Chapter 421 From now on, you are just a secretary
"Mr. Yan?" Meeting Yan Nuo's shocked gaze, the man's expression remained calm, a faint smile appearing on his weathered face.
"Uh, yeah, it's me. You're Secretary Jing?" Yan Nuo's mind wavered, unsure whether she should continue staring at him. It was polite to look someone in the eye when talking to them, but what if they only had one eye? Would it seem abrupt if she stared at him without blinking?
"Yes, I'm Secretary Jing." The man smiled. "This is our first meeting. After much thought, I still think it's best to show you my true self. If you don't like it, I'll put on the blindfold."
Yan Nuo quickly shook his head and said, "That's all. Please sit down."
Yan Nuo pulled out the chair next to him, and the man walked over and sat down. After the waiter left, they were the only two left in the box. Yan Nuo got straight to the point, "Secretary Jing, why do you only have one eye?"
Secretary Jing: "My right eye was blown away in an explosion. I was only sixteen years old at the time and was saved by Mr. Yan, your father. He took me to Jinghai and provided me with material support. I successfully completed my studies. After graduation, I joined Mr. Yan's jewelry company and worked as his secretary. Mr. Yan didn't want people to know that he was the boss of the jewelry company, so I usually handled many of the business. After Mr. Yan passed away, I thought I would be able to meet you soon, but you seemed to have concerns and didn't show up. By the way, Miss, my full name is Jingdong."
Yan Nuo explained awkwardly, "Uncle Dong, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you and my father had this kind of relationship. I was afraid that if I met you, you would take advantage of my young age and bully me. I was in a very difficult situation at the time, so I didn't want to take the risk of losing the only company my father left me."
"You don't have to explain this to me. My job is to take care of Mr. Yan's company. As for the rest, whatever decision you make is your own choice. There's no need to feel guilty."
Yan Nuo curled his lips, "Then I won't be polite with you. Uncle Dong, I plan to move the company to Jinghai, and I've already chosen the company address. It's in the Yueta International Financial Building, a Grade A office building near the Fuhuang Group Building. The whole building is mine now."
Jingdong opened his eyes wide, "What? You bought the whole building? How much does that cost? A building on the same lot as the Fuhuang Group's, it must be incredibly expensive. Miss, our company doesn't have that much money."
Yan Nuo chuckled, "We don't have much money now, but I'm lucky. The current president of Fuhuang Group happens to be my husband. Yueta Building also belongs to Fuhuang Group, so he gave it to me."
"You don't have much money, and you still... um? Miss, the president of Fuhuang Group is yours... The building was given to you by your husband?! Oh, this is really great. Miss, you are not only talented in jewelry design, but also charming. I heard that the president of Fuhuang Group is the eldest son of the Fu family. He has never been close to women since he was a child and is very alternative." Jingdong felt like he was on a roller coaster. He thought it would be difficult for Yan Nuo to live alone in Jinghai all these years. Unexpectedly, the girl was so hardworking that she not only completed her studies, but also found herself a very great backer, the Fuhuang Group. With this big mountain supporting her from behind, he was not afraid of anyone when the jewelry company moved to Jinghai.
"Uncle Dong, those are just rumors. My husband is a very nice person, but he's very cautious when it comes to making friends. He doesn't treat people well easily. I'll ask him to come out for dinner with you someday so you can get to know each other."
Jingdong smiled and nodded, his smile widening from ear to ear. After a while, he couldn't hold it back any longer and gave Yan Nuo a thumbs up. "Miss, although clinging to someone powerful sounds a bit unpromising, in this society, having someone powerful to cling to makes you feel very safe."
Yan Nuo laughed heartily, "Uncle Dong, so you are this kind of Uncle Dong!"
Jingdong scratched his head. "I usually act serious outside just to act like a boss. Actually, I still want to be a real secretary."
Yan Nuo understood that Uncle Dong had no career ambitions. When he joined his father's company after graduation, he must have wanted to work under his father's wings and live a peaceful life. Unexpectedly, his father entrusted him with an important task and made him shoulder the entire burden.
"Uncle Dong, thank you for your persistence over the years. Now, give me back the burden. From today on, you will just be my secretary." Yan Nuo said seriously.
Jingdong's face was full of joy.
