Late is Not Late

Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...

Chapter 25 I'm Tired of Acting

Ji Wan acted aggrieved at the right time, and Zhou Zechuan raised his hand and touched her head, pretending to be doting.

"Wanwan, I know you've been wronged, but I'm doing this for our own good. You know, if the people in the company find out, it'll be hard for me and it won't be good for your reputation either. Otherwise, they'll inevitably think we're just relatives, and we won't have any say in the company."

"I know you've thought this through, and I understand you."

The two of them were sweet and affectionate for a while, and then Ji Wan symbolically walked out of the office with a document report.

All eyes outside the office were focused on her.

As her figure disappeared, everyone's gaze returned.

"How long do you think Miss Ji can last in the company this time?"

"Who knows, maybe he can't even use a printer or a computer."

Everyone was talking behind him, but Ji Wan acted as if he didn't hear anything. He sat at his workstation and processed the report as usual.

A statistics application form given by Zhou Zechuan. It was an ordinary job that anyone with some basic computer skills could do. It didn't seem difficult at all.

It certainly doesn't seem like a general manager's job.

"They're pretending pretty well." Someone muttered.

"Sister Ji Wan, can you take a look at this report and see if there is anything wrong with it?" A colleague came up and pointed at the data in the table. The report information he was referring to was the report on the participants of the pension project in the afternoon.

Zhou Zechuan attached great importance to this project, so it became a hot commodity in the company. Many people wanted to join, but they gave up because this department was too weird.

If you can't join, then ask around. I'm not looking for Ji Wanlai just to get some information.

Ji Wan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a seemingly innocent smile on his lips, "Oh, my memory is so bad that I can't tell east from west and south from north. You are really my savior! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have made a big fool of myself."

She took the report back, her movements revealing a hint of clumsiness.

"Sister Ji Wan, you're too kind. I've just joined the company, and I see you're new to the workplace too. My name is Xiao Sun, so come find me if you need anything."

Ji Wan smiled inwardly, but maintained a perfectly balanced look of confusion and gratitude on his face. "Thank you so much! I still have a lot to learn from you!"

She patted Xiao Sun's shoulder, and a faint fragrance filled his nose. She was kind and friendly without being pretentious, which made people feel quite favorable.

Xiao Sun touched his nose and glanced at his colleagues on the other side. Their curious eyes were even a little stupid as they looked at him with gossip.

He shook his head slightly, smiled at Ji Wan, and went about his business.

After two days of work, Ji Wan seemed to have become the most inconspicuous person in the company, deliberately reducing his presence. Occasionally, he would pretend to be lost, ask colleagues about small details of the project progress, or express confusion about certain data.

Someone even threatened her to print some documents, and Ji Wan did as she was told, seemingly without any airs of being the eldest daughter of the Ji family.

Only occasionally when he was working on the computer, his expression was slightly tense, and he seemed to have a strong aura.

But two days have passed and there is still no one in the new department.

After pouring the water in the tea room, Ji Wan took a sip and his eyes would inadvertently sweep across the office area. He seemed nonchalant, but in fact, his eyes were like a radar, capturing any potentially useful information.

I've been a little tired from acting at the company these days, but I've gained a lot of information.

The land bidding will begin in a month. The competition for the piece of land that Zhou Zechuan values is fierce, and it will not be easy to get it.

Zhou Zechuan's project is still moving forward. If he can't recruit people here, he plans to send his people over here.

Want to further erode the Ji family?

No way, she wouldn't allow it.

After entering the bathroom, Ji Wan sent a message to Chi Wenyan, indicating that it was time to take action.

The message was replied almost instantly, and Ji Wan couldn't help but be stunned.

"Okay, it's been a while, would you like to have a drink tonight?"

"No, I want to be a hard-working worker."

After saying that, Ji Wan also sent a little bee emoticon.

Chi Wenyan curled his lips and smiled, his deep eyes were filled with a hint of smile.

"Brother, what are you so happy about?"

"Nothing much, it's quite interesting to see a hardworking little bee."

Fenghao raised his head from the curry rice, frowned and muttered to himself when he heard this.

Second brother never uses such corny adjectives. What happened these past two days?

Or we should find a fortune teller to take a look at my second brother, to make sure he is not possessed by some kind of evil spirit.

"What's wrong?" Chi Wenyan looked at Feng Hao suspiciously and said softly.

"No, nothing." Feng Hao was afraid that his little thoughts would be exposed, so he just lowered his head and continued to eat. Then he heard his good second brother's tone suddenly become low.

"It's time to fill it up. Find some reliable and skilled people, not some useless ones."

"Don't worry, second brother, you can trust me to do the job."

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office onto Ji Wan's exquisite desk.

Although he is still a commander without troops, he looks like a soldier when he sits there.

It was as if the empty department had thousands of troops.

Everyone had to be impressed by her mentality.

Following a knock on the door, Ji Wan looked up and smiled professionally yet cordially, "Come in."

As the door opened, a group of new faces came in and the receptionist led them in.

Although he tried his best to keep a straight face, he still couldn't hide his surprise.

Who would have thought that so many people would report today, and they were all heading for the new department.

Ji Wan stood up and asked doubtfully, "What is this?"

"Sister Ji, these are the new people from your department."

Ji Wan was surprised, but soon smiled and looked around. A clear voice echoed around, "Welcome everyone to join our big family! I'm Ji Wan, your department head."

"Don't be nervous, everyone. Our department is relaxed and there's nothing much to do. Everyone, go to your workstations and familiarize yourself with the environment. I'll email you tasks later."

The newcomers were a little nervous, but Ji Wan was humble and quickly put them at ease.

Ji Wan looked at the tense faces and thought that Chi Wenyan was very thoughtful and his acting skills were not bad at helping others.

However, since the show has been brought up, she has to continue.

He immediately cleared his throat and said, "I know there are always a lot of things that can be difficult to adjust to on your first day." He paused and continued gently, "So, to celebrate the new members of our team, I'll buy everyone some milk tea as a gift, and we'll have a team-building dinner tonight. I'll pay for it!"

Everyone cheered, and the receptionist looked envious, wondering if she could have such a good manager.

There was a lot of noise here, and people were whispering over there.

"What's going on over there? Why are you shouting so loudly?"

"Manager Ji ordered milk tea for the newlyweds and also treated them to hot pot in the evening. She reimbursed all the expenses."

When everyone heard this, their expressions twisted instantly, and most of them were envious.

When they join the company, they get nothing but promises made in their dreams.

Where can I find milk tea hotpot?

"You are so generous, worthy of being the eldest lady."
