Legends of Runeterra

My name is Zeli. I thought my promotion was a recognition from my boss. If I wasn’t currently grading documents for my boss, I would have almost believed it!

"Bang~!"

A stack of documents was slammed onto the table with a dull thud.

Li En, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea and admiring the neatly organized neighborhood in the afterglow of the sunset after the planned reconstruction, turned his head when he heard the noise.

"Hey! Not bad, Zeli, you finished reviewing these documents so quickly."

"Is it fast? I spent four hours marking papers!"

Ze Li shrugged slightly. Since joining Hefeng Industries, the food has improved to a very good level.

After getting adequate nutrition, her originally budding figure quickly grew into eye-catching curves.

But troubles also came with it. Zeli would occasionally feel shoulder pain, especially now that she had been reviewing documents at her desk for four hours, the pain became more intense.

"It's hard work, Zeli, is your shoulder uncomfortable?"

"Uh...yes...a little bit..."

"In that case, considering that you've worked so hard all afternoon, do you want me, your boss, to personally massage it for you?"

“Ah!? No… no need…”

"What? You don't believe me?

Don’t think that I am the boss and I can only exploit my employees!”

‘Isn’t it? ’

Although Zeli didn't say anything, her slightly narrowed eyes already expressed her thoughts.

"I can take care of people, too. Orianna and Seraphine, I will give them massages to relax them after they practice dancing."

"Then...then just press it for me."

Zeli turned her head slightly, her fair face slightly flushed.

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Li En walked behind Ze Li and gently placed his slender and strong hands on her shoulders.

"Uh~!"

Zeli let out a low cry and subconsciously shrank her neck.

Li En was not in a hurry to start.

"What's wrong, Zelie?"

"No...it's okay..."

"Then I start?"

"Okay...ok."

The warm and powerful palms gently pressed the shoulders. As the faint warmth was transmitted to the muscles, the original soreness gradually faded away, replaced by a very relaxed and comfortable feeling.

Zeli's nervousness slowly subsided, and the comfortable feeling made her narrow her eyes slightly.

She didn't expect that Li En was really good at massage.

The reason why Zeli agreed to Li En before was that after hearing that he had pressed it for Orianna and Seraphine, an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, and she agreed on impulse.

"How about it, Miss Zeli? Are you satisfied with my massage skills?"

"It's...it's okay."

"Really? Then I'll be more serious!"

As soon as the words fell, golden-red flames rose up and covered Zeli's entire body.

"Woo~~!"

...

Ten minutes later, Zeli leaned back in Li En's boss chair.

"Li En, what did you do?"

Ze Li was ashamed, angry and powerless, and she stared at Li En with wide eyes.

Li En smiled slightly, then his expression became serious.

“During the time I was away, Zeli, you secretly practiced more, right?

Don’t lie, answer me seriously! "

"me..."

Zeli lowered her head guiltily.

"Look at your magic circuits, they are all damaged.

Lightning magic is powerful yet difficult to control.

In order to improve your strength, you extend your practice time and increase the intensity of practice without caring about your own health. You can indeed gain great strength in a short period of time.

But if you keep doing this, the magic power that is built up recklessly will eventually get out of control when you cast lightning magic. "

Li En said this, leaning slightly towards Ze Li.

"Then you will explode like a firework, boom! Into a brilliant spark!"

"Woo~!"

As Li En said the word "bang", Ze Li's body trembled synchronously.

"Boom~!"

"Ouch~!"

"Fortunately, I discovered it early, otherwise you would have turned into a firework!"

"So... am I okay now?"

"Otherwise, what do you think I was doing just now? Your magic circuit has been repaired and strengthened by me. You can use magic with confidence in the future. Nothing will happen."

"Thank you... thank you..."

"Well, can you tell me why you did this? Did someone make you feel uneasy?"

Li En's gentle words made Ze Li's nose sore. She took a deep breath and calmed down.

"No... No, the people in the company are very nice, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that during this period of time, the company has suddenly suffered from endless plots. In Zaun, more than half of the alchemy barons are maliciously harassing us.

And in Piltover, the company's cargo was also subject to the strictest inspection at the port.

I know that I don't have special talents like Zack, nor do I have extraordinary skills like Renata, nor do I have the wisdom and knowledge of Li Wei Ke. The only thing I am good at is my magic.

Boss Li En, the company not only gives those of us who are struggling to make a living in Zaun the right to do so, but also allows us to live decently and with dignity through practical actions.

So I thought if the company really hits a crisis point, then I can contribute a little bit!”

At the end of her speech, Zeli raised her little face and looked at Li En firmly with her gem-like eyes.

"Crack~!"

"Woo~!"

After being hit on the forehead neither lightly nor heavily, Zeli frowned.

"Don't do such stupid things in the future. With me here, Hefeng Industry will not fall."

"I know...I know."

Looking at Zeli's stubborn little face, Li En continued to add.

"I asked you to read so many documents. Zeli, you should be able to roughly understand the strategy of our Hefeng Industry, right?"

"...Um"

"As for those so-called alchemy barons and Piltover nobles, even if we take away one batch, there will always be another batch to replace them.

We do not lack strength, but forced violent conflict will only cause suffering to the people at the bottom.

What’s more crucial is that Hefeng Industry is not yet capable of controlling so many areas. We still need more middle-level personnel.

So we have to move forward slowly and accumulate foundation bit by bit.

This is just a temporary storm. In the future, you will have the opportunity to show yourself. No matter what, protect yourself, okay?"

"Yeah...I...I understand. I won't mess around anymore!"

"Very good, it's getting late, let's go home."

"Yes, bye boss!"

"Goodbye."

...

Zeli walked out of the office and returned to the lounge set up just for her.

"Hoo~!"

"Really? Lee Eun probably didn't notice..."

Leaning against the wardrobe, Ze Li let out a long sigh, then quickly changed her company uniform into personal clothes and hurriedly left the company.
