Chapter 436 Heartless in a CEO Novel (16)
On Monday, the cicadas were chirping loudly.
Xia Youmi arrived at the company building just as the morning rush hour was at its peak. Yu Li dropped her off, and they exchanged a silly kiss before waving goodbye to start a new day.
Of these, 30% were deliberate and 70% were smug. This left those with romantic intentions dumbfounded; they practically wanted to stare a hole through Yu Li's car.
Yu Li's willingness to take a stroll made her walk with much more confidence at work.
He understands that relationships with boundaries are more likely to last.
However, I do not dislike possessiveness that goes too far or actions that assert sovereignty.
They only avoided separating when they knew Xia Youmi didn't like things to be excessive, even though their commutes were so close.
However, things are different today. Give him a little space to perform, and he can act with nine-tenths sincerity.
The results were obvious, and both of them were very satisfied.
Today, the first thing I did after arriving at work was move into the brand new office, unpack my belongings, and the logistics team was on standby to help carry them upstairs. There were even people vying to do this job.
The new office is on the nineteenth floor, and ordinary employees are not authorized to come up here by elevator.
Above that is the top floor of the group, where President Shao Yunshen is located.
His office has always been shrouded in mystery; however, there is a private elevator on the top floor that goes directly to their area, facilitating internal communication at any time.
When Xia Youmi and the logistics staff brought the furniture up, An Yubei and Luo Yu had already chosen their spots. Their tables and chairs were arranged in a triangular shape, with the direction the president's private elevator door opened as the reference point, leaving Xia Youmi with only one spot.
In other words, she was closest to the elevator, but with her back to the exit, meaning only the back of her head could be seen by the person behind her, who might also glimpse the programs running on the computer. The other two, on the other hand, were facing the elevator entrance, which at least made their faces more memorable.
"Is this alright, Secretary Xia?"
"Okay, thank you!"
"You're too kind. Just let us know next time you need to do this kind of physical work," the logistics worker who was helping with the moving said with a smile. He took the water that Xia Youmi handed him and hesitated as if he was about to wring it out.
"Okay!" Xia Youmi understood and took out her phone to show her friend code.
His eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly and silently began operating the device, not even noticing Xia Youmi's subtle movement as he inadvertently moved closer.
Just pure joy.
He wasn't thinking anything of it; it was just that a senior colleague had advised him to cultivate good relationships with the assistants so that the president would often think of them if he needed anything in the future.
It is one of the shortcuts to finding a way out.
but,
It is said that success is rarely achieved on the first try.
The young man was so caught up in his joy that he momentarily forgot his senior's warning to be careful not to fall into a trap of being taken advantage of.
An Yubei and Luo Yu exchanged glances, flipped through the roster and the upcoming itinerary in their hands, and began to make some plans.
After the relocation was completed, the workload increased dramatically, although I still couldn't see the president in person; he seemed to be away on a business trip, accompanied by his trusted assistant.
The secretariat's work mainly involves internal communication between superiors and subordinates, while the top direct superior is still Director Kim, who also issues orders. Unlike before, it can be sensed that Kim Soon-mi is now merely a conduit for communication and no longer plays a direct decision-making role.
On the surface, the three got along harmoniously.
They are not the kind of people who would easily become a laughing stock; their work abilities are undoubtedly outstanding.
In the process of familiarizing themselves with new business and reviewing old documents, each step has been more remarkable than the last.
Clearly, this positive cycle pleased the group's middle and senior management, who began to increase their cooperation.
The smoother things went, the greater the workload became. Gradually, the tasks became so numerous that they were buried under piles of documents, leading to reasonable suspicion that someone was outwardly praising them while secretly sabotaging them.
For a time, no one had the energy to do anything special, and everyone was in a daze after get off work.
But after seeing Xia Youmi being picked up by her handsome boyfriend and laughing so carelessly, the other two felt their resentment deepen. Especially since Xia Youmi was kind-hearted; she didn't even say she was faking it.
Faced with this nitpicking task, she couldn't possibly dedicate herself fully. It was simply trapping her in a false sense of respectability, repeating the same labor as any other professional job.
It's unclear how long it will take for the other two recent graduates to realize the situation and uncover the suspicious points. Since their attention isn't focused on Xia Youmi, they wouldn't believe them even if they told her.
She can only use written programs to replace her brain and hands, and spend the rest of her spare time researching a new discipline—animal medicine under modern technology.
In other words, it's reasonable that Yu Li is so attentive to Niannian and so focused on her research into technology.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
On the eve of Christmas, Xia Youmi informed her colleagues and supervisor in advance that they would not be working overtime on the weekend, and went to the examination hall with Yu Li.
