Inside the president's office on the top floor of the Qingxian Group.
"Smack!"
He slammed the folder he was holding onto the table, his face turning black with anger.
Anne stood silently in front of the desk, her head hunched over, not daring to utter a sound.
"Am I spoiling you too much, or have you been so forgetful lately that you've completely forgotten your work tasks? You've packed all your schedules for tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that into today. Do you think I have three heads and six arms and can fly to several cities in one day?"
"I, I... Mr. President, please let me explain, I really didn't mean to..."
"Not on purpose? Fine, very well. Even if today's schedule wasn't a silly mistake you made on purpose, how are you going to explain today's morning meeting? You arranged the time yourself, and then you didn't show up. Everyone in the conference room was waiting for you, and you didn't even answer your phone. You've been the president's secretary for so long, have you gotten too bold? Are you planning to take my place?!"
"No, no, I would never think that way. President, I really know I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I promise there won't be a next time."
Last night, my boyfriend came back from his business trip, and we had a wonderful time together as a couple. But when I woke up, I completely forgot about everything important.
If she doesn't answer the phone, it's probably because it was too noisy around when she was queuing to buy breakfast for Xiaoruo and she didn't hear it, but she really didn't mean to.
Sigh, I finally got into Qingxian after so much effort, and finally gained the boss's trust after so many years. But I got too excited and ended up back to square one.
"Where did you go this morning? Gu Yao said he saw you leave early this morning when he was doing his morning exercise."
At this moment, Annie really wanted to strangle Gu Yao.
Just because Gu Yao lives in the same community as her and is her neighbor on the floor below, all her whereabouts have been exposed by him!
"I...I went to the hospital to see Xiaoruo, the little girl who threw herself on you, President, last night in Landi. She woke up, so I bought some food to go see her..." Annie's voice grew softer and softer, and she became less and less confident as she spoke.
Xuan Mingyu had no recollection of anything about the weak or strong, and his anger had not yet completely subsided.
"You have quite a lot of free time, don't you? You skip your own work and go visit other people. Who pays your salary, me or her?"
"No, I just... I felt sorry for her, so I..."
Before Annie could finish speaking, Xuan Mingyu interrupted her again.
"Fine, fine, you don't need to explain anymore. You pity her, don't you? Starting today, you don't need to come to the company anymore. I approve. Go back and rest as much as you want, for as long as you want. Also, your absence from the morning meetings is cancelled, and your year-end bonus is cancelled. Get out!"
"President, I..."
"If it weren't for Gu Yao's sake, you would have been fired from the company long ago! From now on, Gu Yao will take over your work. He'll call you back whenever he needs you. Get out!"
Anne pouted, not daring to say another word, and silently turned and left the office.
This is the legendary saying, "Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger."
well!
Don't be fooled by the boss's usual cold and aloof demeanor. He always has a stern face and doesn't like to talk to people. But when he really gets angry, no one can handle him.
"You got yelled at?"
Just as I reached the door, Gu Yao came over.
Standing at 1.85 meters tall, his extremely thin physique made his oval face stand out even more. With fair skin and delicate features, he exuded a handsome charm, and his naturally beautiful almond-shaped eyes were very captivating. If it weren't for his suit and tie, just looking at his face, he would look like a clean-cut young man, not a man over 25 years old at all.
However, in Annie's opinion, Gu Yao's face wasn't meant to attract girls; he looked exactly like a submissive bottom, a perfect match for the boss's icy demeanor.
"It's all because of you!" Annie rolled her eyes at Gu Yao, annoyed. "Now, I'm really unemployed, sigh, I feel like crying but I can't."
Annie walked to her desk, took out her box, and carefully packed her things into it.
"Don't be sad. I'll treat you to a big meal tonight to make up for your mistake, okay?"
"I don't want your fancy meal. You know how jealous my darling can be. Send me a big red envelope, and I'll mercifully forgive you."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say." Gu Yao took out his phone, ready to send Annie a red envelope.
As Annie packed her things, she sighed, "Sigh, Gu Yao, I'm only now realizing how envious I am of you."
"What do you envy about me?"
"Over the years, no matter how much the boss lashes out at everyone in the world, he only talks to you the most. He always speaks to you in a kind and gentle tone, never with a stern face. I'm telling you, do you and the boss really have some kind of affair?"
Gu Yao was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. He had to admit that Annie's imagination was far too rich.
It's true that I and Hsien Ming-yu have been good friends since childhood, but it's just a simple friendship, there's no question of any illicit affair.
“What are you thinking about all day? This is still the company. If someone hears this and it gets back to the president, you really won’t be coming back.”
Annie pouted, glanced around, and lowered her voice, "You and the boss are inseparable from morning till night. How can people not have wild thoughts? I've introduced so many girls to you over the years, but you never give them a chance to go on a date. I just think you're secretly in love with the boss, that's why you're not looking for a partner."
"Well, I can't just grab any girl and fall in love with her. You don't need to worry about my affairs. Let's go, I'll drive you home." Gu Yao picked up Annie's packed suitcase and headed straight for the elevator.
