The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

It was already 2 PM after lunch, time for my afternoon shift.

The assistant to the deputy manager of the investment department came to report for duty.

When Xing Yanzhao and Luo Huai saw her, they were surprised to find that she was Xing Zhengyu's female secretary.

Are they sending someone else to monitor us?

Xing Yanzhao seemed to be deep in thought.

Luo Huai noticed a little red showing on the back of the female secretary's left hand, which was covered by her right hand.

She turned to Xing Yanzhao and said, "Brother Zhao, it looks like the back of her hand is burned."

Xing Yanzhao then looked over.

That was the deputy manager's assistant, one of Xing Zhengyu's men, and had nothing to do with him.

He didn't even glance at her, only looking at Luo Huai: "You revise your thesis here this afternoon."

Luo Huai did not refuse; she felt a bit stifled staying at the Xing family's house.

"Should I send someone to get your computer?"

"No need." Luo Huai shook his head. "I have it in my account. Just log in."

So Xing Yanzhao gave up his seat and computer, and let Luo Huai sit there to revise the paper.

He then sat on the sofa.

The stack of documents on the coffee table were all publicly available information. He hadn't seen any of Xing's more confidential information yet, and the company's intranet access was only up to the supervisor level.

So as the general manager of the investment department, he hardly had anything to do. He just sat there, and occasionally someone would bring him documents to sign or approve them via email.

He's not very busy.

Luo Huai is quite busy.

The keyboard clicks loudly, the mouse moves quickly, and the eyes are focused.

Xing Yanzhao would pour her water and add tea whenever he had free time.

Luo Huai soon felt the urge to urinate, and after asking Xing Yanzhao, he went straight to the bathroom.

The restroom is the second most dangerous place in the world, after the tea room.

"Sister Ying was demoted just like that?"

"Yes, I was demoted just like that, and I'm now working as an assistant to the deputy manager of the investment department. Luckily, I wasn't fired outright."

“This isn’t Pei’s company. Where does she get so much power? It’s just that President Xing indulged her, which is why Sister Ying was demoted. Sister Ying worked so hard to become the head secretary in the president’s office, and all her efforts were wasted with just one word from Miss Pei.”

"If you have to blame someone, blame it on Sister Ying being a bit prettier, having a better figure, and dressing better."

"She's the CEO's secretary; her image is very important!"

"Wasn't it because Sister Ying accidentally spilled coffee on Miss Pei that she was demoted?"

The others turned their heads: "Do you believe it?"

"Did Miss Pei get burned? Only Sister Ying got burned. And I just heard that President Xing asked HR to find him a new assistant, a man."

The man choked, then suddenly sighed, "Sister Ying has been with President Xing for so long, and she was demoted just like that. What about us? It seems we have to be careful serving Miss Pei."

"Young Master Xing's wife is here too, so there's nothing much going on in the investment department."

"Maybe it's because Assistant Chen is a man?"

"Who knows?" Everyone shrugged, dried their hands, and left.

Luo Huai came out of the toilet stall, washing his hands as he pondered whether or not he should buy some burn ointment.

They were all unfortunate subordinates of Pei Youyou.

Hey.

Luo Huai couldn't help but sigh softly, and decided to go downstairs to the pharmacy to buy burn ointment.

I took the medicine back.

Xing Yanzhao stood in the lobby on the first floor, staring intently at her.

Luo Huai quickened his pace and went over, "Brother Zhao, why did you come down?"

"Something came up." Xing Yanzhao glanced at the transparent plastic bag in her hand, said nothing, and didn't leave.

Luo Huai stood there with him.

It wasn't until the HR manager rushed over, smiling, that he said he would immediately register the eldest daughter-in-law's facial recognition.

After the recording, Luo Huai will not only be able to freely enter and leave Xing's Group, but also take his own private elevator.

Back in the investment department, Luo Huai called over Xiao Chen, gave him the burn ointment, and asked him to deliver it to the new assistant.

"Sister Ying, my sister-in-law asked me to give this to you." Xiao Chen always had that silly smile on his face.

Liu Ying had been keeping an eye on the investment department's activities for Xing Zhengyu, knowing that everyone called Young Master Xing "Brother Xing".

