Prologue

The young man cast a quick glance at Zhao Zhenghong's name brand and joked, "Mr. Zhao, the last person who looked at me with that kind of gaze was a woman"

* * *

He recalled what a colleague who had interacted with the 20th floor once said: Anzi is very innocent, Anzi is very upright, Anzi resembles a youth who has not yet entered society, still possessing the virtues that they have long lost and yearn for. Even within the same company, there is no need to worry about being betrayed by him due to conflicts of interest. Just by observing that the other five seasoned veterans in the team did not exclude this youngest member, one can tell that this young man is pure

Wei An's expression grew serious upon hearing this; at that moment, he had already seen that segment, and his face suddenly changed.

After Zhao Zhenghong entered the elevator, the young man closest to the buttons turned his head and smiled, asking him: "Which floor?"

The young man noticed his gaze, turned his face towards him, and raised his eyebrows slightly in question. That smooth, fair face and the innocuous look in his eyes were utterly non-threatening. Zhao Zhenghong really wanted to secretly take a photo and upload it, to show what it means to be a "man who will still be called cute when he grows old". This man is truly tragic

This young man is also dressed in a shirt, suit, and trousers, clearly a colleague from the same building. His bright and handsome features, along with his moderately trimmed black hair and bangs, lend him a touch of youthful innocence, and his smile reveals a faint dimple... How adorable this is!

"It's nothing." Wei An lowered his head and smiled, saying, "I'm fine, I was just startled. I didn't expect... he would be so ruthless..."

A young woman is dressed in a white suit, with long black hair and sweet features. She has an orange string tied around her body with a name tag, and without even looking, he knows it reads "Xu Siping".

What does this signify? Wei An is not the first choice for unmarried women, yet he is a terrifying figure—a wife killer. Now that he has come into contact with Wei An, he understands that Wei An is merely a pure little lamb. Those people—the wives—have seen through the unspoken truth behind that question: to be moved / to strip off the underwear (suitable for discipline)

My idea. Wei An had a noticeable sweetness at the corner of her mouth. She studies fine arts, so ... ...

"It is barely acceptable." Wei An is very modest. "I am just not used to eating out, and since I have a kitchen, I conveniently practice cooking. Fortunately, Brother Lu and the others do not mind."

Wei An smiled and accepted it as a default

Zhao Zhenghong instinctively wanted to take a closer look, but Wei An had already closed his wallet and handed him the business card. "Brother Zhao, just call me Anzi. This phone is my personal one. Let's have lunch together sometime."

With a ding, the elevator doors opened downward, revealing a few employees from different departments of the same company inside. The men were dressed in shirts and suit pants, while the women wore solid-colored suits, each person wearing a name tag hanging from their chest

Zhao Zhenghong did not take it seriously. "Whether one dares to watch horror movies is a trivial matter, do not emulate that person," he said, pointing to the man in the magazine. "The notion of matching social status is nonsense. My girlfriend is the cousin of his fiancée; their family backgrounds are vastly different, and they usually have little interaction. That cousin of hers has a very strong temper, and marrying a wife with such a personality will certainly bring him trouble in the future.

Upon hearing this, Wei An suddenly stopped in his tracks

"So you have a girlfriend now?" he blurted out

"I’m so sorry, I’m just... wait, what is that smell? It’s so fragrant! I just had a meal and I’m already hungry..." Zhao Zhenghong detected a rich aroma of cream on him. "Cream stew, right? Is it sold nearby?" He glanced down at his name tag. Wei An... Wei... Wei An? Upon closer inspection, the title on the name tag read: Office Worker in a Luxury Residence.

Wei An was momentarily taken aback, but then his eyes sparkled with light, and a smile that he could not suppress appeared at the corners of his lips. In the end, he had to cover his mouth to conceal his emotions

I haven't seen this issue yet. The cover introduces this issue as an interview with promising entrepreneurs, featuring a photo of a very handsome man in his thirties, dressed in a suit and tie, exuding an air of sharpness. Wei An's lips curled slightly. The women in his family only like charming men; a man with such an elite demeanor would not catch their eye at all

Zhao Zhenghong estimated that the age difference between them was not significant, yet the other party surprisingly still possessed such a youthful and innocent demeanor, which could be detrimental to a woman's charm

Is it only lunch? Is dinner not an option

At this moment, they arrived at the first floor and exited the elevator together. The lobby was bustling with people. Wei An smiled and said goodbye before preparing to leave, when Zhao Zhenghong called out again

Wei An was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and said: "Well... to be honest, I am a homebody and do not go out at night..."

Wei An half-closed his eyes, revealing a shy expression

Wei An, this person, he is indeed someone I have heard of

Anzi! Here it is!

