"Why is it you?" Murong Beichen's eyes were filled with complex emotions.
"Murong Beichen, long time no see." Five years later, Xu Chun had a look of surprise on her face, but her eyes revealed confidence.
Murong Beichen let out a cold snort and turned to Zhu Yaya, who was hiding in the back enjoying the drama. "Secretary Zhu, let's go!"
Zhu Yaya, who was just enjoying the show: !!!
At the same time, the system's voice rang out...
"Congratulations on successfully completing the twenty-fourth mission. Reward: three years of lifespan and twenty thousand RMB."
Zhu Yaya covered her fruit box and put it back into her work bag. "Yes, President."
"Zhu Yaya!" Xu Chun's voice carried a mix of surprise and unease. "Why are you here?" Her eyes showed a hint of hostility.
Zhu Yaya walked past Xu Chun, smiling and nodding at her. "Hello, Senior Xu."
The staff member guiding Xu Chun first greeted the President and Zhu Yaya. Seeing that Xu Chun seemed to know their President and went to the same school as the President's first secretary, he was overjoyed.
His attitude towards Xu Chun became even more attentive.
"President, this is Ada, the famous young designer our company specially hired from overseas. So, Ada, you actually know our President!"
Xu Chun smiled and was about to reply, but Murong Beichen beat her to it.
Murong Beichen kept a straight face and attacked with cold words. "Who would know someone like her? Secretary Zhu, let's go!"
Zhu Yaya followed by Murong Beichen's side as they left the Murong Group, feeling Xu Chun's gaze on her back.
There was one downside to working beside a bossy CEO. That was, every time the CEO got mad at the female lead, he would punish the secretary next to him.
Murong Beichen was naturally no exception. He showed that the girl who dumped him for thirty million had returned; he was a little happy, but also very angry, so...
"Zhu Yaya, your bonus for this month is gone."
Zhu Yaya: ...
What a sin!
Murong Beichen said that, but he immediately told Zhu Yaya to dismiss the twenty-five stand-ins he had found.
Zhu Yaya: ...
Tch, what a duplicitous man!
Murong Beichen's immediate hostility towards Xu Chun made her early days at the Murong Group quite difficult. Many people secretly laughed at her and even played little tricks on her. Although Xu Chun had a big reputation, that was only abroad.
Zhu Yaya watched coldly from the sidelines, already foreseeing the fate of those people. The system's voice rang in her mind...
"Congratulations on successfully unlocking the twenty-fifth mission. Please go to the employee lounge on the ninth floor of the Murong Group at 1:30 PM today to witness Murong Beichen's domineering defense of his wife, Xu Chun."
Zhu Yaya raised an eyebrow; another mission was here!
At 1:30 PM, Zhu Yaya's figure appeared punctually in the employee lounge on the ninth floor. That floor belonged to the department where Xu Chun worked. Since Zhu Yaya, as Murong Beichen's first secretary, suddenly appeared there, many employees greeted her. Zhu Yaya politely nodded and smiled as she walked into the lounge. There was a coffee maker, as well as desserts, ice cream, yogurt, and other snacks provided for the employees.
Zhu Yaya brewed a cup of hot coffee at the machine. Then, she found a corner where she stared in the direction of the coffee maker and even opened her fruit box. Before long, she saw Xu Chun walk up to the coffee machine.
Just as someone maliciously splashed coffee on Xu Chun, Murong Beichen appeared, carrying his unique bossy CEO aura.
He cast a heartbroken glance at Xu Chun, then turned and angrily roared at the female employee who played the dirty trick, "Do you have eyes? Our Murong Group does not have employees like you! You don't need to come in tomorrow!"
Just like that, Xu Chun easily won Murong Beichen's pity. When Murong Beichen questioned her about why she took the money and left back then, Xu Chun cried a river of tears. "Brother Chen, I didn't want it to be like this either. But Madam He threatened me with the safety of my relatives at that time. So, I had no choice but to leave you!"
"What!" Murong Beichen was furious.
Zhu Yaya silently lit a candle for Madam He in her heart.
At the same time, her twenty-fifth mission was also completed.
"Congratulations on successfully completing the twenty-fifth mission. Reward: three years of lifespan and twenty thousand RMB."
Xu Chun and Murong Beichen were being all lovey-dovey together again.
News about the President dating the new designer swept through the entire Murong Group. Zhu Yaya even saw related entertainment news reports.
Shocking! The richest man in the country spends five million for love
Shocking! Murong Group President caught in a late-night rendezvous with an unknown woman
...
For a company's president to constantly appear in the entertainment news was, in the eyes of industry insiders, very... ummm.
Usually, when going out to secure large international orders, the president is required to go in person. But Murong Beichen was too busy!
He was busy dating Xu Chun, busy slapping the faces of vicious female supporting characters, and busy fighting with Ling Yiming and a bunch of other male supporting characters.
Thanks to the fuss between him and Xu Chun, Zhu Yaya quickly completed the twenty-sixth, twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth, and twenty-ninth missions.
Recently, the Murong Group collaborated on a huge order with a major tycoon from the neighboring province. Murong Beichen was nowhere to be seen, so Zhu Yaya gritted her teeth and stepped up, following up on the project the entire time.
When meeting with the partner company, the partner company's president didn't see Murong Beichen, and his face looked a bit ugly. "Is this your company's sincerity?"
Zhu Yaya hurriedly explained, "Haha, President Zhou, our President has been very busy with work lately. This meal is on me!"
President Zhou snorted coldly, took out his phone, and flipped to a top entertainment news headline to show Zhu Yaya. "Very busy?"
Zhu Yaya looked at the news; it was an entertainment piece about Murong Beichen buying a small island for Xu Chun.
Zhu Yaya: ...
President Zhou said meaningfully, "Of course, I'm not blaming Secretary Zhu. I know Secretary Zhu is very capable and sincere. Wu Zixu of the Spring and Autumn period chose a good master so that his talents could be put to use."
Zhu Yaya knew what he meant in her heart, but on the surface, she just laughed it off and glossed over it.
Then one day, it was already eleven o'clock at night when the great President Murong Beichen suddenly called Zhu Yaya. At the time, Zhu Yaya had long since fallen asleep and was completely groggy.
Then, she heard Murong Beichen panting heavily on the other end of the phone, and she also heard the charming moans of a woman.
Zhu Yaya's originally groggy mind instantly cleared up.
"Secretary Zhu, hurry up and buy me a pack of condoms! Deliver them to my suburban villa!" Murong Beichen's voice was hoarse. "Hurry! If I don't see them before twelve, you don't need to come to the company tomorrow!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
This made Zhu Yaya so angry that she fiercely threw her pillow onto the floor.
He made it sound like she actually cared about being his secretary!
Besides, buying condoms for the boss? That didn't seem to be within her scope of work, did it?
There was no helping it. For the sake of future missions, Zhu Yaya endured it.
Zhu Yaya comforted herself. Forget it, forget it. After completing one or two more missions, she would resign.
