Lock the Door

A pleasingly plump secretary vs. a cold, abstinent boss.

This is a story where the seemingly dominant person in control of the entire situation ultimately gets pulled down from their pedestal...

Chapter 2 Tie Clip

Chapter 2 Tie Clip

Yu Huan is 24 years old this year and has graduated for three years. This is her first time working.

In the first three years, I took the civil service exams and all the positions in the respectable units that my parents considered, at their request, but I failed every time.

Her parents originally wanted her to continue taking the exam, but several relatives said that she looked dull and dazed, and they all advised her parents not to let her continue taking the exam, saying that not only would she be delayed by her age, but she would also become stupid.

She was the only child in the Yu family. Perhaps because they were afraid that she would become stupid, her parents finally gave in and let her go out to work.

Although she relaxed her mouth, her hands were still not loose. Her parents were not satisfied with several jobs she found on her own. They either thought the company was too small and not legitimate, or that the position was too low and not prestigious.

Finally, her parents used the connections of her former aunt's current stepson to get her into the company's administrative department.

She is still in the probation period. Whether she can be hired as a regular employee depends on her own ability.

The Chinese New Year was a week after the annual meeting. Yu Huan had just worked for a week and hadn’t met many people in the company before he started his holiday.

By the time her annual leave was over, more than half of the first month of her probation period had passed.

The three-month probation period was over quickly. Although Yu Huan was not very smart, he was diligent and able to read the cues, so he was successfully converted to a formal employee of the company.

During this period, she also got a general idea of ​​the company's situation.

Her company was a subsidiary of the Hui'an Group in H City, specializing in side dishes. Its general manager was Meng Han, the grandson of the group's chairman and the man who had appeared at the annual meeting.

The young, handsome and single boss is a big killer among the female employees. Everyone is keen to talk about him. There are five people in the administrative department including Yu Huan. Except for her, no matter whether they are married or single, their faces turn pink when talking about him.

However, Mr. Meng was very mysterious. Yu Huan had never met him in person since the annual meeting. He was always busy, either inspecting factories in other parts of the country or investigating overseas markets.

Occasionally in the company, I either see his back or hear about him from colleagues.

Yu Huan is not interested in whether the boss is in the company or not. As long as the company does not go bankrupt and the salary is paid on time, she will be satisfied.

That day, Yu Huan went to work as usual, but he came a little earlier than usual, and the area in front of the elevator was unusually empty.

At this time, the elevator came up from the underground garage and quickly reached the first floor.

The elevator opened, and she walked inside out of inertia. Her eyes suddenly met a familiar face, and she realized there was someone in the elevator.

There were two men, one of whom was someone she was very familiar with, He Xiaowei, the current stepson of her former aunt, and the person who would introduce her to the company.

He Xiaowei holds a high position in the company, secretary to the general manager.

When he saw Yu Huan, he nodded slightly at her.

The two pretended not to know each other in the company and maintained a relationship as ordinary colleagues.

Yu Huan nodded at him, then looked at the man next to him who made her a little nervous, Meng Han, her boss.

"Good morning, Mr. Meng." She spoke softly and took the initiative to greet her boss.

After saying hello, she felt something was wrong and greeted He Xiaowei again, "Good morning, Secretary He."

"Good morning." Meng Han was just like last time. Although he looked cold, he was very polite and responded to her greeting in a calm voice.

The scene was too noisy during the annual meeting, so his voice was not so obvious.

Listening to it now from such a close distance in a quiet environment, his voice is clear and slightly magnetic.

It fits the feeling he gives people.

After saying hello, Yu Huan retreated to the corner of the elevator, trying to make himself invisible.

The two people in front of her didn't pay any attention to her presence and were talking about work.

When the elevator was halfway up, a group of people suddenly rushed in and the elevator became crowded in an instant.

He Xiaowei stood in front of Meng Han, separating him from the crowd. Meng Han then stepped back and stood in a row with Yu Huan.

