Chapter 61: Proximity
Suspicion flashed across Shen Qinghuan's eyes, and her brows furrowed slightly. What was she doing here so early in the morning? Even if she had come here specifically to find Jiang Yu, this shouldn't be the time. It's morning now...
Before she could come to her senses, Li Mingzhu had already walked up to her and greeted her with a smile: "Huanhuan, good morning!"
Shen Qinghuan has always kept public and private affairs separate, so naturally she wouldn't bring her emotions into work.
She moved her mouth slightly, and just as she was about to respond, she saw Assistant Gao approaching, "Xiao Shen, Miss Li is our new colleague in the General Assistant Office, replacing Cao Xinyi's job."
Shen Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of what happened yesterday. He suddenly understood why Cao Xinyi left.
She collected her thoughts, pretending to be nonchalant, and said softly, "Well, I understand, Assistant Gao. If there's nothing else, I'll go to Mr. Jiang first. Mr. Jiang wants to see me."
"Okay! You go and get busy first!" Gao Qian said with a smile.
Then he seemed to think of something and quickly added, "Xiao Shen, when you're not busy for a while, take Secretary Li with you."
Shen Qinghuan paused, turned around and smiled, "I understand."
After saying that, she walked away without even glancing at Li Mingzhu. However, she couldn't help but wonder why Li Mingzhu came to work at Jiang's? Moreover, Li Mingzhu even joined the General Assistant Office where she worked.
As she was thinking this, she had already walked to the door of the president's office, took a deep breath, and then reached out to knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Soon, a familiar voice came from inside.
Shen Qinghuan pushed the door open and walked in, a decent smile on her delicate face. She asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Boss Jiang, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Jiang Yu raised his eyelids and glanced at her lazily, "Come with me to inspect the construction site on the outskirts of the city later."
Shen Qinghuan was stunned, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Asking her to compensate him for inspecting the construction site? What was wrong with him? He had never done this before.
In fact, Shen Qinghuan had worked at Jiang's for so many years, but she had never been given any important position. She mostly did some work like serving tea and water. Jiang Yu never took her with him on any of his schedules, such as business trips or construction site inspections. He always took other people with him...
She thought so in her heart, lowered her eyes, and nodded calmly in agreement: "I understand, Mr. Jiang, if there is nothing else, I will go out and get busy."
Jiang Yu: "Yeah."
Shen Qinghuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
But she hadn't walked far when her steps unconsciously stopped. She hesitated, clenched her fingers, and then spread them out again, repeating this several times...
"Anything else?"
Before Shen Qinghuan could speak, Jiang Yu could already see that she was worried.
He leaned lazily back in his chair, and looked at Shen Qinghuan leisurely. His thin lips curled up slightly, and he said nonchalantly, "Why? Have you remembered what happened last night?"
Shen Qinghuan choked.
After a while, she gave up, said "Nothing", and strode towards the door.
Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly, his eyes dark and complicated.
As soon as Shen Qinghuan walked out, Gao Qian came in.
"Mr. Jiang, the new secretary who replaced Cao Xinyi has arrived. Should we let her in now?" Gao Qian asked respectfully.
Jiang Yu frowned slightly, seeming to be in a low mood.
He waved his hand, raised an eyebrow and said, "No need to come in to see me specially, just let her do whatever she needs to do."
Gao Qian: "I understand, Mr. Jiang."
When Li Mingzhu heard the result, she was filled with disappointment.
But soon, she felt relieved again.
Jiang Yu didn't know that the new secretary was her, so he naturally wouldn't rush to meet her. After all, he has always been a man with a strong sense of career ambition, so he naturally wouldn't take the ordinary personnel transfers of the General Assistant Office too seriously.
There are only a few employees in the General Assistant Office. Apart from Gao Qian, Shen Qinghuan is considered a veteran here.
As soon as she sat down at her workstation, Li Mingzhu walked over and greeted her with a gentle smile: "Huanhuan, I don't know much about this job yet. I hope you can give me more guidance in the future. I will work hard to learn."
Shen Qinghuan lowered his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth.
In fact, she knew very well that Li Mingzhu was just trying to disgust her, otherwise why would she come to work at the General Assistant Office! Li Mingzhu studied music and played the violin very well. It seems that she went abroad to study. The major she mastered had nothing to do with her current job.
It didn't even have anything to do with it, but she came in anyway.
Therefore, Shen Qinghuan had to doubt Li Mingzhu's purpose of joining Jiang's.
It's a pity that she is destined to be disappointed.
"Secretary Li, it's working hours now, so please don't use private terms." Shen Qinghuan curled the corners of her lips, a smile spreading in her eyes, but her tone was indifferent and distant, "As for your guidance..."
She paused deliberately and said apologetically, "I'm a little busy on weekdays, so I may not be able to teach you anything."
Li Mingzhu stood there in a daze, staring at Shen Qinghuan blankly, with a hint of red at the corners of her eyes. Her mood became visibly depressed, and she seemed a little flustered.
