Chapter 20: Good work should be praised
Yu Huan was nervous for a long time as she returned home with the bag that was worth half a year's salary. Finally, she decided to tell Meng Han the truth.
The next day, I put the bag on Meng Han's desk and received his puzzled look.
"Boss Meng, Director Wang asked me out yesterday. He said he had something important to discuss with me. I thought it was about work, so I went."
"Unexpectedly, she gave me this. This is a bag from H. It's very expensive, over 100,000 yuan."
After saying the price, she looked up at Meng Han. Meng Han's expression did not change, and he gestured for her to continue.
"She wanted to ask me about your hobbies and personal affairs. Of course, I rejected her very decisively at that time!" When Yu Huan said this, his tone became a little heavier in order to prove that his attitude was really firm at that time.
"But... she left so quickly that I couldn't return the bag."
"Although this bag is truly expensive, I certainly wouldn't betray my professional ethics just for a bag. I will never betray you under any temptation, so I can only ask you what to do with this bag."
After hearing this, Meng Han glanced at her and then looked away.
"Got it, put it here."
There was no further expression after that.
Yu Huan felt a little regretful for not getting the praise he deserved, and stood in front of the desk, feeling embarrassed and motionless.
Meng Han looked up from his busy schedule and saw that she was still standing there. He asked, "Anything else?"
Yu Huan lowered his head and said weakly, "No."
"If you don't have any, get out."
"Okay, Mr. Meng..." His tone lacked the usual energy.
Although he did not receive any praise, Yu Huan still firmly adhered to his principles and decisively rejected every temptation.
Since bags couldn't tempt Yu Huan, some people gave her jewelry, all kinds of things, and some even gave her cash directly.
She returned everything she could, and the items she couldn't return appeared on Meng Han's desk the next day intact.
It also needs to be accompanied by her innocent eyes to prove her innocence and loyalty.
Once, twice, three times... Meng Han ignored her gaze every time, as if what was placed on the table was not her loyalty, but just an ordinary report.
Until the most recent time, her gaze was so conspicuous that it was hard to ignore it, and Meng Han finally looked at her.
"Secretary Yu."
Yu Huan was secretly delighted, thinking that the praise he had been waiting for for a long time was finally coming.
"What's wrong, Mr. Meng?"
"Do you have a dog at home?"
Um?
Yu Huan was stunned. What kind of weird question was this?
"No..."
Meng Han nodded to show that he understood, then withdrew his gaze.
Yu Huan was looking forward to it, but now he heard this sentence, feeling aggrieved.
Meng Han raised her head at this time, and her drooping eyebrows immediately raised.
As expected, important things are always said last.
She was secretly looking forward to it.
"Get out."
Yu Huan: “…Okay.”
Expectations were dashed, and the moment he turned around, his face drooped, listless and dejected.
Behind her, Meng Han looked at her back and raised his lips slightly.
Dejected, He Xiaowei returned to his workstation. He glanced at her and saw that she looked like wilted grass. "What's wrong? You look listless."
Yu Huan sighed softly, "Nothing, I just feel that our President Meng is really cold and indifferent."
He Xiaowei laughed out loud, "Isn't this something everyone knows? Are you only finding out now?"
Yu Huan shook his head. "I used to think he only had a cold face, but his heart should be warm. But now I feel like his heart is ice-cold."
He Xiaowei was now curious. "Tell me, how did our President Meng hurt you with his cold heart?"
Yu Huan felt sad when she mentioned this. She said angrily, "Do you know how much temptation I had to resist before I returned those things?"
He Xiaowei nodded, indicating that he knew and had the same experience as her.
"You know, for such a loyal employee, even if there's no actual reward, there should at least be some verbal reward, right? Boss Meng didn't even give me a single word of praise. It's really heartbreaking!"
He Xiaowei disagreed with this point. Meng Han's praise was never just out loud, but in the monthly salary, the bonuses during festivals, and the benefits that made others envious.
He was about to speak up for his boss and long-time friend when he caught sight of a figure standing behind Yu Huan.
With a light cough, he turned back and sat down.
Yu Huan was still muttering, "Encouragement and education are very important, and the same goes for treating employees well! Those who do well should be praised!"
"Secretary Yu."
The moment the familiar voice sounded behind him, Yu Huan's body trembled subconsciously, his brain completely shut down, and all his reactions were entirely due to the muscle habits of his body.
She turned to look at Meng Han, her usual smile on her face, which was crisp and clear.
"exist!"
"Get ready and come with me in ten minutes."
"Okay, Mr. Meng."
After Meng Han finished his instructions, he went into the office, leaving Yu Huan trembling with fear, packing his bag while muttering to himself.
"What should I do? Mr. Meng won't be angry, right?"
After saying that, she looked at He Xiaowei with a complaint, "Why don't you tell me that Mr. Meng is behind me every time?"
He Xiaowei chuckled at the side, "Don't say that, last time I almost had a cramp in my eyes and you didn't react. Don't worry, although Mr. Meng doesn't like to praise people, he is not that stingy."
He Xiaowei's comfort was of no use at all. When Yu Huan followed Meng Han into the elevator, he didn't dare to breathe.
There were only the two of them in the elevator at this time, and Meng Han's aura was more obvious. If aura had substance, the entire elevator would probably be packed by now.
Would an apology now make up for her mistake of speaking ill of her boss behind his back?
"Secretary Yu."
The clear voice echoed in the narrow elevator, and like a built-in reverberation, it made Yu Huan's heart tremble.
I was about to apologize when I heard that voice again.
"You've been doing well lately."
The voice, slightly lower than usual and with a slight magnetism, fell into Yu Huan's ears.
It felt a little itchy, and she unconsciously reached out and rubbed her ear.
She looked up and saw Meng Han behind her through the mirrored wall of the elevator. He looked normal, his eyes looking straight ahead without looking at her. He seemed calm and not to be praising her, but to be stating a fact.
"Thank you...thank you, Mr. Meng."
Yu Huan withdrew his gaze, but he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Meng Han's gaze dropped to her in the mirror, taking in her secretly delighted expression.
And the earlobe that turned slightly red after being rubbed.
The image of a puppy wagging its tail happily after being praised comes to mind.
Quite similar to her.
The elevator door opened, and Meng Han walked past Yu Huan and said, "You're right."
Yu Huan looked up at Meng Han. He was a head taller than her. At such a close distance, she had to tilt her head back to see his expression.
Meng Han didn't look at her, walked past her, and left a light sentence.
"Well done, you really should be praised."
