”Sorry to interrupt.” The woman’s calm and composed voice was quite familiar. “Manager Ye, this report is not done correctly. Please modify it yourself in the future.” A document was placed in front of the business manager, whose mouth was wide open.
High heels clicked on the marble floor, the sound crisp, drawing the attention and gaze of everyone present.
“Manager He, if you want to smoothly promote this event, I suggest you put more effort into the meeting.” A document was slammed in front of the general affairs department manager.
Then several managers were called out by name. After she made a round and returned to her seat, she pulled out a letter from her chest and with a “slap” placed it in front of Long Jie. “This takes effect immediately.” She gave him a cold look and then turned to walk away.
Long Jie looked down. The words “Resignation Letter” were printed on the envelope.
He jumped up. “De Nu! Wait!” He chased after her.
De Nu?!
Whispers in the meeting room turned into hushed conversations. Oh my!
“Was that Secretary Pang just now?”
“When did she become so beautiful?”
“She looks at least ten years younger!”
He Yuhua watched the CEO chase after her, then looked at everyone’s shocked and somewhat awkward expressions, and couldn’t help but shake her head. “Alas – I don’t know why so many people think Sister Pang isn’t a match for the CEO?!”
“He Yuhua, why don’t you tell us… what abilities does she have?” When mentioning De Nu’s name, Manager Ye even shrank a bit. Having just been publicly reprimanded was truly embarrassing!
“Yes, yes!”
“In terms of appearance, everyone just saw her, flawless; in terms of work ability, you should know best. Which department manager’s report has problems, whose documents are unacceptable – she probably knows it all. After all, Sister Pang is a top graduate from T University, even with a master’s in finance. Did everyone not know this?” He Yuhua said proudly. She had done quite a bit of investigation on Pang De Nu recently!
“Really?” Exclamations of surprise arose.
Xie Qier clapped his hands. “Looks like you’ve done your homework. But there’s something else you don’t know.”
“What?” He Yuhua’s face turned red when she saw Xie Qier.
“This beautiful woman you’ve been calling ‘Sister Pang’ is actually younger than you.” Xie Qier announced casually, very pleased with the surprised looks he anticipated.
“How… is that possible?” He Yuhua said.
“She’s around twenty-five. Isn’t that younger than you?”
“Ah!” He Yuhua also couldn’t escape the line of surprise.
On the other side, Long Jie was not so leisurely. He grabbed De Nu’s arm, only to receive an icy glare.
“De Nu…” he helplessly let go. “Don’t be so impulsive. I won’t accept your resignation.” His head was about to explode. If he let her leave, he might truly end up as a discarded husband.
If only he had spoken up earlier. He had thought it would be fun to see how she would handle the scandal. But she handled it brilliantly, and he was very smoothly “handled” instead!
“I don’t care if you accept it or not, I’m leaving. Long Jie, I’m telling you, I’ve had enough!” She gave him a cool look. “Others think being the CEO’s new love is so great, how stupid! I, Pang De Nu, don’t have the energy to wade through your murky waters. Our entanglement ends here!”
“Don’t be like this. It’s my fault. I admit I should have stepped forward earlier…”
“That’s one reason, but definitely not the only reason. Long Jie, do you know you’re inherently flawed?” De Nu looked at him sadly, only now a trace of sorrow appearing in her eyes.
“Inherently flawed?” How could he, a golden boy, ever think he was “inherently flawed”?!
“Yes! Because you’re too good, everyone has spoiled you. But for me, these conditions are just a burden.” She sighed, her voice carrying a tired pain. “I should have stuck to my original principles. Love is not suitable for me. Let’s end this!”
Deng Nu, can I borrow your computer?” Xiao Qi asked tremblingly that day. “I need to do my homework, but my computer is broken…”
Deng Nu looked cold-faced, and Xiao Qi was about to go to an internet cafe when Deng Nu spoke.
”Go ahead, no need for me to tell you where, right?” She pointed to the computer in the corner of the desk, still curled up in her chair reading.
”Oh!” Xiao Qi grabbed a stack of materials, opened the computer, and started working.
Soon, Xiao Qi called out, “Deng Nu, your system automatically receives emails. You have an incoming message, do you want to see it?”
”What email?” Deng Nu casually flipped through her magazine, asking lazily.
Does she want her help to check? Xiao Qi nervously thought. She switched to the email software window and looked. “It’s an electronic newsletter! The title is: ‘Does Everyone Love the CEO?'”
Deng Nu jumped up from the bed. “What did you say?”
Xiao Wei was startled. “Do you want to take a look?” She backed away.
At this moment, Xiao Mi, who was watching TV in the living room, heard the noise and ran in. “What happened?”
Xiao Qi secretly shook her head, and Xiao Mi restrained herself from asking further.
Deng Nu, sitting in front of the computer and opening the email, had an interesting expression.
”Does Everyone Love the CEO?” Xiao Mi couldn’t help but lean over to look, even reading the content aloud. “The previous report was obviously wrong. If everyone loved the CEO, the CEO’s secretary Pang Deng Nu would not have heartlessly abandoned the CEO’s boyfriend who deeply loved her. Clearly, the CEO’s halo does not apply to every woman. Poor Long Jie, who only loves this woman who doesn’t love the CEO…”
Deng Nu’s face turned red. “Nonsense!”
”This is basically a love letter, what electronic newsletter?” Xiao Mi lazily stretched. “Tell your Long Jie, just write a love letter to someone, why send an electronic newsletter—men are so cheesy and interesting!”
Xiao Qi saw Deng Nu’s expression soften, with a shy and uncomfortable look, knowing she had softened, quickly took the opportunity to persuade. “It seems Long Jie loves you very much. Just forgive him and don’t fight with him anymore.”
”Forgive him for what?” Deng Nu asked glumly.
Xiao Qi was stunned. Right! Forgive him for what? Quick, think of his offenses.
”There’s nothing to forgive. You’re just being difficult,” Xiao Mi was not polite this time, anyway, Deng Nu was usually like this, now it was her turn to speak the truth. “Alas, I didn’t expect Deng Nu, who seems rational, to be so girlish when it comes to love.”
”Who’s girlish?” Deng Nu gave her a sideways glance.
”Yes! You’re a big woman, so Mr. Long deserves to offend you and be half-killed by you,” Xiao Mi said coolly, how could she miss this rare opportunity to tease her?
”How have I half-killed him? What did I do?” These days she had been staying at home like a rice worm, behaving very well! She had never been this idle in her life!
”You didn’t do anything and still made him miserable. I heard he’s in a bad mood, and without you in the office, work is a mess. His low spirits and insomnia have made him look haggard.”
He’s having insomnia? He looks haggard? “How do you know?” Deng Nu suppressed her urge to ask more and instead provoked Xiao Mi.
”I just know!” Xiao Mi shrugged playfully. “Oh, by the way, there was a call for you just now from your former assistant secretary He Yu Hua. Want to take it?”
”Now? Is she still online?” Deng Nu asked in surprise.
”Yes, what else?” Xiao Mi looked innocent.
”You’ve been chatting with me for so long?” Deng Nu glared at her.
Xiao Mi shrugged. “How would I know if you want to take the call?” As soon as she finished speaking, Deng Nu ran out.
Xiao Mi and Xiao Qi looked at each other and smiled, then followed her out.
”Hello.” Deng Nu picked up the phone.
