The new week came quickly.
But Chu Xiuhuang hadnât shown up at the company for several days.
Until Thursday morning, at nine oâclock, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly appeared at the entrance of the secretaryâs room.
After the last incident involving a woman in his bed, the boss finally showed up at work after more than half a month!
The colleagues in the secretaryâs room were all prepared.
âGood morning, Young Master Chu!â
Chu Xiuhuangâs narrow eyes swept across Shi Huanâs desk and he turned and left immediately.
Damn woman!
The desk was cleared spotless!
Did she not miss him even a bit?
â¦
Assistant Xiaoli immediately entered the tea room. About ten minutes later, with coffee in hand, she knocked on the door of the presidentâs office.
âCome in.â
Xiaoli entered the room with trembling legs, âYoung Master Chu, your coffee.â
âWhy is it you?â Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, his face displeased, âWhere is Secretary Shi?â
âYoung Master Chu, have you forgotten? Secretary Shi has already resigned.â
She hasnât been to the company for several days.
Chu Xiuhuang was stunned, ââ¦â
Damn!
Xiaoli put down the coffee, âBut donât worry, Young Master Chu, I made it according to the method, order, and proportions that Secretary Shi gave me. You can try it.â
In fact, she had made coffee for Young Master Chu once before, which was rejected right away. Since then, she dared not do such a thing again.
She was really nervous right now, but there was no choice. Secretary Shi had resigned, and all the work had been divided between her and Xiaoliu.
Making coffee was her job.
Chu Xiuhuang extended his long and beautiful hand, elegantly picked up the coffee, and took a sip with his thin lips.
Xiaoli had just sighed with relief.
âBang!â
The cup was put back.
Young Master Chuâs handsome face was furious: âCan this be drunk? What the hell did you make!â
âYoung Master Chu, Iâ¦.â
âGo back and brew it again!â
âYes!â Xiaoli hurriedly left with the coffee.
After another half an hour, she finally finished brewing again. Xiaoli entered the presidentâs office with the coffee, âYoung Master Chu, your coffee.â
Chu Xiuhuang looked at her with extreme impatience.
That look.
It was utterly terrifying.
The cup in Xiaoliâs nervous hand started trembling.
Luckily, Chu Xiuhuang still graciously picked up the coffee and brought it to his thin lips.
The next second.
âBang!â The cup was put back again.
âIf you canât even make a cup of coffee properly, what else can you do! Go home and sell sweet potatoes!â
Xiaoli: ââ¦â
In the end, Xiaoli returned to the office in tears.
The other colleagues comforted her, âDonât cry, itâs just the first day.â
âYeah, Young Master Chu must just not be used to it.â
âSecretary Shi said that when she first started working as Young Master Chuâs secretary, she was scolded every day too.â
âWhy donât we call Sister Shi and ask if there are any problems with the steps?â
Xiaoli, crying, dialed Shi Huanâs number and, as a resultâ¦
âSorry, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later.â
âSecretary Shi must still be in bed.â
âSister Shi is so lucky. She finally escaped from hell. She can sleep until she wakes up naturally.â
âYeah, yeah.â
**
Thankfully, Chu Xiuhuang didnât cause any more trouble after that.
Until the time reached eleven oâclock in the afternoon.
This time itâs Xiaoliuâs turn to stand up, âIâm going to order lunch for Young Master Chu.â
âGo Xiaoliu!â
âKeep going!â
âWish you success!â
The others started cheering her on.
Xiaoliu clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door of the presidentâs office.
âCome in.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chu Xiuhuang sat behind his black desk, his head resting on his chair, his face unhappy.
Damn.
Early in the morning, and no one came to serve him tea or water.
This was absolutely ridiculous!
So when Xiaoliu came in, he slapped his desk, âWhatâs going on?â
Xiaoliu trembled, âYoung Master Chu, whatâs wrong?â
âWith Secretary Shi gone, can you guys not even do the basic work?â
âYoung Master Chu, no, weâve been working hard.â Xiaoliu looked wronged.
Chu Xiuhuang pursed his lips, âWhat are you here for?â
Xiaoliu plucked up the courage to speak, âYoung Master Chu, itâs lunchtime. May I ask where you would like to eat today?â
Seeing Chu Xiuhuang remain silent, she immediately said, âDo you want Dihongâs steak, Jinsheng, orâ¦â
âDo I have to tell you what I want to eat? What do I need you as a secretary for?â
Xiaoliu was stunned, âThen⦠Young Master Chu, I understand now.â
âGet out!â
âYes.â
Xiaoliu left the office and returned to the secretaryâs room.
Seeing she wasnât crying, the colleagues immediately started praising her.
âXiaoliu is so competent!â
âXiaoli, you should learn from her!â
âIs Young Master Chu in a better mood?â
Xiaoliu, feeling at a loss, took out her cell phone to order food.
