Chapter 26
Fengyi Group Headquarters, HR Office.
Supervisor Ye Yang looked at the resume in his hand, then at the man in front of him. He was wearing a well-cut dark blue suit, which made his 185cm height look tall and majestic.
The man had a high nose bridge, bright and lively eyes, and a gentle smile on his face. Although he was dressed formally, he still had the youthfulness of a fresh graduate, and a handsomeness that emanated from his face.
As an outstanding graduate of finance and management from the Wharton School of Business, and someone recommended by Wu Youde himself, and only seeking an assistant position, this is such a waste of talent.
Wu Youde’s words suddenly flashed through Ye Yang’s mind.
"Xiao Ye, Yanwen has just taken over the group's affairs and is in urgent need of an assistant. I happen to have a friend whose son has just graduated and returned to China and is in urgent need of experience. You can arrange for him to be with Yanwen and learn from her. There is no need to inform the acting chairman of this small matter. Just think of it as a token of your uncle's kindness."
Having been immersed in the business world for many years, she could certainly hear the hidden message here. Although she was called an assistant, she was actually a spy planted beside the other party, so that he could grasp the movements of his direct faction in a timely manner.
If you think about it more deeply, Vice President Xu had just divorced and was single, so he could be pursued. However, Guo Cheng had just died, so he would probably need time to get out of the shadow. But what better way to get over it than to start a new relationship?
Besides, doesn’t Vice President Xu have Xu Yinyin by his side? She is the one that the old man focuses on cultivating. The first time she went out to negotiate with Tang Wan, she won a contract worth 200 million. With such strength, she is definitely a reserve heir.
If this man really comes with a mission, then there are two choices, daughter or granddaughter.
I have to say, Wu Youde is really an old fox. His calculations are simply enough to make people's scalp numb.
But why should she be asked to handle this hot potato when she can't afford to offend either side? Fuck!
However, doesn’t Xu Yinyin have a secret weapon? If this man really has ulterior motives, she will definitely not sit idly by.
After figuring this out, Ye Yang was no longer panicked.
"Since you were introduced by Mr. Wu, then follow his request and go directly to the vice president's office as an assistant. Amy will make the arrangements."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Ye Yang glanced at him lightly. He was handsome, had a nice voice, and his every move showed that he was well-educated.
If such an elite group of people were placed next to the two people the old man loves the most, it would be strange if he didn't have ulterior motives.
She dialed the internal line and called Amy, "Go ahead, Amy is outside."
The man stood up, nodded gracefully, opened the door and left.
Ye Yang couldn't help but look at him for a while longer, and only looked away when the other person's figure completely disappeared.
She is really thirsty and exhausted. If her boss assigns her an assistant like this, she will definitely work hard for the company until her death.
As Xue Weiwei's partner, Amy contacted her acquaintance in HR and got a thorough investigation of Meng Ce the moment he entered the company. She found out that he was highly educated, good-looking and tall. Before Feng Yi, there was only one person who had these three qualities - the son-in-law Guo Cheng.
Now that Guo Cheng has just passed away, a newcomer who is younger, more handsome, and more elegant than him has come. He was arranged to be next to Vice President Xu as soon as he arrived. It is hard not to think too much.
Especially since Vice President Xu is accompanied by the chairman's granddaughter Xu Yinyin, this makes people even more imaginative.
Vice President Xu had just gotten out of a failed marriage and probably had no intention of starting a new relationship. In addition, she was ten years older than the man in front of her, and sister-brother relationships were not Vice President Xu's thing.
He is more suitable for Princess Yin Yin.
The man in front of me has the elegance of a scholar and the competence of a business elite. He has a smile in his eyes and a voice so pleasant that it can make your ears pregnant. When entering the elevator, he will take the initiative to let ladies go first and press the button considerately. Gentleman's demeanor is engraved in his bones.
The more Amy looked at him, the more pleasing he seemed to her, and the more she thought about him, the more she felt that he was a perfect match for the princess.
Noticing Amy's cautious gaze and infatuated eyes, Meng Ce subconsciously straightened his body, trying to make a deep first impression.
Amy led people to Xu Yanwen's office and saw Meng Ce. Xu Yanwen stopped Xu Yinyin who was about to leave and introduced her, "Yinyin, this is the new assistant. You will work with him in the future. Come get to know him first."
