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 92 New Image

Carrying a lot of bags back to the neighborhood, before going home, Yu Huan took out a shopping bag of an unknown brand that he had prepared long ago, replaced the original bag, cut off the labels on the clothes, and then walked home.

When she got home, Yu's mother saw her carrying several shopping bags and her eyebrows immediately raised.

"Buying clothes again?"

Yu Huan had a bitter face, even more resentful than Yu Ma. "Today, the leader from headquarters called me out again. They said I was dressed too unfashionably and was damaging the company's image."

"Mom, am I really that unsophisticated?" She asked back, which stumped Yu Ma.

Yu Ma was choked by the words in her mouth. She was stunned for a moment and couldn't find the words to answer, so she could only change the subject.

"Show me what you bought?"

Yu Huan handed the clothes over, complaining, "This is the store that the leader recommended to me. She said it was run by her sister, and she even asked her sister to pick it out for me personally. I don't like it, but it's hard to refuse."

Yu Ma took out the skirts and frowned after looking at them. "Why are they all skirts? Are your leaders male or female?"

"The woman said that I always look like a real estate agent when I wear black pants, so she insisted that I wear this kind of pants. Do you think she did it on purpose, just to get me to take care of her sister's business?" Yu Huan's tone was full of annoyance.

Yu Ma immediately said, "Of course she is! I've never seen a leader who cares about everything and even what others wear. She must be trying to attract business for her sister! How can you be so stupid? Just buy what she tells you to!"

Yu Huan lowered his eyebrows. "She's the leader, after all. I heard she's been working at the headquarters for over ten years. Even CEO Meng has to listen to her. How could I dare not listen to her?"

Yu's mother was about to speak when Yu's father interrupted, "Since the leader has said so, then listen to her. Since the leader has remembered you, whether it's a good impression or a bad one, at least you've appeared in front of her. Just listen carefully to the instructions this time and try to leave a good impression. You can still be promoted in the future."

Yu's father has been a worker all his life, but he always thinks he has a long-term and unique vision, and he always gives a lecture on such things.

Yu Huan also grasped his idea and pulled out the non-existent leader to take the blame.

After hearing what Yu's father said, Yu's mother stopped nagging and turned the topic to the price.

“How much did these cost?”

With the experience from last time, Yu Huan did not say it was too low and quoted a price that was neither high nor low.

"They said they gave me a discount, the average price is 300-400 yuan per piece, and these cost 1,800 yuan."

Yu Ma looked her over and asked, "You only keep two thousand yuan a month. Where do you get the money to buy clothes?"

Yu Huan pursed her lips and said, "I saved some money before, and my colleague lent me a few hundred yuan. I will pay her back next month."

As she spoke, she looked up at Yu Ma and said, "Mom, can I keep a little more money on me every month? Two thousand is really not enough. Now my colleagues at the company are wondering if my family is in a particularly difficult situation."

"Last time I heard a colleague say behind my back that I was from the countryside and pretending to be a city dweller because I didn't have money."

This remark hurt Yu Ma again. Yu Ma had no ability in her life. When she was young, she could still show off Yu Wei. After Yu Wei's death, the only thing she could show off was her identity as a local city dweller in H City.

Hearing this, he immediately exploded, "What? You're from the countryside? Ha, has he ever seen people from the countryside living in the city center? Even though our house is old, they can't afford it even if they work their whole lives!"

Yu Huan didn't say anything this time, letting Yu Ma vent. After Yu Ma finished, she reluctantly said, "From now on, keep 3,000 yuan for yourself, and invest the rest in your company. By the way, has your company started construction on that project?"

"Well, it is said that the land has been acquired and construction will begin in the second half of the year. I will take you to see the site then."

After hearing this, Yu Ma felt relieved and stuffed the clothes into her pocket and handed them to Yu Huan.

He took the pocket and said, "Then I'll go wash up first."

Yu Huan carried the bag and walked into his room in a good mood.

She would never have dared to lie to her parents like this before, but now, not only does she dare to lie, she even lies without batting an eyelid, telling one lie after another.

All this is due to the fact that she now has confidence in herself and the confidence to fight against her parents.

The next day, Yu Huan got up early, put on full makeup, wore new clothes and new shoes, and went out excitedly.

On the subway to Meng Han's house, she kept looking at the projection on the subway, thinking about how she looked today.

Today she didn't tie her hair up, her straight black hair was scattered behind her ears, she wore a white V-neck shirt on the upper body, a light blue straight skirt on the lower body, and a pair of cream-colored low-heeled shoes. She looked refreshing and capable, a very standard workplace image.

It is indeed much more pleasing to the eye than her previous all-black attire. It suits her age without making her look too childish.

When she reached the gate of the residential complex, the security guard, who was used to seeing her in all black, didn't recognize her at first. But after taking a second look at her, he exclaimed in surprise, "Secretary Yu? You look so beautiful today!"

Yu Huan was in a better mood and couldn't help but move faster, wanting to see Meng Han earlier and get his praise.

After setting breakfast as usual, she went upstairs to match her clothes.

When she was picking up her tie, her eyes were fixed on a light blue tie.

This tie was very similar in color to her skirt, which made her feel a little itchy.

If he wore this tie, standing next to her, it would be like they were wearing matching outfits.

Such thoughts made her heart flutter, but she only dared to imagine it in her mind and did not dare to actually do it.

It was too blatant. Her sudden change today would definitely cause a sensation in the company. If she revealed her little thoughts, people would definitely guess it.

Perhaps Meng Han would be the first to see through her little thoughts without anyone else’s help.

When she thought of Meng Han's reaction after he saw through her little thoughts, she put down the tie angrily and picked up a black one next to it.

She can be arrogant because of the favor, but she cannot cross the bottom line. Beyond the bottom line, she is not sure that Meng Han will indulge her again.

After matching the clothes, Yu Huan left the cloakroom. Meng Han should be having breakfast downstairs at this time.

Instead of going directly to the garage, she went downstairs to the dining room.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the restaurant, Meng Han heard footsteps and turned around to see Yu Huan standing at the door.

He glanced at her, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he looked at her and asked, "What are you doing here?"

As soon as he smiled, Yu Huan knew that her little thoughts were exposed and she knew all her ideas and thoughts.

She didn't hide it anymore and just brought it up openly.

"Look, I completed my task today very well."