With red eyes, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call you Huanhuan. I just didn't change my mind for a moment. Assistant Shen, I promise you now that I will never call you the wrong name again next time."
Shen Qinghuan: "Well, it's good that you know. At work, you should focus on work and put other things aside."
Li Mingzhu lowered her eyes, nodded obediently and said, "I understand, Assistant Shen, I will definitely try my best to do my job well."
Shen Qinghuan said "hmm" without raising his head.
Suddenly remembering something, she put down her work and looked up at Li Mingzhu. "Secretary Li, you should know what kind of coffee Mr. Jiang likes, right? Bring Mr. Jiang a cup of coffee."
Li Mingzhu was delighted and nodded quickly in response: "I understand, Assistant Shen, then I will go now?"
Shen Qinghuan waved at her, indicating that she could go now.
She couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, like a delicate flower suddenly blooming on a branch. Li Mingzhu raised her red lips slightly and walked towards the tea room.
Song Cheng, who was not far away, took in the entire scene.
The new secretary, Li, knew Shen Qinghuan?! They even had an unpleasant experience.
He was curious, but didn't dare to ask a single question.
Shen Qinghuan didn't know what happened when Li Mingzhu went to bring coffee to Jiang Yu, but after Li Mingzhu came back, she couldn't hide the shyness in her eyes and eyebrows! She was obviously already in her thirties, but she still looked like a young girl in love.
She couldn't help but take another look.
She couldn't help but wonder what it was that Jiang Yu liked about her? Was it the fat on her chest? Or her curvy butt?
Shen Qinghuan couldn't help but stare at himself again.
In the end, she decided to work honestly. Jealousy can make people crazy, and she still prefers to make money.
Not long after, before Jiang Yu had even finished the cup of coffee Li Mingzhu had brought him, he had already appeared at the door of the General Assistant Office and shouted at Shen Qinghuan, "Assistant Shen, it's time for us to leave!"
Shen Qinghuan: "I know, right away!"
After packing up her things, she said hello to Song Cheng and hurriedly followed him.
After she walked a few steps, she remembered that she had forgotten to tell Li Mingzhu. After all, Gao Qian had asked her to take good care of Li Mingzhu. Shen Qinghuan said, "Secretary Li, if you encounter anything you don't understand at work, you can ask Xiao Song."
Li Mingzhu's face changed slightly, and she was choked to the point of being unable to speak.
"Don't worry, Sister Huan." Song Cheng responded with a smile.
After Shen Qinghuan walked away, he turned to look at Li Mingzhu and said, "Secretary Li, if you encounter anything you don't understand at work, you can ask me."
Li Mingzhu looked down on Song Cheng and naturally didn't want to pay attention to him.
She condescended to work here just to be close to the water tower, so why would she waste her time on other people!
Song Cheng didn't care about Li Mingzhu's indifference. He just asked calmly, "Secretary Li, do you and Sister Huan know each other?"
And it's very familiar.
Li Mingzhu's heart moved slightly. She turned her head and looked at Song Cheng with a sweet smile, but her eyes were full of scrutiny and inquiry.
"Why are you asking that?"
"Nothing! I was just curious about how you addressed Sister Huan before. If you weren't someone you knew well, you wouldn't address her like that."
Li Mingzhu lowered her eyes, sighed bitterly, and said, "I've known her for many years, but she has never really liked me. You should have seen her attitude towards me just now..."
Song Cheng's pupils shrank slightly, and suspicion flashed in his eyes.
Before he could say anything, Li Mingzhu continued helplessly, "She probably wouldn't be happy about me coming here to work, but I just returned to China and can't find a better job right now, so I have no choice but to come here first."
"Assistant Song, I see Huanhuan and you have a good relationship!"
Li Mingzhu changed the subject and shifted the topic to Song Cheng without leaving any trace.
"Have you two known each other for a long time? Huanhuan is good in every way, except for her temper..."
She hesitated to speak, deliberately whetting Song Cheng's appetite.
But what Li Mingzhu didn't know was that Song Cheng had already drawn the conclusion from her: Shen Qinghuan and Li Mingzhu knew each other and were familiar with each other, but their relationship was not good at all, and there was even a deep conflict between them...
But he didn't say it.
"Not long, I've only been here for a short time, but Sister Mingzhu... uh, you won't be angry if I call you like that, right?"
"Of course not!"
Li Mingzhu smiled, and a hidden light flashed in her eyes.
Song Cheng lowered his eyes, calmly hiding the sarcasm in his eyes, and continued, "Sister Mingzhu, you are so kind! From now on, we will be colleagues. Please take good care of me."
Li Mingzhu: "You should be the one taking care of me. After all, you came to the company before me!"
Song Cheng scratched the back of his head shyly, and said with a simple smile, "I've only been here for two months, and I haven't finished my internship yet." "Whether it's one month or two months, the point is that you came here before me."
"Well, alright then! If you need any help in the future, just tell me directly."
"Is that what you said?"
"Yeah, I said."
