Chapter 194 You Should Feel Honored

Shi Qian was caught off guard and was pushed by Ye Shi, stumbling back a step.

His brows furrowed.

Looking up, he saw Ye Shi winking at him and whispered, "Wang Yuanyuan is behind you."

Shi Qian pursed his lips and said nothing.

Seeing Wang Yuanyuan walking towards them, Ye Shi smiled and said loudly, "Boss Shi, I'll send you tomorrow's schedule when I get home. Bye!"

Then she signaled Shi Qian with her eyes to close the car door for her.

Shi Qian pretended not to notice and said in a neither loud nor soft voice, "Secretary Ye, my car broke down. Please give me a ride."

Ye Shi: “…”

Shi Qian sat in the passenger seat and closed the door.

Wang Yuanyuan heard their conversation, but still looked at them in surprise.

Shi Qian glanced at Wang Yuanyuan and said, "Goodbye, Secretary Wang."

Wang Yuanyuan raised her hand with a stiff face and waved twice: "Goodbye, Mr. Shi!"

Shi Qian turned to look at Ye Shi, who looked very pale. "Drive, Secretary Ye."

Ye Shi glanced at Wang Yuanyuan, whose eyes seemed to want to eat her up, started the car and left.

Wang Yuanyuan took a look at the Maybach.

Is it broken?

She saw Mr. Shi driving here in the morning.

Even if the car broke down, Mr. Shi shouldn't have taken Ye Shi's car. Ye Shi was his female subordinate, and he should have avoided suspicion. He could have just taken a taxi.

Wang Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes, she still felt that something was fishy.

…

Ye Shi drove out for a while and said, "Boss Shi, you shouldn't have gotten in my car. If Wang Yuanyuan knew about this, everyone in the company would know."

Shi Qian: "Didn't I say my car broke down? There's nothing wrong with using my subordinate's car."

Ye Shi: "If you say that, few people will believe it."

"Let them be. We are innocent, right, Secretary Ye?"

Ye Shi: "Although there is nothing wrong between us, this kind of misunderstanding should be avoided if possible. Some things are hard to explain."

"Secretary Ye, you should feel honored to have a scandal with me."

"Why?"

"You are the first person in the company to have a scandal with me."

Ye Shi: “…”

She didn't feel honored at all.

really.

The next day, when Ye Shi arrived at the company, she noticed that everyone was looking at her strangely.

At noon, when Ye Shi went to the Finance Department, the Director of Finance was very polite to her.

The director of the finance department is a middle-aged man, fat and well-known for his ability to judge people by their preferences.

There were several times before when Ye Shi went to talk to him about work, but he was very impatient and perfunctory with her. He asked her to make several trips for something that could be solved in one go.

Today, the director of the finance department politely asked her to sit down and the work was discussed in just a few minutes.

When Ye Shi was about to leave, the director of the finance department even saw her off to the door.

He said flatteringly, "Secretary Ye, please say a few good words for me in front of President Shi."

Ye Shi smiled faintly, said nothing, turned around and left the Finance Department.

A company is like a small society, and getting things done requires connections. If you don't have connections, leaders, big and small, will block you. If you have connections, those leaders will be polite to you.

Ye Shi felt that there were benefits to having a scandal with Shi Qian.

The director of the finance department originally doubted the relationship between Ye Shi and Mr. Shi, but when he asked Ye Shi to speak well of Mr. Shi, although Ye Shi did not say anything, he did not refute it, which meant that he tacitly acknowledged the relationship between her and Mr. Shi.

He was blind and rude to Ye Shi before, so he has to please her in the future.

…

Wang Yuanyuan is very upset now.

She had spread rumors that Ye Shi had bad intentions and seduced Mr. Shi, saying she had seen Mr. Shi get into Ye Shi's car. She wanted her colleagues to spit on Ye Shi and scold her.

But after the information was spread, the effect was the opposite.

Everyone thought that Ye Shi was the woman that Mr. Shi liked, and they were trying to curry favor with her.

Even Yu Huanhuan, another colleague from the secretariat, deliberately approached Ye Shi and asked her if she wanted to eat the snacks she brought.

She was almost depressed to death.

It's lunch time.

Ye Shi turned off the computer and prepared to go downstairs to eat.

Yu Huanhuan ran over and took her arm: "Ye Shi, let's go together. What do you want to eat?"

Ye Shi: “…”

She was stunned for a moment.

She has been in the secretariat for some time. There are four people in the secretariat including her. Liao Qin is quite caring towards her, but Wang Yuanyuan doesn't like her. Yu Huanhuan is indifferent to her and hangs out with Wang Yuanyuan most of the time.

She never had lunch with them, always ate alone.

Yu Huanhuan was particularly enthusiastic towards her today and spoke to her several times throughout the morning.

He had already held her arm, and she couldn't push him away, so she could only say, "I want to go eat that new beef noodle restaurant."

Yu Huanhuan immediately replied with a smile: "Oh, I know that one, it's on the corner of the basement floor of the shopping mall next door."

Ye Shi nodded.

Yu Huanhuan called out to Liao Qin and Wang Yuanyuan, "Sister Liao, are you going?"

Liao Qin had no objection and stood up: "Let's go together."

Wang Yuanyuan curled her lips and followed.

The four of us had dinner together for the first time.

When ordering, Yu Huanhuan said, "Ye Shi, let me help you order."

"No, I ordered it myself."

"I see."

Yu Huanhuan then pretended to ask Liao Qin and Wang Yuanyuan across from them, "Can I help you order together?"

Both of them shook their heads.

After spending some time together, everyone knew what kind of person Yu Huanhuan was. She was very smooth and acted according to her cues.

Everyone ordered their meals and waited boredly.

Liao Qin and Wang Yuanyuan were watching videos on their phones. Ye Shi also wanted to look at her phone for a while, but Yu Huanhuan kept talking to her.

"Ye Shi, you're quite impressive. You bought a car at such a young age. Unlike us, we still have to squeeze into the subway."

Ye Shi: "My parents bought the car. They work close to home, so they gave it to me."

"Is that so? Are you from here?"

"Well, I'm from Longcheng."

"It's good to be a local. We live close to home and can live there without paying rent. Unlike us, we have to pay rent every month, plus eating and socializing, so there's not much left from our monthly salary. We live a tight life."

Ye Shi nodded. It was true. She lived at home, saving a lot of money. It was more difficult for people from other places to come.

After the atmosphere fell silent, Yu Huanhuan looked at Liao Qin again.

"Sister Liao, do you live alone or share a house?"

Liao Qin is the highest paid among them. She is Mr. Shi’s chief secretary. Although her annual salary has not been made public, everyone privately speculates that she should earn one million.

With an annual salary of one million, you must live in a luxury apartment.

Liao Qin was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the topic to turn to her.

She said, "I live with my boyfriend."

"Sister Liao, do you have a boyfriend? Why haven't I heard you tell me?"

Everyone was surprised.

Liao Qin smiled and said, "There has always been one."
