Watch Me Take You Down!

Shen Lang felt somewhat helpless and scratched his head. "Director Liu, calm down. I've already finished my work. Playing games won't affect the company."

"Stop with your nonsense! Whether you've finished your work or not, this is company policy! If I catch you playing games during work hours again, you won't be the manager anymore!" Liu Xiaoxiao was furious.

"Fine," Shen Lang sighed inwardly.

"Show me the work you've completed!" Liu Xiaoxiao demanded irritably.

Shen Lang handed over the processed documents to Liu Xiaoxiao. She intended to scold him thoroughly, but to her surprise, she couldn't find a single flaw in the documents. Despite his attitude, he was competent enough to leave her speechless.

"Director Liu, how is it?" Shen Lang smirked.

"Hmph, it's passable. Come to my office after lunch," Liu Xiaoxiao said coldly.

"Uh, alright."

Shen Lang agreed, sensing trouble brewing.

"If I don't give you a good lesson, do you really think I'm as easy to bully as a little match girl?" After leaving the office, Liu Xiaoxiao's face twisted into a cunning smirk.

She couldn't stand Shen Lang and his earlier insult about her "mother T-Rex". If she didn't teach this shameless man a lesson, she couldn't swallow her pride.

As quitting time approached, Shen Lang arrived outside the executive office on the top floor as agreed.

Approaching the office, Shen Lang noticed the door was slightly ajar.

He hesitated but decided to take a peek inside.

Damn, I almost fell into her trap!

What did Shen Lang see?

He caught Liu Xiaoxiao pulling a pill from her sleeve and dropping it into a glass of water on her desk, then quickly swirling it around.

Shen Lang casually pushed the door open and entered.

Startled, Liu Xiaoxiao hurriedly blocked the glass of water, afraid that Shen Lang had noticed.

Seeing Shen Lang remain composed, Liu Xiaoxiao tried to act nonchalant. "Manager Shen, you've been working hard."

"Not at all," Shen Lang replied.

She had kept a frosty demeanor until now, suddenly being polite—her acting skills were poor.

"With such a heavy workload, how can it not be hard? Here, take a drink and rest for a moment," Liu Xiaoxiao picked up the glass of water and handed it to Shen Lang.

Sure enough, it was meant for him!

Shen Lang silently congratulated himself. He nearly fell victim to whatever was in that water. This woman was incredibly vicious, putting who knows what inside.

Taking the glass, Shen Lang pondered how to expose Liu Xiaoxiao's scheme.

Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door. "Director Liu, sorry to disturb you. Here's a document for you."

A female employee delivered a document.

Liu Xiaoxiao walked over immediately. Shen Lang smirked, thinking she had had her fun with him, and now it was his turn.

Quickly, he poured the water from his glass into Liu Xiaoxiao's glass on the desk.

Taking the document, Liu Xiaoxiao turned around. Shen Lang, pretending he had finished drinking, slowly placed the empty glass on the desk.

"Director Liu, why does this water taste funny?" Shen Lang pretended.

Liu Xiaoxiao secretly rejoiced, thinking Shen Lang had already drunk the water with the laxative.

"Manager Shen, actually, I think there have been some misunderstandings between us. How about this? I'll treat you to lunch, and we can discuss things," Liu Xiaoxiao smiled charmingly.

That smile was dazzling.

Shen Lang felt a chill run down his spine. He thought if she was so kind, he might as well jump into the river.

Thinking about how close he came to falling for her trap with the water laced with laxative, Shen Lang felt a bit mischievous. He wanted to see if Liu Xiaoxiao would end up shooting herself in the foot.

"Sure, beautiful lady, I can't refuse a lunch invitation from you," Shen Lang said with a grin.

Liu Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with disdain. Who did he think he was?

She even wanted to cozy up to her—how absurd!

"Ahem, Manager Shen is too kind," Liu Xiaoxiao approached Shen Lang.

Shen Lang couldn't help but glance down at her beneath the OL uniform's collar, revealing a tempting expanse of snow-white skin.

Blushing, Liu Xiaoxiao stepped back, clutching her collar. She thought this guy was indeed a pervert, and she would teach him a lesson later!

With an hour left before the laxative would take effect, Liu Xiaoxiao had made up her mind.

"Director Liu, it's getting late. Shall we go?" Shen Lang coughed.

"Alright," Liu Xiaoxiao chuckled inwardly.

They left the company building, where Liu Xiaoxiao headed to the parking lot and drove out a black BMW X6 convertible.

A beautiful woman inviting him out, and she was a top-tier rich beauty.

For another man, it would be a dream come true, but Shen Lang felt uneasy all over.

What kind of trick was this woman playing?

"Manager Shen, get in the car," Liu Xiaoxiao glanced at Shen Lang.

"Okay," Shen Lang opened the passenger door and got in.

Liu Xiaoxiao shot him a contemptuous glance. She thought even a goddess like her had never invited another man into her car. Today, this jerk was really getting a lucky break.

During this time, the company's employees had finished work and saw a man getting into Liu Xiaoxiao's car, casting surprised glances at them.

Shen Lang had just started working, so he didn't know many people.

Liu Xiaoxiao was one of the two beauties of Lingya International, with looks and temperament no less than Su Ruoxue's, a celebrity in the company.

"Hey, isn't that Director Liu's car?"

"A man actually got into Director Liu's car."

"Oh my, could he be Director Liu's kept man?"

A group of female employees whispered, causing Liu Xiaoxiao to feel ashamed and annoyed. She glared at the smiling Shen Lang beside her, wishing she could kick him away.

Quickly closing the car door, Liu Xiaoxiao started the BMW and drove away from Lingya International.

Driving the car, Liu Xiaoxiao didn't say a word to Shen Lang all the way. Anyway, this guy had taken the bait.

After driving for a while in the BMW, Shen Lang felt something was amiss. This route didn't seem right?

Liu Xiaoxiao drove straight to the outskirts and reached a desolate area with no one around.

"Director Liu, where are we going? Isn't it a bit far for dinner?" Shen Lang asked tentatively.

Liu Xiaoxiao chuckled inwardly. Dinner? With me here, do you still want dinner?

"There's a farmhouse nearby in the western suburbs. The food there is excellent. Today, I, as the director, will take you there to try it," Liu Xiaoxiao coughed lightly.

"Well, after driving for so long, the food must be very tasty," Shen Lang agreed.

After another ten minutes of driving, the BMW arrived at a farmhouse.

After meandering around for a while, the BMW entered a remote area in the wilds.

Liu Xiaoxiao checked the time on her phone, a wicked smile playing on her lips.

It's been an hour already. The laxative should be kicking in soon, right?
