Chapter 47 Just pretend I was joking about yesterday.

Mr. Ji's secretary feigned reluctance: "Well... Mr. Ji, you should go and talk to Mr. Ji yourself."

"Don't worry, I'll go find him right now."

"Li Mai, you stay right here and don't go anywhere!"

Li Mai remained silent.

Ji Wangyu left in a hurry.

They must have gone to see Chairman Ji.

Assistant Liu and Assistant Xiao exchanged a glance.

They thought that Chairman Ji wanted to weaken the power of Ji Wangyu, his illegitimate son, and transfer Li Mai away.

Li Maike was Ji Wangyu's confidant.

There's always a lot of drama in wealthy families; everyone's fighting and trying to protect themselves from this and that.

Li Mai sat down to check a project document, but seemed somewhat distracted.

...

An hour later, Ji Wangyu returned with a dark expression.

He stopped in front of Li Mai and said, "I've already discussed it with Chairman Ji that you'll still be working here."

After saying that, Ji Wangyu went into his office.

Li Mai didn't know why Chairman Ji suddenly wanted to transfer her, but she guessed it was because of what happened yesterday.

Chairman Ji misunderstood her relationship with Ji Wangyu.

But now it's not a misunderstanding on Ms. Ji's part; she has no improper thoughts about Ji Wangyu, but Ji Wangyu is trying to mess around.

I don't know what Ji Wangyu said to Chairman Ji, but Chairman Ji agreed to let her stay in the General Manager's Secretariat.

...

In the afternoon, Chairman Ji's secretary came over again.

"Secretary Li, could you go to Rongzheng in a little while and check the details of Friday's meeting with Secretary Sun?"

Li Mai nodded in agreement.

Before she left, she knocked on Ji Wangyu's office door.

"Come in."

When Li Mai went inside, she was choked by the strong smell of smoke and coughed several times.

Ji Wangyu leaned back in his office chair, puffing on a cigarette, his eyes looking forlorn and dejected.

Li Mai guessed that he had a bad talk with Chairman Ji and was hiding in his office smoking alone.

"President Ji, I'm going to Rongzheng to check the details of Friday's meeting."

She is Ji Wangyu's secretary; she should report this to him.

Ji Wangyu turned his gaze away and it fell on her.

His tone was very soft: "Li Mai, just consider what happened yesterday as a joke I made up. Forget about it."

Li Mai's eyes lit up instantly.

The smile couldn't be hidden.

He muttered under his breath, "President Ji, how could you joke like that with me? It scared me to death."

"I've already decided to resign."

"Don't joke like that with me again. I'm timid and might resign. If I resign, you'll lose an excellent secretary."

Li Mai's words and her gaze hurt Ji Wangyu.

"What's wrong with me? You're so averse to me? Is it really necessary? You even quit your job!"

Li Mai said in a relaxed tone: "President Ji, I only see you as my boss. I have no other feelings for you. If anything else were to develop between us, it would be very awkward, and we wouldn't be able to work together."

Ji Wangyu was already feeling aggrieved, and now Li Mai had stabbed him in the chest.

He looked away: "Go out."

Li Mai left the office and instructed Assistant Liu not to disturb Ji Wangyu, as he was in a bad mood.

Assistant Liu gave her a thumbs-up.

She's not stupid; she figured it out.

When President Ji returned, he was in a very low mood.

Li Mai drove to Rongzheng and greeted the receptionist.

Receptionist: "Secretary Li, President Zhou is in a meeting, and Secretary Sun is also in it. Please go upstairs and wait for a while."

The receptionist pressed the elevator button for Li Mai.

Zhou Songyan's office is on the 22nd floor.

After Li Mai arrived, an assistant led her to the reception room.

Li Mai sat there and waited for about ten minutes.

Sun Yuanjie has arrived.

Sun Yuanjie's face was beaming with joy, even more so than before.

"Secretary Li, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Li Mai felt bad; Secretary Sun was always so polite.

A secretary of Sun Yuanjie's caliber earns a million-dollar annual salary, and everyone inside and outside the company tries to curry favor with him.

Li Mai stood up and said with a smile, "Secretary Sun is a very busy person, it's only right that I wait a few minutes."

"That won't do. If I keep you waiting too long, Mr. Zhou will scold me."

Li Mai: "..."

She blushed with embarrassment.

How much does Secretary Sun know about her and Zhou Songyan?

She changed the subject: "Secretary Sun, let's begin."

She knew the other party's time was precious, so a quick resolution was best.

Sun Yuanjie and Li Mai checked the information for thirty minutes.

Li Mai packed her things and prepared to leave.

Sun Yuanjie: "Secretary Li, regarding the cooperation meeting on Friday, President Zhou has a question he'd like to discuss with you. He wants you to come to his office after you've finished here."

Sun Yuanjie was speechless.

If Mr. Zhou wants to see them, he should just say so directly. There's no need to beat around the bush.

We still need to make him think of an excuse.

His job as a secretary must be really tiring.

Not only do you have to work, you also have to help your boss pursue other women.

Li Mai paused for a moment, then followed Sun Yuanjie to Zhou Songyan's office.

Zhou Songyan was on the phone when his eyes caught sight of Li Mai. He exchanged a few words with her and then hung up.

Sun Yuanjie, with great shrewdness, slipped away, closing the door behind him.

Li Mai felt a tightness in her chest as she faced Zhou Songyan alone.

"Mr. Zhou, are there any further questions regarding Friday's cooperation meeting?"

Zhou Songyan, dressed in a well-tailored haute couture suit with black trousers that accentuated her long legs, leaned lazily against a chair, exuding masculine charm.

Five years ago, Zhou Songyan was also in great shape. She exercised regularly and had eight-pack abs when she took off her clothes.

I don't know if it's still around now.

After all, many men gain weight and develop beer bellies as they get older.

Judging by appearances, Zhou Songyan doesn't seem to have a beer belly.

But whether those eight-pack abs have been replaced by fat is unknown.

Be aware of what you are thinking.

Li Mai blushed.

My god, she's so lewd!

Li Mai quickly stopped the jumbled thoughts in her mind.

Zhou Songyan spoke up: "Li Mai, why are you blushing?"

Li Mai has very fair skin, and her face is rosy when she blushes, making you want to take a bite.

Li Mai remained calm: "Your office is too hot."

Zhou Songyan smiled faintly, then got up and walked towards her.

Li Mai's heart pounded, and she resisted the urge to back away.

Zhou Songyan walked up to her, only a palm's distance away.

Zhou Songyan is very tall and has a good body proportion; she is the legendary nine-headed beauty.

He leaned closer to her, his voice seductive: "Take off your coat if you're hot."

Li Mai shook her head decisively: "No need, I can endure it."

Taking off your clothes in Zhou Songyan's office is like grilling meat skewers in front of a tiger.

That's too dangerous!

Zhou Songyan: "It's so hot, it breaks my heart."

Li Mai: "..."

She took a few steps back, sat down on the sofa, and steered the conversation back on track: "Mr. Zhou, let's talk about work."

Zhou Songyan smiled and sat down next to her, crossing his long legs.

"Okay, let's talk about work."

Li Mai looked at him: "What are your requirements and thoughts on the meeting, Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Songyan leaned back, propped his head up, and looked at her without saying a word.

Li Mai hesitated for a moment, then said, "If President Zhou has no problem, I'll head back."

"Don't rush me, I'm thinking about it."

Li Mai: "..."

Zhou Songyan: "When I saw you, my mind was all foggy, and I forgot the question I was going to ask."

Li Mai: "..."

She stood up and left.

Zhou Songyan reached out and pulled Li Mai into his arms.
