Chapter 53 Who on the road is as handsome as me?
Li Mai was stunned for a moment.
This is Rongzheng. Zhou Songyan has plenty of secretaries and assistants; why would he need her to make coffee?
Secretary Sun is hilarious!
Ji Wangyu said with a forced smile, "Secretary Sun, does Rongzheng have no one else? Come and order my secretary around."
Sun Yuanjie said calmly, "Yes, we are indeed short-staffed today. Please ask Secretary Li for help."
"Secretary Li, I'll take you to the break room."
Li Mai really wanted to say: If you have the skill to lead people, you should make it yourself.
But Sun Yuanjie was, after all, Rongzheng's chief secretary, and with a group of people watching, she couldn't say that, as it would make her seem temperamental and unwilling to even make a cup of coffee.
After all, the Ji family was still counting on Rongzheng to make money.
Li Mai glanced at Ji Wangyu, but he didn't say anything. Only then did she stand up and say, "Secretary Sun, let's go."
Ji Wangyu squinted at Zhou Songyan.
Zhou Songyan sat down with a group of subordinates, as cold as ice.
Sun Yuanjie led Li Mai to the tea room: "Secretary Li, this is the coffee machine."
Li Mai will use it.
Sun Yuanjie looked at the iced Americano she was making.
He smiled and said, "Our CEO Zhou only drinks iced Americano, regardless of whether it's summer or winter."
Li Mai paused for a moment: "Really? I didn't expect I did the right thing."
Sun Yuanjie found it funny.
The two were exes, and they were very close, but Secretary Li was still pretending to be close to him.
However, he did not expose it.
"Secretary Li, let's go back, the meeting is about to start."
"good."
Upon arriving at the conference room, Li Mai intended to hand the coffee to Sun Yuanjie so that he could give it to Zhou Songyan.
As soon as Sun Yuanjie turned his head, he sat down next to Zhou Songyan and waved to her, "Secretary Li, over here!"
Li Mai met Zhou Songyan's probing gaze, as well as the strange looks from everyone in the conference room.
He steeled himself and walked toward Zhou Songyan with the coffee in his hand.
She stood next to Zhou Songyan and placed the coffee in front of him.
"Mr. Zhou, your coffee."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
It doesn't feel good to be the center of attention.
"Wait a minute," Zhou Songyan's deep, sexy voice rang out.
Li Mai turned around stiffly: "Is there anything else you need, Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Songyan smiled and said, "Thank you, Secretary Li!"
Li Mai: "..."
She gave an awkward laugh and quickly left.
Next to Ji Wangyu is a representative of Fang's Company.
"President Ji, your company's secretary is really amazing! Next time, I'll bring a pretty female secretary with me so she can serve tea and water to President Zhou."
Some people mocked him: "Give me a break. Do you think he'd accept it just because a woman serves him tea and water? What are you thinking?"
"When have you ever seen President Zhou smile at a woman?"
"No, but he just spoke with..."
He smiled at Secretary Li.
"Mr. Ji, who is your secretary? She's amazing!"
Ji Wangyu's face was cold, and he remained silent.
Li Mai sat down behind Ji Wangyu, set up her laptop, and prepared to take notes.
Zhou Songyan picked up the cup of coffee, took a sip, and felt happy.
The meeting officially began.
Li Mai's gaze occasionally drifted past the crowd and landed on Zhou Songyan.
When he's working, he's a completely different person—serious, calm, sharp-tongued, and exuding the aura of someone in a superior position.
Those below held their breath and dared not slacken their efforts.
Li Mai couldn't help but sit up straight, afraid of being caught slacking off.
The meeting continued well into lunchtime.
Li Mai hadn't eaten much in the morning and was feeling a bit dizzy from hunger, so she raised her hand to rub her temples.
Zhou Songyan glanced over and interrupted the person who was presenting the PowerPoint presentation: "Go eat first, we'll continue at 2 PM."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They gradually left the office.
