Que Tang eventually had to join Yu Xia. However, before resigning, she spent a considerable amount of time providing reports and explanations to her corporate headquarters. Resigning at such a juncture to jump ship to a partner company would, in the eyes of both outsiders and insiders, appear as a failure to maintain a proper conflict-of-interest protocol.
Before her departure, she analyzed the joint development of the telecommunications market with Yu Xia, proving that her company had still secured significant interests and that she had minimized risks as much as possible. This demonstrated that there was no so-called "exchange of favors." Only after obtaining the understanding of the high-level executives did they finally let her go. After more than two months of tossing and turning through the process, she officially entered Yu Xia.
"Tang, look, this is the newly renovated General Manager's office." Today, Yu Luoyan wore a white silk blouse paired with black trousers, a silk scarf around her neck, and her curly hair tied in a ponytail—a chic, professional look straight out of a fashion magazine. She leaned into Que Tang, her expression full of delight.
Que Tang held her body stiffly, conscious of the gazes behind her. She stared at the General Manager's office, which looked entirely different from her memory. "The original was fine as it was. Why go through the trouble of redecorating?" Though curious, it was merely a casual question.
However, the moment Yu Luoyan recalled what Song Aotian had been doing when she first walked into this office, she felt a wave of nausea toward the original decor and furniture. Who knew what else that man had done or where he had done it?
Unwilling to let Que Tang know the truth, she simply smiled and said, "I’ve seen your old office and know you prefer a relaxing work environment. After all, it’s because of me that you were forced to join Yu Xia, so at the very least… I hope to make your work a bit more comfortable." Under Que Tang’s long-term influence, the current Yu Luoyan often displayed a side as gentle as water. Of course, this side only appeared for Que Tang.
She pulled Que Tang into the office, closed the door, and immediately couldn't resist pulling her into a kiss. Although the thought of Song Aotian disgusted her, she had to admit that if it were her and Que Tang in this office…
"The supporting female lead's inhibition level has decreased by twenty; inhibition level is now at zero. Host, please be careful, meow~"
Little Mushroom’s notification startled Que Tang in the middle of the kiss, causing her to instinctively push Yu Luoyan away.
Yu Luoyan opened her eyes, dissatisfied, a lingering haze of desire still clouding her gaze. "What’s wrong?"
"I… I just remembered I have to introduce myself at the company’s weekly meeting later. Besides, this is the office; we should be a bit more mindful." Que Tang was absolutely certain that the female lead had been imagining some R-18 office scenario just now… Was the "office.avi" that the female lead failed to complete in the last mission going to be fulfilled in this one?
Que Tang couldn't help but feel she had stepped into a massive trap.
And now that the female lead was in a "shameless" state… she was truly terrified.
Yu Luoyan arched an eyebrow and watched her for a long time, suddenly curling her lips into a deliberately suggestive smile. "Tang-tang, what are you thinking about?"
Feeling guilty, Que Tang blinked innocently and then pretended to check the time on her watch. "It’s almost time. I should go prepare. After all, I’m the person you brought in; I can’t let you lose face."
Upon hearing the phrase "I’m your person"—which she had automatically edited in her mind—Yu Luoyan nodded happily.
Seeing her let go so easily, Que Tang thought that as long as work was mentioned, Yu Luoyan would become serious. She really was cut out to be a career woman. If she could just steer Luoyan's interests toward her career, Que Tang believed that in the near future, Yu Luoyan would naturally shift her focus to work.
Filled with beautiful visions of the future, Que Tang’s self-introduction and explanation of the company’s future direction at the weekly meeting were even more vivid. When the subordinates saw that the new boss was a beauty on par with Vice President Yu, yet appeared gentle and approachable, the applause was many times more enthusiastic than it had ever been before.
After the meeting ended, she returned to her office in high spirits. She opened the door, froze for two seconds, instinctively pulled the door shut, stepped back, and stared at the nameplate on the door: General Manager’s Office.
Confirming she hadn't gone to the wrong place, her right hand hesitated on the doorknob, wondering if she should open it again.
"General Manager." The secretary approached carrying a stack of documents. She had intended to deliver them, but seeing Que Tang’s strange behavior in front of the door, she asked curiously, "General Manager… is something the matter?"
Que Tang snapped back to reality and looked at her. "Ah… I just suddenly remembered something I haven't done yet." She turned to leave.
"Then I’ll place these documents on your desk. These are the company’s recent development projects," the secretary offered thoughtfully.
Hearing this, Que Tang suddenly turned back and said seriously, "It’s fine, I’ll go back into the office after all. I’ll take the files in myself." She somewhat forcefully took the folders from the secretary’s hands.
"You go back to your own work."
The secretary nodded, confused. Before she could leave, Que Tang called out to instruct her: "By the way, if anyone comes looking for me, take down their contact information first. If any documents are sent up, just stack them at your desk; there’s no rush to give them to me. I’ll come out and get them myself. You can return to your seat now, thank you."
The secretary figured Que Tang probably wanted to familiarize herself with company affairs and nodded understandingly, returning to her desk to continue her work.
Que Tang stood at the door, clutching the stack of documents. Her right hand gripped the doorknob, and after a long hesitation, she finally opened it.
"Ms. Que Tang, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time." Yu Luoyan was leaning against the office desk, smiling at Que Tang by the door. She was wearing a familiar flight attendant uniform—the very one worn by the airline Que Tang frequently traveled with.
