 Forced to Stay by the Big Shot’s Side


"Yes, President Qin. The Tang family matriarch is already waiting downstairs. Will you see her?"

Zhiyan couldn't quite discern Old Lady Tang's intentions, 

but his instincts told him it was related to Tang Keyi.

"Escort her to the reception room."






"President Qin, I hope my sudden visit isn't an inconvenience?" 

Old Lady Tang smiled warmly, her eyes brimming with approval as she studied Zhiyan.

"You're too kind, Madam Tang. Please, just call me by my name." 

Before the elder, Zhiyan maintained the humility befitting a junior.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. Zhiyan, your grandmother and I were like sisters. It's a pity she passed so early—otherwise, our families might have been much closer."

"Mn." 

Zhiyan responded neutrally. 

He recognized her overtures but refrained from engaging further until her motives were clear.

A habit honed in the business world.

Always keep the upper hand.

Old Lady Tang noted his deliberate reserve and mused inwardly, 

This young man is as guarded as a vault. 

No wonder he's dominated the business scene these past years.

"Zhiyan, you've only recently returned to the country. Have you had the chance to meet our Keyi?" 

she probed.

So it is about Tang Keyi. 

Was this the young master's doing?

"We met at Chairman Han's birthday banquet. Coincidentally, we crossed paths again last night at a club."

She scrutinized his expression. 

Eyes couldn't lie. 

It seemed Zhiyan hadn't developed any particular feelings for her grandson yet.

"Our Keyi has been spoiled rotten since childhood. I hope he hasn't caused you any trouble?"

"No trouble at all." 

Just some entertainment.

"Good, good. If he ever steps out of line, feel free to discipline him on our behalf."

Zhiyan detected the subtext. 

"Madam Tang, please speak plainly."

"Here's the thing. Keyi is twenty-five now and has never held a proper job. It's not that the Tang family can't provide a position, but we've indulged him for so long that we'd likely go soft on him. Other companies would probably coddle him too. After much consideration, I realized you're the only one in the capital who could truly temper him."

Zhiyan was taken aback. 

"You wish for Young Master Tang to work under me?"

"Precisely. What do you think?"

Zhiyan pondered. 

She wasn't wrong—in all the capital, 

he might be the only one capable of polishing this unruly gem.

Moreover, with the overseas market expansion complete and business thriving, 

he'd found himself with more leisure time than in previous years.

Having Tang Keyi under his direct supervision sounded... amusing.

"Since you've asked, it would be ungracious to refuse. Though I worry you might regret it if he suffers any hardships under my watch."

Old Lady Tang nearly clapped in delight at his easy agreement. 

"That child needs to be taken down a peg or two. It's settled, then? What position did you have in mind for him?"

Mid-conversation, she produced a resume from her bag and handed it to Zhiyan.

A glance revealed the barest essentials—name, birthdate, alma mater—even blood type and zodiac sign filled out, likely because the page would've looked barren otherwise.

Zhiyan set it aside. 

"I've been in need of an assistant since returning. Would this suit?"

"Perfectly!" 

Her eyes crinkled with joy. 

An assistant! Plenty of opportunities for close contact! 

"I'll have him report tomorrow sharp. I leave him in your hands."

Inwardly, Zhiyan smirked. 

The young master will likely throw a tantrum when he hears.



Tantrum was an understatement.

"Grandma, I won't go!" 

Keyi planted his hands on his hips, lips pursed in defiance.

"I'm creating opportunities for you! Don't be shy—Grandma believes in you!"

Keyi hadn't anticipated this maneuver. 

"But I've never worked a day in my life! It'll be exhausting!"

And I especially don't want to see Qin Zhiyan.

"For your future happiness, some sacrifice is necessary." 

Sensing his resistance, she played her trump card. 

"If you refuse, I'll assume you've given up on Qin Zhiyan. In that case, I'll arrange three blind dates daily—morning, noon, and night. How does that sound?"

Keyi capitulated instantly. 

"Say no more. I'll go!"

"Report at nine tomorrow sharp. First day—no tardiness."





"Tsk tsk. I never imagined Grandma Tang would go this far."

"You're not the only one shocked. Even I, her own grandson, am stunned!"

Lying sprawled on his plush bed, Keyi complained to Han Qiuqiu over the phone.

"Weren't you terrified of even seeing Qin Zhiyan before? Now you're bold enough to be his assistant?"

"After interacting with him, I realized he might look intimidating, but he doesn't seem to mean me harm. If he wanted to retaliate, he would've by now." 

Keyi's tone grew smug. 

"My real concern is—with my stunning looks, what if he falls for me after seeing me every day?"

Qiuqiu's eye twitched. 

"You're seriously overestimating yourself."

"It's a legitimate worry!"

"Rest assured. According to Qin Yulin, Zhiyan's practically celibate—never so much as held hands with anyone, male or female. In that regard, you two are alike."

"Excellent! Fellow members of the noble singles' club." 

Keyi relaxed.

"Don't you have to wake up early for work tomorrow? Instead of delusions, maybe sleep?"

"My presence alone is favor enough. Expecting me to wake early? Dream on!"




"Sir, who are you here to see?" 

The receptionist blushed at the sight of the exquisitely dressed, 

breathtakingly handsome young man before her.

Keyi offered a charming smile. 

"I'm reporting for duty."

She blinked, slow to process. 

This gorgeously attired young master—a new colleague?

