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-general’s 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. “The 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.”
The director of the Strategic Planning Department immediately added, “I think we might as well pack up and leave now. When something goes wrong on the project, if they push the blame to us, we’ll end up more miserably.”
The director of the Finance Department sighed. “In 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, I’m afraid that we’ll go broke very soon.”
The director of Human Resources said, “The three masters sent in a lot of their own people this month. I’ve been busy interviewing them and even got no time to take a break.”
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, “Secretary Si, I heard that your works are all taken by the secretaries of the other three masters.”
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, “The 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.”
The directors looked at each other.
The director of the project department said earnestly, “That’s 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 masters’ 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.”
“Also…”
Secretary Si didn’t 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, “Secretary Si, you should be in contact with the CEO. When will he be back?”
The others looked at him expectantly.
Secretary Si pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and asked instead of answering, “The fact that the CEO changed his phone card after he went out indicates that he doesn’t want to know anything about business. Do you think he will contact me?”
They thought to themselves, “Why not?”
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, “Thank you for the wine. My family has a curfew, so goodbye.”
Everyone was struck dumb.
Secretary Si didn’t 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 someone’s 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, “Do you have eyes? Can’t you see that my car is in front of you? Today…”
A business card was shown to the young man. While the young man was stunned, Secretary Si said expressionlessly, “This is my business card. Send me the repair bill .”
The young man came back to his senses and said unhappily, “Do you think compensation is enough? Let me tell you…”
“We’ll compensate you for your injury as well.” Secretary Si would get grumpy and a little hot-tempered if he didn’t have his meal. “If you’re not satisfied with that, you can choose to file a lawsuit.”
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. “Oh, you are Secretary Si. I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you. Don’t take it to heart. I’ll fix the car myself. You don’t have to pay a penny… Secretary Si, you must be very busy. I shouldn’t waste your precious time.”
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, “Send me the repair bill, and I’ll transfer the money to you.”
“That’s just a small sum of money. It’s alright, it’s alright! I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Guo Zhen, who just joined the Qi Corporation’s security department. I hope we’ll have a good time working together, Secretary Si.”
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, “CEO.”
Qi Yihan, “If you have time, come to my villa.”
Secretary Si, “Yes, right away.”
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.
…
When Secretary Si arrived at Qi Yihan’s 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, “Mr. Si, Master is waiting for you in the living room. Please.”
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. “When did Madam give birth? Why are her kids so big already?”
