The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

Hai Fu is said to have been at the Paradise Group for ten years, from a branch office to the headquarters, from an employee to a director, boasting a stellar reputation, and her sharpness and dedication to the public good have earned Zhang Tianyi and Zhang Yurong's trust and respect.

Because she is always dressed in a black suit, with black-rimmed glasses, her keen eyes always exuding a murderous aura, making people nervous even when nothing is happening, and once there's an issue, if you encounter her, she will inevitably hurt you with words that cut to the bone, her words as sharp as knives. Behind her back, people nickname her—"Master Extinction"!

It's said that once, before a high-level meeting, Hai Fu asked an admin department clerk for some materials, and that girl respectfully handed them over, but because she was too nervous, she blurted out "Master, here's the material you asked for," Hai Fu said nothing, just stared at her for a while, already scaring her into a panic. By the time Hai Fu returned from the meeting, the girl had already prepared her resignation letter, too scared to hand it to her directly, sending it to HR instead.

Li Yan heard this story from Sun Hui, and he heard it when he first arrived. The pressure exerted by Master Extinction at headquarters can be seen in this instance. As for whether Hai Fu is a beauty, it seems no one discusses it, since almost no one dares to stare at her and examine her closely, no one is interested in learning about the appearance of Master Extinction.

...

Sun Hui is also afraid of Hai Fu the Master, but he fears Zhang Yurong more. Because previously with Li Yan, there was a suspicion of abusing the position to flirt, more so caught on the spot by Zhang Yurong and Ke Yunyun. Luckily Wen Qianyi's business capabilities were exceptional, making him feel lucky to have dodged a bullet, yet he remains anxious.

Now there's again the suspicion of flirting during work hours, again together with Li Yan, he worries it will trigger Miss Zhang's memory, thus leading to punishment for both offenses, lamenting in his heart: Heaven's conscience, I haven't done anything! I swear, I absolutely can't be caught flirting at the company with Li Yan in the future!

Li Yan also sighed in his heart, Sun Hui is too unlucky and too shady, with him around, it's easy to get caught up in undeserved trouble.

He hasn't had direct contact with Hai Fu either, only occasionally bumped into her, most of what he knows comes from admin department's Liu Feng, Fan Siwen, and Sun Hui. So now facing Hai Fu's questioning, he doesn't feel pressured. Instead, seeing Zhang Yurong, due to not returning home last night, he feels somewhat uneasy.

"To be precise, there are still a few minutes before work starts, standing there is not an issue. Besides, no one is interrupting anyone's work, on the contrary, people are passing on notices, doing work before business hours. And this will result in deduction of bonuses?" Li Yan, not being from the admin department, isn't worried about the bonus issue, responding directly.

The reception girls, all managed by the admin department, faced with Hai Fu, are too frightened to speak up. Previously blocked by the two, Chen Xiaoen sees clearly as they approach, knowing one is the admin director, the other is the group president, becomes anxious about leaving a bad impression on Zhang Yurong, and implicating Li Yan and the others.

Upon hearing Li Yan's words, the lowered head Sun Hui reluctantly raises his head to explain, "Yes, I passed here and took the opportunity to notify this new employee to go to HR to complete the remaining procedures."

Behind the black-rimmed glasses, Hai Fu stared at Sun Hui for a while, making him uncomfortable, sensing anxiety and fear in him, unlike someone lying, then her gaze shifted to Li Yan who wasn't afraid of her.

"And you? Who are you? What are you standing here for? There are a few minutes left, are you sure you'll be able to appear in the office on time after waiting for the elevator? Still in the mood to watch the spectacle here?"

Originally other colleagues were walking slower to watch Master Extinction lose her temper, hearing the last sentence, they shuddered and quickly left.

Li Yan nodded, responded seriously, "Who I am isn't important, nor is what I'm doing here. What's important is that we were originally able to appear in the office on time, but due to some unreasonable obstruction, we may not make it..."

"What did you say?!" Hai Fu's voice raised a few notches.

"Master, I didn't accuse you… Oh no, President Hai, I didn't accuse you." Li Yan replies lowly but politely.

This quickly escalates Hai Fu's anger, while Sun Hui's legs turn limp hearing this, done for... done for... Boss, even if you're not admin department, don't call her Master right to her face...

Seeing the situation about to escalate, Zhang Yurong lets out a cold snort, and immediately, the atmosphere seems to cool by several degrees!

Because ordinary employees rarely have the chance to interact with Zhang Yurong, more so they hold a reverential fear towards her, viewing her as a distant ice goddess. Whereas Hai Fu is the one they face with the power of life over death as Master Extinction, so when Hai Fu vocally expresses herself, the reception girls fear her more, now hearing Zhang Yurong's cold snort, they remember this president rarely punishes minor employees but when she does, it's at least managers and above!

"Everyone back to work! You two, explain to your boss yourselves, by ten o'clock, I want to see the outcome from your boss!"

After Zhang Yurong spoke, she turned and headed towards the elevators. Hai Fu felt quite gratified, these two aren't her direct subordinates, but now the president personally intervenes, clearly backing her up!

Seeing them leave, Sun Hui muttered with a bitter smile, "Year not favorable... I should go buy a pair of red underwear to ward off bad luck."

Li Yan dragged him along towards the elevator while chuckling, "Maybe wear it on your head, then you'll look really fierce!"

...

Seeing this, Wen Qianyi found it amusing, grinning as she gloated, "Early morning flirting with the reception girls? And got caught by Hai Fu? Serves you right!"

Even though she hasn't been here long, she's already heard of Master Extinction's reputation, and has experienced Hai Fu's harsh aura.

"Superior, you must communicate." Li Yan said casually.

"Exempt! Miss Zhang said your superior is to be explained to Director Ye. Heh, handle it yourself!" Wen Qianyi finished and unceremoniously assigned more work, "I've reviewed these project books yesterday, but you still need to decide. This aspect just has you doing it, I can't waste time on film investment, the return is still too slow, this investment plan, you take charge, if you don't understand, ask me!"

"Seriously?"

"Indeed!"

Speak of Cao Cao, and he arrives. Ye Jiahong called, asking Li Yan to come over. Under Wen Qianyi's gloating smile, Li Yan left the office, heading to the director's office.

Inside the office, only Ye Jiahong was present, with no expression on his face.

"Close the door."

"Sit."

Li Yan followed orders, waiting for this guy to kick him while he's down.

"Li Yan, you've got guts! Daring to openly defy Master Extinction."

Li Yan's smile faded quickly, and he responded seriously, "Reason goes wherever you want. I was arguing based on logic. Besides, I'm under Director Ye, how could it be her place to order me around? Wouldn't that be disrespecting you? For your sake, even if it offended Master Extinction, I didn't hesitate!"

"Good!" Ye Jiahong cheered loudly, stood up, walked over and vigorously patted Li Yan on the shoulder.

Li Yan was stunned, really? What sort of person is Ye Jiahong, falling for such blatant flattery?

He continued speaking with suppressed excitement in his tone, "Defied her well! I've always wanted to defy her!"

What the hell! Turns out this guy doesn't get along with Hai Fu, and I inadvertently helped him vent. A loss for me...
