Chapter 1: Spring is a season of love

  Wu Tian sat on the steps by the roadside, basking in the sun and gazing at the beauties passing by. Spring had arrived, all things were reviving, and it was again the season for flirting, Wu Tian being no exception.

  Wu Tianping has two great hobbies in his life: smoking and chasing girls. Eating doesn't count, that's instinct. Bragging is not counted either, that's a habit.

  Unlike those males who pretend to be nice to their girlfriends while secretly glancing at other beauties, Wu Tian's gaze is direct and bold, even making the beauties whose eyes meet his blush and palpitate. His evil and hungry eyes always make women feel like they've been stripped bare.

  It's not that Wu Tian likes to be a rascal, but on such a sunny day, facing the sisters wearing super short skirts on the street, Wu Tian feels that if he doesn't take a few more glances, it would be simply disrespectful to them.

  "I'm so hungry!" Wu Tian rubbed his stomach, his eyes were full but his stomach was empty. The heat he absorbed from the sun obviously couldn't replace the lunch he didn't eat. Looking at the five-dollar bill tightly clutched in his hand, which had already become sweaty, thinking that there were still ten days until the end of the month, Wu Tian felt a sense of powerlessness throughout his body, and really didn't know how to get through the next ten days.

  Wu Tian took out a box of Zhongnanhai from his pocket, rummaged through it for a while, and only pulled out a lighter. Looking at the empty cigarette case, if Wu Tian was just physically exhausted earlier, he was now completely desperate, because he had run out of cigarettes.

  A wisp of blue smoke floated into Wu Tian's nostrils, and as he breathed in, Wu Tian was slightly stunned. He had never smelled this scent before. It was a faint fragrance, seemingly nonexistent, like a beautiful woman dancing in front of him with a thin veil, deeply tempting and attracting him. Wu Tian was also an old smoker, but he had never smelled this scent before, nor had he ever felt this way.

  Wu Tian turned his head back in confusion, and the expression on his face froze immediately. He saw the person smoking at a glance, or rather, among the many people behind him, Wu Tian's eyes only had her alone.

  She sat just behind Wu Tian, the two of them only a step apart. Wu Tian didn't dare say she was the most beautiful woman here, but he dared to say that she was absolutely the most attractive one. Her black dress, black pants, and black high heels were set off by deep colors that gave off an air of mystery, both noble and sexy. Her skin was white and delicate, radiating a healthy glow, her shiny hair making her look elegant and enchanting, with an inexplicable charm. The thing that left the deepest impression on Wu Tian was still those autumn-water-like eyes, deep and focused, yet revealing a faint haze of melancholy. She rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought, a slender cigarette burning between her delicate fingers, a wisp of smoke curling around her.

  Red lips, cigarette smoke. Seduction, loneliness. A feeling that cannot be expressed, a feeling that cannot be grasped filled Wu Tian's heart, making it difficult for him to forget for a long time.

  In the crowd I searched for her in vain, suddenly turning around, she was standing there amidst the dim light of the lanterns.

  Perhaps because he had to face the beauty at home all day, Wu Tian's resistance was super strong, and he quickly came back to his senses. After all, the one at home could not be said to be a beauty, but rather an arch-nemesis.

  "Lend me a cigarette!" Wu Tian said to the other person, while showing him an empty cigarette box, as if to tell him that he was only borrowing a cigarette and not hitting on him.

  The beauty's eyelashes fluttered, her enchanting eyes gazed through the thin smoke at Wu Tian. If someone had ulterior motives, they would definitely avoid her after meeting her pure gaze. But Wu Tian looked at her calmly in the smoke, his peaceful and casual gaze revealing a hint of ease and openness.

  She pulled out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Wu Tian, the cigarette pack looked only as big as a lipstick. Wu Tian took one from it and put it in his mouth, picked up the lighter and lit it for himself.

  "Bang!"

  "Hiss~~~~whoosh~~~~!"

  Wu Tian slowly opened his closed eyes, this was a flavor he had never tasted before, but it could be confirmed that it should be one of the fruit flavors, no wonder the smell would be so fragrant.

  "Thank you!" Wu Tian said. He found that many men around him were staring at him with envy in their eyes, and... seemed to be thinking of borrowing a cigarette like Wu Tian, but looked like they didn't have enough courage.

  The woman didn't say a word, she just put the cigarette box away, placed the long, thin cigarette to her rosy lips and took a light puff, then sank back into her intense concentration that no one could decipher, surrounded by smoke.

  Watching her elegant movements, people seem to have forgotten that smoking is harmful to health and even forget to borrow a cigarette, because at this moment, there is only one thought in their minds: to become the cigarette in her hand!

