So ordinary, yet so confident

"What do you mean, you didn't do it on purpose? I saw it with my own two eyes! You were walking along perfectly fine, but you just had to twist around like a snake and fall on a flat floor. What, this perfectly level floor isn't good enough for you? With heels that high, why don't you just come to work on stilts?"

Qin Yan blinked, staring a little blankly toward her eldest uncle's office.

That voice belonged to her eldest uncle, right?

Fu Nanshan: Now was not a good time to go in.

The secretaries and assistants with their ears pricked up for the drama: President Fu was still as savage as ever!

They were both worried and rather delighted.

For no other reason than that the person being scolded was a secretary with connections who had been shoehorned into the company.

After just a few days together, they had already learned all too well how annoying someone could be when she combined stupidity, ambition, an inflated opinion of her abilities, prejudice, rivalry with other women, and a princess complex.

She hadn't even figured out the rules of the workplace or President Fu's situation before trying to seduce their utterly ruthless boss.

And her ridiculous attempts at seduction included, but were not limited to, skimpy outfits, a forced cutesy voice and affected mannerisms, and heavy makeup while playing the sweet, innocent flower.

Every single one of those things hit a sore spot with their boss.

At first, some people had reminded her that the boss didn't like that sort of thing.

But she wouldn't listen. She even thought they had bad intentions.

After that, everyone watched coldly as she made trouble for herself.

And now, it had blown up.

What worried them was the possibility of their furious boss taking it out on them.

"Baby!"

Secretary Lin spotted Qin Yan and Fu Nanshan, and her anxious heart immediately settled.

With the baby here, even the boss's greatest fury would be soothed.

You've scolded her, so you can't scold us too.

Qin Yan came back to her senses and raised her little hand to greet the secretaries.

The secretaries and assistants couldn't even spare a thought for admiring the handsome man anymore. They all gathered around Qin Yan.

"Baby, save us!"

"Baby, you came just in time."

"You haven't visited in so long. We've missed you terribly."

His little niece had been snatched away.

Fu Nanshan pressed his lips together, looking rather displeased.

"Huh? Holy shit, what a handsome guy!"

Only then did someone notice Fu Nanshan and blurt it out.

The next second, she clapped a hand over her mouth, her face turning red.

Because Fu Nanshan had glanced at her.

That glance left her terribly embarrassed, and... her heart raced.

Holy shit, how could anyone have such incredible Looks?

Everyone looked at Fu Nanshan as though someone had pressed their pause buttons.

Someone hurriedly checked their hair and clothes, instinctively becoming conscious of their appearance.

"Gasp..."

What a beautiful man, with such a cool, aloof air.

"Younger Uncle," Qin Yan called.

She spread her little arms, asking to be held.

Fu Nanshan took her into his arms, the corners of his mouth lifting just a little.

"So you're the baby's Younger Uncle."

Wait... the baby's Younger Uncle? Didn't that make him President Fu's younger brother?

Holy shit, President Fu had such a beautiful younger brother!

With that air about him... he looked like he ought to be seated on a lotus throne for everyone to gaze up at in reverence.

"Um, Mr. Fu, you're here to see President Fu, right? Haha... President Fu is a little..."

Before the word "busy" could leave their mouth, a shout came from the office.

"Get out!"

"From this moment on, don't come back to work!"

Soon, a pale-faced woman in a short, tight skirt ran out in towering heels, sobbing her eyes out.

With the door open, the voice inside became even clearer.

Even from ten meters away, they could feel the oppressive air around Fu Yunting.

"Is your brain full of shit? Are those eyes only good for blinking, not seeing? You hired someone like that and even made her a secretary? I put you in HR to recruit talent for the company, not to work as a pimp!"

The head of HR hunched over under the scolding, wishing he could bury his head in the ground.

"President Fu, well... Director Li asked me to look after her. There was nothing I could do."

"Nothing you could do?" Fu Yunting said. "What the hell is wrong with your brain? Couldn't you have told me? My temper's been better lately, so now every last one of you wants to climb onto my head and take a shit, is that it? You can get out too. Have Zhao Yuan take charge as head of HR from now on."

The man's face seemed to turn even paler, but he didn't dare beg for mercy now.

He could only slink away.

With a dark expression, Fu Yunting pulled off his jacket and tossed it aside.

There was a clearly visible stain on his jacket.

It was the coffee that had been splashed on him.

"Somebody..."

He turned, just about to roar for someone.

Then he immediately spotted a pretty little baby clinging to the doorframe, peeking around it with less than half her face showing.

Kitty peeking |???)

Fu Yunting's expression changed on the spot.

His dark scowl, which had made him look like an enraged lion, instantly softened considerably.

Seeing that she had been discovered, Qin Yan softly called out to her uncle.

"When did you get here?" Fu Yunting asked.

Outwardly composed, the president was panicking inside.

Oh no, his image!

Qin Yan didn't go inside. She watched her eldest uncle walk over and crouch down.

She didn't shrink back in fear, either.

Her little body emerged from behind the wall, and she slowly walked over to him.

"I came with Younger Uncle."

"I heard you scolding people really fiercely, Eldest Uncle."

Fu Yunting: ...Those two damned idiots had ruined his image!

Worried that he had frightened his little niece, he was just about to say something to salvage his image.

A little hand settled on his tightly furrowed brow.

"Uncle, don't be angry."

The little one comforted him in her soft, sweet voice.

Not only was she unafraid, but she was even comforting him, telling him not to be angry.

Fu Yunting's heart felt so warm at that moment.

How could there be such a wonderful baby? He now agreed with the secretaries when they called his little niece an angel baby.

Such a wonderful baby was his little niece!

The anger in Fu Yunting's heart was instantly soothed.

Outside, the secretaries watching what was happening were so happy they could almost cry.

Sure enough, only the baby could calm this raging lion!

In the secretaries' group chat, everyone kept sending excited messages as they worked.

Secretary Lin: Did you see that? Did you see that? The baby is seriously amazing.

Secretary Zhao: We dodged a bullet. Thank goodness the baby came in time.

Secretary Song: Please let the baby visit often. She works better than a fire extinguisher. She's everyone's savior!

Secretary Lin: Time for a nationwide celebration. That bitch Sun is finally gone. I've been putting up with her for ages.

Secretary Lin: Fuck, it was bad enough that she was competing with other women, but she even decided I was her rival.

Secretary Wang: Never mind you. She saw anyone in our secretaries' office who was even slightly good-looking as a rival.

Secretary Song: Did any of you have it as bad as Assistant Shen? That idiot even threatened him, telling him to stick to his duties and not covet what he shouldn't.

The other secretaries: ...

Secretary Lin: Holy shit, is she actually right in the head? Assistant Shen is a man.

Secretary Song: ╮(??w??)╭

Secretary Song: Gender isn't an issue at all these days, okay?

Secretary Lin: Assistant Shen has a girlfriend, okay? That bitch Sun would have needed a twenty-year-old blood clot in her brain to go warn and threaten him.

Secretary Wang: I really envy her. So ordinary, yet so confident.
