Yan Liang opened and closed her mouth. She was completely speechless. Was he purposely making things hard on her? Even if he didn"t like to eat sweet cake, that she could understand, but what he hated most in the morning was black coffee? Then what did he drink yesterday afternoon?
It"s not like she hasn"t met a fussy and picky eater before. However one like Liang Xi Cheng, this was the first.
How can anyone be so picky? It was just a cup of coffee and a piece of cake......
Yan Liang complained internally. However she knew even if she waited upon him like a king and he criticized her, it was because she brought it upon herself. Since she became his personal secretary, even if she couldn"t do it perfectly, she couldn"t do it unsatisfactorily either.
At the very least, she couldn"t lose to breakfast and a cup of coffee!
Although this wasn"t her first day as a secretary, Yan Liang really admired how good her emotional control was. In this moment, she actually could adjust her mood and respectfully say, "Chairman Liang, I neglected my duties. I didn"t ask Guan Jiu beforehand about your daily habits and your food and drink preference. I called Guan Jiu earlier, but his phone was turned off."
"If you can"t handle matters well, there"s no need to find an excuse. What I need the least are people who only know how to find excuses." Liang Xi Cheng raised his wrist and looked at his expensive watch. His tone was completely dismissive, "It"s almost boarding time. Even if you bought the breakfast and coffee I wanted, I wouldn"t have time to eat it."
Because Yan Liang stood in front of him, Liang Xi Cheng had to look up while speaking. This posture made him really uncomfortable. He simply pointed at a row of seats, hinting for her to sit down.
Naturally, Yan Liang didn"t think about what he meant. After being rebuked like that, how did she have the courage to sit across from him? She promptly waved her hand. "There"s no need, Chairman Liang. Standing is fine."
"I"m not used to talking to people like this. Perhaps you think you should be sitting and I standing?"
Yan Liang blanked. After a short moment, she realized why he was sitting.
Sure enough, this lofty and aloof man thought raising his neck was really tiring!
Yan Liang pursed her lips. In the end, she still cautiously sat down in front of him. She looked at Liang Xi Cheng, eyes hiding her wariness, and said, "Chairman Liang, I"m really sorry for today. For the mistakes I make at work, I"m willing to a.s.sume all responsibility. If you think I"m not qualified for this position......"
"You only have that little ability?" Yan Liang hadn"t finish speaking when Liang Xi Cheng suddenly cut her off. His tone was chilly. Every word was sharp, "You can"t do it well, so now you want to avoid it? It hasn"t been 24 hours since you swore you were very capable. But now I regret not seeing you"re actually a quitter [1]!"
Yan Liang clenched her teeth. She opened her mouth to refute, "I"m not a quitter!"
"It"s good you"re not a quitter. You better not let me, Xi Cheng, regret picking the wrong person."
Through the intercom, a pleasant female voice broadcasted the boarding notice. Liang Xi Cheng smoothly stood up and handed the laptop to Yan Liang, "Let"s board."

[1] But now I regret not seeing you"re actually a quitter
The word used actually means deserter, like an army deserter. I changed it to quitter to match the context a little better.
