Chapter 8: The Vain Male Wife of the Domineering Boss
In order to avoid affecting his sleep quality tonight, Mingyao deliberately thought about his recent project before going to bed, but this deliberate act did not seem to fulfill his intention and instead made the result go against his wishes.
After waking up, Mingyao still remembered those misty yet soft eyes, which carried a subtle temptation, as if there was a peek-into the perfect dream world, which continuously exuded a heart-pounding sense of incongruity. His intuition whispered of danger, but he still couldn't resist the desire to get closer.
Mingyao reflected on whether he allowed Lin Zhi to get too close to him, which led to this feeling of entanglement between them. But when he thought about it carefully, he found that Lin Zhi did not take the initiative to get too close to him. When he didn't want to see her, he couldn't see her.
If Lin Zhi got too close to him during work, he would keep her away.
However, Mingyao discovered that at work, even after becoming his assistant, Lin Zhi seemed to be practicing the principle of "staying away from him".
On the first day of work, Lin Zhi was in the secretariat outside the office handling the work he assigned to him. He didn't see Lin Zhi the whole day. Not to mention coming in to deliver documents or pour coffee, even Lin Zhi's own work documents had to be delivered to his office by other secretaries.
After he got off work, the young man who offered to give him a ride had already disappeared behind his desk and was nowhere to be seen.
Mingyao looked at the empty seats, then looked at the others and asked, "Where are they?"
The special assistant replied in a low voice, "He said that the work you assigned to him had been completed, so he left at the end of his shift."
The company does not have a strict overtime requirement. As long as the work is completed, you can go home. But because the boss is a workaholic, the entire secretariat voluntarily works overtime. After all, the overtime pay is not cheap. But in theory, once the work is completed, you can go home on time.
Colleagues in the secretariat didn't know who this beautiful secretary who suddenly showed up was, so they didn't dare to say much when he was leaving get off work.
Mingyao thought about the perfect document submitted by Lin Zhi, said nothing, and went back to the office to work overtime.
She was clearly the same person last night, asking him if he wanted to give it a try. She said that she wanted to take his car home from get off work every day and act like Mrs. Ming, but today she was nowhere to be seen.
Mingyao looked at the plan on the computer, and the coldness between his brows unconsciously deepened.
Lin Zhi, who had just got off work, was now looking at dogs in a pet store, stopping in front of these little cuties to choose from.
01 Somewhat puzzled: [Host, are we just leaving like this? We haven’t seen the target of the mission today. 】
01 thinks that this is such a good opportunity, and being a personal secretary can create a lot of private space. In the end, the host didn’t go in once today. Isn’t it a waste of the opportunity to become a secretary?
Lin Zhi touched the puppy's head through the cage and answered with curved eyes: [For some people, the farther you are away from them, the closer you are to them. 】
01 A bit dizzy: [It’s a bit confusing and I don’t understand. 】
[Retreat to advance, just watch quietly.] 】
Lin Zhi didn't explain too much, his eyes fell on the Samoyed, known as the 'smiling angel'. The little white ball was cute and adorable.
There should be a balance in doing anything. Being too close will only make people feel annoyed.
Someone like Mingyao, who has a strong sense of territory and is vigilant, would not like the feeling of having his life completely invaded by others. He can only take it slow. At this time, it would be best to avoid them. Of course, he cannot completely lose his sense of presence. Everything he does leaves his mark.
01Although I was confused, I thought about the host's style of doing things and believed that there must be a reason for this, so I didn't ask any more questions.
"Which one the customer chooses, this is a litter, and they all have good personalities. The eldest and the middle are more lively, while the youngest is slower and quieter, but can also act like a spoiled child."
The young store manager stood by and introduced this litter of Samoyeds to Lin Zhi, with a gentle expression when talking about the little animals.
Lin Zhi thought about Mingyao's personality and chose the most lively one.
The store manager opened the cage, took out the most lively eldest child, and touched the tip of its ear.
"This dog is called Nuonuo. Customers can change its name at any time. After a while, it will get familiar with its new name. We will launch a new event in a few days. There is a chance to get a VIP season card of our store. Whether it is a bath, vaccination, or some dog supplies, there will be discounts. Some can even be given away for free. Would you like to add contact information first?"
The manager placed Nuonuo on the table at the front desk and looked at Lin Zhi.
The glass in the store reflected Lin Zhi's profile, her eyebrows and eyes were so beautiful that people couldn't help but be mesmerized.
The pet doctor next to him opened his eyes wide unconsciously when he heard this. When were they going to do the activity? Also give away season passes?
As a comprehensive pet hospital and a pet shop with breeding qualifications, their prices are never cheap.
Lin Zhi exchanged contact information with the store manager without any objection and touched the little Samoyed's furry head. The little Samoyed wagged its tail happily, looking particularly adorable.
