Chapter 5 Chapter 5 If You Can't Do It, Get Out
Yu Wan collected her wandering thoughts, took her food tray, and looked for a seat with Lai Yanxu.
Lai Yanxu saw Zhao Yushu and was about to pull Yu Wan over when he heard their discussion.
"Yu Wan is a true overnight success. She's not as pretty as Zhao Yushu, and not as educated as Zhang Nianwei. I don't understand why President Fu chose her. Could it be that the selection criteria is based on who is the dumbest? Then she's definitely the undisputed number one."
The group of people burst into laughter.
Song Chuchu waited until they finished laughing before saying, "Yu Wan is not that kind of person. She must have something special to be chosen."
Someone curled their lips, "I know you and Yu Wan are good friends, but don't lie to me. Everyone knows that Yu Wan has the lowest academic qualifications in our administration department. She only has an ordinary undergraduate degree from the local Hai City University. How do you think she got into Fu's? Maybe she slept her way into the internship position in the administration department. After all, although she looks ordinary, she has fair skin and a nice figure. Some old men just like that."
Lai Yanxu frowned and was about to speak when Yu Wan pulled him back and silenced him.
Yu Wan took her to sit at another long table, which was separated from them by a supporting column. It was a blind spot where they could hear the discussion but not be seen.
Yu Wan opened the lunch box and took out her spoon and chopsticks when she heard a sound from next door.
Someone asked Zhao Yushu, "Zhao Yushu, what's wrong with you? You've been so absent-minded since the interview. Could it be that Mr. Fu scared you? Mr. Fu is so cruel."
"Song Chuchu, tell me, is Mr. Fu scary?"
Song Chuchu thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, Mr. Fu is not that scary."
"Then why weren't you chosen? I remember you were from Xinhai University, a 211 university. Why did they choose Yu Wan? You and Yu Wan get along well. Does she have any special talents?"
Song Chuchu hesitated for a while, "Actually, I don't get along very well with her."
"That's true, but if you ask me, even if Yu Wan gets into the CEO's office, she'll just be a small secretary serving tea and water. She won't be able to do anything big. If she gets eliminated, won't others still have a chance?" The intern teased, "So, friends, don't give up too soon."
Soon, the topic at the next table turned to other places. Lai Yanxu kept an eye on Yu Wan's expression, but Yu Wan looked so calm that she felt a little restless.
Lai Yanxu asked, "Yu Wan, aren't you sad at all when they say that about you?"
Yu Wan ate her meal calmly, "I'm sad, so I need to eat a few more mouthfuls of rice."
Lai Yanxu didn't expect Yu Wan to give this answer. He laughed out loud and his attitude towards Yu Wan was not as distant as before.
The two of them ate and chatted, and soon Yu Wan learned about the growth background and family experience of this talkative girl.
A native of Hai City, a typical fair, rich and beautiful girl, she went abroad to study at university after finishing high school and graduated from the University of Edinburgh. After graduation, she went home to lie down for a year and was then pushed into the administrative department of Fu Group by her parents through connections. If her parents had not withheld her living expenses, she would not have come to eat in the company cafeteria.
It is worth mentioning that the other party was the one who said quite reasonably during the first discussion about the big boss, "No one can stand it unless they are born masochists."
After dinner, Yu Wan returned to the president's office. As soon as she sat down, she saw a missed call on her landline phone, which was from twenty minutes ago.
The person who called was the big boss in the president's office.
Yu Wan quickly stood up and knocked on the boss's office door.
"Enter."
Yu Wan pushed the door open and walked in. "Boss, I just finished lunch and saw your call when I returned to the office. Sorry, do you have any instructions?"
This was the second time Yu Wan met the big boss today. Yu Wan could clearly sense that the big boss had a bad look on his face. His black brows were furrowed tightly, as if he could pinch a mosquito to death. His eyes were gloomy, as if if she said one more word, he would immediately kill her on the beach with a big wave.
Can't hear it, still can't hear it.
Yu Wan was no more than three meters away from him, but he still couldn't hear Yu Wan's thoughts. The irritability mixed with the hunger from not having eaten made Fu Zhiyao slam the documents in his hand heavily on the desk.
Yu Wan was startled.
"You still remember to eat! I thought Secretary Yu was a tough guy who only needed to breathe air to survive. But now, Secretary Yu knows what lunchtime means and what it means to eat!!"
