Gently bite the jasmine

On Friday, due to an employee meeting, the onboarding training for Lin Xi, Sun Wenxin, and others ended early.

At the company, Lin Xi didn't want to ride in Duan Yiheng's car, so she took the company shuttle bus with Sun Wenxin.

It took forty minutes of winding and turning to get to the old campus of Yinfan Technology.

Seeing the receptionist here, Lin Xi asked Sun Wenxin with some surprise, "Is someone at the reception here going to resign?"

Sun Wenxin shook her head: "Our General Manager Duan is capable. Not only has the new park expanded, but the business has also grown. There are more visitors and meetings, so naturally we need to hire more front desk staff. Moreover, one of the older front desk staff members has been transferred to the Human Resources Department."

It turned out to be the case.

The meeting started promptly at 3 p.m. Lin Xi was not directly involved in the meeting arrangements due to training; she was only asked to take meeting minutes.

Duan Yiheng entered the auditorium right on time, and there was immediate silence.

Ordinary employees could only catch a glimpse of Yin Fan's heir from afar at this time.

Duan Yiheng's meetings were not as long and tedious as those of his former boss.

He was brief and to the point, getting straight to the point.

"Recently, a major human error occurred within the company..."

Duan Yiheng spoke clearly and calmly, explaining in detail what had happened and the purpose of the meeting.

He announced the termination of the employment contracts of the offending personnel with the company, and reserved the right to pursue legal action against them in light of the potential losses to the cooperating bank and its clients.

"No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes, but the company and I have zero tolerance for this kind of behavior that disregards the rules, crosses the line, and digs its own grave."

"But after this incident, the company will also devote more effort to optimizing its internal promotion mechanism..."

This news is good news for those on the inside.

Lin Xi took notes of the key points, and Duan Yiheng then took the opportunity of the meeting to talk about relocating to the new industrial park.

Duan Yiheng said that once the relevant departments have inspected and approved the project, it is expected that the residents can move in within two to four weeks.

The crowd below instantly erupted in noise, clearly eagerly anticipating the new park.

The old office space in the park can no longer meet the needs of the growing workforce, and since Yinfan Technology likes to recruit young talent, a beautiful and comfortable working environment is one of the advantageous measures.

After the staff meeting ended, Lin Xi organized the meeting materials.

The next day was Saturday, and everyone rushed out of the house.

Lin Xi was sensitive; she raised her head and met the gaze of Chen Jingyi in the second row.

Lin Xi had already figured out her position after their first meeting—Business Manager of Yinfan Technology.

Therefore, Lin Xi was not too surprised that Chen Jingyi was here.

Duan Yiheng followed her gaze and saw this scene. He frowned slightly and called out, "Secretary Lin."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Mr. Duan, is there anything else you need?"

Duan Yiheng's lips twitched slightly: "Is that a professional fake smile?"

Lin Xi: "...So are you alright or not?"

Duan Yiheng: "Come with me in my car. I'll need you to handle the follow-up issues from the meeting."

Lin Xi agreed.

Duan Yiheng was worried, so he asked Qin Yang to teach her.

The car that came to the park was a Bentley Mulsanne long wheelbase four-seater, which made up the four people including the driver.

Lin Xi, upholding professional ethics, reached for the front passenger door, but Duan Yiheng stopped her, saying, "You sit in the back."

Qin Yang, without suspecting anything, gentlemanly opened the back door for Lin Xi.

Lin Xi smiled and thanked him, then sat down next to Duan Yiheng.

Qin Yang got into the front passenger seat, turned around slightly, and said, "Secretary Lin, your work scope is extremely broad, and I can't take over everything all at once. I will guide you for a while."

Lin Xi's bottom was only about a third of the way on the seat. She nodded slightly and smiled, "Please give me your guidance."

"The matter is actually not difficult. Apart from the trivial administrative tasks, the most important thing is naturally the work involving the company's core business. Take today's employee meeting for example, you also need to have the meeting content confirmed by General Manager Duan and then notify all departments."

“I understand,” Lin Xi said proactively. “We also need to clarify the tasks of each department and follow up with assistance.”

Qin Yang gave her an approving look: "In addition, you should keep your phone on all day on your days off. If President Duan has any work-related activities on the weekend, you need to confirm the time, location, and detailed information of the participants."

Lin Xi: "Understood."

These points were also mentioned during the training.

"However, you can have a good rest this week. Under normal circumstances, Mr. Duan will inform you in advance."

Lin Xi nodded.

The driver stopped the car when he was on some unknown road.

Qin Yang lived nearby.

Because he was being driven, the driver took a detour, and Lin Xi dozed off as the driver drove smoothly.

Duan Yiheng didn't know that she was looking at materials very late at night, and thought that she hadn't slept well last night because of Duan Mingxuan and his mother.

Duan Yiheng glanced at Lin Xi, who was sleeping soundly, and his expression softened unconsciously.

This was the second time she had fallen asleep in her car. Compared to the first time she was drunk, she clearly trusted him more this time.

Duan Yiheng took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders. He then noticed the notebook beside her and openly opened it to take a look.

She used a laptop to take meeting minutes today; the paper notebook contained all the training content.

His handwriting is just like his personality—elegant and neat.

Duan Yiheng's fingertips paused slightly as he turned to the latest page.

A brand new page appeared, containing information completely unrelated to the job description: December 23rd, Saturday, Duan Yiheng's birthday. Remember to buy him a gift and have a piece of blueberry cake with him.

After a long silence, Duan Yiheng put away the notebook and gently placed it beside Lin Xi.

He could almost imagine that every year from now on, he would have even more to look forward to.

Lin Xi woke up as the car pulled into the villa.

She was a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushed with the sweet blush of someone who had just fallen asleep, as she got off the bus.

Unfortunately, Duan Mingxuan spotted her again on the second floor and instinctively hid behind the curtains.

Lin Xi got out of Duan Yiheng's car.

Duan Mingxuan paused, then called Yu Lang to ask if he had found anything.

Yu Lang comforted him, "Wait a little longer, what's the rush?"

Duan Mingxuan was restless and anxious, but he didn't know what he was anxious about.

Lin Xi returned to her room, took a shower, threw her dirty clothes into the laundry basket, and then video-called Liang Yutong.

"To be honest, I still find it a bit unbelievable that you became Duan Yiheng's secretary," Liang Yutong said.

Lin Xi asked with a smile, "What's so magical about this?"

Liang Yutong: "Well, I used to think you two weren't in the same circle."

Lin Xi: "I'm not in the same circle as him anymore."

Liang Yutong was amused by her: "Your circles are different, probably because of your age. Think about it, he has graduated from university, and you are not yet an adult."

"You can't think like that. I'm already working, but he's still single," Lin Xi suddenly joked.

Liang Yutong: "I'm actually really curious, has your older brother never been in a relationship?"

Lin Xi: "They may have talked about it, but we just didn't know it. He studied abroad for a few years, didn't he?"

Liang Yutong thought about it and realized it was quite possible.

"Come with me to the mall tomorrow to buy a gift," Lin Xi said.

Liang Yutong gossiped: "Who was it given to?"

Lin Xi: "It's Duan Yiheng's birthday."

"Now that he's your boss, you have to give him a timely birthday greeting, considering all the social niceties."

Lin Xi was taken aback; she hadn't thought of that.

"Does it have to be this way?"

Liang Yutong: "It doesn't matter to the other employees, you're the secretary, aren't you?"

Lin Xi quickly set her alarm and went to work, knowing she needed to navigate social interactions.
