Others had not yet reacted when Yu Ziyue began to wail.
A month's salary! She had just advanced her salary for the month, and now she had to have a month's salary deducted. Hadn't she worked for free for two months?
Oh no, it wasn't entirely for nothing, as her food and accommodation were covered, which was still quite miserable!
"President... President!"
Once she snapped back to reality, Yu Ziyue quickly ran after the man. Qi Jiayou's long legs had already carried him towards his desk.
As soon as he sat down, a delicate fragrance of a young woman wafted towards him.
Unlike the heavy perfume worn by other female secretaries, he didn't dislike the scent emanating from her. However, Qi Jiayou didn't even glance at her, directly picking up the documents on his desk and quickly browsing through them.
Wow~
A man who works diligently is truly charismatic!
Through her interactions these past few days, she had learned a bit more, and her admiration for this man who had reached such a position at such a young age grew even stronger!
Seeing the man, who should have been a portrait on the wall, frown, Yu Ziyue immediately came to her senses. She hadn't forgotten that Qi Jiayou disliked being stared at.
This habit really needs to be changed! If you're good-looking, you should be seen. Why hide it?
If she were as beautiful as her sister, she'd go out and let people look at her every day!
But she didn't have time to think about that now; she was desperately poor!
"President, please don't deduct my salary. I've only just started, you know. If there's anything I do wrong, you could... turn a blind eye?"
Yu Ziyue spoke while observing Qi Jiayou's reaction, but she didn't detect anything!
Never mind, she thought, trying to figure out what a big shot like him was thinking was unrealistic.
However, what she just said was true. Qi Jiayou's face was perfectly smooth, without a single pore. At his age, he should have stubble, but his face was clean!
Managing such a large company, yet having the time to maintain himself so well. Did he have a legion of servants at home who doted on him, just waiting for him to spread his arms?
Imagining that scene, Yu Ziyue shook her head vehemently. It was too much like ancient emperors. They didn't have to do anything themselves; they had empresses and concubines above, and maids and eunuchs below.
But with Qi Jiayou's status, in ancient times, he would have been a monarch or a prince with significant military power!
Yu Ziyue waited for a long time, but only the rustling of paper filled the air. Looking down, she saw that he was indeed ignoring her.
The boss was good in every way, but he shouldn't always ignore her! She knew she wasn't important enough to talk to him, but that was a month's salary!
"President~ You see, I'm new here. Besides, at my age, even if I wanted to control myself, I couldn't, right?"
Still no reaction?
Yu Ziyue suddenly raised her voice: "President! Did you hear me?! Your assistant, Yu Ziyue, is summoning you!"
But before she could finish, she immediately received a death glare.
"Heh heh!"
Yu Ziyue retreated with a foolish grin. By the time she was near the door, she yanked the door open and bolted out...
She didn't stop until she reached her own seat, still catching her breath and patting her chest with her small hands.
Good heavens, this man was terrifying when he was angry!
Little did she know that after she left, the "very fierce" man immediately resumed his usual enigmatic demeanor and... asked about her whereabouts again!
Yu Ziyue knew none of this. She was lamenting the hardships of life when a phone call interrupted her self-pity.
She looked down at her phone. Oh my! She was just looking for a place to vent her frustration!
However, this was not the right place. She picked up her phone and hurried towards the restroom...
Behind her, a group of people resumed their hushed conversation.
"Tch~ Who does she think she is, daring to go and beg the president!"
One of them readily agreed, "Exactly. If we made such a mistake, the punishment would be much worse. And everyone knows that the more you plead, the harsher the punishment."
"But she's really lucky! The president fired that secretary but didn't fire her. Who knows what she was doing when she went to see the president just now?"
With that single remark, everyone's minds began to buzz with speculation...
Meanwhile, Yu Ziyue, who had just left, hadn't even reached the restroom when she answered her phone and roared, "Fan Nianzhi, you heartless wretch, where did you run off to?!"
They had agreed to come together, but she had run off to another city on her own!
Fan Nianzhi quickly pulled her phone away from her ear. Once the voice on the other end subsided, she brought the phone back and said guiltily, "I just heard that person was in City A, so..."
This time, Fan Nianzhi wisely held her phone further away in advance. As expected, she heard the familiar enraged shout from the other end: "So you abandoned me! Fan Nianzhi, we're no longer sisters, I'm telling you!"
Fan Nianzhi knew she was in the wrong and said coaxingly, "Don't be like that, Yueyue. How could I possibly abandon you? What's our relationship? You're my best sister!"
Hearing the silence on the other end, Fan Nianzhi knew her sister was still upset, so she continued, "My dear Yueyue, don't be angry. Wait a few days, and I'll treat you to a meal."
It seemed Niannian was doing well, which put her mind at ease. However, she still maintained a stern face and said, "Then you'd better be quick. Time waits for no one!"
Upon hearing this, Fan Nianzhi immediately understood that her sister was no longer holding a grudge. Her face lit up with joy as she replied, "Okay, wherever you want to go then, I'll treat!"
That was more like it. She should think carefully about where she wanted to go in the next few days and then extort her severely. Heh heh! All because she was so unreliable.
As soon as she hung up, her phone rang again.
Yu Ziyue casually answered, teasing, "If you want to give me something extra, I wouldn't mind!"
The woman on the other end sounded a bit puzzled, "Give what?"
Yu Ziyue's smile froze on her face. She dazedly took the phone away from her ear and realized it wasn't Fan Nianzhi.
But soon, she was smiling sweetly, "Mom, why did you suddenly think of calling me?"
The woman on the other end playfully chided, "Can't I call you just because? You've almost forgotten about your mother these past few days."
Yu Ziyue then remembered that she hadn't called her mother in days and felt a pang of guilt.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I've been a bit busy lately, so..."
Hearing her daughter's dejected voice, the woman felt a pang of sympathy. "Mom isn't blaming you, I just miss you!"
Hearing her mother say she missed her, Yu Ziyue couldn't help but feel a surge of longing. She decided to take some time off to visit her when she had a holiday.
Unexpectedly, the voice on the other end suddenly said, "Mom booked a flight for three days from now."
