The Second Male Lead Said He Was My Ex-Boyfriend!!!

From that day onward.

Annie seemed like a completely different person. With her outstanding abilities, she successfully transferred from Finance to the Secretariat.

Zhu Yu looked over the neatly organized files on the computer and the flawless translations, then nodded. Now this was what an efficient employee looked like.

Knock, knock, knock. The office door was rapped on.

"Come in." Zhu Yu glanced toward the door and saw his capable subordinate, Annie. A smile immediately bloomed across his face.

Life was looking more and more promising. He had managed to latch onto Shen Jingmo, his golden thigh, even if only a little, and now he had Annie, his cheat code. Oh my god! How did life suddenly become so comfortable?

"Assistant Zhu, these are the documents I translated today, along with the reimbursement forms for today's outside work." Annie, in her high heels, looked completely renewed.

"No problem. Take the forms directly to Finance for reimbursement." Zhu Yu looked through the documents and nodded.

Ever since Annie joined, the documents that would have taken several more days to finish had all been handled today.

"Okay." Annie flicked her hair with her left hand and walked out of the office.

Annie looked at Shen Jingyan, who was still struggling to translate at his workstation, and did not feel the slightest urge to help him. After working for several days, she realized that the man she had taken a liking to was actually shockingly inefficient.

The amount of work she could finish in one day took him two days. It made her seriously question her own judgment.

In Zhu Yu's office, Zhu Yu had just finished sorting all the documents.

Xiao Zhuang suddenly entered the office. "Assistant Zhu, the project manager from W Company is here."

Zhu Yu tried hard to recall the company. Wasn't it that company that dragged its feet every quarter?

If the original owner had not wanted things to stay stable every quarter, he would have replaced them long ago. Yet they acted as though they were irreplaceable treasures.

"Does the boss know about this?" Zhu Yu stood and headed for the door.

"No." Xiao Zhuang followed beside him as he answered.

"There's no need to bother the boss with something this minor. I'll go take a look. Oh, and didn't we rate TY Company as the best partner before? Have someone contact them now and tell them our company intends to cooperate with them this quarter." Zhu Yu adjusted his clothes.

"Yes." Xiao Zhuang looked at Zhu Yu's expression and silently sighed. Assistant Zhu was angry again!

"Oh, has someone named Guan Yi joined the office? Have him come with me."

Zhu Yu remembered that one of the dangerous people in the office was Guan Yi, the second male lead from the novel. The past few days had been so consumed by those two lunatics that he had nearly forgotten this character existed.

"Okay." Xiao Zhuang headed toward the office.

Zhu Yu waited by the elevator.

At that moment, Shen Jingmo called Zhu Yu's office, but no one answered.

Frowning, Shen Jingmo rose from his seat and headed toward the assistants' office.

Just as he was about to reach the elevator on the top floor, two figures suddenly appeared before him.

Zhu Yu looked at Guan Yi, the elite second male lead standing before him.

Damn! Did everyone have to be this tall? Did the original owner eat less than all of you when he was a kid?

"You're here. Then let's head to the conference room downstairs." Though Zhu Yu grumbled inwardly, his face remained expressionless as he turned to press the elevator button.

Before Zhu Yu could reach the button, Guan Yi suddenly grabbed his hand from behind.

That alone would have been one thing, but Guan Yi actually spun him around and pinned him against the wall.

"Guan Yi, what are you doing?" Zhu Yu looked at the man before him in a panic. No way? You haven't even gotten any information, and you're already going to silence me?

Help! Help! Someone save me! I had no idea the second male lead was a lunatic! Oh my god! If I'd known, I wouldn't have run my mouth just now.

Hearing Zhu Yu's silent cry for help, Shen Jingmo was about to step forward when he heard Guan Yi's voice.

"Little Fish, did you miss me?" Guan Yi slowly moved closer to Zhu Yu.

"No, bro, have you mistaken me for someone else? You shouldn't be saying that to me. I'm a man, a genuine man!" Zhu Yu hurriedly braced his hands against the other man's shoulders.

"I know. My ex-boyfriend." Guan Yi smiled and tried to move closer again.

Zhu Yu was completely dumbfounded by those words. Using all his strength, he shoved the man away and escaped his hold.

"Are you out of your mind? How could I possibly be your ex-boyfriend?" Zhu Yu patted his chest, though confusion churned within him. Could the original owner really have dated him? The novel had never mentioned it.

"Little Fish, have you already forgotten me? We only broke up a few years ago." Guan Yi leaned against the wall.

"Pah! Even if we dated before, haven't you heard the saying? A qualified ex should act like they're dead."

"And now you suddenly pop back up like a corpse rising from the grave. What, did you suddenly realize your ex might still be useful? Or has your stomach gone soft lately, and you want to live off someone else?"

As if I'd believe that crap. You little undercover agent, even if you really were my ex-boyfriend, you must have seen that my current position could get you some benefits. You really think too highly of yourself.

"Little Fish, how did you become like this? You used to be so gentle." Guan Yi looked at Zhu Yu with a pained expression.

"Heh. Does this smile look gentle to you?" Zhu Yu looked at him with undisguised disgust.

Just hearing that makes me want to curse. What, you didn't cherish me when I was gentle, and now that we've broken up, you want to discuss whether I'm gentle or not? How do you have the nerve? How is your face so thick?

"Little Fish..." Guan Yi wanted to say more.

Zhu Yu quickly raised a hand to stop him. "I'm warning you, don't spread nonsense around the company. The company has clear rules: no office romances."

Guan Yi's expression changed upon hearing that. He turned and left.

Zhu Yu watched the man's retreating back. "Pah! You think you can control me? Take a look at who I am first."

"What are you doing?" A voice came from the distance.

Zhu Yu was too caught up in his thoughts to notice who it was and answered instinctively, "I just cursed a scumbag until he ran away."

"Assistant Zhu." Shen Jingmo quietly called Zhu Yu's name again.

"Who is it? Ah, ah... Boss!" Zhu Yu turned around angrily and came face-to-face with Shen Jingmo's cold, impassive face.

It's over, it's over. Did the boss see that ferocious look on my face just now?

Shen Jingmo almost wanted to laugh when he heard that. So Zhu Yu knew that his expression had looked ferocious.

"When I came over, I saw you standing here spacing out. I thought something had happened, so I called out to you. If you're fine, continue working." Shen Jingmo did not mention that he had actually seen everything that had just happened.

"Okay." Zhu Yu wiped the cold sweat from his hands.

Watching his golden thigh walk away, Zhu Yu let out a long breath. "Whew... Good thing my image as a smart, capable, gentle, and considerate person wasn't ruined."
