"The reason I want you to leave work later than me is to prevent you from tidying up the office while I'm working. I don't want you to disturb me, understand?" Huangfu Yan's voice was unyielding.
"Y-yes, I understand," Qiao Xiaoluan replied, but immediately felt something was off. How did his imposing presence manage to suppress her?
This man had a way of commanding respect without raising his voice, reminiscent of her grandfather. Just a raised eyebrow could send a shiver down her spine. Yet, she refused to back down and weakly protested, "But General Manager Ji never had such rules..."
"Who are you working for now?" Huangfu Yan's eyes suddenly sparkled with intensity.
"General Manager Huangfu," Qiao Xiaoluan answered in a hushed tone.
"That's good enough. I hope you won't need reminders for these simple principles in the future."
Seeing Qiao Xiaoluan's displeased expression, Huangfu Yan lightly tapped the table and continued, "Old Qiao said not to consider his face; Miss Qiao should not hold any hopes. I won't let Old Qiao down."
So he knew about her background! Using her grandfather against her made Qiao Xiaoluan seethe with resentment; he was ruthless!
As she angrily stormed out with a water bucket in hand, Huangfu Yan's cold voice called out again, "By the way, if you're trying to seduce me, wearing less clothing won't suffice."
Qiao Xiaoluan stumbled slightly, nearly falling over. How could this knee-length skirt be considered revealing?
"General Manager, I have no intention of seducing you," she defended herself, feeling somewhat wronged.
Huangfu Yan's gaze deepened, as if some complex emotion floated through the air between them.
In such an ambiguous and tense atmosphere, it wasn't unreasonable for Qiao Xiaoluan to misinterpret things. Stammering and in disbelief, she asked, "You want... me to seduce you?"
Qiao Xiaoluan suddenly felt as if she were lifting a stone only to drop it on her own foot.
She was so charming and delightful that just watching her eat made one feel more appetized, and her presence at work seemed to boost efficiency. Even while driving, looking at her was a pleasure; there was nothing about her that felt out of place. How could anyone possibly feel unhappy in her company?
She truly couldn't understand what she had done to offend the newly appointed General Manager.
In truth, Qiao Xiaoluan was a bit afraid of Huangfu Yan.
Recently, Huangfu Yan's name had frequently popped up in her grandfather's conversations. Each time her grandfather mentioned him, his words were filled with praise, as if this young man were a model of ambition and progress. If this model citizen spoke ill of her in front of her grandfather, she would have little room to defend herself.
To avoid giving Huangfu Yan any leverage against her, Qiao Xiaoluan performed her duties as a cleaner with utmost diligence.
If Huangfu Yan worked late until nine o'clock, she would definitely not leave before that time. Of course, she wouldn’t just sit idly; Young Lady Qiao had a wide network, and there were plenty of people willing to chat on the phone with her for hours.
However, the rumors about Huangfu Yan working until the early hours did come true.
Having learned from her previous experience, Qiao Xiaoluan dared not leave without permission. After finishing all the tasks she could in the workspace, she unknowingly fell asleep.
In her dream, she saw Huangfu Yan dressed in the attire of the Qiao Family Mansion staff, bowing and following behind her, ready to take her orders.
Qiao Xiaoluan was quite pleased with this dream; a smile crept onto her lips as she chuckled softly.
Suddenly, Qiao Xiaoluan opened her eyes to find Huangfu Yan leaning close to her, gazing intently at her. His eyes were gentle, his eyelashes long, and his skin flawless. Startled, Qiao Xiaoluan let out a scream and tumbled off the sofa.
Huangfu Yan's expression grew increasingly grim. "Qiao Xiaoluan, let's play a game."
"Ah?" Qiao Xiaoluan was momentarily taken aback. What kind of game? A handkerchief toss? Eagle catching chicks? She simply couldn't keep up with the speed at which this general manager changed topics.
"You need to seduce me."
Qiao Xiaoluan froze instantly. Hearing the word "seduce" from Huangfu Yan again made her question his intentions.
She thought to herself, is Huangfu Yan, who is attracted to Ji Shuxuan, testing my sexual orientation? He must be in turmoil right now, but what does that have to do with me? Why should I sacrifice my charm for him?
"What’s the benefit of seducing you?" Qiao Xiaoluan asked.
He replied, "If you succeed, I will treat you like Ji Shuxuan does."
Qiao Xiaoluan's eyes lit up. "So, I get to enjoy eating, drinking, and playing under the guise of work every day? You’ll speak well of me in front of Grandpa? No matter what trouble I cause, you'll cover for me? You’ll be at my beck and call? And take me along for all the fun?"
Huangfu Yan's face darkened. Qiao Xiaoluan, sensing his mood, playfully patted his chest. "Hehehe, it's a deal! You just need to fulfill the first two conditions."
However, after their agreement took effect, Qiao Xiaoluan quickly came to her senses. She had never actually seduced a man before. To what extent did she need to go to be considered successful?
As the saying goes, money makes things easier. After consulting a well-known Flirtation Master, Qiao Xiaoluan gained a clearer understanding of what "seduction" truly entailed.
