One day, an investor names Ding Manman as the chief designer of the project. Thinking that she finally has a chance to display her abilities and talents, Ding accepts it without any hesitation. Meanwhile, Bai Beiwang volunteers to be Ding’s assistant, which is a means to get close to Zhong Shaoting.
Ding Manman and Bai Beiwang cooperate well at work. Using her design talents, Ding Manman always comes up with all sorts of good ideas and she insists that a soft fire makes sweet malt. On the contrary, Bai Beiwang, who is better at executing, can easily coordinate the tasks of various departments.
In general, the two new employees, who have just taken up their posts, shouldn’t be assigned such a heavy workload, but the partner, after smelling a hint of ambiguous relationship between Zhong Shaoting and Ding Manman, asks to add in investment, which turns the originally small project into a big and significant project.
Therefore, Zhong Shaoting wants to call off the project, but after seeing Ding’s determination and perseverance, and her desire for a challenge for so long, he decides to be on her side instead of interfering in this project.
At eight in the evening, Zhong’s company goes quiet. Only Ding Manman and Bai Beiwang are left inside the office where they are still working diligently.
At that moment, Bai Beiwang takes a cup of coffee and walks up to Ding Manman who is concentrating on her work and asks, “When are you going to take a break?”
Bai Beiwang has a better understanding of the little girl. Originally, she thought Ding was just a canary raised in the boudoir who had a mind of her own, but now she is impressed by Ding’s perseverance, kindness, and intelligence.
“Until everything is done.” Without looking up, Ding Manman glares at the problematic parts of the design paper and continues to ponder over how to make them perfect.
When the door is gently pushed open, Bai Beiwang looks up to see Zhong Shaoting walking in with a sullen face, while Ding Manman is completely unaware of this danger approaching her. It seems that Zhong is a devil and Ding is an angel in contrast.
Bai Beiwang wants to laugh, and makes a sound to warn Ding Manman, but when she notices Zhon”s face that turns even more livid, she keeps her mouth shut and stands by to see what Zhong Shaoting is going to do.
“Work so hard, so I’m rewarding you with a day off, and you won’t have to come to the company tomorrow.” Zhong Shaoting says in a business-like tone.
Instead of feeling happy to hear the news, Ding Manman says reluctantly, “my work is very stressful right now, and I want to delay my vacation.”
They two’s conversation makes Bai open her mouth wide in surprise, and she doesn’t expect that Ding Manman fails to realize the person who is here is Zhong Shaoting. How attentive she is!
The air is heavy between them. From Bai’s perspective, it seems that the Death with a scythe holding high standing in front of Ding Manman’s desk, while the girl who is hard at work doesn’t take a look at the Death.
“You’re so pretty, and you should have your own life. Don’t you need to spend time with your boyfriend, like me?” Zhong Shaoting tries to keep calm and asks patiently.
“I don’t have a boyfriend, and I have no one to keep me company.” Ding Manman replies and at this time she finally figures out how to modify the design paper. She is about to do it, only to hear her desk being slammed with a loud noise.
The sound really gives Ding Manman, who is immersed in her work, a little shake. She looks up to see Zhong Shaoting’s eyes which seem to spit fire combined with his cold and steely appearance, which makes him a little frightening yet very fascinating.
This makes Ding unable to get angry and she says with a smile, “So you’re here already. I’m working, working hard for your company. Eh… you shouldn’t be angry with me.”
“Who wants you to labor hard for my company!” Zhong Shaoting frowns and snorts. There are so many staff in the company to labor, but he just wants to make Ding Manman happy and spend more time with him.
“Since you’ve said so, I’ll take a break from work for a while.” Ding Manman says cautiously. Then, she gets up from her seat and stretches herself before sitting back down again and getting ready to start work.
Bai Beiwang, who is sandwiched between the two, looks pale. As a watchful and alert girl, she feels suffocated in the air surrounding Zhong Shaoting.
It is supposed that no one in this world, except for Ding Manman, will be able to survive in such a subdued atmosphere for too long.
Seeing that Ding Manman continues working, Zhong Shaoting tips Bai Beiwang a wink to signal her out, and he bends down and whispers softly in Ding’s ear, “Your immediate boss is looking for you for something.”
Such serious, but provocative words make Ding Manman, such a workaholic, inevitably move a little. She raises her head, just looking into Zhong’s watery eyes, and she feels like a dream at the moment.
“What is it?” In keeping with the principle of fewer words and fewer mistakes, Ding Manman replies as briefly as possible so as to keep her absent-mindedness unnoticed.
“It’s time to go home, and I’ve been waiting for so long.” Zhong Shaoting says seriously, and continues the next sentence in his mind: I want a workplace subterfuge, an office romance and ….
Any man may feel a tremendous lust towards Ding Manman at the sight of her adorable appearance!
Ding Manman once worked in Fang Hao’s company, and had an unpleasant experience. Now she really doesn’t want to leave here because she cherishes the opportunity to exert her talents in such a good work environment. Before her refusal, Zhong Shaoting has already packed up her things and left in big strides before her.
Ding Manman has no choice but to follow Zhong and walks out. When she sees Bai Beiwang who is still waiting at the door, she says, “Beiwang, it’s so late, and I’m afraid that I can’t accompany you to work overtime. Why don’t you go home first?”
“I’m afraid not. This project must be discussed in the meeting tomorrow. Let’s go back to your home together and finish it off.” Bai Beiwang says sincerely, and tries to fend off Zhong’s murderous gaze that could almost kill someone.
Although Ding Manman is still very diligent in her work back home, Zhong Shaoting feels much more relieved.
The two girls work like this until eleven o’clock. Zhong Shaoting cannot bear to see that Ding Manman doesn’t take her body seriously, so he is about to persuade them to rest. He hears them talking inside the room.
“Manman, I’m so scared to come back home now, it’s so late.” It’s Bai Beiwang’s voice. She speaks so in grievance as if she were about to cry. “My parents will definitely scold me if they see me going back home so late, and if they are already asleep, I will wake them up.”
