Lin Wan broke free from Li Yanchenâs embrace when she heard the knock.
Even though they were intimate the night before, Li Yanchen insisted she sit on his lap while he worked.
Zhang had prepared an excuse to visit the office. However, his mind went blank when he heard Li Yanchen say, âCome in.â
He walked straight to Lin Wan. âMadam, I am your fan. Can I have an autograph?â
Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. He hadnât stumbled on his words.
Li Yanchen narrowed his eyes. âZhangâ¦â
âOh, President Li, youâre here too. I didnât see you,â he said.
âDidnât you see me as soon as you entered the room? Iâm right in front of the door.â
âIâm sorry. You can fire me, but can I have Madamâs autograph before you do? I am her biggest fan. Even my sister and my mother are your fans, Madam. Oh, right⦠My sister is getting married during the Spring Festival. She loves you! Can you give me one more autograph and mention my sister in it? Please⦠It can be her wedding gift. Sheâll die of happiness, Iâm sureâ¦â
Lin Wan was speechless.
âAlright. Iâll give you my autograph. Please tell them Iâm just an ordinary person,â said Lin Wan as she signed ten autographs and dedicated them individually to Zhangâs family members.
âThank you, Madam. Thank you, Sir.â Zhang closed the notebook and stumbled back to his own office.
âWhatâs going on?â Li Yanchen was amazed. He decided to call Secretary Han to ask about the recruitment standards. How could someone as rash and unprofessional be given a job at the company?
Li Yanchen dialed Secretary Hanâs extension. âSecretary Han, come to my office.â
Secretary Han was uneasy. He tried to recall if he had done anything to upset his employer.
âAre you going to have a meeting? Iâll go inside.â Lin Wan got up from the sofa.
âNo, itâs okay. Stay. Itâs not a meeting. Just casual talk.â
Secretary Han was anxious. He couldnât figure out any mistakes he might have made. On the contrary, he was quite satisfied with the work he had done. He stood in front of the door to the CEOâs office and raised a hand to knock.
He then put his hand down again. âDid I make a mistake with the proposal yesterday? Did I calculate the mount wrong?â
Han knocked on the door hesitantly.
âCome in.â
Secretary Han entered the office.
âPlease sit.â Li Yanchen gestured to the chair across from him.
Secretary Han was surprised. It didnât seem like his employer was angry at least. He had even offered him a seat.
âWait⦠is this a good thing or a bad thing?â
âZhang came to the office just now and asked Wanwan for autographs.â
âWhat? In front of you?â asked Secretary Han. âIâll arrange the paperwork.â
âWait⦠Are you going to fire that employee just because he asked me for an autograph?â Lin Wan asked.
âMadam, there wonât be anyone daring to approach you so rashly in the future,â said Secretary Han.
âItâs just a small matter. No need for that,â said Lin Wan. âMr. Li, itâs just a few autographs. If you are worried it might be seen as biased, I can sign a few for evervone later if vour other emDlovees want it too. Do vou feel like he wasted his working hours? It was just a few minutes. Donât treat them like machines.â
Secretary Han glanced at Li Yanchen. âWell⦠Zhang is quite capable at his work. He is very efficient. Maybe he got too excited because he was Madamâs huge fan. I can email everyone to be more professional and not bother Madam with things like that in the future.â
âNo need for that. Itâs just a small matter. I wonât dare to come to this company in the future if you all are so serious,â said Lin Wan.
Li Yanchen sighed. âIâll listen to her. If Wanwan doesnât mind, then thereâs no harm done. Please close the door behind you when you go,â he said.
After Secretary Han closed the door to the office, he let out a relieved sigh. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Assistant Qin was very happy with last nightâs date. He was in such a good mood that he wanted to talk to Secretary Han about it.
When he saw Secretary Han walking by his office, he waved to him. âHan, come in and have a cup of tea with me.â
Secretary Han quickly entered Assistant Qinâs office. He sighed wearily as he sat down.
âWhy are you so gloomy this early in the morning? Whatâs wrong?â asked Assistant Qin. He had wanted to talk about his date but seeing Secretary Han so worried, he couldnât bring himself to talk about it.
Secretary Han recounted what had happened. âWhen Mr. Li managed the company, everyone was professional and obedient. How is it that these things are happening just when I took over? Entering the office and asking Madam for autographs⦠Can you believe it?â
âGod⦠Is Zhang possessed by something? Fortunately, Madam is very understanding. Otherwise, Zhang would have definitely lost his job today. Although the boss has changed, he is still ruthless in nature. Itâs not easy to change oneâs nature.â
âAnyway, itâs my fault. Maybe I should resign as the acting manager and just be a regular administrative secretary.â
Secretary Han was filled with self-doubt.
Assistant Qin smiled. âOh, come on⦠Youâre overthinking. Have a cup of tea and calm down.â
After talking to Assistant Qin, Secretary Han felt a little better.
In Li Yanchenâs office, Lin Wan wrapped her arms around his neck. âDonât be so serious. Itâs scary.â
âSomeone admiring my wife under my very nose? Am I being petty if Iâm trying to stop that? Itâs like celebrities being surrounded in the streets. This is an office. If you are a celebrity, then Iâm your manager. I have to make sure I shield you.â
âItâs not that serious. As an employer, donât be so serious all the time. You know it helps to get along with your employees occasionally and know more about them. Itâs a good thing.â
âYes, youâre right. In the future, instead of year-end bonuses, Iâll distribute my wifeâs autographs. Letâs see how they like it thenâ¦â
Lin Wan was speechless.
Zhang returned to his seat and spread out the autographs on his desk.
He had to cut them out one by one and stick them to the front page of his notebook to give them to his family.
Assistant Qin tossed a pen onto Zhangâs desk, which made him snap out of his daze.
âYou have a job, but you are still slacking off. Be careful or youâll get fired.â
âYes, Iâll work hard. Iâll serve the boss. Serving him means serving his wife. When the boss sees the achievements I create for the company, heâll appreciate me. If he appreciates me, maybe I can ask for a reward and get him to agree to let my family meet Madamâ¦â Zhengâs mind was filled with unrealistic fantasies.
Assistant Qin rolled his eyes.
The snowfall in Yun City was getting thicker. Xia MO called Lin Wan and told her that she took leave for the afternoon to do a live broadcast. She asked if Lin wan nad time to accompany ner to tne mall.
Wan had planned to go to the Snow Queen Theme Park later, but she decided to go shopping with Xia MO instead.
âHoney, I wonât be able to keep you company after lunch. Xia wants me to go with her to the mall. I also want to see this yearâs winter fashion,â said Lin Wan.
âNot going to watch the rehearsal?â The woman shook her head. âNot going to the theme park?â Lin Wan shook her head. âNot going to accompany your husband?â
Lin Wan still shook her head.
âAlright, you can go then. Donât worry about me, â said Li Yanchen pitifully. He also wanted to go shopping, but no one had invited him..
