Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

Lin Bufan's words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly striking Mi Duo's heart. She felt her legs go weak, almost unable to stand, and could only hold on tightly to the armrest of the sofa.

"I...I..." Mi Duo stuttered and couldn't speak, her cheeks feeling hot as if they were burning.

Lin Bufan took a step forward, the distance between them close enough that they could feel each other's breath. He reached out and gently lifted Mi Duo's chin, forcing her to look him in the eye. "Why, you don't like me?"

"No!" Mi Duo hastily denied, her voice so loud that she startled herself. She lowered her eyes in panic, not daring to look directly into Lin Bufan's burning gaze: "I just... didn't expect you to..."

"Call me by my name." Lin Bufan interrupted her, stroking her chin with his thumb. "In private, you can call me Afan or Bufan."

"Afan..." Mido called carefully, feeling the sweet electricity as the name rolled across her tongue.

Lin Bufan smiled with satisfaction: "That's right." He let go of her hand and turned to walk towards the desk: "I called you here today because I have something important to tell you."

Mi Duo was stunned for a moment, and a sense of loss surged in her heart: "Ah? So... it's not specifically to see me..."

"What, are you disappointed?" Lin Bufan turned around and looked at Mi Duo with a mischievous smile in his eyes: "Don't worry, meeting you is my main purpose, and talking about work is just by the way."

Mi Duo's face turned red again. She found that she was like a little girl who had just fallen in love in front of Lin Bufan, and she could not control the temperature on her face at all.

Lin Bufan took out a document from the drawer and handed it to her: "Take a look at this."

Mi Duo took the document and found it was an employment contract. She looked up in confusion: "What is this...?"

Lin Bufan did not explain, but gestured for Mi Duo to look at it herself!

When Mi Duo opened the contract and saw the words "President's Secretary", her heart skipped a beat. Could this be the legendary secretary who does things when there is something to do and does other things when there is nothing to do?

"This...do you want me to be your secretary?"

Lin Bufan leaned against the desk, his arms folded across his chest: "Why, you don't want to?"

"It's not that I don't want to!" Mi Duo shook her head hurriedly, her eyes sparkling: "It's just... why me?"

"Three reasons." Lin Bufan raised his slender fingers. "First, I've seen the plan you gave to Tongling Jewelry. It's very creative. Second, you probably haven't found a new job yet, right?"

Mi Duo opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Afan, how do you know I don't have a job?"

Lin Bufan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and looked at Mi Duo gently: "Because I have been paying attention to you."

"Ah..." Mi Duo felt her heart skip a beat, and the documents in her hands almost slipped. She hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to look through the contract, but she couldn't hide the curve of her lips: "Then...what about the third reason?"

Lin Bufan suddenly stepped forward, trapping Mi Duo between himself and his desk. He leaned over slightly and whispered in her ear, "This way I can see you every day..." His warm breath brushed against her earlobe. "And..." He deliberately dragged out his words, "Isn't an office romance more exciting?"

Mi Duo froze, his ears buzzing. When Lin Bufan's words reached his ears, they were automatically filtered into, isn't it more exciting in the office!

Mi Duo pushed Lin Bufan away, blushing and stammering, "We can't... do it in the office..."

Lin Bufan was stunned and raised his eyebrows in confusion: "Why not in the office?"

"This, this is too embarrassing..." Mi Duo lowered her head, her fingers twisting the corners of her clothes nervously, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

Lin Bufan finally realized what Mi Duo had misunderstood, and a mischievous smile flashed in his eyes. He deliberately didn't explain, but instead leaned closer and asked, "So where do you think it's okay?"

"At least it has to be a hotel..." Mi Duo regretted it after she said it, and wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Hahaha..." Lin Bufan suddenly laughed and stretched out his hand to rub the top of Mi Duo's head: "I mean office romance is exciting, not about doing anything in the office. But..." He deliberately dragged out the tone: "Since you are looking forward to it so much, I can consider it..."

"Ah!" Mi Duo realized that she had misunderstood, and her face instantly turned red like a ripe apple. She stamped her feet in embarrassment and anger: "You, you did it on purpose!"

Lin Bufan smiled and pressed the intercom: "Jiabao, come in."

Duan Jiabao quickly pushed the door open and stood at the doorway without looking away: "Boss Lin, are you looking for me?"

