At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

"Ugh——"

A shrill whistle jolted Gu Yu awake from his bed, and the first thing he did was clutch his clothes and make three strides to the doorway in one go.

By the time he reached the door, he had only managed to slip on a coat, and it was inside out.

As soon as he opened the door, Lin Xinyue stood there grinning, whistle in hand.

"You're much faster today than yesterday!"

She blinked playfully and said teasingly.

Gu Yu sighed in resignation, as this was the third time. He grabbed his clothes and was ready to head back to bed to continue sleeping.

But Lin Xinyue caught his arm in a grip.

"It's already 7:30, no more sleeping! You need to have breakfast!"

Lin Xinyue stood with her hands on her hips, like a stubborn princess blocking his way back to the warm covers.

Gu Yu scratched his head, which was as messy as a bird's nest, and said dejectedly,

"But today is Saturday. The office is closed, right? Little princess, please let me sleep for one more hour!"

"No way! No more sleep allowed! Today you have to accompany me to see Mr. Liu and Mrs. Bai!"

Lin Xinyue crossed her arms and denied his request.

She knew once she let Gu Yu crawl back into bed, he would definitely not get up until noon!

She had him all figured out.

"Oh right! It's been a long time since we visited them!"

Reminded by Lin Xinyue, Gu Yu slapped his forehead, realizing he had almost forgotten.

Yesterday he casually mentioned wanting to eat ramen, and Lin Xinyue suggested they visit Mr. Liu's noodle shop on Saturday.

He was busy at the time and didn't really pay attention.

Now that Lin Xinyue mentioned it, he remembered.

"Hurry up and get dressed!"

Lin Xinyue smirked as she glanced at Gu Yu's abs and then deliberately closed the door.

She used to be a bit more reserved, but after watching the fireworks with Gu Yu that night, she just let go.

Now she couldn't wait to touch Gu Yu's abs!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Watching her flirty look disappear at the door, Gu Yu's face was full of resignation.

How had such an innocent girl suddenly become so flirty!

He really wanted to post a meme: Darn flirty!

Hurriedly getting dressed, he opened the door again, and the sweet aroma of mochi drifted in from the living room.

Following the fragrance, it turned out that this morning Lin Xinyue and the girls hadn't made breakfast, but Boss Pu and the others had gone out to buy some to eat together.

"Hurry up and brush your teeth!"

Gu Yu was about to sneak a mochi bun, but Lin Xinyue caught him red-handed.

With no other choice, he complied.

Just as he got to the bathroom and hadn't even picked up his toothbrush yet, the system's notification suddenly chimed in his head.

"Attention! Employee Kang Jia has arrived at the office, violating the company's no-overtime rule!"

"Today's Check-in Points reward: -10"

Gu Yu's hand on the faucet paused, and without saying a word, he immediately took out his phone from his pocket.

He opened his contacts, found the number labeled as King of Competition, and dialed without hesitation.

Three seconds later, the call connected.

"Hello, Yu! Good morning. What's up, calling so early?"

Kang Jia's voice, laced with a hint of guilt, sounded on the phone.

Gu Yu yelled, "Old Kang—where are you right now?"

"..."

The line went silent.

After a few seconds, Kang Jia stuttered, "Yu, I'm in my dorm..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu knew the kid was lying and immediately got angry!

"Dorm—? Are you sure you're not at the office?"

Gu Yu's voice was as shrill as a gossip who had stepped on a tack.

"Uh... uh... Yu, how did you know?"

When Kang Jia heard this, he realized his secret overtime had been discovered!

He looked around the office walls, and there were no cameras in sight!

This was really strange.

How come every time he just arrived at the company, Gu Yu would discover him? Could it be that someone was monitoring him?

It shouldn't be!

"You sneaked in to work overtime again, didn't you? How many times has it been?"

Gu Yu said while brushing his teeth.

"Yu, listen to me..."

"Listen to what? Is there a plan you haven't finished? A module to test? Or is the internet in your dorm bad, and you just came to use the company's?"

On the phone, Gu Yu rattled off all the excuses he had prepared without giving him a chance to speak.

"..."

Kang Jia was speechless.

All he wanted was to work a little overtime. Why was it so difficult?

"Yu, this time I really just came to use the internet, I didn't plan to work overtime." He could only insist on using the excuse he had used before.

But Gu Yu simply wouldn't listen to him.

"I order you, right now, pack up and go home! You are not allowed to step into the company this weekend!"

Gu Yu's serious tone came through the phone.

Kang Jia was stunned, and under the circumstances, he had no choice but to put his laptop back in its bag.

Then he sheepishly ran out of Ideal Paradise.

[Employee Kang Jia has left the company! Check-in Points reward will be normally distributed!]

Hearing the system's prompt again, Gu Yu finally calmed down.

Today, he would finally get all the Check-in Points rewards.

There were fifty points!

Usually, Kang Jia, the King of Competition, would work overtime every day and even stay late into the night, and Gu Yu never got the Check-in Points reward from him.

Losing ten points a day, that's seventy points a week!

This made Gu Yu, who valued Check-in Points as much as gold, very reluctant!

It was hard enough that it was the weekend, and just yesterday it was announced there would be no overtime on weekends, but Kang Jia sneaked in to work anyway.

Was this tolerable? This was not tolerable!

Fuming, Gu Yu finished brushing his teeth and wiped his face before walking out of the bathroom.

He saw everyone in the living room looking at him with strange expressions.

"Er... why are you all staring at me?"

Gu Yu asked, puzzled.

"How did you know Kang Jia went to the company to work overtime?" Yu Shutong took a bite of a crab bun and looked at him curiously.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu realized they had just overheard him calling Kang Jia.

He sighed feigning helplessness: "Alas, this guy is just the King of Competition. I suddenly had a premonition that he had gone to the office to work overtime, so I called him!"

"And guess what! The guy was actually at the company!"

"We are a company that staunchly opposes 996! Such behavior is absolutely intolerable!"

"So I called and kicked him out of the company."

Gu Yu stated righteously, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Indeed, that was something Kang Jia, the King of Competition, would do.

Yu Shutong once thought he was competitive enough, waking up after only six hours of sleep to study programming every day.

But Kang Jia was even more extreme!

He only slept four hours a night!

Before sleeping, he would be coding, and the first thing he did upon waking was turn on the computer!

Yu Shutong truly felt inferior.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy was always brimming with energy, he would suspect that he might suddenly die at his desk.

"Laoer, as the manager of the development department, you really need to manage this kind of behavior from Kang Jia!"

"It seriously damages the company's image. If everyone is like him, who would dare to join our company in the future?"

Gu Yu earnestly said to Yu Shutong.

Upon hearing this, Yu Laoer was slightly taken aback. Was voluntarily working overtime really that serious?

But looking at Gu Yu's serious expression, he nodded anyway.
