Very Painful

Lu Yanchen remembered that Yun Qingqing was playing these tricks to deliberately get his attention, hoping that she wouldn't have to donate her kidney to Wen Wan and could remarry without any obligations. So, Lu Yanchen just gave Yun Qingqing a mocking glance without falling for her tricks. He spoke disdainfully, "Mr. Sheng, weren't you disinterested in this project before?"

Sheng Ting replied casually, "I'm interested now. Mr. Lu, disappointed to see me change my mind?"

A glint of coldness flashed in Lu Yanchen's eyes, and he smiled arrogantly, "I suggest Mr. Sheng to get an eye check. I'm excited,not disappointed, and when I get this project, I'll be even more excited."

Without losing his composure, Sheng Ting merely replied, "Mr. Lu, your interpretation of excitement might lead to misunderstandings."

Yun Qingqing, hiding her laughter, thought, "This is an interesting showdown between Mr. Sheng and Lu Yanchen." Although Sheng Ting remained expressionless, compared to Lu Yanchen, Yun Qingqing found him excessively good-looking.

Remaining calm and composed, Sheng Ting responded, "Mr. Lu, you're quite humorous."

Yun Qingqing couldn't help but give Lu Yanchen a sidelong glance, only to be caught in the act.

Lu Yanchen observed her with disdain and said, "Mr. Sheng, do you think using her will successfully piss me off?"

Clearly, when Lu Yanchen mentioned "her" in his words, he was referring to Yun Qingqing.

Without rushing to respond to Lu Yanchen, Sheng Ting leaned down and whispered in Yun Qingqing's ear, "Secretary Yun, your bonus for this month will be doubled."

Her pupils dilated, and then Yun Qingqing smiled brightly. For the first time, she truly understood the concept of "the third party benefits from the tussle." She had only been at work for a few days, and her bonus was already doubling. She needed money more than ever.

What could she do? She wanted to embrace her boss unconditionally. She unilaterally declared that Sheng Ting was the best boss in the world.

Lu Yanchen, with his hands already clenched into fists, stood there in disbelief. Seeing Yun Qingqing being used by another man and smiling like a fool right in front of him, he thought, "This woman is incredibly naive. She's practically helping count the money after being sold."

Sheng Ting responded directly with his actions, answering Lu Yanchen's earlier statement. Lu Yanchen's current demeanor was so obvious that anyone with functioning eyes could see how flustered he was.

Lu Yanchen, his gaze exceptionally dark, deliberately slowed down his speech, enunciating each word as he said, "Yun Qingqing, looking at your foolish appearance, I'm genuinely grateful that I divorced you."

Yun Qingqing, who was grinning from ear to ear, replied in a cheerful tone, "Mutual feelings! Divorcing you was a great decision! I'm lucky to have such a perfect boss like Mr. Sheng."

Standing beside Sheng Ting, Xu Lin remained silent. Although he didn't know what Sheng Ting had whispered to Yun Qingqing, as his executive assistant, he was well aware that Sheng Ting was far from being a perfect boss.

"Yun Qingqing, you'll regret this," Lu Yanchen said in a stern tone before stepping away with a scowl.

Yun Qingqing, still wearing a cheerful smile, thought to herself, "What a childish man!" She had grown more mature and had no interest in engaging in such behavior. Right now, all she cared about was her bonus.

Once Sheng Ting's figure disappeared from Yun Qingqing's sight, she immediately turned around, her eyes glistening as she looked at Lu Yanchen.

"Mr. Lu, is what you just said true?" Yun Qingqing asked.

Lu Yanchen nodded, "Yes."

In stark contrast to Yun Qingqing, Sheng Ting was not in need of money at the moment.

Yun Qingqing extended her hand, wanting to give Sheng Ting a big hug, but she took a step back instead. She couldn't afford to offend such an excellent boss.

