Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 368 - 161: Couple’s Mini-Game in the Office_3

Li Yuan smirked. "Zhijin, go lock the office door from the inside."

Xia Zhijin stared blankly, her shy gaze fixed on Li Yuan as her body trembled with tension. She murmured softly, "Ah, why lock the door?"

"What do you think?" Li Yuan chuckled mischievously. Teasing Xia Zhijin today had dissipated much of the sadness and helplessness he felt about his upcoming meeting with Zhong Tingyue.

Xia Zhijin’s cheeks flushed crimson. Her beautiful eyes blinked rapidly, unaware that a crystalline layer of tears had begun to form. Though she felt wronged and anxious, Xia Zhijin still took gentle steps to the door, turned the handle, and locked it from the inside.

Then, she obediently returned to Li Yuan’s side, a deep blush spreading from her cheeks all the way down her neck. Lowering her head as if accepting her fate, she replied in a nearly inaudible voice, "The... the door is locked."

Seeing Xia Zhijin’s timid and compliant demeanor, as if she were completely at his mercy, Li Yuan chuckled to himself. This foolish girl... she never resists or gets angry with me. So naive, so innocent, so amusing.

Li Yuan fixed his gaze on her and commanded authoritatively, "Secretary Xia, come here. Sit on my lap."

"Oh!" Xia Zhijin obediently responded. Her body trembling, she approached Li Yuan and hesitantly sat down on his lap.

"Secretary Xia, you’re such a good girl," Li Yuan said, pinching her small cheek as he decided to engage in some role-playing.

A flutter of panic seized Xia Zhijin. Her heart leaped into her throat, and she shyly lowered her head. I have no idea what I’d do if he truly made such an excessive request. This is the office, and other people’s offices are right next door. If word got out, wouldn’t it affect his reputation?

With her cheeks flushed crimson, Xia Zhijin mustered her courage. Fixing her beautiful eyes on Li Yuan, she spoke softly, "Li Yuan, not here, please. Let’s go home."

Li Yuan grinned slyly and said in a serious tone, "Secretary Xia, your boss is feeling a bit unwell right now. What are you going to do?"

Xia Zhijin looked at Li Yuan bashfully. "Then... how do you want me to help you?"

Li Yuan laughed heartily and shifted her into his lap so her back was to him...

Startled, Xia Zhijin tensed up, not giving him any opening.

Li Yuan hadn’t originally intended to do anything, but at that moment, he felt a strong urge. He hugged Xia Zhijin, turned on the computer on his desk, and tried to divert her attention.

"Zhijin, it’s alright. Don’t worry about me. Go ahead and open the online banking. Just like I taught you last time, start by calculating their overtime pay so we can get it sent out."

Xia Zhijin’s heart pounded wildly. She hadn’t expected Li Yuan to be so bold as to do this right in the office. Suddenly, her eyes welled up with tears.

While guiding Xia Zhijin’s hand to show her how to access the company’s financial account, Li Yuan’s other hand wasn’t idle, letting his "little brother" out for some fresh air...

"Zhijin, there are several million in the company’s account. I’m entrusting it to you, so you need to be careful from now on..."

Xia Zhijin gasped, feeling a cool breeze from below...

"Now, I’ll teach you how to transfer funds from the company’s account. First, transfer yourself 10,000 yuan for overtime pay."

Xia Zhijin clenched her teeth, trying not to make a sound as fresh tears welled up in her beautiful eyes...

"Li... Li Yuan, I..." she choked on a sob. "I don’t want the overtime pay."

Li Yuan, meanwhile, was handling things with ease. He chuckled, "Zhijin, you’ve been working hard during overtime too. You should take care of yourself; you’ve even lost weight in some places."

Biting her lip, her body bobbing unsteadily, Xia Zhijin mumbled, "But I didn’t really help with anything."

Li Yuan took hold of her hand, entered the numbers, and clicked "Pay." Just like that, 10,000 yuan was transferred to Xia Zhijin’s personal bank account.

Li Yuan laughed. "Heh, Zhijin, see? You’re working overtime right now, and what you’re putting in is far more than anyone else."

Xia Zhijin froze for a moment. Then, as she suddenly grasped his meaning, she let out a shy exclamation, "Li Yuan, you... you’re a huge jerk!"

After leaving Li Yuan’s office, Lin Yuwei had just returned to her own when several other women crowded around her.

Zhang Manman asked curiously, "Miss Lin, what did the boss say? Did he agree to our overtime pay?"

Lin Yuwei glanced at Zhang Manman. She was the company’s graphic designer, a skilled artist who was especially fond of anime.

"Manman, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Zhang Manman’s eyes lit up. "The good news, of course."

Lin Yuwei replied calmly, "The good news is that the boss has approved the overtime pay I submitted."

"That’s great! I worked three days of overtime. Even at a base pay of 200 a day, triple pay for three days is 1,800 yuan! That’s almost half a month’s salary. How awesome!" Zhang Manman let out an excited shout, jumping up with a joyful smile plastered on her face. "I love the company! I love overtime! I love Director Li!"

"Miss Lin, what about the bad news?"

Lin Yuwei chuckled mischievously. "The bad news is, I included tomorrow as well. So, your chance to go to the comic convention is gone."

Zhang Manman’s expression instantly fell. She adored comic conventions.

Another woman, Sun Wanmei, pointed toward Li Yuan’s office, her interest in gossip flaring up as she asked curiously, "Miss Lin, Manman, do you think the boss and Secretary Xia might be getting it on in the office...?"

Lin Yuwei shot her a sharp look and said suggestively, "You really want to know? Why don’t you go press your ear against the door? Then you’ll know everything."
