"Come out with me."

Ling Qingya swept a glance at Ye Luo and walked directly out, the latter’s eyes meaningfully swept over Li Wanqin before he followed out.

"Do you know Wan Qin?"

Ling Qingya turned around, her gaze icy as she looked at Ye Luo.

"This, no, I don’t."

Ye Luo shook his head. Naturally, he could not reveal the truth; otherwise, having just started at the company, he might be swiftly ousted by Ling Qingya.

"I hope you can comport yourself properly within the company. Don’t bring those playboy thoughts into this workplace. If I find you involved in anything inappropriate, I will immediately have you leave Ling Corporation."

Ling Qingya left these cold words behind and left directly.

Ye Luo could only shake his head helplessly; it seemed this task would not be easy to complete.

Meanwhile, as Ye Luo followed Li Wanqin into the office, in Hou Dayong’s office, the figure known as Hei Zi stood there, his gaze fixed on Hou Dayong before him, "Minister, it seems you have issues with Vice Chief Ye?"

"What do you think?"

Hou Dayong’s eyes flashed with a somber look as he watched Hei Zi.

"Minister, this Vice Chief Ye doesn’t seem simple at all."

"I’m telling you, from now on, keep an eye on him for me. Find opportunities to trip him up; just make sure he doesn’t have an easy time here," Hou Dayong said coldly to Hei Zi.

Upon hearing Hou Dayong’s words, Hei Zi’s expression changed and he said, "Minister, he’s the president’s..."

"Enough, don’t waste your breath, I know. Just do as you’re told, and you won’t be in any trouble. I’ll give you an extra ten thousand a month."

"Alright, I understand."

Hei Zi’s demeanor suddenly changed upon hearing the offer of an extra ten thousand, becoming very excited and he hastily agreed.

Ye Luo, on the other hand, returned to his small office, appearing very leisurely.

Although the work of the Security Department seemed important, it was actually quite relaxed since Ling Corporation, one of Zhonghai’s top five conglomerates, naturally didn’t have troublemakers bold enough to cause disturbances here.

Therefore, these security guards were quite at ease most of the time.

Ye Luo had been playing games in the office all morning and only went out when it was time for lunch.

"Vice Chief Ye, let’s go to the cafeteria together for lunch."

At that moment, Hei Zi and Hu Zi approached, speaking to Ye Luo.

"Cafeteria? The company has a cafeteria?" Ye Luo asked in surprise.

"Of course. Ling Corporation has thousands of employees; how could it not have a cafeteria? And the food there is quite good, too."

"Then let’s go quickly; I’m starving."

Ye Luo immediately urged, taking Hei Zi aback.

On the fifth floor of Ling Corporation, the entire floor housed the cafeteria, which could accommodate thousands of people eating at the same time. This was a special arrangement by Ling Corporation to ensure all employees could work normally.

At this moment, the restaurant was filled with a large group of people, bustling with activity. Ye Luo immediately spotted Ling Qingya, who was sitting alone; there was no one within ten meters of her.

However, quickly Li Wanqin came with a tray and sat beside her, suggesting the two shared a good relationship.

Ye Luo, following Hei Zi and the others, took their dishes and then began looking for a place to sit. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Aren’t there so many seats over there? Do we still need to look for a spot?"

Ye Luo said, seemingly amused, and headed directly towards Ling Qingya to sit next to her, facing her directly.

"Maybe we should find a different spot," said Hei Zi with slight unease.

Looking at Ye Luo sitting there, both Hei Zi and Hu Zi appeared somewhat uncomfortable, stealing glances at Ling Qingya before quickly moving away.

"Hey, if you don’t even have this much courage, how are you going to chase after beauties in the future?"

Ye Luo shook his head in exasperation. Then, with a smile tugging at his lips, he began eating his braised pork, his eyes roving with interest over Ling Qingya’s table, leaving one to wonder whether he was looking at Ling Qingya or Li Wanqin.

Both women seemed to think Ye Luo was looking at them, and their expressions became noticeably awkward.

At this moment, most people in the restaurant were looking towards Ye Luo. Since Ling Qingya had started eating in this restaurant, aside from her good work friend, Li Wanqin, no one dared to join her or even get close to her.

Nobody dared approach, mainly because they lacked the courage, as Ling Qingya presented an air of being something one could only admire from afar but never play with.

No one expected Ye Luo to simply sit down beside these two beauties and even watch them while eating.

For a moment, Ye Luo became the object of envy, jealousy, and resentment among many male employees at Ling Corporation. However, when they thought of the rumors regarding Ye Luo’s relationship with their CEO, they seemed to come to terms with it.

At that moment, a mature and steady man clad in a suit slowly approached, his handsome face and mature male aura suggesting he was in his late twenties—a successful man. This was none other than Chen Yaowen, the Vice President of Ling Corporation.

A top student graduated from a leading business school in the United States, he had a strong business acumen and, by a twist of fate, joined Ling Corporation, quickly rising to the position of Vice President. Following Ling Qingya, he became the most favored male among female employees.

Of course, many believed that Chen Yaowen joined Ling Corporation for Ling Qingya. No one could confirm this, but given Chen Yaowen’s exceptional abilities and qualifications, working at Ling seemed somewhat beneath him, so him choosing to stay indicated an ulterior motive.

As soon as Chen Yaowen entered the restaurant, his eyes instantly looked towards Ling Qingya, but when his gaze fell on Ye Luo sitting beside her, his expression darkened, a cold light flickering in his eyes.

Finally, under Ye Luo’s gaze, both Ling Qingya and Li Wanqin felt uncomfortable and quickly left with their unfinished meals. Ye Luo continued to sit there eating, but his gaze was withdrawn.

"Hello, Mr. Ye!"

A hearty voice sounded in front of Ye Luo, who had just bitten into a chicken leg. He raised his head to see a man in a suit standing before him.

"Who are you?"

Ye Luo bit into the chicken leg and asked directly.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Yaowen, a graduate of the Frock Business School in the United States, and currently the Vice President of Ling Corporation," said Chen Yaowen with a confidently successful demeanor, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance and self-satisfaction.

"Oh," replied Ye Luo nonchalantly, causing Chen Yaowen’s expression to darken.

"Mr. Ye, I’ve heard of you. You’re the scion of the Ye Family, one of the former four great families of Zhonghai, known for your lack of discipline and profligacy. After the Ye Family’s fall, I didn’t expect to find you here, scraping by for a meal."
