After a while Yefang returned to the room. They continued their meeting along with dinner.
In dinner, the two of them didn"t talk much.
They were very much concentrated on their food.
Han Yefang suddenly said in the middle, "The female employee who came today..."
"You mean, Ms Mai?" Xianw.a.n.g asked.
"Yes. She seems a well learned person."
"Yes." He doesn"t know why but Xianw.a.n.g felt proud when he heard that.
"She seems to understand our engineering language as well."
"Hmm..."
"She seems like a trust worthy person to you too."
"She is new to the company. But very hard-working." Xianw.a.n.g said.
"Actually I came here all alone. I didn"t think that I would need someone. So didn"t bring my secretary with me. But is seems that stress made me do some mistakes. Ms. Mai seems hard-working to me. So I was wondering if she can be my secretary for the time being untill my secretary comes here." Yefang said bluntly. There was not even a hint of joking.
This sudden proposal from Yefang made Xianw.a.n.g unprepared. He didn"t know what to say.
First of all, Yuerui is a new employee. And secondly she is not a permanent employee. She is filling in for Zongguan. So how can he just hand her over to Han Yefang.
Xianw.a.n.g hesitated a little to reply.
"It"s okay, if that"s not possible." Yefang replied.
"No..no... It"s alright. She is our employee. So, of course, she can help you. I will talk to her tomorrow. Don"t worry."
"Thank you." Yefang replied without any expression.
"When will you secretary come?" Xianw.a.n.g asked casually.
"In four days." Yefang replied bluntly.
"Four?" Xianw.a.n.g got excited.
"He has to finish some work there. So he will come after sorting them out."
"Oh..."
The room fell in awkward silence. After dinner the two CEOs departed on their own cars after bidding goodnight to each other.
------------
The next day....
Yuerui was busy in her own work. Today she didn"t need to go anywhere. Just sit on her chair and do work in her with her friends.
But just before lunch she was called in by Si ying. He didn"t tell her why Xianw.a.n.g was calling for her. Just told her to come to the main office.
Yuerui didn"t know what was happening. So she took her phone, notebook and a pen then walked for the main building.
-------
When she entered she didn"t found Si ying on the reception. So she directly knocked in the door. When she heard the faint voice of Xianw.a.n.g, she went inside.
She thought that Han Yefang would be there as well. But when she saw that he was not there she got relieved.
"Boss, you called for me?" She asked.
"Hmm..." Xianw.a.n.g answered while looking through a file.
Yuerui went near the white marble table and stood there.
"Take a seat." Xianw.a.n.g said subconsciously.
"Thank you."
After looking through the file Xianw.a.n.g put that aside and finally looked at her.
"I have some new work for you, Ms Mai." He said.
"Is it any new project, boss?"
"No."
"Then?"
"You have to work as the secretary of Mr. Han for three days." As soon as he finished Yuerui immediately replied, "I am sorry. I can"t do it, boss."
Xianw.a.n.g raised his left eye brow. She didn"t even think for a second and replied negatively.
"There are other experienced employees than me. I am sure they will do better than me." Yuerui added.
"Mr. Han didn"t ask for them. He asked for you." He replied.
"Ghh*y s*kki." Yuerui cursed Yefang in Korean in her mind. She was so agitated that her brows squeezed.
"I"m sorry to disappoint you. But I have a ton of work of both mine and Mr. Lin"s. Besides my job is not as someone"s secretary. So it"s not appropriate to ask me this, Mr Kong." Saying so Yuerui stood up.
"I"ll take my leave." Yuerui walked towards the door and reached for them. She was stopped when she heard Xianw.a.n.g talking on the phone.
"Secretary Si, cancel the vacation given to Mr. Lin and tell him to report right now."
Yuerui immediately turned to Xianw.a.n.g. She said to him, "Mr. Lin is sick. How can you ask him to report suddenly?"
"I need him."
"But he is sick. He won"t be able to work properly. What if he faints again?"
"That"s not your concern. He will return to his position and since Mr. Han asked for someone trust worthy, hard-working and a person of high position, Mr. Lin fits all the criteria."
"Was I in high position?"
"You were acting as someone in high position."
They kept arguing for a minute.
"But Mr. Lin will become a even more sick." Yuerui insisted.
"I asked you before. But you didn"t accept. So Mr. Lin has to return now."
Yuerui shut her eyes and calmed herself down. She can"t let a sick person suffer for her own selfish reasons.
So she had to accept the work unwillingly.
"Okay, I will do it. When do I have to start?" She asked.
"Now."
"What?" Yuerui got excited.
"Hmm. Mr. Han will not come to the office today. Go to his hotel and see if he needs anything."
"But... But... What about my other works?"
Yuerui felt like she has dug her own grave.
"Mr. Sheng will do them."
"But.. b... Boss?"
"You can go now." Xianw.a.n.g didn"t let her say anything and concentrated on his work.
Yuerui sighed and turned to reach for the door. But since she didn"t treat her hands yesterday, she hissed when her palm touched the metal doork.n.o.b.
"Shhh..."
"d.a.m.n... Nothing is doing great since he came." she cursed again.
After she left Xianw.a.n.g picked up his phone and called Si ying.
"What?" Si ying said casually.
"Ms. Mai might have hurt her hands. Send the driver to her house with some bandage after she returns home."
"Wait, what? Why do you care..." Si ying didn"t get to complete this sentence and Xianw.a.n.g cut the phone call in the middle.
