Ni Xuanyi noticed that many office desks had the company's magazine, and on every cover was Li Yi. Looking at the glossy magazine where he either smiled faintly or contemplated deeply or stood tall and proud, Ni Xuanyi gave a light laugh.

Although her colleagues appeared to be arrogant like high-end white-collar workers on the surface, once they secretly liked that man, there was no essential difference between them and herself. Therefore, if she wanted to win Li Yi's heart, she needed to work even harder.

The weekend saw Ni Xuanyi continuing her intensive studies in the school library from morning till night. She wished she had three heads and six arms so that she could simultaneously read the mountain of materials and documents piled before her.

On Monday morning, Ni Xuanyi woke up exceptionally early as Li Yi was coming to work today. She needed to make a great effort to impress him.

Dressed and lightly made-up, Ni Xuanyi hurriedly left home. Alas! The heavens were unkind; it started drizzling just after she stepped out. Without an umbrella, she couldn't walk all the way to the subway station and could only stand at the bus stop for a cab.

There was a surge of people hailing cabs in such weather. After waiting a long time, Ni Xuanyi finally managed to grab one. Throughout the journey, her watch was nonstop ticking; seeing that she would be late soon, she ran towards her company with great anxiety, not caring about her appearance.

Just as she climbed up the steps, there came a sudden braking sound behind her. She did not bother to look back and stood at the entrance, tidying up her clothes hastily before rushing in.

Anxious that she might be late, Ni Xuanyi hurried forward. However, with too many people entering and exiting under the downpour, the marble floor was wet and slippery. In her haste, she did not pay attention to where she stepped; her slender stilettos suddenly slipped...

She wobbled unsteadily and stumbled forward. Just then, a pair of large hands timely steadied Ni Xuanyi's waist until she regained her balance before letting go. For more and faster chapters, please visit the website.

Ni Xuanyi’s face flushed red as she repeatedly muttered “sorry.” Upon seeing who had helped her, she was dumbfounded.

"Brother Li Yi…" Ni Xuanyi had imagined countless scenarios of running into Li Yi here, but never in such a pitiful way. She truly wanted to bang her head against the wall.

"Xuanxuan." Li Yi was even more surprised, eyes wide and eyebrows furrowed. But he was used to high-pressure situations. His astonishment only lasted for an instant before he calmly nodded at Ni Xuanyi in a rather formal manner, asking, “Miss, are you okay”

Ni Xuanyi felt embarrassed to the core. Thankfully, there were no others around Li Yi and her, but many colleagues were still milling about or waiting for elevators in the nearby hallways. Her actions looked premeditated, like a clichéd tactic of female subordinates trying to seduce their male bosses.

But she truly hadn’t done it on purpose. Ni Xuanyi’s guilt remained as she shamefully lowered her head and said, “Thank you, President,” before hurrying forward.

"Take your time, be careful." Li Yi's low voice sounded from behind her. Hearing his voice, Ni Xuanyi felt a warmth in her heart; every pore of her body relaxed under the soothing tone.

Ni Xuanyi joined others by the staff elevator and turned slightly to see their building’s top leader enter his personal elevator. His gaze was heading towards them but didn't seem focused. As the elevator doors closed, Ni Xuanyi saw Li Yi's face break into a smile that lit up like sunlight before vanishing from her sight.

The staff elevator carried Ni Xuanyi and others to the sixty-fourth floor of the company building. She walked briskly towards her office area with an unusually light heart today.

She knew that the entire upper floor was the president's office area. For more and faster chapters, please visit [website]. Perhaps Li Yi himself is walking right above her head now. Sometimes she could even hear his footsteps upstairs. Of course, this was just a hallucination.

This morning was no different for Ni Xuanyi. She still had a busy day at work ahead of her. Li Yi didn't call or text her specially like he used to.

Ni Xuanyi's mind was preoccupied all morning long. Fortunately, her colleagues were all hard at work. It wasn't easy to get into the headquarters of Dynasty Empire, so everyone treasured their opportunities here.

Zhu Yinghui was a clever person. In the afternoon, she guessed that Li Yi would have calmed down from his busy schedule by now. She casually found an opportunity for Ni Xuanyi to take some documents upstairs for signatures.

The elevator slowly rose. With each heartbeat growing faster and more urgent, Ni Xuanyi stepped into the president's office area and felt that even the air around her seemed different.

The president's office area was bright and full of vitality, with rows upon rows of glass walls and Brazilian cherry wood plant screens dividing up the space. Each office had half-drawn blinds to let in light while keeping the workspace tidy. The sunlight shone through into the relaxation areas, illuminating the view outside.

Ni Xuanyi looked around a bit stupidly as she tried to locate Li Yi's presidential office. A receptionist smiled politely at her and asked where she was headed.

With directions from someone, Ni Xuanyi had just approached Li Yi's office when he walked past with two directors in tow. They all went straight into his office, clearly discussing important matters. She waited for a while sitting outside on the chair.

The two board members didn't stay long and soon left. Then, Li Yi’s secretary notified Ni Xuanyi that she could come in now.

Ni Xuanyi stepped into Li Yi's office and saw him sitting behind a large desk, smiling brightly at her, clearly in a good mood.

Before Ni Xuanyi could say anything, Li Yi had already stood up to get tea for her, speaking輕鬆地說著：“To be hired by the Dynasty Empire shows how excellent you are."

"Um..." Ni Xuanyi's face turned slightly red as she nervously spoke the truth. "I was indeed hired by the Dynasty Empire and initially worked on the eighth floor. The reason I can work on the sixty-fourth floor is because... "

“It’s because of Li An." Li Yi gestured for Ni Xuanyi to sit down, placing a cup of green tea in front of her.

Ni Xuanyi was somewhat taken aback. "Li An told you about this" That Li An really has a big mouth. He had promised me he wouldn’t tell Li Yi about it and said that he wanted to give him a surprise."

Li Yi chuckled. "He didn't tell me, I asked him. Not everyone can go up to the sixty-fourth floor. If not for his help in your favor, you wouldn't have been able to come here."

Ni Xuanyi felt a little uncomfortable hearing this and fidgeted with her fingers. "I didn't want... to be here at first. Please assign me to another department instead."

"Such a petty mind." Li Yi laughed heartily as he patted her head. "There's plenty of space on the sixty-fourth floor for you and in this huge Dynasty Empire, I can’t even show favoritism once If I do not adjust your position to the sixty-fourth floor, it would be me failing my duty as CEO by making a new employee suffer委屈. Moving you to the sixty-fourth floor is a compensation."sive gifts.
