The White Peach Alumni Association celebrated their first victory. The next day, Yu Guo reported to her about the previous night’s outcome — rumors were circulating that Pei Shi lost his mind over Bai Tao.

Yu Guo sighed with sorrow and regret, wishing she had been there herself.

“Some even say Pei Shi is blinded by lust! Doesn’t Jiang Yan usually have business dealings with Pei Shi? They say Pei Shi is so professional at work, but completely loses his head when he’s with you… Wow, Bai Tao! I never thought you had such charm, making Pei Shi so devoted to you!”

Bai Tao, as the person involved, simply smiled indifferently, “These people are just jealous. Pei Shi is very professional at work; he just separates his personal and professional life. Last night was just showing others our normal daily life together.”

Bai Tao was somewhat troubled, “Pei Shi becomes so crazy when he loves. I’ve advised him not to, to restrain himself a bit, or people might feel bitter seeing him, but he just won’t listen.”

Though she said that, Bai Tao was actually quite satisfied with her current situation. She felt she had completely mastered how to get along with Pei Shi — this man was very easy to deceive. A few calls of “husband” and she could get him to do whatever she wanted. A kiss or two at the end would easily deceive him.

No wonder they say husbands are like free ducks, isn’t it?

Unfortunately, while her love life flourished, Bai Tao’s career did not go so smoothly.

After bidding farewell to Yu Guo and returning home, Bai Tao was stopped by her assistant, Song Yan.

“Teacher Bai Tao! When will you hand in the new drawing?” the assistant cried, “I even missed out on a man…”

Before Song Yan could finish, Bai Tao immediately interrupted, “I can arrange for a man to hold your hand and put your mind at ease!”

“Teacher!!!”

…

In the end, Bai Tao managed to persuade Song Yan to leave after a series of smooth talks, but afterwards, she also fell silent.

This was not a sustainable way to go on, nor could it be a continuous process.

Looking at the deadline on the calendar, Bai Tao also became somewhat anxious.

According to the story, “Getting Closer to You,” they are currently only in the climax phase: the battle of wits between the overbearing president and his female assistant in the workplace. According to the normal rhythm, Bai Tao knew that the next part should be the most fun with lots of funny episodes.

However, as an artist rather than just a reader, Bai Tao was not happy at all. She didn’t get the inspiration she expected after a nap, and now Bai Tao’s head was completely blank.

To be honest, Bai Tao did have the ability to conceive sweet interactions between the male and female leads, but all interactions needed to be based on the plot. However, for an assistant in the workplace to compete intellectually with her boss was indeed difficult for her…

Bai Tao, who had crossed over, still had experiences that remained in college, and not only did she have no workplace experience, but she was also still exploring many technological experiences five years later. It was simply too difficult for her to imagine the daily life of an ordinary commuter, let alone how the boss would exploit her assistant. Therefore, Bai Tao had no idea how subordinates and superiors could compete intellectually.

In this career life, how could she write without some experience and a background? Besides, how could a prominent wealthy woman like herself have the opportunity to experience the life of a little assistant?

While Bai Tao was in deep thought, the sound of the door opening interrupted her. Pei Shi entered, one hand holding a phone to his ear and the other pushing the door.

He seemed to be on the phone with Yuan Mu: “Yes, I see. Please handle the coordination for tomorrow’s meeting first, and also confirm the flight information on the other side. Yes…”

Bai Tao had been feeling anxious on her own, but Pei Shi’s sudden appearance opened her mind!

No experience, no inspiration—why not give it a try?

Since she was a wealthy woman with a husband like Pei Shi, why not use this status?

When Pei Shi finished his call, Bai Tao immediately adjusted her expression to a sweet one and sent him a flirtatious glance. She coquettishly said, “Darling, you’re back. I missed you so much.”

“…”

Unfortunately, her sweet words seemed to be just that—words. Pei Shi’s expression didn’t seem moved at all; in fact, he appeared somewhat nervous.

Bai Tao cleared her throat and decided to be direct: “Yuan Mu must be quite busy as your assistant, right? After all, your work intensity is always so high.”

Pei Shi was clearly surprised by the change of topic, but he pursed his lips and succinctly replied to Bai Tao’s question, “It’s manageable.”

“But actually, male assistants, they aren’t as attentive as females in many aspects. While he may be skilled in business coordination, in terms of taking care of your daily life, there must be some shortcomings…”

Pei Shi frowned, “What are you trying to say?”

“Just… do you need a female assistant?”

“No need, a male assistant is convenient.”

Bai Tao was deeply moved, “You chose a male assistant for my sake, right? To avoid suspicion, you sacrifice convenience in daily life and choose someone like Yuan Mu, who is a bit rough and careless?”

“Yuan Mu isn’t rough and careless…”

At this point, to avoid self-blame, Bai Tao glanced at Pei Shi, who was still trying his best to find excuses. Don’t all CEOs have a female assistant? It’s just Pei Shi, a married man with high integrity!