"Luo… Luoyan…" Que Tang quickly shut the door. She realized why the female lead had slipped out halfway through the meeting and vanished; she had come back to change… "What are you doing?" She smiled helplessly, her brow slightly furrowed.
Yu Luoyan left the desk and, like a model on a catwalk, walked slowly toward Que Tang and took the folders from her. "For the rest of the day, I am your personal flight attendant, Ms. Que."
Yu Luoyan pulled her over to the office chair and sat her down, then pulled a seatbelt out from the cabinet behind her.
"Luoyan… was this the purpose of redecorating the office?" Que Tang didn't know what expression to make after catching a glimpse of the drawer earlier. It seemed to contain things that required censorship…
"Passenger, please take your seat. I will fasten your seatbelt for you." Yu Luoyan ignored Que Tang, fully immersed in her role. She leaned over and wrapped the seatbelt from Que Tang’s ribs around the back of the chair, clicking it into place.
Hearing that crisp *click*, Que Tang had a strange premonition that all was lost. She maintained a forced, gentle smile and said firmly, "Luoyan, it’s working hours. Don’t mix business with pleasure."
Yu Luoyan turned to take out the items she had prepared long ago, but her movements paused when she heard the rebuking tone. Like a child who couldn't get any candy, she began to sulk and stopped speaking.
Sensing the atmosphere in the office drop instantly, Que Tang sighed helplessly. She lifted her free hands, pulled Luoyan onto her lap, and coaxed her gently. "Today is my first day working at Yu Xia. I have to be serious; I don’t want to make things difficult for you because I made a mistake. And… I really need your help to get familiar with the company’s affairs. Help me, okay?"
Yu Luoyan, her back to her, remained silent for a long moment before nodding softly. For the first time, she felt needed by Que Tang, rather than it being her own one-sided obsession.
Because Que Tang was so gentle, even if she made excessive demands, Que Tang would only indulge and spoil her as usual. Yu Luoyan enjoyed her affection, but she never knew what Que Tang truly thought of her… which was why she kept acting more and more out of line, trying to test her feelings.
But since Que Tang had come to Yu Xia for her and faced the Yu family for her, could she assume that Que Tang liked her?
"Hmm?" Que Tang leaned against her shoulder. She had to admit she truly had a good impression of this world's female lead. But most of that favor was built on the female lead’s later refusal to admit defeat and her self-improvement.
It seemed that in her memory, there was also someone who was always so stubborn and refused to lose…
"Alright, let’s start then." Yu Luoyan tilted her chin up and opened the files. She had figured it out: even if Que Tang didn't like her now, it didn't mean she wouldn't like her for a lifetime. Didn't Que Tang have a good impression of serious people? Then she would change her approach.
Unaware of the female lead’s complex thoughts, Que Tang looked in bewilderment at Yu Luoyan, who was sitting naturally on her lap. Seeing that self-centered, proud expression, she couldn't help but laugh.
On the eldest miss of the Yu family, all self-centeredness and the concessions made for her felt only right.
At the very least, she was better than the Mrs. Song she first met, who had been hysterical over an unfaithful husband.
With Yu Luoyan’s help, Que Tang quickly got the hang of things. She began implementing changes from within the company, infusing Yu Xia with the management philosophy of her previous company. This more humane working style gave Yu Xia a fresh look from top to bottom. Some of the older executives who had initially opposed her gradually became supportive after seeing the overall work efficiency of their subordinates improve significantly.
While Yu Luoyan helped Que Tang familiarize herself with the company, she also began working on the previous telecommunications development project. The two of them suddenly became incredibly busy. Because of the heavy workload and frequent meetings outside, their time together became scarce, limited only to those few hours after returning home.
Que Tang wanted Yu Luoyan to focus entirely on work, and Yu Luoyan wanted to make Que Tang happy by focusing entirely on work. Both thought they had achieved their goals.
One day, due to an emergency video conference with an overseas client, Que Tang didn't get home until around eight o'clock. Stepping out of the elevator, the first thing she saw was her own iron gate left open. She walked hesitantly to the door and found that not only the outer gate but also the inner door was open, and the living room was pitch black. Her heart tightened, and she walked in quickly with a frown.
"Luoyan? Luoyan?" Que Tang stood at the door and called out, her hand pressing the light switch for the living room, but there was no response; it remained dark. This made her feel extremely uneasy.
She remembered Yu Luoyan calling her to say she was already home, so why now…
Suddenly, her hands were grabbed, and before she could react, she heard a *click*.
Hearing that *click* again, a sense of déjà vu washed over Que Tang.
The last time she heard a similar sound… it seemed to be in the office.
"Ma'am, I am arresting you as a flagrant trespasser."
A familiar voice whispered in Que Tang’s ear. Hearing the word "arrest" and feeling the uncomfortable cold metal on her wrists, she instinctively pulled at her hands, only to find them restricted behind her back, unable to move. Que Tang turned her head in shock, only to see Yu Luoyan dressed in a form-fitting black policewoman's uniform, arching an eyebrow and smiling at her.
"My dear lady, you are under arrest. From now on, you have the right to remain silent, but anything you say… can and will be used as evidence against you in a court of law." Yu Luoyan gripped her chin and spoke close to her face.
