Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Flattery doesn't work on me...
After settling the rent issue, Yu Wan was not in a hurry to move.
The contract she signed with her landlord, Mr. Chen, who lives in Singapore, was to start in May, but the landlord handed her the keys early and asked her to change the locks herself. However, Mr. Chen did not reimburse her for the money.
While waiting for the surveillance installers to install the surveillance outside the door, Yu Wan took the opportunity to carefully check the interior of the house. Although the house had not been lived in for several years, all the electrical equipment was running smoothly and did not need to be replaced. There was no hidden camera that Yu Wan was worried about.
As for the study, Yu Wan simply glanced around without flipping through the books inside.
To her surprise, Mr. Chen actually allowed her to browse the books in the study. To this, Mr. Chen replied that since they had signed the contract, it was natural for him to trust the tenant.
Based on this sentence alone, Yu Wan felt that Mr. Chen was not at all the picky landlord that Mr. Ling described him as. How could he be so generous as to reimburse for repairs and damages and even allow tenants to look through the study?
In short, Yu Wan still followed the contract and chose an auspicious day at the end of April to move. She invited friends to celebrate in the new house and completed a formal and lively housewarming ceremony.
Yu Wan lived in a house on the twelfth floor. Through the living room window, she could see a tall purple-flowered Paulownia tree downstairs. The trumpet-shaped flowers clustered on the branches, blooming beautifully. The fragrance of the flowers occasionally drifted into the house, as if celebrating her successful move.
When the paulownia flowers gradually fall and the green leaves sprout and unfold, it means that spring is over and summer is coming.
Yu Wan completed her graduation thesis defense amidst the busy work in the president's office and welcomed the graduation ceremony. With a pink collared gown and golden tassels, Yu Wan went from being a college student to a standard nine-to-five office worker.
Of the six interns who had originally joined the administrative department with her, only two remained, Lai Yanxu and Zhang Jianwei, except for her who joined the president's office.
What shocked her the most was Song Chuchu, who took the initiative to resign when she was transferred to the logistics department, apparently because she was dissatisfied with the personnel arrangement.
When Song Chuchu left the company, Yu Wan even suspected that it was his own butterfly effect that caused the deviation in the plot, but later Yu Wan learned that the order to transfer Song Chuchu to logistics was issued by the boss.
It was the boss who personally cut the red line with Song Chuchu, making everything move in an unknown direction.
However, Yu Wan did not have much time to be shocked. After Tingcai was acquired, Yu Wan was assigned by the boss to follow up on the conception and implementation of the short drama project.
As a result, Yu Wan became even busier.
As the number of field trips increased, the time spent in the company decreased. Fu Zhiyao hadn't seen Yu Wan for two weeks in a row. The only thing left was the three meals a day delivered by Sun Ning at the front desk.
That morning, Fu Zhiyao arrived at the office and sat there for nearly ten minutes before Sun Ning brought in breakfast.
Sun Ning carried the breakfast bag, trembling with fear. Under the watchful eyes of the big boss, he took out the latte and bread from the breakfast bag and placed them in order.
Help! Help! Help! If Yuwan hadn't been luring me with treats, I wouldn't have wanted to come to Mr. Fu's office to deliver three meals. This is simply too terrible!
-[Has the air around me been deprived? Is Mr. Fu a demon king who can cast spells? I'm suffocating! How on earth is Yu Wan supposed to breathe under the gaze of the great demon king?!]
Fu Zhiyao coughed.
Sun Ning's hand shook, and the sandwich in his hand fell directly onto the table, rolling to Fu Zhiyao's hand.
Sun Ning: “!!!”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fu!"
Sun Ning quickly apologized, picked up the sandwich with trembling hands and put it back.
-[Help, help! Thankfully, today is the last time, otherwise I'd go crazy, Yu Wan! Come back soon! I can't handle this alone! Come back soon! Bring back my thoughts!]
Fu Zhiyao: “…”
He rubbed his temples and said, "Go out."
After receiving the order, Sun Ning hurried out of the office, trembling with fear, as if a monster was chasing her.
Fu Zhiyao got up and went to the bathroom to look in the mirror. He looked left and right and raised his eyebrows. He was dressed perfectly today without any flaws. The curve of his lips was straight and he was in a normal mood. Why did he look like a big devil?
If I remember correctly, Sun Ning has been working at the front desk for almost three years, and his performance is not as good as Yu Wan's.
At least when Yu Wan saw him for the first time, she dared to stare at him without any fear at all.
Fu Zhiyao returned to his desk and sat down. He picked up his latte and took a sip. Then, Yu Wan sent him a message on his phone.
Secretary Yu: [Boss, I'm back at the office after lunch today. I'm almost done with Tingcai's project, so I'll hand the rest over to President Fan. I'll send you the project report before 10 a.m. tomorrow. Is there anything else I need your attention?]
Fu Zhiyao lowered his eyes and his slender fingers fell on the phone screen.
