165: Chapter 165 Role Playing?

After the meeting, Chen Fan had just returned to his office and sat down when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Qiao Linlin walked in, her high heels clicking. Chen Fan was instantly stunned.

What was he seeing? Qiao Linlin had actually walked in wearing a uniform.

It was a classic professional look: a small black suit jacket, a white shirt, and a black pencil skirt. The hemline ended just above her knees, revealing a section of her calves wrapped in black stockings, with black high heels on her feet. Her hair was tied back in a low ponytail, making her look capable and sharp.

"Why are you dressed like this for work?" Chen Fan asked, leaning back in his chair.

Qiao Linlin stood in front of the desk, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes. "Don't assistants or secretaries on TV all dress like this?"

"You said it yourself—that's on TV." Chen Fan rolled his eyes. Although he really liked Qiao Linlin in this outfit, this was the office. Even if this kind of professional attire was within the normal range, other employees would inevitably look at her strangely.

Besides, if she swayed around in front of him in this outfit all day, how was he supposed to focus on work? This sort of thing was more suitable for wearing at home.

"Change out of that tomorrow and wear normal clothes."

"Okay, Boss. I'll change in a bit," Qiao Linlin said without the slightest hesitation.

"Since you've already worn it today, just leave it. Change tomorrow."

"Okay." Hearing Chen Fan's words, the corners of Qiao Linlin's mouth curled up, and she turned to leave.

Chen Fan's voice rang out again: "How is the work in administration going? The new hires aren't giving you any trouble, are they?"

"No. They heard I was the company's first employee and your assistant, so how could they not respect me?" She paused and smiled. "But I don't micromanage them too much; I just explain the tasks clearly and let them get to it. They're sensible enough not to make things difficult for me."

"That's good." Chen Fan had initially worried that the new employees might not respect Qiao Linlin because of her young age, which was why he had Zhou Min recruit young girls.

"By the way, Boss, one of the new girls is quite pretty. She heard the boss is very handsome and was even asking me about you," Qiao Linlin said in a light, teasing tone.

Chen Fan had no interest in that girl. He had seen her this morning; she was indeed fairly pretty, but she was far from Qiao Linlin's level.

"I remember the new hires this time are all university graduates with work experience, so they should be older than you, right? How did they become 'little girls' in your mouth?"

Qiao Linlin felt a bit embarrassed. Having been at the company for a long time and being the first to arrive, she subconsciously viewed herself as a senior, which was why she felt the new arrivals were 'little girls.'

"Right, how is the software enterprise certification coming along?" Chen Fan continued to ask.

"It's already been submitted to the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology and approved. The certificate will be issued within this week."

Chen Fan nodded. "Good, well done."

"It's all thanks to you, Boss. If it weren't for you, it would still be stuck at the Software Association," Qiao Linlin said, feeling a bit ashamed. This matter was only accomplished because Chen Fan used his connections with the university leadership; she had merely submitted the materials, and her presence didn't really affect the outcome.

In fact, it was because of her that the initial review was blocked by the Software Association in the first place.

"Alright, don't overthink it. You deserve the credit you're getting."

Qiao Linlin looked up at him, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back.

She walked behind him, placing both hands on his shoulders. With a slight pressure from her fingertips, she slowly massaged the tension out of his shoulder muscles.

"Boss, lean back a bit," she said softly, her voice carrying a hint of nasality.

Chen Fan leaned his head back, feeling a soft sensation against the back of his head, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance. It wasn't perfume, but the clean scent of laundry detergent.

He reached out and grabbed her hand on his shoulder, pulling her from behind the chair to his side. With a gentle tug, Qiao Linlin lost her balance and tumbled into his lap.

She let out a soft gasp. Chen Fan looked down at her in his arms and found her eyes were watery and her red lips were enticingly lush.

Chen Fan couldn't help but lower his head, wanting to kiss her.

Just then, Qiao Linlin reached out to block him, a flash of panic in her eyes.

"President Chen, don't do this. I have a boyfriend."

Chen Fan was stunned. Where did she get a boyfriend? He was the one who had taken her first time.

Looking at Qiao Linlin again, she winked at him, the corner of her mouth curling slightly before she quickly suppressed it, returning to that panicked expression.

Chen Fan understood—this girl was actually playing a roleplay game with him. He also became interested, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Little Qiao, you wouldn't want your boyfriend to find out about this, would you?"

Qiao Linlin looked up at him and then quickly lowered her head. Her voice became even smaller, carrying a hint of a sob: "President Chen, you... what do you want?"

"What do you think?" Chen Fan looked at her playfully.

"I... I can... just don't tell my boyfriend." After saying this, Qiao Linlin closed her eyes, looking like she was resigned to her fate.

However, Chen Fan noticed she was trembling—not from fear, but from the kind of shaking that comes from trying to hold back laughter.

Chen Fan lowered his head and captured her red lips.

After an unknown amount of time, he lifted his head. Qiao Linlin's face was flushed, her eyes watery and full of desire; she was clearly aroused. She curled up in Chen Fan's arms, looking like she was ready to be taken.

Chen Fan patted her bottom. "Aren't you getting up? Do you really want me to do something here?"

"Boss, you can do whatever you want," Qiao Linlin's voice was so soft it seemed like it would melt.

"Alright, this is the office. Get up quickly." Although Chen Fan's desire had also been piqued by her, it was impossible to do anything in the office.

The floor-to-ceiling window was right there. Even if the curtains were drawn, it wasn't safe, and he didn't want to be caught on camera.

Hearing Chen Fan say this, Qiao Linlin finally stood up from his lap and tidied her hair and clothes.

"Boss, your acting just now was so realistic. You really were like a perverted boss from a movie."

Chen Fan said irritably, "Are you saying I'm a pervert?"

"Of course not, I'm saying your acting is good."

"Fine, go get busy. I'll go to your place tonight. Don't change out of this outfit."

"Mm-hmm." Qiao Linlin nodded happily.

"Right, from now on, you don't need to knock when entering the office. Just come straight in."

Hearing this, a smile broke across Qiao Linlin's face. "Got it~" With that, she walked out of the office in her high heels.

After Qiao Linlin left, Chen Fan began to get busy at his computer.

What he needed to do now was a simple plan for the archangels sword project.

Calling it a plan was actually just a matter of organizing the core gameplay, system framework, numerical models, and monetization design of the game into a document to hand over to the new lead programmer, Technical Lead, and the technical team for implementation.
