Gently pushing open the door, he didn't make a sound.

Lin Hai saw Ouyang Xiaoya focused intently at her desk, meticulously writing something.

The deeply immersed expression on Ouyang Xiaoya's face had an indescribably charming aura.

Consciously, Lin Hai imagined: It would be great if the CEO's wife could be this focused while performing oral skills in the future bridal chamber.

Must be very intoxicating, right?

Hmm, I need to properly cultivate this in the future, maxing out her "Talent Points" for various "positions."

This thought made Lin Hai feel the pressure instantly on his shoulders, foreseeing a long and arduous future.

Quietly taking a look, Lin Hai was dumbfounded; the document was covered in dense English, and he couldn't understand a word.

"What are you looking at?"

Ouyang Xiaoya raised her head, asking impatiently, this guy always entered so silently, more professional than a thief, she always got a little startled by him, utterly infuriating.

"CEO, I saw you reading so intently, I didn't dare to disturb and ruin that atmosphere," Lin Hai chuckled slyly, his flattery silently hitting right on Beautiful Ouyang's butt.

"Oh? You understand English?" Ouyang Xiaoya was quite surprised. Lin Hai, who claimed to have not even finished middle school, was considered basically illiterate in today's society, and yet he understood English?

"Cough cough, a bit, just the ultimate empire of the apocalypse," Lin Hai feigned nonchalance with a cough, putting on an aloof and lofty demeanor.

Seeing the utterly surprised expression on Ouyang Xiaoya's face after his response, Old Lin felt an overwhelming surge of vanity.

Unfortunately, he overlooked the cunning flash that passed through Ouyang Xiaoya's eyes after her brief surprise.

"Captain Lin, since that's the case, why don't you read it aloud then?" Ouyang Xiaoya commanded in the tone of ordering a subordinate, pushing the document towards Lin Hai.

"Ah?"

"This, this, this..." Lin Hai was instantly dumbfounded, staring at the dense English, dizzy from the unfamiliar words he didn't recognize.

Ouyang Xiaoya, seeing Lin Hai's reaction, immediately knew he was bluffing again, feeling extremely delighted in her heart. Finally, she could watch him fall flat on his face; there's no escape this time.

Lin Hai, sweating profusely, fumbled and secretly cursed himself for overblowing his bluff.

"Captain Lin, if you can't read it, you can give up, but your salary for this month will be fully deducted," Ouyang Xiaoya said, smiling.

"What? Why is that so unfair? You're exploiting a poor employee, that's so unjust," Lin Hai protested.

Ouyang Xiaoya sneered and delivered her prepared response, "Cheating your superior, I should have fired you right away, but I am considering your, my... giving you face anyway."

"What exactly am I to you? CEO, even if you fire me, I'll still be your man," Lin Hai chuckled.

"You!" Ouyang Xiaoya gritted her teeth again, this bastard managing to take verbal advantage once more.

"To read or to admit your mistake? Choose quickly!" Ouyang Xiaoya said indignantly, thinking to herself, you semi-illiterate, let's see how you escape this time.

Lin Hai gritted his teeth, his mind racing, and suddenly, a lightbulb went off, regaining his composure, "It's just English, you underestimate my bed-bound Little Tornado, I'll read!"

Lin Hai picked up the document, his expression extremely serious, giving off the impression of a profound scholar with deep insights, making even Ouyang Xiaoya slightly surprised, wondering, could this guy actually understand English?

Clearing his throat, Lin Hai opened his mouth wide:

"R—A (ah)—(aunt)—D—B...…."

"Stop, stop, stop, this isn't the latest chapter of 'Magical Science from a Magic Teacher!' I asked you to read words and sentences, not individual letters—who doesn't know how to?" Ouyang Xiaoya interrupted.

"CEO, you told me to read, and I read it vertically. Plus, you didn't specify whether to read words or letters," Lin Hai cheekily grinned.

Ouyang Xiaoya was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized she had been played by Lin Hai again.

"You dare to play me!"

"CEO, how did I play you?" Lin Hai chuckled.

"No culture!" Ouyang Xiaoya failed to grasp the true meaning of 'play' in Lin Hai's tone.

"This Beast Lin, got played by him again, and just because I didn't clarify the rules clearly, he found another loophole!" Ouyang Xiaoya was a bit upset, having lost to Lin Hai several times, she felt somewhat frustrated.

"CEO, I need to correct you, although I don't have a diploma, that does not mean I lack culture, on the contrary, I am very well-read and loving." Lin Hai fluttered his eyelashes.

"With just you? Tsk." Ouyang Xiaoya said disbelievingly, not forgetting to take a jab at him.

"Don't believe me? How about I pose a few questions, see if you can answer them?" Lin Hai took the opportunity to fight back.

"Oh? I don't believe you have any profound questions, I am a well-educated scholar who studied abroad." Ouyang Xiaoya was also stirred up by Lin Hai, thinking she was worried about not having a chance to turn the tables, but he came offering himself.

"CEO, listen carefully."

Lin Hai cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Listen to the first question, which ancient character was the most formidable? Thirty-second countdown starts now!"

"Is that the question?"

Ouyang Xiaoya thought about it; if talking about the most formidable in ancient times, in terms of individual strength, it seems like Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Guo Jing and others were very formidable...

"Guan Yu?"

Ouyang Xiaoya thought again, no, that couldn't be right, Lin Hai surely wouldn't play by normal rules.

"Sun Wukong!" After she declared her answer, Ouyang Xiaoya looked at Lin Hai triumphantly, convinced that she would win this time.

"Time's up!"

"I answered correctly, right?"

"Wrong!" Lin Hai scoffed.

"What? Impossible, Sun Wukong is the most formidable!"

"It's Xu Xian!"

"What?" Ouyang Xiaoya stood up suddenly, how could it be Xu Xian? Was Lin Hai trying to mess around again?

"CEO, don't get agitated."

Lin Hai lit up his eye nonchalantly, legs propped up, sitting on the desk, chuckling.

"Then you tell me, why is it Xu Xian? If you can't give a reason, I'll fire you immediately."

Ouyang Xiaoya looked menacing as she spoke.

"Because it takes 12 hours for a snake to mate each time, and Xu Xian married Bai Suzhen, even had a son..."

Lin Hai chuckled as he revealed the correct answer.

"..." Ouyang Xiaoya was speechless.

"What on a man's body gets bigger when stimulated?" Lin Hai asked again.

"You, pervert!" Ouyang Xiaoya's face blushed immediately.

"CEO, how am I a pervert?" Lin Hai widened his innocent eyes: "I was talking about pupils, okay!"

"You!" Ouyang Xiaoya was speechless again.

"CEO, your thoughts are impure." Lin Hai teased with a flirtatious smile.

Just then, the phone on the desk rang: "CEO, big trouble, a gang of thugs has arrived in the lobby, shouting that they want to kill Captain Lin."
