The sunlight illuminated the curtains in Chu Ge's bedroom. He opened his eyes but still felt a bit drowsy, wanting to sleep a little longer.

However, today was his first day on the job as Qin Ruojing's driver, and he couldn't afford to be late, so he lazily got out of bed.

After all, Qin Ruojing was his boss, and since they met, she had been pretty nice to him all along. Moreover, he had to live up to the salary, right?

Originally, he wanted Tong Yaqi to sleep a little longer, but when he turned his head to look, she was already gone from the bed. As he got out, he saw Tong Yaqi, fully dressed, coming out of the bathroom.

"Why are you up so early? I'm still tired. If you're sleepy, go back to sleep for a while. I'll make breakfast and call you," Chu Ge said with a smile to Tong Yaqi.

Although it was summer, the morning was still a bit chilly. When Tong Yaqi heard Chu Ge's gentle voice, a wave of warmth surged through her heart, as if her body warmed up as well.

Moreover, she had always been the one getting up early to make breakfast for Sui Liang, and she had never experienced such care.

She couldn't help but think of the little story Chu Ge told her yesterday. Yes, from now on, she wouldn't rely on anything else for emotional support; believing in herself was better than believing in the heavens, the earth, Buddha, ghosts, or anything else.

Even though Tong Yaqi felt this way, hearing Chu Ge speak like that, her heart couldn't help but feel a bit warmer, relying a little more on Chu Ge. She even secretly thought how nice it would have been if she had met Chu Ge earlier.

As the saying goes, "It takes more than one cold day to freeze three feet of ice"; even if Tong Yaqi's mindset changed, it couldn't change completely all at once. Some things really needed time to change gradually.

"Why should I trouble the Emperor with such menial tasks? You should rest more, let me handle it," Tong Yaqi said with a smile, giving Chu Ge a curtsy that looked quite convincing.

Seeing Tong Yaqi's gesture, Chu Ge couldn't help but be amused. He arrogantly made a "rise" hand gesture, then scratched his head. "Let's cook together, when men and women work together, it's less tiring."

Tong Yaqi nodded and went to the kitchen with Chu Ge. Cooking was no problem for her. Although she usually didn't like to cook, especially after the divorce when she almost never did, her cooking skills hadn't been lost. Once you know something, it's hard to forget.

After breakfast, Tong Yaqi drove Chu Ge to the Huafu Garden District. She made some jokes about relying on Chu Ge's care in the future, gave him a few friendly reminders, and then drove away.

Watching Tong Yaqi's Chevrolet drive off, remembering her saying "Don't be nervous in front of the chairman," he couldn't help but find it amusing.

Nervous? He had never been nervous with Qin Ruojing. Instead, his unconventional behavior with her parents in Kyoto had really made Qin Ruojing nervous.

When Chu Ge arrived at Qin Ruojing's doorstep, she happened to be leaving, and they came face to face.

"Good morning, Chairman," Chu Ge greeted with a smile.

Looking at Chu Ge with a peculiar gaze, Qin Ruojing sniffed, "Didn't do anything good last night, huh? Off having fun with Director Tong again?"

Being hit right on the spot by Qin Ruojing, Chu Ge couldn't help but be speechless. How had he never noticed how keen her sense of smell was?

But since Qin Ruojing knew about his situation with Tong Yaqi, he just smiled nonchalantly.

Seeing Chu Ge admit it, Qin Ruojing felt a little displeased in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

"So, what's going on with you and Director Tong? She's a newly divorced woman, which isn't easy. Since you've been with her, you shouldn't let her down easily."

Hearing Qin Ruojing's words, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel speechless, "Chairman, with you so busy every day, shouldn't you leave our employees' private lives for us to manage?"

"What? Judging by your appearance, you don't intend to eat and run, do you? Director Tong is not only an excellent executive director but also my friend. If you really do something to bully her, I won't forgive you."

Chu Ge helplessly smiled, offering a few perfunctory responses while feeling genuinely happy for Tong Yaqi. Just for Qin Ruojing saying such things, Tong Yaqi's admiration was justified.

Where could one find a boss like this?

After a few words on the topic of Tong Yaqi, Qin Ruojing handed the keys of the Audi A8 to Chu Ge.

Once in the car, Qin Ruojing didn't sit in the "boss seat" in the back but habitually sat in the front passenger seat. On their way to the Tianjiao Building, she asked a few questions about how Chu Ge's handover went yesterday and then dozed off in the car.

