Guining City.
Tianheng Company.
The CEO's Office.
Lin Mo leaned back on the sofa, his head tilted back with a look of comfort, as fine beads of sweat appeared on his young and handsome face.
He was blowing smoke rings from his mouth.
"Can you be a bit gentler next time?"
Before him, the beautiful CEO, with her clothes in disarray, spoke up as she looked up, seemingly complaining.
However, coupled with the flush on her face, she looked exceptionally moving.
If others in the company saw this scene, their jaws would probably drop.
That famously cold beauty of a CEO actually had such a submissive side.
"My dear President Shen, stop being so stubborn. You were shouting so loudly just now, I was worried the company next door would hear."
Lin Mo grinned, smiling brightly.
She claimed she wanted gentleness, but in reality, she exceptionally enjoyed this roughness.
Sometimes, don't believe what women say; instead, look at their actions.
Shen Qingyue gave a lazy smile, neither confirming nor denying.
After blowing another smoke ring, Lin Mo looked at the sexy and glamorous female boss before him and fell into reminiscence.
The cause of all this started last week.
That day, the company's latest secrets were leaked, and everyone was on edge.
Lin Mo, a mere low-level employee, became the scapegoat.
Just as he was about to be fired and held accountable by the company, he suddenly awakened a privacy system.
Simply put, this system allowed him to see anyone's past.
Unspeakable little secrets and embarrassing pasts had nowhere to hide.
Relying on this privacy system, Lin Mo not only successfully caught the mole to prove his innocence but also accidentally discovered that this beautiful boss had actually embezzled company funds.
The amount was as high as tens of millions.
After seizing this leverage, Lin Mo naturally had to do something.
Under the threat of this secret, Shen Qingyue half-reluctantly submitted to Lin Mo.
In just one week, it went from a mere act at the beginning to her being deeply immersed in it now, unable to extricate herself.
It made one sigh at a certain author's famous quote: what was the path to a woman's heart again?
Lin Mo looked down at Shen Qingyue, and then, a virtual panel emerged.
[Name] Shen Qingyue
[Age] 28
[Trust Level] 68%
[Identity] CEO of Tianheng Company, the Chairman's young new wife
[Personal Privacy] Embezzling company funds for capital turnover
[Current Thought] Enjoying the indulgent time with Lin Mo
...The privacy system could see not only past secrets but also the target's current inner thoughts.
Most miraculously, past images could even be saved.
This past week, Lin Mo's mind hadn't been on work; instead, he was immersed in the fun of checking his colleagues' privacy.
Almost everyone had their own little thoughts and secrets.
For example, a glamorous female colleague had a penchant for exhibitionism.
For example, a burly and robust male colleague was actually a scheming bottom.
Or for instance, that proud and cold female boss actually liked being... After obtaining this privacy system, Lin Mo felt the whole world had changed.
Furthermore, every character could establish a trust level with Lin Mo.
5% was the dividing line; neither high nor low, it represented neutrality.
Among the masses, one should never take themselves too seriously.
Once the trust level exceeded 7%, he could perform a system draw.
As for what the rewards were, they were completely random... Office area.
Lin Mo leaned comfortably in his chair, waiting for the end of the workday.
"Lin Mo, you're really brave, actually daring to go against President Shen?"
His colleague, Wang Hao, leaned in and whispered.
"Huh?"
Lin Mo was completely confused and didn't react.
"Stop pretending. When I passed the CEO's office this afternoon, I heard President Shen screaming at the top of her lungs, 'Lin Mo, you little bastard,' and something about 'dying' and so on."
Wang Hao said with a serious face.
He was honest and dutiful, and he greatly admired someone like Lin Mo who dared to go against the leadership.
Lin Mo's eyes twitched slightly as he quickly explained:
"It's nothing, just a bit of a spat with President Shen. You know me, I like to talk back and butt in."
This Wang Hao wore glasses and was quite refined. It was said he had never been in a relationship, and even his first kiss was still intact.
Talking to him about certain matters between men and women was like playing a lute to a cow.
At first, Lin Mo naturally didn't believe an adult could be so naive.
But in front of the privacy system, it was the truth.
"Lin Mo, you're so articulate. Can you help me go on a blind date after work?"
Wang Hao rubbed his hands sheepishly and said with some embarrassment.
Lin Mo was stunned, then used the system to check Wang Hao.
[Name] Wang Hao
[Age] 28
[Trust Level] 63%
[Identity] Employee of Tianheng Company
[Personal Privacy] Extremely shy, afraid to talk to girls, single since birth
[Current Thought] Wants to ask Lin Mo to help him with the blind date to appease his parents
...Lin Mo shook his head; this guy was a lost cause.
However, with Wang Hao's shy personality, the girl would probably leave within three minutes.
"It doesn't have to be a success. Just meet up and say it's not a good match."
Wang Hao continued to plead.
"Fine, you owe me a hotpot meal."
Lin Mo finally agreed.
Although Wang Hao wasn't the brightest and was a bit timid, he was a decent person. In this company, he could be considered a friend.
"Great, I'll send you the meeting address."
Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly. He wasn't socially anxious, but he didn't dare to be alone with a girl. Lin Mo was doing him a huge favor.
After work.
Lin Mo followed the information sent by Wang Hao and headed to the city center for the blind date.
The reason he helped was that he could empathize.
He had only been graduated for a year, and his mom was already constantly nagging him to get married.
During student days, parents desperately try to prevent early romance, but as soon as you graduate, they nag you to get married in all sorts of ways... Six o'clock.
City center.
In front of a restaurant with a beautiful environment.
"Wanli, I'll leave it to you then."
A woman wearing black-rimmed glasses pressed her hands together in prayer toward the pretty girl in a floral dress beside her.
The woman was named Zhu Min. She had a boyfriend of many years, but her parents felt they weren't a good match socially or economically and had always disagreed.
This time, it was a blind date arranged by her family.
The man was an employee of Tianheng Company, with a stable income, honest and dutiful—suitable for marriage.
"Don't worry, Sister Zhu. I guarantee this blind date will be a bust."
The girl smiled confidently, with a "trust me" expression... A short while later.
At the same restaurant entrance.
"This is the place."
Lin Mo looked at the address and the restaurant's name and muttered to himself.
Since it was a blind date arranged by a third party, Wang Hao and the woman didn't even know what each other looked like.
Sometimes, he really didn't understand what marriage was all about.
Lin Mo went straight into the restaurant and headed to the second floor according to the reserved seat.
It was currently sunset, and outside the glass window was a brilliant and dazzling afterglow.
At the reserved seat, a young girl was already sitting calmly.
Lin Mo's eyes widened, and he repeatedly confirmed he hadn't found the wrong place.
But that girl had long black hair, eyebrows like distant mountains, and eyes like clear autumn water. Paired with a light-colored floral dress, a halo of light flickered around her cheeks under the glow of the sunset; she was so beautiful she seemed like a fairy descended to the mortal world.
Damn, she's way too good-looking!
Guining City had a developed entertainment industry, and Lin Mo had seen many female stars up close, but compared to the girl before him, those glamorous women instantly turned into common, vulgar beauties.
What kind of dumb luck did Wang Hao have to be able to go on a blind date with such a beautiful girl?
If it were Wang Hao, he probably wouldn't even have the courage to speak.
Since he was already here, Lin Mo naturally couldn't back down.
He stepped forward and went straight to the point.
"Hello, are you Zhu Min?"