After paying, Lin Zhi said, "It's a bit inconvenient recently. I'll come pick it up in a few days."
The store manager nodded, holding Nuonuo and waving at Lin Zhi with his dog paws.
As soon as Lin Zhi walked out of the pet shop, he received a message from the manager on his mobile phone. The manager introduced himself as Guan Yi. Before he came to take the dog away, he would send him a video of the dog every day so that he could see the condition of his pet.
After choosing the dog, Lin Zhi did not discuss the matter with Mingyao immediately, but went to work as usual.
Unlike the superficial work assigned to him on the first day, the workload on the second day increased significantly.
Even when Mingyao left the office to attend a meeting or an event, Lin Zhi never looked up at him and left work on time after finishing her work.
For several days in a row, Mingyao hardly spoke to Lin Zhi.
He could call Lin Zhi into the office to discuss the work he was handling, but Lin Zhi had done it very clearly and there was no need to ask more questions. Moreover, since Lin Zhi didn't talk to him, there was no need for him to communicate with him deliberately.
Not to mention work, even in Mingyao's daily life these days, he hasn't felt any trace of Lin Zhi.
If Mingyao hadn't checked the surveillance cameras at home and found that Lin Zhi had indeed returned home, he would have thought that he had never come back.
The old man called him and said, "Zhizhi came to have dinner with me yesterday and said she learned a lot from you. What do you think?"
The old man didn't expect Mingyao to transfer Lin Zhi directly to his side. It seems that the two children get along well.
Mingyao's fingertips touched the edge of the folder and he whispered, "Not bad."
The old man smiled and said, "That's good. Zhizhi is our family after all. We should keep the wealth within our family."
After hanging up the phone, Mingyao pursed her lips and dialed the secretariat's number.
While Lin Zhi was handling his work, he was getting to know the structure of the huge Ming Group in depth, and saw Gao, the special assistant beside Ming Yao, coming to him.
"The boss asked you to accompany him to the banquet tonight."
Assistant Gao naturally knew that the person in front of him was the boss's wife, so he spoke very politely.
"knew."
Lin Zhi nodded with a smile on her face.
Everything went as planned, and it was worth it for him to go see the old man yesterday.
If Mingyao is still patient, he may have to do something else. Fortunately, Mingyao knows his value.
Special Assistant Gao went to report the matter. Mingyao wanted to ask him whether Lin Zhi was willing, but after thinking about it, he did not ask and watched the special assistant leave.
At the banquet, everyone was obviously curious about the handsome male companion beside Mingyao. Even after Mingyao said he was his secretary, these people's enthusiasm did not diminish.
Ming Yao always gives people the impression that he is difficult to approach, and the special assistant he used to have was also the serious type. Now that a beautiful and kind secretary who seems easy to talk to has come, they naturally gravitate towards him.
Among them were people who knew Lin Zhi and had talked with Lin Zhi. They thought that Lin Zhi's identity was indeed different. After a while, they came to work for Mingyao, and their reminiscences and greetings became more and more enthusiastic.
Mingyao looked at the young man beside him who was talking and laughing, thinking about the way he asked him for a high-end suit before he came. He had a subtle feeling that only he knew this man's true nature.
Naturally, people from Hesheng also attended the banquet. Mingyao looked at Qiu Qingrong, who was drinking wine and reminiscing about the past with Lin Zhi, and said calmly, "I heard that your company is researching new extracts?"
Since Mingyao had already spoken, Qiu Qingrong naturally had to take over.
Although they are of similar age, Ming Yao is already the one in charge of the Ming family, while Qiu Qingrong is only the person in charge of Hesheng, and his father is still at the helm of the Qiu family's ship.
Lin Zhi went to the bathroom during the break and ran into Qiu Qingrong when she came out.
"Last time I said I wanted to invite Mr. Lin to taste wine, but I couldn't find a suitable time. I wonder if Mr. Lin is free tomorrow?"
Lin Zhi said apologetically: "I'm afraid I can't tomorrow. I have to accompany my lover."
"Are you married?"
Qiu Qingrong was a little surprised and looked at Lin Zhi's fingers which had no decorations on them.
Lin Zhi smiled faintly and nodded without further explanation.
On the way back after the show, Ming Yao suddenly asked, "Are you familiar with Qiu Qingrong?"
"We know each other. He asked me out for a drink and I told him I had to accompany my husband tomorrow," Lin Zhi propped up her head and looked at Ming Yao, saying lazily, "It's not really a lie. After all, I still have to work for you tomorrow."
Mingyao didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.
He unconsciously relaxed his body and leaned back in the wheelchair, thinking that Lin Zhi should be like this. There was no need to talk too much with competitors, let alone make private appointments for drinks.
