That night, the lights in the chairman’s office of Qin Yun Tiancheng remained brightly lit.
Several female employees working overtime whispered among themselves as they passed by.
“CEO Qin seems different today.”
“He’s not just insanely handsome.”
“He’s even been working in his office until this late.”
“Handsome and capable!”
“I heard CEO Qin and CEO Jiang had some kind of falling-out. It seems like they broke up. CEO Jiang even returned all the gifts he’d given her before.”
“If CEO Qin ever fell for me…”
Merely imagining it made several of the female employees instinctively squeeze their thighs together.
They lingered outside the office for quite a while, deliberately showing off their figures, yet failed to attract even a glance from Qin Ge.
Disappointed, they clocked out and left.
As the lights outside gradually went dark, Qin Ge remained hunched over the desk, unable to stop himself from cursing, “Just how damn obsessive was this guy? A hard drive with over 1,000 GB of storage, and it’s completely filled with secretly taken photos of Jiang Yingxue?”
More importantly, she was fully covered in every single photo.
What the hell was the point of looking at pictures like these?
At first, Qin Ge had merely been deleting the photos one by one. Eventually, he gave up and formatted the entire drive.
He had completely abandoned the idea of searching his predecessor’s computer for clues about the plotline.
His predecessor had simply been a complete idiot whose brain was consumed by romance.
His computer was exactly the same.
There wasn’t a single piece of useful information inside.
Suddenly, Qin Ge’s ears twitched slightly as he caught an almost imperceptible sound.
This was the enhanced hearing and eyesight granted by the Divine Ability, Survival Instinct Sacred Physique.
“Didn’t everyone already leave work?”
“Don’t tell me a thief actually managed to sneak into the company?”
Qin Ge looked toward the pitch-black office area outside, and the corner of his mouth slowly curled upward.
He rose from his seat, quietly opened the office door, and silently walked toward the source of the faint noise.
In the snack area, beneath the dim lighting, stood a refrigerated display cabinet filled with freshly baked cakes and pastries.
In front of it was a girl wearing a little white dress with an oversized suit jacket draped over her shoulders. Even the loose jacket couldn’t conceal her slender figure.
She cautiously opened the refrigerated cabinet.
Moving quickly, she grabbed several croissants and hurriedly stuffed them into her clothes, as though terrified that someone might see her. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
Suddenly, a strong, powerful hand firmly seized the fair wrist she had stretched out once again.
Qin Ge frowned. Under the dim lights of the snack area, the smile on his face grew increasingly wicked as he asked, “Stealing something!?”
Lin Xiaojin turned around.
The instant she saw Qin Ge, her heart sank.
She had been caught red-handed stealing pastries by the chairman of the company.
There went any hope of becoming a permanent employee.
She was definitely going to be fired!
Lin Xiaojin hurriedly pleaded, “CEO Qin, please let me explain.”
“Explain? What’s there to explain?” Qin Ge picked up the employee badge in front of Lin Xiaojin and read it. “An intern in the operations and maintenance department, Lin Xiaojin? There are only three days left until the end of your three-month probationary period.”
“You haven’t even become a permanent employee yet, and you’re already thinking about stealing the company’s pastries.”
“Once you become permanent, won’t you start lining your pockets with the company’s money?”
Looking at the terrified Lin Xiaojin before him, Qin Ge could barely contain his amusement.
He had wasted all that time deleting photos at the company, yet somehow managed to catch a Favored Daughter of Destiny stealing something?
What kind of ridiculous coincidence was this?
His luck was simply too damn good!
If Jiang Yingxue was the woman Chen Yuan, the peerless expert who had descended from the mountain, fell in love with at first sight, then Lin Xiaojin was Chen Yuan’s childhood sweetheart, the pure and unattainable first love forever etched into his heart!
She was someone Chen Yuan had always dreamed of having.
Even Qin Ge hadn’t expected Lin Xiaojin to currently be working as an intern at his company.
“CEO Qin, I’m hungry. I only wanted to take some pastries from the snack area and bring them home to eat.” Lin Xiaojin pursed her lips aggrievedly.
However, Qin Ge kept a stern expression as he replied, “The snack area is a benefit provided to the company’s permanent employees. You’re only an intern. What gives you the right to enjoy that benefit?”
“Stealing is stealing, yet you still refuse to admit it?”
“If you genuinely thought you were doing nothing wrong, why did you wait until all the other employees had left before sneaking in here?”
Lin Xiaojin felt both guilty and deeply wronged.
In the past, the senior employees at the company had even taken the initiative to offer her pastries.
She simply thought the pastries tasted delicious and wanted to bring some home to share with her mother.
She had never seen any employees taking snacks home after work, so she had deliberately waited until everyone else had left before sneaking over to take some.
Who could have imagined that CEO Qin would catch her?
She had long heard rumors that CEO Qin was temperamental and unpredictable.
Whenever CEO Jiang smiled at him, CEO Qin would remain cheerful for the entire day.
Whenever CEO Jiang became angry, every employee in Weixue Group would spend the entire day barely daring to breathe too loudly.
Today, she had heard that CEO Jiang and CEO Qin had broken up. CEO Jiang had even returned every gift Qin Ge had previously given her.
CEO Qin must be furious right now. Read this novel at novelping.com for the best experience.
And of all possible times, Lin Xiaojin had been caught by him tonight.
Her luck was simply terrible!
“CEO Qin, I’m sorry. I know I was wrong. I won’t take the pastries anymore.”
Lin Xiaojin held several croissants in both hands and presented them all to Qin Ge.
Qin Ge glanced at them, “Only five croissants?”
Lin Xiaojin timidly nodded.
Qin Ge pointed toward her oversized suit jacket, “Then what are you hiding under there that makes the front of your clothes bulge out like that?”
He reached out and grabbed twice before saying irritably, “You think I won’t notice just because you hid cream puffs inside your dress?”
Still holding the croissants, Lin Xiaojin instinctively raised her arms to shield her chest. Her small head lowered in unbearable embarrassment as she said aggrievedly, “CEO Qin, those aren’t cream puffs!”
Lin Xiaojin’s voice trembled slightly, already carrying the beginnings of a sob.
Qin Ge’s expression grew even colder, “You’re the one who stole something, yet somehow you’re the one feeling wronged?”
“Fine. I’ll call the police!”
“You’re an employee stealing from your own workplace. That makes it even worse.”
Lin Xiaojin hurriedly shook her head. She quickly put all the croissants back into the refrigerated cabinet and begged, “CEO Qin, please don’t call the police. I’ll give them back. I’ll return everything, okay?”
Qin Ge smiled, “According to your logic, stealing something is fine as long as you return it afterward. So if a rapist pulls out midway, does that mean it no longer counts as rape?”