"Didn't Assistant Lin tell you what a secretary is? Didn't he tell you the scope of a secretary's job? Didn't he tell you who the CEO is during the company's orientation? Don't you know who your immediate boss is?"
"It's lunchtime, and you're so cool, just patting your butt and going to eat. But where's your brain? Did you throw it down the drain to feed the rats? Your education is not as good as others, so are you also lacking in the ability to read people's expressions?!"
Yu Wan's throat was choked by these words, and she couldn't utter a word. She lowered her head and apologized, "...I'm sorry, boss. I'll order food for you now. Please wait a moment."
"Wait a moment? How long do you mean by 'wait a moment'? Which restaurant did you order from? Do you know my dietary restrictions and allergies? Secretary Yu, you're being too arbitrary. Or do you think this secretarial job is a piece of cake and you think you've secured the position? The probation period is one month. If you don't perform well, get out. From now on, no company under the Fu Group will hire you. Never."
Never hired.
This sentence was like a thunder, striking Yu Wan's brain fiercely.
Yu Wan gritted her teeth to suppress her trembling, her eyes reddening as she apologized again, "I'm sorry, boss. I'll ask Special Assistant Lin right away and have the meal delivered to your office within thirty minutes."
"go out."
Yu Wan bowed again, turned around and pushed open the office door.
She returned to the president's office, picked up her cell phone, took the elevator downstairs, and called Assistant Lin on the way to explain her purpose.
Special Assistant Lin knew from Yu Wan's tone that she must have been scolded by President Fu. He felt a little apologetic and said, "I'm sorry, Yu Wan. I didn't think it through. I thought President Fu would tell you. Wait a minute, I'll send you a list of the restaurants President Fu often eats at and their dietary restrictions. You can follow them. The delivery times are marked on them, so you can order in advance. President Fu sometimes works overtime, so remember to ask him in advance to adjust the delivery time."
Yu Wan thanked him and didn't hesitate. She opened the file and found that the delivery time of the restaurant closest to the company was half an hour, even if she ordered in advance.
From the perspective of time, it was completely impossible to make it in time. Yu Wan glanced at the time on her phone, made a plan in her mind, and started running frantically after getting out of the elevator. She first went to a convenience store to buy an exquisite multi-layer lunch box, and then ran to a nearby stir-fry restaurant and asked the boss to fry three dishes and put them in the lunch box.
There were not many people in the stir-fry restaurant at this time, and there was only one chef in the kitchen, grunting and waving his spatula.
Yu Wan glanced at the time, feeling increasingly anxious. "Master, can you fry it faster? Can you finish it in five minutes?"
The master wore a mask and said, "Five minutes? Girl, you're not that anxious even if you want your life."
Seeing Yu Wan's anxious eyes red, the chef said casually: "If you are really anxious, come in and fry it yourself. We have two pots in the kitchen."
It was just a joke, but the next second, the master saw Yu Wan walk in with his sleeves rolled up, "Hey, hey, hey, why did you really come in!"
Yu Wan had wiped away her tears, calmly put on her apron, turned on the stove to heat the pan, poured in oil, and poured the chopped vegetables on the chopping board into the pan and stir-fried them. Seeing her smooth movements, the chef did not try to persuade her any further.
It's hard for a girl like her to lift such a big pot.
After cooking the three dishes, Yu Wan also made a simple tomato and egg soup, cleaned the lunch box, and put the dishes in it.
In order to prevent the soup from spilling, Yu Wan walked as fast as possible. When she arrived at the office, her chest was heaving. She tried to calm her rapid breathing, knocked on the door and went in.
"Sorry, boss, the food has already been bought. I will help you set the table now."
Fu Zhiyao looked at the time. It was exactly thirty minutes.
Fu Zhiyao stood up and sat on the sofa. Yu Wan had already taken out the lunch boxes and arranged them in order on the coffee table. They were all simple home-cooked dishes. Although they were not made of expensive ingredients, the dishes were beautiful and bright in color. As soon as they were opened, a rich aroma came to his nose, which was the unique aroma of stir-fry.
Three dishes: corn and shrimp, garlic lettuce, stir-fried beef with spring bamboo shoots, and a bowl of tomato and egg soup.
There were no spicy dishes that left a strong taste in the mouth after eating, and even the portions were just right.
Fu Zhiyao looked at him without saying anything. Yu Wan's heart was pounding, and she resisted the urge to lick her lips. "...Boss, can you please see if there are any other dishes you'd like to eat? I can go get some more."
"Which store did you buy it from?"
