No way? She cried out in her mind.
“Don’t worry, it’s just simple document processing. Just help me type and format like yesterday.”
As if anticipating her possible reaction, he immediately added this sentence without lifting his head.
He planned to draft a new proposal to attract clients. The original proposal had been complicated by the initial negotiator deliberately avoiding meetings. He decided to change his approach, personally redesigning the plan to turn the current disadvantage around. He didn’t want them to see his passive stance. He wanted to repackage it, offer greater benefits to make the other party proactively approach him, to show that Kaiwei didn’t need to compromise, and if they weren’t willing to cooperate, others would be eager to take the deal.
Originally, a signed contract would have brought in funds, but with the contract unsigned, he would face a cash flow crisis until finding the next buyer – which was not good.
Although he had his own secretary, he had temporarily assigned her to his job representative. At the moment, he didn’t know where to find a trustworthy assistant. Fortunately, after yesterday’s test, she met his standards.
“Is that not okay?” Seeing no response, he looked up at her.
“But… I can only work until 10 PM.” She hesitated, inexplicably thinking about their earlier kissing scene. His complete silence about it made her feel both relieved and strangely stuffy.
“I said you can apply for overtime for extra hours.” He was temporarily short-staffed, not completely without help. Was this woman being unreasonable?
“Will you fire me if I refuse?” Remembering yesterday’s painful experience, she didn’t want to agree.
“You…” He was surprised she would refuse, but he never begged anyone. Forget it, he’d do it himself.
“If you’re unwilling, that’s fine. The initial contract didn’t include this clause, so I won’t fire you for this.” He returned to his work, but his pale face clearly showed he was in a state of pushing through his discomfort. Even for a workaholic, this was too much.
“Um…” She hesitated whether to meddle again and remind him not to push too hard.
“Something?” He looked at her. Did she want to take the job?
