The Secret of the Yoga Club: The Women's Identity is Not Simple

The more indifferent she seemed, the more intense He Rui's resentment burned. He had seen many women: those who approached him in bars, those who played hard to get introduced by friends, and those who were polite and reserved on blind dates arranged by their families.

He had never seen anyone like her before, someone completely immune to him. Her pure yet aloof face, paired with her extremely exaggerated figure, only intensified his possessiveness with each glance.

When the afternoon training ended, Ma Qingqing packed her things and quickly walked out of the training room.

I stood in the elevator for a while, watching the floor numbers jump up one by one, and I felt really bad.

I finally found a good job, and I really don't want to cause any more trouble because of this. Why are there always people like this?

But she also had a feeling that He Rui was not the kind of person who would give up after being rejected once or twice, and that he would definitely continue to pester her during the next two days of training.

I leaned against the elevator wall, closed my eyes, and told myself to just bear with it and it would pass. I just needed to get through these three days. Once I officially started my job, we would all be busy with our own things, and I probably wouldn't run into him again.

When the elevator reached the ground floor, she quickly walked out of the building and blended into the crowd on the street, feeling like a bird that had just escaped from its cage.

At this moment, in the top-floor office of the Shuke Group, Lin Feng had just finished signing a pile of documents and leaned back in his chair to pick up his phone.

I just wanted to browse through the work groups of various departments to see if there were any messages that needed to be processed, but my finger inexplicably clicked on the company's internal monitoring system APP.

I randomly clicked on the live feed of the training room and saw a scene from the afternoon training break. In the feed, He Rui was standing next to Ma Qingqing's seat, holding a cup of coffee, leaning slightly forward, and wearing a fawning smile.

Ma Qingqing kept her head down, looking at her notebook, and leaned to the side, not even glancing at him. He Rui said a few more words, but Ma Qingqing still didn't respond, so he awkwardly walked away with his coffee.

Lin Feng leaned back in his chair, looking at Ma Qingqing's cold and restrained profile in the screen, and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest twice.

When this girl mentioned during the interview that the previous manager had ulterior motives towards her, she became so nervous that her ears turned red. She was clearly not good at dealing with this kind of persistent and clingy pursuit.

And He Rui, that kid, dared to poach his employees just because he had connections? Lin Feng turned off the surveillance camera, picked up the landline on the table, and dialed Teacher Yang's number in the training room.

"Teacher Yang, starting tomorrow, Ma Qingqing doesn't need to continue training. She can go directly to the centralized procurement department. As for He Rui, manage him the same way during the training period; no special treatment is needed. After the training, have him report to Lu Fei in the business department, and let Lu Fei mentor him."

Teacher Yang was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then replied crisply, "Understood, President Lin." After hanging up, she stood at the door of the training room, glanced inside, her gaze lingered on He Rui's seat for a moment, then shook her head and walked away.

The next morning, when Ma Qingqing arrived at the training room, Teacher Yang was already waiting at the door. He waved to her and said in a low voice, "Ma Qingqing, you don't need to continue the training tomorrow. Go directly to the centralized procurement department to report. This was personally arranged by General Manager Lin. When you get there, find Minister Wang Yue; she will show you around."

Ma Qingqing was stunned for several seconds before she reacted. She wanted to ask why, but she swallowed the words back.

Although she didn't know the specific reason, she vaguely felt that it should be related to President Lin. His gentle attitude during yesterday's interview, his initiative to transfer her to another department, and the meaningful tone in Teacher Yang's voice when she said "President Lin personally arranged it" all confirmed the same thing: this junior boss was helping her out of a predicament.

Feeling a little touched, I nodded, said "Thank you, Teacher Yang," and then turned and walked towards the elevator, my steps much lighter than when I came.

He Rui sat in the training room and saw through the window that Ma Qingqing spoke a few words with Teacher Yang in the corridor, and then walked towards the elevator with her bag on her back.

He paused for a moment, wondering why she wasn't coming in. Had she been eliminated during the training? Just as he was about to get up to ask Teacher Yang, several of his classmates noticed the situation.

"Why did she leave? Didn't she just have one day of training?" a bespectacled boy next to him asked quietly.

