Heartthrob, Your Image is Crumbling!

Chapter 335: Harboring Their Own Thoughts

It was already the end of the semester, and Tao Tian's major basically had no more classes. The only time the counselor sent a message in the group chat was to tell everyone that they could start submitting their resumes to look for jobs, attending interviews before the new year so they could start working right after.Since Tao Tian was already Zhou Yuwen's woman, there was no way he would just ignore her.

However, there were no suitable positions for her at the moment. After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Yuwen called her into his office and said, "You can be my secretary for the time being. When you have free time, you can take those girls out for exhibition part-time jobs. When things get busy, you can just help me print out documents and handle similar tasks."

Hearing this, Tao Tian was naturally thrilled. What she actually did wasn't important; what mattered was that this position allowed her to stay by Zhou Yuwen's side constantly.

The next day, Tao Tian came to work wearing a sexy sapphire blue tight skirt. She stepped in wearing a pair of high heels paired with nude stockings, her clothes stretched taut and bulging over her chest.

This girl was naturally charming and seductive, making her perfectly suited to be Zhou Yuwen's secretary. Her very first task was to clean up the two apartments Zhou Yuwen had previously bought and rent them out.

After successfully completing the assignment, Tao Tian came to Zhou Yuwen for reporting her progress, inevitably leading to another round of intimate interaction between them.

Zhou Yuwen directly transferred Tao Tian's files to his company, giving her a monthly salary of four thousand yuan along with the standard five social insurances and one housing fund. Tao Tian was very happy, but there was one thing she found difficult to bring up.

She wrapped her arms around Zhou Yuwen's shoulders from behind, pressing her heavy cleavage against him.

They were incredibly soft. Tao Tian acted coy right next to Zhou Yuwen's ear, whispering that she had a favor to ask.

Zhou Yuwen pulled her into his arms and said, "Just say whatever is on your mind. You are my woman, and I will satisfy any request you have."

Tao Tian was overjoyed to hear Zhou Yuwen say this.

However, after Tao Tian finished explaining, Zhou Yuwen shook his head.

Tao Tian explained that the counselor had already told them to start submitting their resumes.

"I have good luck to have such a wonderful hubby, but Minmin doesn't have that kind of fortune," Tao Tian said with a pout, sitting on Zhou Yuwen's lap and tracing little circles on his chest.

She thought this would be a piece of cake for Zhou Yuwen.

After all, Minmin was her best sister, and it was rare for her to ask for a favor. Moreover, Tao Tian genuinely felt that Minmin was quite capable; running errands or handling minor tasks in Zhou Yuwen's company shouldn't be a problem for her.

But to her surprise, Zhou Yuwen refused.

Zhou Yuwen stated that if it were her own matter, he would naturally help.

"But I don't have any relationship with Minmin Xuejie. To be honest, I don't really like her, so I have no reason to help her."

In truth, Zhou Yuwen disliked every single girl in Tao Tian's inner circle.

Qu Jing had truly offered herself up to the tiger, earning Zhou Yuwen's good impression in exchange.

But that didn't mean every girl had such good luck.

Take Minmin, for example.

Back when Tao Tian tried to backstab him, Minmin was definitely the one pulling the strings and encouraging her from behind.

And now, she actually wanted Tao Tian to persuade him to hire her into the company?

Don't even think about it.

If he really let her in, she would just end up egging Tao Tian on to do something bad again.

Zhou Yuwen himself didn't care.

He was just worried that Qu Jing would end up feeling wronged.

Regardless, there was no way Zhou Yuwen was going to agree to let Minmin join the company.

Right after Tao Tian stated her request, Zhou Yuwen immediately found a valid excuse. He said, "Joining the company isn't the issue, but I don't recommend it. The reason I arranged for you and Little Jing to enter the company is that you are my women. No matter what happens in the future, I will always provide for you. But Minmin isn't. I wouldn't mind feeding her with four thousand yuan a month in my company, but would she be willing to earn only four thousand yuan for the rest of her life?"

