"By the way, Chengcheng, it's my birthday in a few days, you absolutely have to come!" Gu Yuning took out a cream-colored invitation card from her bag, which still carried a faint scent of rose perfume, very much in line with Gu Yuning's style.
Gu Yuning's birthday? That seems to be the first time Brother Qi met Gu Yuning. Then, because the original owner of this body mischievously bumped into Gu Yuning, Gu Yuning was hugged by Wen Qi, and the two of them developed a little bit of feelings for each other, gradually becoming familiar with each other.
Wen Cheng thought about it. Although he was a rather laid-back person and didn't like these kinds of social gatherings, it seemed he should still go for Qi Ge's happiness.
Wen Cheng nodded reluctantly, though she didn't know why she felt a little sour inside.
...
Because Qi Ge and his father were away these past few days, Wen Cheng's family had been receiving many guests. So whenever a car arrived, he would instinctively stick his head out the window slightly, and if he saw someone he knew, he would greet them warmly. Although it was a pity he couldn't be a pillar of the family...
But even as an ordinary security guard, Wen Cheng is dedicated to providing a good welcome and being the company's most welcoming face.
"Xiao Cheng, stop sticking your head out all the time. If President Wen sees you, he'll say you're not careful." That's right, Wen Qi really cares about the safety of every employee.
"It's okay~" Because my older brother hasn't come back these past few days, he's flying freely!
Another black car drove up, another Rolls-Royce. It seemed to be a mid-level employee of the company. Wen Cheng greeted him with even greater enthusiasm, sticking her little head out, the breeze making her curly hair flutter.
Wen Qi carefully handled the meeting details in the back seat. Yes, he had requested to return early, citing a company project that required his attention.
The important matters had been mostly resolved in the past two days, so Wen Yongwang naturally supported his return.
In fact, Wen Qi was very concerned about Wen Cheng's state after that meal, and his heart was clamoring for him to see him as soon as possible.
The dense text made Wen Qi, who had been working at high intensity for several days, feel uncomfortable. He looked up and frowned. Just then, he passed by the security booth and caught sight of a head of curly hair fluttering in the wind.
Um?
Wen Cheng watched the Rolls-Royce drive by, her expression soft and languid. Unexpectedly, the car slowly came to a stop, and the rear window gently rolled down.
Their eyes met, and Wen Cheng froze like a statue.

Chapter 17 Subconscious Protection
Wen Qi saw Wen Cheng dressed in a company-customized security guard uniform. Confusion and incomprehension flashed in his eyes. In the end, Wen Qi couldn't help but wonder if Wen Cheng was cosplaying here. This was completely different from his understanding of grassroots security guards. It wasn't until another security guard uncle in the security booth spoke up.
"Xiao Cheng, I told you not to stick your head out of the window," the security guard said, seeing that Wen Cheng hadn't moved and the Rolls-Royce outside hadn't driven over, so he got up to see what was going on.
Upon seeing Wen Qi, he immediately smiled politely and quickly patted the shoulder of the silly boy next to him.
"Mr. Wen, I'm sorry, this child has only been here a few days and doesn't quite know the rules. I'll make sure he doesn't peek out in the future!" The security guard's explanation was nothing short of the last straw for Wen Cheng.
Seeing Wen Qi's face darken,
Wen Cheng smiled coldly to himself; his life of lying down was about to end.
"Wen Cheng, get in the car," Wen Qi was angry, but not to the point of scolding Wen Cheng in front of outsiders. However, the chill emanating from him was enough to make the driver and Wen Cheng feel a sense of crisis. Wen Cheng felt her legs trembling.
The security guard was clearly unaware of what was going on and wanted to say a few words in defense of Wen Cheng, but the always clever Wen Cheng obediently walked out before him, without uttering a single word of explanation.
Where did this kid's usual intelligence go?!
