Chapter 201 Jealous Secretary?

"Woaah!" they exclaimed, their voice cutting through the silence like a beacon of enthusiasm.

"Long live President Lin!" another employee shouted, and suddenly, the room erupted in a cacophony of cheers and applause.

The atmosphere had transformed in an instant, with the employees' attitudes undergoing a complete 180-degree change.

The news of salary increases and promising growth opportunities had injected new energy and optimism into the workplace.

More voices joined in, each shouting words of praise and excitement:

"Twenty percent raise? You're the best!"

"I can finally afford that dream vacation!"

"Lin Group and Long Feng Group, a match made in heaven!"

"I knew staying with this company was the right choice!"

Employees clapped one another on the back, exchanged high-fives, and let out victorious whoops. The office had turned into a sea of jubilation, with everyone reveling in the promising future ahead.

Lin Ruoxi observed the transformation with a satisfied smile, her heart swelling with pride as she saw the renewed hope and energy coursing through her dedicated employees. This was the kind of response she had hoped for when she made the announcement.

Beside her, Yu Lei turned her surprised gaze toward Zhang Wei. Her admiration for him grew, and her eyes transformed into crescent moons.

She now knew that he was capable man!

Fang Dongmei, on the other hand, was caught off-guard by the sudden shift in atmosphere. Her gaze darted around, trying to make sense of the unfolding events.

It was clear to her that Zhang Wei had once again employed a simple but effective strategy—reward and punishment.

Employees now had a choice: stay and enjoy a substantial pay raise while turning a blind eye to certain actions, or risk their careers by causing trouble.

With the employees immersed in their celebrations, Lin Ruoxi decided to step back.

All three of them entered the elevator together. Strangely, the employees no longer paid much attention to Zhang Wei's embrace of both Lin Ruoxi and Yu Lei.

Even those who had once harbored jealousy were forced to swallow their feelings, understanding that they were not worthy of such a privilege.

Moreover, the salary hikes had already been secured. As for Zhang Wei's identity being tied to Long Feng Group, no one wanted to offend the big bosses.

The employees had long learned that sometimes it was wiser to close one eye to certain actions if it meant securing a brighter future.

As the elevator doors closed, the trio left behind a workplace buzzing with excitement and newfound motivation, all thanks to a strategic move that had once again showcased Zhang Wei's cunning mind.

_______

The elevator finally came to a halt at the thirty-eighth floor, and Yu Lei, whose workplace was on another floor, had already departed, leaving Lin Ruoxi alone with Zhang Wei.

As the elevator doors slid open, Lin Ruoxi was greeted by the curious eyes of Wu Xue, who had undoubtedly heard about the chaos on the ground floor. "Ruoxi, you're finally back!" In a surprising move, Wu Xue stepped forward and embraced Lin Ruoxi in a warm hug.

!!

Her blonde hair brushed across Zhang Wei's face, causing him to involuntarily close his eyes and take a deep breath.

[Host, should I mark her as your next target?] The system asked, fully aware of Zhang Wei's tendencies. Wu Xue's days seemed to be numbered in his eyes.

Wu Xue couldn't shake her nervousness as she anxiously awaited her friend's return. But when Lin Ruoxi finally walked in, seemingly unchanged, her worries felt entirely baseless.

In that moment, Lin Ruoxi flinched, her hesitation barely noticeable as she slowly extended her arms, wrapping them tenderly around Wu Xue.

As they parted, Wu Xue's eyes twitched with sudden realization. Zhang Wei's hand firmly gripped Lin Ruoxi's waist, and the unspoken message was crystal clear.

In that instant, the reality hit her like a sledgehammer.

She was a fool to think that Lin Ruoxi hadn't changed!

Her friend, infact had betrayed her!

Now, she was the only one left single!

Wu Xue didn't want to become a "Sheng Nu" (leftover woman)!

Wu Xue's narrowed eyes bore into Zhang Wei, a seething resentment smoldering within her. It was evident he had conveniently forgotten about her after their last encounter!

But, as someone who hadn't even confirmed their relationship, Wu Xue could only swallow the multitude of complaints bubbling within her.

With a forced smile, she greeted Lin Ruoxi, acutely aware that she couldn't afford to throw a temper tantrum in front of her friend.

The gap in their social status was glaringly evident.

Zhang Wei, on the other hand, seemed perfectly content to ignore her as long as he had Lin Ruoxi by his side.

Wu Xue knew she needed to find an opportunity to speak with him privately.

As she observed Wu Xue's slight crestfallen expression, Zhang Wei couldn't help but be amused.

This woman may have been a grown adult, but her emotions were on full display, and even Lin Ruoxi was regarding them with suspicion.

Sometimes, Zhang Wei couldn't help but wonder if women only grew physically and never emotionally, forever remaining as adorable children.

Then, a flicker of thought crossed his mind.

Perhaps not all women were adorable...

Well, at the very least, the beautiful ones always seemed to have that endearing quality.

Zhang Wei's belief in superficial judgments was clear. He assessed women based on their outward appearance, firmly convinced that he could mold their inner personalities under his guidance, much like he believed he had already changed Lin Ruoxi.

"Eh?"

A dazed Wu Xue let out a startled gasp as she seemed to freeze in place. To everyone's surprise, Zhang Wei boldly took her hand and embraced her right in front of Lin Ruoxi.

"W-What are you doing? Let go of me!" Wu Xue stammered, desperately attempting to break free, her anxious eyes darting between Zhang Wei and Lin Ruoxi.

Lin Ruoxi was initially taken aback, but she quickly regained her composure. It appeared that their friendship was bound to be an everlasting presence, following them even into these unexpected situations.

Zhang Wei had set his sights on her friend, and Lin Ruoxi knew all too well how it would end.

Little did she know, Wu Xue had long surrendered to Zhang Wei's hold. "Xue, are you throwing a tantrum now, huh? Do I need to teach you how to behave?" He whispered in her ear, causing Wu Xue to shudder and nervously gulp.

This woman was surprisingly cute, and her initial resistance seemed to awaken a slightly sadistic streak in Zhang Wei. Fortunately, Wu Xue quickly grasped the situation and ceased her resistance, preventing herself from becoming the next Xiong Mei.

"...."

"...."

The hallway fell into an awkward silence, with Zhang Wei relishing his moment of triumph, holding both Wu Xue and Lin Ruoxi like a king.

Meanwhile, the two women appeared to be in disarray. Wu Xue couldn't raise her head, and Lin Ruoxi struggled to maintain her composure. She scrutinized Wu Xue for any signs of injury, worried that Zhang Wei might have mistreated her in her absence.

Fortunately, it seems he didn't abuse her.

Well, in fact, he did abuse her, but not in the way she had imagined.