Yu Wan answered truthfully, "It's about 500 meters from the office, at 'Lao Hu's Stir-fry'. Don't worry, boss. I went into the kitchen and it was very clean. The boss was wearing a mask while cooking. Since the fastest order would take at least 30 minutes, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to make it, so I chose the stir-fry restaurant closest to the office."
Fu Zhiyao looked up at Yu Wan. Her tied hair became loose, and a few strands slipped out from her ears. The temperature in March was not high, but Yu Wan's forehead was actually sweating, and a few soft hairs were stuck to her forehead. Her eyes were a little red, as if they had been rubbed hard, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.
Looking down again, Fu Zhiyao frowned. He saw a few oil stains on Yu Wan's shirt and thought of what Yu Wan said about the clean kitchen.
As expected, some of the dishes here were cooked by Yu Wan.
"Get out."
This time the voice was softer than before. Yu Wan breathed a sigh of relief and placed the mint-flavored portable mouthwash and mint disinfectant wipes in Fu Zhiyao's hands. "Boss, call me when you're done. I'll come in and clean up right away."
"Um."
Yu Wan turned around, took a few steps, then turned back and bowed to Fu Zhiyao, saying sincerely, "Boss, I'm really sorry this time. It was my fault for forgetting to order you food. There won't be a next time. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your secretary. Thank you."
Maybe the intern was right. With her education and abilities, she was not the best candidate for secretary. However, the boss chose her anyway. No matter what the reason was, she could not take this job for granted. She had to work hard and change.
Fu Zhiyao had just put a mouthful of tender beef into his mouth when he heard Yu Wan's heartfelt words. Before he could say anything, he saw Yu Wan walking out of the office with firm steps.
Fu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows and continued eating.
Counting the time, he hasn't eaten home-cooked dishes for nearly a month. The last time he had one was when he had it with his grandmother and sister before going abroad for business.
I just returned home yesterday and haven’t had time to go back to my old house to see my grandma and others.
On weekdays in the company, the meals ordered for him by Special Assistant Lin were all Western style, simple and exquisite, with few foods with strong carbohydrates and oily fumes. He ate them, but he didn't feel full at all, as if he hadn't eaten at all, and his stomach was still cold.
Maybe he was really hungry, so Fu Zhiyao had almost finished his meal with three dishes and a soup.
Now looking at this rough gray stainless steel lunch box, it didn't seem so unpleasant anymore. After eating, I lay lazily on the sofa for a while, looking up to the side.
Through the grayish one-way viewing glass, one can clearly see half of Yu Wan's head, a pair of slightly drooping eyes and a fairly straight nose. Her skin is very white, and there are a few strands of hair on the top of her head that stick up and sway with her movements, which looks a bit funny.
Yu Wan stopped what he was doing at this moment and looked towards the office.
Fu Zhiyao subconsciously looked away, realizing that Yu Wan couldn't see the scene in the office at all. He sneered, stood up, and walked to Yu Wan with his long legs.
Through a layer of glass, Fu Zhiyao saw Yu Wan's clean and tidy desk. He glanced again and saw that Yu Wan was concentrating on taking notes.
The notes contain the following information about him:
The boss avoids eating: onions, ginger, and garlic, but he doesn't dislike food seasoned with onions, ginger, and garlic. He avoids vegetables with too much plant fiber because they are difficult to swallow, and he doesn't like food with a strong vinegar taste...
Several restaurants that the boss often eats at: ...
Restaurant delivery time: ...
What kind of coffee does the boss like to drink, and when is the best time to drink it: ...
Fu Zhiyao looked at him, his eyes fading a little. He knocked on the glass, and Yu Wan immediately stood up and asked tentatively, "Boss?"
Immediately afterwards, the phone on the table rang, and the voice of the big devil rang out: "I'm done eating, come in and clean up."
Yu Wan: “…”
Just make a call, why are you knocking on the glass for no reason?
Yu Wan closed her notebook, stood up, knocked on the door, and walked into the office. "Boss, I'll clean up the table."
Fu Zhiyao had already rinsed his mouth with mint mouthwash at the sink and was sitting in his boss chair, slowly wiping his fingers with a mint-flavored disinfectant wipe.
Watching the secretary busy packing up the lunch boxes, Fu Zhiyao felt for the first time that the world was really quiet.
Perhaps, it is normal not to be able to hear people's inner voices. Perhaps, choosing Yu Wan as secretary is not a bad thing.
The well-fed and satisfied Demon King Fu thought so.
