Li Yan, a secretary who has spent considerable time with Qin Hai, harbors deep fears that one day Qin Hai might develop feelings for her.

"Li Yan is my secretary. She manages a substantial amount of the company's data and is well-versed in our affairs.
During these challenging times, replacing her would cause considerable disruption. Are you aware of the trouble this would entail?"
