The smile in Wen Qi's eyes hadn't faded. "Well done, here's your reward."
"Base salary of one thousand, commission of four thousand, aren't you losing out, Brother Qi?" Although Wen Cheng said this, she was still beaming with joy, which gave her tired face a touch of color.
Wen Qi scoffed, "Since you care about me so much, then just return the four thousand to me."
Wen Cheng pretended to look out the window.
...
Wen Qi drove very steadily, but his speed was definitely not slow; he was the type who aimed for perfection while maintaining stability. As Wen Cheng sat there, her eyelids began to slowly close.
Wen Qi pursed his lips unhappily. Last night, when he got up at one o'clock to get a drink of water, he saw the light in Wen Cheng's room still shining through the crack in the door. He knew without even thinking what she was doing.
"Warm orange".
Wen Qi called out in a deep voice.
Wen Cheng's eyes widened immediately. He was extremely sensitive to Qi Ge's voice. After all, in a world of cannon fodder, it was a great obligation to remember every habit and voice of the big boss!
"Brother Qi, what's wrong?" Wen Cheng's voice sounded a little hoarse, like a milk dumpling coated in bean flour, sweet but not cloying.
Wen Qi stared intently ahead. "Do you know why I insisted you come to work today?"
"Because Brother Qi, you don't want to see me fall into such a state of depravity. You want me to understand that money doesn't come easily and must be earned through my own efforts!" Wen Cheng said, clenching her fist.
Do you think I would still have that kind of expectation of you?
"...No, shouldn't it be like this?"
"Hmph." Wen Qi sneered, his meaning clear without a word.
Wen Cheng felt a blatant pressure from his older brother. He really wanted to tell him, "He's just lazy, but he's not useless!"
But then Wen Qi added:
“I did this just to make your aunt and uncle feel more sorry for you and to think from your perspective. For example, your uncle has always thought that it is only natural for you to come back and work for the family. Of course, that was just his view in the past. Now, he is gradually realizing that he has brought back not just a child who can inherit the family property, but also his own son. Soon, once you find what you want to do, I think your aunt and uncle will no longer stop you.”
When Wen Qi said this, it didn't sound like something he improvised. It was as if he had been keeping an eye on things ever since he was discovered to be a security guard.
For example, arranging a position he's familiar with, using connections at the company for the first time, and then using a little trick on his parents, but...
Wen Cheng was mostly awake now, her eyes were sore, and her heart felt heavy.
"But Brother Qi, wouldn't that make you the bad guy?" Wen Cheng didn't like this, especially since Wen Qi had sacrificed himself for her.
"Hmph, don't think too much. I'm not a bad person. I'm just doing what people like me would do. I'm really sleepy this morning, so I just came up here to rest. I'll just ask Minister Zhang for leave."
Wen Cheng paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that Wen Qi was becoming increasingly adept at giving him preferential treatment.
Wen Cheng was troubled by the thought that he had corrupted his older brother.
To prove she wasn't a complete waste of time, Wen Cheng ultimately refused her request to take the morning off and come to the department, sporting dark circles under her eyes.
Sleep deprivation is a major issue for the department, especially for the big guys in the IT department. They've really felt the impact of Wen Cheng, the little mascot. Before, female colleagues from other departments wouldn't even linger at their door, but now things are different.
Female colleagues often bring me food, sometimes in groups, which gives them the chance to get my WeChat or invite me out for team building activities. It's wonderful!
So today, Wen Cheng successfully obtained the team leader's favorite cushion and the department's most comfortable blanket.
"Sleep well, Chengcheng, come play with us when you wake up~" A colleague who was 1.9 meters tall spoke in a voice completely unlike his appearance, gently soothing him to sleep.
His other colleagues also cast caring glances his way, and it felt as if Wen Yin was looking at him.
At this moment, Wen Cheng's inner monologue: Thanks for the invitation, but I don't want a male mother!

Chapter 38 Fate?
Although the sight of a group of grown men surrounding him and showing concern for his sleep made Wen Cheng feel rather embarrassed, he was indeed showing concern for his colleagues. After politely thanking them, Wen Cheng comfortably and without any guilt fell asleep in his chair.
The company chairs are very user-friendly; for example, they can be folded down when you're resting, just big enough for one person to lie down.
Wen Cheng slept soundly, even letting out cheerful little snores in between.
When Minister Zhang passed by, he nodded with satisfaction. The huge weight that had been hanging over his heart was finally lifted. This was the treatment that the company's heir should receive!
When it was time for lunch, Wen Cheng naturally woke up hungry. After returning the small blanket and pillow to her colleague, Wen Cheng easily found the elevator and prepared to go upstairs to sleep.
Most of the colleagues who passed by knew Wen Cheng through various means, especially the girls in the company; they were incredibly enthusiastic when they saw her.
"Chengcheng, go up there!" The smile on the face of the girl in the HR recruitment team seemed particularly meaningful.
Wen Cheng nodded obediently, and incidentally received a small cake.
"Eat more so you'll have energy!"
Completely oblivious to the situation.
The elevator was unusually slow today, so Wen Cheng, standing by the elevator door, received all sorts of well-wishes and complaints.
Looking at the snacks in her arms, Wen Cheng suddenly had a terrible thought: Could it be that his status as a person with connections has been exposed!
At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and a large group of male colleagues poured in. Their gazes towards him were unmistakably filled with jealousy; some even let out a heavy sigh.
Very good, it seems he's kept his connections a secret!
After Wen Cheng got on the elevator, he felt his phone vibrate twice in his pocket, but his hands were full of snacks and he couldn't move them. He watched as the elevator climbed to the top floor.
With a "ding," the elevator doors opened, and Wen Cheng looked up to see Fei Shuo's astonished gaze, which then turned into surprise.