Howeverâ¦
She really had no idea which restaurant Chu Xiuhuang would want to order from!
She looked at the âChu Xiuhuangâs Order Recordâ that Shi Huan had compiled on the computer.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Not only did it record every single order, but it also provided a weekly and monthly summary of his tastes, which new restaurants had been tried out each month, and their respective first-hand experiences of them, amongst others.
It wasnât due to any innate talent, but rather attributed to hard work behind the scenes.
Xiaoliu sighed to herself as she studied the record thoroughly, and eventually ended up choosing a restaurant.
â¦
Less than half an hour later, lunch was delivered.
Xiaoliu immediately picked up the lunch box and knocked on the door of the CEOâs office.
âCome in.â
âMr. Chu, your lunch is here.â
Chu Xiuhuang was looking at his cell phone and without raising his head, he said, âJust put it down.â
Xiaoliu sighed in relief, set down the lunch box, and turned to leave, but thenâ¦
âWhat kind of secretary are you!â
Xiaoliu quickly turned around, âMr. Chu?â
âDo I have to open it myself?â
Xiaoliu frowned, quickly extended her hand to open the outer bag, took out the lunch box, and opened each one. She also took out the chopsticks and spoon and placed them properly.
âMr. Chu, please enjoy your meal.â
Xiaoliu felt like she was a servant girl from ancient times serving an emperor!
But what could she do?
The boss is always right!
Anyway, as long as you eat, thatâs all that matters.
Who would have knownâ¦
Chu Xiuhuang immediately rose from his chair, âTake it away!â
âMr. Chu?â
Chu Xiuhuang looked at her with a disgusted expression, âI donât feel like eating braised pork today. The sight of it makes me sick! What kind of secretary are you? Didnât you know Iâve been in a bad mood these days? You canât even manage such a small thing! Get out!â
Xiaoliu: ââ¦â
In the end, Xiaoliu returned to her secretaryâs office crying.
â¦
Xiaoli felt a bit better knowing that she wasnât the only one who couldnât please Mr. Chu, indicating his terrible temper!
Xiaoliu, with a gloomy face, asked, âWhat should I do? I genuinely have no idea what Mr. Chu would want to eat for lunch.â
She even mentioned he has been in a bad mood these days; could it be that even men have their times of the month?
âWhy not consult Ms. Shi? She should be awake by now.â
Xiaoliu nodded and dialed Shi Huanâs number, but thenâ¦
âIâm sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later.â
âMs. Shi hasnât woken up yet?â
âItâs almost twelve oâclock now.â
âSuch freedom is great.â
Xiaoliu was about to lose her mind, âSo what should I do now?â
Just as she finished her sentence, a tall, slender figure suddenly appeared at the door.
âMr.Chu?â Xiaoliu quickly chased after him.
âIâm stepping out for a bit. Call me if anything comes up.â
âAlright! Mr. Chu! Take care!â Xiaoliu was ecstatic.
Finally, heâs gone!
No need to serve him so painstakingly!
**
Once Chu Xiuhuang reached downstairs, he immediately spotted the black Cayenne parked there.
Damn woman!
Chu Xiuhuang clenched his teeth, got into another black Maybach and drove away.
He pulled out his cell phone and started making calls.
First, he called Lu Chenyu.
âCome out and have lunch with me.â
Lu Chenyu said, âAlready eaten.â
âCome out and have lunch with me.â
Emphasizing his tone, the stress was on accompanying him, not on having lunch!
Lu Chenyu: âI have court soon.â
âGet lost!â Chu Xiuhuang was so angry that he hung up the phone immediately.
Then, he called Nangong Ci.
âSecond Brother, whatâs up? I just woke up,â¦â
Chu Xiuhuang hung up again.
After thinking for a moment, he dialed Huo Jingshenâs number.
However, the call was not answered.
Damn it!
These heartless peopleâ¦
Not one to accompany him for a meal!
Chu Xiuhuang stared ahead, aimlessly driving the car.
An hour later, he suddenly slammed on the brakes.
Looking outside the car window, he scratched his head in disbelief.
God damn it!
He had unwittingly arrived at the Mei Jiayuan residential area!
Chu Xiuhuang, feeling exasperated, started the engine again and was about to reverse away when he noticed a couple of familiar figures in front of him.
Narrowing his brows, he got out of the car straight away.
**
Mrs. Shi, leaning on her cane, sighed heavily, âThis unfeeling creature! Our Shi Family must have really bad luck in the past few generations to end up with someone like this!â
âMother.â Qian Yulin tried to console, âHuanhuan probably didnât do it on purpose.â
âYou think she didnât do it on purpose? Her cellphoneâs off! I canât get through! Itâs been a few days now, hasnât it? What on earth does she want? Is she trying to drive me to my grave?â
Mrs. Shi was so furious that her head nearly blew off steam.
The 20th of every month was the day to repay their debts, and this reckless girl didnât even pay this time!
