Subordinates Are Not Allowed to Kiss Their Boss

On Saturday, Jiang Linyuan arrived at the cafe address sent by Shen Wanyu at the agreed-upon time.

It was still early, and the shop was deserted with hardly anyone around, so Jiang Linyuan spotted Shen Wanyu with just a glance.

Sitting by the window, she was wearing a black knee-length dress, revealing a pair of smooth, shapely calves.

Her skin was fair, a classic cool-toned pale that looked exceptionally delicate under the sunlight.

Her temperament was cold, giving off a "stay away" vibe with an aura that commanded attention.

I love it, I love it. She truly is my A-tier goddess department head. If I could get a reward from her, I'd even be willing to live in a mansion!

As if noticing Jiang Linyuan's gaze, Shen Wanyu looked up and glanced at him.

"Good morning, Department Head."

Jiang Linyuan walked over and sat down, only to discover that she had already prepared a cup of coffee for him.

He looked Shen Wanyu up and down with a mix of suspicion and surprise.

I don't recall having any hypnotic powers, so why is this department head being so thoughtful?

Shen Wanyu just looked at Jiang Linyuan and asked indifferently:

"Are you not going to drink it?"

"Department Head, even though I usually pester you, surely you wouldn't go as far as drugging me?"

Jiang Linyuan stared at the coffee in front of him, not daring to touch it.

The department head buying him coffee was unlikely; the department head drugging him was highly probable.

Shen Wanyu didn't say a word, just stared at Jiang Linyuan quietly, looking as if she would wait until the end of time if he didn't drink it.

Tsk, Department Head, are you a stone statue of a waiting wife come to life?

Because her gaze was so oppressive, Jiang Linyuan put on a look of heroic sacrifice:

"If the sovereign wants the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die!"

With that, he took a small sip.

Hmm, I have to say, it's actually quite good.

"Alright, now that you've finished it, I have a task to hand over to you."

Seeing Jiang Linyuan drink the coffee, Shen Wanyu spoke up immediately.

"Wait, Department Head, we're here on a date today, you know?"

Hearing her opening line, Jiang Linyuan sensed something was wrong and immediately interrupted her spellcasting.

Shen Wanyu heard this and glanced at him:

"Aren't you pursuing Liu Tingting?"

Huh? This... this isn't right. Who betrayed me?

Jiang Linyuan quickly thought it over, and Su Muzhi's smiling face surfaced in his mind.

Fine, you thick-browed, big-eyed girl, you've got sticky fingers too!

"Department Head, my interactions with her are just for show. You are my true love, so there's no need to be jealous."

He said with deep affection.

Shen Wanyu covered her forehead and let out a long sigh:

"I don't care about your private life, but out of personal goodwill, I'll give you a heads-up: stay away from Su Muzhi."

"Are you and she very close, Department Head?"

Jiang Linyuan asked.

He had always been curious about the relationship between Su Muzhi and Shen Wanyu.

"My relationship with her is probably about the same as my relationship with you."

What! The relationship between the department head and Su Muzhi is actually that good!

"What are you surprised about? Did you think my relationship with you was very good?"

Shen Wanyu looked at Jiang Linyuan's shocked expression and said calmly.

"Isn't it good?"

Jiang Linyuan retorted.

"Heh."

Shen Wanyu sneered, took a sip of her coffee, and said no more, looking like an NPC issuing a quest:

"There's a Badminton Club off-campus that wants to sponsor the school's Badminton Club. As the External Relations Department is the intermediary, I'm leaving this matter for you to handle."

"Department Head, on such a beautiful morning, you are truly lacking in romance..."

"If you say one more word of nonsense, I'll stir up trouble between you and Liu Tingting."

"Department Head, you really are jealous, aren't you."

"I'll post your glorious achievements on the confession wall right now and find people to forward them to Liu Tingting."

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author; perhaps the name has just been changed!

As she spoke, Shen Wanyu proved to be a woman of action; she didn't just talk, she immediately pulled out her phone and began tapping away.

"Minister! I love my work! Let's talk this over properly!"

Jiang Linyuan stood up, his large, sincere eyes fixed on Shen Wanyu.

You detestable, wicked woman. You've only used a few Reward Cards on me, yet you're acting so tough. Just you wait!

Shen Wanyu put her phone away and said indifferently:

"Also, with the new students arriving and the department recruitment coming up, you'll be in charge of that as well."

Jiang Linyuan frowned:

"Isn't that something you, as the Minister, should be responsible for?"

As a subordinate department of the Student Union, all recruitment for the External Relations Department was supposed to be handled by the department head.

Jiang Linyuan was only the Vice Minister; logically, he was only there to provide support.

"Let me ask you, who is in charge of all affairs in the External Relations Department?"

Shen Wanyu said in a flat, straightforward tone.

"The Minister of the External Relations Department..."

"Very good. Now, who am I?"

"The Minister of the External Relations Department..."

Shen Wanyu nodded and said calmly:

"So, do you have any objections to my arrangements?"

What an abuse of power! Does she think I'm afraid of her?

I think you don't realize that when a common man flies into a rage, blood will splash five steps away!

Jiang Linyuan was just about to speak when Shen Wanyu cut him off:

"The coffee, it's good, isn't it?"

Jiang Linyuan froze.

Forget it. A wise man relies on strategy, not brute force.

"Vice Minister Jiang, although I don't trust your character, I do trust your competence. You can handle these matters."

Shen Wanyu swiped on her phone a few times:

"I've sent you the contact information for the club. Also, it's getting late, and I have things to do, so I'm leaving."

With that, she turned and walked away with crisp, decisive steps.

Jiang Linyuan watched her retreating back, his expression numb.

Getting late, my foot! Why don't you take a look at the bright sun outside before you speak?

I finally managed to get her out, but it's no different from being at school.

It's just talking about official business in a different location!

Looking at the coffee in front of him, Jiang Linyuan received a WeChat message from Su Muzhi.

"Student Jiang, how is the progress?"

Jiang Linyuan thought for a moment:

"Junior Su, did you tell Shen Wanyu about me and Liu Tingting?"

"I only mentioned it in passing, okay? I didn't add any fuel to the fire. Senior Jiang, you didn't get coffee thrown on you, did you?"

Even through the screen, he could sense the schadenfreude.

Su Muzhi, you are courting death!

Jiang Linyuan put his phone away, ignoring the two-faced smiling tiger, and began contacting the club that Shen Wanyu had sent over.

Life is life, and work is work; he could still distinguish between the two.

He had a brief conversation with the club.

The owner was an alumnus who had also come from the Badminton Club; now that he had found success, he wanted to sponsor his alma mater's Badminton Club.

However, he was worried that his funds would be wasted on frivolous activities.

This concern wasn't unfounded; there were quite a few clubs in the university that took money without doing any real work.

The current Badminton Club had a bit of that atmosphere, and their results in the University League had been getting worse over the past few years.

The club's request was simple: sponsorship was possible, but they had to produce decent results.

Not to mention the long term, but in the short term, they hoped the Badminton Club could achieve a high ranking in the upcoming Four-School Friendly Match.

Jiang Linyuan looked at the chat history and felt a bit troubled.

Among the four universities, the strength of their Badminton Club was in an awkward position.

Everyone else's goal was to fight for first place!

But the Star University Badminton Club, where Jiang Linyuan belonged, considered fighting for third and securing fourth a victory!

This is a bit troublesome.

If you can't find it by searching the book title, you can try searching for the author; perhaps it just changed its name!