“Mr. Wen, I also bear some responsibility for this. You see, this is unnecessary.” The security guard’s protective spirit deeply moved Wen Cheng. If Wen Qi’s aura hadn’t been so oppressive, he would have definitely given the security guard a big hug!
"Uncle Zhao, Wen Cheng is my younger brother. I hope you can keep this a secret for now." Wen Qi could call the security guard by name, so they must have some dealings. However, his expression didn't suggest he could continue explaining quietly.
Uncle Zhao was stunned by the truth and didn't come to his senses for a long time. The boss's own son was working as a security guard.
Wen Cheng quickly jumped into the car, not wanting to face the embarrassment of having her disguise torn off.
Wen Qi didn't want to linger, so he instructed the driver to drive to the company entrance. Wen Cheng sat next to Wen Qi, trembling with fear, not daring to utter a sound.
Uncle Zhao was left looking at the rear of the car with a complicated expression.
Young people these days really know how to have fun!
Wen Qi didn't say another word until they stopped at the company entrance, and Wen Cheng didn't dare to make any rash moves either.
A faint woody scent emanated from Wen Qi in the narrow back seat. Although Qi-ge, whom she had missed for several nights, was finally back, Wen Cheng lacked the confidence to go up and ask for a hug.
She huddled up like a quail as she followed Wen Qi out of the car and walked towards the company lobby. At this time, there weren't many people in the lobby, only two receptionists.
They looked at Wen Qi with some surprise, wondering why he had brought Wen Cheng in with him.
Although they were very worried about Wen Cheng, the group's darling and silly girl, their professionalism and survival instincts prevented them from speaking out at this moment. They could only announce the news in the company's small group chat.
The second-in-command is back, looking unwell, and he's taking Orange Treasure to the private elevator!
The moment this news broke, it was met with a flood of exclamation marks.
[What happened? Did Chengcheng get into trouble? What could a security guard like him possibly do that would get him caught by Premier Wen?]
[Anyone who's on good terms with Premier Wen, go and plead with him!]

......
This call to action naturally garnered various responses. In fact, everyone thought of one person: Gu Yuning. However, Gu Yuning was currently in a very important meeting and hadn't seen the group message at all.
[Hmm, ladies, have you ever thought that it was Mr. Wen who fell for Chengcheng's beauty? Chengcheng may look a bit lazy, but there's no doubt she's pretty.]
[Well, I can't disagree with what the person upstairs said!]
[Damn, how did the thread go off-topic? Okay, let me say something too. Hasn't President Wen never had any scandals? Let alone girlfriends? Could it be that he...?]
[I'm ready! My creative spirit is ignited! I'm going to write fanfiction about them tonight!]
Sisters, don't forget to share the link!
[Send a link +1!]
Meanwhile, the two people, experiencing contrasting emotions of extremes, were naturally unaware of the subconscious changes that had occurred within the company.
"President Wen, you're back! Hey, wait a minute! What are you doing! Don't you know this is President Wen's private elevator?" The man who caused trouble in the cafeteria a couple of days ago bravely walked into the line of fire again, pointing at Wen Cheng and scolding her without any politeness.
Originally furious, Wen Qi instinctively stepped in front of Wen Cheng.

Merry Christmas Eve to all my lovely friends!
My favorite character in Chapter 18 is Brother Qi!
Wen Cheng was prepared to have a good confrontation with him, but Qi Ge just stood in front of her so naturally. Wen Cheng suddenly felt a long-lost sense of security, but at the same time, she felt even more guilty.
The man didn't last three seconds under Wen Qi's gaze before lowering his arrogant middle finger, then looked at Wen Cheng and Wen Qi with obvious embarrassment.
"Mr. Wen, are you the one who wants to take him upstairs?" the man asked, bowing and scraping.
Wen Qi, however, was not one to fall for such flattery and asked coldly, "Since when have I had to report my decisions to you?"
Wen Cheng couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up. Brother Qi is indeed Brother Qi, he has such a domineering CEO aura!
