Shen Kai was dressed in a casual outfit today. He wore sunglasses on his head and looked sunny and handsome.

If it wasn’t for their encounter last night, Chu Yi would have treated him as a pure and sunny young man.

“Chu Yi? What a coincidence,” Shen Kai said, pretending to be very familiar with her.

“Young Master Shen, you’re too polite. How can you say it’s a coincidence that you came to the Song Corporation to see me?” Chu Yi replied, implying that Shen Kai was just making small talk.

“Well, that means we have fate,” Shen Kai winked at Chu Yi. “By the way, where is Song Ting? I have something to discuss with him. Let’s catch up later.”

Chu Yi was a bit speechless, but she still led him to Song Ting’s office with a professional smile.

Meanwhile, some female colleagues who saw Chu Yi and Shen Kai started to gossip.

“Isn’t that Shen Kai from the Shen family? Chu Yi knows him?”

“You mean the Shen Kai who changes female celebrities every three months? No way!”

“Yes, that’s him! Didn’t he get caught entering and leaving a hotel with a member of a girl group two days ago? Why was he here to look for Chu Yi?”

“Do you think Chu Yi…”

A few colleagues were talking and speculating, and they came up with a whole storyline.

Yan Yun, who was present, defended her good friend, “Don’t talk nonsense. Chu Yi has never been that kind of person.”

“What do you mean she’s not that kind of person? You can’t judge someone’s character by their appearance,” Liu Sheng said and walked over from somewhere. “Some people are just scheming. Otherwise, how could she become the CEO’s secretary? You’re close to her, yet you’re still just a lowly staff in the planning department.”

“Don’t talk nonsense here. Chu Yi became the CEO’s secretary based on her abilities. Don’t be jealous just because you can’t get the secretary position,” Yan Yun couldn’t tolerate Liu Sheng’s attitude and immediately retorted.

Seeing Yan Yun refuting him just like Chu Yi, Liu Sheng was extremely angry and said, “Yes, being beautiful, having a good figure, and being ‘capable’ is also a kind of strength, especially being ‘capable’, right?”

Liu Sheng intentionally emphasized the word ‘capable’, and the female colleagues beside him couldn’t help but smirk.

Yan Yun couldn’t refute Liu Sheng, so she turned around and left angrily.

Seeing that everyone around him was laughing, especially the female colleagues who had a look of disdain on their faces, Liu Sheng felt pleased.

Thinking of Shen Kai’s attitude towards Chu Yi earlier, Liu Sheng’s eyes lit up and he suddenly had an idea, “Let’s see if you can still be a secretary!”

Chu Yi was organizing conference materials when she heard Shen Kai’s voice above her head.

“Hey, beautiful. It’s already after work hours. Do you want me to give you a ride home?”

Chu Yi refused without even raising her head, “I’m sorry, I still need to organize tomorrow’s meeting.”

However, Shen Kai sat down directly next to Chu Yi and said, “Chu Yi, you’re too cold to me. Do you understand the principle that all visitors are guests?”

Shen Kai got very close to Chu Yi, and she felt a little uncomfortable, so she moved her chair to the side.

Chu Yi did not expect Shen Kai to take advantage of this situation. He leaned his chair against Chu Yi’s and moved it closer. “Why are you avoiding me? Do you have a boyfriend? You’re so beautiful, I’m afraid no one will dare to chase you. Why don’t we…”

Just as Shen Kai was about to get even closer, Chu Yi stood up abruptly. “President.”

Shen Kai lost his balance and fell onto Chu Yi’s seat.

No matter how Song Ting looked at Shen Kai, he felt embarrassed. “If you are so idle, I’ll give your father a call later and ask him to send you to Africa to develop a project.”

“Haha,” Shen Kai rubbed his injured arm. “Come on, Song Ting, don’t be like that. I was just joking around with your secretary.”

Chu Yi had goosebumps when she heard Shen Kai’s voice.

“You can get off work now,” Song Ting said, glancing at Chu Yi.

Chu Yi finally put on a smile and quickly packed her things.

“I’ll send you, I’ll send you,” Shen Kai said and followed her into the elevator.

Chu Yi ignored him and moved to the corner.

Shen Kai was still unwilling to give up and asked, “Do you have a boyfriend? You’re so pretty, it’s not safe for you to go home alone.”

Chu Yi calmly responded, “Young Master Shen, I’m already married. Please don’t waste your time on me.”

“What? When did you get married? Don’t lie to me,” Shen Kai said and had a look of disbelief.

Chu Yi gave him a look that said, “Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

When Shen Kai saw a man waving at Chu Yi and Chu Yi getting into a Volkswagen, he finally believed that Chu Yi had a husband.

Shen Kai sighed, “Why are all the good girls married?”
