Chapter 14 The workplace rookie

  The peoplein the conference room werewaiting for the document. Le Xuewei had to go to the secretarial room outsidefor help.

  Outside the room, there were four secretaries, subordinate to the President’s Office, responsible for the work assigned by the President. Normally, they took care ofword-related affairsand reception. The ones qualified to know about thecorebusiness were the President’s personal assistantand special assistant…In other words, the President’s personal assistantand special assistanthad been Hao Xiyin and Ni Jun; now,the President’s personal assistantand special assistant were Le Xuewei and Ni Jun.

  “Hello, predecessors, I would like to askaboutthe document President needs for today’s meeting.Do you know which one it is?”

  The four secretaries exchangedtheirglances and laughed,“Well, we don’t know.We are responsible for work outsidethe President’s office.Suchimportant things are out of our hands. Besides, didn’t Secretary Hao finish the handover with you just now? Secretary Hao is very careful. Why didn’tshetell you where the documentis? Didn’tyou remember clearly?”

  Thewordsseemed tomakesense, but Le Xuewei clearly feltthe hostility from them! Same with Hao Xiyin, they didn’t welcome hereither.

  Without help from the secretarial office, Le Xuewei had to go back and find it herself.

  “Well, she’s condescending! She’s a student who haven’t graduated.How could she be in such a highposition?”

  “That’s right.She even forced outSecretary Hao. Secretary Hao has been servingPresident for many years...”

  “Aha, isn’tit obvious? President has a thing forher novelty. Let’s see if she can be so arrogantforever!”

  …

  The conference roomcalledagain to ask for the document. Le Xuewei was anxious, since there were lots of documents in the cabinet, she didn’t know which one it was!

  As a result, Ni Jun came back to fetch the document.

  Hence,Le Xuewei was criticized on her first day ofwork...

  Han Chengyi criticized Le Xuewei afterhe returned to his office,“Aren’t you very good? Can’t you do something as simple as sending documents?”

  “I...” Le Xuewei argued, “It’s not my fault.That Secretary Hao, she...”

  “Enough!” Han Chengyi raised his hand andfrowned, saying,“Stop making excuse. If you can’t do it well, you should admit your fault. No matter what has happened, the result is that you have delayed the meeting. Our partnersare alsoin the meetingtoday. Your delaymadethe partners very unhappy, you know?”

  Le Xueweiwhocouldn’t explain herself choseto besilent

  “What? Youfeel unhappy for being criticized?

  “No.”

  “Go back to your work!” Han Chengyi scolded herfor a little while and felt a bitregretful when he saw herdroppingher head. “It is the first day for thegirl to stepinto society. Was Itoo harsh for herjust now?”He thought.But therewas noother way. Serving as hispersonal assistantwas not an easy thing.

  Le Xuewei returned to her desk silently.She, not familiar with theaffairs, she hadstraightened outthe work flow briefly. After that, shefound loads ofwork to be done! If she didn’t hurry up, she wouldn’tbe able to get offwork today.

  It was until noon did shesort out some ideas.

  Han Chengyi and Ni Jun went to a business dinner together. Theydidn’t take herbecause she failed toclear up everything on the first day. All the people in the secretarial room went to lunch, leaving Le Xuewei alonebusyworking.

  By the time shefelthungry, the secretariesoutsidethe President’s officehad returned from lunch. Shecould vaguely hear them laughingand talking.

  Le Xueweifelt strange why were thesesecretariesof the President’s Office of D·S Group idle all day long?.

  “Predecessors, haveyou donewith your work?” Le Xuewei,curiousas she was, went out to ask.Shealso wanted to go out to find something to eat.

  Those secretaries who made eye contact with each other again totally excludedand isolatedher.

  “Yes! We have finished all work.”

  “Ah! Sofast!” These people said calmly.Le Xuewei nodded in admiration, thinking that they were efficientand she seemed to betoo slow. She, asa newcomer, had to work harder.

  “Secretary Le, where are you going?” A secretary asked her,pretending to be concernedabout her.

  “I haven’t eaten yet.” Le Xuewei answered.

  “Yo!” The secretaryraised herhand ostentatiouslyto look at herwatch and sighed, “How unfortunate you are? Thelunch-break timehas passed.I’m afraid you can’t leave your job now, Secretary Le.”

  Le Xuewei checkedthe time. It was two o’clock. What should she do? Shewasvery hungry. Since it wasthe first day of work, she didn’t eat anything in the morning.

  She was hesitatingwhen the door of the office was pushed open. Han Chengyiand Ni Juncame back.

  The secretaries immediately returned totheir seats and seemed to bebusyworking. Le Xuewei was surprised. “Didn’t they just say they have finished all work?”She thought.

  Han Chengyi, having seen Le Xuewei stand in the doorway, lookedat her with concern between his eyebrowsand asked,“Whatare youstanding here for?”

  Since Bosscameback, how daredLe Xuewei take off herpost to eat? Then, shehad to cover herstomach and said, “It’s all right. I’ll go back to work.”

  Saying this, she turned around and returned to her desk in distress,withher facial features wrinkled. Le Xuewei was busy handling piles of document,wishing tosplit into several clones of herselfto finish the work. In addition, she had to spare time to worry about her stomach. Could shepower through todaytillgetting off duty?

  The working hours at the topfloorwere from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., but itwasclear that Le Xuewei couldn’t get off work at 5 p.m. today.

  As soon asit wasfive o’clock, all the people in the secretarial room left. Only she and Han Chengyi were in the office. By six o’clock, Han Chengyi also finished his work.

  Han Chengyi had seen her sitting there,busyworkingall day, and now he hadtime tohave a talk with her. He paced to her desk, sat down against the edge of the desk, picked up a file document on the desk,and looked through it. Then, hefoundsomething wrong.

  “What are you busy doingall day today?”

  President Han feltit was necessary to teach the workplace rookie some rules.

  “Huh? Tidy up thedocuments!” Le Xueweiwas toobusy to raise her head.

  Han Chengyi raised the corner of his mouth and sneered,“You must be a good student who likes to take notes at school.”

  “...” Le Xuewei looked up at Han Chengyiand asked,“What do you mean?”

  “What do I mean?” Han Chengyi sneeredand answered,“I mean,you are stupid!”

  “You!” Le Xuewei was angry,with her round eyeswide open. “The man is not qualified to call me stupid!Itisnot easyfor meto fulfill these taskson the first day ofwork. Why does healways pick on me?”She thought.

  “Hum!” Han Chengyi threw thefile back to the desktop and pressed his slender fingers on the folder. His handsome face didn’t showany tiredness ofhavinga busy dayof work. He asked, “You didn’t assign work to the secretarial office today? All the things I toldyou to do are still piled up here?

  “…” Le Xuewei nodded. “Is there anything wrong with this? Itisnot my fault beingslow,but he has told me to dotoo many things!”She thought.
