Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 367 - 161: Office Couples’ Mini-Game_2
Tonight, Bai Weixi’s parents, having learned she was on a business trip, had specially remained in Modu. They wanted to invite Li Yuan to dinner today, as the Bai Tianqi couple would be returning to their hometown tomorrow. It was an invitation from his prospective in-laws, so Li Yuan found it difficult to refuse.
Li Yuan held Xia Zhijin, savoring the fragrant beauty in his arms and inhaling her enchanting scent.
Xia Zhijin’s face instantly turned blood-red, and her body couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
Seeing Xia Zhijin’s resemblance to a frightened fawn, Li Yuan laughed heartily. "Zhijin, does your body still hurt?"
"No, it doesn’t hurt," Xia Zhijin shook her head slightly, her gaze filled with fear as she spoke, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz. "Don’t... not here. Wait until we get home."
Li Yuan smiled faintly. This precious girl was just too innocent.
With a beauty in his arms, it was only natural for a man to have a physiological reaction. He had merely asked if her body still hurt, and she had completely misunderstood, thinking he wanted to devour her right here in the office.
However, Li Yuan surveyed the office. It was well-sealed, though he hadn’t tested the soundproofing yet. He had specifically used soundproofing materials during the renovation, so the effect should be pretty good. Right now, their roles in this office weren’t that of a couple. Rather, they were a boss and his female secretary. Heh heh...
He was suddenly reminded of a certain saying...
Li Yuan suddenly felt the urge to tease her again. He kissed Xia Zhijin’s glistening earlobe and said with a mischievous smile, "Zhijin, have you ever heard this saying?"
Xia Zhijin asked with a tremor in her voice, "What saying?"
Li Yuan chuckled. "’When there’s work to be done, the secretary does it...’"
"Guess what the next line is."
"What is it?" Xia Zhijin was still puzzling over the phrase when a knock suddenly came from the door.
Li Yuan coughed, letting go of Xia Zhijin. She immediately scurried away like a startled deer to the seat across from his, clutching the hem of her skirt and not daring to look up.
Li Yuan shifted slightly in his seat and cleared his throat with composure.
"Ahem, come in."
Lin Yuwei pushed the door open, documents in hand. Her gaze instinctively fell on Xia Zhijin, who was sitting opposite Li Yuan’s desk. Seeing Xia Zhijin’s flushed face and lowered head, Lin Yuwei pursed her lips to hide a smile. Realizing it was inappropriate, she quickly composed herself, walked over to Li Yuan’s side, and handed him the documents.
"Director Li, this is the summary of overtime hours for all employees during the National Day holiday. Please take a look."
Li Yuan took the documents and scanned them. Unsurprisingly, Lin Yuwei, Xie Zheng, and Hu Zhenqiang had clocked the most overtime—a whopping five days each. This was mainly because the three of them were single and, to speed up the game and website development, often worked past ten at night. Their dedication was truly impressive.
He had already checked the game’s development progress today, and it was far ahead of schedule. At this rate, the game would be fundamentally complete after the New Year and ready for internal testing and debugging. Li Yuan had enormous expectations for this game. Whether he could achieve a massive leap in wealth depended entirely on it. He had invested the most energy into this project, personally participating in the conceptual guidance for everything from King’s Canyon’s layout, settings, and Inscriptions to its heroes, Skills, and modes. Furthermore, as long as the funding requests were reasonable, he never held them back. If the game he was making became as popular as League of Legends or King’s Honor from his previous life, the profits would be in the tens of billions. When the era of smartphones arrived, he could develop a mobile version, followed by a whole series of other games like PUBG Mobile, Genshin Impact, and so on...
Li Yuan gave the document a quick glance. He was very satisfied with the game’s progress and had no intention of being stingy with overtime pay. He was trying to be a conscientious capitalist, after all.
He smiled and nodded. "Mm, approved."
After signing the document, he looked toward Xia Zhijin, who still had her head bowed.
"Secretary Xia, come and verify the names and information. Let’s get the overtime pay transferred today."
"Oh, okay, Director... Director Li." Xia Zhijin shyly took the documents. Her heart was pounding wildly, and she was gripped by the anxious fear that they had just been spied on.
Seeing this, Lin Yuwei smiled to herself, the flames of her curiosity burning brightly. She was incredibly eager to know what Li Yuan had just been doing to Xia Zhijin. But she could only suppress her curiosity because Li Yuan was the boss.
"Director Li, Secretary Xia, I’ll leave you to it." With that, Lin Yuwei hurriedly left, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.
Li Yuan had an amused look on his face. This Lin Yuwei was quite interesting, very perceptive. A pity she wasn’t his type. After being surrounded by stunning beauties like Xia Zhijin, Bai Weixi, Zhong Tingyue, and Jiang Zhiyu—all campus belles with their own unique charms—his resistance to ordinary women had greatly increased, almost to the point of immunity. It was like that classmate who sent him provocative photos on QQ every day... He had reached a level where he was completely unfazed. Perhaps only women of special significance could stir a sense of anticipation in him, like his instructor, Qi Siyu. She could be a potential NPC. He still savored the memory of their chance encounter in the office building from time to time...
Li Yuan beckoned to Xia Zhijin.
Xia Zhijin obediently shuffled over and stood beside him like a wronged little wife, awaiting his judgment.
