The door of the office opened again.

A few employees came in and looked at Su Chen curiously.

Su Chen just sat at the desk in the corner and didn’t say much.

“What are you looking at? Hurry up and get busy! If you don’t tell the truth again, that’s what you’ll get!”

Zhang You pointed at Su Chen and spoke arrogantly.

The other employees quickly went back to their seats.

When no one was paying attention Zhang You cupped his fists respectfully at Su Chen to express his apology.

…

Meanwhile…

In the CEO’s office…

Zhou Wanqiu called Li Fengjiao into her office.

“Did anything happen after you walked Su Chen to the secretaries’ office?” Zhou Wanqiu asked.

“I left when Zhang You chased the other employees out,” Li Fengjiao said.

“Later, I heard that Su Chen got beaten up so badly that he knelt on the floor and sang ‘Conquer’.”

“CEO Zhou, if you don’t like Su Chen, why did you let him become your secretary?”

A glance from Zhou Wanqiu made Li Fengjiao shut up.

“Stop asking about things that you shouldn’t be asking about!”

Zhou Wanqiu sounded embarrassed.

She could not bring herself to say that Su Chen was her husband.

After Li Fengjiao left, Zhou Wanqiu called Zhang You.

Zhang You talked about how he had “taught” Su Chen a lesson.

Zhou Wanqiu smiled.

“Alright! Don’t go too far. Just make Su Chen suffer a little!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely complete the mission,” Zhang You said with a smile.

Then, he hung up.

“Su Chen, let’s see how much of this you can bear. Then, you might take the initiative to tell my grandfather that you want to go home!” Zhou Wanqiu snorted.

Meanwhile…

Back in the secretary’s office…

After the events of the morning, Su Chen was a little bored.

Not much was going on in this department.

The honest ones did most of the errands.

Originally, a few older employees wanted to rope Su Chen in to join them, thinking that they also had a newcomer to bully.

In the end, he was reprimanded by Zhang You. Zhang You said that Su Chen was an exclusive underling of their squad.

The employees could only look at Su Chen with pity.

Su Chen found it funny.

“Zhang You is a silver-haired punk. He likes to play games and gossip.”

“Fatty’s name is Liu Pan. He’s an online dating expert and a bootlicker.”

“The muscleman is Tian Yong. He is straightforward and loves fitness and martial arts. He dreams of becoming a hero.”

“There’s also the little delinquent, Su Jiao. She’s simple-minded and doesn’t have any bad intentions.”

Su Chen knew them all well enough now.

Although they were foppish, they were not vicious people.

Lunchtime rolled around.

“Su Chen, come to lunch with us,” Zhang You shouted.

Su Chen smiled and stood up.

Su Chen had some understanding of Zhou Wanqiu’s family’s company now.

Zhou’s Catering Group started out as a food and beverage company.

In Bin Cheng, in addition to their fast food chain, there also owned independent restaurants and food factories. They were also in charge of the cafeterias of many companies and factories.

This company was one of the top food and beverage companies in Bin Cheng.

Of course, there was also a cafeteria in this building.

Su Chen, Zhang You, and the others sat together.

The other employees around them seemed to know them well. They all sat far away.

Su Chen was a little speechless.

However, Zhang You and the others didn’t notice it.

“Su Chen, our three-man team now has one more man. We need to change our name now! Let’s call ourselves… The Stupidly Handsome and Cool People!”

Zhang You was excited.

Su Chen looked at Zhang You and said, “Handsome… Do you think I’m handsome?”

“I’m cool!” Zhang You said.

“I’m a person,” Fatty quickly answered.

“I am…” Tian Yong started, then his expression fell.

Su Jiao laughed out loud.

Their friendship improved.

“Look, CEO Zhou is here!”

Everyone turned around.

Zhou Wanqiu walked into the cafeteria with a cold and domineering expression.

She glanced around and many of the employees lowered their heads.

Zhou Wanqiu walked towards Su Chen’s table.

Zhang You immediately started acting.

“Su Chen, I told you to get vegetables for me, but you took this? Are you tired of living? Do you still want to sing ‘Conquer’?”

Zhang You held his head high.

“Zhang You, what are you doing!” Zhou Wanqiu’s voice sounded on cue.

“Wanqiu, we’re just teaching the newbie something!” Zhang You hurriedly said.

Su Chen found it funny.

Zhang You made an excellent double agent.

Zhou Wanqiu smiled and looked at Su Chen.

However, she did not see the humiliation and anger she was expecting.

‘This country bumpkin is too patient!’ Zhou Wanqiu thought to herself.

“Su Chen, come with me.”

Zhou Wanqiu coaxed Su Chen into a corner.

“Su Chen, I heard that they bullied you.” Zhou Wanqiu sounded concerned.

This woman was really a drama queen.

Su Chen was amused. He replied, “Nope.”

However, in Zhou Wanqiu’s eyes, Su Chen probably wanted to maintain his dignity.

Zhou Wanqiu put on a helpless expression.

“If it was someone else, I would be able to help you. But these people are nephews and nieces of the company’s higher-ups. I can’t do anything about it!”

“If they bully you too much, you can just go home and stay there.”

“We’ll talk about it if it comes to that!” Su Chen turned around and left.

Zhou Wanqiu smiled.

She walked away.

“Su Chen, why did Wanqiu want to see you? What’s your relationship with her?”

Zhang You looked like he was searching for gossip.

“Eat your food!” Su Chen ignored him.

They continued eating and chatting.

Su Chen learned a lot about Zhou’s Catering Group through them.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the cafeteria.

Zhang You put down his bowl and chopsticks and quickly ran out to take a look.

Soon, he returned and shouted, “Brothers, that shameless He Junying is here again. He’s harassing Wanqiu again!”

‘Harassing my wife?’

Su Chen was stunned.

They quickly exited the cafeteria.

Only then did he realize that the entrance of the cafeteria was filled with roses and candles.

A young man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses stood in the middle.

Opposite him stood a cold, pretty, and charming woman.

It was none other than Su Chen’s wife, Zhou Wanqiu.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes!

Wasn’t Zhou Wanqiu gay?

Why was a man trying to win her heart?

This bespectacled man had no idea what he was getting into.

“F*ck! This b*stard is at it again!” Zhang You spat.

“Who is this person?” Su Chen asked.

Zhang You quickly explained, “He Junying, son of He Zhentian, the CEO of the He Family Catering Group!”

“They’ve always been competing with us. They’ve always been getting in our way. He Junying is obsessed with Wanqiu. He has no self-awareness!”

“He goes to nightclubs every day, picks up girls, and messes around with good people. Yet, he still wants both money and social status. He’s dreaming!”

Amidst the flowers…

He Junying blocked Zhou Wanqiu’s exit.

“Wanqiu, my love for you is so abundant it can be seen from the skies!”

“Your family is in the food and beverage industry, and so is mine. Let’s join forces and take over Bin Cheng, cross the provincial capital, and go global!”

“When my family wins the bid for Tianhao Group’s new factory, I can give your family a cut.”

“Just be with me!”

Zhou Wanqiu found He Junying’s pestering disgusting.

“He Junying, I’ll be taking Tianhao Group’s new factory project. There’s no need for the He Corporation to give us a cut.”

“I know all too well why you won’t leave me alone. I’m not interested in you, nor am I interested in working with your family.”

The smile on He Junying’s face froze in place.

“Haha! You don’t care about your pride? I must be with you today!”

As he spoke, He Junying leaned toward her.