Tao Tian thought about it and remained silent for a moment.

Zhou Yuwen continued, "You should tell Minmin not to join my company. Young people should experience more of the world. Let her run around and face some challenges; it will be beneficial for her future."

"But..." Tao Tian felt that Zhou Yuwen made a valid point, yet it was so rare for Minmin to ask her for a favor. She felt it would be hard to justify returning empty-handed.

Just as she was about to say something more.

Zhou Yuwen offered, "If it really comes down to it, I can write her a recommendation letter. Didn't Zhu Hong try to poach you to be her assistant before?

If Minmin really can't find a job, I'll recommend her to Zhu Hong. Does that sound good to you?"

Since Zhou Yuwen had already put it that way, Tao Tian naturally had nothing more to say.

Besides, the compensation at Meituan was indeed quite good. They had just arrived in Jinling and were in desperate need of talent. If Minmin went there, she would have great prospects for development.

Tao Tian thought it over and felt it was already generous enough that Zhou Yuwen was willing to help at all, so she took the initiative to offer her fragrant lips. "Thank you, hubby!"

Zhou Yuwen patted her thigh, which was wrapped in nude stockings, and said, "Be good and head out now. I still have other things to take care of."

"Mhm."

After replying, Tao Tian got off Zhou Yuwen's lap and walked away in her high heels.

Click-clack, click-clack.

Barely after stepping out of Zhou Yuwen's office, she bumped right into Qu Jing.

The two of them meeting was practically a clash of destined rivals.

One was Zhou Yuwen's secretary, wearing a tight skirt and nude stockings, her heavy chest bulging prominently with ample volume.

The other was Zhou Yuwen's capable right-hand woman, dressed in a white shirt paired with a black tight skirt, her legs wrapped in sheer black stockings, and her feet stepping in six-centimeter high heels.

Tao Tian was naturally seductive.

While Qu Jing's outfit gave off the aura of an aloof, mature older sister.

Watching Tao Tian walk out of Zhou Yuwen's office, Qu Jing immediately frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Oh."

Tao Tian wasn't the least bit intimidated by Qu Jing right now, yet she spoke in a soft, delicate voice. "I forgot to tell you, Qu Jing. Starting today, I am Zhou Yuwen's secretary. I just officially joined yesterday, so I'll be in your care from now on."

As she spoke, Tao Tian looked incredibly pleased, even reaching out a hand as if to shake Qu Jing's.

"What are you talking about!?"

Qu Jing froze for a moment upon hearing this.

Was she joking?

Tao Tian became Zhou Yuwen's secretary? Qu Jing felt a thousand times dissatisfied.

She had to be spouting nonsense, right?

But Tao Tian simply smiled at Qu Jing, explaining that it was decided during New Year's Day.

"You went back home at the time, so I couldn't tell you right away. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Zhou Yuwen," Tao Tian said.

Qu Jing stared at her smiling face.

That kind of smile felt like a blatant provocation.

Qu Jing couldn't stand it no matter what, so she simply stomped her high heels and marched right into Zhou Yuwen's office.

She was rather rough when opening the door.

As soon as the door swung open, she saw Zhou Yuwen sitting there reading over a document.

Zhou Yuwen asked her what she was doing.

He could hear her yelling from all the way through the door.

Qu Jing had been furious, but the moment she met Zhou Yuwen's gaze, her anger instantly transformed into feeling wronged. Without saying a word, she hurried over in her high heels—click-clack—and dropped to the floor right in front of him. Grabbing Zhou Yuwen's hands, she looked up pitifully and asked, "I heard that you're making Tao Tian your secretary?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen was momentarily at a loss for how to explain.

Especially when he saw Qu Jing's deeply wronged expression.

Qu Jing was dressed beautifully, her long beautiful legs clad in black stockings, and her upper body adorned with a real silk white shirt. This type of shirt was slightly translucent, so up close, one could clearly see the black lace hollowed-out bra she wore underneath, which even had a push-up effect.

