The cliché story of a domineering president and his secretary

So An Yi trembled and tried to calm down his anger by apologizing twice: "Boss, I acted rashly and thoughtlessly this time. I will be more careful in the future! I promise!" At the same time, he glanced around. It's okay for others, but Xiao Yang should come along. An Yi silently prayed: Xiao Yang, where are you? Come out and say something for me!

"Are you looking for help?"

The boss suddenly spoke, his voice was cold, and An Yi trembled with fear. But, the fact that he was willing to talk to her was the beginning of the iceberg breaking, so she had to be more cautious and humble. "No, no, I was worried that Xiao Yang was also looking for me."

As An Yi was talking, she quietly observed the boss's expression. She caught a glimpse of him staring at her with a silent expression. An Yi even saw herself in the boss's dark pupils. Such affectionate eyes... She suddenly realized, what "affectionate" eyes, bah! What kind of affection! The boss was... so angry at herself that his eyes were straight!

In panic, An Yi subconsciously took two steps back and lowered her head again. Ding Hong could not tell her expression. He thought that this woman would have a little understanding of his feelings, but forget it, don't expect too much from a stupid person. The distance between An Yi and him increased due to her retreat, making the hands he held tightly turn white. Although he was reluctant, Ding Hong finally loosened his grip and let the delicate and soft hands slip away.

Why are you exerting so much strength? Ouch! Both of my hands are sore from being clenched! An Yi wailed in his heart, but he didn't dare to look at it under his boss's nose. Wouldn't that be accusing him of "atrocities"? It would be troublesome if he provoked even greater anger. He quickly put his hands behind his back and slowly rubbed each other resignedly.

Seeing this, Ding Hong no longer had the heart to blame him. He sighed and said helplessly: "You are so curious that you don't even care that you are road blind?"

"It's unfair, boss." An Yi suddenly raised her eyes and couldn't help but defend herself. The aggrieved and innocent look made Ding Hong's heart soften instantly. Unspeakable emotions suddenly appeared in his eyes. He couldn't help but stretch out his arms and just wanted to hold the woman in front of him in his arms. Finally, he regained his senses and didn't dare to alert the enemy, so he raised his hand and after a moment's pause, he turned to touch the hair.

Unable to figure out the meaning of her boss's action, An Yi still slightly turned her body to avoid Ding Hong's overly intimate touch on her hair. At this moment, she was trying her best to organize the words to respond to him.

"I am lost, but it has nothing to do with being directionally blind."

Ding Hong regretted the feeling of the lost hair in his hand, so he locked his eyes with An Yi's bright eyes and asked, "What does that have to do with it?"

"This is a maze, isn't it?" An Yi blinked and lowered his voice to pretend to be mysterious. He leaned forward slightly unconsciously to discern the boss's expression more carefully, trying to see some clues from it.

Ding Hong was distracted by her sudden approach, and secretly complained: You are more alert than anyone else to others approaching you. But when others have feelings for you, you still dare to approach them ignorantly and fearlessly? Then don't blame me.

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it." Ding Hong also imitated An Yi, put his hands behind his back, leaned forward, and asked in a low voice. Because the height difference between the two was almost a head, Ding Hong lowered his head slightly, and smelled the faint fragrance of her hair. He couldn't help but take the opportunity to enjoy this rare benefit.

An Yi was concentrating on waiting for a reply, but suddenly she felt the sunlight above her head was blocked and the light dimmed. She quickly raised her head to check, and saw the boss's clean-shaven jaw and gently rolling Adam's apple... She was so frightened that she jumped two steps away and looked away. In order to cover up her abrupt behavior and difficulty breathing, An Yi was quick-witted. She walked quickly to the screen wall and accused loudly: "I highly suspect it's this! It's making me wander around here and unable to get out." After that, she stretched out a finger and poked the wall a few times, seemingly looking for the mystery, but more like revenge.

This childish behavior made Ding Hong smile and walk over to take a look.

"You mean - there is a secret passage?" Ding Hong asked with an obviously teasing tone, but his eyes revealed a gentleness and doting that did not match that tone. Unfortunately, the woman was as timid as a mouse and did not dare to look back, so she could not see anything.

An Yi looked down on him: Why are you pretending to be confused! How did you find me? Don't tell me it was just luck! But seeing that he looked calm and didn't seem to want to reveal the secret, it didn't matter, just take her out of here! So he quickly lowered his head and acted obediently: "Well, I was just guessing! Boss, let's leave here quickly, don't delay your lunch time!" He still didn't dare to look him in the eye, for fear that his pretended disdain for this man would be seen through.

"But I don't know how to get out." Taking two steps forward, Ding Hong forced the woman in front of him to look at him.

