Daily Intelligence: Forced to Save the Beautiful President at the Beginning

1: Chapter 1 Love is a beam of light that makes people panic.At 5:40 PM, the twilight of Jiangcheng had already soaked the sky. The streetlights along the road lit up ahead of schedule, casting a dim yellow halo on the glass curtain wall of Blue Whale Games.

Zhang Fan had just clicked ”Save.” As soon as the progress bar on the code interface reached the last block, he immediately shut down the computer and pulled out his USB drive, moving so fast it seemed like he was afraid of wasting a single second.

The backpack zipper closed with a ”clatter.” It was mostly empty, containing only a wallet. He hadn’t brought his company-issued laptop today, intent on leaving early.

”Xiao Fan, where are you going in such a hurry?” Wang Chengsi from the same group rolled over in his office chair, nodding toward the director’s office. ”Isn’t Xiao Gu still reporting work to Director Chang? Aren’t you two leaving together today?”

Zhang Fan’s face flushed red, and he hurriedly tugged at his jacket. ”She... she said she’d make dinner for me tonight. I’m going to buy the groceries first.”

This was half-true.

Today was the first anniversary of his relationship with Gu Feifei.

His real plan was to first go queue at that trendy steakhouse in the city center—Gu Feifei had been talking about wanting to eat there since last week, saying it was a must-visit spot for couples.

After dinner, he would take her to buy that platinum necklace she had eyed at the department store. It cost nearly twenty thousand, and he had saved for three whole months.

Actually, Zhang Fan’s salary wasn’t low. After becoming a regular employee six months ago, he earned twelve thousand a month, which was considered mid-range for a programmer in Jiangcheng.

But ever since he met Gu Feifei, his wallet had never been full. If she casually mentioned her phone was lagging, he would transfer twelve thousand the next day for her to get the latest model.

If she posted a picture of her friend’s bag on her Moments, he would grit his teeth and borrow money from friends just to scrape together enough for the limited edition version.

When it came to himself, every meal was a ten-yuan lunch box from downstairs. He had long since abandoned his habit of visiting the local beer, seafood, and barbecue stalls.

But he felt it was worth it.

He was an orphan who had graduated from Jiangcheng University relying on student loans and scholarships, so he always felt a bit of an inferiority complex deep down.

Gu Feifei was the department belle. When she proactively added him on WeChat, he thought he was dreaming.

He was always afraid he wasn’t good enough for her, so he could only try his hardest to treat her well, even if it meant humbling himself into the dust.

However, thinking about the smile Gu Feifei might show when she received the necklace made Zhang Fan’s heart beat a little faster.

In one year of dating, the most intimate contact they had was holding hands.

He secretly hoped that after giving her this grand gift tonight, maybe... maybe she would let him kiss her on the cheek?

”Alright, you two are quite sweet,” Wang Chengsi joked with a smile. ”Then hurry along, don’t keep her waiting.”

”Yeah!” Zhang Fan responded and almost ran out of the office.

As he passed the thirteenth-floor stairwell, the iron fire door wasn’t fully closed, leaving a gap.

A series of sticky panting sounds drifted out through the crack in the door.

Zhang Fan’s footsteps stopped abruptly, as if he were nailed to the spot.

That voice was too familiar. It was Gu Feifei.

But the coquettishness and light moans in that voice carried a wantonness he had never heard before.

”Brother Yuan... hurry up... Zhang Fan will be off work soon... don’t let him find out.”

”So what if he finds out?” another voice rang out, carrying an undisguised, greasy laugh. It was his direct superior, the Director of the Technical Programming Department, Chang Yuan.

”Who in the entire Technology Department doesn’t know he’s just a dog under my command? That last ’star path’ project was clearly all his work, but in the end, it was credited to my name. He didn’t even dare to say a word.”

”Brother Yuan is so amazing...” Gu Feifei’s voice was filled with coy affection. ”Oh... don’t bite my neck. I have a dinner date with him later, don’t let him see anything.”

”So what if he sees?” Chang Yuan chuckled lowly. ”How about this: when you get pregnant, we’ll let him help us raise our son.”