Well, even though she couldn't compare to Tao Tian.

But she had been following Zhou Yuwen all this time, after all.

Furthermore, Qu Jing had indeed helped Zhou Yuwen tremendously at the company; her title as his top general wasn't just for show.

It was important to note that Zhou Yuwen's cultural media company now managed the university town, overseeing hundreds of girls of all types, and places with many women were bound to have a lot of drama. In terms of management, Qu Jing had always applied a high-pressure policy.

She resolutely protected Zhou Yuwen's interests.

On multiple occasions, she had scolded those girls who came in for part-time work purely for Zhou Yuwen's sake.

She had even pointedly and harshly yelled at a girl in front of everyone, snapping, "If you can work, then work! If you can't, then get lost! Do you think our company will collapse without you?!"

The fact that almost all the girls currently working part-time at the company had signed Zhou Yuwen's talent contracts was, in fact, more than half due to Qu Jing's efforts.

Privately, quite a few people gossiped that Qu Jing was nothing more than Zhou Yuwen's dog.

"Damn it, does she think nobody knows she has a massive crush on Zhou Yuwen?"

"She might have a crush on Zhou Yuwen, but the problem is, does Zhou Yuwen even pay attention to her?"

There were quite a lot of people discussing Zhou Yuwen and Qu Jing behind their backs.

Truth be told, Zhou Yuwen still harbored deep affection for Qu Jing.

After all, who wouldn't like a little cutie who fiercely defended him outside, yet obediently knelt before him behind closed doors, pitifully begging for his affection?

Looking at Qu Jing kneeling before him in a W-sit posture.

Zhou Yuwen really didn't know what to say.

He sighed and said, "Little Jing, I'll tell you the truth, but don't be angry. It was an accident."

Zhou Yuwen explained that Qu Jing wasn't around that day, and Meituan's Director Zhu was very fond of Tao Tian, so they all arranged to go out for a late-night snack together.

He had a bit to drink that day.

And Tao Tian was the one who escorted him back.

Just like that, things inexplicably happened between them.

"Little Jing, it's my fault."

Zhou Yuwen crouched down, gathering Qu Jing into his arms, stroking her beautiful legs clad in black stockings, and spoke with heavy guilt.

Qu Jing was extremely unhappy to hear this. She couldn't help but say, "Brother, how can you blame yourself for this? It's obvious she had been plotting this for a long time."

Since they shared the same dormitory, how could Qu Jing not know Tao Tian's character?

Tao Tian's interest in Zhou Yuwen hadn't just started a day or two ago.

Having finally gotten such a rare opportunity, Qu Jing didn't even need to think to know that Tao Tian must have been the one to initiate it.

Zhou Yuwen said that wasn't entirely true; he was also to blame for failing to restrain himself.

"Brother, this really isn't your fault."

Qu Jing urged Zhou Yuwen not to blame himself. She murmured, "Brother hasn't let me down at all. Jingjing is just Brother's little pet. How could Jingjing have the right to blame Brother? Jingjing is just afraid that once Brother gets a new pet, you won't want Jingjing anymore."

As she spoke, Qu Jing snuggled deeper into Zhou Yuwen's embrace.

Hugging Zhou Yuwen tightly.

Zhou Yuwen assured her it wouldn't come to that.

"No matter how good she is, she could never compare to you. The reason I made her my secretary is that I felt you might be unhappy if I transferred her back to the cultural media company. Since I already said the cultural media company is yours to manage, I would never go back on my word."

Hearing this, Qu Jing muttered under her breath, "I actually wish Brother would let her manage the cultural media company."

"Why is that?" Zhou Yuwen chuckled lightly.

Qu Jing suggested that he let her manage the cultural media company and allow Qu Jing herself to be the secretary by his side, right?

"That way, Jingjing could stay with Brother forever." Qu Jing showed genuine happiness as she said this.

