After hanging up the phone, Pu Zhicheng's face didn't look good.

His daughter was anxious beside him.

"Dad, how did it go? Is he coming or not?"

"He said he wants to stay with his family, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Pu Xue was so angry she almost wanted to smash the cup in her hand.

"Stay with them for what? It's definitely that tigress at home not letting him out. For such a big man like Yue, he really gives face to his shrew of a wife. He's probably resentful inside."

Pu Zhicheng glanced at her, "From the tone on the phone, Yue didn't sound unwilling. Daughter, maybe we should just drop this. If it works out, great. If not, it'll be a big embarrassment."

Pu Xue was not willing; she had her eye on Yue Jiandong for quite a while.

Pu Zhicheng also grew up in the village, and was practically part of the second batch of people following Yue Jiandong.

He got rich early, moved to the city, and brought his daughter along.

Pu Xue lost her mother at a young age, and Pu Zhicheng was too busy working to care.

Feeling guilty, he thought throwing money at it was enough for peace of mind.

Under excessive indulgence and spoiling, Pu Xue's temperament grew crooked, unwilling to study further after finishing nine years of compulsory education.

She hung out with a dubious crowd every day, developing skewed values.

She had heard her father mention Yue Jiandong since she was little, and in her mind, that man was both wealthy and had outstanding Ability.

He was someone even her dad admired.

Unbeknownst to her, Pu Xue's mind began scheming, wanting to find a way to pull that man under her skirt.

Since her father got wealthy early, Pu Xue grew up never needing to do any work, becoming someone who could be described as idle and delicate.

She had good skin and was at the prime of youth, enough to be called a beauty if she went out.

Pu Xue thought this was enough to snare him. Just ask, can a man resist a young girl twenty years his junior?

Initially, Pu Zhicheng didn't support his daughter's idea. Admiring his boss was one thing, but it didn't mean he could accept his boss behaving like an old bull eating young grass.

Yet Pu Xue was headstrong, always talking about pursuing love and freedom.

Whenever he tried to talk her out of it, she cried, saying she never experienced a mother's love since young, and Pu Zhicheng was too obsessed with money to be with her.

That's why she lacked paternal love and now liked an older man like Yue Jiandong.

Her crying gave Pu Zhicheng headaches, leaving him helpless.

Feeling guilty, he had no choice but to agree and even help her think of ways.

Never once considering that if he didn't work hard, there wouldn't be enough money at home for Pu Xue to act out.

A few days ago, they had a plan they were sure would succeed. Who could have guessed that Yue Jiandong would wake up at the last moment?

In the end, it was ruined.

But Pu Xue, full of schemes, came up with a new trick.

She promised to stir things up between the two of them, so she could take advantage.

This trick she learned from an elder sister who successfully secured a position.

Just put a lipstick in the passenger seat, and it caused turmoil.

An originally unattainable boss was won over.

The innocent and pure vibe was practically textbook level.

To achieve this goal, Pu Xue found ways to get into the company.

She was only going in as a minor clerk, and with her dad's influence, the HR department quickly approved.

Yue Jiandong wasn't too concerned; it wasn't an important position anyway.

Since Pu Zhicheng had been an old employee, taking care of his child was expected, setting an example for others.

After joining, Pu Xue devised ways to approach Yue Jiandong, like running into him at the entrance, offering homemade cookies, and expressing gentle and thoughtful concern.

She severely underestimated Yue Jiandong's sensitivity in this regard.

Being a solid straight man, Yue Jiandong didn't think much about it.

Encountering Pu Xue at the entrance, he reminded her not to be late and to follow company rules.

He treated the cookies as juniors' gesture of respect, immediately distributing them to several office assistants, saying he wasn't used to such western style snacks.

As for the gentle and thoughtful concern, Yue Jiandong didn't say much but turned around to ask Pu Zhicheng.

Is your daughter not focused on her work? Or is it a hint that the tasks assigned are too light?

How does she have free time to worry about these unnecessary things?
