宝贝～我们来运动一下

Chi Enen’s face turned red from being teased and she found herself at a loss for words. All she could do was silently curse Li Beijue in her heart and resolve that tonight she would definitely not let him continue!

“Enen.”

While they were chatting, a sycophantic voice cut in. Qin Nan looked up at the source of the voice and gave Chi Enen a ‘you’re on your own’ look before taking her mug and slipping off to the pantries to get water.

Fatty Fish was quite pleased with Qin Nan’s tact, his long face breaking into a smile as he approached Chi Enen, exuding a spring-like warmth, “Enen, why are you at work so early today?”

Chi Enen stood up from where Qin Nan had been sitting and, holding her bag, calmly replied, “I usually come in at this time.”

“…”

Normally, she was just a small employee; it wasn’t his place to question when she came in. But things were different now, Chi Enen was the new girlfriend of the CEO. After being snubbed by her, Fatty Fish’s expression turned awkward, yet he still followed behind her, fawningly saying, “Enen, I’ve been pretty good to you this past year, haven’t I?”

“Not bad,” Chi Enen replied as she placed her things at her desk, waiting for him to continue.

Fatty Fish flashed a sycophantic smile, said awkwardly, “About last time, don’t hold it against me. I had no choice, you understand. In my position, I have to do things that go against my conscience. I wanted to side with you, but you know, with superiors above and family to care for below, I couldn’t afford to lose my job. So that’s why I…”

“Last time? Which ‘last time’ are you talking about?”

Fatty Fish was anxious but couldn’t outright say it, so he had to hint at it subtly, “The incident with the photo. I was powerless then. Miss Xie came raging into my office, insisting on replacing you. I explained to her time and again, I said I absolutely don’t believe you’re that kind of person, that the photo must have been doctored. But Miss Xie wouldn’t listen and went to confront you. I couldn’t stop her, I’m sorry, Enen.”

Chi Enen wasn’t new to the workplace; she could still discern truth from lies.

She absolutely didn’t believe Fatty Fish defended her vehemently in front of Xie Tingting when the photo incident blew up.

However, him saying he had elders to take care of and children to raise, not wanting to lose his job, was true.

She was aware of how cruel the workplace could be. Although Fatty Fish was annoying, he hadn’t really done anything to hurt her substantially. His choice to side with the rumored ‘CEO’s girlfriend’ at the time was logical. Any smart person, when faced with choosing between the ‘CEO’s girlfriend’ and a common employee, would pick the former over the latter. She wasn’t petty; just because she had risen up didn’t mean she needed to step on everyone who wasn’t particularly nice to her in the past.

“Ah, that incident. You wouldn’t have mentioned it, I would have forgotten all about it.” Chi Enen feigned sudden realization, then turned to the uneasy Fatty Fish with a smile and said, “It’s no big deal, really. I never wanted to do the exclusive interview anyway, so it’s actually better this way. Don’t worry, all is well.”

Fatty Fish breathed a sigh of relief, wanting to chat with her some more and get closer. But Chi Enen’s mobile phone had already started to buzz with insistent authority—
