Chapter 5: Left to Be Bullied

Lì n finally put down the documents in his hand and looked over to them. In the morning sunlight, his face shone brilliantly, making Yán Luòxī dare not look directly at him.
"What's your name" Lì n leaned back in his chair, twirling a pen between his fingers.
“Damn it!” Whenever she encountered Lì n, Yán Luòxī’s usually patient demeanor would run out. "Yán Luòxī." She answered meekly.
"Which university did you graduate from"
"B University."
"How old are you this year"
"22."
"And how many months until your official graduation"
...
"Who are the people in your family"
...
Damn, where do you get so much useless talk from It's like you're a reincarnation of Tripitaka! Even usually calm Yán Luòxī was starting to lose her temper.
...
Seeing Yán Luòxī’s face gradually turning red with suppressed anger, Lì n felt wickedly delighted. He continued maliciously: "Considering you’re a high-achieving student in the finance department and have won several first-class scholarships these years, why would you want to work as a lowly assistant here"
"I am very eager to join Anrui International. As long as I can be part of this company, no matter what task is given to me, I will do it gladly. Just out of school and lacking experience, I need to start from the bottom." Yán Luòxī looked miserable but resolute in her determination, almost ready to swear an oath.
"I didn't expect that at such a young age, you would have such ambitious goals. Great!" Lì n nodded solemnly and said old-fashionedly, "Anna, give her a desk by the door so it's more convenient for me to call her when needed."
What does it mean, to regard oneself as a guard dog!
Yan Luoxi watched the logistics staff place her tiny desk in front of Li An's office door, feeling depressed. Before she could even sit down at her station, Li An called her back inside.
"Yan Luoxi—" Li An dragged out his voice when calling her.
"Yes." Yan Luoxi answered automatically, as if everything was returning to the oppressive days of old.
"Go and make me a cup of coffee!"
"Yes." Looking at Li An's domineering demeanor, Yan Luoxi quickly recovered many of her old habits.
Not long after, Yan Luoxi placed the coffee in front of Li An. Without looking up from his documents, Li An picked it up and took a sip, "Too weak!"
"Oh." Quickly collecting that cup, another one immediately appeared on the table. Lost in thought, Li An casually picked this new cup up for a taste, "Too sweet!"
"Oh," Yan Luoxi swiftly collected the overly sweet cup.
Another cup materialized right in front of Li An once again.
This time, Li An reacted, looking up to find Yan Luoxi standing beside him with a tray holding over ten cups of coffee. Enraged yet amused, he laughed, "Little brat, you've learned the ropes!"
"It's all thanks to my second brother's adept methods." Yan Luoxi responded humbly.
"Get lost!" Li An abruptly changed his demeanor and snapped. "Your mere presence infuriates me. I'm busy today, no time for you. Wait until I have a moment to deal with your misconduct properly."
Yan Luoxi privately considered this a victory and cheerfully rolled out of the office to her little desk at the door, fiddling with her computer.
In reality, her work was quite simple and light. She only had to serve Li An tea and coffee, occasionally copy documents or receive faxes for him—tasks that should have been handled by a secretary. However, since Li An wanted to torment her, he deliberately placed her here so she could be at his beck and call at any time.
At lunchtime, He Yufan and Ye Wenxin finally met with Yan Luoxi in the dining hall. As they queued for food, they chattered about their morning experiences.
Walking through Anrui International's spacious cafeteria that rivaled a five-star restaurant, Yan Luoxi felt that despite all its flaws and Li An being as annoying as a caterpillar, there were still incredibly appealing aspects to the company. The treatment was excellent, and the cafeteria food was top-notch, rivaling private dining establishments.
For Yan Luoxi, who hadn't smelled meat for several days, this place filled with the aroma of food was like heaven on earth. The cafeteria offered a wide variety of dishes, but most of the female staff chose light meals to maintain their figures.
In contrast, only Yan Luoxi and a few middle-aged women openly indulged in the meaty dishes, which drew curious glances from male employees nearby.
Each employee could choose four dishes. Yan Luoxi picked three meat dishes—braised spare ribs, stir-fried pork, and sweet and sour fish—to ensure she wouldn't get hungry easily and could avoid buying meals for dinner.
The company cafeteria also offered free fruits and snacks; Yan Luoxi stealthily pocketed two eggs as breakfast for the next day.
After finding an empty table, He Yufan put aside her favorite braised trotters and interrogated Yan Luoxi about Li An.
She was envious of Yan Luoxi's good fortune, knowing that not everyone could have such a golden opportunity. She felt particularly jealous of the chance to work as a junior assistant to Li An.