After a moment, Yu Wan, who was far away outside the company, received a reply.
Boss: [Go back to the company early.]
-
Monday was the monthly routine high-level meeting. Yu Wan took his notebook and recorder to the meeting room in advance. After checking the meeting room, he sat in a small corner waiting for the meeting to start.
Fu Zhiyao walked into the conference room and saw Yu Wan sitting in the corner. He frowned and asked, "Is there not enough space at the conference table for you?"
Yu Wan was stunned for a few seconds, then quietly moved the chair to the seat next to Fu Zhiyao, and placed the computer, notebook and recorder on the table in order.
"Okay, boss."
In this way, Yu Wan and Fu Zhiyao were only separated by a corner of the table, and Fu Zhiyao could see Yu Wan without turning his head.
Fu Zhiyao coughed twice unnaturally and flipped through the documents in front of him to divert his attention.
"Are the documents for the report ready?"
"Boss, do you have a cold?"
The two said in unison.
Fu Zhiyao paused, "No."
Yu Wan nodded and answered her boss's question: "The report is ready, but it's my first time presenting, so I'm still a little nervous."
"You've been out with the project for two weeks, and you haven't become more courageous?"
Yu Wan recalled the flattering words of Xingyue Hotel Manager He and put her knowledge into practice, answering in a clear voice, "I mainly provided ideas, and continued to improve them with the advice of my colleagues in the project team. As for the final report, I believe it still needs your guidance to make it more perfect."
Fu Zhiyao: “…”
Fu Zhiyao's eyes twitched, and he raised his eyelids to look at her: "Secretary Yu, flattery won't work on me. If your report is not good, you will still be scolded."
Yu Wan awkwardly withdrew her gaze and said "Oh" without much confidence.
Could it be that her flattery was too low-level? But when Manager He said it last time, she thought it was particularly impressive.
Yu Wan couldn't understand, so she simply gave up thinking about it. She lowered her head and flipped through the report documents she would be giving soon, not daring to slack off for a moment. She wasn't afraid of her boss criticizing her, but her 120,000 yuan bonus hadn't been paid yet, so she couldn't afford to be fired.
Fu Zhiyao flipped through the documents in his hand with a smile on his lips. When he realized that he had flipped through the documents, he slowly turned back to the page. The smile on his lips did not fade for a long time.
The meeting went on time.
Fu Zhiyao sat leisurely in the first seat, listening to each department explain the progress of recent work projects and the next work plan.
The Investment Department reported on the follow-up work progress of the video APP acquisition.
The Finance Department reported on several projects that exceeded the budget and the revenue status for the month.
The Human Resources Department reports on important personnel transfers and professional title evaluation matters.
The technical department reports on innovative R&D projects and budgets.
It’s Guan Yanxuan’s turn from the marketing department.
He stood up and said, "The revenue of New York Hehong Wine has reached the amount you originally planned for, Mr. Fu. I have communicated with the manager of the winery. The wine storage is sufficient, the logistics and transportation chain is complete, and the losses during transportation are within a controllable range. Next, we plan to cooperate with Huitu Travel Agency to develop exclusive travel routes for the winery hotel and further develop..."
"Good. Please organize the data and give it to me later."
"OK."
Guan Yanxuan returned to his seat with the documents. After he finished his report, the next person was Yu Wan.
Of course, Yu Wan would not take a deep breath at this time. She just took the report document and walked to the projection screen with a calm and composed expression.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Wan from the President's Office. Next, I'll be reporting on Tingcai Short Video's post-acquisition short drama promotion project..."
Yu Wan was probably best at pretending to be calm. This was the case when she first met Fu Zhiyao, and it was the same now. As the project report progressed, Yu Wan's attitude became more relaxed. When the supervisor raised questions from the audience, she did not panic, but rationally put forward her own views and thanked the other party for their opinions.
When talking about the highlights of the project, the corners of his lips would unconsciously bend slightly, and his voice would rise a degree.
Guan Yanxuan sat in the audience, his eyes always following Yu Wan's movements.
Who would have known that such a young girl, who had only graduated for two months, would not be an exaggeration to say that she has three years of work experience.
But at first I couldn’t see it.
Guan Yanxuan withdrew his gaze in self-mockery, and inadvertently glanced at Fu Zhiyao who was sitting in the main seat. Fu Zhiyao's gaze fell on Yu Wan, and there was appreciation and satisfaction in his eyes that he himself had not noticed.
Guan Yanxuan lowered his eyes, suppressing the gloomy emotions in his eyes.
After the meeting, the executives present felt relieved.
I don’t know if it’s their illusion, but the boss seems to lose his temper less and less recently. Occasionally, you can see him smiling at the plan, which is a miracle. The executives want to go to the temple for team building and burn incense, praying that the boss will be in this state every day.
But in contrast to this is Secretary Yu Wan.