Perhaps Yu Li never expected that, after all the twists and turns, his girlfriend would be taking the same postgraduate entrance exam as him. Although it was a part-time program, it wasn't something that could be mastered overnight.
He had already contacted his own academic discipline and advisor, and was pursuing a specialized path. Entering the examination room only required him to receive a certificate of his grades.
But given how his girlfriend is, it seems she has no intention of changing careers.
Thus, during the final two months of intensive study, when the two were studying and exchanging ideas together, Yu Li still managed to ask for the answer.
It was a bit absurd, but his gut feeling told him it was true.
Xia Youmi said she just wanted a proper place to perform animal surgeries, to practice her skills, and to conveniently obtain a license to provide for her annual needs.
He couldn't quite articulate his feelings; it seemed he shouldn't have questioned his girlfriend's distrust of him.
But the truth is, Xia Youmi did not entrust Niannian's safety entirely to her boyfriend Yu Li.
He was disappointed, but then Nian Nian herself rubbed against him for comfort. The situation was a bit complicated; it wasn't that he didn't trust her, but rather that Youmi didn't know what form Nian Nian would take when she awakened next.
We can only make the most pessimistic plans.
contrast,
Although Yu Li could not fully understand, seeing how seriously You Mi and Niannian studied together, he felt that having the whole world did not mean he needed to understand everything. Having the opportunity to cherish it was enough.
After a brief period of stagnation, the two became even closer, and their learning efficiency soared.
It learns by following along every year, or rather, it is the one that guides the direction. Its perception of its own physical condition is something it rarely manages to communicate to its owner.
Occasionally, the inability to express one's feelings verbally is a pain shared by both young children and non-humans, a pain born of unconsciousness.
While Xia Youmi and Yu Li were taking the exam, a meeting with all attendees was taking place on the nineteenth floor of the Shen Tower.
The meeting was about the New Year's Eve dinner arrangements. This was a last-minute assignment from Shao Yunshen to his secretariat. Although he didn't pay much attention to it, it was just a routine year-end inspection by a few partners he didn't like.
Even if they don't allow people to come, the other party can still maintain their own sanctimonious facade by relying on the association.
Shao Yunshen simply let Shenta's people control the process.
This was the first time he had directly issued a task to the secretariat. Xia Youmi's absence did not affect who would preside over the process; as long as she returned on a weekday, she could carry it out.
Therefore, she was unaware that the other two had been wronged and wanted to get revenge at the banquet.
Even if they knew, they would only curse Shao Yunshen three hundred times.
In an attempt to stir up conflict, this person retrieved the programs Xia Youmi had created in the previous three months to cope with work, from the pile of reports she had thrown into the technical department for filing.
It was also given to two other people.
Although, given the progress of the technical department's testing and her deliberate attempt to steer the usage in an unorthodox manner, it shouldn't have been discovered.
At least, the male lead won't see it so soon.
This can only be explained by the fact that Shao Yunshen had been keeping a close eye on Xia Youmi's movements.
However, they still underestimated the opponent's profit-driven radar and overestimated her stealth skills.
......
The banquet was more formal than the last New Year's celebration.
The guests coming and going were mostly strangers to Xia Youmi, who had made the information public. They would always walk up to her with a cold expression, trying to wait for her to greet them.
At this time,
There would definitely be An Yubei or Luo Yu guarding her, and when Xia Youmi showed confusion, they would smile and familiarly pull her away.
The apologetic expression that suggested it was inconvenient to introduce her to Xia Youmi, along with the unanimous disdain shown by some of the guests, all contributed to the scene.
She wouldn't believe it even if you told her there were no ghosts.
However, although he didn't attend the dinner setup meeting, it was impossible for him not to inform her.
She avoided the staff arrangements and guest introductions, but she still managed to get the specific information in advance.
She knew the names of these pretentious people, and that they belonged to the same group she had met at the welcome dinner. Trying to use the class difference to discourage her was really pointless.
Thus, let's consider another form of protagonist treatment.
If you add a whole bunch of melodramatic love, hate, and revenge, it becomes a real spectacle.
In the latter half of the banquet, important figures appeared one after another, with even Shao Yunshen personally attending the social gatherings.
The two men, who didn't want Xia Youmi to embarrass the boss, were dumbfounded as they watched Xia Youmi smoothly call out the surnames of the higher-ranking guests.
Then, the conversation was tailored to the other person's interests, and the conversation flowed smoothly.
They created a stage for her to perform on.
