She went to the door and tried to open it, only to find it locked.
This made Catherine feel a bit panicked—could it be that this woman was trying to steal her man and turn Li Zhiyan into her slave?
No way!
Li Zhiyan was already the key figure in Catherine and Evelyn’s years-long rivalry.
"Ignore her."
Evelyn felt the warmth emanating from Li Zhiyan’s hand and had no desire to part from him.
But as Catherine continued knocking on the door outside, Evelyn realized this couldn’t go on.
"Damn foreign bitch!"
After removing her black silk-clad jade foot from Li Zhiyan’s leg, Evelyn slipped into her high heels and walked toward the door.
When she opened it, Catherine glanced at Li Zhiyan and said, "Li Zhiyan, get to work."
Li Zhiyan didn’t stay there any longer. He knew these two won were about to start another screaming match.
After the door closed, Evelyn smirked and said, "Today, Li Zhiyan gave a foot massage."
"Stop bragging. Why don’t you get him to do it in front of ?"
"You foreign bitch, who’s bragging to you!"
The two won quickly descended into another round of insults.
...
Li Zhiyan arrived at his workstation, tidied up a bit, and planned to go collect his "wild bonus."
At that mont, Yin Deli ca over and patted him on the shoulder.
"Li Zhiyan, not bad, young man. Stick with on so projects, and I’ll promote you down the line."
"Got it, President Yin."
Li Zhiyan knew Yin Deli was trying to set him up, but for now, he couldn’t say anything. Li Zhiyan’s composed deanor caught Yin Deli a bit off guard.
Wasn’t a poor kid from so small place supposed to be ecstatic for a chance like this? Why was he acting so indifferent?
Maybe he was just pretending to stay calm.
Regardless, Yin Deli had resolved to saddle Li Zhiyan with massive debt—only then could he win favor with Jin Muxue.
He had been infatuated with Jin Muxue for many years, and though he was "past his pri," he figured taking so harmful dication could still give him a shot.
As for Evelyn, he had long lost interest in her. But if it was Jin Muxue, he was willing to make a sacrifice.
As for this Li Zhiyan, he would be the "gift" he presented to Jin Muxue.
...
After leaving the company, Li Zhiyan saw Jin ngyu, Liu Yichen, and Liu Jinxin downstairs.
When Jin ngyu spotted Li Zhiyan, his gaze was full of provocation.
"Li Zhiyan, go buy three bottles of water."
The condescending tone in Jin ngyu’s voice made Li Zhiyan extrely uncomfortable. It was as if he were being ordered around like a dog.
"Get lost! If you want water, buy it yourself!"
Of course, Li Zhiyan wouldn’t indulge him. He snapped back imdiately. Jin ngyu burned with rage; after all, he had visited the group’s headquarters before.
The office workers there were like dogs he could push around at will.
But this wasn’t the first ti Li Zhiyan had refused to give him face!
He wanted to step forward and teach Li Zhiyan a lesson, but he knew he wasn’t a match for him. If he went ahead with it, Li Zhiyan would surely respond with a beating.
For a mont, he fell silent.
Both Liu Yichen and Liu Jinxin seed like they wanted to act, but rembering how they had been thrashed by Li Zhiyan in an alley, they too held back in silence.
The three of them, faced with Li Zhiyan alone, now looked hesitant and cowardly—a truly laughable sight.
It wasn’t until Li Zhiyan left that the trio started cursing and spouting all kinds of threats.
...
After going to the lottery store to claim his "wild bonus," Li Zhiyan’s savings reached 950,000 yuan.
He was now within arm’s reach of having a million yuan in the bank.
However, calculating all his assets, his net worth far exceeded one million already.
Afterward, Li Zhiyan went to an internet café to slack off.
He had just sat down when a McLaren pulled up outside, and then Catherine, the foreign "blonde bombshell," walked in with a cheerful stride.
She looked pleased, clearly the winner of the earlier argunt.
Approaching Li Zhiyan, Catherine didn’t sit on his lap like she usually did.
Their ten-date arrangent was over, and deep down, Catherine always looked down on Li Zhiyan for being Asian.
There was no way she’d continue flirting with him.
"Li Zhiyan, at work, if Young Master Jin tells you to do sothing, you’d better not refuse."
"Jin ngyu already approached you, didn’t he?"
"Yeah. You know Young Master Jin is Chairman Jin’s son, right?"
"The Chairman’s Wife dotes on him terribly, and I can’t afford to cross him."
"So it’s best if you don’t offend him. Whatever you do with Evelyn, I can make sure you don’t get fired. Even with Liu Yichen, you don’t have to pay him any mind."
Catherine figured it wouldn’t hurt for her own son to experience so hardships.
"But if the Chairman’s Wife gets involved, you’ll really be out of a job. I can sense it—you seem to really need this job."
Catherine couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but she had a feeling Li Zhiyan was eager to keep working here. It didn’t add up since, with soone like Lai Feifei backing him, he shouldn’t need this job at all.
"Got it."
Li Zhiyan responded dismissively. Though he said this, it was absolutely impossible for him to let Jin ngyu walk all over him.
The only workplace bullying he tolerated was the black silk "attacks" from Catherine or Evelyn; any other attempts at bullying, he simply wouldn’t accept.
