Unparalleled medical and martial arts skills, saving the CEO's fiancée at the start.

Jiang Ruoxi and Ye Chen returned to the villa at around 2 a.m. Ye Chen immediately lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Jiang Ruoxi quickly washed up before resting; long hours of high-intensity work and working overtime late into the night were the norm.

It used to be normal for her to work until 2 a.m., and she would start work at 10 p.m. when everyone else was asleep.

The next morning, Ye Chen dragged his tired body, his eyes still sleepy, as if he hadn't slept in a long time.

Jiang Ruoxi was as energetic as ever, dressed in her usual professional attire, with a serious expression, and carrying a small leather bag.

Jiang Ruoxi was still driving. Ye Chen had fallen asleep in the passenger seat, so she didn't disturb him and planned to wake him up when they got to the company.

Ye Chen doesn't have much work to do all day long; his main task is to find the culprit who harmed Jiang Ruoxi. He doesn't need to worry about anything else.

Just as he sat down in his office chair, He Jianping's goji berry and ginseng tea arrived: "Brother Ye, would you like some special flavored goji berry and ginseng tea?"

"Minister He, we're like brothers. It's too much of an honor for me to make tea for you, brother. Next time, I'll do it myself..." Ye Chen didn't want He Jianping to flatter him like this, as it wouldn't look good if others saw it.

"Alright, alright, I'll do whatever you say, little brother. I'll bring the things over now, and I'll trouble you to make the soup yourself."

He Jianping always had a smiling face and showed great respect for Ye Chen.

Ye Chen knew He Jianping's intentions: to help him complete his mission and to speak on his behalf to Jiang Ruoxi at the appropriate time.

These were not difficult for Ye Chen.

After finishing his business in the morning, Ye Chen thought he would take a walk around the various departments to see if there was anything unusual.

As they passed by the administration department, Lin Keke happened to come out, and the two almost bumped into each other.

"I'm sorry, are you alright?" Ye Chen quickly apologized.

"It's okay, it's okay!" the other person kept apologizing.

"Oh, it's Minister Ye. What brings you to the administration department? Come sit in my office, have some tea and chat before you leave..." Lin Keke started chatting after recognizing Ye Chen.

"Oh, it's Miss Lin. It's nothing. I just came to check if there were any security loopholes. Sorry to bother you. Come for tea another time!" Ye Chen turned to leave, but Lin Keke stopped him.

"Minister Ye, this is such a small matter. Couldn't the people in the ministry have handled it? Why did you have to do it personally? You are truly a good role model for us to learn from."

"My colleagues are all very busy, but I happened to have some free time, so I came over to check things out and familiarize myself with the environment. I've finished my inspection here, goodbye!"

"Minister Ye, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you really not going to give me any face at all? Why are you being so petty?" Lin Keke didn't give Ye Chen any face at all and spoke very directly.

Hearing Lin Keke say that, Ye Chen felt embarrassed to refuse again, thinking that dealing with a woman shouldn't be too difficult.

He gestured for Lin Keke to lead the way, saying, "Ms. Lin, alright then, I'll try some of the administration department's fine tea!"

Lin Keke led Ye Chen to the administrative department's reception room. Every department has a standard reception room, mainly used for receiving clients.

"Minister Ye, please have a seat. The tea will be ready in a moment!" Lin Keke generously invited Ye Chen to sit down. She then skillfully cleaned the tea set and prepared the tea leaves. Before long, a steaming cup of Da Hong Pao tea was handed to Ye Chen.

"Minister Ye, please have some tea!"

"Ms. Lin, thank you!"

"Minister Ye, I heard that you grew up in the mountains and came to Jiangcheng the first time you came down from the mountains. I have a question to ask you, if I may?" Lin Keke asked tentatively.

"It's alright, Miss Lin, please feel free to ask if you need anything." Ye Chen took a sip of the tea; it was indeed brewed very well, with the heat perfectly controlled.

"Minister Ye, what do you think of me? I'm exactly twenty-six this year, and I'll soon be promoted to deputy manager of the administration department, with an annual salary starting at 400,000. I also have a house and a car in Jiangcheng..." Lin Keke was really bold, which made Ye Chen break out in a cold sweat.

After saying that, Lin Keke moved closer to Ye Chen and casually unbuttoned the second button of her shirt.

"Miss Lin, I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend, and I can't do something so unethical." Ye Chen pushed Lin Keke away and sat up straight.

"Minister Ye, I know your partner is from a childhood arranged marriage. But what era are we living in? We value free love now. If you're willing, I'm yours today..."

Ye Chen was shocked by Lin Keke's boldness. Are all women down the mountain this direct?

Lin Keke is not Ye Chen's type. Although she is good in appearance and temperament, she is still a worse choice than Jiang Ruoxi.

"Ms. Lin, please have some self-respect. I know you are very outstanding and capable, but I already have a wife, who works at our company. We can still be friends..." Ye Chen reiterated his position and made his stance clear.

"Minister Ye, I'm willing to be your servant, even if it's just for a day, or even... you know..." Ye Chen felt that Lin Keke's words were getting more and more outrageous, as if she was deliberately testing him.

After much deliberation, I decided to leave as soon as possible; if I stayed any longer, things would get complicated.

Just as Ye Chen finished his tea and was about to get up and leave, Lin Keke refilled his cup, deliberately preventing him from leaving.

"Miss Lin, I'm sorry, I have important matters to attend to. Let's end our tea here for today! I'll come back another day. By the way, Miss Lin's tea-brewing skills are absolutely first-rate..."

After saying that, Ye Chen quickly got up and left.

Lin Keke sat alone on the sofa, angry. She didn't know why Ye Chen remained unmoved even after she had been so direct.

"Coco, this might work on other men, but it won't work on Ye Chen. He's not buying it. In the end, I'm just giving up. Ye Chen isn't yours..."

A person appeared through the side door of the reception room, spoke, and then left, leaving Lin Keke alone, feeling suffocated.

Lin Keke didn't know whether to listen to him and give up on Ye Chen. After getting to know him a few times, she also felt that Ye Chen was a little different, a feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

But the moment she saw Ye Chen, she fell in love with him. Ye Chen was the prince charming she had been searching for.

She thought that with her looks and excellent job, Ye Chen would definitely agree, but she was rejected twice in a row.

In the past, Lin Keke was always the one who rejected the men who pursued her, but today she was rejected by the man she had her eye on.

After leaving the administration department, Ye Chen immediately returned to his office, picked up his water glass, and started gulping it down.

Fortunately, Jiang Ruoxi didn't know; if she had seen it, she would have misunderstood.

I should go to the administration department less often in the future; if I don't see it, there won't be any trouble.

Lying down, Ye Chen pondered a question repeatedly: Am I, Ye Chen, really that attractive to women?
