In this office, the team that Hua Jian brought out for field operations were stationed in a closed-off office inside. All the people in the outside office didn’t need to go for field operations. They were all under this female manager called Mengjie.

“What does this have to do with you? I am not under you.” Ming Shu hugged her snacks and smiled at Mengjie.

“Sister Mengjie, Tao Xi had…”

“Is it your turn to talk?” Mengjie shouted at An Zhiling.

An Zhiling got frightened and swallowed back her words.

Mengjie was so angry, her face turned green. There was hatred in her eyes. “You’re here. Why are you not under me?”

She was one of those people that liked Hua Jian. These past few days, Hua Jian had been going in and out with her and even on days when he didn’t need to come back due to his field operation, he would return specially to fetch her.

Also, Jian Ying said that… said that Hua Jian was her guardian.

How could she not be angry?

The person that she liked was suddenly seduced by a little demon that popped up from nowhere.

Ming Shu said softly, “If I say that I am not under you, I am not under you.”

“Mengjie, Tao Xi was brought in by the captain. Don’t talk so much.”

Jian Ying’s words had no persuading effects. It added more oil to Mengjie’s flame of anger.

Ming Shu said again, “If you are not convinced, you can find your captain.”

Mengjie was so angry she lost control of herself and said without thinking, “You are just a demon. What right do you have to be obsessed with the captain!”

I don’t have any intentions toward your captain. He is the one that has intentions toward me.

“Demon?”

“She is a demon… but there is no demon aura on her.”

“If she is a demon, then it’s not strange for her to be so pretty. I wonder what kind of demon she is.”

The people in the office started gossiping quietly.

Lu Jiu didn’t tell the people about Ming Shu’s identity so when their demon-seeking stone showed no reaction, they thought that Ming Shu was a human. Now, when they heard Mengjie saying that she was a demon, they all felt quite shocked.

However, there were already demons in the office so they were just stunned.

“Hey, your captain is back. You can ask him.” Ming Shu pointed at the door with her chin.

Mengjie got a shock and turned around. She saw Hua Jian and Lu Jiu walking over.

Hua Jian’s gaze landed on Ming Shu. He asked calmly, “What happened?”

Mengjie quickly rearranged the expression on her face. “Captain, Tao Xi wants to leave the office during office hours. I just told her off and she rebutted me.”

“Who says that you can tell her off?”

Mengjie raised her head instantly and looked at Hua Jian in disbelief. “Captain, she broke the rules.”

Hua Jian ignored Ming Shu. He said to Ming Shu, “You will follow me from now on.”

“Captain, she…”

“Do you have an objection?”

The man’s calm and composed gaze made Mengjie’s heart jump. There was no oppressive aura at all, but she just couldn’t say anything.

“Follow me.”

Ming Shu hugged her snacks and followed Hua Jian into the office.

“Don’t you all have work to do? Why are you all crowding around? Disperse, disperse.” Lu Jiu settled the people around them. The others didn’t dare to continue looking and they returned to their desks to continue their work.

Mengjie looked at the office. After they walked in, the blinds were pulled down and she couldn’t see anything inside.

She is just a demon… why…

“Zhiling, you will report to the field operations department.” Lu Jiu pointed at An Zhiling. “Pack your stuff.”

An Zhiling nodded her head in a daze.

Mengjie was shocked. “Lu Jiu, why is she going to the field operations department?”

The field operation department was directly under Hua Jian. They could see him almost every day. She had tried to apply for the department many times and was always rejected. This lady just arrived a few days ago and she could go to the field operations department?

“Sister Mengjie.” Lu Jiu’s face turned serious. “You came from the headquarters, but the field operation doesn’t need to report to you, does it?”

Lu Jiu didn’t like Mengjie. Not only did she keep pestering the boss, sent by the headquarters. If any other ladies did something, they would make less of a fuss but for her, they could only control themselves.

Mengjie was already very angry. Once Lu Jiu said this, she refuted, “You know that I’m from the headquarters. I want to know what a weak little girl like her is doing in the field operations department? Is she there to be a waitress?”

An Zhiling didn’t know that Mengjie would be so angry just because she was transferred to the field operations department. She said softly, “Why don’t I not go?”

Lu Jiu said immediately, “Zhiling, pack your things and go. This is the boss’s order. If you have any opinions, you can send your feedback to me and I will tell the boss.”

“Lu Jiu, don’t forget that I have the right to report this to the headquarters.”

“Report it then, Sister Mengjie.” This time, Lu Jiu helped An Zhiling pack up her stuff.

Mengjie watched as An Zhiling was led to the field operations department by Lu Jiu. She was so angry flames were almost shooting out of her eyes.

One Tao Xi, one An Zhiling…

“Mengjie, don’t be angry. Maybe Tao Xi has some special use. Boss never liked demons and will never have any interactions with demons,” Jian Ying consoled Mengjie.

However, the more she spoke, the angrier Mengjie got.

Why was their captain, who never liked demons, so nice to Tao Xi?

Jian Ying saw Mengjie’s expression and lifted her mouth corners slightly. After that, she comforted Mengjie softly.

…

“Don’t provoke the people outside.”

The moment they entered the office, Hua Jian said this to her.

He didn’t want to violate his character setting!

The system kept deducting points happily. Hua Jian wanted to strangle Ming Shu. It was all because of her!

“So what if I provoke them?” Ming Shu gave a nonchalant smile. “Will you hit me or kill me?”

Hua Jian squinted his eyes and suddenly closed in on Ming Shu. Ming Shu hugged her snacks and moved back instinctively. She was blocked immediately by the office table behind her.

Hua Jian’s huge figure enveloped her.

He reached out his hand. Ming Shu protected her snacks. “What are you doing? My snacks!”

Hua Jian didn’t touch her snacks. He held her shoulders and pushed her back slightly. His face appeared large in front of Ming Shu’s eyes and his warm breath landed on Ming Shu’s ear. “I will not hit you. I can’t bear to hit you.” I want to strangle you.

Ming Shu felt a warmth on her lips. Hua Jian had kissed her.

You are progressing a bit fast, you little demon!

Who taught you that!

Hua Jian was afraid that he would scare her and moved away after a quick kiss. He stepped back. “If you dare to provoke them again, this will be the punishment.”

Ming Shu tilted her head and smiled lightly. “They said that you hate demons. Have you changed?”

Hua Jian’s eyes froze for a second.

What can I do about that?

They gave me this stupid character profile and still asked me to woo a demon.

Hua Jian turned around to prevent Ming Shu from noticing that something was wrong with his expression. He muttered in a low voice, “You’re different.”

“I am a demon too. What is so different about me? Do I have an extra pair of wings?” Ming Shu smiled. “Or is it that you like my face?”

I like your life!

Deep breaths.

Don’t be angry.

I need to forgive her.
