The Ming Corporation was the leading AI technology giant in A City. Every graduation season, countless university students fought desperately for a chance to get in. The reasons were simple: excellent benefits, high salaries, and prestige.
This year, however, there was one more reason people wanted to join Ming Corporation: the Crown Prince of the Ming Family had officially entered the company and had been appointed Director of the Administrative Department.
Rumor had it that Young President Ming was gentle, courteous, and extraordinarily handsome. He had even been crowned A University’s School Heartthrob for three consecutive years.
But rumors were just rumors. With modern technology being so advanced, not only photos but even videos could be edited. Most people dismissed it as a publicity gimmick.
That was until the day he officially joined the company and appeared before all the employees.
The young man had black hair, pale skin, and features so refined that he looked as though he had stepped out of a painting.
Despite possessing such a beautiful face, he remained polite and gentlemanly, without the slightest trace of the arrogance often associated with wealthy heirs.
For a period afterward, Ming Corporation’s social media accounts became unusually lively.
Many employees voluntarily flooded the internet with praise, boasting that Young President Ming was handsome, had a great figure, and looked even better than celebrities. Some even claimed that working under such a boss would make them willing to labor like beasts of burden without complaint.
The grassroots publicity worked immediately.
The number of fresh graduates submitting resumes to Ming Corporation skyrocketed, bringing a huge wave of new talent into the company.
Among these newcomers, most had come specifically because of Ming Jing.
The newly hired interns fantasized about romantic encounters with him in elevators. Even ordinary office workers started showing up to work wearing makeup every day, hoping to look prettier if they happened to run into him.
After all, if they somehow caught his eye, they might become the future lady boss of the corporation.
For a time, a silent competition spread throughout the company. Ming Corporation resembled a beauty pageant, where even random employees passing by were dressed in full, meticulous makeup.
“Hello, where do I go to complete onboarding?”
Xiao Zhang was the receptionist. She had always been a diligent employee, but recently she too had been swept up by the company’s beauty craze and started dressing herself up.
Without even looking up, she carefully applied lipstick while answering, “Only two departments are hiring interns right now. Are you from the Design Department or the R&D Department?”
The voice above her head fell silent for two seconds.
“Janitorial.”
Xiao Zhang’s hand trembled.
The berry-colored lipstick nearly ended up on her cheek.
She instinctively looked up.
The moment she saw the newcomer, two emotions flashed through her eyes.
The first was amazement.
The second was relief.
The girl before her was stunning beyond reason. Her black hair and dark eyes, combined with her cool, ethereal beauty, made her seem almost unreal. When those indifferent eyes landed on Xiao Zhang, even she, as a woman, felt her heartbeat quicken uncontrollably.
Xiao Zhang was relieved that the girl had come to apply as a cleaner.
If she had been applying for a receptionist position, every receptionist in the company would probably be facing unemployment.
Wait…
What position had she said she was applying for?
Seeing Xiao Zhang staring blankly at her, Xiao Yao assumed she hadn’t heard clearly and patiently repeated herself.
“Hello, where do I go to start work as a cleaner?”
The moment Xiao Yao received Ming Tang’s message informing her that the position arranged for her was janitorial work, she had instantly wanted to quit.
Then she received a massive bank transfer.
After counting the zeros several times, Xiao Yao silently slipped her phone back into her pocket.
Well.
Actually, being a cleaner was quite meaningful work.
The onboarding process for cleaners was extremely simple. The receptionist quickly arranged for someone to bring Xiao Yao to collect her uniform.
She had expected it to be ugly and unfashionable.
Instead, thanks to her fair skin, excellent proportions, and naturally aloof temperament, she somehow managed to make the janitor’s uniform look stylish.
Standing among a group of middle-aged cleaning ladies, she stood out like a fresh green onion.
Along with the uniform came her tools of the trade.
Ahem.
Her cleaning tools.
A broom.
A dustpan.
A rag.
Thus began Xiao Yao’s career as a double agent.
As an outstanding villainous cannon fodder, she firmly believed in loving whatever profession she entered.
If she wanted to gain the target’s trust, she first had to deceive herself.
Sweep here.
Mop there.
Wipe above.
Wash below.
…
Xiao Yao worked diligently, treating the company as though it were her own home. Every day she worked until her back ached and her waist felt ready to break.
Yet after an entire week, the Male Lead had not shown his face even once.
Many of the office workers who had been waking up early every morning to put on makeup finally gave up and reverted to their original selves.
Forget it.
Being the future boss’s wife wasn’t worth all this effort.
