Linda glanced at Yueyue and turned to look at Xiao Jing, only to find that he was frowning. She could not help asking in a low voice, “Yueyue, have you really offended Mr. Xiao Jing?”

Why else would Mr. Xiao Jing have given only Yueyue a dark look while smiling at the others? And he looked horrible when he was giving a dark look… It seemed that Yueyue had been blacklisted by Mr. Xiao Jing.

As Linda thought of this, a smile flashed across her face as she looked at Yueyue and said, “Then go about your work while we go to Mr. Xiao Jing’s office. I’ll tell you about what Mr. Xiao Jing wanted us to do when we get back.”

The other two secretaries were already urging her to go. Linda said “okay” and hurriedly ran over to them. Soon, the little secretaries had come up to Xiao Jing and greeted him.

Xiao Jing looked at the secretaries with a smile and pointed to Linda, instructing, “Call your secretary general here.”

The secretary general was soon called over by Linda. Xiao Jing glanced at them all and smiled. He urged, “Come on, introduce yourselves. We’ve worked together for so long, but I still don’t know your names.”

The secretary general looked doubtfully at Xiao Jing with a frown, but Xiao Jing didn’t look at her, so she could only stand out, point to the secretaries and introduce them one by one from left to right. “Linda, Katherine, Selina, Xiao Xing and Wen Mei.”

Xiao Jing looked at them one by one from Linda. Finally, he nodded, looked at the secretary general and raised his eyebrows, asking, “Merry, would you like some coffee?”

The secretary general, Merry, looked at Xiao Jing in surprise, but he smiled and continued, “I’ll have someone buy coffee for you. What would you like to drink?”

The secretaries looked surprised yet happy. How lucky they were today. Mr. Xiao Jing invited them to have coffee and even asked them what they would like to drink! How nice he was…

“Can I really drink coffee?” Selina asked, looking at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing smiled, raised his eyebrows and looked at Selina. “Yes, what would you like?” He looked so gentle, as if he were talking to his girlfriend.

Selina blushed. “Can I have a cup of mocha?”

“Sure.” Xiao Jing suddenly cast a look at Yueyue who was still sitting in the office area, frowned and called, “Yueyue, come here.”

Suddenly being called, Yueyue felt her heart jerk sharply. She got up from her seat, walked over to Xiao Jing and with a lowered head, asked, “President Xiao, how can I help you?”

Xiao Jing grunted, pointed at Linda and said, “They want coffee. Buy some for them and put it on my bill.”

There was a special rest area in Qiao’s International Group where there was a Starbucks Cafe. It was close and Xiao Jing liked the coffee there, so he usually bought coffee on credit.

All the secretaries began to order coffee happily. In the end, they ordered two cups of cappuccinos and three cups of mocha. Xiao Jing looked at the secretary general, Merry and narrowed his eyes as he asked, “Merry, what would you like to drink?”

Merry answered with a proper smile, “I don’t like coffee. No, thanks.”

The secretaries all said what a pity and then thanked Yueyue, who smiled wordlessly. Then she looked at Xiao Jing and Xiao Jing said, “You can also buy what you want. Put it on my bill as well.”

Yueyue hurriedly waved her hand and shook her head. “No, I ate too much for lunch and I’m too full to drink coffee.” She felt that drinking President Xiao’s coffee would shorten her lifespan, so she had better not drink it.

Xiao Jing smiled and told her to be quick. Yueyue quickly ran to the elevator. Xiao Jing looked at the secretaries and gave a subtle smile. “Have you all finished your work yet? I saw you girls standing there chatting.”

Selina smiled. “Yes, my task is almost finished, so I was standing there to relax.”

Xiao Jing nodded. “Indeed, it’s good to relax after work. Go to my office and take a rest. Anyway, you have nothing to do now, so you can wait for your coffee there.”

Fascinated by Xiao Jing’s gentleness, the secretaries nodded and ran into his office. Xiao Jing looked at them and his eyes gleamed coldly. At this time, Merry called out to Xiao Jing and said in a low voice, “President Xiao, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to work. There should be someone staying in the secretariat on duty.”

Xiao Jing glanced at Merry and smiled. “Merry, are you secretaries busy? You have a lot of work to do?”

“Well, no. Not that busy.” Merry stood awkwardly.

Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows and said coldly, “If you’re not busy, go to my office too. I happen to need you to do a favor.”

Merry looked at Xiao Jing suspiciously, but she didn’t find anything wrong with Xiao Jing and didn’t know what he wanted to do, so she could only nod and walk into Xiao Jing’s office. Xiao Jing’s office was very large. Although there were five secretaries sitting in it, it still seemed very spacious. Xiao Jing entered his office. Seeing the secretaries standing in the middle of the room, he pointed to the sofa and said, “Have a seat, please. The coffee hasn’t arrived yet. Wait for a moment while I deal with the documents.”

There were only some documents on his desk; all the other documents had disappeared. The secretaries thought President Xiao had likely put those documents into the file cabinet because there was too much to handle.

The secretaries questioned Xiao Jing’s capability in their heart while sitting full of expectations down on the black leather sofa in Xiao Jing’s office. Xiao Jing raised his eyes, glanced at them, and then lowered his head to deal with the documents in his hands.

Five minutes later, the door of Xiao Jing’s office was knocked on. Xiao Jing put down his pen, stood up and buttoned up his open suit. His series of movements was so handsome that the secretaries all took a deep breath. How attractive President Xiao was when he was busy at work!

He looked so handsome when he was processing the documents!

Yueyue came in carrying coffee. She looked at Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing signaled her to distribute the coffee to the secretaries and walked out from behind the desk. The secretaries took their coffee and thanked Xiao Jing. However, Xiao Jing didn’t answer them but sat on an armchair, leaned backward, crossed his leg and asked with a cold look, “Do you still need dessert? Or do you need melon seeds? Snacks?”

The secretaries, including the secretary general and Yueyue, all looked at Xiao Jing in surprise, but he didn’t look like he was joking at all. He looked at the secretaries coldly and asked again, “Don’t you hear what I said? Since you want to play, you should play as hard as you can. Dessert is a perfect match for coffee, and melon seed is also a norm, isn’t it? Wouldn’t it be nice to watch a movie eating chips and snacks? Why are you all silent?”

The secretaries froze with their coffee in their hands.

Yueyue was the first to get Xiao Jing’s implications. She silently murmured “rest in peace” for the other secretaries, including the secretary general.