"Wen Cheng, it seems we really are destined for each other~" Fei Shuo revealed a confident smile.
Wen Cheng came out bewildered, clutching her snacks, only to find herself eating a meal and then seeing the villainous older brother.
"Aren't you going down?" Wen Cheng asked affectionately, pressing the elevator button with her elbow.
Fei Shuo's face stiffened, his lips caught in an awkward position, wanting to laugh but looking somewhat out of place.
This scene was witnessed by Wen Qi and Secretary Zhao as they came out.
"Warm orange".
Wen Cheng immediately looked over. The dog's eyes were shining, as if it was about to rush into its brother's arms, but its elbow was restrained by the wicked elevator button.
Secretary Zhao adjusted his glasses, immediately went over to help Wen Cheng hold him down, and took Wen Cheng's snacks with one hand. He seemed calm and unhurried throughout the whole process, and Wen Cheng wanted to applaud Secretary Zhao wildly!
Freed from her predicament, Wen Cheng skipped over to Wen Qi, keeping a three-meter distance between herself and Fei Shuo.
Wen Qi's emotions were successfully calmed down by Wen Cheng's actions.
Fei Shuo's gaze became somewhat strange, but he maintained a good facade.
"Wen Cheng, you said before that I could get your contact information after three encounters. This is the second time. I'm really looking forward to the third time."
Wen Cheng was completely speechless.
"Let me guess for you. There's an 80% chance it's in Brother Qi's office, since you have a partnership with the company. But that doesn't count. If that's considered a chance encounter, should I add everyone in the company on WeChat?" Wen Cheng asked practically.
A faint chuckle drifted through the air, but Fei Shuo heard it! He heard it!
This was the only obstacle he had ever encountered in his life. Although this obstacle was Wen Qi's younger brother, it was definitely not enough to persuade him to give up.
Fei Shuo smiled. "Really? Then I heard that it doesn't seem to be that much trouble for Yao Xingwei and He Haobo to add your contact information?"
Wen Qi frowned, but asked with a cold smile, "Mr. Fei, are you making it clear that you're investigating my brother? Should I check your past friends? For example, those whose online names are 'Little White Rabbit,' not 'Black Rabbit.'"
"Cough cough cough cough cough!" Fei Shuo coughed violently.
In his struggle, he saw a look of unspoken difficulty in Wen Cheng's eyes.
"I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'm leaving now!" Fei Shuo rushed into the elevator as if fleeing a disaster, his face a mixture of embarrassment and indignation that he hadn't had time to hide.
"Mr. Fei, let me see you out." To make sure this troublemaker really left the company, Secretary Zhao made this request, casually walking in with the snacks in her arms.
Before the elevator doors had even fully closed, Wen Cheng seemed to see the word "reliable" written all over Secretary Zhao's face!
As the number of floors decreased, Fei Shuo asked reluctantly, "Did you also add Wen Cheng's contact information?"
Secretary Zhao nodded calmly.
"So you've also bumped into Wen Cheng more than three times?" Fei Shuo's tone carried a hint of authority, a tone he used when speaking to his subordinates.
However, Secretary Zhao calmly adjusted his glasses, seemingly unaffected by the surroundings, and said, "Perhaps it's not black because I didn't look for the white rabbit."
......
Wen Cheng followed Wen Qi to the office. Several dishes were already laid out on the coffee table in front of the desk. There were five or six large chicken legs in one bowl, the same braised flavor that Wen Cheng had added to Wen Qi's bowl last time. Wen Cheng couldn't help but smile and her eyes crinkled.
Wen Qi pretended not to see anything and went straight over to sit on the sofa.
Wen Cheng followed closely behind, and just as she picked up her chopsticks to start eating, Wen Qi's phone rang.
Wen Qi frowned slightly, then stood up.
"You eat first, I'll go answer this phone call," Wen Qi thought for a moment, then added, "It's a call from a business partner."
Wen Cheng: What's with this inexplicable feeling of husbands reporting to their wives for information?
After watching Wen Qi leave, Wen Cheng thought about the question for three seconds before putting it aside and starting to eat seriously.
While eating, Wen Cheng casually scrolled through her phone and noticed a flurry of pop-up messages in the group chat that Gu Yuning had added her to. Out of curiosity, Wen Cheng clicked on the link and found that the source of the conversation was a link.
Below were all comments like "So exciting! So cute! I want to pet it!" As the saying goes, curiosity really can kill a cat. Wen Cheng couldn't resist her curiosity and clicked on it. It was a text file, so Wen Cheng started reading it while munching on a big chicken leg.
[Title: The Cold-Hearted CEO and His Grey-Boy Security Guard]
Wen Cheng laughed at the beginning; the title sounded just like some novel advertisements. But in order to better engage with the following topic, Wen Cheng still read on with great interest.
The story is about a domineering CEO who has never liked anyone in his 27 years of life, until a new security guard joins his company. The guard is soft and sweet-looking and greets everyone very politely. Although he is not in a high position, everyone in the company likes him. One day, when the CEO returned from a business trip, he saw the guard, who didn't know his identity, but greeted him sincerely. His cute appearance made the CEO fall in love at first sight, and he took the guard to his private elevator.
Then she pinned the security guard against the wall at the elevator entrance and asked in a hoarse voice, "Man, why do you make my heart flutter so much?"
Pfft!
Wen Cheng couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh. This kind of president was not aloof and cold at all; he was probably just a fool.
Despite thinking this way, Wen Cheng continued reading.
The security guard was terrified and couldn't help but burst into tears in the elevator. The CEO panicked and could only fiercely wipe away his tears with his seven-figure suit. The security guard was completely moved by the CEO's sincerity and couldn't help but fall for him.
