However, something even worse was yet to come. After the meeting, Xu Shi quickly found her alone.
"Um?"
Upon hearing his request, Ye Shanshan's eyes twitched involuntarily. "Chairman Xu means... that I should temporarily serve as your secretary?"
"Yes, but as I said, it's temporary."
Xu Shi looked helpless. "I'm different from Qingyan. She's very independent, but without Su Lin, I can't do many things well... I hope Miss Ye can help me out and hold on until she comes back."
I don't believe you!
Ye Shanshan secretly rolled her eyes. The map has finally been unfolded, huh?
If it weren't for what happened before, she might have thought this was a reasonable request.
But after experiencing Jiang Chengcheng's initial show of force, she knew that the situation was probably much the same as she had imagined!
That guy's petty! If you actually agree, things will definitely turn out badly!
However, Xu Shi shut her down with a single sentence: "Please rest assured, Miss Ye, it won't affect your normal work... If you have any concerns, I'll personally speak to Chairman Xie."
That makes sense.
The project leader doesn't need to be personally involved all the time. If it were Su Lin, she wouldn't say that taking care of Xu Shi would delay other aspects of her work.
As for whether Xie Qingyan will agree... right now, the two groups have just started their cooperation and are in their honeymoon period, so it's unlikely she would refuse such a small request.
As expected, after personally speaking with Xie Qingyan, the other party readily agreed.
"Chairman Xu, you'd better learn to be independent soon."
The fiancée said half-jokingly, "But lending her to you for a few days isn't a problem... It won't be too long, right? Don't try to steal her away from me."
"How could that be? It will only take a few days. Thank you very much for your understanding, Chairman Xie."
The moment the call ended, the gleam in Ye Shanshan's eyes was clearly fading as quickly as an old lady grabbing eggs at the morning market.
Oh my god, this is bad.
The curly-haired guy is going numb, isn't this your real intention?!
Things aren't that simple... but she had no choice. She could manage to negotiate with Xu Shi's demands, but if Xie Qingyan spoke up personally, she couldn't go against his wishes.
It can't be said that it's because of the previous misunderstanding with someone surnamed Xu—she hadn't told Xie Qingyan about this, and now she can't bring it up.
At this critical juncture, speaking out would be detrimental to unity.
"Does Miss Ye have any other questions?"
Xu Shi turned off the bracelet and looked at her with a smile.
"...There was no problem to begin with, thank you for thinking so highly of me, Chairman Xu."
Ye Shanshan could only force a professional smile and reply.
"That's good."
Xu Shi clasped his hands together lightly. "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. I'll give you an extra salary before Su Lin comes back."
This isn't about wages at all!
Ye Shanshan complained bitterly, showing no joy whatsoever at the prospect of a raise.
Just then, she heard Xu Shi change his tone and laugh with an ambiguous expression.
"Speaking of which, Miss Ye, do you remember what I told you before?"
What did she say... Ye Shanshan pursed her lips. If she had to recall anything, she could only recall two sentences.
For example, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with a lot of things later, thank you for your help."
still……
“If you were my employee, I would sew your mouth shut.”
Alas!
Unpleasant memories flooded back, and Little Curly couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
"...Haha, just kidding, that was just something I said in anger, how could I actually do that?"
Xu Shi smiled and waved his hand, "However, I'll really have to trouble Miss Ye during this time."
"Hahaha……"
Ye Shanshan gave an awkward laugh. "Definitely, definitely. I will do my best for you, just like I did for Chairman Xie."
But she was already feeling uneasy. The more Xu laughed, the more uneasy she felt.
However, I doubt he would actually do that...
-----------------
As it turns out, Ms. Ye Shanshan's worries seemed somewhat unnecessary.
No matter what, Xu Shi could never actually sew her mouth shut—at least in the past few days, the workplace 80s she had anticipated hadn't happened.
On the contrary, the work at "Snake Ring" was much easier than that at "Prism".
The main difference is that she is more casual. Compared to Xie Qingyan, Xu Shi is not as meticulous and is more relaxed in her dealings with people.
Anyway, Ye Shanshan didn't feel any pressure. If she was late or left early, the other party didn't seem to blame her at all, acting like a kind and approachable boss.
Of course, this is also because there are some things she cannot actually access, such as some corporate secrets outside of the cooperation.
I already said she's just a meal replacement; the real work has to be done by Miss Su Lin.
In this atmosphere, Curly Hair didn't seem to harbor any resentment; instead, she appeared to be worrying unnecessarily.
Instead, she realized Xie Qingyan's meaning—maybe Chairman Xie wanted to use this opportunity to let her try to obtain some secrets of the "Snake Ring"?
Even if she didn't say it outright, she definitely had that thought in mind. This engaged couple was probably a million cunning people combined... Ye Shanshan knew this perfectly well, but since she couldn't meet him, she wouldn't force it.
This is just icing on the cake. If it's not completed, Chairman Xie can't say anything. On the contrary, she herself has to be careful not to give Xu Shi any reason to criticize her.
Let's just be honest and hold out until Su Lin comes back.
