The next day, Li An’an went back to work. She brought steamed buns and soy milk that she had made for breakfast.
This time, she brought steamed buns with dried plum vegetables that had been fried with fat and lean meat. She had also added some sugar, which suited the kids’ taste, and her own as well.
She took out the bun and had just taken a bite when she saw Chu Yichen coming downstairs. His handsome face was expressionless, and he was knotting his tie as he came down the stairs. He was obviously in a bad mood.
Butler Chu didn’t know that Li An’an was returning to work, so he had asked Auntie Zhang to prepare toast, ham, fried eggs, and milk in the kitchen. When he saw Li An’an, he hesitated whether to ask Auntie Zhang to continue with her preparation.
Li An’an saw Chu Yichen walking towards her with a bun in his mouth. He was neither eating it nor getting rid of it, and seemed to be in a hurry.
“Morning!” she hurriedly swallowed the bun in her mouth and shouted as he approached,
“You’re late this morning. Were you expecting me to send a car to pick you up?” Chu Yichen said in an unfriendly tone as he buttoned up his coat.
Li An’an was speechless. It was as if he had eaten gunpowder all morning. What a waste of a handsome face.
Chu Yichen saw that Li An’an didn’t reply, he headed to the dining room. Butler
Chu knew the reason though. The Jin family was too greedy! Without Young Master’s protection, the Jin family wouldn’t have developed so quickly. But they weren’t grateful at all! They had challenged Young Master’s bottom line time and time again. If this were to continue, even Master and Madam may not be able to ease the relationship on returning from Korea.
Having noted Chu Yichen’s bad mood, Li An’an wasn’t about to ask for a rebuff. She quietly ate her breakfast.
Chu Yichen ate his breakfast while reading the newspaper. He ate two mouthfuls of fried eggs and put down his chopsticks. Auntie Zhang did a good job, but he had no appetite.
He raised his head and looked at Li An’an, who was eating with relish. She was holding a bun in her hand and taking small bites seriously with a satisfied expression.
He smirked and strode over. He snatched the bun from her hand and took a big bite.
“I’m halfway through it. Didn’t you have any breakfast? Why did you snatch mine?” Li An’an exclaimed. The next second, the other two she had, had also been snatched away.
Chu Yichen felt much better when he saw how pitiful she was. “You can eat my breakfast instead, and come with me to the office afterwards.”
Although the buns were sugared and slightly sweet, they tasted pretty good together with the dried vegetables.
“To the office?” Li An’an was displeased. Why is he taking her to his office for no reason?
“I’m short of a personal secretary. You’re just right for the job.”
Li An’an rejected him. “No, I didn’t graduate from university. I don’t think I’m qualified to work at Chu Enterprise.”
Chu Yichen said bluntly, “It’s okay. I don’t expect you to do any high-level work. You can make my drinks. I think highly of you.”
Li An’an gritted her teeth. How despicable of him to belittle her like that.
Chu Yichen handed Li An’an over to Li Cheng and went to the morning meeting.
“I’ll take you to the secretary office.” Li Cheng was stunned for a moment before he broke into a smile. Li An’an was not qualified to enter the company, but she had some abilities that others could not have. At the very least, it would make the CEO less gloomy from now on.
The few secretaries in the secretary office stood up enthusiastically when they saw the newcomer.
“Xiao Zhang, she’s CEO Chu’s new secretary. She’s mainly in charge of
President Chu’s daily life. Please guide her.”
Xiao Zhang agreed readily. “Okay!”
Li An’an wasn’t used to working officially and felt uneasy. Xiao Zhang, on the other hand, was easy to get along with. She took the initiative to show Li An’an to her desk.
“I really admire you. You actually applied for a position as CEO Chu’s personal secretary! You’re too bold. Work hard and persevere. I think highly of you.”
Everyone, place your bets. Ten cups of milk tea. Let’s bet on how long An’an can last. I’ll bet a month.”
“Half a month”
“One Day.” The staff of the secretary office were very enthusiastic people.
“An’an, we’re not targeting you. It’s mainly because the secretary office is under pressure, hope you understand.”
Xiao Zhang was glad that she would not have the stress of having to face CEO Chu from now on!
Li An’an was flabbergasted!
Bess looked in from the doorway, glanced at Li An’an and walked away..