Compared to before she became a regular employee, Yu Wan had more work to do, more meetings to attend, and more documents, big and small, to review. Her boss even gave her the initial review of emails.
In order to improve efficiency, Yu Wan organized the emails into a unified table according to time and name. In this way, Fu Zhiyao could know the important content of the email without opening it. Emails that usually took more than an hour to read could now be processed in less than half an hour.
Fu Zhiyao was amazed at the secretary's clever mind, so he naturally assigned more work to Yu Wan, and even the content of the work gradually became more important.
Yu Wan didn't dare to make any mistakes, so she was forced to start her journey of working overtime as a social animal.
As an employee, Yu Wan really doesn't want to work overtime, but working overtime not only allows him to enjoy the boss's luxurious dinner but also overtime pay. Moreover, Jiayuan Community is not far from the company, and taxi fares can be reimbursed at night without having to squeeze into the subway. Therefore, Yu Wan is not opposed to working overtime.
It’s just a pity that the instant coffee in the tea room needs to be restocked every few days.
Secretary Cai knew that she loved drinking coffee, and somehow she got the administrative department to arrange a separate coffee machine for the president's office, and taught Yu Wan how to use it.
Ever since getting a coffee machine, Yu Wan no longer went to the tea room to get instant coffee. Every day when he came to the company, the first thing he did was to enthusiastically try making latte art in the president's office and enthusiastically share it with Secretary Cai and Secretary Shang.
Secretary Shang was no older than a young man in his twenties. After drinking a cup of coffee, he couldn't sleep until the early hours of the next morning. He declined the coffee that Yu Wan enthusiastically brewed. As for Secretary Cai, he always liked sweet drinks, but after reluctantly drinking a few, he started complaining about work injuries. Yu Wan bought him milk tea for several days in a row to save his wounded heart.
Lai Yanxu and Sun Ning both firmly refused coffee, and they both said the same thing:
No donkey would buy a mill for itself to work.
Therefore, half a month after buying the coffee machine, Yu Wan's skills still remained at the beginner's level. Half a month later, he still couldn't make latte art, and could only barely mix the hot milk and coffee liquid.
That night, as usual, she was working overtime. Fu Zhiyao called her over, "Secretary Yu, I heard from Secretary Cai that you can make coffee? Make me a cup and let me try it."
Yu Wan: “…”
Seeing Yu Wan standing still, Fu Zhiyao raised an eyebrow: "Is there a problem?"
Yu Wan quickly shook her head: "No problem."
She would rather her boss see the coffee she brings and think it's okay.
After a while, Yu Wan walked into the office with a tray and placed the coffee on Fu Zhiyao's desk. Fu Zhiyao took a quick glance and was almost shocked by her ugliness.
"...Secretary Yu, what the hell did you poop in my coffee cup? A corgi butt?"
Yu Wan: “…”
This is too humiliating.
Yu Wan tried her best to pull Fu Zhiyao back to his senses and tried to explain, "Boss, this is actually love, even though it's a little bulgy and a little flat in shape."
She didn't want to, but she took a little too long to froth the milk, and the foam became a little rough, so it ended up like this. She had done her best.
Fu Zhiyao: “…”
Seeing the boss's look was not right, Yu Wan hurriedly said, "Boss, how about I pour you another cup, the kind without latte art? It might taste better if it's stirred well."
"Never mind, no thanks, just this one."
The tone is helpless.
Yu Wan knew the time and went out.
After the office door was closed, Fu Zhiyao picked up the coffee and took a sip. Just like Yu Wan's style, the coffee was at the right temperature, not too hot to the mouth, and it was not clear whether it tasted good or not.
Fu Zhiyao felt that it was normal.
He took another sip, and the bulging "Corgi butt" rubbed against the corner of his lips, and the rough milk foam burst, making him feel itchy.
Fu Zhiyao pulled out a tissue to wipe his lips. After a while, he stood up again and walked to Yu Wan.
Taking advantage of the fact that Yu Wan couldn't see her, she watched Yu Wan lower his head and carefully handle the documents.
Next to her hand was the familiar notebook, which had been almost filled with her writing, and the edges were bulging like steamed cakes. Yu Wan took out a new notebook and kept it aside as a backup.
The spare notebook was still in the trash box he threw to Yu Wan last time. The logo of Fu Company was printed at the bottom of the black notebook.
After not looking for long, Yu Wan took out her phone to reply to her friend's message. Fu Zhiyao tilted his head slightly and looked away.
Turning around again, he saw Yu Wan happily shaking his shoulders and head, occasionally stretching his arms to relax his muscles. He didn't know what happy thing had happened to him.
Suddenly, Yu Wan raised his eyes and looked towards his office through the single layer of viewing glass. His gaze was not focused on him, but his heartstrings inexplicably tightened and his whole body felt uncomfortable as if it was frozen.
Realizing this, Fu Zhiyao turned decisively and walked towards his desk, drowning his thoughts in the multitude of work.