My sister-in-law is Mrs. Xing, the young master's wife.

That quiet and well-behaved little girl had a pair of beautiful and intelligent eyes.

He was the first person to notice the problem with her hand.

She had just received the burn ointment, which she had ordered herself. I called her and told her to leave it at the front desk.

Liu Ying stared at the burn ointment for a long time, unsure whether she should use it.

Even if she's demoted, she's still one of President Xing's people. The moment she became President Xing's secretary, she had already implicitly chosen sides.

Mr. Xing didn't intend to transfer her to the investment department; it was Ms. Pei's idea. Originally, Ms. Pei wanted her to be Mr. Xing's assistant, ostensibly to gather information.

Actually, it was to disgust the young mistress.

She was a woman too, and the moment she saw Miss Pei, she sensed her jealousy and anger.

So even without that cup of coffee, something else would have happened.

But placing her next to Young Master Xing would be too blatant.

General Manager Xing then arranged for him to work as an assistant to the deputy manager.

The deputy manager is also one of General Manager Xing's people.

Liu Ying didn't use the burn ointment; instead, she opened the drawer and put it inside.

"Sister-in-law, all your efforts have been in vain. Sister Ying is useless." Xiao Chen caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of his eye.

Luo Huai said, "It's nothing."

She continued revising the paper.

……

Pei Youyou didn't go back to the Xing family either. Instead, she stayed with Xing Zhengyu, wanting to have afternoon tea one minute and wanting to buy something the next.

Xing Zhengyu's desk was piled high with documents, and his email inbox was overflowing; he was too busy to keep up.

He also had to deal with Pei Youyou on one hand.

If his tone or expression is slightly off, or if he replies a little slowly, Pei Youyou will angrily walk over, snatch the documents from his hand, put them down, and sit in his lap, acting coquettishly.

"Brother Zhengyu! Take a look."

"Youyou, I'm quite busy right now, can we talk about it later?"

"No, no, right now! Can't you spend more time with me?" Pei Youyou kissed Pei Zhengyu on the cheek and pointed to a message on her phone. "Grandpa Fu's collection auction only happens once every five years, this Sunday night. Will you come with me?"

Xing Zhengyu called his secretary over to inquire about the arrangements for this Sunday. The secretary wiped his brow and said, "Sister Ying hasn't handed over the reins yet."

Pei Youyou's expression changed slightly.

"Can't you do your work without Liu Ying? If you can't do it well, then don't do it at all."

“Miss Pei!” the secretary explained nervously, “Mr. Xing’s schedule is usually kept confidential.”

Pei Youyou pouted.

Xing Zhengyu said, "Try to urge Liu Ying."

"Yes." The secretary didn't dare breathe until she left, and went straight to the investment department to find Liu Ying.

Liu Ying said, "I'll hand over the work after I've applied the medicine. Mr. Xing has a dinner party on Sunday afternoon and evening. The other party is the nephew of the second-in-command in Ningcheng. There will be a large bidding conference in Ningcheng in December. This bid is very important for both the Xing family and Mr. Xing."

The secretary immediately went to reply.

Xing Zhengyu said apologetically, "Youyou, I can't go with you. How about asking Yuru to go with you? Here's this card too. Just swipe it on whatever you want."

He took out his black card.

It is not a supplementary card.

Pei Youyou pushed it back: "I have my own, I just want you to come with me."

The downside of marrying a rich heiress is that you can't win her over with money.

Xing Zhengyu still handed the card over: "Just consider it as you keeping it for me. A husband's card should be handed over to his wife to manage anyway."

These words pleased Pei Youyou.

"The drinking party on Sunday is very important, I really can't go, please forgive me? After I'm done with my work, I'll go with you wherever you want to go."

"Alright." Pei Youyou wasn't entirely satisfied. She fiddled with the black card in her hand, then her eyes suddenly lit up. "Not just Yu Rou, how about we invite Luo Huai too?"

The first hurdle for board members entering Tibet is verifying their capital.

It is not an asset.

It is a qualification.

It's not something you can get in just by having money.