After returning home that day, Jiang Yue organized and edited the contents of the flash drive before uploading everything to Weibo, accompanied by a lengthy account of her personal experience.
As a wealthy and attractive young woman who frequently posted selfies and lifestyle content, she had already accumulated a respectable following.
The moment the post went live, it caused an uproar online.
Many women with similar experiences left comments under her post. Some internet users even dug through her older posts and uncovered the true identity of her boyfriend.
Soon, the topic:
#Top A University Student Secretly Bottoming Behind His Girlfriend’s Back
became a widely discussed trending topic.
Faced with mounting public pressure, A University’s official account was forced to issue a statement:
The student involved has been expelled.
A University welcomes talented individuals, but places equal importance on character and personal integrity. The university will treat this incident as a lesson and will firmly prevent similar misconduct in order to maintain a positive academic environment.
After a period of discussion and sighing from netizens, public interest gradually faded and shifted toward newer controversies.
Ming Jing only taught the public elective course at A University once a week.
After Liang Yu withdrew from school, he never saw Xiao Yao again.
Coincidentally, the professor responsible for that course returned early from overseas academic training.
So early one morning, Ming Jing returned to work at the company.
Ming Corporation.
Today, Xiao Yao arrived thirty minutes late.
Fortunately, cleaners did not need to clock in, and their schedules were relatively flexible.
The moment she stepped through the entrance, she sensed something unusual about the atmosphere.
There were very few people in the first-floor lobby.
Large numbers of employees were excitedly pouring into the elevators.
Although Xiao Zhang remained at the reception desk, her gaze kept drifting toward the elevators.
Xiao Yao walked over.
“What’s going on today?”
Hearing her question, Xiao Zhang turned around with a mournful expression.
“You don’t know? Young President Ming is back. I heard he’s personally inspecting every floor right now. Everyone’s gone back to touch up their makeup—uh, I mean, to prepare.”
Why did receptionists never get to participate in things like this?
Ming Jing was back?
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yao immediately turned and ran toward the elevators.
“Hey! Xiao Yao, you’ve betrayed me too… Waaaah…”
After learning that the Male Lead was currently inspecting the fifteenth floor, Xiao Yao sprinted to the janitorial room on the sixteenth floor to change into her uniform.
After putting it on, she examined herself in the mirror.
She deliberately unfastened one button at her collar.
“So hot.”
The system immediately appeared to pour cold water on her enthusiasm.
“Stop wasting your effort. Do you really think the Male Lead can still be seduced by you? Don’t forget, you rejected him mercilessly before.”
Playing dumb, Xiao Yao replied,
“What are you talking about? I only need to gather evidence of his scandals. Why would I seduce the Male Lead?”
The system sneered.
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning. Ming Tang arranged for you to enter the company because he wants you to seduce Ming Jing. I refuse to believe you haven’t figured that out.”
“So what if I have?”
Xiao Yao stopped pretending.
She raised her eyes to look at her reflection.
The dark green work uniform wrapped around her body, making her already fair skin appear even whiter.
The design itself was ordinary, but it could not conceal her graceful curves.
Especially the glimpse of snowy skin exposed at her collar.
It was breathtakingly beautiful, pure yet alluring, so dazzling that merely looking at it felt like a kind of desecration.
She smiled softly.
Like ice melting beneath spring sunlight.
No boss disliked an employee who worked hard.
Although Xiao Yao had previously rejected him.
And slapped him.
She firmly believed the Male Lead was not a petty person.
Considering how hard she worked for the company every day, surely he would forgive her…
Right?
After convincing herself, Xiao Yao immediately began acting.
After striking a pose and ensuring that Ming Jing would see her the moment he stepped out of the elevator, she started energetically cleaning a glass window.
Wipe the glass.
Wipe, wipe, wipe the glass.
Wipe the glass.
Wipe, wipe, wipe the glass.
…
“There are certainly a lot of beautiful female employees in Ming Corporation,” one executive joked to the young man surrounded by a crowd inside the elevator.
“All along the way, countless girls couldn’t take their eyes off you.”
The young man smiled politely but did not respond.
“I wonder what kind of woman could possibly catch your interest…”
The floor indicator changed from 15 to 16.
The elevator doors slowly opened.
A figure dressed in dark green stood by the window, looking as though she might topple over at any moment.
The sight entered Ming Jing’s field of vision.
Hearing the sound, the figure turned her head.
Half of a snow-white face was revealed.
Ming Jing’s pupils contracted sharply.