But Zhou Yuwen replied, "That won't do, Jingjing. You're so highly capable; making you a secretary would be a waste of your talents."

"Besides, if I let her manage the cultural media company, what would I do if she tries to backstab me again?" Zhou Yuwen added with a smile.

Qu Jing felt terribly wronged and pouted her small lips, whining, "But Jingjing just wants to stay by Brother's side."

Zhou Yuwen pointed out, "Aren't you right by Brother's side right now?"

"Alright, little cutie, don't you know how much I dote on you?" Zhou Yuwen said as he planted a kiss on Qu Jing's lips.

Qu Jing hummed softly, seizing a rare moment to act coy with Zhou Yuwen.

Still feeling slightly wronged, she asked Zhou Yuwen, "So, during New Year's Day, did you bring her to our home?"

Zhou Yuwen asked in surprise, "How did you know? I made sure to clean up very thoroughly."

Qu Jing replied, "Someone touched my collar."

Zhou Yuwen recalled the incident, smiling awkwardly as he admitted, "Well, she did pick it up and play with it for a bit."

"Hmph, Brother is a bad man." Qu Jing threw a minor tantrum.

Zhou Yuwen apologized, admitting it was his fault and that he shouldn't have let her play with the collar.

Qu Jing pulled the collar out from her bosom and fastened it around her neck. Dropping onto all fours in a crawling posture, she declared that she didn't care how many women Zhou Yuwen had, but she demanded to be the one and only unique existence, forever staying by her Brother's side.

"No one can replace my position. Only I have a collar, and my collar even has words engraved on it, Brother." Saying this, Qu Jing slowly crawled toward Zhou Yuwen.

Her cheeks began to flush crimson, and she wriggled her buttocks as if wagging a tail.

She pleaded, "Brother, Jingjing missed you so much. Please reward Jingjing."

With that, she slowly crawled under the desk.

"Little Jing, what are you doing..."

"This is the company..."

"Honestly..."

Since Qu Jing absolutely insisted, Zhou Yuwen had no other choice but to let her have her way with him under the desk.

Qu Jing stayed in Zhou Yuwen's office for two hours. During that time, Tao Tian came by once and knocked on the door, only for Zhou Yuwen to say he was busy and ask her to come back later.

Tao Tian felt a twinge of curiosity, wondering what exactly Zhou Yuwen and Qu Jing were doing inside the office.

But she didn't dare to dwell too deeply on it.

At that moment, her phone call rang.

She checked it and saw it was from Minmin.

Minmin told her that she had brought some spicy hotpot for Tao Tian and asked where she was.

Hearing that Minmin had come to Pioneer Park, Tao Tian replied, "Oh, where are you? I'll come find you."

Even though Tao Tian was his secretary, there was no room left in Zhou Yuwen's office, so he had arranged a private room for her in the adjacent office.

Minmin followed Tao Tian into the private room. Although it wasn't large—only about twelve square meters—the decoration was minimalist and brimming with a modern feel.

Minmin looked around with sheer envy. She said, "Goodness, Tiantian, how long were you going to hide this from me? Don't tell me Zhou Yuwen is treating you this well just because of your strong work abilities?"

Tao Tian's face turned slightly red, not knowing what to say.

Minmin didn't expose her further, simply saying they should drop the subject for now. "I bought you spicy hotpot, let's eat and chat."

"It's so nice that my bestie has her own independent office. You don't even have to take your food outside to eat," Minmin remarked while helping Tao Tian unpack the spicy hotpot.

Tao Tian smiled and replied, "That may be true, but it's still better to eat outside in the future. The smell of this spicy hotpot is too strong, and I'm afraid others might complain."

"Who would dare? You're the one leading them in the first place, so who would dare complain? If anyone dares to, I'll tear their mouths right off for you!"

Tao Tian couldn't help but laugh, telling her, "You really should try to act a little more like a lady."

"Hehe. Oh right, Tiantian, did you ask him about the favor I requested? I need to get into the company first so I can properly help you out."