"Take Miss Mi to familiarize herself with the working environment and content." Lin Bufan returned to his serious expression, but there was still a smile in his eyes.

"Okay." Duan Jiabao turned to Mi Duo and said, "Miss Mi, please follow me."

Mi Duo, as if pardoned, hurriedly followed Duan Jiabao out. Before leaving, she couldn't help but look back, and happened to meet Lin Bufan's meaningful gaze. Her face immediately blushed again, and she fled from the office.

Duan Jiabao took Mi Duo out of the office, through the spacious and bright corridor, and began to introduce the working environment to her.

"This is the secretary's office. Your workstation will be here from now on." Duan Jiabao pointed to a spot near the window. "It's closest to General Manager Lin's office, so it's convenient for responding to requests at any time."

Mi Duo looked around the spacious workstation curiously. A brand new computer and office supplies were already laid out on the desk. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she could overlook the entire city.

"So beautiful..." Mi Duo couldn't help but sigh.

Duan Jiabao smiled slightly. "Boss Lin has always attached great importance to the working environment of his employees. Come, I'll take you to see the tea room and the rest area."

Of course, what Duan Jiabao didn’t say was that Lin Bufan only cared about Mi Duo and didn’t care about anyone else!

The two came to an exquisitely decorated lounge, which was furnished with comfortable sofas, coffee machines and various snacks.

"The company provides free coffee and tea. You can come here to relax during lunch break," Duan Jiabao introduced. "By the way, Mr. Lin likes to drink Coke. You have to remember this."

Mi Duo nodded quickly and took out her cell phone to write down this detail.

"Um... Assistant Duan!" Mi Duo hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "What kind of person is Mr. Lin usually?"

Duan Jiabao paused, a flicker of hesitation crossing his face. But after a moment's reflection, he chose not to voice his thoughts. "Mr. Lin...although he seems a bit aloof, he's actually very kind to his employees. The company's benefits are excellent, and overtime is rare."

Mi Duo bit her lip, her cheeks flushed slightly: "Um... Assistant Duan, actually I want to ask... Mr. Lin privately... um..." She hesitated and gestured: "What he likes and dislikes in his daily life..."

A flash of understanding flashed across Duan Jiabao's eyes, but she maintained a professional smile. "Ms. Mi, as assistants, it's best not to pry too much into the boss's personal affairs." She turned and pushed open the door to the conference room. "This is where we hold our weekly meetings. Mr. Lin occasionally attends."

Mi Duo let out a disappointed "Oh" and followed him into the conference room. Her eyes involuntarily fell on the main seat - where a nameplate with the three words "Lin Bufan" was placed.

"Does Mr. Lin come to the company often?" Mi Duo asked casually.

Duan Jiabao sorted through the documents on the conference table. "I don't come here very often. Mr. Lin has other businesses under his name, and Xiaofan Entertainment is mainly managed by the Executive President on a daily basis."

"Other industries?" Mi Duo's eyes lit up: "What kind of companies are they?"

Duan Jiabao looked at Mi Duo helplessly and said, "Miss Mi, this information can be found online." She looked at her watch and said, "Let's continue our tour. Next is the Finance Department and the Creative Department."

For the next half hour, Duan Jiabao took Mi Duo on a quick tour of the various departments. Whenever Mi Duo wanted to inquire about Lin Bufan's personal affairs, Duan Jiabao would cleverly change the subject.

After visiting the company, Duan Jiabao told Mi Duo about her future work content. Then he left Mi Duo at her workstation and she went to Lin Bufan's office alone!

Duan Jiabao knocked gently on the office door, and after hearing the voice of "Come in" from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in.

"Prince, I have taken Miss Mi to visit the company." Duan Jiabao stood in front of the desk and reported respectfully.

Lin Bufan was playing with his phone, and when he heard this he looked up: "How did she react?"

"Miss Mi is very satisfied with her work environment." Duan Jiabao paused, hesitated, and added, "But she seems more concerned about your personal affairs... She's been asking about your preferences and schedule."

Lin Bufan's mouth curled up slightly: "Oh? What did you ask?"

"I'll ask you what you like to eat, what your hobbies are, and whether you come to the company often..." Duan Jiabao reported everything in detail. At the end, he couldn't help but ask, "Prince, do you need me to remind Miss Mi to be careful?"

"No need." Lin Bufan waved his hand, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes: "Just tell her whatever she wants to know."