"It seems he was transferred directly to the centralized procurement department. I heard that the head of the centralized procurement department is Lin's former secretary. This department is very special; it doesn't have many people, but they are all elites."

Another girl chimed in, her tone tinged with envy. Shuke was a company she had struggled to get into, while Ma Qingqing had only been trained for one day before being handpicked by the boss to transfer away. This made her secretly sigh at the difference between people.

He Rui frowned.

He had asked his uncle to go to the sales department, so why did Ma Qingqing end up in the procurement department? He quickly recalled the details of his conversation with Ma Qingqing yesterday.

Her cold attitude, the strange looks from her colleagues, and the unusually polite tone from Teacher Yang today.

Suddenly, he realized that he might have missed some important information. It was true that he was a person with connections, but Shuke's boss was Lin Feng, and Wang Yue, the head of the centralized procurement department, was Lin Feng's secretary.

A new employee who just joined the company was transferred to a department closest to the boss on the second day of training. It's obvious who was behind this.

Leaning back in his chair, he tapped his fingers impatiently on the table, forgetting to chew his gum.

No matter how much influence his uncle has, it can't compare to Lin Feng's. If he wants to survive in the company, he can't afford to offend the people Lin Feng is protecting.

But he couldn't shake the image of Ma Qingqing's face and figure from his mind. He was unwilling to give up, but he dared not do anything rash again.

When Ma Qingqing arrived at the procurement department, Wang Yue was already waiting in the office. Wang Yue was wearing a light blue work shirt and a black pencil skirt, her long legs wrapped in black stockings were crossed, and she wore a pair of black pointed-toe stiletto heels.

He asked Ma Qingqing to sit on the sofa next to him, poured two cups of tea, and then picked up the department introduction materials on the table and handed them to Ma Qingqing.

"Ma Qingqing, from now on you'll be my assistant. Don't be too reserved. Our procurement department isn't large; there are fewer than fifteen people including you, so everyone gets along very easily. The sales department is under a lot of pressure, running around to clients and signing orders every day. Our pace is different; our main task is to ensure the smooth operation of the procured goods. Most of our colleagues are women, with very few men, and they all have very good appearances, after all, they deal with high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The salary is slightly lower than in the sales department, but the work is much easier. You won't have to work overtime until late every night, and you can basically have a two-day weekend off. When you interviewed before, General Manager Lin was very impressed with you and specially transferred you here. I heard him say that you used to work in a trading company, so you should have some basic knowledge of warehouse management."

When Ma Qingqing received the documents and heard the words "President Lin has a deep impression of you," her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and a faint blush rose to her ears.

He lowered his head, holding the notebook under his arm, pretending to be looking at documents, and scribbled on it with a pen to cover up his lapse in composure.

She told herself that Mr. Lin was only helping her because she was an alumnus of Hohai University, and that he meant nothing more than that, so she shouldn't overthink it. But the feeling of being secretly taken care of still stirred a small ripple in her heart.

Wang Yue leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs, and slowly scanned the woman in front of her who was half a head taller than her.

She has a great figure, and compared to the other women around her, she seems to have a unique charm in addition to her height.

He took a sip of tea and started chatting, asking Ma Qingqing where she lived, how many people were in her family, and what her parents did.

Ma Qingqing answered each question. Wang Yue then asked her which school she graduated from, what her major was, and whether she had a boyfriend. When the word "boyfriend" came up, Ma Qingqing's ears turned slightly red, and her voice became much softer than before. She said no, she had been very busy since starting work and hadn't had time to think about it.

Wang Yue praised her from head to toe, saying that she had only ever seen such tall girls on TV before, and she never expected that she would be even more beautiful in real life than on TV. She was tall and pretty.

Ma Qingqing was a little embarrassed by the praise. She said no, no, but in her heart she thought that this minister was a really nice person.

But she had no idea that Wang Yue was having a completely different plan.

She knew her status was incomparable to that of women like Shen Qianqian and He Qianwen; they were born to be empresses and imperial concubines, while she was at most a concubine.

To gain a foothold in the power struggles of the harem, relying solely on Raymond Lam's favor is not enough; allies are also needed.

Ma Qingqing is a simple-minded girl who knows nothing about the company's factions. If we can bring Ma Qingqing to our side and cultivate her into one of our own, we will have one more helper in the future harem.
