"I would, but you can't...can't..."
Song Nuan hesitated for a long time and was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Qin Fan stood in front of her, looking down at her.
"You are my subordinate. I am the only one who can make demands on you. You have no right to make demands on me. I make the final decision on everything. You must obey my orders. Do you understand?"
"……Understood."
"You probably haven't had dinner yet, go help Gao Wen serve the dishes."
Song Nuan pouted as she walked towards the kitchen. After a few steps, she suddenly turned back and said, "Boss, can I really buy this pair of earrings? I just checked Tong Ling's official website, and the official price is 4,300."
Qin Fan didn't even raise his eyelids. "Is four thousand three a lot?"
"This amount of money may not be much for you, but it's a huge sum for me, a recent graduate. Ever since I put on these earrings, I've felt uneasy, always feeling like I've done something wrong..."
Song Nuan couldn't help but speak her mind, "Boss, I don't want these earrings."
"I understand what you mean. If I were you, I would be nervous about accepting a gift on my first day at work, but have you ever thought about the consequences of returning the gift?"
Song Nuan shook her head, and Qin Fan continued, "Vice President Lin should have brought gifts for Secretary Shen and Secretary Lin as well. If you return the gifts, what will they do? Should they return them or not?"
"If I return it, I'll lose a pair of earrings. If I don't return it, I'll feel like I've been slapped in the face by you. How will they look at you?"
"Furthermore, as my assistant, your actions, to a certain extent, represent my attitude. If you return the gift, what will Vice President Lin think? Will he think that my attitude towards him has changed and refuse to cooperate with him?"
Song Nuan had never thought that simply returning a gift would have so many meanings. Not only would it offend Shen Bing and Lin Xia, it would also cause misunderstandings on Lin Ziliang's side. Her mind became even more confused for a moment.
"Do I have to go along with the bad guys and accept these earrings?"
"Secretary Shen and Secretary Lin won't be happy if you say that."
"That's not what I meant. I just don't think it's right."
"If you think this is morally unacceptable, you can choose to resign. Similar things will happen frequently in the future. Anyone who wants to get in touch with me will inevitably bribe the people around me. The methods are all kinds of strange, some of which you can't even imagine."
"You'll find that most of the things we use in life, such as gas cards, supermarket gift cards, mobile phones, iPads and other small gifts, are so numerous that we can't use them all. Do we have to return them every time?"
Song Nuan was bewildered. What she experienced today was too much of a shock to her. She had been in school for more than ten years, and both her parents and teachers had taught her not to accept gifts from others casually. But on her first day at work, she received such valuable earrings, and there was no way to return them.
"If you still can't figure it out, buy them a gift of equal value in return, but these earrings cannot be returned."
Song Nuan smiled bitterly, "It's more than 4,000 yuan. How can I afford a return gift?"
"This is not okay, that is not okay, why are you so troublesome?"
Seeing the boss getting angry, Song Nuan shrank her neck and said, "Then I'd better keep it."
"Lao Qin, what are you doing? You can't even serve the dishes when I ask you to?"
Gao Wen's voice was heard from the kitchen again. Song Nuan came back to her senses and hurried into the kitchen. Seeing Gao Wen cooking in an apron, she immediately greeted her.
"Hello, Sister Gao Wen, I'm the new assistant, Song Nuan."
Gao Wen glanced at her and had forgotten what happened on the bus yesterday, so she didn't recognize Song Nuan at first.
"Old Qin, when did you change your assistant?"
"Yang Zixi has been transferred to Tongling as vice president, and I'm here to take her place. Strictly speaking, I'm now Secretary Shen's assistant."
"Bring these dishes out."
Gao Wen didn't care how many assistants Qin Fan had. Judging from Song Nuan's appearance and figure, she was not a threat to her, so it naturally didn't matter to her.
After all the dishes were placed on the table, Gao Wen opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for both of them.
"Try it now and see how good my cooking is."
.......