"Ah?! Can you really tell anyone about those things?!"

Hearing Duan Jiabao's incredulous tone, Lin Bufan's face was full of black lines: "I am a man of integrity. I walk upright and stand tall. I have nothing to hide. What is there to hide?"

As soon as the words came out, Duan Jiabao knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly explained: "No, that's not what I meant! I meant your... uh..."

Lin Bufan waved his hand impatiently and interrupted: "Alright, alright, stop talking, I know exactly what you mean!"

Duan Jiabao was so anxious that he almost cried: "No, it's not the prince, I really didn't mean that!"

"To me, it doesn't matter what you mean. What matters is what I understand it to mean, and that's what it means!"

Duan Jiabao was completely dumbfounded. Could this be possible?

While Duan Jiabao was stunned, Lin Bufan suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, have you found a partner recently?"

"Ah?" Duan Jiabao was stunned by this sudden question, then blushed and shook his head: "Not yet..."

"What?!" Lin Bufan slammed the table and stood up, startling Duan Jiabao. "Didn't I tell you to look for it a long time ago? How come you haven't found it in such a long time? Are you just perfunctorily fulfilling the task I gave you? Or do you still have intentions towards me?"

Duan Jiabao waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no! Prince, you misunderstood! How dare I have any intentions towards you!" She was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead: "It's just... Finding a partner is not something you can find just by looking. You have to meet the right one..."

Lin Bufan narrowed his eyes and stared at Duan Jiabao with suspicion: "Is it really not because you still care about me that you look down on others?"

"Absolutely not!" Duan Jiabao shook his head like a rattle: "Don't worry, I've already faced the reality! A man like you is something I will never get in my lifetime!"

"That's more like it!" Lin Bufan sat back in his chair with satisfaction. After putting his legs on the desk, he said in a condescending tone, "Dabao, you have to remember that you can't be too picky when looking for a partner. You can't use me as a standard. After all, there is only one man as outstanding as me in the world. You should lower your standards appropriately."

Duan Jiabao's mouth twitched, and he resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "Yes, yes, you are right..."

Lin Bufan suddenly changed the subject and asked with great interest, "Dabao, do you think Mi Duo is pretty?"

Duan Jiabao was stunned for a moment, then answered honestly, "It's pretty."

"It's good to know that she's prettier than you!" Lin Bufan raised his chin proudly: "When I choose secretaries and assistants, the requirements for appearance are very high. At least they have to be at Mi Duo's level."

Then, Lin Bufan looked Duan Jiabao up and down and sighed: "To be honest, with your looks, you are not qualified..."

Duan Jiabao: “…”

"However," Lin Bufan waved his hand and said magnanimously, "since you've been with me for such a long time and you're still quite comfortable using it, I won't replace you."

Duan Jiabao gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you so much, Prince!"

"No need to thank me!" Lin Bufan suddenly became serious: "But you have to find a boyfriend quickly. Otherwise, I'll always worry that you're plotting against me, which makes me feel very insecure!"

Duan Jiabao almost vomited blood. If I have intentions towards you, even if I have intentions towards Sang Biao, I will never have intentions towards you!

Of course, she only dared to think about these words in her heart, and nodded respectfully on the surface: "Yes, I will do it as soon as possible..."

Seeing Duan Jiabao's clumsy look, Lin Bufan still felt a little uneasy, so he added: "Dabao, if you have a goal and can't achieve it yourself, don't be embarrassed, you can tell me, and then I will give you some advice and help you achieve it!"

"Then I would like to thank you in advance, Prince!" Although he said thank you, Duan Jiabao was almost biting his teeth!

Seeing Duan Jiabao agreed, Lin Bufan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, remember what I said, you go out first."

Duan Jiabao was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly remembered something and said quickly, "By the way, Mr. Lin, Mr. Lee Soo-man from SM Entertainment in Korea will be arriving soon. Miss Song Qian and the company have already taken people to the airport to pick him up."

"Oh? So fast?" Lin Bufan raised his eyebrows: "It seems that Xiaoman is very concerned about this deal."

Duan Jiabao hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Boss Lin, are you really going to acquire SM Entertainment? This is not a small amount of money..."

Lin Bufan waved his hand, interrupting Duan Jiabao: "Money is not a problem. Go and inform Ms. Qu and ask her to participate in the negotiation as well."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Duan Jiabao nodded and quickly left the office.
