"Shh!" Yan Zhi made a shushing gesture.
Lin Xi instantly realized that it was fortunate that she and Yan Zhi had a good relationship; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to withstand Yan Zhi's gentle yet deadly attacks!
After get off work, Lin Xi rushed to the restaurant, and Sang Lishu also quickly left after submitting the Pei family cooperation contract on time. Soon, only Yan Zhi and Su Rao were left in the office.
Yan Zhi glanced casually at Su Rao's work progress and saw that Su Rao was at a loss and was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Hmm... Su Rao looks quite pitiful, a lot like Yan Zhi when she first entered the workforce...
Yan Zhizhen didn't lie to Su Rao and Sang Lishu. The cooperation contract with Pei's Group was indeed requested by President Leng, and the financial statements were also ordered by President Leng. Yan Zhizhen was just relaying the message.
Perhaps seeing her past self in Su Rao, Yan Zhi stood in front of Su Rao's desk and sincerely asked, "Secretary Su, do you need any help?"
Su Rao frowned. She usually bullied Yan Zhi so much, she didn't believe Yan Zhi would be so kind: "Are you trying to make a fool of me?"
Yan Zhi smiled modestly: "I just happen to have a better way than you."
Seeing Yan Zhi's sincere expression, Su Rao got up and let Yan Zhi take over. Yan Zhi typed a few incomprehensible characters on the computer, and in just a few minutes, the report was completed.
I spent almost half an hour working on it and only managed to finish a tiny fraction of it, while Yan Zhi finished it all in just a few minutes. It's amazing!
"How did you do that?" Su Rao's eyes lit up, and she instantly became a fan of Yan Zhilu, looking at her with admiration like a devoted fangirl. No wonder Lin Xi usually fawned over Yan Zhilu so much; anyone would fawn over her!
"I just modified some code," Yan Zhi said with a faint smile, keeping her composure.
"You're not a secretary, so how can you modify code?" Su Rao asked in surprise.
Yan Zhi's eyes darkened, and she paused slightly. A hint of pain flashed in her eyes, and her voice lowered: "Someone else taught me."
Yan Zhi does know some basic coding, all of which... was taught to her by Fei Fei.
Originally, Yan Zhi thought she was about to forget, but at this moment, the memory of Wen Fei's death suddenly attacked her.
"Could you ask him to teach me too?"
Su Rao's voice pulled Yan Zhi back to reality.
Yan Zhi paused for a few seconds, then forced a smile: "I'm afraid... that won't work."
"Don't be so stingy, how about I treat you to dinner?" Su Rao shook Yan Zhi's elbow and started to act coquettishly.
"She... passed away." Yan Zhi remembered that she was smiling, but as she said this, a tear suddenly fell from her eye and landed heavily on the back of her hand.
Yan Zhi hurriedly wiped her eyes, her smile, though gentle, looked more like a grimace.
Ten months later, when Wen Fei was mentioned again, Yan Zhi was still so sad, and the pain was still so clear.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure." Yan Zhi sniffed, trying to hide her vulnerability.
Su Rao was stunned. She never expected that Yan Zhi, who was always gentle and easygoing and didn't care about anything, would actually shed tears in front of others.
What an important person or event must have been for Yan Zhi's eyes to well up with tears when she mentioned it again.
But everyone has a sense of curiosity, and even though Su Rao felt a pang of pity, she still cautiously asked, "May I ask what his relationship is to you?"
Yan Zhi took several seconds to calm herself before slowly saying, "She is... the person I love most."
Su Rao suddenly felt a lot of sympathy for Yan Zhi. At such a young age, the person she loved had died. How sad she must be. Her usual smiles were probably just forced. The two of them were about the same age and didn't have any deep-seated hatred for each other. Considering how pitiful Secretary Yan was, she would definitely not make things difficult for Secretary Yan in the future. Thinking about it this way, Su Rao was really beautiful inside and out!
Before Su Rao could think any further, the door to the president's office opened, and President Leng stood imposingly in the doorway, calling out to her, "Secretary Su, come in for a moment. You don't need to close the door."
Su Rao shuddered, as if struck by lightning. She stiffly printed out the report and ran into the president's office with the still-warm document in her arms.
After Su Rao entered the president's office, Yan Zhi also packed up her things and left work. As she left, her back view couldn't help but show a hint of sadness and loneliness.
Leng Linli stared intently at Yan Zhi's retreating figure until she disappeared from sight. He didn't even realize that his gaze was falling on Yan Zhi more and more frequently.
Su Rao walked into the president's office, only to find that President Leng ignored her. Upon closer inspection, she realized that President Leng was actually in a daze!
Good heavens, even her family's CEO, who values every second, is wasting his life by daydreaming.
This is absolutely shocking!!!
"President? President...?" Su Rao leaned forward slightly, tentatively calling her boss.
"Hmm." Leng Linli snapped back to reality, and when he looked at Su Rao, his gaze was far from kind.
Emma, that look startled her! Su Rao felt as if she had done something wrong...
Su Rao presented the financial statements with a fawning tone: "President, I have compiled the financial statements for the past ten years."
"So fast?" Leng Linli revealed a hint of disbelief, probably not expecting Su Rao to be so quick.
Su Rao smiled inwardly. Not to mention her CEO hadn't expected it, even she herself hadn't thought of it. Who could have imagined this? If it weren't for Yan Zhi's help, Su Rao might not have been able to finish it even if she stayed up all night.
Recalling Yan Zhi's tearful expression just now, Su Rao felt a slight pang in her heart and, for the first time ever, told the truth: "Actually, it was all thanks to Secretary Yan's help that I was able to finish so quickly."
Su Rao remembered how much credit she had taken from Yan Zhi in the past, so she decided to return it to Yan Zhi this time.
Leng Linli's eyes flickered, clearly not expecting Yan Zhi to have this ability. He also seemed to have seen her cry just now. Had she suffered some injustice?
Leng Linli was somewhat aware of the undercurrents among the secretaries in the president's office, and as long as things didn't go too far, he could turn a blind eye.
Could it be that Su Rao bullied him to the point of making him cry?
Hmph! How dare you!
Even his cold and stern demeanor hadn't made Yan Zhi cry, yet Su Rao dared to make her cry—she was truly audacious!
Leng Linli's gaze toward Su Rao instantly sharpened and turned colder, as if he wanted to tear her to pieces: "Secretary Su, I know that secretaries sometimes have academic exchanges with each other, but remember to keep things within bounds."
The air pressure around her suddenly dropped. Even though Su Rao was standing in the bright CEO's office, she felt as if she were in an ice cellar, chilly and cold.
Academic exchange? How to maintain appropriate boundaries?
Su Rao was stunned at first and didn't react.
After a sudden realization, I felt a sense of unease... So what if it's all backstabbing and intrigue? And Mr. Leng put it so elegantly...
Could it be that when President Leng came out, he happened to see Yan Zhi crying, and since only Su Rao and Yan Zhi were there at the time, President Leng assumed that Su Rao had bullied Yan Zhi and made her cry? (ΩДΩ)
