Little Knife Makes an Appearance

  Xishan District of Nanhua City

  The Billion Building is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Xishan Avenue and Nanhua Avenue, facing south, and is the tallest building in the entire Xishan District with a total of 72 floors. This is the headquarters building of the Billion Group, one of the three giants of national real estate and the leader of the Nanhua City real estate industry, which did not disappoint.

  It is now 6:15 pm.

  In the 28th floor of Yikewei Building, the headquarters' brand management department, most colleagues have already gone home, leaving only a few workaholics and those trying to get promoted still buried in their cubicles, mortgaging their lives. The spacious open office looks cold and deserted, some unoccupied areas' lights are turned off, and the slogan on the wall is faintly visible - Insist on sustainable development, build a harmonious society.

  In the farthest corner of the office area, a small office was the editorial department of the group's internal publication "Yi Ke Feng Cai", which was vastly different from the cold and quiet large office outside. At this moment, the editorial department was bustling with activity.

  It's said to be a hot and busy place, but in fact it's just an exaggeration, because the entire editorial department only has three people. These three people are:

  Chief Editor Niu Yaizu, alias Niu Bian (Editor), male, 49 years old, married, characteristics are bald head, buck teeth, hobbies are heavy drinking and smoking, flirting with female colleagues.

  Editor Lu Dandan, female, 24 years old, but firmly believes she is forever 18, single, lively personality, sweet appearance, height 158cm, measurements confidential. Hobby is flirting, and doesn't discriminate against objects, even if it's a scumbag like Niu Bian. Dream is to find a boyfriend who is as handsome and rich as a Korean drama male lead, but hasn't found one yet, currently the object of desire for countless wolves in the group headquarters.

  Editor Yi Xiaodao, nicknamed "Little Knife", is a 25-year-old unmarried male who graduated from the Chinese Department. He stands at 1.75 meters tall and has an ordinary appearance, the kind you'd easily find on the streets. He doesn't have any hobbies or dreams, and has been working as an editor at Yikou Group for two years without achieving anything worth boasting about, but manages to get by. He dislikes talking and hasn't exchanged a word with many of his female colleagues in the Brand Management Department, which is quite a remarkable feat.

  It's hard for outsiders to imagine that a full-color magazine of over 100 pages in B5 format, is actually produced by just three people, and published every half month. Now, the magazine will be printed next week, tomorrow is the weekend, so today we must finalize it no matter what.

  At this time, Yi Xiaodao was attached to his own desk for the final proofreading, his desk was under the window, and Lu Dandan's desk was facing each other, while Niu Bian's large office desk was at the entrance. He had tried to swap seats with Yi Xiaodao in order to communicate closely with Lu Dandan, but once the general manager came to inspect, he scolded him, saying that the editor-in-chief must have the appearance of an editor-in-chief and sit at the door to oversee everything.

  Fortunately, the office is not big, even sitting by the door does not affect his communication with Lu Dandan. At this time, taking advantage of Yi Xiaodao's proofreading, Lu Dandan had nothing to do, and he began to communicate with Lu Dandan again.

  "This summer has arrived early, you see, it's only April now and the weather is already so hot. This morning when I came to work, I saw that all the girls on the street were wearing super short skirts. Ah, Dandan, with your figure, you must look great in a super short skirt." Niu Bian said while his eyes scanned up and down Lu Dandan's chest.

  "Huh? Really? But I rarely wear miniskirts, because I prefer wearing jeans." Lu Dandan's sweet voice came over, making Niu Bian feel extremely pleased. Having such a little sweetheart to go to work with every day, what more could he ask for?

  "You're wrong, Dandan. Jeans can't show off your figure at all. Your legs are so straight and white, it's the kind of legs that many girls dream of having! Only wearing a super short skirt can showcase the charm of your legs. Wearing jeans is simply a waste!" Niu Bian said, his eyes scanning back and forth under Lu Dandan's desk, searching for her legs.

