“Yes, I need to get a spot, because we don’t have a basketball court downstairs, so today’s basketball game is at the nearby sports center, I need to hurry, otherwise I won’t have a place to stand.” He Yuhua wanted to continue gossiping but had to leave. “Aren’t you getting off work? You rarely work overtime, but lately you seem to be working more often!”
“Yes, I’m a bit busier lately.” Busy making extra money!
“I’m going then, don’t work too hard!” It wasn’t great that her boss was so busy while she always left earlier, but the CEO was just too attractive, so she could only apologize.
“Go!” The German woman had already started planning what she was going to do next.
He Yuhua left, leaving her with a quiet room.
The German woman entered the CEO’s office, opened his computer, quickly connected to a website, entered the password, and soon a list appeared on the screen.
“Two hundred isn’t much? Hmph, do you know how big this business opportunity is?” In just a few days, she had gained three to four hundred new subscribers, with tens of thousands of dollars already transferred through online card payments, almost more than her monthly salary.
That’s right, making money was Pang Dewen’s favorite thing! While others loved the CEO, she loved money!
Scanning the list of new subscribers, she indeed found several frequently reported figures had subscribed. Suddenly, an unfamiliar account caught her eye, and she frowned.
Usually, company colleagues used company email accounts to subscribe, but this account was clearly not from the company. In a flash of inspiration, she opened the computer’s email software and clicked on the account. “Aha! Caught you!”
This mysterious new subscriber was none other than their CEO!
What would he think when he saw these reports?
A blooming smile appeared at the corner of her lips. If someone saw her now, they would be shocked. The usually reserved Secretary Pang was actually smiling so… brilliantly?
Of course, especially when money kept dropping into her pocket, even the coldest Pang Dewen couldn’t help but reveal a happy expression in her eyes and eyebrows!
“Sports competition?” Recalling what had just excited He Yuhua, she suddenly had an idea. “If everyone is so interested, perhaps I should go take a look.”
The focus of everyone’s attention was usually where the business opportunity lay!
She, Pang Dewen, truly had a business mind! A hint of proud smile hung at the corner of her mouth.
Zhan Qing, “Everyone Loves the CEO”
Chapter Three
Long Jie had a freshly printed e-newsletter spread on his desk, and after reading it, he actually let out two laughs.
The e-newsletter’s title was “Everyone Loves the CEO”, analyzing the secrets behind the CEO’s top ranking. It mentioned that the words “CEO” alone carried an irresistible magical charm, otherwise, why would so many romance novels be titled “XX CEO” or “CEO’s XX”!
When Pang Dewen brought in some documents, she happened to catch the smile at the corner of Long Jie’s mouth. Glancing at the e-newsletter on his desk, she was surprised to find he wasn’t angry.
She thought he would be angry!
Was her observation of him not comprehensive enough, unable to calculate every one of the CEO’s reactions? She was displeased with her potential oversight.
“Secretary Pang, is there something?” It was rare to see his secretary staring at him in a daze. If he didn’t know her well, he might have thought he looked especially handsome today.
“Oh.” Realizing she was staring, Dewen found it completely unacceptable, and a suspicious blush appeared on her face. “These are documents from various departments, I’ll just leave them here. Does the CEO have any documents to send out? I can take them with me.” Fortunately, she was well-trained, otherwise it would have been awkward.
Long Jie leaned back in his chair, carefully examining her, saying nothing and not letting her leave.
His unusual attention made her uncomfortable. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go now.” She said, turning to leave with slightly hasty steps.
“Secretary Pang, do you subscribe to this e-newsletter?” Long Jie’s voice stopped her departing footsteps.
She paused, turning back, her expression completely returning to its usual unruffled state. “No.”
“Would you like to take a look?” He surprisingly seemed in the mood to discuss with his rigid secretary. Since everyone loved the CEO, why wouldn’t his secretary?
“CEO, subscribers apparently have an unspoken rule of not sharing content with others,” she said flatly, still standing by the door, looking ready to leave immediately.
For some reason, he felt Secretary Pang was less aloof than usual, so he wanted to observe her more closely.
“You seem to know quite a bit. You’re not as isolated as you describe yourself!”
She turned in surprise, a cold light flashing in her eyes. “I don’t recall discussing my social life with the CEO.”
“Last time I asked you about who you associate with, you told me!” Long Jie shrugged, rarely dropping his cold, icy facade in the office.
Did he remember?
“I don’t remember,” she casually brushed off. “CEO, if there’s nothing else, I have things to do.”
“You…” Before he could finish, an unexpected guest burst through the door.
Long Jie, do you know what happened? You absolutely won’t believe it…” Xie Qier burst into the CEO’s office, shouting loudly.
De Nü quickly stepped back and closed the door.
“What’s wrong?” Xie Qier was stunned.
Long Jie looked at him with annoyance. “What earth-shattering event made you burst into my office and make such a fuss? Lately, you’re becoming more and more like those mice in the company who always chatter when they see me!”
“Let me tell you…” Xie Qier suddenly remembered what had just excited him. “That electronic newsletter we talked about the other day, they’ve started a betting pool!”
“Betting pool?” His brow furrowed.
“Yes! And you can bet online with a card, this guy knows how to write all kinds of programs, he’s definitely not an amateur…”
“How did he set up this betting pool?” How was the situation getting more and more out of control? He had originally found it amusing, but now the situation seemed to be spiraling.
“It’s about the sports competition organized by our staff welfare committee, betting on who will win the MVP Best Athlete award. The betting amount is already quite shocking, though each person can only bet up to 5,000, but many people are participating!” This had become the biggest entertainment focus of the Pu Te Group.
“How many people are participating?” He stood up, unable to tolerate employees playing such a gambling game.
“Hundreds, and the betting mechanism allows anonymity, no need to expose oneself. The computer program will directly calculate the odds, seems like this person is quite professional.” How strange, why was he admiring this person?! Seeing Long Jie’s unfriendly expression, Xie Qier decided to adjust his tone. “This is totally unacceptable!”
“Let the security department investigate and see who’s behind all this.” Long Jie gradually calmed down. He felt surprised, unable to believe that a Pu Te employee would have the audacity to play such a trick right under his nose.
“Do you know who’s currently the most popular, with the most bets?” Xie Qier’s tone was tinged with sourness; he just wasn’t good at sports, so he couldn’t shine in this area, how frustrating!
“Who?” He had a bad feeling.
Xie Qier smiled apologetically. “That’s right, it’s you, dear CEO!”
Long Jie’s face darkened. “Find the person responsible as soon as possible.”
“Yes!” Xie Qier responded loudly, though inwardly unsure of his chances. Now they could only rely on the security and network departments.
Long Jie looked ahead thoughtfully, his mind already made up. It was cold, the perfect time for hot pot.
