As soon as they started running, Feifei felt a bit frustrated. Because they started slightly late, they weren't at the forefront of the participants, but rather in the last position.

Although this was a project where fun outweighed competition, seeing the backs of several pairs ahead, Feifei couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

"Friendship first, competition second" is a complete joke. No matter what the race, who wouldn't want to achieve the best possible ranking?

"Vice Minister Chu, run faster! This is our only event in the Operation Management Department, let's strive for first place!"

Chu Ge smiled slightly, "Okay, let's get first place. Don't worry about me, just run as fast as you can. I'll match you."

Ahead of Chu Ge, a pair of competitors overheard their conversation and couldn't help but turn back, showing an amused expression.

To them, this Vice Minister Chu seemed a bit too boastful. Oh, you want first place and you get it? Do you think the rest of us don't exist?

Their disbelief grew as Feifei nodded, completely trusting Chu Ge, then accelerated her pace as if Chu Ge wasn't there at all, running with all her might.

Seeing this, the pair felt speechless but also found it amusing. What kind of pipe dream were the two dreaming of?

As the saying goes, it's not the god-like opponents you fear, but the pig-like teammates. In a three-legged race, it's all about the coordination between two people, no matter how fast one can run alone. If you don't cooperate with your partner, it's all in vain.

Yet, just as the pair thought Chu Ge and Feifei were delusional and were about to turn back and catch up with the next target, their amused expressions suddenly turned into shock.

They hadn't noticed that Chu Ge and Feifei, who were originally behind them, had overtaken them, and soon realized that Chu Ge's earlier words weren't just bravado?

Chu Ge certainly wasn't bluffing. When he was in the organization, he often partnered with various people. Many times, there wasn't any time or opportunity to become familiar with each other, so he had to adapt to others in the shortest time and make adjustments at any time to ensure harmony with his partner.

He had been through countless life-and-death tests of tacit understanding. What's more, this was just a purely entertainment-based three-legged race?

It was such a trivial matter that he didn't even need to reveal his true capabilities.

With unconditional trust in Chu Ge, Feifei put in full effort, running toward the finish line, and she immediately found that Chu Ge was almost telepathically coordinated with her, fitting together perfectly!

It felt as if they had become part of each other's bodies, seamlessly blended into one.

One pair, two pairs, three pairs...

Soon, all the opponents fell behind, with Chu Ge and Feifei leading the race!

When this scene appeared in everyone's view, the cheering in the stands disappeared, and each person looked like they'd seen a ghost, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets, their mouths wide open, with their jaws practically hitting the floor.

This...what kind of combination is this? How could these two cooperate so seamlessly as if they were one, turning a three-legged race, which is challenging just to avoid falling, into something like a 100-meter sprint experience?

Such fun races like the three-legged race are usually not the main draw, theoretically not attracting the attention of the whole place.

However, at this moment, everyone in the stands was watching Chu Ge and Feifei, even though the most popular 4x100 meter relay race was also happening at the same time in the venue.

On the outer 4x100 meter relay track, several competitors were running with all their might.

Yet when they reached their teammates near the exchange zone, they found their teammates had no intention of receiving the baton, all staring in one direction, almost petrified.

"What are you looking at! Pass the baton!"

A man running with all his strength shouted with a frown, but unfortunately, the other side turned a deaf ear, their expressions unchanged.

He paused, turning his gaze towards that direction as well, and the moment he turned his head, he was taken aback and then showed the same expression as his teammates, subconsciously stopping his running, not even noticing the relay baton dropping to the ground with a "plop."

On the podium, Qin Ruojing was also momentarily stunned. Then she blinked incredulously, taking a full four or five seconds to come back to her senses.

"This guy... how many more times is he going to be so unexpected?"

A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth as Qin Ruojing brushed back her hair, while Tong Yaqi and others beside her remained dumbfounded.

Qin Ruojing lightly knocked on the table in front of Tong Yaqi with her finger. In the silence, the sudden sound made Tong Yaqi snap back to reality.

"Director Tong, your Tianjiao Film and Television really has a talent, huh?" Watching Chu Ge on the field, Qin Ruojing asked very casually.

