The short two-week holiday passed quickly, and during this time, Liu Nian only gained three little fans.

Sitting idly in the secretary's office, Liu Nian's phone kept ringing with message notifications.

The other secretaries were all looking at her strangely, but Liu Nian didn't care and just played on her phone.

It's understandable that her other colleagues found it strange, because since Liu Nian started working, her phone has never rung except for work-related messages. They rarely saw Liu Nian with her phone always in her hand since she started working.

"Secretary Liu, are you in a relationship?" a junior secretary asked curiously as she approached her.

Liu Nian saw a voice message from Si Yue and opened it without thinking.

Si Yue: "Sister, we're going to have hot pot tonight, do you want to come?"

The boy's voice was energetic and youthful, and it sounded very pleasant.

"Ah! You're really in a relationship? And it's a younger man!" Another secretary exclaimed in surprise as she stepped forward.

Instead of replying immediately, Liu Nian answered her colleague, "We met at a meal, and she's a few years younger than me, which is nice."

"Oh ho! You don't like older men, but you've got your eye on younger guys instead," a colleague joked.

Liu Nian knew they meant no harm, so she gave them a knowing look.

The two men standing outside the secretary's room overheard their conversation word for word.

Li Yao's eyes were deep and unreadable; his gaze toward Liu Nian was somewhat obscure.

His personal assistant was very good at reading his boss's mood, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door of the secretary's office.

There were five female secretaries inside, including Liu Nian, who all looked over.

A female secretary asked in confusion, "Assistant Xie! Is it...?" Her words trailed off when she saw the man next to Assistant Xie.

Assistant Xie coughed lightly and looked at Liu Nian: "Secretary Liu, there is an event this afternoon that requires you to attend."

Liu Nian nodded, glanced at Li Yao whose complexion wasn't very good, and suspected that he was having his period.

Seeing that she was still sitting in her seat, Assistant Xie spoke again: "The event venue is a bit far from our company, we need to leave now."

Since he had said that, Liu Nian felt it was inappropriate to remain seated any longer, so she picked up her bag and got up.

"Let's go then!"

When three people walk together, trouble is bound to arise.

Because Li Yao looked unwell, Liu Nian didn't speak to him after getting in the car, instead leisurely playing on her phone.

I don't want to encounter bad luck this year.

Do you know what kind of event this is?

She may not speak, but others will.

Li Yao glanced at her and saw her staring at her phone with amusement. His brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

“Assistant Xie didn’t say,” Liu Nian replied without looking up.

Assistant Xie, who was driving: "..."

Assistant Xie: "Secretary Liu, this is an event organized by a university. Our company holds shares in the company, so the university invited the president to attend."

Liu Nian looked at him strangely, then at Li Yao: "Do I need to participate in this event?"

That's a huge waste of talent.

Li Yao remained silent, leaving everything to Assistant Xie to explain.

Assistant Xie: "It's like this, it was originally decided that you didn't need to come along, but our project still needs to discuss follow-up issues with General Manager Yang, so I will handle the negotiations for you, and you will be responsible for attending events with the boss."

"Oh." Liu Nian nodded to indicate that she understood.

Assistant Xie dropped them off at the school gate and then drove away.

Liu Nian looked at the large characters hanging on the school gate and was surprised for a moment!

She hadn't expected the graduation event she was attending to be at B University. So, would she run into Su Ke?

Several school board members had been waiting at the school gate for a long time, and several student representatives were standing upright.

Upon seeing Li Yao, he immediately stepped forward to greet him: "President Li, you've arrived! Come in quickly and have some tea."

After shaking hands with them, Li Yao followed several school board members inside.

Of course, the passage of time will follow.

She followed Li Yao with a professional smile. As they entered the school gate, they were surprised to see several good-looking boys and girls bowing to them.

Out of the corner of her eye, Liu Nian caught a glimpse of several familiar figures. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Su Ke and his group.

She gestured with her lips, and smiled at them when they saw her.

Su Ke and the others hadn't expected to see Liu Nian at this time.

They all knew that Liu Nian had a job, but they didn't know that she would be working at Li's company, and that her position seemed to be quite high.

Zhang Xiangrong said to Su Ke beside him in a low voice, "Damn, that sister is so cool, that smart business suit."

Si Yue noticed it too, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes: "Sister looks so elegant right now."

Su Ke's cool gaze fell on Liu Nian, and their eyes met. Liu Nian gave him a sweet smile, which was exceptionally beautiful. At that moment, a ripple ran through Su Ke's heart, so fast that he couldn't grasp it.

The graduation ceremony organized by the school was held at 3 p.m. All the teachers and students sat in the huge playground. Liu Nian was arranged by the school to sit at the very front, next to Li Yao.

The principal rambled on and on, but Liu Nian found it boring and began to look away.

Li Yao noticed that she was not in the right state of mind but did not say anything. Amid the applause from the school staff and students, he slowly walked to the stage and gave a few minutes of encouraging words without any preparation.

Looking at his indifferent face from beginning to end, and comparing it with the few words he said to encourage the students, Liu Nian felt a strange contrast.

Then she laughed.

Sitting not far from her, Su Ke saw her smiling at the man on the stage and felt a surge of irritation. He didn't know what was wrong with him, why that woman was affecting his emotions!
