Chapter 104: Chapter 104: 97, Director Li, what do you think about my performance? (Asking for monthly votes!)

It started off pretty normal, but eventually Yang Hao suddenly felt that the boiled beef in his mouth wasn’t tantalizing anymore.

Isn’t this story strangely familiar?

“Which company is your friend working for?”

Yang Hao tentatively asked.

“Jiangcheng Newspaper Group,” Sun Xinyi replied.

Yang Hao nodded his head.

Yep, that’s acceptable.

So she’s been badmouthing the boss behind his back, huh!

But, darn it, how did the HR department get wind of this?

How the heck did I become the “lecherous boss”!

What did I even ask for?

Yang Hao reviewed the conversation he had with Wei Zhengyi.

Wei Zhengyi: Mr. Yang, do you have any specific requirements for a secretary?

Yang Hao: As long as she’s capable, that’s fine.

I mean, is there a problem with my requirement?

A secretary’s gotta be capable, right? I can’t just find some fairy to keep around!

“How about your friend’s work capabilities?” Yang Hao asked.

“She’s really amazing!”

“We grew up together, she’s always been a top student, she later got into Renmin University, and after graduation, she went to work in administration at a large state-owned enterprise…”

“Then why did she come back to Jiangcheng?” Yang Hao asked.

“Her boss harbored improper designs towards her, plus she felt life in the Capital City was too competitive. She wanted to forge her path in Jiangcheng, which is closer to our hometown.”

Sun Xinyi was very clear about Xu Yali’s situation because the two had kept in frequent contact. She had previously proactively inquired about how to handle her relationship with Yang Hao.

The “adviser” told her to seize the opportunity no matter what!

And Sun Xinyi did fancy Yang Hao, that’s true, but it hadn’t reached the stage where she could see them being together.

If she were a gold-digger, she would’ve dove in headfirst, considering her affection for him and the fact that he’s a super-rich guy.

But Sun Xinyi was just not that type of woman who puts money first and didn’t want to be with a man just for the money.

With this mindset, she hesitated when it came to Yang Hao’s “pursuit.”

As a result, with men like him, if you hesitate, you miss out!

It seemed Meng Yuyu might have already made her move successfully because Mr. Yang even gifted her a Mercedes worth over half a million.

Although Sun Xinyi wasn’t materialistic, it was impossible not to feel envious!

The vanity of a woman is strong by nature, especially for those in their twenties when it’s at its peak.

Who wouldn’t want to own a Mercedes?

Yang Hao caught some key information from Sun Xinyi: top student and quite capable.

And a real “returnee from the Capital.”

No connections at Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.

All these conditions were exactly what Yang Hao needed!

“By the way, Mr. Yang,”

“Once I’ve finished teaching your private lessons, I’m thinking of changing jobs too,” Sun Xinyi suddenly said.

“Change jobs?”

Yang Hao looked at Sun Xinyi, puzzled, “Do you no longer want to be a fitness coach, or are you thinking of moving to another fitness center?”

“I don’t want to be a fitness coach anymore!”

Sun Xinyi shook her head confidently.

“Why?”

Yang Hao asked curiously, as he had been considering letting Sun Xinyi manage this fitness center once his sign-in mission was over.

However, this girl didn’t want to be a fitness coach anymore.

“I don’t really like this kind of working environment.”

“Mr. Yang, just take a look at these Weixun messages and you’ll understand…”

As she spoke, Sun Xinyi handed her mobile phone to Yang Hao. She had two Weixun accounts, and the one currently open on the phone was her work account, filled with many unread messages. Ninety percent were from male members trying to ask her out for meals, shopping, movies, and the like—that was still relatively okay.

Others bluntly left messages like “name your price” or “how much” and such.

“Actually, I’ve been struggling with whether to change jobs, but I’m quite attached to the income. If I were to look for another job, I probably wouldn’t earn as much as a fitness coach…”

Sun Xinyi spoke frankly, expressing her truest thoughts.

For a graduate from a sports college, switching to a different career path is indeed difficult, and even if she found something else, she would likely be looking at a monthly salary of around four or five thousand.

Although a fitness coach’s income is irregular, it’s possible to make over a hundred thousand a year.

“I’m really fed up with being verbally harassed every day!”

“So, I have to make a change!” Sun Xinyi declared with certainty once again.

Yang Hao nodded in understanding, handed her phone back, and asked, “So, what job do you plan on doing then?”

“Perhaps an office clerk or customer service, I guess. Those jobs don’t have many barriers…”

Sun Xinyi had been paying attention to job postings for a while. Although she had a bachelor’s degree, her major limited her job search.

Hearing her say that, Yang Hao had a thought, “What about being a secretary?”

“Working for a female boss would be okay.”

Sun Xinyi also looked into secretarial work and knew her image and poise would make her quite successful in securing such a position, along with a decent salary.

But just the thought of serving mostly middle-aged men gave her pause.

She had encountered too many so-called bosses at the fitness center. Some appeared very respectable, but the messages they sent on Weixun were lewder than anyone else’s.

“What if you were to become my secretary?”

Yang Hao asked again.

“Huh?”

Sun Xinyi was taken aback, the sudden offer catching her off guard.

“Boss direct hiring, you know,” Yang Hao said with a chuckle.

“Mr. Yang, I have no experience,” Sun Xinyi said, clearly tempted. Firstly, she had a good impression of Mr. Yang, and secondly, she also had a high regard for Yang Hao’s character.

He had spent over a hundred thousand on her without making any indecent demands. During classes, he never intentionally took advantage of her.

Being around such a person made you feel comfortable, without any psychological burden, with no need to worry about any lewd thoughts on his part.

