Ever since he came back from where Bai Luo Yin was, Gu Hai had become a downright workaholic.

Beside depleting the employees' energy, he did not show any mercy for himself either. The moment he opened his eyes each morning, he lunged face first into an earth-shattering number of documents, and only went to sleep after losing consciousness from wearing himself out—leaving himself no room for a breather at all.

"The main content of today's meeting is to come to an agreement regarding the company's plan pre-IPO,[1] and everyone now present has been chosen to be a member of the LSG.[2] In a moment, we have to select the Secretary to the Board of Directors, who will be responsible for executing specific tasks. The meeting will officially begin now. First off, Vice President Tong will deliver a speech..."

Just as the voice of the person speaking faded, a thunderous applause rolled in. That was not an exaggeration at all, it was indeed a roaring thunder of applauses. Currently, Tong Zhe's popularity in the company had flourished quite considerably, already rivaling that of Gu Hai's. Besides Yan Ya Jing, practically all the female employees adored the Vice President—in a less elegant wording, they were all crazy about him.

However, it was truly pitiful for the group of beautiful women. A rare male specimen that they longed for had finally come to their company, but to their disappointment, his demeanor was like that of Gu Hai's—eternally turning a blind eye toward a beautiful woman. Notwithstanding, they had accepted the situation and moved on. Rather than having either of the two purloined by another woman, it was better to let the two handsome men fall in love with each other. Consequently, they secretly observed Gu Hai and Tong Zhe's interaction every day, and once a so-called 'loving and intimate scene' appeared, a huge ruckus would definitely break out.

When those beautiful women gossiped and fantasized about Gu Hai and Tong Zhe, they would not so indiscreetly implicate Yan Ya Jing and fabricate a series of melodramatic love triangles. That kind of outcome was unavoidable, in light of how Tong Zhe remained beside Gu Hai all day long and was utterly adamant about not letting Yan Ya Jing get close!

Given that Yan Ya Jing spent every day with those beautiful women, it was impossible for her not to hear those slanderous gossips.

At first, she merely treated those gossips as a joking matter. However, the more she mulled over it, the more she felt it was strange, mainly because she had never met Gu Hai's girlfriend. Not only that, the moment Tong Zhe arrived, Gu Hai had treated him with great importance. That meant their personal interactions were certainly not established in a day or two. Combining that with how Tong Zhe had been targeting her with all sorts of negative expressions, Yan Ya Jing had already started to harbor suspicions.
