"What do you mean?"

Ye Xunhuan felt it was necessary to give Qiu Ruoxi a heads-up, just in case something happened and she was still in the dark.

"I’ve known Long Ancestress Bodhi for a long time, and she’s a complete lunatic," Ye Xunhuan stated emphatically. "She didn’t come to work at Huangtu Corporation to actually do a job, but to find me!"

"Find you?" Qiu Ruoxi eyed Ye Xunhuan skeptically. "What does she want with you?"

"To make me marry her, to become her husband!" Ye Xunhuan stated emphatically.

"Ye Xunhuan, even if you’re going to lie, can’t you come up with something more believable?" Qiu Ruoxi said with some disdain. "She comes looking for you, asking you to marry her?"

"Are you still half asleep, or are you sleepwalking?"

Qin Muge had brought Long Ancestress Bodhi to meet her, so naturally, Qiu Ruoxi knew exactly what Long Ancestress Bodhi looked like.

Even she had to admit that the woman was beautiful, with an exceptional demeanor!

She posed a fatal attraction to any man.

Now that Ye Xunhuan was saying Long Ancestress Bodhi came to work for him with the sole purpose of getting him to marry her, naturally, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t believe it.

In Qiu Ruoxi’s view, Ye Xunhuan had a delusional disorder.

Apart from her, who married him only under parental pressure, how could any other woman possibly take an interest in him?

Of course, Tang Yurou was an exception, she didn’t know what sort of enchanting soup Ye Xunhuan had fed her.

"You don’t believe me?"

"Do you think I would believe that?" Qiu Ruoxi snorted coldly, "You don’t even have to look in the mirror to know your worth, as if someone would fancy you!"

Ye Xunhuan’s face was covered in black lines!

Dammit, just because you don’t treasure me, doesn’t mean other women don’t see me as a catch.

"If she finds out you’re my wife, she definitely won’t let you off the hook," Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath and said, "Believe it or not, but don’t blame me for not warning you if something actually happens!"

As he finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan walked out.

He really didn’t want to say any more. Why is it so hard to tell the truth these days? Why does no one believe it?

No wonder people are becoming more and more hypocritical and more inclined to lie.

All because they’re forced to!

After Ye Xunhuan left, Qiu Ruoxi was stunned, and couldn’t help but ponder his words. Could it be true?

Was Long Ancestress Bodhi really there to find him, to marry him?

But how could that sound so incredible?

This guy must be lying to me, how could someone like her possibly fall for him!

Afterward, Qiu Ruoxi cleared the messy thoughts from her mind and started concentrating on her work.

After leaving Qiu Ruoxi’s office, Ye Xunhuan went straight back to the Supervision Department.

When he got back to the Supervision Department, Ye Xunhuan found that Long Ancestress Bodhi had taken over his spot, while Tang Yurou was sitting at his desk working diligently.

Ye Xunhuan was dumbfounded. I left for just a moment, and now even my own territory is gone?

Then, Ye Xunhuan changed his train of thought and looked at Long Ancestress Bodhi, saying, "Secretary Long..."

"What is it?" Long Ancestress Bodhi looked up at Ye Xunhuan.

"This is my place, yours should be outside," Ye Xunhuan said lightly.

You wanted to come to work, right?

Do you want to be a secretary?

I’m going to indulge you today.

"Outside?"

"Yes!" Ye Xunhuan nodded and said, "You’re a secretary. Have you ever seen a secretary’s working area being together with their boss’s?"

"But you..."

Ye Xunhuan, as if knowing what Long Zuputi was about to say, cut her off directly, "Do you think you can compare with me?"

"Why are you thinking of stepping on me as soon as you arrive at the company?" Ye Xunhuan snorted coldly, speaking in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "Don’t think that just because you were brought over by President Qin, you can do whatever you want!"

"From now on, your work area will be at the entrance of the office, I will have someone prepare a desk and chair set for you later."

"You want me to be your doorman?" Long Zuputi’s eyes widened immediately, looking at Ye Xunhuan with a hostile face.

"This is work," Ye Xunhuan hummed, "If you’re not satisfied, you can go find President Qin and just leave the way you came!"

Long Zuputi’s fists were already involuntarily clenched together. She wasn’t a fool; how could she not see that Ye Xunhuan was deliberately making things difficult for her?

For a while, the atmosphere in the office became somewhat oppressive.

Even Tang Yurou could feel the tension was like a drawn bow ready to snap.

"Xunhuan, let it be. Why not let her stay here? After all, there’s plenty of space in the office. I can apply for a desk and a computer set for you..."

"No way!" Ye Xunhuan flatly refused, "Rules are rules; they can’t be overstepped!"

"Otherwise, if everyone behaves without any rules, doing whatever they like, then what will become of the entire company in the future?"

Ye Xunhuan spoke with a righteous indignation, purely from the perspective of the company. Even Tang Yurou was at a loss for words for a moment.

"What do you say, Secretary Long?" Ye Xunhuan looked at Long Zuputi with a smirk that wasn’t really a smile.

Long Zuputi opened her mouth, just as she was about to say something, Tang Yurou’s voice came through, "How about this, the supervision department still has a few offices. I’ll talk to the president and give Secretary Long one..."

Tang Yurou’s suggestion was considerate and reasonable.

But it was still rejected by Ye Xunhuan, "No, those offices are for other future leaders of the supervision department, how can we give one to her?"

"Moreover, she just arrived at the company. If we directly give her an office, it might inevitably cause gossip." Ye Xunhuan said softly, "What do you think, Secretary Long?"

At that moment, Long Zuputi was so angry she was gritting her teeth, wishing she could slap Ye Xunhuan right there. This bastard, he actually wanted her to be a doorman for him and seemed determined not to stop until he reached his goal!

After glaring at Ye Xunhuan for a few moments, Long Zuputi finally bit her lip and said, "You’re right, I should sit outside!"

Ye Xunhuan was stunned. Had this woman given in?

Initially, Ye Xunhuan had intended to anger Long Zuputi with this, hoping she would quit on the spot. But now it seemed that she had taken a hard stance against him.

"Secretary Long, don’t listen to him," Tang Yurou said softly, "I will vacate an office for you. You’ll be in another office, and if something comes up, just come find me!"

"Thank you, Director Tang."

As she spoke, Long Zuputi gave Ye Xunhuan a provocative glance, thinking he could make her his doorman? Dream on!

"Yurou, you don’t know about her..."

Long Zuputi immediately gave Ye Xunhuan a somewhat aggrieved look and said, "Assistant Ye, did I offend you in any way for you to target me like this?"

"If so, I apologize and hope you, being the bigger person, won’t hold it against someone small like me, okay?"

As she finished speaking, Long Zuputi’s eyes began to well up, as if tears would fall with the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xunhuan was stunned. Was he seeing things correctly?

The almighty Long Zuputi was about to cry?

Suddenly, Ye Xunhuan felt his entire worldview thrown into chaos.
