Cheng Qicai originally thought that given her mother's outrageous remarks, it was impossible for her to ask the female lead to find her a job.

Furthermore, given the current cold war between the male and female leads, it's even less likely that she would be introduced to the male lead's company. Most importantly, she never appears in the novel's plot, indicating that the female lead didn't introduce her to the male lead's company either.

She should just stick to submitting her resume on job recruitment apps.

"You are a mighty and valiant man, lassoing the horse..."

A loud ringtone sounded, and Ms. Yun answered her phone. She and the person on the other end of the line were talking about something, and she was laughing like a flower.

Cheng Qicai looked at her strangely, wondering why she was so happy...

Could the person on the other end be a scammer trying to trick Ms. Yun into buying health products?

Cheng Qicai instantly became alert and pricked up her ears to try and hear their conversation.

"Here, your uncle's phone number." Ms. Yun handed the phone to her.

Huh?! It's the female lead's father.

It seemed she had been overthinking things. She took the phone and called out, "Uncle!"

A moment later, the same smile appeared on her face.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Qicai jumped around like a monkey and happily kissed Ms. Yun twice.

The person on the phone was Yun Suni, who said she had found her a job, but not at Guangfei Group, but at another friend's company.

The job is that friend's secretary, with a salary of 8,000 yuan, five social insurances and one housing fund, and weekends off.

When Cheng Qicai heard that the salary was 8,000, she decided to accept it. She didn't expect the subsequent conditions to be even better, and she was so happy that she felt like she could fly.

It's so great to get things done through connections!

It's so much better than those mediocre jobs I've been looking for; it's fantastic!

I'm sorry, Ms. Yun, my previous criticisms were too loud.

Having arranged to meet Yun Su Ni, Cheng Qi Cai didn't need to say much this time. She simply put on makeup, dressed beautifully, and went to the appointment in her best condition.

Upon arriving at the agreed-upon coffee shop, Cheng Qicai saw Yun Su Ni and another man waiting in the restaurant.

With such a handsome man and a beautiful woman, Cheng Qicai felt too embarrassed to even join in, considering herself such a low-class person.

"Sister!" Cheng Qicai called out, forcing herself to step forward.

“My sister is Cheng Qicai,” Yun Suni introduced her to the man, and then introduced her to her, “This is President Gu. The person I’m introducing to you is his secretary.”

"Mr. Gu, hello!" Cheng Qicai stood up and politely greeted the seated man.

The man's single-eyelid eyes were brimming with water, seemingly full of affection. His lips were upturned with sharp angles, and the lines at the corners of his eyes, though smiling, were somewhat messy.

In short, he has a face that looks like a peach blossom.

Judging from her demeanor and posture, she doesn't seem like a good person. Is it really a good idea to be a secretary with that kind of appearance?

Cheng Qicai was filled with unease and doubt.

"Hello, Qicai, don't be shy. My sister and I are good friends. What would you like to drink?" The man called over the waiter and pushed the drink menu towards her.

She then smiled and said to Yun Suni, "It seems your family has really good genes; all the girls are so beautiful."

Cheng Qicai silently looked at the drink menu and made another judgment about the man: sweet talk.

I randomly chose a flavor and handed it to the waiter.

Although the job was introduced to Cheng Qicai, she and this General Manager Gu didn't exchange more than a few words; it was mostly Yun Su Ni who was talking to him.

However, judging from Mr. Gu's attentive manner, his true intentions are not what they seem; he is clearly interested in the female lead.

Knowing the ending all along, Cheng Qicai sighed inwardly: "Agu, you should just give up. The male and female leads are the official couple, not someone you can steal away."

After the three of them finished their meal, Mr. Gu gave her a phone number and told her to contact the person with that number when she arrived at the company the next day.

He offered to give the female lead a ride home, since he was going the same way as her. He explained that Cheng Qicai lived in another direction, so it wasn't convenient for him to take her. He told her to be careful on her way home.

Cheng Qicai smiled and said goodbye, knowing full well that she was just a tool and a third wheel.

The next day, Cheng Qicai arrived at the company building at the address provided in the notification. She nervously dialed the number that President Gu had given her the day before.

A moment later, a man dressed in a black business uniform and wearing silver-rimmed glasses walked towards her.

The man introduced himself to her, saying his name was Lin Fengjie and that he was President Gu's secretary.

Lin Fengjie led her to a desk, and there was another desk opposite her. He said, "This is your desk, and that one is mine."

Cheng Qicai nodded obediently.

Seeing Cheng Qicai's innocent and naive face, Lin Fengjie breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, it wasn't that arrogant woman who had come.

Could it be that President Gu has changed his taste this time? But this change is too drastic. Lin Fengjie muttered to himself.

"What did you say?" Cheng Qicai heard Lin Fengjie whispering something and thought there was some work to be arranged.

"nothing."

Cheng Qicai worked at Ouji Group for two days, but she didn't have any work to do, and she didn't see President Gu come to work either. Her daily work consisted of playing on her phone from morning to afternoon.

She proactively asked Lin Fengjie, "Is there any kind of work I can do?"

Lin Fengjie quickly shook his head and said, "No, you can just play on your phone."

? ? ?

"Working here is such a good thing?" Cheng Qicai was somewhat incredulous.

Then I felt like I was really pathetic, that being unemployed was bad enough, and that I would only feel comfortable if I had to work 996.

After working for another three days, she became increasingly uneasy. Seeing Lin Fengjie busy across from her, she asked apologetically, "Is there really nothing I can do?"

She received the same answer: just let her play on her phone.

"A lot of documents today? Brother Lin, you haven't had a break all day."
