Chapter 217 Even if I have a lot of money, I can't spend it recklessly, your mother will scold me.

You Huan and Peng Zixu went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate the next day.

The process went smoothly.

After receiving their marriage certificate, the two posted it on their WeChat Moments.

Li Mai immediately liked and commented "Congratulations!"

That's great, these two have finally stopped causing trouble.

Li Mai's phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number.

She hesitated slightly before answering.

"Hello, are you Ms. Li Maili?"

"I am."

"This is the Human Resources Department of Yuxing Company. We have received your resume. Please come to our company for an interview at 9:00 AM tomorrow."

For a moment, Li Mai thought she was hallucinating.

interview?

She finally received a job interview invitation from the company.

"Miss Li?"

"Oh, I'm listening. Thank you. I'll be there on time tomorrow morning."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mai was extremely excited.

Having been out of work for a long time, she thought she was going to be completely abandoned by the workplace.

...

That evening, after Zhou Songyan finished showering, he saw Li Mai engrossed in watching a tablet.

He walked over and glanced at it.

"Yuxing Company?"

Li Mai raised her head, her eyes smiling: "Yu Xing Company's HR department notified me of an interview tomorrow. I'd like to learn more about the company beforehand."

Zhou Songyan paused while drying her hair: "I've never heard of this company. It's probably very small. Don't go."

These small companies have a lot of work but low wages, so they expect their employees to have three heads and six arms and do everything.

He didn't want Li Mai to work too hard.

Li Mai shook her head: "I want to go."

She finally got a job interview with a company.

She can't miss it.

It doesn't matter if the company is small.

She just wanted to have a job.

Zhou Songyan didn't try to persuade him further and chose to respect his decision.

...

The next morning, Li Mai went to Yuxing Company for an interview.

The company is indeed very small.

There are many small companies in an office building.

"Miss Li, please come in."

Li Mai walked in and saw a capable-looking woman sitting in the boss's chair.

The woman looked up at her and examined her from head to toe.

"Miss Li was previously a secretary at the Ji Corporation?"

Li Mai nodded: "Yes."

Why did you resign?

"For personal reasons."

“Our company is much smaller than Ji’s. Besides me, there are three other employees. You’ll be my secretary and assistant. The work is quite complex and tedious, is that alright?”

Li Mai was slightly stunned.

Does this mean she's been hired?

"I can."

"Okay, come to work tomorrow."

After speaking, the woman lowered her head and continued working.

Not a single unnecessary word.

Rayleigh's dashing manner.

Later, Li Mai learned that the woman's name was Song Jingyuan, and that she was the owner of the company.

He resigned from a large company to start his own business.

He's a very formidable character.

Li Mai was given a huge amount of work on her first day at work.

Fortunately, she was experienced and handled it quite well.

After get off work, Song Jingyuan didn't leave, and Li Mai, as her secretary, couldn't leave first, so she stayed to work overtime with them.

She called Grandma Zhou in advance, and someone from the old house would pick up Chengcheng.

When Zhou Songyan returned home, the house was pitch black.

Li Mai did not return.

He took out his phone and called Li Mai.

The call was answered after five seconds.

"Honey, I'm working overtime and won't be home for a while."

Zhou Songyan frowned.

I had to work overtime on my first day at work.

He said that such small companies are unreliable.

"I'll come pick you up."

"No need, I'll drive..."

Before Li Mai could finish speaking, Zhou Songyan hung up the phone.

After finishing her work, Song Jingyuan came out with her bag and was somewhat surprised to see that Li Mai was still there.

Why haven't you left work yet?

Li Mai: "I'm your secretary, I'm just afraid you might need to contact me."

Song Jingyuan understood.

My liking for Lima has increased.

"You don't need to work overtime with me. Just leave work on time after you finish your work."

"Okay, Mr. Song."

Song Jingyuan: "Let's go together."

"good."

The two took the elevator downstairs together.

Li Mai went out on the first floor and waved to Song Jingyuan: "Goodbye, President Song."

"goodbye."

Song Jingyuan's car was parked in the underground garage.

As Li Mai walked out of the office building, she immediately spotted a black Bentley parked by the roadside.

Zhou Songyan opened the car door and walked towards her.

He naturally took the bag from her hand and wrapped her slightly cool hand in his palm.

Why are you making me work overtime on the very first day?

Li Mai leaned closer to him: "I didn't know the situation on the first day. The boss said that I could leave work normally after finishing my work and wouldn't have to work overtime. I think President Song is a pretty good person."

"Don't do it if it's too tiring. I don't want you to suffer."

"I'm not tired, I have plenty of energy."

Zhou Songyan smiled helplessly: "Get in the car."

The two did not go home, but went directly to the Zhou family's old house.

Grandma Zhou had the kitchen prepare dinner for them in advance.

The two of them took Chengcheng home after having dinner.

Li Mai suddenly said, "Honey, let's hire a nanny."

She was worried that the two of them would be too busy with work to take care of Chengcheng sometimes.

Zhou Songyan knew that she had been traumatized by hiring a nanny after giving birth to Chengcheng.

"I called over two people from the old house to use it."

"Alright."

The servants at the old house have worked for the Zhou family for many years and are trustworthy.

Don't worry, Li Mai.

...

The next day, Zhou Songyan called Sun Yuanjie over after arriving at the company.

"Go and investigate the situation of Yuxing Company."

Sun Yuanjie responded and went out.

Not long after, he came in with a stack of documents and placed them in front of Zhou Songyan.

The report stated, "The owner of Yuxing Company is named Song Jingyuan. She resigned from Fengling Company and founded Yuxing Company. The company is just starting out, and we can't see much yet. Its performance relies entirely on a few clients that Song Jingyuan brought from her former employer."

"Song Jingyuan is a workaholic, decisive and efficient. Opinions about her are mixed."

"Mr. Zhou, why are you investigating Yuxing? Do you want to acquire Yuxing?"

Zhou Songyan put down the documents and looked up.

"Li Mai went to Yu Xing to be Song Jingyuan's secretary."

Sun Yuanjie asked in surprise, "The president's wife is going to work at Yuxing? Why? Why doesn't she come to Rongzheng?"

Even if you don't come to Rongzheng, there are many other branches under Rongzheng that you can go to.

There's no need for the CEO's wife to work for such a small company.

The pay is low, and the work is exhausting.

Zhou Songyan rubbed his temples: "You can go now."

He said that if we respect Li Mai, we shouldn't interfere with her work.

The investigation into Yu Xing was to ensure the safety of her work environment and prevent a repeat of what You Huan had experienced.

Sun Yuanjie left.

...

Saturday.

After breakfast, Zhou Songyan said, "Let's go try on wedding dresses in a bit."

Li Mai: "..."

She had almost forgotten about it.

"I'm going upstairs to change my clothes."

Chengcheng: "I want to go too."

Zhou Songyan glanced at him: "What are you going to do?"

"I want to see my mom in her wedding dress."

Zhou Songyan pursed her lips, but ultimately said nothing.

...

Wedding dress shop.

Chengcheng and Zhou Songyan changed into suits and sat side by side on the sofa.

"Dad, do I really have to be a flower girl at your wedding?"

Zhou Songyan: "Being a flower girl is so wonderful, just like being a little angel."

Chengcheng frowned: "But I don't want to be one."

"Why?"

"I'm shy."

Zhou Songyan: "..."

He reached out and pinched the little guy's cheek: "You're so thick-skinned, what's there to be shy about?"

Chengcheng pushed his hand away.

"You're so rich, can't you even afford flower girls?"

“I can’t just squander my money, your mom will scold me. It’s so much better to use you, you’re free.”
