From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Ye Zhiwei pushed the empty glass in front of Lu Yunzhou, her eyes filled with provocation.

"Third cup, Boss Lu, stop just fighting."

Lu Yunzhou picked up the wine jar, filled it for her, and then pushed his own cup over to her as well.

"After you finish this drink, you can ask me anything."

Ye Zhiwei stared at him for a moment, then raised her hand and picked up her wine glass.

The drinking contest has officially begun.

Ye Zhiwei tilted her head back and drank the third cup in one gulp, the bottom of the cup slamming onto the table, the wine splashing onto the back of her hand.

Lu Yunzhou picked up his cup and swallowed it in one gulp.

The plum sauce was both sour and spicy when it went down my throat.

He circulated the "Creation Technique," and his true energy circulated along his meridians, dissipating most of the effects of the alcohol.

Ye Zhiwei stared at him, her resentment rising again.

She grabbed the wine jar and filled it again.

"Whoever stops first tonight loses."

Ye Zhiwei pressed down on the rim of the cup.

Lu Yunzhou picked up his chopsticks and put two pieces of meat into her bowl.

"Eat something first. I don't want to carry two people into the room."

Lu Yunzhou glanced at her.

Gu Nanqiao felt her face flush and picked up her glass to join the drinking party.

She had intended to help Ye Zhiwei with a few drinks, but after four rounds, her chopsticks could no longer hold the food.

The plums on the table had reduced by more than half.

Ye Zhiwei's breathing gradually became heavier, and her snow-white cheeks flushed red.

She sat relatively steadily, keeping a close eye on Lu Yunzhou every time she poured wine, afraid that he would secretly switch the glasses.

Lu Yunzhou didn't expose her.

The cup emptied time and time again, and the internal energy circulated repeatedly within the body.

The pain in his shoulder was suppressed, and his mind remained clear.

Gu Nanqiao propped her forehead up, her eyelids growing heavier and heavier.

"You two are really causing trouble, I'm not playing along anymore."

She put down her chopsticks, her voice muffled.

As soon as she finished speaking, her forehead fell into the crook of his arm.

Her long hair spread out, covering half of her face.

Lu Yunzhou nudged her shoulder, and she just hummed in response.

Ye Zhiwei reached out and shook the wine jar; there were still a few cups left inside.

She didn't continue pouring; her gaze fell on Lu Yunzhou's face.

"I'm asking you, do you trust us or not?"

Ye Zhiwei held the empty cup.

Lu Yunzhou had been waiting for this question for a long time.

The security of this apartment, the authorization of the engineering terminal, and the skills of the two women all indicate that they are hiding something.

However, since they joined the company, the two have indeed been solving problems for Yuanchuan.

"We trust you to do things, and we'll wait until you're willing to tell us the story."

Lu Yunzhou put down his wine glass.

Ye Zhiwei lowered her gaze and rubbed her thumb against the rim of the cup.

She had prepared many probing questions.

Lu Yunzhou's answer was so direct that she couldn't ask any more questions.

Lu Yunzhou got up, walked around the table, and picked Gu Nanqiao up in his arms.

Gu Nanqiao didn't cause any trouble after getting drunk. She leaned her head on his shoulder, still clutching half a napkin in her hand.

Lu Yunzhou found the bedroom, put her on the bed, took off her shoes, and pulled the thin blanket over her.

Two port area structural design manuals were placed on the bedside table, with Yuanchuan's information tucked between the pages.

She has indeed been working very hard these past few days.

Lu Yunzhou turned off the bedside lamp and left the room.

Ye Zhiwei leaned against the door, her arms crossed in front of her.

"You hold him quite skillfully, have you practiced before?"

She looked at Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou closed the door and pointed to the dining table.

"If you say another sarcastic remark, you can clean up the table."

Ye Zhiwei turned and walked away, her slippers stepping on the carpet as she headed straight for the other end of the corridor.

Lu Yunzhou assumed she was avoiding the issue and didn't bother to argue.

He put the leftovers in the refrigerator, put the cups and plates in the dishwasher, and wiped the wine off the table.

It was past 1 a.m. when I finished cleaning up.