Sun Yuanjie: "Mr. Zhou, the meal your assistant ordered has arrived and is in your office."
...
Li Mai packed up her laptop and prepared to go downstairs for a light meal later.
She had been to Rongzheng Group a few times and knew there was a goose rice restaurant downstairs.
Ji Wangyu turned around: "Secretary Li, let's have lunch together later. I have a few questions for you."
“Okay.” Li Mai didn’t think much of it.
The two left the conference room together and were waiting for the elevator.
An employee from Rongzheng ran over: "President Ji, our President Zhou needs to speak with you."
"I'll let you go there now."
Ji Wangyu frowned.
Li Mai: "President Ji, you should go now. We can talk later while you're working."
Ji Wangyu had no choice but to leave with Rongzheng's men.
The elevator arrived, and Li Mai stepped inside and pressed the close button.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a large hand blocked them.
Li Mai recognized the owner of the hand almost immediately.
It's all too familiar.
Even though five years have passed.
The elevator doors opened, and Zhou Songyan walked in.
Li Mai instinctively took a step back.
Zhou Songyan turned around and pressed the close button.
It was past lunchtime, so not many people were going down. Li Mai was the last to come out, and at this point, only she and Zhou Songyan were in the elevator.
Zhou Songyan did not turn around, and Li Mai stared at him rather brazenly.
Zhou Songyan looks very handsome in a suit; he has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, a nine-head figure, and long legs.
In addition, there is his superior height.
Limed looked up at him.
Zhou Songyan suddenly turned around: "Does it look good?"
Li Mai was caught red-handed, and her porcelain-white face turned red.
In five years, not only Zhou Songyan became thick-skinned, but she did too.
"It looks pretty good."
Zhou Songyan was surprised by her honesty, smiled and walked up to her, the two of them standing a hand's width apart.
He looked down at the tip of her nose.
The sudden closeness made Li Mai's heart race and her nose turn red.
She retorted, "Don't overthink it. Everyone likes beautiful things. It's normal for me to take a second look when I see a handsome guy."
"If I see a handsome guy on the street, I'll stare at him for a while."
"Are any of the guys on the street as handsome as me?"
Li Mai rambled on: "Yeah, there are always mountains beyond mountains and skies beyond skies. Don't think you're the most handsome. I've seen people more handsome than you, and they would definitely be a huge hit if they entered the entertainment industry."
Although it's a bit shameful for men to compare looks, in his circle, people compare abilities and wealth.
But Zhou Songyan was still unhappy when Li Mai said that someone was more handsome than him.
His cold, white fingers pinched her chin, forcing her to look up at him.
"You're not allowed to look at other men from now on!"
Li Mai rolled her eyes: "You're so nosy! You might as well gouge my eyes out."
Zhou Songyan: "..."
The elevator doors opened.
Zhou Songyan put his arm around Li Mai's shoulder and pulled her out of the elevator.
Li Mai then realized she had arrived at the underground parking garage; she had clearly pressed the button for the first floor.
It must have been Zhou Songyan who turned it off for her.
She struggled for a moment: "Mr. Zhou, what are you going to do?"
Zhou Songyan didn't stop walking: "I'll take you to eat."
"No need, I'll eat downstairs."
"You make me coffee, and I'll treat you to dinner."
"No need, I'm not going."
...
In the end, Li Mai was still stuffed into the car by Zhou Songyan.
She was speechless.
Zhou Songyan is now acting like a scoundrel.
No matter how much she resisted, it was no use.
...
Guan Qing and her colleagues were walking back after finishing their meal when they suddenly saw Zhou Songyan's Bentley.
Li Mai was sitting in the passenger seat.
She stood there, stunned.
Zhou Songyan is having a meeting with people from several companies today regarding the Nancheng Resort project.
The Ji family was among them.
Has Li Mai come too?
She's not high enough rank to attend this kind of meeting.
"Guan Qing, come on, what are you looking at?"
Guan Qing glanced at the departing Bentley again, her eyes filled with malice.
