e stared at the ceiling with wide eyes until her eyes ached. Then, she turned her head and picked up her phone from beside the pillow.10:20!Fu Xiaoyao was uncertain if Lu Hanchuan would be back tonigh...She was wearing a knee-length red long-sleeve dress, which she had spent nearly two thousand yuan to buy.

Although far less luxurious than a gown, she considered herself perfectly acceptable, conforming to standards without any issues.

“Of course not!” The secretary said with a sneer, her tone sarcastic. “It’s fine for ordinary employees, but as Lu總’s secretary, you represent the company’s image. Dressing like this at the welcome reception is not only embarrassing for us secretaries, but also for Lu總 and the company. Do you know that”

"Shameful" Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips, "I don't think I'm shameful, it's you guys..."

Her gaze fell on the business cards of the three secretaries, and she felt rather speechless.

The three of them are really dressed to impress.

"Fu Xiaoyao, what are you looking at" The secretary said, covering her chest and glaring at Fu Xiaoyao不滿.

Fu Xiaoyao retracted her gaze and smiled faintly, "I remember when Mr. Lu first arrived at the company, he said that female employees were not allowed to wear too revealing clothes. Aren't you openly defying Mr. Lu's orders now"

Hearing this, the faces of the three people froze.

Fu Xiaoyao patted her sleeve, which had just been pulled wrinkled, and continued: "As you just said, a secretary represents the image of the company. You are dressed so revealingly, how do others see it Will they think that the image of our company is vulgar"

"Fu Xiaoyao, how dare you speak to us like that"

"It was the seniors who came to me first."

"You...."

The three secretaries were quite angry, they didn't expect the usually timid "little white rabbit" to bite back.

"Fu Xiaoyao, you really are something else!" the secretary said, her eyes narrowed dangerously. She suddenly raised the glass of red wine in her hand and flung it at Fu Xiaoyao.

Fu Xiaoyao's pupils shrank, she dodged but was splashed right on. A large patch of her skirt got wet, cold and clinging to her skin uncomfortably.

"You're being too much!" she bit her lip, glaring at them angrily.

"Too much" The secretary, after handing the empty glass to someone beside her, folded her arms and gave Fu Xiaoyao a half-smile that wasn't quite a smile. "Who made you angry You haven't seen anything yet compared to what we can do."

Fu Xiaoyao clenched her hands, "I haven't offended any of you, have I"

"Who said you don't have any" The secretary's face twisted instantly, looking like a demon from hell, "Since the day you became my secretary, you offended us. Why should someone who just graduated from an ordinary university sit on equal footing with us"

It turns out it was because of jealousy!

Fu Xiaoyao tugged at her damp skirt and said irritably, “You should ask President Lu that. What use is it for me to say anything!”

She also wanted to know why Lu Hanzhen chose her to be his secretary.

Anyway, the only thing she was certain of was that it wasn't because he was her husband.

"Who knows if you used some underhanded means to get Mr. Lu to do this" the secretary sneered.

Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the anger in her heart, "I don't care about you guys, get out of my way, I need to go to the restroom."

She pushed past the people in front of her forcefully and walked through them.

The secretary who was speaking was shoved, nearly falling. After stabilizing herself, she angrily stomped her foot, "Damn it! Who pushed me! I'll get even with her. Come on, let's go over there!"

Three people followed in the direction Fu Xiaoyao left.

Shao Sian came out from the shadows holding his phone, his glasses still reflecting the light. "I captured a pretty interesting scene, I wonder what Han Chuan would think when he sees it, I'm kind of excited!"

Thinking about it, he chuckled softly and walked toward the lounge.

"Hánchuan," Shào Sīnián strode into the room, waving his phone and shouting, "Guess what I just saw"

Lu Hanchuan glanced at him indifferently, "No interest."

Shao Si Nian pretended not to hear his words, and said to himself: "I saw your wife being bullied."

