Just then, Qian Heng called Cheng Yao, who was preparing to return to her room, “I’m used to having some fruit an hour after dinner.”
“Oh, I bought some apples, kiwis and bananas. They are in the kitchen. So you can eat as you please.”
But Qian Heng didn’t move, “Oh, I’ve been talking to you for so long. I’m thirsty.”
Cheng Yao stared at Qian Heng with her eyes wide open. She paused, then tentatively asked, “What you’re implying is not what I am thinking right?”
“I’m implying exactly what you’re thinking. Qian Heng looked back at her without any shame, “I’m tired and I can’t walk anymore.”
This friend, it only takes a dozen steps to reach the kitchen from the dining table. It would only take a few steps with your height and long legs! I’m already giving you the fruits I bought, but you also expect me to cut it up and feed it to your mouth! Didn’t you just say, don’t always reach out to others for your work?! Is it really okay to have such obvious double standards!
Just as Cheng Yao was slandering him inside her heart, Qian Heng’s demonic voice rang again.
“Do you want me to ask you again?”
Well, good, good, you’re the boss,..so you have the final say!
Cheng Yao didn’t argue at all. She immediately went to the kitchen and cut the fruits neatly for Qian Heng. Ah, Qian Heng was right. Now it’s all about ‘green economy’, so Cheng Yao decided to also take the path of sustainable development.
She decided to treat her boss better in the future, just like depositing in a savings account. Sooner or later, with such small deposits, she should be able to get a larger return from Qian Heng!

With Qian Heng’s guidance, Cheng Yao kept an open mindset at work. She began to look up for the relevant legal knowledge about the VIE.
She was so focused that she didn’t even notice that the other partner, Wu Jun had returned to the office.
“Partner Wu just now walked past you. He stopped when he walked to your desk. You didn’t notice it at all?” Tan Ying leaned close to Cheng Yao and whispered, “Today Partner Wu is wearing the Land of Hermes. From this taste, it means he is not under any pressure… ”
Wu Jun did not stay in the large office as usual. Because he did not have a team and never assigned jobs or trained people. He had a pair of pretty peach-blossom eyes. Although he was not as handsome as Qian Heng, he was very witty and playful and had good relationships with everyone. So he was very popular in the law firm. He walked straight into Qian Heng’s office.
“Knock on the door before you enter.”
For even Wu Jun, Qian Heng had no separate way of speaking.
“Do friends still need to knock on the door? We are after all friends who have slept together. I sent you so many text messages, but you didn’t reply to even one. Although you don’t love me, I still love you very much. Look, I even brought you a chocolate specially made in Belgium.”
Qian Heng coldly watched him put down the chocolate. Wu Jun had long been accustomed to Qian Heng’s character. After he finished speaking, he didn’t even mind it. He smiled and dragged a chair, and sat directly opposite Qian Heng, “Cheng Yao, I saw her.”
Qian Heng raised his head up and snorted coldly, “This is why you sent me ‘I miss you, do you miss me’? Huh.”
“I was very curious about Cheng Xi’s sister, so I just wanted to take a look. Even though her beauty is different from Cheng Xi’s style of intellectual beauty, she’s really beautiful.” Wu Jun smiled, “She has a feel of a femme fatal, but fortunately she is not aware about it. Just imagine if she comes to office dressed up well, I’m afraid there will be a rage of testosterone in our office.”
“I haven’t thought of her like that. I think she just looks okay.”
“This is the first time you have rated someone ‘okay‘.” Wu Jun smiled meaningfully, “So is that why you put her in your team?”
Qian Heng put down the documents in his hand, “Of course I have to put people who have special connections with you in my team to take care of them.”
Wu Jun calmly stood up and said, “Chengxi requested me to take care of her. Although her sister’s resume is not particularly good, it’s also not bad, so I just helped her. After all, she’s my junior schoolmate’s younger sister.”
Qian Heng hummed and said, “Are you really helping? I don’t know about your selfish interests. But why doesn’t Cheng Yao know that she has come though the back door?”
“Cheng Xi didn’t want to hurt her confidence. She wanted to make her feel that she got into Jun Heng with her own capabilities. So she asked me to keep it a secret.”
Qian Heng pursed his lips,” You know how much I hate people who come through the back door.”
Wu Jun played with the decorations on Qian Heng’s desk and changed the subject: “I heard that you let Cheng Yao work on finding clues about Xu Jun and Bai Xingmeng’s divorce case? For a professional, it’s very easy to tell at a glance where the problem is, but it will be very difficult for a newcomer to check it, not to mention that she has just joined the job.”
“It is precisely because she has just joined the job that she was asked to check it.”
“Huh? “
“If the probationary period is opened like this, the financial compensation paid will be relatively small.”
“…” Wu Jun was speechless, “Such a beautiful girl, how attractive and innocent she is! Why are you targeting such a girl?”
“I don’t raise vases.” Qian Heng said coldly, “Before today, she couldn’t even understand the meaning of VIE and find the direction of the current case. I almost fired her on the grounds of being incompetent for the job.”
“You didn’t give her any clue or instructions?”
Qian Heng was stunned. He thought of the ‘preferential treatment’ he gave to Cheng Yao last night, but he still denied it with an indifferent face.
“No.”
“Qian Heng, you are so cruel, be careful or you won’t be able to find a female partner for yourself even when your sperms get old. “
Qian Heng pursed his lips: “I don’t want to get married, and I don’t like children.”
“That’s just an excuse for not being able to find someone for yourself!”
“Wu Jun, you…”
However, before he could finish speaking, Qian Heng was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.
Before Qian Heng could react, Cheng Yao appeared at the door, with an uncontrollable excitement on her face, which made her bright black eyes glow. Qian Heng could only look at her stupefied. He glanced at her face and turned his head subconsciously.
At that moment, only the words “femme fatal” flashed in his mind.