Yan Luoxi chewed on her ribs while answering He Yufan’s persistent questions vaguely, but He Yufan was clearly unsatisfied with the vague answers. Finally, she made an extremely constructive proposal: "Luoxi, why don’t we switch jobs You go to the excellent PR department, and I’ll be a tea girl. I’m not afraid of hard work or dirtiness; there’s no task too menial for me!"
"... Um… I…" Yan Luoxi struggled to swallow her food and said with her mouth full: "I just work as a tea girl, not a cleaner."
“Can you two let me eat in peace” Ye Wenxin put down her chopsticks helplessly and glared at He Yufan. “You know how many people are eyeing the CEO; do you think he’ll notice you just because you’re his tea girl”
Ye Wenxin was right; all unmarried female employees were discussing Li An, believing that marrying such a man would be life's greatest achievement.
A female employee spoke louder than the others: “... But I heard he’s quite promiscuous and has many girlfriends.”
Not just hearsay but fact, Yan Luoxi added to her thoughts silently.
Anther woman laughed. "What does that matter A wealthy and powerful man naturally attracts countless women; it shows his charm! Besides, our CEO is stunningly handsome and young; men must experience everything in their youth to settle down later."
Yan Luoxi was surprised by the positive spin on a philandering lifestyle.
After lunch, Yan Luoxi saw Li An's note on her desk: "Clean the entire CEO’s office thoroughly when I return to check it." The flamboyant handwriting perfectly matched his character.
"To hell with that," she crumpled up the paper as if confronting Li An directly. “You can’t stand me being around for a moment!”
Even though this was her break time, Yan Luoxi couldn't ignore Li An's instructions. Fuming, she entered his office but found herself at a loss on how to proceed.
This spacious and luxurious executive office was obviously cleaned regularly, so much so that not a speck of dust could be seen on the windows. Ye Luoxi just rotated her eyes; to show that she had indeed cleaned, she deliberately moved some decorations around.
When she reached Li An’s desk, she was surprised to find a comfortable daybed behind the large desk. Lying here would be both discreet and allow one to bask in the abundant sunlight streaming through the large windows!
Cursed Li An, he truly enjoyed his life as an emperor!
The daybed was extremely exquisite with soft white cushions laid on top of it, making people want to lie down and take a nap.
Ye Luoxi couldn’t resist sitting down on the fluffy cushion. Since she tended to feel sleepy after eating, she thought that since the warm sunlight was shining on her body at noon, why not take a short nap here After all, this place was well-hidden and upon Li An’s return, as long as she heard him open the door, she would immediately roll onto the ground pretending to be cleaning.
She lay down on the daybed, closed her eyes, and enjoyed lying in the sun. In her mind, she repeatedly rehearsed how to quickly roll off when Li An returned, gradually falling asleep.
Li An had a business lunch appointment today with an important partner; he was meant to return later, but for some reason, his heart felt uneasy. After downing a few cups of wine, he hurriedly headed back.
Seeing that Ye Luoxi wasn’t at the executive office entrance, he smiled smugly and quietly opened the door. The empty room did not have the figure of Ye Luoxi diligently cleaning as expected.
Li An was infuriated; this little brat dared to openly defy his orders on her first day of work. He would show her how to behave!
Hastily rushing over to the desk, he prepared to angrily throw something down but upon raising his head, he unexpectedly saw Ye Luoxi sound asleep on the daybed. His mood inexplicably improved.
After quietly observing for a few seconds, he stealthily walked behind the light wooden desk and slowly sat in the executive chair. From this angle, he could clearly look down at sleeping Ye Luoxi who was unaware of his presence.
Today, he had maliciously instructed後勤部的人給顏落夕發了一套公司保潔人員的製服——刺眼而土氣的大紅色，但穿在顏落夕身上卻一點也不難看。
At the age of 20, no matter what she wore, she was youthful and vibrant. Wearing this crimson cleaning uniform made her fair skin appear even more delicate; perhaps due to prolonged sun exposure, her entire face had become rosy and tender like a ripe peach that would burst with juice if squeezed. Li An struggled to control the inexplicable urge to reach out and pinch it.
Leaning down, he gazed at Ye Luoxi who looked like a lotus sleeping in an ink painting; her unique scent wafted towards him, making him suddenly feel as though everything was surreal.
Five years had passed; this scene seemed to have appeared countless times in his dreams. She would lie quietly beside him, allowing him to do as he pleased and treat her however he wanted.
