10: Jiang Mengyuan, who regrets

Chen Yongqiu recalled last night; it felt as if she had experienced the most wonderful time in the world.

If she had approached Cao Lang for money in the beginning, last night she was completely conquered by his prowess.

They say that newly hatched birds will treat the first living creature they see upon opening their eyes as their mother.

Having just experienced her first time, Chen Yongqiu now regarded Cao Lang as the most important person in her life.

No matter what happened in the future, last night's experience would be forever etched in her heart, becoming an indelible mark on her life.

"Big Brother, I love you."

Chen Yongqiu clung to Cao Lang like an octopus, being incredibly clingy.

After Cao Lang woke up, he doted on her by stroking her back with one hand while picking up his phone to check the time with the other.

It was already 9:00 AM.

However, the 100+ unread green bubble messages secretly surprised him.

Even during the New Year, he didn't get many messages on green bubble. Why was it so busy today?

He opened it and—good grief—the vast majority were from the three girls from last night and Jiang Mengyuan.

Zhang Yiyang had sent many beautiful photos, while Liu Xinyu shared her TikTok account with the ID "Heihe." Cao Lang clicked on it and saw that she was indeed a minor Internet Celebrity.

Meanwhile, Jiang Mengyuan had sent the most messages.

First, she shared photos of her cat eating, then photos of her dinner, and she even took a picture of a stray dog to share while out for a walk at night.

[Brother Cao, look at this doggy, it's so cute~]

[Brother Cao, why aren't you answering me? Are you busy with something?]

[I have to work tomorrow, so I'm doing a face mask tonight, heehee.]

All the various messages added up to more than fifty.

Good grief, I never knew your desire to share was so strong!

...Today was Monday, the day for the Corporate Slaves to go to work.

Jiang Mengyuan was no exception. After telling her best friend about her experience last night, her friend advised her to share more of her daily life and stay in constant contact with Cao Lang.

But Cao Lang had no time to check his phone at all, let alone chat about daily life through a screen.

This was the first time Jiang Mengyuan had ever been led by the nose by a man.

The "loser" colleague she had previously looked down upon had transformed into a wealthy catch. Because Cao Lang hadn't replied to her, she had tossed and turned in bed all night and didn't sleep well at all!

Did not sleeping well mean she didn't have to work?

Jiang Mengyuan originally wanted to take a day off, but she was rejected by Manager Liu Zhi, who even used PUA tactics on her.

"Mengyuan, at your age, it's time to work hard. Do a good job, and if you perform well, I'll give you a promotion and a raise!"

Standing on the swaying bus in high heels, Jiang Mengyuan sneered inwardly at the manager's reply.

What was the point of a promotion and a raise?

A salary increase from 5,000 to 6,000? This stupid company didn't even provide the Five Insurances and One Fund!

Rent alone cost 2,000, and after buying clothes and cosmetics, there wasn't much left.

With this pathetic salary, she couldn't even afford to travel out of an Urban Village.

Thinking back to yesterday, Cao Lang spent 120,000 on a single bottle of wine and booked a 30,000-a-night presidential suite for a whole month.

If she hadn't come back to feed that damn cat yesterday and had stayed in the presidential suite instead, would she have the confidence to skip work today?

There is no medicine for regret in this world; Jiang Mengyuan's intestines had turned green with remorse.

Working this shitty job for this shitty salary, when would she ever achieve financial freedom!

Arriving at the company, Jiang Mengyuan composed her emotions and prepared to start work.

Today, she still wore exquisite makeup and had changed into a pair of dark, tight-fitting jeans that wrapped around her long, slender legs, further outlining her S-curve.

Her body proportions were near perfect, with her legs making up almost half of her height. This golden ratio made her exceptionally eye-catching; whether standing or sitting, she exuded ultimate temptation.

Liu Zhi held the routine weekly meeting today, calling everyone to the front of the hall and lining them up for a lecture.

"This past week, everyone has worked very hard. We've achieved certain results in customer service, business promotion, and other areas. These achievements are inseparable from the efforts of every colleague!"

Jiang Mengyuan was late and could only sneak into the back row, but her beautiful figure still didn't escape Liu Zhi's sharp gaze. Seeing the sexy Jiang Mengyuan, Liu Zhi's Adam's apple bobbed, and he felt a faint excitement.

It's true that a man's mood improves when he sees a beautiful woman!

Liu Zhi was in his thirties and married. Last year, he became a manager due to good luck, which significantly increased his salary and improved his quality of life.

For a beautiful new college graduate like Jiang Mengyuan, Liu Zhi had long since viewed her as prey.

Regardless, he had to try. If he succeeded in using unspoken rules, it would be a huge win for him.

How could the yellow-faced wife at home compare to a fresh college student?

"I see that some individual colleagues are late. An occasional lateness doesn't matter; I'm a very open-minded person, so don't think I'm very strict!"

Liu Zhi paced back and forth. With his 185cm height, high-waisted pants and a small leather belt, and the air of a minor leader, wouldn't this dazzle Jiang Mengyuan?

He glanced at Jiang Mengyuan occasionally, but seeing no reaction from her, he felt a bit disappointed.

"By the way, is Cao Lang here today? His performance was at the bottom last week. If this continues, it will be very difficult for our company!"

Feeling disappointed, he naturally needed someone to take it out on, and he immediately thought of the usually honest and simple-minded Cao Lang.

"Reporting, Manager, Cao Lang isn't here today," someone in the crowd replied while stifling a laugh, as if waiting to see Cao Lang made a fool of.

"What's going on? I'll call and ask!" Liu Zhi suddenly became energetic, finally finding an outlet for his frustration.

He took out his phone, found Cao Lang's number, and called him right then and there.

He wanted to make an example of him!

Although he had just said he was generous and didn't mind, who wouldn't want a small, willful display of power?

Soon, the other party picked up the phone.

Liu Zhi specifically turned on the speakerphone, cleared his throat, and immediately began his verbal assault.

"Cao Lang! What time is it?! If you're not at the company soon, don't bother coming at all! You dare to be late for the Monday weekly meeting? Why don't I just give you this manager position? You've really crossed the line!"

"Considering you live far away, I'm giving you thirty minutes to get to the company. This is my final deadline. If you can't make it in time, just resign."

Cao Lang was cuddling with his goddess on a five-meter-wide bed when he was blasted by an explosive roar over the phone.

His good mood vanished instantly, and his anger flared up.

"Liu Zhi, fuck you! You think you're some big shot just because you're a shitty manager? Who the hell do you think you are, talking to me like that? Even if I'm late, there are company policies. Is it your place to fire me? Talk to my lawyer, you idiot."
