Now, with Anying by his side, everything indeed feels as efficient as a tiger growing wings, every task undertaken is like a fish in water, and no longer does he feel the discomfort he used to before.

As noon approached, Ye Chen received a phone call, and this call gave him a rather strange feeling.

The caller was none other than Jin Ling, whom he had just met this morning.

"Hello, President Jin, what's up? Is there an issue?"

"Oh, President Ye, I've run into some problems and I wanted to consult you about them. You handle security work, right?"

"Oh sure, ask me whatever you like, just go ahead."

"Look, could you come to my office? I'd like to discuss it with you in person, it's a bit inconvenient over the phone."

"Alright, I got it, I'll be right there."

After hanging up, Ye Chen felt a sense of unease. What exactly does this woman want to do?

In the morning, she said nothing, and now she suddenly brings this up near noon—could it be she still has some tricks up her sleeve?

Regardless, the call had been made, and Ye Chen was certainly not the type to back down.

So, he left his office and then headed for the elevator to the 26th floor.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he ran into Huang Guosheng, who seemed somewhat bewildered by Ye Chen's sudden appearance.

"Why have you come here? Are you looking for me? Is there something you need?"

It seemed that Huang Guosheng sensed that Ye Chen had only just joined the company, after all, most people there didn't know him.

"Oh no, President Jin just called me. She said there's an issue she'd like to consult me about, so I hurried over."

"President Jin, Jin Ling?"

"Yes, that's her."

"What does she want from you?"

"I'm not sure either, she just called me and said to discuss it in person once I got here."

"Let me tell you, be cautious around this woman. She's a seductress and a little carelessness might lead you into her trap. Plenty have fallen for her ploys before, understand?"

"President Huang, what...what do you mean by that?"

After hearing these words, Ye Chen indeed felt puzzled.

What did he mean by falling into her trap?

Could it be that this woman is not as straightforward as she seems?

There's no animosity between us, why would they set a trap for me, especially since we've only known each other for a few hours?

"There are some things I can't say here, but you'll understand once you get to know her, trust me, brother. Just take care of yourself."

Huang Guosheng didn't explain much, he just patted Ye Chen on the shoulder and then walked straight into the elevator.

After the elevator doors closed, Ye Chen stood there, dumbfounded, for quite some time.

Although he had only met Jin Ling briefly, he could tell this woman surely had the charm to bewitch anyone, rivaling that of anyone else.

But to go so far as to entice him? Ye Chen felt this surely couldn't be as simple as he imagined.

Regardless of what the situation might be, and even if a woman like her were to deploy a Beauty Trap against him, Ye Chen believed that with his willpower, it wouldn't be a problem for him.

What could Anying possibly do to him? She's also truly beautiful, and had been very sexy at their first meeting, yet she had also been tamed by Ye Chen.

When he reached the door, Ye Chen tidied up his suit a bit before gently knocking.

"Coming, coming, just a moment."

He heard Jin Ling's voice wafting from inside, along with what sounded like a frantic rhythm, not sure what she was fussing over.

After about a minute, she finally opened the door.

He saw the woman still dressed as she was in the morning, yet with what seemed to be somewhat disheveled hair.

What could she have possibly been busy with alone in there just now?

"Oh, sorry to make you come all this way."

"No, it's nothing, what's the matter, President Jin? If there's something, just let me know."

Even here, Ye Chen had not intended to go inside. Since he had already come to the door, was there really a need to enter the woman's room in order to resolve the matter?

However, at this moment, he could clearly smell the unique scent of perfume coming from her.

"Come in, what are you standing at the door for? Besides, it's not like I can just let you in and talk to you from the doorway, come on, hurry in."

With that, the woman stepped aside, and Ye Chen slipped past her, careful to avoid any physical contact. People like her, especially since Huang Guosheng had already explicitly warned him, he'd dodge if at all possible.

Once inside the room, he only turned around to glance. He found the furnishings in this office to be distinctly different from the others.

If someone said this was a woman's office, there would be no doubt in believing them, and everything in the room had an ambiance of ambiguity.

He didn't know what could be the cause for that—perhaps it was the lighting? He glanced at the light source, but didn't notice any significant change.

After all, he wasn't there to examine these things, so he should quickly change the subject to see what she really wanted.

"By the way, what was it you wanted to discuss, President Jin?"

"Don't rush, you've just arrived, and we haven't gotten to know each other properly yet. What would you like? Coffee, soda, or tea?"

"That's alright, you don't need to be so formal, President Jin, just command me if you have any requests."