When Chu Ge drove the Audi A8 to the entrance of the Tianjiao Building, Qin Ruojing's designated parking spot, he got out first like a professional driver and opened the car door for her.

After all, this is in front of the Tianjiao Building, surrounded by Tianjiao employees. If someone saw Qin Ruojing opening her car door herself, it would seem a bit inappropriate.

As Chu Ge stepped out of the Audi A8, a few Tianjiao employees nearby who were about to greet Qin Ruojing were stunned. They subconsciously glanced at the car license plate again to confirm it and started to quietly size up Chu Ge.

In their memory, this Audi A8 of the chairman has always been driven by her personally, right? So why did a man suddenly emerge from her car?

It wasn't until Qin Ruojing stepped out from the passenger seat that these Tianjiao employees regained their composure. They looked at Chu Ge with surprise and envy while quickly greeting Qin Ruojing.

Qin Ruojing smiled and nodded at these Tianjiao employees, handed her bag to Chu Ge, and then called out to him, "Shall we?"

Chu Ge was taken aback, "Go? Where to?"

"To my office."

Chu Ge was a bit puzzled. What was he going to do in Qin Ruojing's office?

She had previously expressed dissatisfaction when he didn't attend the basketball team's training camp. Now, with the basketball league of the corporate games approaching, didn't he need to practice? Or did Qin Ruojing still need the car later?

Although Chu Ge was quite confused, there were several pairs of eyes watching him, so he didn't ask much. He locked the car and followed Qin Ruojing into the Tianjiao Building.

This made the nearby Tianjiao employees who witnessed the scene even more surprised and envious. It looked like this person was really the chairman's driver? Could it be that he would be able to stay in the same office with the chairman from now on?

If that were the case, this person must be extraordinary. If there's ever a chance in the future, they must make sure to get along well with him!

Under countless envious gazes, Chu Ge carried Qin Ruojing's bag and walked into the Tianjiao Building with her.

Chu Ge was honestly speechless about these surrounding gazes. He was just helping Qin Ruojing carry a bag and heading upstairs with her. Did they really need to look at him with such envy as if he'd struck gold?

Entering Qin Ruojing's office, Chu Ge closed the door and puzzledly asked, "Chairman, you're not having me attend the basketball training camp anymore?"

Seeing Chu Ge's puzzled expression, Qin Ruojing rubbed her forehead, amused, and said, "Considering what happened yesterday was a rare occurrence, you caused such a big scene when you showed up, almost turning that player from the Liger Group into a fool. Heaven knows what kind of nonsense might ensue if I let you go again. How would I dare let you go back?"

Chu Ge was also speechless, "Come on, it was the guys from the Liger Group who came over to provoke, okay? I didn't beg him to come play basketball with me."

Qin Ruojing shook her head, "Regardless of the process, I only saw the result. That young guy from the Liger Group looked like a zombie when he left, clearly suffering an extremely serious blow."

Chu Ge laughed, "He deserved it. Before we played, he even made a bet with me. The fact that I didn't make him leave after stripping was a huge favor."

Qin Ruojing waved her hand, "No need for you to go to the training camp or the basketball league in the future. You're now my driver and secretary. This will be your office. That's final."

Though Qin Ruojing's tone allowed no room for refutation and carried a hint of dissatisfaction, her words warmed Chu Ge's heart, as he immediately heard the underlying concern.

Clearly, Qin Ruojing was worried about him getting into trouble because of the basketball incident with Zhang Hao yesterday, fearing retaliation from the other party.

In her own way, Qin Ruojing was protecting him, as usual—tough on the outside and soft on the inside. Just like she used to with Qin Ruoying, acting critical while actually caring deeply.

Although Qin Ruojing's concerns were clearly unnecessary since Chu Ge didn't mind such matters at all, since Qin Ruojing had said it, he didn't argue. He just smiled slightly and sat down on the sofa in Qin Ruojing's office.

Having settled this matter, Qin Ruojing personally made a call, and soon someone knocked on the door to deliver a brand new set of office desks and chairs, along with a computer, file racks, and other office supplies for Chu Ge.

Whether it was the computer, or the desks and chairs, or any other office supplies, it was evident they were all top-tier, even more comprehensive and high-end than what Ji Songtao had in his minister's office.

After all, it was something personally ordered by the chairman. Who dared to slack off or make any delays after receiving her instructions?

Simultaneously, the news of the chairman finally arranging for a secretary and driver spread like a whirlwind throughout the Tianjiao Building, like a stone thrown into a calm lake causing ripples.

Almost everyone was utterly surprised by this news, discussing it both openly and secretly.
