Hesitating for 0.1 seconds, Qi Shan opened his arms without hesitation and forcefully pulled the woman into his embrace.

As expected, the woman instinctively resisted, even pounding him repeatedly with her small fists.

"Qi Shan, we're divorced! What do you want? Let me go! Let me go right now, or I'll scream! This is my company, don't go too far!"

Qi Shan looked aggrieved: "Baby, I still love you! Let's get back together! I promise I'll only love you this time! I'll break off all relations with Laura, Alice, and Catherine, and never contact them again."

The woman was already softening, her eyes gradually becoming gentle, but upon hearing Qi Shan's words, she suddenly turned fierce and used all her strength to break free from his embrace.

"What did you say? I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You really are a scumbag, still seeing those bitches! Want to remarry? Dream on!

I'm telling you, Qi Shan, if I ever see you around me again, I'll immediately apply to the court for a restraining order!"

The woman glared at Qi Shan fiercely, and just as the elevator doors opened, she turned to leave.

Suddenly, a large group of people rushed out, several men holding palm-sized cakes. Qi Shan instinctively took a step back, hiding in the corner of the elevator.

Sure enough, the men laughed as they threw the cakes at the woman in unison.

They shouted, "Merry Christmas, my dear!"

Several women rushed forward, screaming and hugging the woman, kissing her repeatedly.

The woman had specially bought a new outfit and applied exquisite makeup for tonight's banquet, but she never expected to be covered in a thick layer of cream before even leaving the elevator.

Already heartbroken by Qi Shan, the woman hadn't even reacted when she was hit by her colleagues' prank. She stood there blankly, chunks of cream falling from her face and body, with several bright red lip prints overlapping on her face.

Her appearance was extremely comical, and Qi Shan couldn't help but curl his lips.

The group came and went in a frenzy, laughing and shouting after the successful prank, cheering in unison, without anyone caring about how the woman felt.

Qi Shan, of course, didn't care about her either. He just glanced at her, chuckled, and left.

Leaving the woman standing there blankly, carefully wiping the cream off, no one knew what she was feeling.

It seemed that the woman wouldn't be able to open her eyes anytime soon.

As the elevator doors closed, Qi Shan returned to the lobby on the first floor.

The group from before was hiding behind a nearby table, with more cakes in their hands, looking like they were preparing for the next prank.

Under normal circumstances, a professional assassin would not enter a crowded elevator, as it was too easy to expose the target.

It would be embarrassing if the gun fell out in the crowd!

Slowly walking to the 9th floor, a girl in a white coat rushed into the stairwell and bumped into Qi Shan.

Qi Shan directly absorbed the force, so there was no reaction force, and the girl was firmly pressed against Qi Shan's chest.

This process was as smooth as flowing water, surprisingly skilled, as if the two had practiced it countless times, reaching a point where they could control it at will.

Qi Shan instinctively reached out and put his arm around the girl's waist. The girl hadn't reacted yet, and was wondering why her vision had suddenly gone dark. After a few seconds, she looked up and saw Qi Shan's enlarged face.

The girl screamed and quickly took two steps back.

The fire door had already closed, and after taking two steps back, she bumped directly into the door panel, and the back of her head hit the raised edge of the window with a thud.

The sound was not small, and the impact was not light. The girl's eyes were obviously red, and she slowly covered her head and squatted down silently.

Qi Shan shook his head, even taking the stairs wasn't peaceful.

"Are you okay?"

The girl hugged her knees and played with them for a while before standing up again. This short period of time also allowed her to recall the events that had just happened in a flash.

"I'm sorry, I was rushing too fast. Did I bump into you?"

Qi Shan waved his hand.

"Really? That's good. By the way, I'm here to attend the Christmas Eve party. Do you know where it is? I've been looking for more than 20 minutes. Why is there no one in the hall?"

The girl stared at Qi Shan with wide eyes. Qi Shan was a little speechless and silently raised his hand to point at the floor sign.

The girl looked back and asked suspiciously, "Tenth floor, is there a problem?"

"The party is on the 11th floor!"

"Ah!" The girl covered her mouth in surprise and clapped her hands repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, it's on the 11th floor. I remembered it wrong! Are you here for the party too? My name is Mella Hawke. My cousin works at this company, and she invited me this time!"

"Qi Shan! Similar to you, but with slight differences in the details."

The two walked upwards side by side.

Mella looked at Qi Shan, and said curiously, "I heard that the party here is private, and outsiders are not allowed to participate. Do you also have friends in this company?"

Qi Shan said: "My ex-wife. I came here this time hoping to remarry. But it looks like there have been some unexpected events!"

Qi Shan was just making up an excuse, but Mella was very perceptive, clapped her hands, and pretended to understand.

"I see, your ex-wife has already fallen in love with someone else, and there's no feelings between you at all. You came here for nothing! But looking at your face, you're only in your early 20s at most. How do you already have an ex-wife?"

Mella's eyes sparkled with gossip.

Qi Shan shrugged and didn't say anything more.

This little girl is obviously good at making things up. The more I say, the more loopholes there will be. Don't turn it into a tragic drama for me, it will affect my image!

The two went up to the 11th floor, Qi Shan opened the fire door, and very gentlemanly let Mella go in first.

The banquet had already begun, and the atmosphere was very lively. Hundreds of people were gathered in the hall, holding food and drinks, gathered in groups of two or three, talking to each other.

This is indeed a large investment company, very rich! They even bought the biggest Christmas tree.

There were dazzling packages hanging on it, and a large pile of gifts piled up under the tree, which looked like they would be distributed to everyone as New Year's gifts after the party.

In the middle of the dance floor, there were several couples dancing slowly, and on the stage, a department manager was giving a year-end summary, constantly flattering the boss in his speech.

And gave a very good expectation for next year's profit situation, and everyone applauded from time to time, the atmosphere was very good.

Mella saw her cousin at a glance, said hello to Qi Shan, and ran over like a little rabbit.

Qi Shan slowly took off his coat, and was just about to get a glass of champagne, when his movements suddenly stopped.
