“Haha, admire me!” Xie Qier swagger in and sat directly on the sofa. “What fragrant coffee, made by Secretary Pang? I want some too.” Before Long Jie could respond, he had already run out to ask Secretary Pang for coffee.
Soon, he ran back in. “I take back my suggestion to change secretaries. Having such a capable secretary isn’t bad, enough to forgive her for disrupting office decor.”
Somehow, this made Long Jie a bit unhappy.
“What are you here for? If you’re so free, come help me with some work!” Long Jie pushed the documents, speaking coldly.
“So impatient already?” Xie Qier’s rogue personality remained unchanged. “Let me tell you, I know what those employees have been whispering about.” He slapped a stack of papers onto Long Jie’s desk.
Long Jie picked up the A4 printed paper, and his brow furrowed as he read.
Pute Technology Group Unmarried Male Investigation Report?
“This electronic report was just published, and its popularity is beyond imagination. It’s spreading like wildfire in Pute Group, and only we few who were compared in the report don’t know about it!”
The report categorized the men in Pute Group into different types, and the examples chosen were all well-known figures in the company, including the two men discussing it right now.
“Who published this electronic report?” Long Jie glared at the paper, as if it might bite him.
Oh? The vice president suggests that the president change his secretary? Is it because I’m not doing my job well?” Pang Dewei’s eyes brightened, asking seemingly harmlessly.
Long Jie glanced at her and somehow knew this was a sign of her anger. However, he had no intention of rescuing Xie Qi’er, after all, this man was really too talkative!
“Yes! I say, Secretary Pang, you really don’t know how to dress. Look, for example, your legs, which are actually quite slim…” He raised his hand to prevent anyone from interrupting him. “Don’t deny it, I’ve observed this. I’ve always been keen in observing women. Anyway, your legs aren’t bad, so why hide them? And you’re not that old, right? Dressing like this…”
Pang Dewei’s face showed no particular expression, but Long Jie was very interested in observing her subtle facial changes. He discovered that Secretary Pang was actually quite interesting. For instance, right now, she was clearly unhappy, but she wouldn’t argue with Xie Qi’er, and even had a polite smile at the corner of her mouth.
“I’m sorry my attire made the vice president uncomfortable. Fortunately, the vice president’s secretary is not me,” Dewei responded.
“Right, fortunately, but you have your good points too!” The shameless Xie Qi’er said boldly. “By the way, Secretary Pang, how old are you?” Based on his observation, she was between thirty and thirty-five!
“President, is there anything else? If not, I’ll go now. Remember you have a meeting at three o’clock.” Dewei turned to leave, and before closing the door, she said: “Twenty-five.”
“What? Is this some kind of code?” Xie Qi’er asked Long Jie, bewildered.
Long Jie leaned back on the sofa, laughing leisurely. “She’s answering your question.” How did he only now realize Xie Qi’er was so slow?
“Answering what question?”
“You can’t be so stupid as to forget what you just asked?” Long Jie gave him a contemptuous look.
“Hey, what’s with that look… could it be… ” He gasped. “You mean she’s twenty-five? Impossible!” He stood up in surprise, almost spilling his coffee.
“If I’m not mistaken about her records, she joined Putte right after graduation. I’ve used this secretary for two years, so I don’t think she’s lying to you,” Long Jie’s mood seemed to have improved.
“But… but she… ” She looked nothing like twenty-five! “He Yuhua even calls her ‘Sister Pang’, and He Yuhua is almost thirty, right?” Ah! He knew the details of unmarried Putte women so well, how could he have misjudged Secretary Pang’s age!
“Probably!” In Long Jie’s mind, He Yuhua was Pang Dewei’s person, and he rarely gave her orders, though she often looked at him with passionate eyes, he never responded. This was why he wanted to create a cold image – it could avoid so many troubles!
“Oh my God!” Xie Qi’er was deeply shocked. “I think I need to go research. Could my status as Putte’s first white knight be in jeopardy?”
The “first white knight” was a title he gave himself!
Actually, what he urgently wanted to do was subscribe to an electronic newsletter, and make sure no one knew about it. Ah! Dreaming of a dream lover is really difficult!
“Take care, remember to submit your work on time,” Long Jie returned to his seat, ready to enter work mode.
Looking at the electronic newsletters on the desk, he suddenly found it amusing. “I want to hold you in my arms and tell you I’ve loved you long ago, la la la–“
He Yuhua was tidying up the documents on her desk and looking in a small mirror, preparing to touch up her makeup, her mood both excited and happy.
“You seem so happy today?” Pang Dewei couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes! Later there’s a staff association competition. Today it’s basketball. I heard the president is participating too, look, he’s already gone to prepare,” He Yuhua held her face, looking like her dreams were about to come true.
Recently, Putte Group’s staff association had been organizing a series of sports competitions, not only to enhance everyone’s sports atmosphere but also to provide an outlet for employees with high daily work pressure. The basement floor of the Putte Group building was planned as a full-floor fitness and activity center, and these competitions were all held there.
“The president is competing, why do you look like you’re the champion?” Dewei said with a smile, actually waiting for He Yuhua to leave the office so she could do her next task.
“Of course! Don’t you know? You definitely didn’t subscribe to that electronic newsletter I told you about,” the gossip-loving He Yuhua couldn’t help but stop her steps and lean in closer.
Pang Dewei wasn’t close to anyone, nor was she friendly with anyone. She didn’t even have a lunch companion, but many people liked to chat with her while delivering documents. Thus, she was well-informed about gossip from various departments.
Everyone liked to tell her gossip probably because she looked like someone who wouldn’t spread “secrets”. Therefore, she became a central hub of “secrets”, grasping about 90% of Putte’s departmental dynamics. For the remaining 10%, she just needed to show a bit of confusion, and the gossip-teller would naturally explain everything clearly, just like He Yuhua was about to do now.
“I didn’t subscribe. Isn’t it paid?” she responded casually.
“It’s not much money, just one or two hundred dollars. You can see such a popular electronic newsletter, it’s even more exciting than magazines!” He Yuhua lowered her voice. “You know, each issue lets everyone vote for their favorite male type. The candidates are all the company’s current hot stars, the objects of female admiration.”
“So what?”
“Don’t you know? Everyone gets three votes, and the president has been winning the championship for several consecutive issues. He’s the white knight that everyone admires!” He Yuhua’s eyes were filled with heart-shaped sparkles.
Is that so? It seems everyone loves the CEO!” the German woman said.
He Yuhua couldn’t detect the subtle sarcasm in her tone. “Of course! I can’t talk to you anymore, I’m running late! Unfortunately, I can’t share the e-newsletter content with you, it’s an unspoken rule because it’s a paid subscription, so subscribers can’t show it to others. You should subscribe too, so we can discuss…”
“You’re running late,” the German woman kindly reminded her.