Yu Huan couldn't help but feel nervous when the minion who originally just wanted to hide in the corner suddenly stood side by side with the BOSS.

Moreover, he was much taller than her, and when he got closer to her, the air seemed thinner, making her feel a little stuffy.

She looked next to her and saw that there was some space, so she moved to the side to increase the distance between them.

Her action was too obvious and attracted the attention of the boss.

Yu Huan suddenly felt that he was being too obvious. He didn't think that he disliked him, did he?

Can you explain?

But she didn't know how to start. Could it be that she felt he was too oppressive and suffocating?

These words are even more imaginative.

While she was struggling, the elevator stopped again and the group of people who had just gotten on rushed down again.

The elevator became spacious again, and Meng Han and He Xiaowei returned to their original seats and continued the topic they had not finished talking about.

Yu Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had overthought it. Mr. Meng did not take what happened just now to heart.

The elevator then continued to move smoothly to the floor where the company was located without stopping.

The elevator opened and the two people in front stepped out first.

Yu Huan was about to catch up when she found a metal object at her feet. She bent down to pick it up and found it was a collar clip.

She remembered that it was not on the ground before she entered the elevator, but now it appeared at her feet. It could only have been dropped by Meng Han, who was standing next to her just now.

Walking out of the elevator with her tie clip in hand, she called out to the person in front of her.

"Secretary He."

He Xiaowei stopped when he heard the voice and looked at Yu Huan with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Meng Han, who was walking next to He Xiaowei, also looked over.

Yu Huan originally just wanted to call He Xiaowei, but she didn't expect Meng Han to stop, so she hesitated for a moment.

Should he hand it directly to Meng Han, or pretend not to know who it belongs to and give it to He Xiaowei?

In the end she chose the latter.

He walked up to He Xiaowei and spread out his hands. "I found this tie clip in the elevator. I don't know who it belongs to."

Their eyes fell on her palm at the same time, and that clear voice spoke first.

"This is mine."

Of course Yu Huan knew it was his. She immediately handed the collar clip to him with both hands and looked down at her palms.

This was a completely subconscious action, and she felt secretly annoyed after doing it.

It seemed a little too servile, and she even felt that she was a bit like a eunuch in the palace trying to show off in front of his master.

I wonder if Meng Han thinks the same way.

Her chaotic thoughts were interrupted by a hand that appeared in front of her, and Meng Han took the collar clip from her palm.

"Thanks."

His movements were gentle and gentlemanly, and he didn't touch her hand at all.

After retrieving his collar clip, he turned around and continued walking forward.

He Xiaowei raised an eyebrow at her, turned around and followed.

Yu Huan didn't quite understand what He Xiaowei meant by raising his eyebrows, but he was usually a very active person in life, so she didn't think much about it. After punching in at the gate, she walked towards the administrative office.

He Xiaowei caught up with Meng Han and followed him into the general manager's office.

"Boss Meng, if I go to do that for you, do you need to hire a secretary for you?"

Meng Han sat down at his desk and said casually, "You decide. Don't bring in any random people."

He Xiaowei chuckled. "I know. How about this? We can just transfer someone from the administration department. An experienced employee will be familiar with the company environment and will be able to get started faster."

Meng Han looked up at him. "Do you have a candidate?"

He Xiaowei immediately shook his head, "No! How about this, I'll pick a few people and organize their information for you, and you can choose?"

"OK."

He Xiaowei was very efficient at work. Before leaving get off work that day, he submitted the list of secretary candidates.

There are three people in total.

Meng Han's eyes scanned the three lists and finally landed on one of them.

The person in the ID photo has a faint smile and looks quite honest.

He pulled out the list and handed it to He Xiaowei, "Let's pick her."

He Xiaowei took the list and looked at the candidates he expected, feeling proud.

"Okay, then I'll call her over first and ask her what she wants."
