Chapter 194: Too Naive
Translator:HenyeeEditor:Henyee
Squatting outside the door and listening to the sounds in the office, the secretaries covered their mouths and secretly ran away. Linda smiled and said, Mr. Xiao Jing is so cute. Its funny he put on an act in front of us. Does he think we dont know what kind of a person he really is?
Katherine laughed. But its so funny to see Mr. Xiao put on an act, isnt it? How I wish Mr. Xiao Jing could remain so cute forever!
The secretary that was scolded by Xiao Jing shrank her neck and looked at the crowd before taking a step back and quickly walking back towards their office, muttering as she walked, You are so nave.
Yueyue, I noticed that you havent been looking right recently. What happened? Linda asked, walking over.
The corner of Yueyues mouth twitched. She glanced in the direction of Xiao Jings office nearby and answered, Because I was unlucky enough to see President Xiao Jings true face. Hes not that cute and nice man you described, but a wolf in sheeps clothing. Youd better not mess with President Xiao at this time, or else youll regret it.
Thinking of how she was scolded that day, Yueyue swallowed her saliva and continued, By the way, President Xiao asked you to check the documents before submitting them to President Qiao. Have you checked them carefully?
A secretary said, These documents werent submitted to President Qiao. Dont worry. Besides, Im sure Mr. Xiao Jing wont be able to finish all those documents today. And the documents have probably been checked before being submitted by the departments. We dont have to take it so seriously. If their documents are approved, thats because theyve done a good job, and if they arent, thats because theyre out of luck. Why should we bother to offend the departments?
Yueyue sneered as she looked at the secretary and sighed helplessly. Were working in the presidents office. Even the department managers have to be respectful towards us. Were like trusted imperial maids to an emperor of ancient times and everyone has to curry favor with us, so we can offend the subordinates but cant annoy our superiors. We can make the subordinates lose their jobs with a word, but our superiors can make us lose our job with a word too!
Linda remembered that Yueyue had been very serious in reviewing the documents in the past two days. She had asked her to drink coffee with her several times, but Yueyue refused and concentrated on her jobs. Was Mr. Xiao Jing really that horrible? Thinking of this, Linda doubtfully said, Yueyue, I dont think its as serious as you said. Mr. Xiao Jing is a nice person. I met him when I bought coffee outside the company last week, and he bought me a cup of coffee.
The crowd made fun of her and Linda smiled as she added, It was just a coincidence. Mr. Xiao Jing paid for me.
Yueyue shrugged. Soon youll know that Mr. Xiao Jing is indeed a very nice personas long as you dont provoke him. Otherwise, he can be very horrible.
With that, she continued to examine the files on her desk. The secretaries looked at the files on her desk in surprise. Didnt you submit these files to Mr. Xiao Jing for approval?
Yueyue shook her head and looked at the documents on her desk. I havent finished reviewing these documents yet. Ill take them to President Xiao for approval when I think they dont have any problem.
Linda pursed her lips. Ive submitted the unchecked documents to President Xiao to avoid delays, but no one knows whether hell come to work or not tomorrow She was wondering why Qiaos International Group could operate so well. President Qiao only stayed in the company for five or six days a month. As for President Xiao as an important decision-maker of the company, he also didnt pay much attention on his job. As for the vice president even the secretaries knew that the vice president didnt stand on President Qiaos side, yet Qiaos International Group was still running very well Wasnt it strange?
Ten minutes later, the secretaries had finished their afternoon tea, but Yueyue was still absorbedly examining the documents on her desk and even making notes. The other secretaries aside from the secretary general all came to Yueyues desk and smiled. Hey, Yueyue, you guessed wrong. President Xiao has been reading the documents for 20 minutes, but he probably hasnt finished two documents yet. Since you havent finished these documents either, it seems that you and Mr. Xiao Jing have to work overtime together tonight Good luck
Yueyue looked up and smiled at them. I cant help it. I dont want to be scolded by President Xiao. Hes really horrible when hes scolding someone. Id rather work overtime than be scolded by him.
Linda came up to Yueyue, folded her arms against her chest and looked at Yueyue with a smile. Yueyue, youre really wrong. President Xiao will read the documents carefully? I dont believe it Maybe now She glanced at the watch on her wrist and smiled. Maybe President Xiao has finished signing the documents now.
The others echoed her and some even mocked Yueyue, saying, Yueyue, are you trying to attract President Xiaos attention? Do you think you can attract his attention by working overtime?
Yueyue didnt say anything. Someone else asked, Or did you do something annoying and offend President Xiao last time, which is why he scolded you?
Yueyues face turned pale when she thought of what happened last time. She said, I have to work. Dont bother me.
Oh, she got angry
Just when the secretaries were going to attack Yueyue again, the door of Xiao Jings office suddenly opened. Xiao Jing appeared, leaning against the doorframe and looking over at their side. Yueyue coughed and the crowd turned around only to see Xiao Jing standing there and looking so handsome. Some of them were almost mesmerized by his charm. Xiao Jing smiled at them and the secretaries almost screamed in excitement. A secretary even glared at Yueyue and said in a low voice, Look, like I said, Mr. Xiao Jing wont care. Youre too sensitive, Yueyue.
Linda also looked at Xiao Jings direction with sparkling eyes and said, Yes, Yueyue, Mr. Xiao Jing is such a nice person. He cant be as horrible as you said
When Xiao Jing saw their reactions, an icy gleam flickered across his eyes. He smiled as he reached out a hand and crooked his finger at them. Linda found that Xiao Jing was looking at her and blushed. She pointed at herself, but Xiao Jing shook his head with a smile, pointed at them and beckoned them all to come over. Yueyue also stood up in terror, but seeing her stand up, Xiao Jing frowned as he fell into brief thought before gesturing for Yueyue to sit down with a finger.
Yueyue pointed at herself in doubt. Did he mean she could just stay here? Xiao Jing nodded. Seeing that, Yueyue felt like she had come back to life again. She hurriedly lowered her head and continued to read the documents. It seemed that she had dodged a bullet.
