Rhythm Gym.

"Yes, right there. It's sore and hurts."

"Ah, Sister Wen Ruan, your technique is amazing. You're truly a professional."

"Thank you, Sister. I feel much better now."

Tang Song was half-lying on a gym bench, with Wen Ruan's small hands gently massaging his abdomen.

It was his first time enjoying such treatment, and as he looked at her enchanting face and her full chest, he couldn't calm his racing heart.

"Alright, that's it for today. I have to head to work now." Wen Ruan stood up, put on her loose jacket, picked up the orange gift bag, and winked at him, "Bye-bye, little brother."

"Bye-bye."

Wen Ruan's steps became lighter as she left the gym, and her mood soared.

"Ding—" The elevator doors slowly opened.

At the door, her colleague Zhong Ying, holding a cup of coffee, frowned and stepped aside.

Wen Ruan paused for a moment before stepping in.

The elevator stopped and started several times before finally arriving at the 15th floor.

As she stepped out, Zhong Ying quickened her pace to catch up, smiling, "Sister Wen Ruan, going to the third-floor gym again? You've been working out a lot lately! But, as we get older, it's important to exercise more."

Wen Ruan turned slightly, looking at her, and said calmly, "Yingying, you should work out more, too. Your body is so scrawny. And remember to take care of your skin—don't skimp on spending money on it. Those bags under your eyes are getting hard to cover with makeup. No wonder people aren't interested in you."

Wen Ruan was sensitive about her age, and Zhong Ying's comments quickly soured her mood.

What an idiot. She failed to woo Director Wang, who has bad breath, and now she's resentful towards me.

Wen Ruan had no interest in getting entangled with Wang Liyu and didn't even want to talk about it.

Zhong Ying gritted her teeth, "You should worry about yourself. You're about to become an old maid."

By now, they had reached the office area.

Wen Ruan glanced at her and hugged the gift bag to her chest, smiling, "My boyfriend just gave me a little gift."

Her voice wasn't too loud or soft, but just enough for the nearby colleagues to hear.

A few close coworkers immediately perked up, asking curiously.

"Wen Ruan, you have a boyfriend? Since when?"

"What gift did he give you?"

Zhong Ying was stunned but secretly pleased.

If Wen Ruan is in a relationship, Director Wang might finally give up on her!

Thinking of this, she forced a smile, "Congratulations, Sister Wen Ruan, on finally finding a boyfriend after all these years. He must be quite impressive, right?"

Wen Ruan smiled, "He's alright. He's a 25-year-old young wolf, has his own business, and serves as a large company's CTO."

Zhong Ying snorted, "Sister Wen Ruan, isn't that a bit exaggerated? A 25-year-old CTO of a large company? That's hard to believe! And he runs his own business? I'd love to see it."

"Believe what you want." Wen Ruan placed the gift bag on her desk and started unwrapping it.

"Let's see, what's inside?" A female colleague nearby leaned over, and her eyes widened, "Wow! An LV bag?"

The other women immediately gathered around.

Their eyes turned green with envy.

"That's so extravagant!"

"When will you introduce us to your boyfriend, Wen Ruan?"

"When there's a chance. He's really busy." Wen Ruan casually replied as she carefully took out the SPEEDY 35, placing it in front of her to admire.

The more she looked at it, the more she liked it!

Even Zhong Ying couldn't help but glance over and see the signature LV logo and the beautiful bag.

She bit her lip hard and angrily returned to her desk.

...

Changyun Media.

Li Xinghui hurried over and asked in a low voice, "Liting, are you resigning?"

He Liting nodded, "Yes, I've already submitted my resignation."

"Have you found another job?"

"Kind of."

Li Xinghui quickly tried to persuade her, "Graduation season is just around the corner, and it's hard to find a job right now. Changyun Media isn't bad—at least the pay is stable, and there's room for promotion. You might not be valued at a new company, and it could be difficult to build up an account. It's too risky."

