My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 17 Does she not like me?

Seeing that Zhu Ziqing was unwilling to come and stay regularly, Tan Haoyu said with slight disappointment, "Then let's go soak in the private hot spring pool tonight, it's very comfortable. This hot spring is very good for the body, and you've been working hard lately."

When he said this, his eyes revealed an undeniable air of authority, fully displaying his chauvinistic nature.

Zhu Ziqing quickly declined, "No need, Mr. Tan, I'd rather go to the hot spring with my colleagues."

"Having fun with everyone can also enhance relationships among colleagues."

Tan Haoyu was somewhat displeased after hearing this: "What's so good about being with colleagues? The private hot spring pool here is only for us to use, the environment is better, and it's more private."

Zhu Ziqing's attitude was firm: "I prefer being with my colleagues, it's more lively. Besides, I don't want my colleagues to think I'm being treated differently."

Tan Haoyu was very unhappy that Zhu Ziqing didn't appreciate his efforts, but he didn't want to force her to continue.

An hour later, it was time to meet up.

Zhu Ziqing walked out of the villa area and onto the lawn downstairs.

Seeing that her colleagues were already there, she went over to greet Lin Dan.

When Lin Dan saw Zhu Ziqing, he said enviously, "Ziqing, the place you live must be super luxurious, right? I'm so envious. You're so lucky to live in such a nice place."

Zhu Ziqing said with a disdainful look, "What's there to envy? Living with the boss makes you uncomfortable and it's so troublesome. You have to be careful all the time, and you're not free at all."

Lin Dan's eyes lit up: "Then why don't you stay with me tonight? We can have a good chat."

Zhu Ziqing hesitated for a moment, but still refused: "No, Lin Dan, I'd better stay where I am now, otherwise it won't be right."

Actually, she was worried that Tan Haoyu would be unhappy, since it was his arrangement.

Moreover, she was still somewhat afraid of Tan Haoyu and didn't want to anger him by going against his arrangements.

At the same time, she didn't want to lose her independence and didn't want others to think that she only got a foothold in the company because of her relationship with Tan Haoyu.

At this moment, a colleague from the HR department walked over and said loudly:

Please be quiet, everyone. We have prepared a lot of fun activities.

Now, we'll be divided into groups by department and begin our team-building activities immediately.

I hope everyone will participate actively and have fun!

……

Sunlight shines on the lawn of Jinquan Villa.

The first team-building activity – a musical chairs game – kicked off in a lively and exciting manner.

There were eight chairs on the field, and nine colleagues surrounded them excitedly, eager to try.

"Are you all ready? Once the game starts, walk around the chairs."

When I call "stop," anyone who hasn't grabbed a chair is out.

"Finally, only two people are left to fight for one chair. Whoever gets it first wins!" the host announced loudly into the microphone.

"Ready!" the colleagues responded in unison.

As the music started, my colleagues happily circled around the chair.

In the first round of the competition, everyone had a great time, with laughter echoing throughout.

At this moment, Tan Haoyu, accompanied by Yang Piaoliang, slowly walked over.

His aloof demeanor instantly made him the focus of attention among his colleagues.

The lively atmosphere subsided, and everyone unconsciously became more restrained.

Tan Haoyu slightly raised his hand, signaling everyone to continue the game.

"We owe this project to Zhu Ziqing. Without her, we wouldn't have won the MiYou bid. Zhu Ziqing, you have to participate in this round!" her colleagues shouted.

Zhu Ziqing couldn't refuse, so she smiled and walked into the competition venue.

The second round of the competition began, and the music started again.

Zhu Ziqing and her colleagues nervously moved quickly around the chair.

Her eyes were fixed on the chair, and she took each step carefully. Her heart was pounding faster and faster with the rhythm of the music, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

Knowing how formidable Ma Dongmei was, she dared not relax for a moment, and fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead.

Ma Dongmei was not to be outdone, her eyes revealing a fierce determination.

She stared intently at Zhu Ziqing, as if Zhu Ziqing were her greatest enemy in this competition.

As soon as the host said "Stop," Zhu Ziqing, who had already reserved a chair, was stopped.

However, relying on her physical advantage, Ma Dongmei suddenly pushed Zhu Ziqing aside.

Zhu Ziqing stumbled and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Tan Haoyu frowned, a flash of anger in his eyes, and he was about to explode.

Zhu Ziqing quickly looked up and stopped him with her eyes.

She stood up from the ground and dusted herself off.

Then, magnanimously, he said to Ma Dongmei, "You win."

Ma Dongmei glanced at Zhu Ziqing with an arrogant air, intending to ridicule her.

But when she saw President Tan Haoyu present, her expression changed slightly, and she became more restrained in her behavior.

The next team-building activity was an orange juice drinking contest.

The host, holding the microphone, announced: "Each person will receive a 350ml bottle of orange juice. Men and women will drink it separately using straws. The first to finish wins, and the last group to finish will be subject to a question-and-answer session with the host as a punishment!"

Colleagues signed up one after another.

Zhu Ziqing also participated, but unexpectedly, her opponent was a boy.

The game began, and the boy grabbed the orange juice bottle, stuffed the straw into his mouth, and sipped it greedily, the orange juice rapidly dripping down the bottle.

Zhu Ziqing was not to be outdone. She gripped the bottle tightly and sucked hard through the straw, her cheeks puffing out slightly from the effort.

His colleagues surrounded him, shouting encouragement, their cheers rising and falling as if they were about to overturn the entire lawn.

Some colleagues even joked, "Zhu Ziqing, keep it up! Don't lose to the boys!"

However, the boy was too fast, and despite her efforts, Zhu Ziqing still lost the game.

The host, holding a microphone and with a big smile, walked up to Zhu Ziqing.

Her colleagues gathered around, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

The atmosphere was lively, and the sunlight shone on the crowd, illuminating everyone's excited faces.

Next up is the Q&A session with the host.

The host smiled and looked at Zhu Ziqing, asking, "Zhu Ziqing, you're so beautiful, does anyone in the company have a crush on you?"

The surrounding colleagues started to cheer, some whistling, others shouting, "Of course there is!"

Someone nearby joked, "All the guys in our company are keeping an eye on you!"

Zhu Ziqing blushed slightly and replied, "No."

The host then asked, "Do you have someone you like at work?"

The crowd became even more animated, with everyone speculating and offering their opinions.

Some people were calling out the name of a male colleague, while others were secretly laughing.

Zhu Ziqing hesitated for a moment, then calmly said, "No."

The host's eyes lit up as he continued, "So what kind of person is your ideal partner?"

The colleagues immediately quieted down, all pricking up their ears to hear Zhu Ziqing's answer.

Zhu Ziqing pursed her lips and said, "Hmm... I hope he is someone who respects and understands me, is ambitious, and makes me feel at ease when I'm with him."