Xu Yanwen had already prepared herself for being monitored by people from all sides, but she didn't expect it to come so soon. Fortunately, she had Yin Yin and Xiao Qi, so anyone who wanted to do anything rash had to get through them first.
Xu Yinyin looked at the newcomer and extended her hand to introduce herself: "Hello, I'm Xu Yinyin, Vice President Xu's assistant. It's our first meeting. Please take care of me."
"Hello, my name is Meng Ce, please take care of me in the future."
[Ahhh, his voice is so nice and he is so handsome. If all my colleagues at work are like this, who would be late or leave early?]
[Tsk~ It’s just so-so! ] The system commented sourly.
The sudden voice of her heart made Meng Ce stunned. Wu Youde only said that the person he wanted to get close to was a little special, but he didn't expect that she was so special that he could actually hear her voice?
Meng Ce's eyes swept over her. Although he was surprised, he accepted it well. As long as he completed the task, he would have repaid the favor and would be even with the Wu family.
After a brief introduction, Xu Yinyin opened the door and left, and Meng Ce was kept by Xu Yanwen to talk.
[Xiao Qi, where does this Meng Ce come from? ]
[A representative of outstanding graduates of the Finance and Management major of the Wharton School of Business, 25 years old, with broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs and eight-pack abs, his looks, IQ, cultivation and taste are all online. ]
[Tsk tsk tsk, isn't this like a top scholar being a groom - burying talent? With his current configuration, it would be too low of a position for him to be the director of the marketing department.]
[Who knows, maybe there are hidden talents in Fengyi, and this person is just an average person in the company. ]
Xu Yinyin curled her lips, didn't think much about it, and sat down at her workstation.
"Yinyin, Yinyin, have you met the new handsome guy?" Xue Weiwei sat down next to her in a hurry, with a light in her eyes that only a bad guy could have.
"Yes, in a workplace full of young men losing their hair at a young age, his configuration is considered to be this good." Xu Yinyin gave a thumbs up.
"So, do you think it's okay?" Xue Weiwei asked with ulterior motives.
"Not bad. At least he's the only colleague I've met since I joined the company who has the ability to debut on the spot."
"So do you like this type of handsome guy?"
"I can't say I like it, but I can appreciate it."
【At least working for a day with this kind of person won't be boring. 】
"Our company should really bring in more high-quality men like this. Although we can't covet them, we can still admire them from afar. I heard from Amy that he doesn't act superior because of his education and appearance. He is quite friendly."
Xu Yinyin nodded: "He is indeed not arrogant and seems to be quite easy-going."
"But don't you think it's a bit of a waste of his talent to apply for an assistant position?"
"It's a bit of an underestimation, but what if he likes to start from the bottom and challenge the thrill of upgrading? The thinking circuits of a top student are different from those of ordinary people."
Xue Weiwei was secretly anxious. She came here with a mission assigned by the melon-badges, and she wanted to know whether this man was the one the chairman had prepared for the princess.
So she kept bringing up this topic and then waited for the two to come up with a perfect couple, but the princess seemed to have no feelings at all, which was frustrating!
"I heard from my HR colleagues that this person has a recommender, but we won't reveal the other person's identity, we only say that he's a senior executive." Xue Weiwei secretly let out an urge to smoke.
"Senior level?" Xu Yinyin wondered.
[The only senior executives who can have a say now are Wu Youde and Zhao Xing. I remember that they were in cahoots with the scumbag before. Could it be - Xiao Qi! ]
[I checked, this guy is a classmate of Wu Youde's son. They knew each other in high school. Because of the huge disparity in their family conditions, they didn't interact much. But one time, Wu Yun offended someone and was blocked in an alley and beaten up. Meng Ce ran into them when he passed by and drew his sword to help. The two of them worked together to fight their way out of the siege and have been good friends since then.]
[Compared to a playboy, Wu Youde wanted his son to play with students who were both good in character and academics, so he took good care of Meng Ce. When he learned that Meng Ce's father had to undergo dialysis all year round, he directly paid for his father's kidney transplant and saved the family. For this, Meng Ce's family was very grateful to the Wu family.]
[I didn’t realize that Wu Youde had such a kind side.]
[It is impossible to be kind, all good intentions are for better control. ]
【How do you say it? 】
Xu Yinyin and Xue Weiwei pricked up their ears at the same time.
