In the Imperial Capital at the Qi headquarter.
A few days before Qi Yihan came back from his one-month leave, the other three families, in order to gain more benefits, took over all the good projects. This made the other higher-ups of the Qi Corp angry, but they did not dare to say anything.
After work today, as soon as Secretary Si walked out of the secretary-generalâs office, he was pulled to a high-end bar by several higher-ups waiting there.
They sat in the private room. After ordering the wine, the project director gulped down a glass and started to complain. âThe CEO has only been gone for a month. Now the company has become a modern version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. If this goes on, I think we can just pack up and leave.â
The director of the Strategic Planning Department immediately added, âI think we might as well pack up and leave now. When something goes wrong on the project, if they push the blame to us, weâll end up more miserably.â
The director of the Finance Department sighed. âIn the past half a month, the three masters asked me to allocate nearly five billion yuan. I really hope that the CEO can come back early. If this goes on, Iâm afraid that weâll go broke very soon.â
The director of Human Resources said, âThe three masters sent in a lot of their own people this month. Iâve been busy interviewing them and even got no time to take a break.â
All the other directors sighed in unison.
Then, everyone looked at Secretary Si, who was sitting there expressionlessly with a glass of wine.
The director of the technical department asked, âSecretary Si, I heard that your works are all taken by the secretaries of the other three masters.â
Secretary Si knew what they were thinking. Everyone asked him out for a drink tonight because they wanted to ask him how long it would take for the CEO to come back.
He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said in a tone that was hard to tell if he was happy or angry, âThe Qi Corp will be managed by the three masters this month, so it should be natural that I let their secretaries take care of my job.â
The directors looked at each other.
The director of the project department said earnestly, âThatâs true, but you have always been the one arranging the things. Once someone else replaces you, there will be problems. Just like the discussion with MJ company the day before yesterday, the three mastersâ secretaries actually failed to detect the mistake in the files. Also, the meeting summaries they write are just a disaster. The important points are all left out and the unimportant ones are included in detail.â
âAlsoâ¦â
Secretary Si didnât stop them from complaining. He sat there and listened to them while drinking without saying anything.
When everyone was almost done complaining, one of the department directors finally asked, âSecretary Si, you should be in contact with the CEO. When will he be back?â
The others looked at him expectantly.
Secretary Si pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and asked instead of answering, âThe fact that the CEO changed his phone card after he went out indicates that he doesnât want to know anything about business. Do you think he will contact me?â
They thought to themselves, âWhy not?â
They sighed again.
At this moment, Secretary Si looked at his watch. It was already half past nine. He had been dragged to the bar after work to listen to them complain. He had not had time to eat and was already feeling hungry. He stood up and said, âThank you for the wine. My family has a curfew, so goodbye.â
Everyone was struck dumb.
Secretary Si didnât care if they believed him or not. He turned around and left.
This was the start of nightlife. After Secretary Si left the club, he planned to find a place to eat first. However, as soon as the car drove out, he bumped into someoneâs car.
Looking at the young man who got out of his car angrily, Secretary Si pushed his glasses up his nose bridge and rolled down the car window at the same time. Then he took out a business card from the side.
After the young man walked over, he shouted at him fiercely, âDo you have eyes? Canât you see that my car is in front of you? Todayâ¦â
A business card was shown to the young man. While the young man was stunned, Secretary Si said expressionlessly, âThis is my business card. Send me the repair bill .â
The young man came back to his senses and said unhappily, âDo you think compensation is enough? Let me tell youâ¦â
âWeâll compensate you for your injury as well.â Secretary Si would get grumpy and a little hot-tempered if he didnât have his meal. âIf youâre not satisfied with that, you can choose to file a lawsuit.â
The young man had never seen someone so arrogant after hitting his car. Just as he was about to curse at him, he subconsciously glanced at the business card.
When he saw it, his eyes widened, followed by a drastic change of facial expression. âOh, you are Secretary Si. Iâm sorry I didnât recognize you. Donât take it to heart. Iâll fix the car myself. You donât have to pay a penny⦠Secretary Si, you must be very busy. I shouldnât waste your precious time.â
After the young man finished speaking, he quickly moved aside and gestured for Secretary Si to go ahead.
Secretary Si heaved a sigh of relief and said, âSend me the repair bill, and Iâll transfer the money to you.â
âThatâs just a small sum of money. Itâs alright, itâs alright! I forgot to introduce myself. Iâm Guo Zhen, who just joined the Qi Corporationâs security department. I hope weâll have a good time working together, Secretary Si.â
Secretary Si pursed his lips and drove away without replying.
After what happened, he was no longer in the mood to eat outside. Just as he was about to return to his apartment, his phone suddenly rang.
He took the phone and looked at it. In the next second, he quickly parked the car at the side and called out excitedly, âCEO.â
Qi Yihan, âIf you have time, come to my villa.â
Secretary Si, âYes, right away.â
After hanging up, Secretary Si adjusted his glasses and heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally, he no longer had to face the annoying people in the company alone.
â¦
When Secretary Si arrived at Qi Yihanâs villa, it was already past ten.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Butler Zhang walking over.
Butler Zhang said to him, âMr. Si, Master is waiting for you in the living room. Please.â
Secretary Si followed Butler Zhang in and happened to hear Butler Yang reporting to Qi Yihan about the Qi family this month.
Just as he was wondering if he should wait before they finished, his gaze landed on Tang Li, who was walking down the stairs with two cute kids. His eyes widened, and he slowly turned to look at Butler Zhang. âWhen did Madam give birth? Why are her kids so big already?â
