Chapter 3

Halfway through my sentence, I was forced to stop, and quickly signaled to him to look at his phone, sending him a message.

Me [Are you going to dinner with them?]

Me [Wouldn't it be better for the two of us to have dinner?]

MY DEAR [Xiao Mu, company dinner is team building and also an important way to strengthen relationships with colleagues.]

MY DEAR [Sister Na's warm invitation, we have to oblige.]

MY DEAR [Besides, didn't she target you today? Just make it up to her by toasting her tonight.]

He sent me quite a few messages persuading me to attend tonight's dinner, saying that I should use the opportunity to toast and please Zhao Yina, so I wouldn't have to face such isolation and targeting for the rest of the month.

I always listened to him. I believed whatever he said made sense, given his gentle demeanor and excellent grades. After all, having been born with a silver spoon, I never worried about food or clothing, and didn't really understand these societal unwritten rules, so I accepted all his suggestions, taking it as an experience of corporate life.

The dinner was arranged at Taihe Restaurant, a five-star hotel I own as part of my assets. It was a birthday gift from my dad when I turned eighteen, saying I needed to learn financial management.

No wonder it was said to be company expensed. My brother's company tabs here are entirely waived by me.

However, my dad's thinking is too backward. He doesn't know that I don't need to learn to do business or manage finances now; I only need to hire people who can do business and manage finances for me. As a result, only the senior personnel recognize me as the big boss here.

"You guys probably haven't had many chances to eat here," Zhao Yina said grandly as she booked a large private room for us, her eyes filled with pride and showmanship, "As long as you become official employees of the company in a month, you'll have plenty of opportunities. Taihe Restaurant is the only preferred venue for Dingtai's banquets, team buildings, and annual meetings."

"Dingtai offers plenty of opportunities, as long as you are willing to work hard. In a few months, you can even afford to buy a house," Zhao Yina painted a rosy picture while boasting about her abilities, "I can afford a house deposit every month now."

Hearing this, all the interns were in an uproar, even my boyfriend couldn't help but feel envious. At the same time, his eyes were filled with determination, and he secretly sent me a message on his phone [Xiao Mu, we have to become official employees. Once that happens, I'll work hard, and in less than three years, I'll have enough to marry you!]

Seeing his message, I couldn't help but feel happy, all the dissatisfaction from being targeted vanished completely.

I was very pleased that I was part of his future plans. I also planned to take him to visit relatives for a month and collect red packets, so that in less than three days, he could marry me.

I was looking down, enjoying the sneaky interaction with my boyfriend over messages, experiencing the joy of "affair," however, in the next second, a shadow appeared on my screen.

Someone was peeking at my phone!
