"Late, te, te!"

  Inside the company building, Wang Wenxin, dressed in cssic office attire, was clutching her files and rushing to her desk in a hurry.

  As she hastily took her seat, she turned to her colleague beside her and asked, "Sister Li! Has the boss arrived yet?"

  "Not yet," Sister Li from the adjacent desk stood up, gnced around, and smiled, "You're in luck today, girl. It's a rare occasion for the boss to be te, and you happened to catch it."

  "Hey, good morning!"

  A greeting slowly echoed as Gu Qing appeared behind them without anyone noticing, wiping the sweat from her forehead. She asked, "Has your Brother Feng arrived?"

  The woman's sudden appearance startled the two, and Wang Wenxin instinctively excimed, "Oh my God, Sister Gu, you’re not te!? Did the sun rise from the west today?"

  "Enough with the nonsense," Gu Qing, slightly embarrassed, repeated, "Seriously, has that madman arrived yet?"

  Hearing this, Wang Wenxin smirked and replied, "The boss isn't here yet. This is the first time I've seen him te since I started working here... Hey? Sister Li, why are you pinching me?"

  The pain made her turn her gaze to her colleague, who was gesturing frantically. Although she didn't know what she had said wrong, she immediately stopped talking.

  Fortunately, Gu Qing seemed not fully awake and didn't catch what was said. After asking, she returned to her corner seat with a sullen face.

  Seeing Gu Qing leave, Wang Wenxin leaned over to her colleague and whispered, "Sister Li, what happened just now? Did I say something wrong?"

  Her colleague rolled her eyes and retorted, "What do you think? Let me ask you, who is the boss of our company?"

  Wang Wenxin found the question baffling and answered directly, "Isn't it obvious? It's Brother Feng! He's like a machine when he works, showing no leniency!"

  "Wrong!" Sister Li shook her head and continued, "You've just joined the company, so you don't know much. Actually, our real boss is Sister Gu."

  "What? Sister Gu? That silly one?" Wang Wenxin excimed softly, and seeing Sister Li gre at her, she corrected herself, "How is that possible? Sister Li, isn't Sister Gu just a scker? She does nothing all day except sleep and watch videos. Besides, didn't you just call Brother Feng the boss?"

  "Not at all," Sister Li expined, "Calling Brother Feng the boss is just a joke. Sister Gu is the actual president of our company. She doesn't go to the office because she finds the corner seat more comfortable, warm in winter and cool in summer."

  This news left the newly joined Wang Wenxin in shock, speechless for a long time.

  Still in disbelief, she continued to ask, "Then what does our Brother Feng do? He's so strict all the time. If he's not the boss, who is?"

  Upon hearing this, Sister Li's expression changed multiple times. She leaned in close and whispered in a very low voice:

  "Don't tell anyone, but here's some gossip: Brother Feng and the boss were actually college cssmates, and after graduation, he became the boss's kept lover!"

  As the two were gossiping, a stern voice suddenly interrupted them.

  "Hey! What are you two doing!? Chatting during work hours, do you know what time it is?"

  Yan Feng walked over to the two women with a stern face, smming a file into Sister Li's hands, and instructed, "Sister Li, I need this report by the afternoon."

  Turning his gaze, he looked at the stunned Wang Wenxin and pointed at her computer, saying, "How long have you been here without starting work? Turn on your computer quickly. I've sent you some data. Review it within two hours, then pass it to Little Wang across from you for another check. Make sure it's error-free and hand it to me by 2 PM."

  "Brother Feng, here's a file for you to review..." As soon as the words were out, another colleague handed a folder to him. He nodded in acknowledgment, and then voices started coming from all directions.

  "Brother Feng, yesterday's financial report is out. Please take a look."

  "Just leave it in the office. I'll check it ter."

  "Brother Feng, Zhang's Group sent over the contract st night. Do you want to sign it?"

  "Yeah, leave it in the office."

  "Good morning, Brother Feng!"

  "Morning, but you're te. Sary deduction... mine too."

  "No, Brother Feng!"

  "..."

  As soon as Yan Feng appeared, the pressure in the office skyrocketed, and everyone was too afraid to breathe, quickly diving into their work.

  Well, except for one person.

  "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" After dealing with the surrounding tasks, Yan Feng stormed over to the corner desk, grabbed the ear of the sleeping woman, and pulled her up.

  "Take it easy!"

  "Easy? Do you know what time it is? Still sleeping? Hurry up and come sign some documents!" Yan Feng yelled, tugging at the woman.

  Seeing her drooling in her sleep only fueled his anger. Though he let go of her ear, he still grabbed Gu Qing by the colr like a chick and marched her towards the office.

  "Sleeping first thing in the morning, I told you not to stay up te st night. You must have been drinking again!"

  Ignoring the fearful or envious gnces, Yan Feng pushed open the office door, walked in, and tossed the still-filing woman into her rightful seat.

  With a thud, a thick contract was spped onto the desk.

  "Read and sign it quickly. The finance department is waiting."

  With that, Yan Feng skillfully pulled over a small chair from the side and sat not far from the woman, starting to handle the documents on the desk.

  Gu Qing reluctantly stretched, took the file, picked up a pen, and without even looking at it, scribbled a few lines before looking up at him:

  "No ink..."

  A new pen was tossed in front of her. Gu Qing chuckled foolishly, signed the document, and asked ingratiatingly, "Hehe, little madman, can I go back to sleep now?"

  "No."

  To her surprise, his refusal was swift. Sitting in his chair, still reading the documents, he didn't even look up as he said, "You need to read it."

  "I already did!"

  "Read it carefully," Yan Feng ignored her pitiful look and insisted, "You have to go through everything."

  Seeing her attempts to please him fail, Gu Qing pouted, lowered her head, and meticulously read the document before signing it and handing it over to him.

  "Here, can I go back to sleep now?"

  "Still no," Yan Feng still didn't look up, but he reached into the drawer, pulled out a packet of oatmeal, and tossed it onto the desk with another thud:

  "Eat this."

  The atmosphere around them grew slightly ambiguous as Gu Qing looked at the packet of oatmeal, feeling a wave of emotion.

  Seems like this blockhead does care about me after all...

  But then he added: "There's a cup next to you. Make it yourself, I'm busy."

  Gu Qing's face turned dark, thinking that this man, as expected, only cared a little bit about her.

  "Eat outside, finish it, then sleep. Don't disturb my work."

  Her previously upturned lips twitched again.
