Chapter 26: The Difficult Secretary

The new products we developed in collaboration with Akabane Group have received very good feedback and both parties have benefited from them.

Lu Zhouyan is still in Iceland and has not returned, but he has negotiated with the company there and has won another important project.

Xiaochi sent the report over and asked questions while reporting his schedule for the day.

[Not late: ...The above is your schedule for today, Mr. Lu. Do you think there is anything that needs to be adjusted? ]

[Not late: By the way, Mr. Lu, the time for our department’s team building has not been determined yet. What time do you think is suitable? ]

After winning a big project, they usually hold a celebration banquet. The people in their CEO's office are very busy at work and haven't had a team building for a long time. It's time to go out for a meal and relax.

【1: The day after tomorrow. I'll be back tomorrow. 】

【1: Why is it Assistant Chi who reports the schedule? Where is Secretary Sheng?】

【Not late: Secretary Sheng is feeling unwell and has gone to rest, President Lu.】

【1: What’s wrong?】

It was rare for Lu Zhouyan to take the initiative to care about his subordinates. Xiaochi was a little surprised and answered truthfully.

【Not late: Lactic acid accumulates in the abdominal muscles and legs, making movement difficult. 】

Lu Zhouyan: “….”

Lu Zhouyan didn't say anything, and Xiaochi started to work on the department's team building.

【Don't be late: Attention everyone, the celebration banquet will be held the day after tomorrow. 】

【Not late: What do you think about what to eat for the celebration dinner? I have listed some options, please vote. If you have new ideas, please speak up. 】

【Not late: ['Not late' initiated a group vote. ]】

[Employee A: Ah, the team building is finally here! I can treat Mr. Lu to a feast again, hahahaha]

[Employee B: Hey, let me see what choices there are... Japanese food, Korean food, Italian food, Spanish food, French food... BBQ, hot pot...]

【Employee C: I voted for Spanish food. Does anyone want to eat it? Let’s vote together. 】

【Employee D: I want to eat barbecue, everyone come and vote for the barbecue! 】

【Employee A: Huh? No one wants to eat Japanese food? 】

【Employee B: I can’t eat white food or Western food... Hey, no one chooses hot pot. 】

【Employee E: The hot pot is too greasy, it makes me sore. Let's try Spanish food, I wonder what it tastes like.】

......

Although it was working hours, everyone was still having lively discussions in the group.

During their years at Lu, they have become very good at multitasking and doing multiple things at the same time while maintaining efficiency and accuracy.

An hour and a half later, Sheng Baili woke up and saw the group message, his eyes suddenly lit up.

[Wow, it’s a party, that’s great, I can have a good meal for free.] Haicha said.

"What do you mean by free food?" Sheng Baili corrected her words, "As a secretary, I have a heavy responsibility and my tasks are complicated. This is what I deserve."

Koike's message just popped up at this time.

[Don't be late: This morning's schedule report, client reception, and market research meeting have all been completed. You can rest for a while. There are no new tasks for the time being. ]

【Not late: [Document.pptx][Document.docx]】

[Not late: Secretary Sheng, you haven't prepared the speech and PPT for next month's new product launch conference yet. I've made some for you. See if there's anything else you need to polish.]

“…” Haicha was dumbfounded.

[Why is Assistant Chi so nice to you? Has he done everything for you?] Haicha was puzzled.

[No, he must have done it randomly, deliberately making the speech and PPT full of loopholes, and then signed your name to make you take the blame.] Haicha began to think about the feasibility of the conspiracy theory.]

Haicha: [You will be embarrassed at the press conference and lose face for the Lu family. This will make the male protagonist unhappy and think you are an unreliable secretary. He will not like you and will fire you!]

[Assistant Chi, you have such sinister intentions!] Haicha was heartbroken.

Sheng Baili said nothing.

She clicked on the file sent by Xiaochi.

The speech was fluent, concise, and humorous. Xiaochi wrote a long speech, but it was not tedious. After reading it, Sheng Baili was surprised to find that there was not a single typo.

Every punctuation mark is used appropriately.

It's perfect, Assistant Chi.

Sheng Baili opened the PPT again.

The ppt is also very well made, grand and simple, with complete content, not many words, and everything is presented in points, making it easy to understand and very tempting to read on.

Haicha: “…!”

[Hiss——] Haicha took a breath of cool air, [What’s going on? He actually completed it so well? Isn’t he going to take credit for it?]

[Host, you may have some leverage over Assistant Chi, the shark man.] Haicha said.

Sheng Baili: “….”

"Okay, stop guessing." Sheng Baili said, "Don't say bad things about Assistant Chi anymore."

[I love hot pot: Wow! Thank you, Xiaochi, for your hard work. If you need any help, please let me know~]

[I love eating hot pot: [little rabbit jumping.jpg][little rabbit jumping.jpg]]

【Not late: You're welcome. 】

After replying to Xiaochi's message, Sheng Baili went to the group to vote.

There are so many options.

Sheng Baili took a quick look from top to bottom and felt a little confused, but finally threw it to the hot pot.

I didn’t get to eat it in City C at that time, and now I still miss it a little.

After voting, Sheng Baili saw everyone's voting results.

[Spanish cuisine]: 5 votes

[Italian cuisine]: 3 votes

[Barbecue]: 3 votes

[French cuisine]: 2 votes

[Japanese food]: 2 votes

[Hot pot]: 1 vote

Xiaohuoguo won the last place.

No, the ranking has gone up and it has become 2 votes.

Sheng Baili blinked and found that it was Assistant Chi who had just voted for hot pot.

Ten minutes later, Sheng Baili was curious about the result and clicked in to see it.

[Hot pot]: 3 votes.