"Fu Xiaoyao" Lu Hanchuan's eyes flickered.

"It's not who she is, is your wife someone else" Shao Sian feigned surprise and widened his eyes.

Lu Hanchuan ignored his childish antics, his brow furrowed as his voice turned serious. "You just said she was being bullied"

"Aren't you interested" Shao Si Nian picked up an apple and took a bite, looking at him with interest.

Lu Hanchuan's cold face instantly darkened, and a chill emanated from him.

"Stop, stop!" Seeing that he was angry, Shao Si Nian quickly put down the apple and took out his phone, tapping it a few times before handing it to him. "You'll know after you see this."

Lu Hanchuan took the phone, looked at it suspiciously, and saw that his thin lips almost formed a straight line, and the coldness in his eyes was like a layer of ice.

These women, how dare they!

Lu Hanchuan clenched his fists, "Qiao Mu!"

Jo's assistant hurried in from outside.

"Go get those gift boxes out of my car." Lu Hanchuan ordered, rising to his feet.

"Okay." Joe's assistant quickly got to work.

Lu Hanchuan threw his phone to Shao Sinián and strode towards the door.

Shao Si Nian called to him, "Han Chuan, are you going to be a hero and save the beauty"

Lu Hanchuan paused his steps, "She's considered my wife, after all."

"Looks like you care about her quite a bit." Shao Si Nian stroked his chin, his words hinting at something more.

"You're overthinking it!" Lu Hanchuan's eyes darkened, he retracted his gaze and walked out.

How could he possibly care about Fu Xiaoyao, that woman.

Shao Si Nian crunched down on his apple, a light chuckle escaping him as he muttered to himself, “Am I overthinking things, or are you just refusing to admit it…”

As soon as Lu Hanchuan stepped out of the restroom, he saw Fu Xiaoyao being held by her hair and about to be slapped.

His heart skipped a beat, his expression instantly turned grim, and he growled, "What are you doing"

Hearing his voice, the people present instantly turned pale with fright.

"Land, Land General..."

How did he come

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes widened in surprise.

Lu Hanzhen walked over with a dark face, his gloomy eyes quickly scanning her.

Seeing that she was only slightly disheveled and had no injuries, the tension in his face eased slightly before he turned his gaze to the three women who were trembling with fear. "Tell me," he asked, "what were you doing just now"

He asked again.

Three women looked at each other, unable to speak.

"Don't say you won't" Lu Hanchuan coldly narrowed his eyes, "If you don't say it, get back and write your resignation. I can't afford secretaries like you."

As soon as they heard about the possibility of being fired, the three secretaries panicked and scrambled to speak up, "Mr. Lu, we...we..."

"It's too late," Lu Hanchuan impatiently interrupted them, "Now get out of here immediately, don't make me say it a second time!"

The three of them trembled, and immediately scurried away.

Fu Xiaoyao was stunned. After a long silence, she swallowed her saliva and cautiously asked, "Hanchuan, are you really going to fire them"

"I don't need a secretary with such a cunning mind." Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips, his voice containing a hint of displeasure, "As for you, why don't you resist"

If he had been one step late, that slap would have definitely landed.

Fu Xiaoyao smoothed her somewhat disheveled hair and made a bitter face, "How can I possibly fight three of them alone It's better not to get involved."

"You're thinking quite optimistically, aren't you" Lu Hanchuan said with a hint of mockery.

Fu Xiaoyao pulled the corner of her mouth, but didn't respond.

If you don't want to open it, what can you do

She was fighting a lone battle, with no one to help her. Many times, she could only endure it.

"Come with me." Lu Hanchuan suddenly spoke.

"Where to" Fu Xiaoyao looked at him in confusion.he name Ye Lan is so familiar." Fu Xiaoyao closed her eyes. "It feels like I should know her. Hanchuan, tell me who she is Why did you bring me to meet her Is there some connection between us Or, who...
