Qu Yanyan's head drooped even lower. She forcefully pulled her hair over her face, afraid that Mo Yue would recognize her.

To be honest, she didn't want to go on the headlines. As a member of a poor family, Qu Yanyan had never dared to dream about Cinderella.

In her world, the ultimate goal was to work hard and earn money so that her parents could have a comfortable life.

The footsteps drew closer and closer, and every step sounded like they were knocking on her eyes. Qu Yanyan felt her breathing quicken.

Don't recognize me! Don't expose me! Don't call me!

Qu Yanyan clasped her hands together and prayed in her heart. However, her gaze was fixated on a pair of shiny black shoes.

It stopped beside him.

"Qu Yanyan."

Her ice-cold voice was deep and full of magnetism, but Qu Yanyan felt a chill in her heart.

It's over!

Even if she was just a servant, even if she was bullied by the manager, she was still unwilling to resign. Could it be that her white-collar career would end today?!

No!

Qu Yanyan gathered her courage and looked up. "Director Mo …"

She wanted to explain something, but was suddenly frozen by Mo Yue's icy gaze. She pinched her mouth, but couldn't say a single word.

"Follow me."

After Mo Yue finished his sentence, he entered the CEO's office without any rebuttal.

Mo Yue's departure made Qu Yanyandan feel relaxed all over. The invisible pressure disappeared and the people in the room immediately became lively.

Qu Yanyan looked back and saw her best friend winking at her, her best friend who was giving her the chance, the supervisor who was waiting to see a good show, and her colleagues who usually took her for a convenience post.

Qu Yanyan sighed inwardly and pushed open the door to the CEO's office.

Inside the door, Mo Yue was sitting in a chair of honor. The sunlight shone through the large glass window and covered him in a layer of golden light.

His eyes were hidden in the shadows. Qu Yanyan couldn't see him clearly, but he seemed even more mysterious and unfathomable.

Qu Yanyan couldn't figure out what Mo Yue was thinking and couldn't help but nervously swallow her saliva.

She thought for a while and said, "Director Mo, there was a misunderstanding about last night."

"Oh?" Mo Yue's emotionless answer made Qu Yanyan even more nervous.

"I'm accompanying a friend to a party. I've had too much to drink, so I don't know what's going on."

"And?"

"I only remember that I bumped into you, and it even seemed like I vomited all over you." As Qu Yanyan spoke, she suddenly thought of something. "About that, I will help you wash your clothes …"

"…"

Mo Yue was silent for a few seconds. Then, he stood up and walked towards Qu Yanyan. He was tall and big, so he covered Qu Yanyan's whole body in an instant.

Qu Yanyan couldn't help but raise her head to look at him. A trace of ridicule could be seen on the corner of his lips. "Do you think I lack money for dry cleaning?"

Qu Yanyan quickly shook her head. "That's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?" Mo Yue said, "You don't think I'm in love with you, do you?"

The mockery in Mo Yue's words made Qu Yanyan's face redden. "I …"

"Or do you feel confident that I should fall in love with you just because of this fortuitous encounter?"

Qu Yanyan lowered her head, not knowing what to do.

She drank too much to remember anything, and the bed was clean. Hadn't anything happened to them last night?

But why was there something weird about Mo Yue's words?

Qu Yanyan tensed up at the thought of what might have happened last night.

"If you want to continue working in the cosmos, you should know what to say and what not to say."

Mo Yue said as he wrote a cheque and handed it over.

When Qu Yanyan saw the six zeros, she felt a surge of anger rushing to her head.

What was this?

What kind of person did Mo Yue take her to be?!

Qu Yanyan took a deep breath and raised her head to look at Mo Yue. Her stubborn and pure gaze was reflected in Mo Yue's eyes, which surprised him.

"Firstly, I am a worker in Universal. You are my superior. Other than the salary, I will not take a single cent from you for free."

Qu Yanyan raised her second finger. "Second, what you said just now was exactly what I wanted to say. As the CEO of the universe, you should know what to say and what not to say."

"Third, other than work, please don't casually invite me into the CEO's office. Thank you!"

Qu Yanyan stubbornly said. She glared at Mo Yue, turned around and forcefully closed the door.

Qu Yanyan sat back in her seat, thinking that she must have gone mad in order to explain things to those who only had their lower half of their minds in their mouths.

An encounter, falling in love with him in one night?!

Heavens, even if he was the only man left in the entire world, she, Qu Yanyan, would never choose him!

What kind of pervert was this?!

What super freak?!

Qu Yanyan slammed down the folder. At that moment, the supervisor walked to her table and knocked on it. "The CEO is calling you."

The supervisor looked at Qu Yanyan with a complicated expression.

Qu Yanyan had an excellent figure. Her skin was so tender and full of collagen that it could be squeezed out of water. As soon as she entered the company, she received many anonymous flowers. She was once one of the most influential figures within the company.

Although she rejected them all, she still had many suitors by her side.

At this moment, he was summoned twice by the new CEO. The people within the company immediately smelled something extraordinary.

With a stern expression, Qu Yanyan opened the door to the CEO's room, but didn't go in.

She wanted to avoid suspicion!

"CEO, what orders do you have?"

Mo Yue raised his head from the document and handed over a piece of paper with his long fingers.

Qu Yanyan hesitated for a moment before walking up to him.

"Tomorrow at noon, I want to see these."

Mo Yue instructed without raising his head.

Qu Yanyan took it and looked at it. She couldn't wait to take the inkstone and smash the guy in front of her to death!

He actually wanted her to report to him, within twenty-four hours, an analysis of the company's sales over the past five years!

Heaven knows how many trillions of dollars the universe sells in a year. Five years of statistical data is an astronomical figure, not to mention the rise and fall of various sales curves.

"Director Mo, are you avenging a personal grudge?" Qu Yanyan asked coldly.

Mo Yue leaned back in his chair and looked at Qu Yanyan with a funny expression. "If I say yes, what can you do?"

They had seen shameless people, but they had never seen such a shameless one!

Qu Yanyan clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, as to prevent her from rushing forward to slap Mo Yue.

"Twenty-four hours, more than a minute, and you're off."

Mo Yue continued to look down at the document.

Qu Yanyan took a deep breath and left the CEO's office.

A mountain of information was gathered from the archives. When everyone learned of Qu Yanyan's mission, they couldn't help but mock her and gloat at her misfortune.

Everyone knew that Mo Yue was the current fifth son of the Golden King in GK City, a son-in-law of many royal families. Any woman would kneel at his feet.

Therefore, in their eyes, Qu Yanyan was clearly a typical case of a failure to climb high.
