Jin Nian couldn’t believe it and messaged Xia Yu, “He’s the boss of Whale? The Fire Dragon you all often talk about?”
Xia Yu replied with three exclamation marks, “That’s right, it’s him, handsome, right!!!”
“Is our boss even more handsome than a celebrity?”
“… Well, he’s okay.”
She was genuinely shocked.
“You call this just okay?”
“Then 1 have to see your hubby when I get the chance. He must be incredibly handsome!”
Jin Nian was embarra.s.sed and didn’t know how to respond.
At that moment, the people who had been in the CEO’s office came out. The three colleagues in front of Jin Nian knocked on the door and entered.
Jin Nian stood at the door and hesitated, a wall separating her from the others.
She still hadn’t fully processed this. How could Lu An be Boss Whale? Did that mean all the gossip she had heard at the company was about Lu An?
Could it be such a coincidence?
So, when Lu An had been driving her to work recently, he had been coming to work upstairs himself?
No wonder he had invited her to play Whale’s game and the parking lot security had let him in when he drove up.
As she pondered these various coincidences, Jin Nian realized that everything was starting to make sense.
Even the company name, Whale, was so familiar to her. Could it be that Lu An was the Instagram user known as Whale?
Just as she was in a daze, a few colleagues in front of her finished signing and came out of the CEO’s office. The girl at the back kindly reminded her, “Hurry and go in, there’s no one inside.”
Jin Nian stood at the door, hesitating.
She opened her chat with Lu An and sent a message, “What are you doing?”
He replied almost instantly, “Slacking off.”
“What’s the name of your company again?”
“Take a guess.”
Jin Nian didn’t respond and took a deep breath. She slowly pushed open the CEO’s office door, trying to peek inside.
In an instant, her eyes met a familiar gaze.
The two of them looked at each other without speaking.
No need to guess anymore. Lu An worked in the Whale Building. Not only did he work here, but he was also the formidable CEO.
Connecting the dots, Jin Nian realized she had been slow to catch on.
She stood there holding the doc.u.ments, feeling like she had been caught in an invisible whirlwind.
Lu An hadn’t expected this either. He was chatting with Jin Nian on his phone when he saw her standing outside the door like a lost goose.
They exchanged glances, and it was Jin Nian who couldn’t hold back her laughter first. She called out tentatively, “Fire Dragon?”
Lu An wore a puzzled expression, “What are you calling me?”
“Fire Dragon.” Jin Nian raised her voice this time, “Isn’t that what everyone calls you?”
“Do you want to get beaten up?” Lu An approached her, pulling her into the office and closing the door behind them. He had known about the nickname employees used in private, but he had never heard it spoken so boldly in front of him.
The more Jin Nian thought about it, the more she wanted to laugh, especially thinking about how her colleagues from other departments had been complaining about Fire Dragon’s office erupting in flames and warning everyone not to provoke him.
So, what did this domesticated Fire Dragon look like when he breathed fire?
The two of them stood close, and Jin Nian grinned, looking up at Lu An. “Why don’t you show me some fire-breathing?”
Lu An didn’t agree. Instead, he reached out and pinched Jin Nian’s cheek. “If 1 breathe fire, will you be responsible for extinguishing it?”
“How do I exterminate them?”
“There are plenty of ways, Princess Pillow.”
Jin Nian blushed at the teasing and quickly changed the subject. “Lu An, do you know what everyone usually calls you in private?”
“Of course, I know.”
Whale was his company, and he observed his employees like a teacher overseeing students. He saw everything they did.
But he didn’t mind. As long as everyone completed their a.s.signed tasks, he didn’t concern himself with anything else.
As Lu An spoke, he approached and wrapped his arm around Jin Nian’s waist.
Jin Nian was startled and quickly pushed him away. “Are you crazy? This is a company!”
“This is my company,” Lu An replied, stepping forward and taking her hand.
“You didn’t even tell me about something this big. Deceiver!” Jin Nian wanted to give him a piece of her mind.
“Stop talking nonsense and making baseless accusations, Jin Xiaonian.”
“I told you about this before. It’s you who didn’t listen to me..”
