Chapter 40 I'm Here to Be a Secretary
The third-floor corridor is carpeted, so there's no sound when you step on it.
Arriving at the room on the right, Wang Guanxi pushed open the door and went inside.
The room was large, with warm yellow lighting. In the center was a round bed with dark gray, soft-looking sheets.
Next to the bed is a transparent bathroom with a glass partition, so you can see everything clearly.
Wang Guanxi closed the door and glanced at Xie Baizhi standing in the doorway.
(Censored)
Wang Guanxi remained silent.
He came to vent, not to have a heart-to-heart talk.
The women who appear here don't need his pity or tenderness.
(One thousand verbs omitted here)
......
Half an hour later.
Nobody owes anyone anything.
After getting dressed, Wang Guanxi went downstairs and found that the living room was empty, and even Chung Chao-lung was nowhere to be seen.
He thought to himself, "Zhong Zhaolong is a really good person."
After doing something like this, it's bound to be a little awkward if you run into other people afterwards.
They simply cleared the area out.
It saves us from unnecessary small talk and avoids making each other uncomfortable.
......
As I drove back to Jiangcheng city, Zhong Zhaolong called, his tone slightly tentative: "Mr. Wang, how is it? Are you satisfied?"
(Edited)
Wang Guanxi tapped his finger on the steering wheel.
the first time?
Before Wang Guanxi could say anything, Zhong Zhaolong continued:
"Zhizhi was recruited by Sister Hong. She used to work as a receptionist at the Jia Hua Hotel, earning 3,000 yuan a month. Her father was sick and needed surgery, so they borrowed a large sum of money that they couldn't repay. She quit her job to find a way to make quick money, and she happened to hear that our club was hiring, so she came to apply."
Wang Guanxi understood.
(Edited)
A sick mother, a gambling father, and a sensible girl—she shoulders the entire family on her young shoulders.
After recounting Xie Baizhi's story, Zhong Zhaolong, fearing Wang Guanxi might mind, added, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I haven't touched Xie Baizhi at all. I notified you to come and try her out as soon as I hired her. She's completely clean!"
"Okay, I understand," Wang Guanxi said.
The two chatted for a few more minutes about the renovation progress of the Day and Night Club.
Chung Chao-lung said the renovation team wouldn't start until the day after tomorrow, and they'd be clearing the site and moving things out in the next couple of days. He asked if Chung had time to go and see the renderings.
Wang Guanxi said he would make time to go and take a look.
Just as he was about to hang up, Wang Guanxi suddenly spoke up.
"Boss Zhong."
"Um?"
"Please tell Zhizhi for me to come see me tomorrow."
There was a pause on the other end of the phone.
"Looking for you? What's up?"
"I happen to need a secretary."
Chung Chao-lung paused for a second, then smiled.
"Haha, I understand! I'll arrange it right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Wang Guanxi felt much better.
When Wang Guanxi was on the phone with Zhong Zhaolong, he was actually thinking to himself that he had more and more things to do now and really needed someone by his side to coordinate and help.
Wang Defa was loyal to him without a doubt, but he was not highly educated and could not help with many things. He could only pay more attention to the talented people around him.
Cecilia Cheung previously worked as a receptionist at the K. Wah Hotel, where she greeted and saw off guests; she had no problem with interpersonal skills.
Moreover, after it was over, she did not recount her tragic past or try to gain his sympathy.
This made Wang Guanxi think highly of her.
Some people, given the chance, will start playing the victim, wishing they could pour out all the suffering of their ancestors for eighteen generations.
Cecilia Cheung did not.
She never said a word about "how my family is doing" or "how hard I have it."
She clearly understood her role and what she should do, and she did not overstep any boundaries, which is very important.
More importantly, he is in his prime and inevitably has needs, so it's too much trouble to ask Chung Chao-lung to arrange everything every time.
Cecilia Cheung is both familiar with and sensible, making her the perfect secretary.
Anyway, if I feel it's not a good fit later, I can just find someone else, so there's no real loss.
I got some luck points from checking in this morning, and then I ran into Cecilia Cheung. Maybe she can bring me good luck.
......
The next day, Wang Guanxi also slept in until he naturally woke up.
After venting my frustrations yesterday, I slept exceptionally well last night.
After signing in as usual, he took out his phone and saw a WeChat friend request with the name Xie Baizhi in the contact name.
After Wang Guanxi accepted the request, he sent a voice message.
"Come to Jiangcheng No. 1 and buy me breakfast while you're at it."
The other party replied instantly: "Okay, Mr. Wang."
......
Half an hour later.
The community security guard called to say that a Ms. Xie was looking for him.
Wang Guanxi said, "Let her come up," then opened the door and leaned against the door frame to wait.
The elevator doors opened.
Cecilia Cheung came out carrying two large bags, which were full of things.
She's dressed completely differently today than she did yesterday.
Yesterday at the villa, she wore a sundress that was excessively revealing.
Today she's wearing a white chiffon blouse, black trousers, and low-heeled leather shoes.
Her hair was tied up, revealing her clean neck.
The makeup was much lighter, just a thin layer of foundation and some lipstick.
He looked neat and efficient, like someone who was going to work a regular job.
Wang Guanxi glanced at her, said nothing, and stepped aside.
"Come in."
Cecilia Cheung changed into a pair of slippers and walked in carrying a bag.
Her gaze swept around the living room, but didn't linger for long before quickly returning to her own.
Then she went to the dining table and started taking things out of the bag.
A bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, a basket of steamed buns, a fried dough stick, a tea egg, and a cup of soy milk.
"I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought a little extra," she said as she arranged the food.
Wang Guanxi sat at the dining table, looked at the neatly arranged breakfast, and picked up his chopsticks.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"have eaten."
"Then sit down."
Wang Guanxi lowered his head to drink his porridge, while Xie Baizhi stood beside him with her hands folded in front of her, like a waitress.
After taking a couple of sips, Wang Guanxi looked up and glanced at her.
"Do you know why I called you here?"
Cecilia Cheung's gaze was firm and unwavering.
"I know. I'm here to be a secretary."
