Chapter 86 Secretary Shen
The group returned to the company. Lin Yi'an was visiting Zhou Mingshi's office for the first time and curiously took a look around.
Zhou Mingshi instructed Secretary Shen: "Make a cup of black tea for Madam, and bring over some snacks and fruit."
Secretary Shen responded and left.
Zhou Mingshi then looked at Lin Yi'an and said softly, "I still have some things to discuss with them. Why don't you wait here for a while?"
Lin Yi'an: "Go ahead and do your work, I'll keep myself occupied."
Zhou Mingshi then pointed to the bookshelf: "You can read any of the books here."
Lin Yi'an: "Mm."
Zhou Mingshi: "If you're sleepy, you can go to the rest room inside."
Lin Yi'an nudged him: "They're waiting for you, hurry up and go."
Zhou Mingshi touched her face before turning to leave. Outside the door, he met Secretary Shen, who was carrying snacks and fruit. He instructed her, "Take good care of Madam."
Secretary Shen should be right.
Lin Yi'an was looking at her phone, with Ye Lingzhi beside her.
Secretary Shen entered and said, "Madam, please have some tea."
After saying that, he looked at Ye Lingzhi and said, "Assistant Ye, here's your tea."
Ye Lingzhi was surprised that someone had even brewed tea for her, and said in astonishment, "Secretary Shen, you're too kind."
Secretary Shen smiled slightly: "Of course."
After Secretary Shen left, Ye Lingzhi asked Lin Yi'an, "Sister Yi'an, is he trying to please me?"
Lin Yi'an smiled and said, "Because he made you tea?"
Ye Lingzhi nodded: "I think so. He must think that by pleasing me, he is pleasing you, and he is pleasing President Zhou."
Although her words were difficult to pronounce, the meaning was easy to understand. Lin Yi'an said, "You're not that easy to please."
Hearing this, Ye Lingzhi was pleased and stated her position: "I am your assistant, of course I will listen to you. His attempts to please me are useless."
Lin Yi'an picked up her teacup and took a small sip: "Although you are not easy to please, as long as he does this, others will notice and their impression of him will improve, and he won't be useless."
Ye Lingzhi thought about it and realized that he hadn't forgotten about her, his assistant, when he was making tea, which showed that he respected Sister Yi'an very much. Even if he couldn't please her, he would at least leave a good impression on them.
She said, "That's really clever."
Lin Yi'an chuckled: "If you're not shrewd and tactful, and don't have any tricks up your sleeve, you can't become Zhou Mingshi's secretary at such a young age."
Ye Lingzhi added, "Compared to him, Assistant Chen seems rather honest."
Lin Yi-an: "The two have different job natures, so the workplace skills they need are naturally different. Assistant Chen only needs to deal with Zhou Mingshi and his family, while Secretary Shen not only has to deal with Zhou Mingshi, but also with the company's employees and partners. Being too honest won't work."
Ye Lingzhi nodded: "Do what you are capable of, shine in the place that suits you. I just need to be a good assistant to Sister Yi'an."
Lin Yi'an: "You've already done very well."
Ye Lingzhi: "Assistant Chen is very capable, I have to work hard to keep him from surpassing me."
Lin Yi-an: "Zhou Mingshi and I have different jobs, so you don't need to compare yourself to him."
Ye Lingzhi hummed in agreement.
In the afternoon, Zhou Kanghui came to the company. After signing the share transfer agreement, Lin Yi'an was about to leave when Zhou Mingshi stopped her.
"After seeing Mr. Chen and Beller off, we'll go home together."
Lin Yi'an looked at him: "Are you done with your work?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Hmm."
Belair approached, his Mandarin relatively standard: "Mingshi, I've heard from you Chinese that people in your country are hospitable, and when they entertain guests from afar, they do so at home. I don't want to stay in a hotel; I'd like to go to your home..."
Zhou Mingshi said calmly, "Chinese people are hospitable, so I booked the best hotel in the capital for you."
"It's not that I prefer entertaining guests at home..." Beryl said.
Zhou Mingshi said, "The fact that hotels are everywhere shows that not everyone likes to entertain guests at home."
Belair: "Okay."
The group went downstairs together, and Zhou Mingshi asked Secretary Shen to take them to the hotel.
The two returned to Lanting Yazhu together.
Two days later, Assistant Chen returned from Changping. It happened to be Friday, and the couple were at their old house.
As soon as he arrived at the old house, he couldn't help but report to Zhou Mingshi: "That Li Dongsheng and his boss have been arrested."
Zhou Mingshi: "Tell me the specific details."
Assistant Chen lowered his voice: "Li Dongsheng's two mistresses caused a scene. One of them was the ex-girlfriend of Secretary Zuo's classmate. She brought a group of people to the other mistress's house and smashed it up. They found a lot of gold bars in the cabinet. Some of the onlookers who knew something about the situation were photographed..."
Zhou Mingshi nodded: "After driving all this way, let's go and rest after we've eaten."
Assistant Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not tired."
Zhou Mingshi: "Even if you're not tired, go and rest."
Assistant Chen: "Okay."
Just as he finished speaking, a commotion arose outside. Zhou Mingshi frowned upon hearing the familiar voices and asked, "Aren't they divorced? What are they arguing about?"
Lin Yi'an: "I'll go take a look."
Zhou Mingshi stopped her from interfering and gently pressed her shoulder: "Go back to your room and rest, I'll go check on things."
Lin Yi'an: "Then I'll go wash up?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Go."
Zhou Mingshi stepped out and saw Sun Yurong grabbing his father's hand, crying and shouting, "Zhou Kanghui, are you even human? Even if we're divorced, my son and daughter are still here. What's wrong with me staying here for a few days? Why are you so eager to kick me out?"
Zhou Kanghui impatiently pushed her away: "It's not that I insist you move out immediately, it's that Mingyuan came to me and said that you argue with his wife every day. His wife is pregnant and can't get angry, but you don't have any consideration and start arguing as soon as you want. He's having a hard time and asked me to tell you to move out quickly. If you want to make trouble, go make trouble with Mingyuan. Why are you making trouble with me?"
Sun Yurong stepped forward to scratch him: "It's all your fault. If you gave me a villa, would I not move out?"
Zhou Kanghui: "I only have a few villas. Each of my siblings owns one. If I give them to you, what will they get?"
At this point, he glanced at Mingyuan and his wife, along with Zhou Jia, who had followed him, and asked, "When your eldest brother and sister got married, I allocated each of them a villa. I still have three villas, one for Mingshi and one for each of you. If you don't mind, I can give your villas to your mother..."
Sun Yurong looked at her son and daughter and quickly said, "My things will be yours in the future, they are just under my name for now."
Zhou Jia instinctively didn't want to agree, so she looked at Zhou Mingyuan, who pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Dad..." Zhou Jia called out reluctantly.
Zhou Kanghui: "You can't blame me for this. Blame it on your mother for being incompetent and greedy. Anyway, I will give you what I can give you, and there's no use in forcing it if I can't give it to you."