798: Train Song Nuan! Let’s eat together!
Qin Fan picked up a piece of food and tasted it with the mentality of charging into the battlefield.
I unexpectedly discovered that the taste was quite good and it was beyond the realm of dark cuisine.
"Of course! I didn't expect that you, a former big star, also have cooking skills. I really underestimated you. Song Nuan, you should try it too."
"oh.".
Song Nuan was also hungry at this time, so she didn't bother to be polite with them. She ate with a mouthful of rice and a bite of vegetables, enjoying herself very much.
"It's delicious. Sister Gao Wen's cooking skills are really good."
Gao Wen smiled reservedly. "Don't think big stars can't cook. When I first came to Shanghai, I was a low-profile model, not even an 18th-tier model. I was broke, and to save money, I had to cook in a rented apartment. That's when I honed my cooking skills."
"If you like, I'll do it for you every day."
"You cook at home every day. Aren't you worried about being smoky and becoming a yellow-faced woman?"
"That's true. If my looks really deteriorate due to the fumes, it will be hard for me to become popular again. Oh! Not appearing in front of the camera for a long time is a serious waste of my face."
"..."
Seeing Gao Wen start to admire herself again, Qin Fan and Song Nuan rolled their eyes at the same time.
After the meal, Song Nuan slumped in the chair in a very ungraceful manner, rubbing her stomach with both hands. She ate the most among the three people. Qin Fan and Gao Wen both looked at her.
Song Nuan felt very uncomfortable being stared at by the two for a long time. When she saw the plates on the table, she understood what they meant and quickly stood up to clear the table.
"Your little assistant is a bit dull. I really don't know what you like about her."
"Don't you think she's cute?"
"Why, are you moved?"
"I just think it's nice to have a cute girl around to please the eyes."
Gao Wen snorted lightly and stopped arguing with him.
She had already experienced Qin Fan's fickleness and was too lazy to talk about him.
"My birthday is in a few days, you must remember to prepare a gift for me."
"You're having a birthday?"
Qin Fan was stunned. In the past, Yang Zixi would always prepare for him in advance for similar things, but when it came to Song Nuan, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
If Gao Wen hadn't brought it up today, I would have probably forgotten about it.
"What gift do you want?"
"Of course the more surprising the gift, the better. It would be boring if you told me about it."
"You're right. The jewelry box on the coffee table contains new items sent by Tongling. I'm just offering them to you."
"Let me see."
When Gao Wen heard that there was jewelry, her eyes lit up. She walked over and opened the jewelry box, and found a diamond ring and a diamond necklace inside.
"Come here and help me put it on."
"so troublesome!"
Qin Fan helped her put it on. Gao Wen turned around and asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"
"You're a natural clothes hanger. All fashions and jewelry look perfect on you. There's no need to ask me if they look good on you. You look great in everything you wear."
"You're so sweet! I'll give you a reward~!"
Gao Wen stood on tiptoe and kissed him, then ran back to the bedroom excitedly and admired herself in the mirror.
Song Nuan finished washing the dishes and came out, "Boss, is there anything else?"
"It's okay, you can go back. I forgot to ask you, how did you get here?"
"I came here by taxi."
"Take a taxi? Doesn't the company have a car?"
Speaking of this incident, Song Nuan immediately thought of what happened after get off work. She was also very puzzled and always felt that the incident was very strange, so she told the whole story.
"Boss, why are they so aggressive towards me? And I feel like they have bad intentions, so I didn't dare to get in their car."
Qin Fan rolled his eyes at her, "Do you know what's most important as a secretary? It's confidentiality! You have to keep your mouth shut!"
"I asked you to deliver something to me, and you went off and made a scene? You've made the whole company know about it. Do you think that's appropriate? If something like this happens once, it'll leave me with the impression that you're unreliable. How would I dare to employ you again?"
Song Nuan was stunned. "...But Sister Lin told me to go down and ask if there are any unused cars."
