By the time Dou Jingjing and her colleagues finished working overtime on their proposal, it was nearly ten at night.
"Thanks for all your hard work, everyone. Late-night snacks are on me," their manager, Huang Kai, said with a smile, clapping his hands.
His gaze swept over his male and female subordinates before finally settling on the slender, attractive young woman.

"You didn't know? Some guy's been picking her up and dropping her off every day lately. Apparently, they're even living together," the first woman revealed conspiratorially.
