However, Murong Beichen's words were actually somewhat right!
When she went with Murong Beichen to negotiate business with other companies, others would introduce their secretaries like this:
"This is my secretary, Linda."
"Hello, I am the manager of XX Company, my surname is Huang. This is my secretary, Miss Liu Ning."
"This is my secretary, Zhang Yang."
...
But when it came to Murong Beichen:
"This is my first secretary, Zhu Yaya."
It felt like an elementary school student had sneaked into a group of elite professionals.
Plus, other secretaries were long-legged, mature women, while Zhu Yaya, who was just over 1.6 meters tall, was a petite and cute girl.
This gave off an even stronger elementary school student vibe.
Other secretaries were called "Sister Zhang," "Sister Liu," or "Sister Wang" by their subordinates, but Zhu Yaya was called "Sister Zhu."
Zhu Yaya: ...
Why did it always feel like there was some hidden meaning behind that?
So, Zhu Yaya followed Murong Beichen's advice and chose a catchier English name—"Karen".
After that, whenever subordinates came looking for Zhu Yaya in the company, she would put on a serious face and say, "Please call me Sister Karen."
Pretending to be a domineering, long-legged mature woman.
Radiating an imposing aura.
As Murong Beichen's first secretary, Zhu Yaya had to assist him at work and accompany him on business trips. To maintain his domineering CEO aura, Murong Beichen never spoke a single word when negotiating outside; Zhu Yaya alone would debate with everyone, secure the deals, and strive for the maximum benefits for the Murong Group. Not only that, but Zhu Yaya also had to help Murong Beichen deal with various unexpected situations in life, such as:
"Zhu, Secretary Zhu, my, my chin is crooked."
"Zhu, Secretary Zhu, my nose, ah, is crooked."
"Secretary Zhu!! Why is my face swollen?"
...
Murong Beichen used his personal experiences to teach Zhu Yaya about the painful aftermath of plastic surgery.
Because of Murong Beichen, Zhu Yaya learned more and more about cosmetic procedures.
However, as the current richest man in China, Murong Beichen paid Zhu Yaya a very high salary. Besides her base pay, Zhu Yaya received monthly bonuses and a year-end bonus. When a domineering CEO spent money, who could compete? Every bonus Zhu Yaya received was never less than ten thousand.
Once, Zhu Yaya was half an hour late due to a traffic jam. Just when she thought Murong Beichen would deduct her bonus for the month, Murong Beichen, after clarifying the reason for her lateness, pondered for a moment: "Where do you live?"
"The South District of the Imperial Capital." Zhu Yaya still lived with Zhu Jianjun and Zhao Jing. However, she already had plans to buy a house.
"South District." Murong Beichen wanted to frown, but unfortunately, having injected too much Botox, his entire face was stiff.
Zhu Yaya: "...Yes."
Murong Beichen said sternly: "As the first secretary of China's richest man, Murong Beichen, how can you live in such a hellhole? It severely lowers my class."
Then, in the blink of an eye, he gave Zhu Yaya a small villa in Emerald City in the East District. The kind with a private garden. It was fully furnished with luxurious furniture, ready for her to move in with just her bags.
Zhu Yaya: !!!
When she received the property ownership certificate, Zhu Yaya's head was spinning. She turned the certificate over and over, unable to believe that she had obtained a small villa without spending a single penny.
This was a house in the best location in the East District of the Imperial Capital.
And she got it so easily!
In addition, Murong Beichen also gave Zhu Yaya a white Porsche sports car.
Zhu Yaya: !!!
Zhu Yaya spoke with difficulty: "President, you have given me too much."
Murong Beichen didn't care at all: "It's just a house and a car. Just don't be late in the future. As my, Murong Beichen's, first secretary, how can you be late?"
Zhu Yaya couldn't refuse, so she worked even harder, utilizing the various connections she had made in college to pull in several major international deals for the Murong Group. The profits she generated far exceeded the value of the house and car Murong Beichen had given her.
Gradually, Zhu Yaya's reputation in the industry grew. Many corporate headhunters wanted to poach her, but Zhu Yaya rejected them all. After all, she still had to complete her upcoming tasks!
When Murong Beichen learned of these things, he was very satisfied with Zhu Yaya's performance: "As expected of my, Murong Beichen's, first secretary."
Zhu Yaya: ...
Hehe.
Is every domineering CEO this confident?
Zhu Yaya's salary increased again.
Zhu Yaya's little treasury was already full to the brim. Always hoarding this money was meaningless. Coincidentally, a junior schoolmate of Zhu Yaya's who studied computer science was starting a business with a group of people. Due to various reasons, they couldn't attract investment and were very short on funds. Zhu Yaya had read their proposal and found it very interesting. Thinking that since she now had a car and a house and nowhere to spend her money, she invested eighty percent of her savings into the junior's business and conveniently introduced some connections to him. The junior was extremely touched, gave Zhu Yaya a lot of shares, and even said she was also a founder of the company.
Zhu Yaya originally thought that since the junior and his team were just starting their business, they would definitely suffer losses a few times. She didn't pay much attention to it and busied herself with her work at the Murong Group, but she never expected the junior to give her a massive surprise.
When she saw the hundreds of millions the junior transferred to her, she was completely shocked.
She called the junior: "Junior Ren, why is there so much extra money in my account?"
The junior said proudly: "Senior, that's the dividend."
Zhu Yaya: !!!
So much?
Thus, she asked curiously: "Junior Ren, what exactly does the company do?"
"We make mobile phones. Senior, you must have heard of our company's name. Our company is called 'Xiawei'."
Zhu Yaya looked at her Xiawei phone and fell into deep thought.
"Senior, I have another classmate named Ma Yun. He wants to do online shopping, the company is called Taobao, and he also lacks investment. Senior, do you have any thoughts?"
Zhu Yaya: ...
Gradually, the novel's plot reached the point where Xu Chun returned to the country. This meant Zhu Yaya's task was approaching.
Zhu Yaya knew that over the past five years, Murong Beichen had never forgotten Xu Chun. He had found twenty-five stand-ins who looked similar to Xu Chun. But traditional domineering CEOs remain chaste, so Murong Beichen's virginity was still intact, always reserved for Xu Chun.
Otherwise, "His Domineering, Pure Love" would have turned into "Fatal Encounter: The Domineering CEO's Stand-in Lover" or "Rejecting the Wealthy Family, the CEO's Lover Runs Away with a Baby."
Every day, Murong Beichen would go find his stand-in lovers, sit face to face with them, and leave after exactly one hour. Zhu Yaya was present at the scene.
Murong Beichen would even say mournfully to Zhu Yaya: "Secretary Zhu, have you ever loved someone so much that it tore your heart apart?"
Zhu Yaya thought of herself and Yan Heng.