She formed a heart shape with her hands and sweetly said, "Mr. Sheng, before I met you, I didn't believe there could be a perfect person in this world. But now I do. You not only possess unparalleled beauty but also an incredibly kind, sincere, and pure heart. I will follow you unconditionally, no matter the challenges, and I won't have any complaints."

Cough, cough, cough... Xu Lin choked on his own saliva.

Lu Yanchen, on the other hand, remained remarkably composed. "Secretary Yun, I like your honesty as a subordinate."

Yun Qingqing patted her chest firmly. "Mr. Lu, everything I just said is from the bottom of my heart!"

Xu Lin, finally overcoming his coughing fit, started choking again. This was sheer torment. He had hoped to remain just a mindless tool, but upon entering the Public Resource Trading Center, it was Xu Lin, the tool, who was handed the queue number.

He got a decent number, '6.' Meanwhile, Lu Yanchen, with his number '7,' had already scolded his own assistant. To make matters worse, he saw Yun Qingqing taking a thermos from her bag and providing considerate service to her rival.

This was ten times more infuriating than Lu Yanchen receiving number seven.

In Yun Qingqing's thermos, there was freshly hand-ground black coffee. What was truly remarkable was that she had brought Sheng Ting's cup with her as well. She learned from Xu Lin that Sheng Ting had a strong preference for cleanliness. How could she let her boss, who had such high standards, drink coffee from a disposable cup?

After receiving the coffee, Sheng Ting elegantly took a few sips. After placing the cup on the table, he looked at Yun Qingqing and said in an indifferent tone, "Secretary Yun, you are thorough in your work. I've decided to give you a ten percent raise."

Yun Qingqing calculated how much a ten percent raise on her salary would amount to and truly exerted her utmost effort not to take advantage of Sheng Ting.

Work made her incredibly happy!

After taking several deep breaths, she finally found her voice, which had become quite husky.

"Thank you, Mr. Sheng. You are truly the best boss in the world."

Xu Lin had a deeply complex expression on his face.

Oh my goodness! Let him be a deaf tool instead!

As a joyful worker, Yun Qingqing even felt happy going to the restroom. However, when she stepped out of the restroom, she saw her ex-husband's gloomy face, which instantly wiped the happiness off her face.

"Yun Qingqing, the way you acted just now, you really seemed like a lapdog by his side."

When Yun Qingqing stopped in front of Lu Yanchen, she hadn't spoken yet, and the man took a step back. This was purely a conditioned reflex. Lu Yanchen was afraid Yun Qingqing would step on him again.

Yun Qingqing did indeed want to crush Lu Yanchen's foot, but she feared that if she advanced, no one would catch her from behind when she fell.

So she only kept her hands in front of her and smiled.

"I like what I do willingly. After all, it's the same as pouring tea and water, but he won't want my blood or kidneys. He'll give me money."

Lu Yanchen was so furious that his veins bulged. "Yun Qingqing, are you a fool? You could have been the Third Young Madam of the Lu Family and instead, you chose to become his secretary, let him play you and use you, just to earn so little money."

Before, he directly gave Yun Qingqing a black card.

Yun Qingqing, with an icy gaze, had no desire to engage in any conversation with Lu Yanchen, who she considered a waste of oxygen.

She happened to see Sheng Ting and immediately went up to greet him with a radiant smile.

In Lu Yanchen's eyes, her appearance made him wish he could assist Sheng Ting in the restroom. After all, they were at the Public Resource Trading Center, and they both had to maintain their composure, not turning things into an ugly mess.

The results of the bidding were just as Yun Qingqing expected. Lu's Group and Sheng's Group both made it past the initial selection, and three other companies would participate in the final round.

Yun Qingqing genuinely believed that Sheng Ting would beat Lu Yanchen.

She didn't need to accompany Sheng Ting to the banquet tonight, so she was able to leave work on time. She bought some buns and ate them on her way to the residential complex where Bai An'ning lived.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp blow to her neck. She lost consciousness immediately, and the buns fell from her hand.

It hurt so much!

Yun Qingqing forced herself to open her eyes...