There were fewer cargo ships on the river, and the only sound in the living room was the air conditioning blowing.

Lu Yunzhou put on his coat, picked up his car keys, and prepared to leave.

The sound of a door locking came from the end of the corridor.

Ye Zhiwei came out of the room, wearing a red one-piece swimsuit with a towel draped over her shoulders.

Her swimsuit clung to her waist, revealing her fair shoulders and neck, and her long legs were tucked into flip-flops.

She usually carries an old tactical bag and wears clothes that allow for easy movement.

With this new outfit, she looks less masculine and more feminine.

Lu Yunzhou stopped at the doorway, his gaze lingering on her for two seconds.

Ye Zhiwei grabbed his sleeve, her eyes still flushed with the effects of alcohol.

"There's a heated swimming pool on the rooftop, there to help me sober up."

Lu Yunzhou didn't move.

"You're risking your life by going into the water after drinking?"

He frowned.

Ye Zhiwei stuffed the access card into his coat pocket and pulled him toward the elevator.

She was still thinking about the drinking party from earlier and was determined to get revenge tonight.

You need to swipe your card to enter the top floor.

The elevator doors opened, revealing a heated swimming pool standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Several lights were lit on the shore, reflecting the lights outside the buildings on the water.

The duty station was empty, and the lifeboat chairs were also unoccupied.

Lu Yunzhou first scanned the depth markers.

The shallow water is 1.2 meters deep, while the deepest part is nearly 3 meters deep.

Lifebuoys and long poles were hanging in the corner, and the equipment was all in good working order.

Ye Zhiwei placed the bath towel on the lounge chair and stepped into the water.

As the heat from the alcohol dissipated, she shivered and quickly adjusted to the water temperature.

With a push of her legs, she swam several meters.

Entering the water, pulling the arm, breathing – every movement was clean and precise.

When she reached the edge of the pool, she touched the wall with one hand, flipped her body, and swam out again.

Lu Yunzhou sat on the shore without taking off his clothes.

Ye Zhiwei swam three laps in one go, without slowing down at all.

On her final turn, she submerged, crossed the center line directly from the shallow water, and didn't surface until more than ten meters later.

This level of swimming skill is something that ordinary enthusiasts cannot develop.

Lu Yunzhou stared at her breathing rhythm, and another question appeared in his mind.

Ye Zhiwei swam back to the shore, put her hands on the edge of the pool, and looked up to meet his gaze.

She wiped the water off her face.

Lu Yunzhou raised his hand and tapped the deep-water sign.

"I'm counting how many times you stroke your arm to catch your breath."

Ye Zhiwei understood what he meant.

She loosened her grip on the edge of the pool and deliberately floated away on her back.

A red swimsuit clung to the water's surface, long hair flowed down her back, and her legs gently paddled the water.

Lu Yunzhou looked away and took out his phone to check the time.

Seeing that he was no longer staring at her, Ye Zhiwei turned over and dived into the water.

She swam even faster this time, skimming along the lane lines and heading straight for the deep end.

The sound of water changed from dense to scattered.

Lu Yunzhou raised his head.

Ye Zhiwei has reached the deepest part.

She had just taken a breath when her body suddenly swayed to one side, her right hand grabbing her calf while her other hand flailing the water wildly.

Water splashed onto the shore.

She tried to lift her head to breathe, but as soon as her mouth broke the surface of the water, her body pulled her back down.

Lu Yunzhou stood up, his chest tightening instantly.

Given Ye Zhiwei's swimming skills, ordinary choking on water wouldn't be able to hold her back at all.

His first reaction was that the other party was trying to test him.

But the next second, Ye Zhiwei's movements as she patted the water completely went awry.

"Lu Yunzhou, help me! I can't get any strength in my right leg!"

Ye Zhiwei raised her face and called out.

Before she could finish speaking, water from the pool poured into her mouth.

She grabbed at the surface of the water twice before sinking into the deeper water.

The red swimsuit flashed under the lights and quickly sank underwater.

Lu Yunzhou kicked off his shoes and rushed to the edge of the pool.

Just before he pushed off the ground and plunged into the water, Ye Zhiwei's last raised hand also sank.

Suddenly, there was no movement in the deep water area.