  Ludan Dan indeed pushed a table, the chair slid out, and her legs were exposed in front of Niu Bian. Although she was wearing jeans, it was clear that her thighs were very straight, but very white, which was exactly what Niu Bian had been fantasizing about. Moreover, although she was sitting down, the tight jeans wrapped around her buttocks, making them bulge out, and Niu Bian couldn't help but swallow his saliva, thinking to himself that if he could persuade Xiaotiantian to wear a super short skirt, wouldn't it be a visual feast every day?

  "Is it really that good? Then I'll have to try a super short skirt. But, I'm worried my legs are too thin, afraid it won't look good." Lu Dandan continued to play along. She wasn't unaware that Niu Bian was having lustful thoughts about her, but Niu Bian's few sentences of praise for her figure had made her feel lightheaded, so she kept going along with his words.

  "Really? Let me take a look. I've done some research on legs, and some are suitable for wearing super short skirts, while others aren't as suitable... it depends on the specific situation..." The cow whip gains an inch, advances a foot.

  "Really? Chief Editor, you're so formidable, you really know everything!" Lu Dandan was indeed deceived, and with both hands grasping the small jeans, she pulled upwards with force. A section of white and tender little leg appeared before her eyes.

  For everything that is happening in front of him, Yi Xiaodao sits calmly like a wise monk, still focusing on proofreading his manuscript. When Lu Dandan first arrived, she also caused harm to Yi Xiaodao, which was that every time she spoke, Yi Xiaodao would get goosebumps all over his body. It wasn't that he didn't like beautiful women, but rather he couldn't stand a 24-year-old woman speaking like an 18-year-old girl, and with a Taiwanese accent to boot.

  However, he gradually became immune to this kind of corny killing, and was deaf to the flirting and quarreling between the two. Niubian and Luddan also simply treated him as air.

  Niú biān kuáng tūn kǒu shuǐ, kàn zhe lù dān dān de niú zǎi kù yī zhí lā dào xiǎo tuǐ duò, jī qíng péng pài, chà diǎn tuō kǒu hǎn chū "tuō! tuō! tuō!"

  At his age, he's probably already somewhat impotent in married life, and unfulfilled desires can only be completed with the help of imagination. His eyes are watery, the corners of his mouth are also watery, and saliva almost drips down.

  Just as Niu Bian was about to pounce on Lu Dandan, Yi Xiaodao suddenly threw down his brush and let out a long sigh: "The great task is complete!"

  Niu Bian was indulging in fantasies about Lu Dandan's legs when he was startled by Yi Xiao Dao. He glared at Yi Xiao Dao, only to see him push his buttocks out, slide out from under the office desk with his chair, close his eyes, clench his fists in a surrendering gesture, lean his upper body 15 degrees to the left and maintain this posture, slowly stand up, then stretch his arms out at a 90-degree angle.

  Those who know him understand he is stretching, while those who don't think he's having convulsions all over.

  "So soon you've finished?" Niu Bian asked discontentedly. He saw that Yi Xiaodao had already turned to face the window, still maintaining his previous posture, looking just like Jesus nailed to the cross.

  "Alright——” Yi Xiaodao responded without turning his head, finally stretching out his waist and putting down his arms, starting to swing his stiff neck joints. At this time, looking out from the 28th floor window, the city's night had already begun. The lights of the office buildings slowly went out, while the streetlights and storefront signs gradually lit up, a colorful array that stretched all the way into the invisible distance.

  "You can go first, I'll leave the draft there, and I'll discuss the details with Lu Dandan again." Niu Bian said, taking a glance at Lu Dandan who was admiring her own legs, his saliva almost dripping again.

  "Alright, I'll leave first." Yi Xiaodao replied readily, starting to shut down and pack up his desk. He couldn't be bothered with what Niu Bian was thinking in his heart, anyway he and Lu Dandan had no other relationship apart from being subordinates of Niu Bian.
