âYes, I am Charlene, sorry to trouble you.â Charlene replied gracefully.
âDonât mention it. Itâs my pleasure.â Mr. Zhang felt a little embarrassed. He felt that his hard work was worth it when he saw that the beautiful woman was also modest and polite.
He put away the placard and turned to help Charlene with her bags.
Charlene walked in front while Mr. Zhang followed behind with a trolley wondering the whole time if it was a good idea to have such a beautiful woman working at Gu Groupâ¦
He also wondered what the beauty in front of him was thinking. She wouldnât be causing any trouble at work, right?
When they got to the car, Mr. Zhang sat in the front passenger seat while Charlene sat in the back.
Charlene and Mr. Zhang chatted about the sights, sounds and culture of Bin City as they drove.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Suddenly, Charlene changed the subject and asked about Gu Shaoting.
âBrother Zhang, is Brother Gu very busy?â Charlene was smooth talker as she quickly changed the way she addressed Mr. Zhang from âMr. Zhangâ to âBrother Zhangâ.
âOf course, heâs busy. Itâs no easy feat for CEO Gu to manage such a big company.â Mr. Zhangâs tone was filled with deep admiration.
âYeah, I heard from my father that heâs super impressive.â Charleneâs tone was filled with pride too.
âThatâs for sure. But heâs probably not going to be busy with the company soon. I think heâll be busy with his significant life event in the coming days.â Mr. Zhang could be a gossip sometimes, like how he was speaking cryptically now.
âHis significant life event?â Charlene was shocked. What was going on? Although she had spent a lot of time overseas, she had majored in Chinese, so she knew the meaning of âsignificant life eventâ.
She might have heard that he had a girlfriend, but she wasnât paying much attention. After all, there werenât many women worthy of her Brother Gu. Moreover, most men with successful careers would not step into the tomb of love, marriage, so early in life.
âThatâs right. Not many people know about this, and Iâm telling you this in confidence now.â Actually, Mr. Zhang had his selfish motives. He wanted to tell her to warn her not to fall in love with the wrong man.
Charlene didnât say anything. She looked out the window and thought to herself disdainfully, âItâs a little premature to talk about marriage, right?â
âIs she beautiful?â Charlene suddenly asked an unrelated question.
Women tend to compare themselves to others. Mr. Zhang could not help but shake his head.
âAre you referring to the future CEO spouse? Of course, sheâs beautiful. Otherwise, she wouldnât have caught CEO Guâs eye.â Mr. Zhang was tempted to ask Charlene if she knew the obvious answer to her question.
âDid Brother Gu tell you what to do with me?â Charlene asked. She knew that familiarity bred romance, so she had to find out quickly.
âCEO Gu asked me to be your supervisor. Youâll be working with me as an executive assistant.â Mr. Zhang replied.
âOkay, I look forward to learning from you, Brother Zhang.â Charlene was rather satisfied with this arrangement because she would be working closely with the CEO; there would be plenty of opportunities for him to grow fond of her.
âDonât mention it. Weâll learn together.â Mr. Zhang replied modestly.
They chatted happily all the way until they arrived at a hotel owned by Gu Group.
âMiss Charlene, please have a rest at the hotel first. You must be tired after such a long flight. Iâll bring you to see the apartment after you recover from your jetlag.â Mr. Zhang didnât get to be Gu Shaotingâs secretary for nothing. He was a very thoughtful executive assistant.
After sending Charlene to the hotel to settle down, Mr. Zhang called Gu Shaoting. âCEO Gu, Iâve settled things for Miss Charlene. Sheâll officially start work on Monday. Sheâs still jetlagged.â
âOkay, thanks. Good job. Take good care of her.â Gu Shaoting reiterated.
