The weather in Beijing is very dry, and the winters are especially dry and cold.

However, Lin Yang's life was very fulfilling and comfortable, truly comfortable.

On the day Hu Haili left, after finishing her overtime work that evening, she returned to her residence and had a late-night snack. Gao Lan specially brought out a bottle of red wine to drink with Lin Yang.

After drinking, the two couldn't help but embrace and roll onto the bed.

The next morning, Gao Lan calmly dressed and prepared to get up, saying at the same time:

"Don't worry, I won't bother you. I was with my ex-boyfriend for seven years, and he finally taught me that men can't be trusted."

"So, from now on, I just want to live for myself and focus on working and making money. But it's not easy to stand out in the workplace."

"I don't have abilities as great as yours, so I can only choose to side with the strong in order to survive here."

"I can hardly be considered a strong person," Lin Yang said, shaking his head as he leaned back on the bed.

"But you still value relationships, you won't take advantage of me and then deny it," Gao Lan said, glancing at Lin Yang before getting up and leaving.

Clearly, Gao Lan had feelings for Lin Yang from the beginning; otherwise, she wouldn't have easily agreed to share an apartment with a young male boss.

However, she was also very clear-headed, knowing that given her circumstances, it was almost impossible for her to become the mistress of Lin Yang's house, so she could only settle for second best.

Since a stable life is unattainable, it's not too late to fight for yourself in your thirties. It's time to live a more enlightened life.

As for the cost, it's hard to say who benefits from sleeping with Lin Yang!

So, from then on, Lin Yang really enjoyed every night; the mature older sister was just too irresistible.

Fortunately, Lin Yang has always maintained his physical fitness, so he is still able to compete with Gao Lan in bed and even gain the upper hand.

Gao Lan, on the other hand, was always radiant and full of energy, and her work efficiency had greatly improved, making her look like a powerful career woman.

Colleagues suspected she had a new boyfriend, while others thought she had undergone a profound awakening and transformation after experiencing heartbreak.

Gradually, everyone felt that she had become the second Lin Yang, with high enthusiasm for work, as if she had taken stimulants and was tireless, making those colleagues who had to work with her feel a little overwhelmed.

Today, the marketing planning department is renowned throughout the company for its work efficiency and performance.

Lin Yang also had some new people recruited by HR, and called back Li Xiaoyue, who was not doing well every day.

The day Li Xiaoyue returned, after get off work that evening, Lin Yang invited her and about ten colleagues from the marketing planning department to have dinner at a hot pot restaurant near the company.

The group of more than ten people were divided into two tables. Gao Lan smiled and raised her glass, saying, "Come on, let's toast Director Lin. Thank you for treating us tonight, and thank you for giving us more business commissions."

"And welcome Xiaoyue back..." Lin Yang said with a smile, raising his glass.

"To Director Lin, to Xiaoyue!" Colleagues raised their glasses in unison.

After a round of laughter and banter, Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but exclaim with a smile, "Since my mentor became the director, the atmosphere in our marketing planning department has completely changed."

"And, Sister Lan, you really surprised me when you came back this time! You've changed so much! You're so beautiful and confident now, what kind of magic potion did you take?"

Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but marvel at how much Gao Lan had changed.

"We have to thank Director Lin for this! Following him and being influenced by him has completely changed our mental outlook," Gao Lan said with a smile to Lin Yang.

Hearing her bold, direct, and pointed words, and facing her smiling gaze, Lin Yang felt a strange thrill. This woman, she seems almost too clever for her wits.

The meal lasted until eight or nine o'clock before everyone left.

"Let me take you home!" Lin Yang said to Li Xiaoyue after leaving the hot pot restaurant.

"No need, Master, I can take the subway back by myself," Li Xiaoyue said.

"You've had quite a bit to drink, I'm worried about you, let me take you home!" Lin Yang had also been drinking and couldn't drive, so he hailed a taxi by the roadside and told Li Xiaoyue to get in without further ado.

"As expected of the most likable apprentice, the director still favors Xiaoyue the most," said Liu Xiaoqin, a female colleague with average looks.

Xin Xin, standing to the side, said, "What master and apprentice relationship? I think the director probably likes Xiao Yue, and Xiao Yue obviously can't resist Director Lin's charm either. Otherwise, why would she come back after leaving? She knows how much overtime work there is at the company."

"Alright, hurry back! You're not going to work tomorrow, right?" Gao Lan said, and left first.

After she left, Liu Xiaoqin couldn't help but frown and say, "What?! Does she think she's the boss? Even Director Lin doesn't act like that."

"Sister Lan is very capable! She'll be the deputy director sooner or later," Xin Xin said from the side.

"She's not even that yet!" Liu Xiaoqin retorted, "She's always running to Director Lin's office. Does she think Director Lin would even notice her?"

"I guess they're just talking about work! Sister Lan has been working so hard lately, she probably doesn't have time for romance," Xin Xin sensed Liu Xiaoqin's jealousy and displeasure, so she didn't say anything more and left first.

On the other side, sitting in the back seat of a taxi with Lin Yang, Li Xiaoyue, slightly drunk, smiled and looked out the window, saying, "If I had known the atmosphere at the company would be this good, I should have come back sooner."

"Master, you have no idea how oppressive the work atmosphere is every day. If this continues, I think their company will go bankrupt sooner or later."

As Li Xiaoyue spoke, she couldn't help but complain about her previous company and talk about the things she experienced every day.

Lin Yang listened with a smile. He had to admit that Li Xiaoyue was a bit naive and willful, but she was also very straightforward. Her belief in living life to the fullest was something that many people envied but could not achieve.

Li Xiaoyue has a youthful mindset; she is carefree and can live from the heart. But ordinary people have too many helpless situations and have to compromise and bow to life.

After getting off the bus, Lin Yang dropped Li Xiaoyue off near her residence. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that the progress bar next to him had turned red and was flickering.

Lin Yang, his brows furrowed and his expression slightly changed, hesitated for a moment with surprise and doubt, then quickly turned around and went back.

Hearing Li Xiaoyue's loud shouts, Lin Yang followed the sound and immediately saw Li Xiaoyue being harassed by a young man in the living room of one of the rented rooms in the corridor.

"Xiaoyue..." Lin Yang, who rushed in, kicked the person so hard that he slammed into the wall.

The young man, who cried out in pain, instantly regained his senses and hurriedly got up and ran outside.

"Master, don't chase after them!" Li Xiaoyue said, pulling Lin Yang back from the chase.

"What's going on?" Lin Yang asked, frowning. "Who is that guy?"

"He's my roommate's boyfriend..." Li Xiaoyue said, unable to resist reaching out and hugging Lin Yang.

"It's alright, don't be afraid! Call the police later, we can't let him get away with this," Lin Yang said, patting Li Xiaoyue's back gently.

Just then, amidst the footsteps, another young man who had arrived at the door saw Lin Yang and Li Xiaoyue embracing and his expression changed.

"Na Jun?" Li Xiaoyue's expression changed slightly when she saw him, and she quickly released Lin Yang.

Meanwhile, Na Jun, whose face was somewhat grim, stepped forward aggressively, seemingly about to attack Lin Yang.

Li Xiaoyue quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Na Jun, don't go crazy! Master just helped me get rid of someone who was harassing me, it's not what you think."