Wei An

Zhao Zhenghong was unsure whether to feel pity or some other emotion, so he patted him on the shoulder. "Brother, you have worked hard." Is it appropriate to use the words 'worked hard'? "By the way, here is my business card. If you need anything, just find me. Ah... thank you, thank you.

Anzi

If you want to see it, take it. This issue is nothing special; it simply introduces his journey of rising from humble beginnings, how he strived to ascend to his current status, and discusses his well-matched fiancée. Additionally, it includes some experiences from his youth regarding ghost hunting and similar anecdotes.

This guy is really too innocent, Zhao Zhenghong said in a relaxed mood while chatting with him: "I just accidentally caught a glimpse of a sketch in your wallet, why not take a photo? Whose idea was it to use a sketch?"

He took out his wallet to retrieve a business card, and coincidentally, Wei An also pulled out a business card from his wallet. From this angle, he caught a glimpse of a photo in Wei An's wallet... No, it was a sketch, a sketch of a man and a woman; the man was Wei An, but he had never seen the woman before. Zhao Zhenghong's eyelids lifted slightly, just in time to see a noticeable hickey on Wei An's neck.

Xu Siping

Wei An smiled with narrowed eyes

Zhao Zhenghong's expression changed completely as he extended his hand to shake with him. "You must be Wei An, I've long admired your name. My name is Zhao Zhenghong, and I work on the tenth floor. You must have made cream stew for lunch today, right? The aroma is really quite aggressive for someone like me who just had a sandwich, and now I'm hungry again." Seeing Wei An smiling, he then winked and said:

"Are you going to accompany your girlfriend?" Zhao Zhenghong joked

"The art is quite good," Zhao Zhenghong suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I heard that those who study art tend to be a bit eccentric"

Wei An's expression was somewhat subtle, but he quickly concealed it. He smiled and said, "The young lady's temper isn't so bad; it's good that someone is willing to indulge her."

Last month, someone initiated a voting event on the company's internal network, which only allowed female employees to participate. The question was: Which male employee in the company do you find most attractive / want to strip down? Wei An received a decent number of votes, but it was not enough to place him among the top contenders. What caught his attention was that ninety percent of those who voted for Wei An were married.

... ... Experience in exorcising demons? Wei An became intrigued; he opened the magazine and scanned it quickly.

Zhao Zhenghong explained beside him: "He said he encountered a fairy godmother, oh no, he once thought it was a fairy godmother but in fact it was a ghost, and he coexisted with this ghost for two years. In the end, he believed that if he continued to sympathize with this ghost, he would meet an untimely death, so he decided to exorcise the ghost, driving it to a state of utter disarray. He claimed he succeeded. Personally, I believe this is purely a case of fantasy syndrome..."

As people continued to enter and exit the elevator, Zhao Zhenghong accidentally dropped the business magazine he was holding under his arm while handing out his business card. Wei An picked it up for him, and after the two retreated to a corner, Wei An's smile had not yet faded. He said with a smile:

"Wait a moment, Anzi! Anzi! Who is this? The sketch doesn't capture the feeling yet, but this person is truly beautiful. Your girlfriend is also an employee of the company, why didn't you mention it earlier?"

She inadvertently raised her eyes to look this way, her bright eyes meeting Wei An's gaze. At first, she was taken aback, and then she exclaimed in surprise and joy: "Wei An!"

This friend, he wants to make friends

I heard that the office cubicles on the 20th floor have been converted into a small kitchen, and a person named Anzi is the head chef. Initially, I thought there was a cafeteria in the basement, so why go through all this trouble? Today, I realized that your culinary skills are indeed quite impressive

Wei An slowly turned around, following Zhao Zhenghong's gaze, and landed on the young woman who had just emerged from another elevator

On the twentieth floor of this consortium's office, a six-member overseas investment team has taken residence, and their workspace has been designed to resemble a luxury model home. As a result, they have been humorously referred to by other employees as office workers living in a mansion. In response to public sentiment, they have even changed the title on their nameplates to reflect this.

Haha, Anzi, you wouldn't be the type of person who is afraid to watch horror movies, would you

The smile was so sincere. Zhao Zhenghong, slightly surprised, couldn't help but glance at the young man a few more times

Why does the existence of laws matter in this world? If killing were without consequence, it would be great; I want to kill that woman

They are all on the first floor, thank you

He suddenly realized that this adorable Pomeranian was actually Wei An

Although it was merely polite conversation, Wei An's expression was so sincere and innocent that it added a few more points of goodwill and closeness in Zhao Zhenghong's eyes

The young man smiled, and his black eyes followed suit, curving slightly.

It is only through being ruthless that one can reach today's position. No, Anzi, are you really taking this seriously? I am not saying this out of envy for the wealthy; this guy is merely adding some heroic flair to his narrative. He thinks of himself as a hero of humanity, probably inspired by some ghost talk show.

Wei An thought for a moment and nodded. "Brother Zhao is right, I have overreacted."