"Lin Xia asked you to ask for a car, so why don't you just ask them directly for it? Who would dare to refuse you? Why did you tell them your purpose?"
"Luckily, you're not stupid enough to ask someone else to deliver the item. If someone else had appeared in front of me today, it would mean you're useless and I would definitely fire you."
Song Nuan was so angry that her chest was about to swell. "They are so mean. They only know how to bully newcomers and deliberately set a trap for me."
"You can't say they're all bad guys. They all have their own agenda. Who wouldn't want to meet me, their boss, and have a few words? Even if they don't say anything, just to become familiar with me is an opportunity many people would love to have. How could they not be tempted if you go down and start yelling?"
Song Nuan bowed and apologized with tears in her eyes, "Boss, I know I was wrong! I won't say that again."
.......
799: A big fight! Is Song Nuan buying this?
Qin Fan smiled. "Alright, don't feel wronged. You've just graduated from school and you don't know a lot of things. Your first job is to be my assistant, which is like a sudden rise to fame. I don't know how many people envy you and how many pairs of eyes are staring at you, waiting for you to make a mistake."
"It doesn't matter if you make mistakes. Just remember one principle: follow me. From now on, no matter who you meet or what you say, remember it all in your heart and never tell anyone."
"No matter who in the company tries to get close to you or ask you about me, you must not say anything, understand?"
After hearing this, Song Nuan nodded continuously, "Yeah, after this lesson, I will definitely not say anything."
Qin Fan laughed again, "What if I hinted to you to tell others? You still wouldn't tell others?"
Song Nuan was stunned. "Ah? Then what should I do?"
"This is really hard to explain. You and I are still in the adjustment period, so you need to observe my behavior and try to understand my thoughts. There are some things I can't say, so you have to speak for me."
Seeing that Song Nuan still looked dazed, Qin Fan probably didn't understand, and he felt helpless.
"Let's get used to each other slowly. With time, you'll know what to do. For now, if you're undecided about anything, just ask me."
"I see, boss, you are such a nice person!"
Although Song Nuan didn't seem very smart, she could feel Qin Fan's good intentions. He wanted to train her, which made her feel much better.
"How are you going to deal with this matter today?" Qin Fan suddenly asked.
"Isn't it all over?"
"They set a trap for you and are bullying you. Of course you have to retaliate!"
Song Nuan was startled, "I never thought of taking revenge on them..."
"You must retaliate! You must demonstrate your authority in front of those people and warn them that you are not to be trifled with. You are my confidant. Although your position is relatively low, you must maintain a high attitude. If you act as if nothing happened, who will take you seriously in the future?"
"Then what should I do?"
Qin Fan glared at him, "I'm asking you a question, and you're asking me a question instead?"
Song Nuan made a bitter face, "But I don't know!"
"Why did I end up with such a blockhead..."
Qin Fan was speechless and said viciously, "You are the most famous assistant I have ever seen. How about this, you become the boss and I will be your assistant?"
Knowing that Qin Fan was speaking in anger, Song Nuan didn't dare to respond and bowed again to apologize.
Her sincere attitude of admitting her mistakes actually made Qin Fan feel confused. He couldn't even vent his anger and could only patiently guide her thinking.
"Let me help you think about this. You came to deliver something to me, ran downstairs to find a car, and then some people jumped out, seemingly wanting to help, but actually trying to steal your opportunity. Is that right?"
"The core of this matter is the car. If you want to show your authority, you must make an example of someone and cause trouble for the driver!"
Song Nuan shrank her head. "You mean to ask me to fire a certain driver?"
Qin Fan: "Is it really necessary to lose someone's job for such a trivial matter?"
Song Nuan: "Then I'll go and give them all a good scolding tomorrow?"
Qin Fan: "Why are you scolding them? They are just going to work and doing their job normally. They haven't made any mistakes. Why are you scolding them?"
Song Nuan: "This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. What should I do?"