"Which department?"

"Department? Not sure. I'm told I'll be President Qin's assistant."

"One moment—I'll contact the executive office immediately."

Soon, Cong Qiao arrived.

"Young Master Tang, I'm Cong Qiao, President Qin's assistant. Please follow me."

Keyi trailed him into the elevator, arriving at the doors of the CEO's office suite.

"President Qin is in a meeting. I'll introduce you later."

"Where's my office?" 

Keyi glanced around.

"Apologies, Young Master Tang. Assistants don't have private offices." 

Cong Qiao gestured to the desk outside the CEO's door. 

"This is your workstation. Your ID badge and manual are already prepared."

Chapter 1 The big fierce A turns into a vicious soft O

By -
"Ahhh!" "Where's my big dragon!" "Why did it become a little dragon?!" Following a sharp explosion, Nian Jinsui stared in disbelief.  He checked his body repeatedly with his eyes, and finally raised his head like a bolt out of the blue, and his eyes fell on the mirror in front of him. The boy in the mirror had fluffy chestnut curly hair, his skin was as smooth and shiny as white jade, and his cheeks were stained with a faint blush, as if covered with a light crimson haze. His facial features are particularly exquisite, and he looks like God's favorite at first glance.  His eyes were very bright and moist, and they were slightly widened at this time, full of surprise.  Even the pink lips were slightly open, and it seemed that he had been greatly shocked. One look at this appearance, and you can tell that he is a noble, pampered kid from a rich family. Nian Jinsui looked at the face in front of him...

Chapter 2 I am not an Omega, I want to commit suicide!

By -
“Mr. Nian, Mr. Qin asked me to bring my family’s second young master here. I’ll leave him in your care.” A middle-aged man in a loose suit stood respectfully outside the Nian family villa, speaking to Nian Yixin. “Of course, Mr. Qin has already informed me.”  Nian Yixin replied with a polite smile, though his expression carried a natural air of measured distance. He was the head of the Nian family and, notably, an Omega. Nian Yixin’s gaze landed on the young man beside the driver.  The youth stood straight, his frame lean like a proud green bamboo.  His features were sharp and handsome, his eyes deep and dark, as though concealing icy cracks beneath a cold river, exuding an air of coldness and eeriness. At the corner of his right eye, there was a small mole, adding a faint trace of aloofness to his expression. His indifferent demeanor and taciturn nature made him less than charming as a guest. “So this is Chengyu? You’ll be living with us from now on. Feel free to...

Chapter 51 Attending the Celebration Banquet in Style

By -
"Son, I know you’re upset right now, but for the sake of the bigger picture, you need to endure this for now"   Qin Mu yun advised.  "Nian Jinsui is the type who thrives on making a fuss. If this incident gets blown up and reaches your grandfather’s ears, it’ll be hard to handle." Compared to Qin Cheng luo, Qin Mu yun was slightly more level-headed.  Although she was angry, she hadn’t lost her rationality.  With Qin Zhuo currently evaluating Qin Cheng luo, they couldn’t afford to take any risks. Qin Cheng luo, though unwilling, understood the gravity of the situation.   "Don’t worry, Mom. Once I become the head of Qin Corporation, handling Qin Chengyu will be a piece of cake. I’ll make sure Nian Jinsui kneels before me, begging for my mark!" "Someone that even Chu Heting doesn’t want—what’s so special about him? If it weren’t for the fact that he’s the only son of the Nian family, who could tolerate his ...

Chapter 3 Come on, just let him kiss you.

By -
Nian Jinsui was having a beautiful dream.  In his dream, he had returned to his original body and even met his dream Omega. The little Omega’s face wasn’t clear; he could only see those soft-looking lips approaching him, with a faint, sweet fragrance. So proactive—how could he wait any longer? Nian Jinsui widened his eyes, trying to see the Omega’s face clearly.  He puckered his lips in anticipation of those tender, delicate lips. As his vision sharpened, however... The person before him had cold, indifferent eyes, even showing a trace of reluctance and resistance. Even the mole at the corner of his eye seemed to emit disdain.  Yet, those lips were exceptionally beautiful—plump and defined, looking so tempting to bite. Come on, come on, just give him a kiss… Just as Qin Chengyu’s lips were about to touch Nian Jinsui’s, their eyes met.  Qin Chengyu saw Nian Jinsui’s intoxicated gaze, coupled with the subtle movements of his lips. Qin Chengyu quickly lowered his eyes, ...

Chapter 5 What do you call a person who can’t smell?

By -
Nian Jinsui couldn't help but think of Qin Chengyu's life experience. The current leader of the Qin family, Qin Zhuo, is nearly seventy years old. He is still energetic and quick-thinking, and holds all the power of the Qin family firmly in his hands. Qin Zhuo is a top Alpha with high IQ and strong ability. Under his hands, the Qin family has developed into one of the three major families in the imperial capital. At the same time, he is also a proud and arrogant person. He hopes that his high-quality Alpha genes can continue to carry forward the Qin family. It's a pity that he only has two Omega daughters, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu. Qin Zhuo could only recruit two Alpha sons-in-law, and put his hope in his grandchildren. Later, Qin Muyun and Qin Muyu gave birth to sons one year apart. It's just that Qin Muyu was not in good health originally, and became even more weak after giving birth to a child, and died a few years later. Her husband was distraught, depressed all day ...
