With the 'huge figure' in front of her blocking the limited sunlight, Dai Muxue slowly raised her head and looked at Xiao Sheng's honest and simple smile. She leaned back warily, covering the white shirt under her professional attire with one hand, deeply afraid that he would take the opportunity to peek at something! This country bumpkin really had no intention of looking at the woman's nearly bursting bosom. He asked in a gentle voice:

"Sister Dai, who was that young man who just went in? He was so arrogant, he just pushed the door open after nodding!"

Hearing Xiao Sheng's question, Dai Muxue smiled contemptuously at him and then said:

"He is Liu Hanming, the only son of Mr. Liu, the CEO of Huaxin Group, and now the vice president of our company's marketing department. He is young and talented." As she said this, Dai Muxue's voice was exaggerated and full of intonation!

"No, the way you say it, it sounds like you two have something going on..."

"You..."

"Alright, no more jokes. Why is he so arrogant, not even knocking before entering?" Hearing this, Dai Muxue's face darkened slightly. She raised her eyes slightly, not wanting to gossip, but Xiao Sheng's gaze was too intense, forcing her to answer softly:

"Arrogant? Compared to his father, he's not even that arrogant..." When women start gossiping, even gods can't stop their tongues. Xiao Sheng pulled a chair and sat next to Dai Muxue, listening carefully to this unsatisfied woman as she spoke at length!

Liu Hanming is the only son of Liu Jiming, the second-largest shareholder of Huaxin. There's no need to mention his wealth! Ever since Chen Shuyuan took over Huaxin from her mother three years ago, this old hand in the business world has been constantly squeezing Chen Shuyuan. The Liu family, holding 25% of Huaxin's shares, is only 5% less than what Chen Shuyuan holds. With the real estate industry, Huaxin's main business, being continuously restricted in the past year, the Liu family has taken the opportunity to incite other shareholders, creating a situation that seems to be forcing Chen Shuyuan out. Fortunately, many of Huaxin's old shareholders, who had fought alongside Chen's mother, still support Chen Shuyuan. However, as time passed, their relationships have become more distant. As a result, Liu Jiming, who holds the initiative, has become extremely arrogant in Huaxin's shareholder meetings. Even in daily matters, for the sake of Huaxin's internal stability, Chen Shuyuan often tolerates things, which has only fueled the other party's arrogance!

Liu Hanming's intentions towards Chen Shuyuan are well-known throughout Huaxin, like the proverbial "Machiavellian intentions." If the Liu family's eldest son could trick Chen Shuyuan into bed and marry her, the Liu family would naturally become the true rulers of Huaxin! Of course, Liu Hanming's admiration for Chen Shuyuan has some political undertones, but it's not impossible that he genuinely likes her. With Chen Shuyuan's appearance, any man would be drawn to her!

Sending flowers has become a daily routine for Liu Hanming. His occasional verbal pressure has made this beautiful CEO retreat. As Chen Shuyuan's personal assistant, Dai Muxue, who has "Chen Shuyuan" written on her forehead, naturally has no good impression of this extremely promiscuous playboy.

After listening to Dai Muxue's explanation, Xiao Sheng had a general understanding of the entire Huaxin. It turns out that this beautiful CEO is not as glamorous as she seems. Internal strife is a common occurrence in Chinese workplaces. Just as Dai Muxue and Xiao Sheng were whispering, they heard Chen Shuyuan's angry rebuke from inside the office:

"Vice President Liu, please be mindful of your position..."

Hearing this, Dai Muxue's face darkened, and she muttered something. Xiao Sheng slowly stood up, a calm smile on his face, and said to Dai Muxue:

"Sister Dai, as Chen Shuyuan's personal security, shouldn't I go in and drive this damn fly away now?"

Hearing this, Dai Muxue's mouth opened slightly, her eyes fixed on Xiao Sheng, and she answered softly:

"You're crazy, he is..."

"But what if I succeed? How about we make a bet?"

"A bet? What kind of bet?" As she spoke, Dai Muxue pulled at the corners of her eyes, looking at Xiao Sheng anxiously.

"If I lose, I'll willingly be your errand boy. But if I win, I get to touch you..."

"No..." Just as Dai Muxue said this, the noise inside the office grew louder. Concerned for her boss, Dai Muxue stood up suddenly, looking at the closed door and then at Xiao Sheng, gritting her teeth:

"Touch my hand at most..."

"Your face, I'm more interested in your alluring face..." With that, Xiao Sheng, with a half-smile, straightened his suit, imitating Liu Hanming's arrogance, and pushed the door open without knocking.

Liu Hanming's arrogance comes from the financial and human support his father provides. As a well-known playboy in Huaxin, Liu Hanming has the capital to be arrogant. Since the first day Chen Shuyuan sat next to her mother and entered Huaxin, Liu Hanming has been drooling over her. However, at that time, Chen's mother was still in a strong position. But as Chen Shuyuan took over and her mother retired abroad, Liu Jiming, who was increasingly taking the initiative, began to encourage his son to pursue Chen Shuyuan. Although the Liu family now holds the upper hand, many of Huaxin's old shareholders and Chen's mother have a special relationship, which is the main reason Liu Jiming dares not act rashly. But if his son could get her, the situation would be different. He could take over Huaxin smoothly without any objections.

Liu Hanming, leaning close to Chen Shuyuan's chair, looked at her with sincere eyes, leaning forward and gazing at her angrily standing there, murmuring:

"Shuyuan, my feelings for you are as clear as the sun and the moon. Don't you understand?"

"Sorry, Vice President Liu, I believe you know that I am engaged..."

"An arranged marriage? You haven't even met your fiancé. Who knows what he looks like, maybe a beggar or a deformed person?"

"Liu Hanming, please don't go too far. Even if he is a dwarf, he is still my man, Chen Shuyuan's man." Hearing this, Liu Hanming's face clearly showed a lack of patience. He reached out his hands to grab her, but at that moment, Xiao Sheng suddenly pushed the door open with great force, scaring him into quickly retracting his hand.

"What are you doing? What are you looking at by the window?" Xiao Sheng, with a furious expression, pointed at the windowsill and shouted.

Liu Hanming, standing to the side, his face dark, looked at Xiao Sheng's clumsy performance and said coldly:

"This is the 28th floor. I think it's hard for anyone to be looking out the window on the 28th floor, except for Spider-Man and Superman..."