The man broke out in a cold sweat instantly; he never expected the company boss to speak up for such a lowly security guard.
"It's my fault, Mr. Wen. I overstepped my bounds. I'll leave right now!" This is the kind of person who's all talk and no action.
However, the attempt to stage an accident happened to Wen Cheng. No matter how angry Wen Qi was with him, he wouldn't allow anyone to point fingers at his younger brother.
"Wait, name, which department?"
Knowing he couldn't escape the question, the man gritted his teeth, turned around, and said with an indignant expression, "President Wen, my name is Shi Xingyan, from the publicity department. I know this attitude isn't good for my colleagues, but Wen Cheng was really rude before, humiliating me in front of everyone. So I'm worried he might do something to you, President Wen."
Tsk tsk tsk, look at that sycophantic manner. Wen Cheng felt she still had a lot to learn.
"Is there some past conflict?" Wen Qi turned his gaze to Wen Cheng, but his eyes didn't seem accusatory at all. He knew Wen Cheng wouldn't cause trouble easily. "Wen Cheng, what happened?"
Wen Cheng peeked out, feeling even more smug with her older brother's protection. Yet, she still acted very obediently and said, "I did say some things to him that I wouldn't say to ordinary people."
A look of surprise flashed in Shi Xingyan's eyes. He was surprised that Wen Cheng could be so stupid as to confess her crime on her own. He was not beyond saving this time!
But Wen Cheng continued, "For example, when he insisted on having dinner with pretty female employees in the company, I called him a toad trying to eat swan meat."
Wen's strategy of first praising and then criticizing successfully made Shi Xingyan break out in a cold sweat.
Wen Qi gave the man a cold look and said, "Get ready and go to HR to settle your salary later."
Wen Qi entered the elevator without giving the man a chance to explain, and Wen Cheng followed closely behind. As she passed Shi Xingyan, she mouthed a few words.
Shi Xingyan actually understood even this extreme state.
Those who do evil will not live long.
Within the Wen family, Wen Qi has a bottom line, such as basic human morality. If you cross that line, you can forget about staying in the Wen family.
Shi Xingyan walked dejectedly toward the other elevator, while the receptionist who witnessed everything became even more convinced of what was said in the group chat: sure enough, all the domineering CEOs love Chengcheng! It's exactly the same taste as them!
The Wen family's company building is a twin-tower design; Wen Qi's office is on the top floor of the right-hand tower.
Stepping into the office, you're greeted by a large floor-to-ceiling window offering a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. The sophisticated yet simple office equipment and the use of various shades of gray create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
"Sit down." Wen Qi gave Wen Cheng a cold look and sat down on the sofa opposite her.
Wen Cheng felt like a prisoner sitting in front of Wen Qi, obediently keeping her legs together and her hands on her lap, waiting patiently for her punishment.
"Brother Qi~" Wen Cheng tried to get away with her cuteness, blinking her charming eyes incessantly.
"If you have any convulsion-related issues, I wouldn't mind treating them for you."
Wen Qi's idea of treatment was definitely different from Wen Cheng's understanding. For the sake of her big, beautiful eyes, Wen Cheng reluctantly abandoned her cuteness-based approach.
He had never heard of someone transmigrating into a book as a rich second-generation heir and still having to work so hard. If he had known, he...
He must have been honest with his parents from the beginning that he was a good-for-nothing and that the discrimination he faced was nothing compared to a million-dollar allowance. But now he couldn't bring himself to say it to Wen Qi so frankly.
Wen Qi looked at Wen Cheng in her security guard uniform and found it displeasing no matter how he looked at it. It was strange that Wen Cheng's small frame was dressed in this uniform. Under the short-sleeved summer uniform, Wen Cheng's arms were barely as thick as lotus roots and as white as a porcelain doll. She didn't look like someone who did this job at all. Also, the way she looked in the security booth just now showed that she was very skilled!
The thought of his silly younger brother smiling so happily at every colleague who drove in made Wen Qi feel uneasy.