[“I love hot pot”, “Don’t be late”, “1” have voted. ]

[Oh my, the male lead also threw himself into the hot pot]

What a tacit understanding. Sheng Baili was deeply moved and changed his ID to "I love hot pot".

【“Bai Liya” patted “1” and knelt down and called “Dad”. 】

Sheng Baili: “…”

Stealing my idea?

【“Bai Liya” withdrew a message. 】

Seeing Sheng Baili was about to type and question the boss again, Haicha quickly stopped her.

[Don’t be angry, host. You are a delicate beauty. Don’t ruin your image.] Haicha said.

"Just kick him and you'll know whether my legs are weak or not," said Sheng Baili.

Haicha: “….”

I finally changed the ID name to one that matches my personality, but the host is still the same, not changed at all.

[Bai Liya: Mr. Lu, after seeing your voting results, do you also like to eat hot pot? ]

Sheng Baili deleted the dozens of words he had typed and sent it again.

Lu Zhouyan had said earlier that he also liked to eat hot pot, so they could order hot pot and eat together in the hotel during the two days they were on a business trip in City C.

The male lead is still good.

[1: No.]

【1: My hand slipped and I clicked the wrong button. 】

Sheng Baili: “…”

Sheng Baili: “-.-”

Oh, I'm blind, I saw the wrong person.

-

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Secretary Sheng, who had been idle for the whole morning, was sent to Kuiqian Company to coordinate the work related to the DouLe app.

It is said that the current president of Kuiqian Company is also from the Lu family, named Lu Jiayu.

Although Kui Qian had blocked his account for no reason before and his customer service attitude was perfunctory, Sheng Baili did not have a very good impression of him.

But after all, Lu Jiayu is the male protagonist's cousin, and with the support of the Lu Group, Kuiqian can be regarded as a branch of Lu. Presumably, the management ability and work efficiency should not be too bad.

This job should be easy.

Sheng Baili had an optimistic smile on his face.

——Two hours later, the people from Kui Qian's side were still arguing and passing the buck with them, and even started to belittle them.

Sheng Baili yawned, and the smile line at the corner of his lips disappeared.

"It's obvious that your marketing and traffic generation plan was not well done and not practical at all. There was no problem with our implementation!" said an employee of Kuiqian.

"According to the data, the traffic in August when the plan was implemented increased by ten percentage points year-on-year. The traffic plummeted afterwards. Isn't it because you, Kuiqian, did not listen to user opinions, made random changes to the app, and were led by competitors to give bad reviews?" Their people argued.

Kuiqian employee 2: "We changed the app completely based on the needs of the users. It was because you didn't do a good job in public relations that our competitors took advantage of the situation! Moreover, you didn't keep the original plan you gave us well, and it was leaked. The plan has now been copied by other companies, causing our traffic to drop severely!"

"There is no problem with our people." said the people from Lu Group.

"There are no problems here?" Kwai-Kuan's employees continued, "The plan was stolen but you didn't provide an alternative plan, you have poor emergency response capabilities, you have little naval reserves, and your public relations response is weak... these are all your problems!"

......

There's a noisy buzzing next to my ears.

Are the people in Kwai-Kuan so aggressive?

Sheng Baili yawned sleepily.

I can't bear to listen to it anymore.

Sheng Baili raised the folder and slammed it on the table, then suddenly spoke.

"Have you been eating fish since you were young? That's why you find fault with it." Sheng Baili said, "Please face your mistakes."

"......"

"Ah, yes, yes, it's all our fault, we should reflect on it. There's nothing wrong with you, it's all our fault, okay? Your plan is particularly correct." Kuiqian's employee was stunned for a few seconds, rolled his eyes upwards, and retorted without thinking.

His tone of voice was odd, and one could tell at once that he was being treacherous and insincere.

"If you know your father is right, then just do what I say." Sheng Baili answered the question of Kuiqian employee number three in a cold voice.

Everyone: "......"

Everyone: ""

Good, what a simple and crude answer.

It feels good.

The atmosphere in the conference hall was silent for two seconds.

Kuiqian's people reacted but refused to stop and continued to speak in a sarcastic tone.

"I laughed. Is this the quality of Lu Group employees? With a big family and a big business, they are confident. Haha."

"Is it funny? If it's so funny, kowtow twice to see how filial you are." Sheng Baili said.

Kuiqian's people didn't react for a moment and just stood there in a daze.

Sheng Baili took another look at the work badge hanging around the other person's neck and sneered, "So he's the deputy manager, the person second only to the manager in the DouLe sales department, so amazing."

"But I think you are more like the second in command of the digital and English classes." Sheng Baili said.

Everyone: “……….”

Good, very strong aura.

Secretary Sheng, who had been keeping quiet the whole time, turned out to be the most ruthless character!

Sure enough, those who can work for President Lu are not ordinary people.

All the employees from Lu Corporation looked at Secretary Sheng with a hint of surprise and admiration in their eyes.

The deputy manager's face turned red, and he couldn't think of anything to say in response.

Kwai-Kuan's employees also felt a hint of surprise and astonishment.

After Secretary Sheng arrived, she just yawned with her hands on her face and didn't say anything. They thought she had no opinions or couldn't express them, and was a soft-hearted person who could be manipulated by others.

No one took this silent secretary seriously.

Sheng Baili is beautiful, with delicate and soft eyebrows, sharp inner corners of her eyes, and an overall round eye shape.

Such contradictory features make this secretary look soft, harmless and easy to bully when she lowers her eyes. But when she raises the corners of her eyes, her temperament is completely different, becoming cool and mysterious.

It's impossible to guess what she's thinking.

Kuiqian's employees secretly thought that something was wrong.

They judged people by their appearance and suffered a great loss.

It turns out that Secretary Sheng is the difficult person for the Lu family!
