boss!"

Fang Li smiled faintly: "Don't listen to her calling me that. The word 'boss' sounds greasy. From now on, just call me by my name or call me 'sister'."

Lin Mo, who was in the Han's Building across the street, watched Han Xi walk into his office and had just called him "boss" when his ears suddenly started to itch.

"Wen Yang told me you're a recent graduate?"

The young girl clenched her hands nervously and nodded: "I just graduated last month."

"You're not from around here, are you? Why didn't you think about going back to your hometown to develop your career after graduation? Why did you stay in Beijing instead?"

"I'm from Chengdu. Where I'm from, girls are expected to get married when they grow up." Her smile was somewhat forced. "Although I went to university, there's only one path I can take if I go back. I don't want to get married so early, so..."

Fang Li and Wen Yang exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

This world may seem free and peaceful, but in some unknown corners, there are still people who have not been able to completely break free from the shackles of the past.

Fang Li patted Ji Tiantian's shoulder and said with a smile, "Starting today, you'll be my assistant for now. Once everything in the studio is on track, you can choose a position you like."

Ji Tiantian was overjoyed: "Thank you, Boss!"

Fang Li looked at her with a light smile.

Realizing her mistake belatedly, she quickly corrected herself, "Thank you, Sister Fang Li!"

"Go ahead."

Watching Ji Tiantian happily busy herself, Wen Yang turned around and took Fang Li's arm, saying as they walked, "I heard that the Wu family suffered a lot of losses this time. Many companies that had previously cooperated with them have terminated their contracts. If it weren't for the fact that Shengshi Group hasn't made a statement yet, the Wu family probably wouldn't be able to stay in Beijing."

"How does it feel? Being protected by your husband in a fit of rage, doesn't it feel amazing?"

Fang Li glared at her: "You're grinning like that, be careful you don't tear it."

"Get lost!" Wen Yang slapped her, feigning anger, then said indignantly, "But to be honest, the Wu family really doesn't deserve any sympathy. And that Wu Sirou, if she hadn't run away so fast, I would have given her a good beating next time I saw her!"

It's really annoying that they dare to plot against Fang Li and keep pressing her!

"Come on, you think you can beat up others?"

"What's wrong with me!"

"His appearance and fighting ability are seriously mismatched. He's a typical expert who's only good at bullying his own people. He only boasts in front of me."

Wen Yang retorted, "Sister, I didn't use my fists. Let me tell you, I'm a senior member of the gym. The trainers who taught me are all incredibly skilled, and I've learned a few moves myself, okay?"

Fang Li curled her lips: "What did you learn? The Tender Affection Fist?"

"You hate it!"