Ever since that day at the hospital when Qin Ruojing caught her, Tong Yaqi felt a bit embarrassed to face Qin Ruojing.

Although she received an explanation from Chu Ge, sitting next to Qin Ruojing on the podium still felt awkward. Hearing this, she couldn't help but feel that Qin Ruojing seemed to have a hidden meaning in her words.

After a slight hesitation, Tong Yaqi forced a rather unnatural smile and nodded.

"Yeah, Chu Ge is indeed quite surprising. I didn't expect him to be so good at this project."

"Director Tong, he's not just good at this, right?"

Looking at Qin Ruojing's gently smiling profile, Tong Yaqi's expression immediately became more unnatural, but fortunately, Qin Ruojing didn't say anything further.

At the same time, under the eyes of the entire Tianjiao Film and Television company, Feifei and Chu Ge took the lead, crossing the finish line of the three-legged race.

Seeing the silent stands and feeling those utterly shocked looks, Feifei's mood was indescribably good at the moment.

Of course, the reason she felt so exhilarated wasn't just because she became the focus on the field; more importantly, it was because of the incredible feeling of unity she had just experienced during the sprint with Chu Ge.

Feifei's chubby face was flushed, breathing heavily, yet she didn't feel tired at all, only feeling light all over, so excited she could run a few more laps.

"Yay! First!"

Shouting joyfully, Feifei jumped up in excitement, but unfortunately... she forgot that her leg was still tied to Chu Ge's.

As Feifei jumped, Chu Ge's feet were pulled along, stumbling a couple of steps uncontrollably, and his body suddenly lost balance.

Just as he tried to stabilize himself, Chu Ge helplessly discovered that Feifei was swaying even more seriously, about to fall.

Although Chu Ge could completely dodge and find a point to steady himself, with the hard sand ground beneath them, he didn't want Feifei to fall face-first, which could at least scrape her skin or worse.

Having no choice, Chu Ge quickly extended his hands to support Feifei.

"Phew, scared me... Ah!"

Just as Chu Ge hadn't had time to breathe a sigh of relief, Feifei's feet, somehow, completely lost balance. With a scream, her hands instinctively pushed against Chu Ge's shoulders.

Then, the two of them fell together.

"Thud."

The scene quickly turned into the sky above, as Chu Ge's back met the solid earth closely.

Fortunately, as Chu Ge fell, he lowered his head a bit, so his head didn't hit the ground. If it had been the back of his head, even he might have been a bit dazed at this point.

The two of them fell together, and Feifei landed entirely on top of Chu Ge.

This heavy fall hurt a bit, and Chu Ge felt some pain. However, after hitting the ground, he was more worried if Feifei was hurt and quickly asked, "Feifei, are you okay?"

Hearing Chu Ge ask this, Feifei felt a warmth in her heart and hurriedly shook her head, "I'm fine. What about you, Vice Minister Chu, are you okay?"

Just as Feifei's words trailed off, an angry, yelling voice suddenly sounded next to her ear, "Xia Feifei! Get the hell off him! Have you had enough of lying on him?"

The roaring voice came from Yu Zekai, who was walking over from the stands.

As he sounded the angry cry, he didn't stop walking, came to Feifei's side with a stern face, and grabbed her hair, forcefully pulling her off Chu Ge.

Nobody expected such a scene to suddenly unfold at what was supposed to be a pleasant corporate event.

Seeing Feifei in tears from the pain, several men who were originally participating in the three-legged race didn't care about the race anymore. They quickly untied the ropes from their legs, hurried over, and pushed the visibly furious Yu Zekai aside.

"What are you doing?"

"What's going on?"

"Can't you speak properly? Didn't you see this young girl almost fell to the ground?"

Protecting the fairer sex is a common trait among men, especially when the person being bullied is a pretty girl who's both charming and sprightly, looking as exquisite as a Barbie doll. Several male employees glared angrily at Yu Zekai.

"All of you get the hell away from me. I'm telling you, don't meddle in my relationship with my girlfriend. What does it have to do with you? Try touching me, I dare you."

Despite being outnumbered, Yu Zekai showed no signs of intimidation, snorted coldly, pushed aside the man closest to him, and pointed at the group, tauntingly.

Because he knew the people he had called were about to arrive.
