The next morning, the design department was in an uproar.
"Did you hear? The new intern landed the cooperation with the Xuan Corporation? Is it true?"
"Not only that, I heard she's also in charge of this jewelry design."
"Hmph, it must be through improper channels."
"Why haven't I seen you with such capabilities?"
"Because you're not as good-looking as her, she looks like a siren."
"Shh, stop talking."
Xia Han, overhearing this as she walked in, couldn't hide her pride. She tossed her hair: "Don't forget who my best friend is."
Xuan Corporation
Lan Qianqian stood helplessly at the building's entrance.
Yesterday, after Xuan Mohan arrived home, he messaged her, asking her to work at Xuan Corporation during their collaboration for easier communication.
It was true, though. Compared to frequent phone calls, face-to-face communication was more efficient.
Wang Jiang, the head of the design department, personally greeted her at the department entrance. Despite his modest position, he was astute, just as Assistant Li had instructed.
"Hello, Miss Lan. I am Wang Jiang, the head of the design department. Your workstation is over there. You can tell me if you need anything."
"Hello, Manager Wang. Just call me Qianqian." Lan Qianqian was a little unaccustomed to such enthusiasm.
After Wang Jiang familiarized her with the environment and introduced her to the department members, they both started their busy days.
President's Office
Xuan Mohan, who was working, suddenly looked up and asked Li An, who was beside him, "Has Lan Qianqian arrived?"
"President, she's already in the design department downstairs."
"Have all her arrangements been made?"
"I've already spoken with Wang Jiang."
"What is she doing now?" Xuan Mohan knew what she was doing but still wanted to hear it.
"President, hurry up and sign! I still have many things to delegate!!" Li An roared inwardly.
However, he maintained a serious demeanor. "Wang Jiang showed her around the design department this morning and introduced her to the department members. Afterward, she settled at her workstation to brainstorm designs."
"Good. Wang Jiang will receive double his salary this month." Xuan Mohan was quite satisfied with Wang Jiang's capabilities.
"..." He wanted that too. He was the one who had spoken to Wang Jiang in the first place. Just as he thought this,
"Your bonus this month is doubled."
"Thank you, President. I will take good care of Miss Lan." Li An's mouth spread into a grin. This bonus was the easiest one he had ever received, and he knew he had to stick close to Miss Lan from now on.
"Hmm, inform Wang Jiang that the design department has worked hard recently. The entire department will go out for some fun, and the expenses will be covered by the company's accounts."
"Yes."
It seemed Miss Lan was quite special to the President. At least, he had never seen the President put so much effort into any woman, not even his wife.
Xuan Mohan stood up, picked up his coat, and walked out.
"President, where are you going?" He couldn't recall any appointments or social engagements for him at this time.
"Leaving work."
"Huh?" Li An was genuinely bewildered. He stood frozen for a long time before he realized what the President had said.
His President, a workaholic, was leaving work now? Had he misheard?
"President, wait for me!" By the time Li An went out, Xuan Mohan was nowhere to be seen.
"Everyone, stop what you're doing. To reward our design department, the entire department will go out tomorrow evening, with the company covering all expenses." After a day of hard work, Wang Jiang delivered the exhilarating news.
"Ah!"
"Wow!"
"So happy!"
Everyone had a smile on their faces.
"However, everyone must not slack off. By creating more performance for the company, the company's benefits will only increase, understand?"
Listening to Wang Jiang's familiar words, everyone chuckled and gave a perfunctory response. In reality, no one dared to be lazy at Xuan Corporation; there was no better reputation or treatment than that offered by Xuan Corporation.
Lan Qianqian looked at the harmonious scene and smiled knowingly.
After this day, she felt that the design department at Xuan Corporation was very warm and united.
After work, employees left the building one by one. Lan Qianqian walked out last.
At this moment, Li An walked up. "Miss Lan, the President is waiting for you in the car."
He had thought the President had personal matters today, but he never expected that it was to secretly meet his beloved.
Lan Qianqian thought there was something to be explained and didn't think too much of it.
"President Xuan, is there something you need?" Lan Qianqian asked the distinguished man in the car by the car.
"Get in."
Not daring to waste President Xuan's time, Lan Qianqian bent down and slid into the car.
After Lan Qianqian entered, Li An got into the driver's seat, and the car slowly drove away.
"President Xuan, where are we going?" Lan Qianqian asked, confused.
"I'm heading back anyway, so I'll give you a ride."
A ride? The President's Shallow Bay community and Miss Lan's residence were not in opposite directions, but they were certainly not on the way.
"Then thank you, President Xuan." Since she was already in the car, Lan Qianqian didn't refuse.
As she sat, Lan Qianqian's head lolled to the side, and she fell asleep. A warm, large hand caught her, not disturbing the deeply slumbering owner.
"She really has a palm-sized face." Xuan Mohan watched with amusement.
Looking at her sleeping face up close, it was sweet and soft, untouched by worldly affairs, like an angel fallen to earth. Her face was flawless, her skin fair with a rosy blush, her chin pointed, and her lips moist and lustrous, making one want to kiss them.
With this thought, Xuan Mohan slowly leaned closer to those pink lips. Just then, Lan Qianqian woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a magnified face. Although it was a handsome face, she was still startled.
She reflexively recoiled, only to bump into a unmoving large hand. Thus, Lan Qianqian was tragically bounced back.
Her lips landed on the man's thin, well-defined lips...
