After Ma Anna brought Chen Bin home, she helped him into the guest room.
As Chen Bin flopped onto the bed, he directly reached out and hugged Ma Anna's slender waist, causing both of them to fall onto the bed together.
Immediately following that, he pressed her down with his body and directly kissed her luscious, full lips.
In an instant, Ma Anna felt her mind go completely blank, leaving her momentarily dumbfounded.
But she quickly came to her senses and began struggling constantly.
At this moment, Chen Bin suddenly cupped her face, said with deep emotion all over his face.
"I... I love you."
Upon hearing this, Ma Anna was stunned as if enchanted, dazed in place.
Yet, at this time, Chen Bin fell asleep on her graceful body.
Feeling as if she couldn't breathe being pressed down like that, only then did Ma Anna struggle to get up.
She looked at Chen Bin on the bed, frowning slightly.
"You scoundrel!"
Immediately after, she turned around and shut the door.
The next morning, when Chen Bin came out of the room and saw Ma Anna, he was a bit dazed.
"This is your house?"
"Where else did you think you were? Hurry and get downstairs for breakfast!"
Ma Anna's tone was clearly a bit off, seemingly still holding a grudge about last night's incident.
Chen Bin, however, merely smiled and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
When he arrived at the downstairs dining area, he found a young girl in her twenties standing beside Ma Anna.
She was wearing an apron and looked quite pretty.
The two of them exchanged a glance, and the girl smiled and walked away.
After sitting down, Chen Bin asked, "Who is she?"
"My housekeeper."
"I must say, she's quite good-looking!"
Hearing this, Ma Anna gave Chen Bin a kick.
She said irritably, "Eat your breakfast!"
Scratching his head, Chen Bin seemed somewhat puzzled.
"Why are you speaking like this this morning? Is it that time of the month for you?"
"Ugh, no, it's that time for you!"
"By the way, I remember we were drinking together. How did I end up at your place?"
Ma Anna stared intently at Chen Bin, somewhat dissatisfied as she asked.
"Did you forget everything you said and did last night?"
With a bewildered look, Chen Bin held his chest, "I'm still a pure young man, how could you take advantage of me while I'm drunk?"
Unhappily, Ma Anna placed the milk on the table, speaking fiercely.
"Even if I drink myself to death, I won't care about you anymore!"
Chen Bin didn't say much about it but instead diverted the subject.
"I've been in politics for years, so I'm surely lacking in business experience. A few days ago, Ma Juan contacted me to work at her company. I thought it was quite nice. She's single now, maybe I can latch onto a rich lady!"
Knowing that Ma Juan was a wealthy woman, Ma Anna angrily slapped the knife and fork onto the table.
She asked irritably, "What conditions did she offer you?"
"A yearly salary of a million, and that doesn't include bonuses. Plus, they provide a car and house for free."
Without hesitation, Ma Anna earnestly asked.
"If I offer you the same benefits, would you be willing to work at my company?"
With a dry laugh, Chen Bin countered, "Are you joking with me?"
Ma Anna, on the other hand, wore a gloomy face with a serious expression.
"Do I look like I'm joking with you right now?"
"Why do you want me to work at your company?"
"No reason, just say if you would be willing to go!"
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Bin finally replied.
"I can consider working at your company, but I need to live with you!"
Without any hesitation, Ma Anna directly shook her head in refusal.
"No way, absolutely not!"
"Your house is so big, I wouldn't even be in the same room as you, why not? Besides, we're old classmates. Living together can strengthen our connection, it would be great!"
"No means no! I can rent a villa nearby identical to mine for you."
"I don't care, I just want to live with you. If you don't agree, I'll go to Ma Juan's place and live with her!"
Speaking, Chen Bin crossed his arms, looking very smug.
With furrowed brows, Ma Anna considered for a long time, finally biting her lip and nodding her agreement.
"Fine, you can live at my place, but you have to sign a contract with me today!"
"No problem."
Chen Bin originally thought it wouldn't be easy to enter Ma Anna's company, yet unexpectedly, by retreating in order to advance, he managed to get in.
Obviously, that was a good thing.
However, this also caused Chen Bin some concern, not knowing whether the other party was genuinely interested in him, or if there was another motive.
Ma Anna's company is called MA Technology Co., Ltd, located in the Fourth Ring of the Imperial Capital.
Upon arriving, Chen Bin realized that it was quite large with many office staff.
As he followed Ma Anna to the entrance, a middle-aged man came up to greet them.
The man appeared to be in his forties or fifties, meticulously dressed.
He looked quite ordinary, with small eyes, yet always gave off a mysterious vibe.
The middle-aged man first glanced at Chen Bin, then greeted Ma Anna.
"Chairman Ma!"
She nodded slightly before starting the introductions.
"This is Yu Hong, the company's general manager. This is Chen Bin, my assistant."
Chen Bin immediately smiled and reached out, "Mr. Yu, hello. I'm new here, please take good care of me."
Yu Hong merely touched Chen Bin's hand before quickly letting go, his face devoid of extra expression.
However, dissatisfaction was written all over his eyes.
"I need to go announce this at a meeting, you should come to the meeting room as well."
Casually instructing Yu Hong, Ma Anna then led Chen Bin away.
Even though he walked ahead, Chen Bin could distinctly feel two cold glints tightly fixed on his back.
After the meeting, he formally joined the company as Ma Anna's assistant.
While Chen Bin was familiarizing himself with the company environment, Yu Hong went to Ma Anna's office.
He asked sternly, "Is this Chen Bin reliable?"
Ma Anna locked her sharp gaze on him.
Her voice carried displeasure as she said, "Are you questioning my judgment of people?"
"Not at all, I'm just concerned that you might not know Chen Bin well enough. For the company's future development, I think it's necessary to investigate him properly."
"He's my university classmate; I'm very familiar with his situation. There's no need for an investigation. Do you have anything else? If not, please leave!"
Seeing that Ma Anna has issued an eviction order, Yu Hong had no choice but to leave sulkily.
However, being naturally suspicious, Yu Hong still felt it was necessary to investigate Chen Bin.
Three days later, the secretary placed Chen Bin's information on his desk, leaving Yu Hong completely astonished.
He never expected that Chen Bin had previously been a deputy minister-level leader.
For someone so young to hold a high position, then suddenly resign to work as an assistant at a recently established company, it simply doesn't make sense.
Finally, learning that Chen Bin was living with Ma Anna, Yu Hong was infuriated.
After careful consideration, he decided to get Chen Bin out of the company as soon as possible!
