Chapter 204 Director's Secretary
Hong Siyu's day starts in the kitchen filled with the aroma of coffee.
After working for many years, a cup of coffee in the morning has become her daily habit. No matter how sleepy she is when she gets up from bed, as long as she smells the familiar smell coming from the coffee machine, she will feel more energetic.
It was still early, and the sky outside the window was still a little dark, but the first ray of sunlight had already penetrated the clouds, coating the floor of this single apartment with a thin layer of golden light. Hong Siyu was humming a song while busying himself with his breakfast.
Remove the pot from the heat, turn off the fire, and wipe the stove.
Wash the cup, dispense the liquid, and brew the coffee.
After a skillful operation, boiled eggs, vegetable porridge and coffee were already placed on the small round table next to the stove. This was Hongsi's breakfast today.
After finishing the food on the table slowly, Hong Siyu began to change her clothes. When she changed into her professional clothes and walked to the mirror in the bathroom, subconsciously wanting to put on makeup, her entire movement stopped as her eyes met the mirror.
In the mirror, the girl who looked extremely young, as if she was still a high school student, was looking at her.
No, this is who I was as a high school student.
Thinking of this, Hong Siyu raised the corners of her mouth and wanted to laugh out loud, but she had already laughed many days ago. The self-control that an adult should have prevented her from losing her composure. Instead, she coughed a few times calmly.
A few days ago, with the completion of her treatment at Emerald, she was finally able to return to her normal life. And the most important thing about returning to normal life is of course to continue working.
However, Hong Siyu did not return to the Strategy Bureau with her original identity. She now re-joined the company with a subtle identity as "Hong Siyu's niece", and her first job after joining the company was also very simple - secretary to the director.
Thanks to the identity of "his niece" and the assignment from the country, the others in the Strategy Bureau just thought it was another parachuting, and didn't think it had anything to do with Lin Yun. Otherwise, if they had hired such a secretary who looked underage, Lin Yun would probably be looked at differently by everyone in the bureau.
In fact, even now, many people doubt the relationship between Lin Yun and the new secretary.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Hong Siyu, and no one can stop her now.
Arriving at the Strategy Bureau early, Hong Siyu went alone to the director's office, which was still empty. He wiped the table, sorted out documents, poured hot water, watered the plants... He performed all the work very well.
By the time she finished all her chores, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, and the office building, which had been somewhat quiet, began to be filled with noisy sounds.
This is also the time when Lin Yun usually arrives at work. Hong Siyu has figured out the pattern in just a few days and has accurately timed it at this point.
Standing by the window, she looked at her image again in the reflection of the window glass, making sure her hairstyle was not messy and her clothes were still neat. Then she sat down with satisfaction, staring at the office door with bright eyes.
She was waiting for the door to be opened, and as soon as the person behind the door walked in, she would go up and take credit.
You know, the clothes she wore today were the ones she had chosen with Lin Yun before; and although the makeup on her face was very light, it was the best solution to suit her temperament; although her hair looked very natural, it was also specially straightened and styled at the beauty salon yesterday, in order to create an absolutely eye-catching image of a "literary beauty in the workplace".
All the elements are carefully selected, and every angle is finely customized, based on her mature aesthetics developed through years of hard work in society, and her careful study of Lin Yun's preferences... Combined with the fact that when she walks on the road in the morning, the rate of passers-by turning their heads almost 100%, she is extremely confident about her current look. This is the clarion call she uses to launch her attack.
Come on, senior.
She muttered to herself.
This blazing belief seemed to penetrate the door and infected heaven. Not long after, she saw the office door being pushed open.
A figure in a suit walked in.
"Good morning, senior."
She immediately put on a long-rehearsed smile, holding the documents she had just picked up in her hand, and her outstretched hand and body posture were just right: "Have you had breakfast? If you don't mind, how about we go together...eh?"
Halfway through his words, Hong Siyucai suddenly noticed that the person who walked in from outside seemed to be wrong.
Although she was wearing a suit, it was obviously a woman who walked in. She was tall, with fair skin, and wore sunglasses. Her orange hair was quite eye-catching, but now it was all tied into a bun at the back of her head, making her look very heroic at first glance.
A stranger? A guest? No... He looks familiar...
Hong Siyu looked at the woman's face, her mind working frantically, constantly trying to find an identity that matched the other party from her memory. Unfortunately, before she could come up with an answer, the woman in front of her suddenly spoke:
——"95 points."
But what she said was just a short string of numbers.
"95 points?"
His thoughts were pulled into two parallel lines for a moment. With his brain slightly overloaded, Hong Siyu could only repeat what the other person said: "Excuse me...what does this mean?"
"Charm, seduction, or cuteness, in short, that's how I rate your performance just now."
The orange-haired woman supported her chin with one hand and spoke to Hong Siyu.
Although she was wearing a pair of sunglasses, Hong Siyu could feel that the other person was looking at her from head to toe. Not only that, his gaze even lingered for a moment on several parts of her body where she had obviously put a lot of effort into dressing up, making her feel as if she was completely seen through.
This made her feel a little uncomfortable, so she subconsciously hugged the documents in front of her with both hands and stepped back.
However, the woman in front of her didn't seem to be going to let her go. After Hong Siyu took two steps back, she followed closely and took two steps forward: "Do you know where the points will be deducted?"
"Deduct...deduct points?" Hong Siyu responded stutteringly.
"The point of deduction is that it's going in the wrong direction. Compared to this lively and enthusiastic invitation that pretends to be generous, the slightly shy and whispered invitation is more likely to evoke the other person's guilt."
The woman wiped her chin and said, "But this is nitpicking. Anyway, it is really cute! I like it very much! My lovely junior has made such preparations to welcome me, so it would be too much for me to not agree to your request!"
As she said this, she finally distanced herself from Hong Siyu, turned around, and pushed the half-open door aside: "Let's go, you lead the way, I don't know where the cafeteria is."
However, when she took two steps toward the door, she found that no one followed her.
"What's wrong?"
The woman turned around and asked in confusion: "Is there anything else you haven't finished?"
"No... I just want to ask, who are you?"
Hong Siyu tried hard to maintain a smile on her face: "Please don't make such jokes. If you have an appointment to meet the director, you can wait on the side..."
"Ah? Sister, you already called me 'senior', and now you're asking me who I am?"
The woman was also a little surprised and said, "Although you have never called me like that before... What's going on?"
"Before? Never shouted like that?"
The woman's words seemed to have pressed a switch, and the thoughts in her mind were connected like an electric current in an instant. Hong Siyu finally remembered why the person in front of her looked familiar, and who the other person with this strange way of speaking belonged to.
——"You...ah? Yuanxiang?"
It’s just that, compared to surprise, the feeling after recognizing each other is closer to shock.