[Didn’t I say before that Meng Ce and Wu Yun met because of the shield, so in Wu Youde’s eyes, Meng Ce is like a bodyguard and follower. Wu Youde wanted to send his son to study abroad, but he was worried about the bad security and that his baby son would not be used to the living and eating habits there, so he wanted Meng Ce to go with him, firstly to keep him company and secondly to take care of his son.]
[Oh my, Wu Youde's plan is almost jumping up in my face. He is too calculating. He knows that the top students aspire to better schools, so he gives such a big temptation and pretends to cultivate talents. He fools people into the trap. He is so scheming. Does this count as a favor and asking for a reward? ]
[Remove the word "count or not", and this is it! Meng Ce already owed the Wu family because of his father's affairs. Now the other party has offered him generous conditions for studying abroad, which makes him extremely embarrassed. He doesn't like to owe favors to others, but Meng's father said that since the other party has this intention, he should accept this favor. The Wu family is a wealthy family. If they just pay back the money, they may not be interested. What they need is talents who can serve them. Learning more useful things can better repay the other party. Since they have already owed a favor, there is no need to add this one. ]
[Although Meng Ce did not refute his father, he was very clear in his heart that it was better to rely on himself than on others. Even if he accepted the other party's favor and went to study abroad, he did not want to rely on them for the rest of his life. Only when his wings were strong enough, he would have the qualifications to fly freely.]
[Look, the reason why a top student is so powerful is because he is clear-headed enough to know what he wants and what he doesn't want. If you become a rich man, you will always be controlled by others. Even if you earn tens of millions a day, you will not be happy because the other person will always think that your success is created by him and you should serve him for the rest of your life.]
[How do you know? Wu Youde has this mentality, so he called her back when she just graduated and sent her to you to seduce you.]
【Hmm? What is he going to do to me?!】
【Color|tempt you! 】
Xu Yinyin: “…”
Xue Weiwei screamed in her heart, I knew this would be the way it would turn out.
Ahhh, temptation, slurp!
[What does this have to do with me? I am just a piece of trash. What good can I get from seducing someone?]
[Everyone thinks that the old man favors you. Even if you are a piece of trash, you can't resist the old man's determination to cultivate you. As long as you can get on this golden branch and jade leaf, you can fight less for half your life. ]
Xu Yinyin was frightened and said angrily and amusedly: "Does Wu Youde think that the love brain in the Xu family is hereditary? My father and my sister-in-law have fallen for their loved ones, so I will fall for any guy who flirts with me?"
Xu Yinyin felt that the villain in this book might have a problem with his brain and his IQ is worrying!
[I didn't just find her randomly. Wu Yun reluctantly gave her up. 】
As soon as these words were spoken, Xue Weiwei and Xu Yinyin were both stunned, and an evil thought suddenly popped up in their minds.
[Don't tell me that Wu Yun likes Meng Ce. ]
[As expected of a seasoned expert, every guess is correct. 】
Xu Yinyin thought about how Meng Ce and Wu Yun got to know each other after fighting. Isn't this a typical setting for two male protagonists in a campus novel? The cold and aloof academic master VS the spoiled school bully, Zhang Li played the full role.
Xue Weiwei also thought of this, and began to think of a post of hundreds of thousands of words. It was quite good, after all, Wu Yun was not bad looking, a typical rich second-generation rich kid.
[Uh... Could it be that Meng Ce is crooked? ]
[How can that be possible? I am 24k straight steel. ]
Xue Weiwei subconsciously straightened her back. It was very difficult to bend it straight. Wow, it felt like the melon was getting more and more explosive.
[Oh no, so Wu Youde doesn't know that Wu Yun is secretly in love with him and his son is a secret lover? ]
[Hmm, isn't it stimulating? ]
[Bending straight and taking it by force? That is really exciting, slurp! ]
The villain in Xue Weiwei's heart immediately turned into a screaming chicken, and she wished she could fly to the melon-battle tribe right away to share this shocking news!
[Wait, since Meng Ce came here with a mission to capture me, and Wu Yun reluctantly gave me up, then I will become a thorn in the eyes of both father and son. I am in danger! ]
Xue Weiwei's excited heart suddenly fell to the ground. Yes, if this happens, the princess will be in danger. Wu Yun will definitely interfere.
