Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 149 - 146: The Charming Scenery of the Office

Erin Group Headquarters Building, end of the 3rd-floor corridor.

Huang Yan remained steadfast in his position.

After that gap disappeared, he had activated the real-time recording feature in the system.

However, for the next few hours, there was no movement on that wall.

Just as Huang Yan was about to give up, white wall dust started falling from the wall, and then, a door frame emerged.

[FireFireFire: xdm, something's happening again!]

[FireFireFire: A door! It's a door!] freeωebnovēl.c૦m

[FireFireFire: Sharing video]

[FireFireFire: Damn! The door opened!]

As Huang Yan was typing rapidly, the door suddenly opened inward, and immediately, a familiar figure stepped out.

Guan Ailin saw Huang Yan, who was staring at her with a horrified look, and her steps halted. Her brow lightly furrowed, "You are... from which department? This floor is off-limits tonight. All employees are prohibited from coming near. Didn't you receive the notice, or don't you understand the rules?"

Huang Yan stood there, his whole body stiff, his tongue tied, momentarily unsure of how to respond.

He wasn't as timid as Guo Xiaofu, but...

This is a ten-star female ghost boss!

This is the first time in his life he encountered such a high-level female ghost, and at such a close distance!

The aura from the opposite side was too strong. Just a few reprimanding words made Huang Yan's legs almost buckle. He wished he could kneel before the great president on the spot.

For a boss of this star rating, if slightly provoked, Huang Yan's life could be at risk.

He stammered, "I-I didn't mean to come to the wrong place, I..."

He couldn't possibly say that he had actually been here guarding all day. After thinking for a moment, he made up, "I just pressed the wrong floor earlier, was supposed to go to the cafeteria for food. I'll leave right now, sorry for the disturbance, President Guan."

But Guan Ailin wasn't buying it, "At this hour, the cafeteria is closed."

While speaking, she looked at Huang Yan with a bit more suspicion, "Who sent you here?"

After the previous incident with Yang Jingyuan, Guan Ailin was now very cautious with the subordinates in the company.

Huang Yan's gaze dropped, and he caught a glimpse of the silver threads faintly extending from the fingers at Guan Ailin's side.

Damn! Is she going to bind me with soul threads?

Huang Yan panicked. His muscles tensed up, just about ready to bolt, when—

A familiar voice sounded from the elevator entrance behind him, "I asked him to come over."

Huang Yan spun around abruptly, and upon seeing Wen Nan appear, was almost moved to tears, "Boss, you came to rescue me?"

The moment Guan Ailin saw Wen Nan, her strong aura immediately softened, "You..."

Thinking for a bit, she looked at Huang Yan, "Since you're with Ye Jiu, forget it this time, don't let it happen again."

Huang Yan received his orders and quickly disappeared from the stairway.

Once the corridor was empty except for the two of them, Guan Ailin smiled and approached Wen Nan, raising her hand to lightly stroke his cheek, "I said I'd come find you once I finished the work at hand. Couldn't wait, had to send a little follower to keep tabs on me?"

Wen Nan smoothly grasped her hand in his palm, "Just look at the time now?"

Guan Ailin glanced at the time, surprised, "It's already past ten so fast?"

"Come on, I bought some late-night takeout, let's go back to the office to eat?" Wen Nan said, pulling Guan Ailin towards the elevator entrance.

Five minutes later, when Wen Nan and Guan Ailin arrived at the top-floor presidential office, they saw a petite girl dressed in a Minion delivery uniform holding a takeout box, waiting at the door.

Seeing the two approaching, she eagerly handed the food box to Guan Ailin, "Hello, your takeout!"

Guan Ailin glanced at her and reached out to take the food box, "Thank you."

As she was about to touch the edge of the box, the girl loosened her grip, and the box nearly dropped.

"Oh! Be careful!" The girl hurriedly raised her hand to catch the box while gripping Guan Ailin's hands tightly at the same time.

The moment her palm touched Guan Ailin's hand back, a flash of blood flashed through her eyes.

Wen Nan stood by, watching every move of Qiqi dressed as a Minion. As he noticed the flash of blood, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Is that scarlet blood mist about to appear again?

However, in the next moment—

Guan Ailin took the food box and withdrew her hands from the girl's grasp, then turned to open the door of the presidential office.

This was... directly ignoring Qiqi's [Understanding] skill?

Qiqi stood there in a daze, pouting and looking at Wen Nan, and when Wen Nan came up to her, she whispered, "Bro, her rank is too high, I-I can't manage it..."

Wen Nan raised his hand and gently pinched Qiqi's small, clenched fist, "It's okay, head back first, I'll handle it here."

Looks like trying to take shortcuts with Qiqi's skill isn't going to work.

Wen Nan would have to take matters into his own hands.

Five minutes later, with the food box laid out one by one on the coffee table, Wen Nan and Guan Ailin sat side by side on the sofa.

Guan Ailin held her meal box, looked up at the time, and with an apologetic face said, "I'm sorry, the company's been too busy lately, our planned dinner got delayed until now. I've made you have to eat takeout with me."

Wen Nan laughed, "As long as I can spend the weekend with you, whether it's takeout or a restaurant meal, there's no difference. From now on, for the whole night, you're all mine, being a little late doesn't matter."

However, when Guan Ailin heard Wen Nan's last comforting words, her face showed even deeper guilt.

Wen Nan paused, realizing something, "You're not... planning to work overtime, are you?"

Guan Ailin nodded, "Later, at eleven, there's a conference call... "

"Who in the world has a meeting at eleven on a Saturday night?"

Guan Ailin seemed used to this, "It's ten in the morning in West Zone Five, and I am on call 24/7, year-round."

Wen Nan was speechless, thinking to himself that being a boss seems no easier than being a worker.

With less than twenty minutes to eleven, that late-night meal felt like a rush.

Wen Nan hadn't even finished his last sip of soup when Guan Ailin already opened the conference call interface.

Seeing Wen Nan's grieving gaze, Guan Ailin gave him an apologetic smile. The voices of conference participants came from the computer, and Guan Ailin quickly collected her smile and into work mode.

A workaholic like her wouldn't pay attention to those around her once she was in the zone.

Wen Nan propped his chin with one hand, thinking, am I going to have to wait for two whole hours?

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in his mind—

9527: [Congratulations, you have triggered a new side story—the enchanting scenery of the office.]

9527: [During the conference call, make the target 'exceptionally icy, internally soft female CEO' audibly gasp in a highly restrained state for more than 5 minutes to have the opportunity to receive special equipment rewards from the side story!]

Wen Nan: ???