He liked this girl and figured it would be hard to see her again if she left the company.

He finally invited her to a rooftop barbecue, but it didn't go as planned. He was hoping to ask her out again soon.

He Liting shook her head, "The work here is just too exhausting. I have no personal time, and I can't keep it up."

As for whether the new company would value them, He Liting felt confident.

All six of them had signed a lawyer engagement contract during lunch today.

The new boss had hired professional lawyers to help them recover their bonuses and smoothly resign without them having to spend a penny.

It was incredibly generous!

Her impression of the new boss, whom she hadn't yet met, was extremely favorable.

Seeing how determined she was, Li Xinghui didn't push any further.

"Alright then, take care."

"Mm-hmm."

After watching Li Xinghui leave, He Liting quickly opened WeChat to check for new messages.

[Liu Renjie: "Everyone, get ready. Our legal aid is arriving downstairs soon!"]**

He Liting's heart skipped a beat, and she felt excited.

She exchanged glances with her colleagues and quickly stepped out.

The six gathered on the left side of the hallway, quietly discussing the resignation situation, their eyes frequently drifting toward the elevator.

After waiting a few minutes, the elevator doors opened.

One by one, a group of six people stepped out.

Leading the way were three middle-aged men who exuded an imposing presence.

They were dressed in dark suits, with meticulously groomed hair and ties. They carried brown leather briefcases, their expressions solemn and composed.

The waiting employees exchanged glances, shocked by the formality of the situation.

He Liting whispered, "Brother Liu, is that them? Why are there so many of them?"

"It's them. Assistant Zhang is following behind," Hou Yan quietly reminded her.

The others also noticed the handsome young man trailing behind—he was the assistant lawyer who had helped them sign the contracts at lunchtime.

Liu Renjie nervously stepped forward, "Hello, I'm Liu Renjie. We spoke on the phone earlier."

The lead lawyer smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Yue Wensheng, one of your legal representatives."

Liu Renjie quickly shook his hand, feeling more at ease, "Thank you so much for your help."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Liu Renjie asked quietly, "Lawyer Yue, can we get our bonuses back?"

Yue Wensheng nodded, "It's possible based on the evidence you've provided. It's just a matter of time. We'll follow up on this until compensation is paid."

"Thank you."

"Thank you so much."

Yue Wensheng continued, "There's also the matter of overtime pay, but we'll need proof that the company required it. We'll do our best to fight for it, but our priority is ensuring you all resign as quickly as possible."

Their main task was to help the six employees resign smoothly, using the bonus and overtime pay claims to pressure the company into compliance.

When He Liting and the others heard "overtime pay," their hearts raced.

They were unfamiliar with the term, having never seen overtime pay since starting work at the company.

Given the intensity of their work, the potential overtime pay was likely a substantial amount.

"Alright, let's get to business." Yue Wensheng led the way into the building.

The receptionist quickly stood up as they entered, glancing between Liu Renjie's group and the six sharply dressed lawyers.

"Hello, may I help you?"

"Click, click—" The briefcases were opened.

Six envelopes were placed on the reception desk, each bearing the emblem of the law firm and stamped with a red seal.

In a deep, authoritative tone, Yue Wensheng said, "Hello, we're lawyers from Quanjing Law Firm. These are legal notices from our clients to your company."

The receptionist was startled and nervously replied, "Please wait a moment. I'll contact my supervisor."

She quickly ran to the office, not daring to make any decisions herself. Once the notices were signed, they would be legally effective.

After a short wait, the company's HR Vice President, Han Yuping, hurried over.

She glanced at Liu Renjie and the others, then picked up the legal notices from the desk, her expression darkening, "Please, let's discuss this in the meeting room."

Yue Wensheng nodded, his face expressionless.

Their footsteps echoed in the hallway as the group of over ten became the center of attention for the company's employees.

Everyone was especially curious about what had happened with Liu Renjie and his team.
