Chapter 235 Heroes Cannot Pass the Beauty's Gate

As the little assistant stepped out, she coincidentally met Su Qing. She casually placed the plate on a nearby table and hugged Su Qing. "Sister Su, sob sob, the CEO's wife is too kind!" As soon as she said this, everyone else in the CEO's office looked over. Su Qing asked, "What do you mean?" The little assistant recounted everything that had happened in the office, including the sentence Tan Zheng had spoken when she entered. As soon as she finished speaking, everyone gasped. One person had just finished looking at the company's internal chat group. "So, does CEO Tan really have lipstick on his chin?" They had entered too quickly and couldn't see clearly. The little assistant nodded. The person who had asked almost screamed and quickly posted a message in the chat group. "The situation is confirmed." Since everyone in the CEO's office said so, it must be true! Early in the morning, due to Song Ni's arrival and the lipstick mark on Tan Zheng's chin, everyone at GN Group was exceptionally energetic. While it was amusing, with the end of the year approaching, there was too much work to be done, and everyone quickly immersed themselves in their tasks. However, they would always find an excuse to visit the top-floor CEO's office during their free time. Unfortunately, Song Ni stayed in Tan Zheng's office, and they didn't have direct access to Tan Zheng. Song Ni was quite bored. She had originally come to see Su Qing. While she had indeed met Su Qing, she hadn't had a chance to chat. Tan Zheng was too busy, and if he was busy, Su Qing naturally couldn't relax. Song Ni sat on the sofa, watching people come and go. At first, they would glance at her with curiosity. Later, due to work and Tan Zheng's sternness, they were all reprimanded and lowered their heads. Although they were eager to gossip, work was still more important. Song Ni truly witnessed how busy the leaders of a group were at the end of the year. Having drunk some alcohol the night before, Song Ni hadn't slept enough. After playing games silently on the sofa for a while, sleepiness crept in. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned. Song Ni drifted off to sleep leaning against the sofa. Tan Zheng had been paying some attention to Song Ni. The moment she fell asleep, Tan Zheng raised his hand to stop his subordinate's report. Then, under everyone's gaze, the boss, who had been cold-faced just moments ago, now had a gentle expression. He carefully and gently picked up the sleeping girl. Not being deeply asleep, Song Ni instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck as Tan Zheng picked her up. Her eyes were half-open, and her voice was slurred. "Are you done with work?" Tan Zheng replied with a hum and lowered his head to kiss her eyelids. "Mm, sleep soundly." Song Ni closed her eyes again. Tan Zheng carried her into the inner lounge. Those still in the office didn't know where to look. Someone coughed inadvertently, fearing they might wake the people inside. However... Tan Zheng went in and hadn't come out for ten minutes. They weren't impatient, but after so long, they couldn't help but gossip in hushed tones. "Did you see? CEO Tan was so gentle just now." "Good heavens, I wasn't this affectionate when I was dating my wife." "But the CEO's wife does look very delicate." "You shouldn't say that." "A hero can't resist a beauty." "Do you think Madam doesn't have any capabilities?" "What do you mean?" "Many people online haven't been able to find out Madam's background. Do you know which family she's from?" "Which family?" "The Song family." "Is it the Song Corporation that just finalized our cooperation?" "Do you think CEO Tan would really agree to Madam going into entertainment?" "You should say whether Madam is willing to go." "That's true." Fifteen minutes later, Tan Zheng finally came out. Everyone returned to their original demeanor. However, when it came to discussing work, everyone unconsciously lowered their voices, afraid of disturbing the person inside. Throughout the morning, after meeting nearly ten groups of people, Tan Zheng finally had some free time. As soon as he entered the lounge, Song Ni slowly woke up. "You're awake?" Song Ni yawned softly and glanced at the time. "I slept for so long." "Mm, it's just in time for lunch." Song Ni sat up and realized something was wrong. She noticed her clothes had been changed, which explained why she slept so comfortably. "You changed my clothes? These clothes are quite troublesome." Tan Zheng leaned against the headboard and hugged Song Ni with a smile. "It took me fifteen minutes to change." Song Ni chuckled, but her smile faded slightly. She remembered someone was reporting work in the office before she fell asleep. So... Song Ni's eyes widened. "You made your employees wait for so long?" The man raised an eyebrow. "Why not?" Song Ni's face turned slightly red, and she raised her hand to punch Tan Zheng's chest. "You have no shame, but I do!" The man laughed, grabbed Song Ni's hand, and kissed it. "I didn't do anything. Fifteen minutes, and they can imagine so much?" Song Ni: ... Seeing that Song Ni was speechless, Tan Zheng laughed heartily, all the fatigue of the morning vanished. No wonder his father always urged him to have his mother accompany him to work. It turned out... having his wife accompany him to work made a real difference. Tan Zheng smiled and patted Song Ni's waist. "Hurry up and get ready, I'll take you to eat." Song Ni blinked. "The company cafeteria?" "Do you want to eat in the company cafeteria?" "Of course." "Alright, I'll listen to you." Song Ni got out of bed. She didn't have any clothes here, so Tan Zheng lent her his shirt. His clothes were very large, and the hem covered Song Ni's thighs. However... the moment Song Ni got out of bed, Tan Zheng's gaze changed. His black shirt on Song Ni exuded a completely different charm. Song Ni had fair skin and a slender figure. The top three buttons of the collar were undone, revealing her delicate collarbones and a large expanse of skin, as well as... tantalizing cleavage. Tan Zheng's gaze was too intense for Song Ni to ignore. Song Ni frowned and turned around. After seeing where Tan Zheng's gaze was fixed, she immediately clutched her collar and cursed, "Old pervert." Tan Zheng chuckled and walked over, wrapping his arms around Song Ni's waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. "Shall we eat later?" Song Ni rolled her eyes and unceremoniously pushed his hands away. "No, I'm hungry." What was this dog-man Tan Zheng thinking? This was in his office, and he still had so much work to do, yet he was thinking about that. The man chuckled lowly and bit her shoulder lightly. "Then let's go eat. We can't let my good girl starve." Song Ni spent another fifteen minutes changing and tidying herself up. By the time she was ready and went out, it was just past the peak dining hour. Su Qing had been waiting outside and stood up as soon as she saw them emerge. Song Ni stepped forward and took Su Qing's hand. "Come eat with us." Su Qing really wanted to agree, but after seeing her boss's eyes, she regretfully shook her head. "Madam, I've already eaten. The company's restaurant is very good. I recommend the Mao Xue Wang. This dish is very popular, and if you go late, it'll be gone." She knew Song Ni liked spicy food, and this dish was popular and delicious. However, it would always be available for Song Ni, no matter when she went. She had already specially instructed the restaurant. Song Ni was indeed hungry and involuntarily swallowed upon hearing the name. Tan Zheng stepped forward and put his arm around her waist. "Let's go eat first."
