Return to the Company

Lu Yue had just wanted to help Li Yan by resting his head on her lap, but Li Yan woke up earlier, and now he was even farther away from her.

"We're going back to our house." Lu Yue recalled what Ning Zhi had written in her notebook —if he had a headache, gently massaged his temples to help him feel better.

"Our house?" Li Yan shook off Lu Yue's hand. Her pungent perfume made him feel nauseous.

"Yes, Elder Brother Li, the villa you gave me." Lu Yue sounded aggrieved, but the thought of spending the night with him immediately filled her with anticipation.

"Go to the company." Li Yan rejected her without hesitation. Then, he straightened his clothes and took out his phone to check the time.

There were messages from Sha Lan and, surprisingly, Wan Feng too.

Li Yan clicked on Wan Feng's message first. What was even more surprising was that Wan Feng praised Ning Zhi.

[It's a pleasure to work with you, CEO Li. Your assistant is very impressive. If you're willing to let her join our company, I'd be more than happy.]

A pleasure to work together? Li Yan tapped on his throbbing head. Could it be that Ning Zhi and the rest had managed to win over Wan Feng?

Li Yan then clicked on Sha Lan's message which confirmed his suspicion.

[CEO Li, Special Assistant Ning has successfully dealt with Director Wan. The contract has been signed and the project is secured.]

He did not expect her to succeed. He was surprised to see how capable she had become. Had she been hiding her true abilities all along?

His contemplation only intensified his headache. Li Yan closed his eyes and pinched his temples. However, Ning Zhi's face kept appearing in his mind.

"Elder Brother Li, let me massage your head. It'll feel very comfortable." Lu Yue tried to fawn over him again, her hands wandering about his body.

"No need. I said we're going to the company." He pushed Lu Yue away again and distanced himself from her. He rolled down the window, letting in the cold breeze, which helped him regain some clarity.

Lu Yue sat dejectedly on the side. Damn, that annoying Ning Zhi!

When he was sleeping, he was sweating profusely and tightly furrowing his brows. She had wanted to take this opportunity to impress him but as soon as she leaned over, she heard him murmuring, "Ningning… Ningning…"

Of course, Lu Yue knew who Ningning was, but she couldn't understand why. Everyone looked similar, and they acted similarly too. Why was it that Ning Zhi could capture his attention and make him so infatuated?

Now he wanted to go to the company as soon as his eyes were opened—all because of Ning Zhi, that persistent person!

In the company's meeting room, Ning Zhi sat in the middle. She looked around and eventually settled her gaze on He Tong. Then, she shifted her gaze.

"Traitor, are you planning to confess or should I expose you?"

"What do you mean? Are you accusing me? The document was reviewed by you. Are you trying to make me take the blame?" He Tong did not want to back down. She stepped forward and retorted, but it seemed like she was inadvertently confessing.

"I didn't say it was you. Why are you getting so worked up?" Ning Zhi appeared at ease. She leaned back in her chair, looking teasingly at He Tong.

"By the way, what were you doing the day before yesterday?" Ning Zhi suddenly asked. The day before yesterday happened to be the time when the contract was delivered to Wan Ge Group.

"The day before yesterday… The day before yesterday, I went to work as usual, then went home. What's wrong?" He Tong did not expect Ning Zhi to boldly question her face-to-face, catching her off guard.

"Is that so? Then why did someone see you leaving Wan Ge Group? You were the one who delivered this document, right?" Ning Zhi tossed a photo onto the table. It appeared to be a still shot taken from the surveillance camera.

"So what if I went there?" He Tong didn't expect her to have access to the surveillance video. She tried to maintain her defiance since a blurry figure in the photo couldn't prove much.

"Also, half an hour before you went to the Wan Ge Group, my work account was suddenly logged in from your computer IP's address. Can you explain that?" Ning Zhi presented a screenshot of evidence for everyone to see.

"You faked this image, right?" He Tong didn't expect Ning Zhi to discover this either.

"You can discuss whether it's fake or not with the police. They will tell you the answer." Ning Zhi had a half-smile, half-serious expression.

Everyone in the sales department observed the situation and they knew who the real instigator behind now.

At this moment, the police entered the room. "Who is He Tong? Please come with us."

He Tong wanted to argue back but upon seeing the police, her mind went blank, and she slumped to the ground.

"No, no… How can this be? Manager Sha, please believe me!" He Tong pleaded with Sha Lan as the police dragged her away.