  Wu Tian stood up and left with a cigarette in his mouth. Beautiful things only need to be experienced once. Take advantage of the surprise, excitement, and intoxication that still lingers in your heart when you "turn back suddenly", and leave while the lights are still dim. Staying there any longer will only make this feeling fade away, or even turn into a cheap thrill.

  Wu Tian took a deep drag and then flicked the cigarette butt away.

  "Littering cigarette butts everywhere, fine of 50!"

  An old lady with a red armband suddenly appeared in front of Wu Tian, ruining his indulgent and melancholic mood.

  Wu Tian's mouth twitched slightly, and he won the bid again.

  This old lady is everywhere, seeing you about to spit phlegm with a "hicc" sound, and also seeing the cigarette butt in your hand, but instead of reminding you, she hides in some corner, waiting for you to spit or throw the cigarette butt on the ground, then suddenly appears in front of you, starting to seriously fine you.

  Wu Tian collected his thoughts and, as if he hadn't seen the old lady who suddenly appeared, bent down to pick up the cigarette butt, put it in his mouth and took a hard drag.

  "My hand slipped and it fell." Wu Tian said calmly, then walked forward with a worried face.

  Just kidding! Those five or six times weren't for nothing, experience is always gained in the midst of fighting against enemies. Walking a few meters out, Wu Tian glanced back at the old lady who was still stunned, seeing that she hadn't come to her senses yet, Wu Tian swung his arms and ran off with a whoosh.

  If you don't run now, when will you?

  "Stop, stop!" The old lady reacted and rushed to chase after Wu Tian, shouting loudly. However, it was already too late, Wu Tian had already disappeared into the crowd without a trace.

  ……

  Shengtian Group is a pharmaceutical company that integrates research, production and sales, headquartered in Beijing. The Shengtian Building is located outside the North Fifth Ring Road, with the construction of the nearby Olympic Park and the holding of the Olympics, this originally inconspicuous 12-story building has now increased its value several times, making those real estate developers very envious.

  Wu Tianji reluctantly walked into the Shengtian Building, the negotiation task was not completed, and the sales order was not taken down. This last opportunity he also did not grasp, it seems that the goddess of fate ultimately abandoned him.

  "Alas!" Wu Tian let out a deep sigh. If only there was someone who could swim faster than him among those few billion, he wouldn't have to be the one to deal with this world's troubles.

  "Good morning, Director Wu!" The front desk's Zhang Yi smiled brightly at the incoming Wu Tian. The young girl was not very old, with a delicate and lovely appearance, and when she smiled, her two eyes curved like two crescent moons, very captivating.

  Wu Tian walked up to the front desk and sat down, putting the file package on it, saying weakly, "It's still early, it's already four o'clock."

  "Hehe, Director Wu came back at 4:50 yesterday." Another consultant, Huang Lei, said with a playful face to Wu Tian.

  Zhang Wei and Huang Le are the twin receptionists of Sheng Tian Building, not only do they have similar temperament, but also look alike. Normally they are elegant and refined, polite and courteous to people and things, but once you get familiar with them, you will find that the two women are very lively, just like a next-door sister.

  "Haven't I told you before? I'm no longer the deputy director of R&D. Now, I'm just an ordinary salesperson in the marketing department. So, just call me by my name." Wu Tian said with feigned disappointment, his eyes darting back and forth between the two sisters.

  "How can that be? In our hearts, you will always be the talented and unruly Wu Fengzi!" Zhang Yi said seriously, then burst out laughing. She glanced around the hall, then leaned in close to Wu Tian and asked in a low voice, "Tian Ge, how did you manage to offend that cold-faced demoness?"

  "You've asked me this question five or six times already. How come you still don't give up?" Wu Tian said, looking at Zhang Yi's curious face.

  "Aren't we worried about you?" said Huang Lei, who was standing beside her, while putting on a concerned expression at the right moment.

  "Concerned? Now only a warm and soft bosom can comfort my wounded heart." Wu Tian looked at Huang Le's chest with a smile that was not quite a smile, exuding an air of mischief.

  Huang Le's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she glared at Wu Tian with a bad temper. She then crossed her arms in front of her chest, blocking Wu Tian's line of sight, and said angrily, "I hate you!"

  "Right, Brother Tian." Zhang Yi seemed to have thought of something and seriously said to Wu Tian, "After you left this afternoon, Secretary Liu passed on a message that whenever you return, go to the general manager's office. You'd better be careful, Mother Nightwalker's mood seems to be very bad today, and two middle-level executives were laid off."

  "Alright, I'll be careful!" Wu Tian nodded after hearing that and stood up to head towards the elevator.

  But in his heart, he was thinking: Last night I secretly ate her midnight snack, starving her for a whole night, and she's still in a good mood?

  I am a divider line
