Gently bite the jasmine

Like...like what? Secretly...cheating?

Lin Xi stammered countless times in her mind.

"You..." She glared at Duan Yiheng, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Duan Yiheng said calmly, "Let me give you an example."

Lin Xi stared wide-eyed. "Has anyone ever used a metaphor like this?"

Fearing that he might say something shocking if the conversation continued, Lin Xi lowered her gaze to his hand and asked:

"Is it for me?"

Just as Duan Yiheng was about to speak, a beam of car headlights swept past the two of them.

Lin Xi was startled; at this hour, it seemed Duan Zheng had returned.

She grabbed Duan Yiheng and led him across the eaves to another corner of the wall, a blind spot in Duan Zheng's direction.

Duan Yiheng turned his head to look, but Lin Xi grabbed his collar and pulled him away.

Their noses nearly collided, and Lin Xi unconsciously let go of his hand, pressing himself against the wall.

Duan Yiheng's breath hitched slightly, and he said with a sly look in his eyes, "It seems that only Grandpa knows that you became my secretary, but Duan Zheng is the general manager, so he will find out sooner or later."

Lin Xi was surprised that she addressed Duan Zheng by his given name, which suggested that the father and son had not gotten along well in recent years.

"I will speak to Uncle Duan when the time comes."

The implication is that you don't need to worry about it.

It was indeed Duan Zheng who returned. Lin Xi could hear him making a phone call from afar, and as his footsteps drew closer, she breathed softly.

But Duan Zheng suddenly stopped under the corridor.

The conversation sounded like he was on the phone with a friend, and he was laughing heartily from time to time.

Duan Zheng walked to the edge of the platform, his voice seemingly close at hand. Lin Xi grabbed the clothes on both sides of Duan Yiheng's waist, her cheek almost pressed against his chest.

"It itches," Duan Yiheng whispered in her ear. "Why don't you hold my waist?"

The warm breath hovering near her ear made Lin Xi's face flush. She dared not hug him and could only let go.

But the deep scent of his perfume kept wafting towards her nose, carrying a uniquely masculine aroma.

Lin Xi pursed her lips, her breathing becoming slightly rapid.

She only gave Duan Mingxuan a brief hug under the pretext of not seeing him for a long time, and then they parted ways immediately.

It's nothing like now, where our bodies are pressed together, our breaths intertwined.

Fortunately, Duan Zheng didn't talk for too long. After he went inside, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and pushed Duan Yiheng away.

Duan Yiheng smiled and handed her the document, saying, "These are the study materials Qin Yang compiled for you. Take a good look at them."

Lin Xi accepted it: "I will definitely thank Assistant Qin properly."

"No need," Duan Yiheng said. "I asked him to do it, so you should thank me."

Lin Xi looked up and said honestly, "Thank you."

Duan Yiheng had no intention of taking advantage of others in distress again; doing it too often would be considered greedy.

"Let's go upstairs," Duan Yiheng chuckled softly, "but be careful..."

Lin Xi didn't understand for a moment: "Be careful of what?"

Duan Yiheng turned his head, bent down to accommodate her height, looked her in the eye, and said, "Be careful he doesn't find out you came to see me secretly."

His tone was playful and sarcastic, completely out of character, as if Lin Xi had really been having an affair with him.

Lin Xi was so angry that she could only watch him leave.

Because of this, Lin Xi thought it best to buy a car as soon as possible, so she sent a message to Liang Yutong, asking her to help her look at cars first, with a price range of less than 500,000 yuan.

One morning near the end of the training, Duan Yiheng told her that he had to go out on an urgent business trip with Assistant Qin and that she needed to go to work by herself.

She's looking forward to the training ending in three days, after which she'll officially start her job.

Just as the idea popped into her head, her phone rang.

Qin Yang said hurriedly on the phone, "Secretary Lin, the bank staff will arrive at Yin Fan in ten minutes and we need you to receive them."

Lin Xi instinctively gripped her phone tighter: "Okay."

"Don't panic. It's a problem with the trading system of our new product. You'll handle the reception. Director Zhang from the technical department and the business department head will negotiate with them."

Lin Xi steadied herself and said, "I understand."

"Secretary Lin."

Suddenly, Duan Yiheng's voice came from the phone.

Based on the professional results of the training, Lin Xi asked, "President Duan, is there anything you would like to remind me of?"

"The other party is in a hurry, so your professional attitude is very important. If the other party finds any shortcomings, they will definitely have doubts about the effectiveness of the communication."

"I understand," Lin Xi said, barely holding on. "I will definitely do it."

"Okay, don't be afraid," Duan Yiheng said. "Assistant Qin and I will be at the company in two hours."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi first notified the technical department, informing them of the situation and asking them to prepare the relevant data.

Due to time constraints, she could only call the administration department for assistance in preparing the meeting room and ensuring that the equipment and network were properly connected.

Because she had to go downstairs to pick someone up.

The other party came on strong, and before Lin Xi could even introduce them, they were already spewing a string of insults, claiming they couldn't handle many orders.

He needed to find both the head of the technical department and Duan Yiheng, his face flushed with anger and his brows furrowed.

Lin Xi apologized and said that the technical department had already conducted an emergency investigation, and asked him to go upstairs to the conference room.

Yin Fan had never encountered this situation before, so he seemed to be quite swayed by Lin Xi's tactics.

Once inside the elevator, he suddenly sized her up several times and asked, "What did you just say your name was?"

Lin Xi smiled and said, "I'm President Duan's secretary, my name is Lin Xi."

"When did your CEO Duan get a secretary?" the man asked suspiciously.

The elevator arrived, and Lin Xi nodded slightly, inviting him into the conference room.

Fortunately, the other party didn't dwell on this issue.

The administration department received the news and knew the situation was urgent, so they didn't mess things up.

Lin Xi entered the conference room, subtly checked everything, and then left with peace of mind.

Inside, saliva was flying everywhere. One side was the old man, and the other was the grandson. Lin Xi didn't dare to leave and stood guard outside the door.

We should at least wait until Duan Yiheng returns.

The agreed-upon two hours ended up taking twenty minutes.

When Duan Yiheng led Qin Yang out of the elevator, Lin Xi realized that her back was covered in fine beads of sweat.

Duan Yiheng passed by her, glanced at her, and went into the conference room.

Lin Xi slowly relaxed, letting out a long breath.

Less than ten minutes later, Qin Yang came out, saw that she was still there, and smiled:

“I knew you were still here. Everything’s alright now. President Duan said you did a great job and told you to do what you’re supposed to do.”

Lin Xi: "Okay, I'll be going now."

"Go ahead, rest for a while first."

Lin Xi had been praised before, and when she entered the elevator, she laughed like a fool for a long time.

Back in the training room, Sun Wenxin pulled her aside and asked her several questions.

Upon learning that Duan Yiheng had returned to the company, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, just like her.

After getting off work, Lin Xi was about to go home when she suddenly received a call from Duan Yiheng.

She quickly answered, "Mr. Duan."

"Come to the 36th floor, I have something to tell you."

Lin Xi responded, and Duan Yiheng hung up the phone.

Not knowing what he wanted to see her about, Lin Xi hurried over to his place.

Upon entering the 36th floor and exiting the elevator, Lin Xi encountered Qin Yang and another man. Lin Xi guessed that they were Duan Yiheng's other assistant, Tian, ​​who was about to be promoted.

Sure enough, the other party greeted them.

Lin Xi also replied politely.

Qin Yang slightly raised his chin: "Go in, President Duan is waiting for you."

Lin Xi gently knocked on the solid wood office door, and Duan Yiheng's deep voice penetrated the door panel:

"Come in."
