Chapter 141 His real intention was not what it seemed.

The colleagues ignored the little incident and continued their discussion.

"Didn't the young master dislike coming to the company? Even the chairman's threats and inducements didn't work, so he went off to become a food blogger."

"Who knows? Maybe he suddenly realized something. After all, Chairman Peng only has one son, and the company will have to be handed over to him sooner or later. What can he do if he doesn't take it?"

"Sigh, is this the trouble of the rich? They don't want to inherit companies. I wish my family had a company for me to inherit, then I wouldn't have to work this lousy job."

"Even if you inherit it, you still have to go to work, right?"

"Can you feel the same way working for yourself versus working for someone else?"

You Huan ate absentmindedly.

Back in her office, she sent Peng Zixu a message: "I heard you're coming to work at the company?"

Peng Zixu replied instantly: 【Yes, please give me your guidance in the future, Secretary You.】

You Huan did not reply to him.

She wanted to ask Peng Zixu why he suddenly came to work at the company, and whether it was for her. But fearing she might be presumptuous, she didn't ask.

This is Peng Zixu's family company; they can come and go as they please, and it's none of her business.

Peng Zixu waited for a long time but didn't receive a reply from You Huan, and was somewhat disappointed.

afternoon.

When You Huan went to deliver documents to Chairman Peng's office, she was stopped: "Secretary You, starting tomorrow, you will be transferred to assist the company's newly appointed general manager, Peng Zixu, who is my son."

You Huan: "..."

After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Chairman Peng, can we send someone else?"

Peng Jin looked at her and said, "Do you have any concerns? Don't worry, your salary will still be paid as it is now."

"no……"

"It's good that you have no worries. You are experienced and I trust you to assist Zixu."

You Huan mentally ranted and raved.

Mr. Peng, don't trust me. I'm not a good person. I've already slept with your precious son.

You Huan was still desperately trying to explain: "But Chairman Peng, what about you?"

Peng Jin smiled and said, "I've already given the instructions, and someone will be taking over your post soon."

"It's settled then. Zixu's office is on the sixteenth floor. You can move downstairs to work tomorrow."

You Huan walked out of the chairman's office, her mind in turmoil.

You Huan went to Li Mai's house for a free meal after get off work and took the opportunity to vent her frustrations.

"MaiMai, do you think Peng Zixu did it on purpose?"

Li Mai smiled and said, "It's obviously intentional. Someone who never goes to the company suddenly starts working there and wants you to be his secretary. His real intentions are not what they seem."

"Then what do you suggest I do?"

"Senior, what are you afraid of?"

You Huan said guiltily, "I wasn't scared."

"Of course you're scared! Peng Zixu even chased you to the company. Why don't you just talk to him?"

You Huan covered her head: "If Chairman Peng finds out that I'm having an affair with his son, he'll definitely fire me immediately."

"Not necessarily. What if Chairman Peng doesn't object to you?"

“I don’t have such daydreams. How many wealthy families are like the Zhou family that don’t care about social status? Most wealthy families choose their daughters-in-law from within their own circles. Ordinary people like me can’t get in.”

Li Mai sighed.

That's absolutely true.

She didn't dare to advise You Huan either.

"Senior, what are you going to do?"

You Huan: "Let's see what Peng Zixu is up to first. It's almost the end of the year. After the New Year, I'll change jobs."

You Huan glanced at the time, grabbed her bag, and stood up: "It's getting late, I'm going back."

Li Mai saw her to the door.

Zhou Songyan has a social engagement tonight and hasn't returned yet.

You Huan only dared to come over after learning from Li Mai that Zhou Songyan would be back late.

She didn't want to be a glaring third wheel.

...

The next day, You Huan carried her belongings to the sixteenth floor.

I knocked on Peng Zixu's office door.

A familiar voice came from inside: "Come in."

You Huan recalled the scene of Peng Zixu calling her "sister" from the bed.

The bones instantly turned to jelly.

Absolutely not! Absolutely not!

You lecherous woman, you can't think about it anymore!

You Huan composed herself and pushed open the door to go inside.

Peng Zixu, dressed in a suit, sat behind his desk, sunlight streaming through the glass window and casting a halo around him.

It made her eyes blurry.

"Mr. Peng, where is my workstation?"

Peng Zixu pointed to the opposite side.

You Huan turned her head to look.

There was a table and a chair opposite.

Peng Zixu: "You are my secretary, so it's convenient for us to discuss work while you sit there."

You Huan frowned: "That's not appropriate. I'll sit at the workstation outside."

How can she concentrate on her work when she can see young, handsome men all the time?

Peng Zixu twirled a black fountain pen in his hand: "What's inappropriate about it? Is Secretary You hiding something, or is Secretary You afraid that she won't be able to control herself and seduce me?"

You Huan: "..."

She stared speechlessly at the man lounging lazily in his chair.

How come she didn't realize this guy was so cunning before?

I thought he was a gentle, sweet puppy.

Hehe, he's a little wolfhound with a wicked plan.

He deliberately moved closer to her and teased her.

She has a very weak will.

What will we do then?

She patiently reasoned, "President Peng, if I were to work in your office, people would gossip, which would damage your reputation, and it wouldn't be good if word got back to Chairman Peng."

Peng Zixu: "What are you afraid of? We haven't done anything wrong."

You Huan: "..."

Didn't you do it?

What did it matter if they lingered in bed all those nights?

"General Manager Peng..."

Peng Zixu interrupted her: "Secretary You, is it my first day at work, and you're already trying to teach me how to do things? Why don't you come and sit in my seat?"

You Huan: "..."

She gritted her teeth, picked up her things, sat down opposite, and silently tidied the table, arranging her things neatly.

Ignore the scorching gaze from across the way.

Since he's not afraid, why should she be?

Her reputation is not as important as the Peng family's.

If Chairman Peng gets angry, she can simply resign.

You Huan accepted the job with a "let's take it one step at a time" attitude and agreed to share an office with Peng Zixu.

...

Li Mai was tending to the flowers in the sunroom when her phone rang.

She took off her gloves, pulled out her phone, and saw it was Zheng Anze; her heart sank.

"Big brother."

Zheng Anze: "What's wrong with you? Didn't you see I called you? You didn't even call back."

Li Mai feigned surprise and said, "Did you call me? I didn't see it."

She actually saw it, but was too lazy to reply.

Zheng Anze knew she was faking it and couldn't be bothered to argue with her.

"I am divorced."

Li Mai: "..."

Zheng Anze had previously mentioned that he and his sister-in-law were getting a divorce, and it turned out they really did.

She pursed her lips and said, "Happy divorce."

Zheng Anze: "..."

This younger sister is getting angrier and angrier with her words, always hitting him where it hurts.

He said in a low voice, "Mom has been in a bad mood ever since she found out about my divorce."

Li Mai did not speak.

What does Li Shirong's bad mood have to do with her?

She's not a joker; she can't make Li Shirong happy.

Even if she is a source of joy, she can't be Li Shirong's source of joy. If Li Shirong sees her and hears her voice, her mood will only worsen.