No, although it is dangerous, it is a Shura field.
He loves her, he wants to play with her, he can't help but reveal his true feelings in a hurry, and then it will happen, he runs and she chases, he can't escape even if he has wings.
Help! This is too exciting!
[There's nothing I can do. Who gave you a special status? ]
[No, I have to save myself. I want to nip this hatred in the bud.]
【What are you going to do? 】
Xu Yinyin did not answer because she had not yet realized that in this kind of situation, she had to wait for the enemy to make the first move.
The conversation between Xu Yanwen and Meng Ce lasted for more than ten minutes and ended. After everyone left, she immediately guessed who was behind Meng Ce.
In order to confirm her guess, she called her confidant and asked him to check Meng Ce's background in detail.
Meng Ce breathed a sigh of relief after coming out of the office.
He had just been responding carefully, and judging from the other party's satisfied look, he probably wouldn't doubt his intentions.
He is just a newcomer who wants to gain experience from the grassroots level and has the same ambitions as other graduates.
As for how to win over Xu Yinyin, the colleagues would of course start by getting to know each other through business matters.
Before Amy took him to see Xu Yanwen, she had already arranged a workstation for him. It was right next to Xu Yinyin, with an aisle between the two of them. It was neither deliberate nor distant, just perfect.
Meng Ce greeted everyone he met one by one. His every move was elegant, which made his single female colleagues of the same age secretly delighted.
Although they had already learned from Xue Weiwei that the other party's target was Princess Yin Yin, this did not prevent them from pairing them up in advance.
After all, these days it's much more enjoyable to watch other people fall in love than to fall in love yourself. If the couple is sweet, they are even sweeter. If the couple is miserable, they are glad. If the relationship ends in BE, they can only sigh and lament for a while, but there is no need to feel sad themselves. It's a sure win business to try it yourself.
The moment Meng Ce appeared, Xu Yinyin had been secretly sizing him up. Both his appearance and behavior revealed his gentle and refined elegance.
Apart from the tasks he was assigned, he was actually a good colleague, capable and good-looking. It was a pity...
Xu Yinyin felt a little regretful. In order to keep herself away from the vortex of struggle, she absolutely could not allow herself any chance of being suspected by the Xu family of having ulterior motives.
Even if he was a celestial being, she would still be able to solve the conspiracy as usual.
[His workstation is actually next to yours. Is the first move to pick up girls to be close to them?] The system pondered.
Xu Yinyin sneered in her heart. She has been concentrating on dismantling the stage for twenty years and is not afraid of anyone coming.
Meng Ce did not show much enthusiasm towards Xu Yinyin. He sat quietly at his workstation and familiarized himself with the business.
Due to Wu Youde's previous help, he hesitated for several days before making a decision. Although the other party only allowed him to get close to Xu Yinyin, he did not mention to what extent he needed to do so.
It seems that he is given room for choice, but in fact, he is hinting that he should do as much as he has owed. I don't need to tell him, but you have to know it yourself.
Wu Youde's behavior was already apparent when he accompanied Wu Yun to study abroad.
He sent him abroad under the pretext of cultivating talents, but in fact he just treated him as an attendant to study with and serve the eldest master.
He had always been very clear that for someone from his family, having a diploma alone was not enough to make a name for himself. Finance and management required connections, which the Wu family had.
They can use themselves as study companions, and I can also use their connections and financial resources to gild myself. Once my wings are strong enough, I will naturally have the strength to soar into the sky.
When the time comes, all you have to do is find an opportunity to leave and stay away from the Wu family's sphere of influence.
The world is so big, could it all belong to your Wu family?
With this mentality, he accepted the task assigned to him by Wu Youde. As for how well he could accomplish it, it would depend on how long it would take him to prepare the capital to leave.
Before that, he could have just dragged the other party along.
*
The two parties were separated by an aisle and had not exchanged a single word all morning, which made the crowd anxious. While pouring coffee, everyone gathered together to talk.
"Weiwei, did you really listen to what Xiaoqi said? Is that person here to seduce you?"
"Of course, I was right there, 3D surround, okay?"
"It's been almost three hours, and the other side hasn't made any movement. What kind of tactics is this?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? You just started working today. If you make a move, it will be a confession. You are the heir of a wealthy family. If your move is too obvious, aren't you afraid that your father's son will hit you to death? Think about the fate of the son-in-law who was betrayed."
