"Boss! I haven't seen you for so many days. You finally came to the company. I thought I wouldn't see you anymore."

Zheng Xiaobo, who also saw Ye Xuan, ran over excitedly with a bright smile on his face and said.

"You little rascal, cursing me as soon as we meet, can't you speak properly?"

Ye Xuan raised his hand and knocked on Xiaobo's forehead, speaking with mild annoyance.

"Ah... pfft pfft! Boss, I'm sorry. Look at my mouth, I spoke wrong! I really deserve a smack. I was just too excited to see you; please don't take it to heart!"

Zheng Xiaobo slapped his mouth twice, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly.

Zheng Xiaobo didn't know about what happened to Ye Xuan last time. He just thought he misspoke.

However, Ye Xuan didn't mind, shook his head with a smile, and then asked, "Xiaobo, how are you doing as the security manager? How's the work going?"

"It's okay. I don't have your outstanding abilities, so there's nothing particularly impressive, but at least I'm getting by without making mistakes!" Zheng Xiaobo answered honestly.

"That's not bad either. After all, there's little room for advancement in the security department. Performing satisfactorily is acceptable."

Ye Xuan said lightly, then encouraged, "But if you want greater development, you should learn other things in your spare time, constantly improving yourself. Otherwise, you'll be stuck in the security department forever."

"Boss, I understand. I've been studying business management recently, trying to improve myself. In this company, ability speaks the loudest. You can help me for a while but not for a lifetime. I need to work hard on my own, consistently climbing up to seize the opportunities around me." Zheng Xiaobo said earnestly.

"Not bad, your awareness is quite high. With this mindset, I won't worry too much about you." Ye Xuan praised.

He initially worried that Xiaobo might become arrogant after becoming the security manager, which would be detrimental to future development!

But it seems this kid is quite down-to-earth, aware of his abilities and shortcomings, and willing to learn, which is a good sign. It at least proves that he didn't misjudge him! If given the chance, he might provide him with more development opportunities in the future.

"Hehe, my awareness is all thanks to Xiaoying's good teaching." Zheng Xiaobo chuckled.

"Looks like your relationship is developing well! So, have you still been abstaining, or have you 'eaten meat' yet?" Ye Xuan asked with a smile.

Zheng Xiaobo darted his eyes around before leaning closer to Ye Xuan, shyly lowering his voice to say, "Boss, to tell you the truth, I just recently broke my fast! Not long ago, I finally conquered Xiaoying! At the time, she was a bit resistant, but remembering your teachings, I went for it decisively, and Xiaoying gave in."

"Really? You're a promising lad; you haven't forgotten my teachings, not bad!"

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, smiling as he spoke.

Hearing this, Zheng Xiaobo scratched his head embarrassingly, saying, "It's all thanks to your guidance, or I wouldn't have had the guts to shed my virginity."

"You're not just buttering me up, are you?" Ye Xuan asked.

"Of course not, boss. What I'm saying comes from the heart. Why would I butter you up?"

Zheng Xiaobo immediately shook his head, saying solemnly, "Boss, do you remember what you told me? You said to treat women by taking initiative. That's how I got the courage to make a move on Xiaoying! Otherwise, I'd still be wearing that virgin badge."

"I see! So you have a bit of insight; you didn't forget my earnest teachings. You'll surely have a bright future!" Ye Xuan said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's for sure. It's precisely because of your guidance that I was able to quickly wise up and win over Xiaoying."

Zheng Xiaobo smugly raised his brows and said, "Boss, it's just as you said, a man must be assertive and proactive to conquer a woman! Since that night, Xiaoying's attitude towards me has completely changed. She sticks to me every day, talks to me about everything, and even takes the initiative to cook for me! It's like she's a completely different person, so gentle that I've been living blissfully these days."

"Xiaoying is the kind of girl who, once she's set on someone, will follow him wholeheartedly. The current situation is very good, and it's exactly the time for you to push harder! Completely conquer her heart, and remember, you must not retreat. If you back down now, it'll be like pouring a bucket of cold water on her, chilling her heart, and the consequences could be quite severe!" Ye Xuan advised seriously.

"Don't worry, boss, I won't retreat! I've been longing for this moment. I'll keep working hard and won't mess it up."

Zheng Xiaobo said seriously.

"Good, I have faith in you," Ye Xuan nodded.

At this point, Zheng Xiaobo remembered something and continued, "Oh, right, boss, there's one more thing I need to tell you. Considering my current situation with Xiaoying, it's time we had our own home! So we decided to use the money you gave us to make a down payment on a house in the East Sea."

"If you think you need it, go ahead and buy it! That's between you two, I won't interfere." Ye Xuan said.

"Then we're planning to buy it. Xiaoying and I have discussed it; once the house is settled, we'll get our marriage certificate."

Zheng Xiaobo grinned broadly, his smile radiant.

"That's great news; you're not getting any younger, you should settle down! Hurry up, I'm looking forward to your wedding banquet." Ye Xuan laughed.

"Definitely, definitely, I'll let you know when the time comes."

Zheng Xiaobo promised wholeheartedly, nodding.

Then, as if remembering something again, he hesitated for a moment before carefully asking, "By the way, boss, how are things with sister Miaochan?"

"We're doing great, that issue was resolved a while ago! I've just been busy these days and didn't get the chance to tell you." Ye Xuan shrugged.

"Oh, that's good to hear. As long as things are fine between you two, I'm relieved."

Zheng Xiaobo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled easily.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan chuckled and gently patted Zheng Xiaobo's shoulder, saying, "You, don't worry unnecessarily about my affairs, focus more on yourself! You and Xiaoying are at a crucial stage now; don't slacken the string! It's not easy for you two to get together; make sure to cherish it well."

"Also, keep your eyes open and watch out for others! Xiaoying is such an outstanding girl; she might get taken away by someone else. You don't have much capital yourself, don't let someone else exploit any gaps."

Ye Xuan advised again.

"Boss, I understand. I won't let anyone get close to Xiaoying, and I'll protect our relationship well." Zheng Xiaobo said with determination.
