Chapter 7 Acting on one's own initiative

After putting the documents on the table, Meng Han also walked over. Yu Huan didn't dare to look at people's faces, so he looked at him.

He adjusted the cufflinks on his other hand with one hand, revealing a wrist that was distinctly bony yet powerful.

I can be a hand model, she thought.

Meng Han sat down at his desk, took the document that Yu Huan had placed on the table, and began to look at it carefully.

The document was several pages long and he wasn't reading it very quickly, so it would probably take him several minutes.

Yu Huan stood by, unsure of what to do next. Should she go out and wait for him to call her? Or should she just wait here?

Would it seem too dull to just wait here?

While thinking, his eyes swept over the coat draped over the armrest of the sofa.

She remembered what her elders at home had told her before she came to work in the company.

You have to be lively to please your boss.

Pursing her lips, she walked silently to the sofa, picked up the coat on the sofa, and hung it neatly on the coat rack beside her.

After hanging up, Yu Huan turned around and happened to meet Meng Han's gaze, and felt a little nervous.

He should be very satisfied with how lively I am.

"I'll wear it later, no need to hang it up." Meng Han's words made her secretly happy heart cool down.

He wouldn't think she was meddling in his affairs, would he?

She lowered her eyes and tried to make excuses for herself in a low voice.

"It'll wrinkle if you leave it like that."

Meng Han didn't say anything else and just thanked her.

"Thanks."

Yu Huan pursed her lips slightly, secretly rejoicing at her success in the first step of trying to please her boss, but Meng Han's words knocked her down from the clouds to earth again.

"But I don't like people who act on their own. Next time, don't touch my things."

Yu Huan was terrified, fearing that the triple salary he hadn't received yet would run away, so he immediately apologized and admitted his mistake.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Meng. I won't do it again next time."

Meng Han lifted his eyelids and glanced at her. Yu Huan thought her apology was not sincere enough, so she spoke again, "From now on, I will only do what you ask me to do. I will never do anything you don't ask me to do."

Meng Han curled his lips and corrected her, "It's just doing your own job."

Yu Huan nodded obediently, "Yes!"

Meng Han withdrew his gaze and continued to read the document in his hand. Yu Huan waited obediently by the side this time, his eyes watching his nose and his nose watching his heart.

After reading the document, Meng Han signed his name on the last page and said something as he handed it to Yu Huan.

"Let Secretary He come in."

"yes."

Yu Huan walked out of the office with the documents, closed the door, and became dejected.

After He Xiaowei finished his work, he saw her listless look and came over to take the document from her hand. "What's wrong? Did you get scolded?"

Yu Huan shook his head, then nodded, "I wasn't scolded, but I think I was disliked. Mr. Meng wants you to come in."

He Xiaowei patted her shoulder and said, "I'll go and test the waters. Don't let yourself be sent back before you even take office. That would be too embarrassing."

Yu Huan is not afraid of losing face, she is afraid of losing her job.

"Okay, I'll wait for you here."

As Yu Huan watched, He Xiaowei knocked on the office door.

"Enter."

Entering the office, He Xiaowei smiled and said, "Boss Meng, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Meng Han's originally indifferent face darkened slightly, and he threw his phone on the table, "Look at this."

He Xiaowei walked up and picked up his phone, which showed a local hot search.

An accident occurred at a food brand factory, and workers' compensation claims were rejected.

"Something happened at the factory? Why didn't we hear about it?"

Meng Han tapped the table with his fingertips. "Yes, our company is only an hour's drive away from the factory. Such a big thing, and no one in the company knows about it. It seems that they really don't take me, the general manager, seriously."

"He Xiaowei."

He Xiaowei paused. Whenever Meng Han called his name, he knew that someone was going to be in trouble.

"You say."

"Call the factory manager."

"yes."

After responding, He Xiaowei saw that Meng Han didn't seem to have anything else to say, so he handed the phone back and asked casually.

"Yu Huan, what do you think?"

Meng Han took back the phone and looked at him, "Is she your relative?"

This was no longer a secret, and He Xiaowei had no intention of hiding it any longer. He chuckled, "My cousin. But I didn't use any backdoor, she came in through the formal process."

Meng Han nodded slightly when he heard this. "Oh, she was also listed on the secretary candidate list through the formal process?"

He Xiaowei coughed lightly and said, "It was accidentally brought in. Besides, you didn't choose the person yourself."

Meng Han scoffed, "Get out."

He Xiaowei understood what was going on and turned to leave the office.

Yu Huan, who was anxiously waiting outside, saw someone coming out and immediately stepped forward and asked silently: How is it?

He Xiaowei gave her an OK gesture.

Yu Huan's heart slowly calmed down.

"I originally asked you to come here to hand over the work to you, but something unexpected happened today, so I guess I'll be busy. You go back first and come to the company tomorrow. I'll teach you slowly."

"Okay." She responded readily, even though tomorrow was Saturday.

The next day.

Yu Huan got up at her usual time. Although He Xiaowei said she could get up later, there was no such thing as sleeping in in her family, not even on holidays.

After getting up, preparing breakfast and putting it on the table, she went to the bathroom to wash up. When she came out, her parents were already at the table.

As soon as she came out, she heard her mother complaining.

"Why do they get dumber the bigger they get? How can this little be enough to eat?"

Yu Huan didn't want to eat at home today, so she didn't make her own portion. She explained, "I have to go to the company today to hand over to Brother Xiao Wei. He asked me to go early, so I didn't have time to eat, so I didn't make my portion."

She told her family about her promotion, but she didn't tell them that she had to go to work on Saturday to hand over the job.

Her father was unhappy when she said this, "What kind of work is this? I have to hand it over on Saturday!"

Yu Huan lowered his eyes and explained, "Because I'm starting on Monday, I have to complete the handover on Saturday and Sunday. Also, after the promotion, my workload will increase, and my work hours will be erratic. I might often work overtime and come home late."

Mother Yu frowned, her face filled with disdain. "What? She's always working overtime and coming home late? Is she a secretary or a mistress? It's so embarrassing to tell anyone. What kind of girl would spend all day running around with her male boss?"

"It's all your fault for not being able to live up to expectations. You couldn't even pass the civil service exam, but Xiaomei next door passed on her first try. You're so useless!"

"Civil servants are so good! They look respectable, have stable jobs, and don't have to run around in the wind and rain."

Yu Huan did not make any excuses to them. This kind of situation happened every day in her home and she had long been accustomed to it.

Her parents were not happy with anything she did.

Even though they asked her to take this job and she did it obediently, she still got nothing in return.

After the two of them finished their scolding, Yu Huan spoke softly.

"After the promotion, the salary will be three times what it is now."

Yu's father and mother stopped complaining. Yu Huan picked up her bag and said, "Then I'm going out."