“Actually, I don’t have experience either…” Yang Hao said.

“What?”

Sun Xinyi was a bit confused and did not quite understand.

“What I mean is, we can make progress together!”

According to the arrangement set by Fang Zhongwei, the president’s office consisted of a director, two secretaries (primary and secondary) as well as two assistants (major assistant and minor assistant).

The two secretaries had different responsibilities; the primary secretary generally dealt with work-related matters, while the secondary secretary tended to focus more on personal affairs, such as scheduling, booking flights and hotels, and coordinating outfits for events among other things.

Yang Hao thought Sun Xinyi was more suitable for the job of the secondary secretary, especially since she had been preparing fat-reduction meals for him every day recently, which were quite good.

And besides being a secretary, she could also double as his personal fitness trainer.

“If Yang thinks I’m up for it, I’m willing to give it a try.”

The decision wasn’t hard to make. Sun Xinyi had been wanting to change jobs anyway, and she might adapt even more quickly if her boss was Yang.

“Good!”

“Then come to report for duty tomorrow!”

In his mind, Yang Hao already had a plan; he would have the capable Xu Yali as his primary secretary, and Sun Xinyi as his secondary secretary.

The two were close friends, and Xu Yali could mentor Sun Xinyi.

He was quite satisfied with this combination.

“Yang, where should I go to report for duty?” Sun Xinyi, who had never worked in an office since graduating and joining the fitness industry, was very curious about the company she was going to work for.

“Jiangcheng Newspaper Group,” Yang Hao said.

“What??”

Sun Xinyi blinked her beautiful eyes: “Jiangcheng Newspaper Group seems to be where my friend works.”

“That’s right, you’ll be colleagues from now on.”

Yang Hao nodded, and then jokingly said, “Maybe, probably I’m that lecherous boss she was talking about!”

“Ah?”

“This…”

Sun Xinyi looked embarrassed, but more than that, she felt embarrassed for her friend since the comment hadn’t come from her.

“Yang, are you really Li’s boss?”

Sun Xinyi asked in disbelief.

“Xu Yali, right?”

Yang Hao directly mentioned the other person’s name.

“Yes, her!” Sun Xinyi nodded.

“Then that’s correct. I just took over Jiangcheng Newspaper Group today. There’s only her left in the president’s office. Originally, I planned to transfer her out because I didn’t know if she was someone else’s spy placed by my side, but now I can be sure she’s not!”

“So, I’m really going to be colleagues with Li?”

Sun Xinyi felt that everything was happening too suddenly, but of course, for her, this surprise was more than welcome.

Not only had she resolved her employment issue, but she would also be colleagues with her close friend, which would make it much easier to adapt.

“Yes, you’ll be working closely from now on.”

Yang Hao finished the last piece of beef in his meal box, then wiped his mouth with a napkin: “However, we can’t stop these fitness sessions, we’ll still need to find time to train for an hour every day!”

This fitness center was about to come into his possession; naturally, he couldn’t give up halfway.

The perks from the System were not to be wasted!

Zhang Liang Spicy Hot Pot.

This restaurant was located near Xu Wenqian’s workplace.

At the moment, she had half a cuttlefish ball in her mouth, her eyes wide open.

After a moment of shock, she quickly swallowed the cuttlefish ball and exclaimed in astonishment, “So, the big villain just like that is gone?”

Li Manni, who had become the director of the new media operations center and didn’t have much work at the moment, had invited her best friend to have lunch together.

“Yes!”

Li Manni nodded: “One dismissed, another reassigned, and Director Chang is very likely to resign on his own initiative!”@@novelbin@@

“Not only that, but I got promoted…” Li Manni also mentioned her job transfer.

Xu Wenqian was even more shocked: “So, you’re now the director of the new media operations center at Jiangcheng Newspaper Group??”

Li Manni nodded: “Even though I have the title of director, Manager Wang said that including me, there are only five employees in the new media operations center.”

“And the other four haven’t even shown up yet!”

“No, no, no, there is someone…”

Xu Wenqian’s eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: “Director Li, what do you think of me?”

“Huh?”

“You want to switch jobs?”

Li Manni hadn’t considered the possibility that her best friend, who was currently a new media editor, might want to join.

“Of course, I would love to if I could!”

“This is the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group after all, much better than the dodgy company I work for now!” Xu Wenqian said with a hopeful face.

“Manager Wang did say that if I have someone suitable, I could recommend them.”

Li Manni remembered what Wang Zhen had said.

“Then recommend me~!”

“Quick, quick, recommend me…”

Xu Wenqian acted as if she couldn’t wait.

“Alright, alright, I’ll recommend you!”

Li Manni laughed and nodded, then added with a puzzled look: “But who could be helping me from behind the scenes?”

“I don’t know anyone at the group headquarters!”

“And it was such a precise strike; clearly, the person knew my situation, but the only people who know about my situation are Tang and you, Wenqian.”

“Tang doesn’t have that kind of power, otherwise, she would have been promoted a long time ago…”

“That’s right, it’s me!!”

Xu Wenqian stuck out her chest proudly and boasted: “How about that, my dear Nini, are you moved?”

Li Manni simply rolled her eyes at her silly best friend.

If she had that much influence, she wouldn’t be stuck raging impotently on Weixun…

“Actually, there is another person who knows about your situation.”

At that moment, Xu Wenqian said quietly.

“Who is it?”

Li Manni looked at her best friend with suspicion.

“Yang!”

“I sent him a Weixun message that you were being mistreated, and then he immediately called me to ask for your details…” Xu Wenqian confessed.

“My brother-in-law??”

Li Manni’s eyes shone slightly. If that person was her brother-in-law, everything made sense.