One sentence left everyone speechless.
Everyone poured tea and scattered.
In fact, it’s not their fault that they are anxious. Xu Yinyin is anxious too. She knows that the other party is well prepared but she is slow to take action, which makes her very passive.
She couldn't just ask directly, because that would make her seem narcissistic. But she had to just waste time like this, living in fear all day long, which was so annoying!
"Secretary Xu, what should we do here?"
Meng Ce asked her with a form.
Xu Yinyin shook her head, "I don't know either, ask Amy."
After he finished speaking, he went straight to find Amy who was ten meters away. The latter hurriedly got up and went to Meng Ce to teach him step by step.
Meng Ce: “…”
After Amy left, Meng Ce pretended to be tired and moved his shoulders. He picked up the cup to get some water and asked Xu Yinyin, "Secretary Xu, what would you like to drink? I can bring it to you."
"No need, no need. I don't drink water, eat food, or go to the restroom while I'm at work. Thank you!"
Meng Ce: “…”
He exhaled silently, then stood up and went to the tea room, feeling that the situation was a bit tricky.
[Is this your way of dealing with it, avoiding it like a snake or a scorpion?]
[Don’t you think it’s useful? If you can’t make any money, don’t get close to me! ]
【······】The system was suddenly speechless.
When Meng Ce came back, he took a brownie and quietly placed it on Xu Yinyin's desk, "Xue Weiwei asked me to bring this for you."
"Impossible, I have diabetes, Weiwei knows it." Xu Yinyin ruthlessly exposed his lie.
When you go out, you make yourself sick!
Meng Ce was amused by her, and he did not hide it, "Sorry, I lied, I wanted to give it to you, it has nothing to do with others."
Xu Yinyin said nonsense in a serious tone: "My diabetes is real, it doesn't matter who comes."
Meng Ce was slightly stunned, and then said, "Miss Xu, are you dissatisfied with me in some way? I always feel that you are rejecting me."
"Yeah, you're right."
“······”
Meng Ce thought to himself, are all the young ladies from wealthy families so wary, or do they know his intentions?
[I know the tricks of sex|seduction very well. I first use the relationship of colleagues to get close to her, and then increase the opportunities for mutual communication. I unconsciously get to know my hobbies and daily pastimes, and then create chance encounters, slowly penetrate into my life, and gradually invade my territory, creating all kinds of surprises and romance, and pretending that it is unintentional, catering to the vanity of young girls, taking every step carefully, seducing her, and when she is moved, she will automatically fall for me and let me do whatever I want. Oh, men! ]
Meng Ce, who is in the first stage of brewing: "..."
She is so smart, but Wu Youde actually said she is a love-brained person, what a damn old scumbag!
[But then again, has Wu Yun ever used these moves on him? Compared to his seduction plan on me, I am more curious about how he and Wu Yun get along.]
Xu Yinyin's excited voice made Meng Ce's back stiffen. Why did she mention Wu Yun?
He pricked up his ears silently.
[How could Wu Yun's secret closet be so obvious? Please, Meng Ce is a top student after all, smart and alert. Besides, he has always regarded Wu Yun as a buddy. Even if the two of them had physical contact, Meng Ce would only think of it as a touch between men. How could he think of anything else?]
Meng Ce's pupils trembled. Deep cabinet? Wu Yun? !
[But, isn't Wu Yun's pleasure to take advantage of others under the banner of brotherhood? From time to time, they would put their arms around each other's shoulders, touch each other's heads, hug each other, and even go swimming and playing ball together. When they were tired, they would take a bath together. They would watch everything they wanted to watch, and then take it out to comment on it when it was late at night. Then, they would imagine and release themselves in the dark. Oh, so perverted! ]
Meng Ce stood up abruptly, and suddenly he felt as if his whole body was crawling with bugs.
Wu Yun to him...
He treats the other person as a buddy, but he wants to sleep with him?
What a injustice this is!
Moreover, following Xu Yinyin's thoughts, he did think about how she always touched him intentionally or unintentionally when they were together in recent years.
He always thought it was a sign of closeness between brothers, but it turned out to be ---
Ahhhh, I'm dirty!
Thanks to Senmo and Youyou for their support.