"Oh? Really?" An Yi smiled meaningfully. As the distance between them gradually shortened, and the screen wall blocked their way, she had to look up awkwardly and look at the boss. Seeing that the boss only smiled but didn't answer, An Yi secretly felt dissatisfied: since you don't want to drink the toast, don't blame me... cough cough cough, then she didn't dare to drink the penalty wine for the boss! Although it was not illegal to stay in the thought, she still forced herself to stop this unrealistic idea out of fear.

Too lazy to beat around the bush any more, An Yi chose to get straight to the point: "Boss, you contributed a lot to the design of this place, right?"

You are confused, but you are quite smart! Ding Hong's eyes showed approval, and a very beautiful arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was clearly visible in the bright sunlight. An Yi, who had never been sensitive to his boss's appearance, couldn't help but sigh: This smile is comparable to that of a demon! Unfortunately, I have to wait for a thousand years.

"I found that no matter whether it is the corridor or the windows in the house, the scenery coming out of them seems to be real and fake, real and unreal. Some are ordinary glass, while some may be one-way perspective glass, and there are convex mirrors, and there may be other types that I don't know. My trouble is that although I know it, I can't tell it apart!" An Yi was unwilling: "I guess this design may be your masterpiece." Think about the outrageous and terrifying wall in the president's office. How can the Taoists understand the magical uses of mirrors as well as you do?

Ding Hong neither admitted nor denied it, but continued to ask: "What is the purpose of this design?"

"It confuses the sight, makes it hard to tell the direction, and blocks some places. I walked on that corridor again and again, just like the legendary 'ghost wall'." An Yi continued to search in this small courtyard while analyzing: "The small bridge, pavilion, and another corridor connected to it, plus a small garden, I walked on before, there is no problem between them, I am sure. It was not until I bypassed this screen wall that everything started to become psychedelic."

"Is it really not because of the 'ghost'?" Ding Hong suddenly poked his head out from behind and whispered in An Yi's ear. Caught off guard, she screamed "Ah" and almost fell to the ground. Ding Hong took the opportunity to hold her shoulders and took advantage of her.

"Boss! Scaring people can kill them!" An Yi was frightened and his face turned pale. He glared at the boss who was complacent, and turned away from the "kind" help of this devil.

Ding Hong did not stop him, and casually spread his hands to show that he did not mean it. He had already taken advantage of others, so he should not push his luck any further. Besides, he was afraid that An Yi, who was already frail, would be frightened.

"How can there be ghosts in broad daylight? I heard my boss mention the formation from Taoist Li, so he reminded me. But I really can't figure it out. There are no bends or forks along the way. Many of my previous experiences in mazes are useless, such as walking by feeling a wall, or turning in the same direction at every fork..."

"You like walking through mazes? Do you want to improve your ability to find your way?"

"Well, it was for this purpose at the beginning. Later, I found that the maze is fair to everyone, and people with strong ability to recognize roads can also get lost in it. Especially after I mastered some skills, I can often beat those who laugh at me for being road blind. It is a good way to gain psychological balance." An Yi smiled slyly.

Ding Hong held back his smile, nodded to show that he accepted the explanation, and made a gesture for him to continue, but his eyes were increasingly fixed on An Yi: How many interesting things are there in your personality? I want to know them all!

"Alas, I walked back and forth between the two doors of this courtyard, and I encountered the same corridor every time. However, just now!" An Yi's eyes sparkled: "I have a bold idea: maybe I should try reverse thinking. Since it is confirmed that there is only one corridor, is this courtyard really the same?" She squinted and looked around: "What if there are two courtyards with exactly the same layout at both ends of the corridor?"

"So what? They are all straight roads, how can they form a closed loop?"

"Use various types of mirrors to create visual errors. But this alone is not enough." An Yi's head began to feel heavy again due to the high-speed brain operation and the hot temperature. He rubbed his temples with his hands and said, "There must be another design, and there must be a secret exit connected to the small garden. As long as we go back to the small garden, we can return to the original path."

Unfortunately, what she waited for was not an answer, but her wrist was pulled up and led to a small bamboo pavilion in the shade.

"Sit down first, or you'll have low blood sugar again."

Sitting on the stone bench, An Yi felt tired. She looked up at her boss standing in front of her. Although the sun was shining against her, she could still see that the boss was worried and was carefully examining her face, while blocking the few rays of sunlight behind him. An Yi felt that this man was usually fierce, but the occasional meticulous care he showed made her cherished and unforgettable.

Ding Hong frowned slightly, leaned over and squinted to observe An Yi's condition. He really didn't want to see her pale and sweaty appearance again, so he asked in a deep voice: "Are you hungry? Or thirsty?"

"Just now, we had tea and snacks at Taoist Li's place. I felt a little dizzy because the weather was a little hot at noon and I was walking around all the time."

"Okay, you rest for a few minutes and I'll take you away from here." Ding Hong nodded. He was so busy teasing her that he forgot that An Yi's physical condition had not yet recovered.

Unexpectedly, An Yi shook his head again and again: "Boss, you haven't revealed the answer yet!"
