The cliché story of a domineering president and his secretary

"Sister An An, it's already lunch time, why are you still busy? Do you want to go eat together?" A female colleague passing by asked with a smile. An Yi recognized her. She was a smart and capable sales engineer.

"Oh, sorry, I've already ordered takeout." An Yi apologized with regret.

"Let's go out to eat together next time, and walk around after dinner to help digestion."

"Sister An An is so thin. She's not like us who have to exercise after eating. I'm so envious!" Another girl from the nearby department also joined the chat.

Everyone laughed and talked for a few words before dispersing.

And Anyi also breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

An Yi had expected and understood this situation. Whether it was because she was new to the company or because her position was insignificant, An Yi had basically not established any friendships with other colleagues except for those who were related in terms of duties or a few colleagues in similar positions.

Today's change has undoubtedly greatly increased her popularity and put her in a prominent position.

After all, she was the first individual employee in the company to report directly to the big boss.

Maybe others would enjoy this feeling of being the leader, but An Yi felt a little distressed and depressed. In addition to having to face the tyrant, there were also the meaningless small talk and socializing just now, which would also make everyone curious about her background and personal information.

Yes, An Yi still understands the innate gossipy nature of human beings. It may not be objective to say this, but after all, knowing yourself and your enemy is also for better development of future work.

At this time, among the crowd of people walking out of the company in twos and threes, some people had already started discussing this newcomer.

"I heard that she is not young anymore, over 30 years old."

"Ah, she doesn't look like that! I thought she was not even 30 yet." Upon hearing the news, the unmarried young girls still felt very secure and superior, it turned out that she was an older sister, hehe.

"Mary from HR said that she has a daughter who's already grown up, and, and..." She lowered her voice on purpose to attract the attention of the students, "She's divorced!"

"Ah! Ah! Really? This is too shocking! I am already surprised that this position is recruiting people over 30 years old, but...does he have any background?"

"No, no, because people either don't want to do her position or they always leave. Manager Lu is fed up with it, so she doesn't choose."

"Oh, that's right. It's true. This position has no future and is boring as hell. The pay is not much either." From her accent, she seemed to be a girl from Jiangsu or Zhejiang.

"I haven't finished yet! Stop interrupting me."

"Ah, there are more revelations. She has a lot of stories!"

"This older sister had worked full-time for many years and is now returning to the workplace."

"Yeah, I can't tell. She seems to be quite professional at work and is a very down-to-earth person. During the meeting, even though the boss looked so fierce, he looked at her calmly."

"Yes, that's because she also worked for a Fortune 500 company before she became a full-time employee. She was the assistant to the general manager, which was a better position than her current one."

"No wonder, I can still see it now."

As a result, these contents, or even more detailed or exaggerated contents, spread throughout the company at lightning speed.

While everyone was amazed at An Yi's extraordinary resume, they were also relieved. Compared with these young elites in their prime, An Yi's resume was really not good enough, and could even be said to be shabby.

Some people sympathize, some people are disdainful, and some people just laugh it off as if it has nothing to do with them.

But there is one advantage of working directly under a big boss: no matter what attitude one has towards An Yi, everyone can remain outwardly kind.

When you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner. Of course, this metaphor is really bad, but society is so realistic and cruel. Although no one would say this anti-human thing, in this position, no matter how humble or insignificant, others will not easily cause trouble to you. This has been the case since ancient times. It doesn't matter if you have an easy life.

An Yi didn't know at this moment that the elites' gossip efficiency was as high as their work efficiency. She and the members of the gossip group were having lunch in the tea room.

The girls in the gossip group actually knew An Yi's resume a long time ago. After all, they knew her earlier, and knowing teammates was also for the purity and unity of the team. Although no one showed any of it in front of An Yi. In addition to their excellent professional qualities, the girls were also very kind-hearted.

At this moment, An Yi was picking at the food in front of him absentmindedly.

Before lunch break, she didn't find a chance to confirm her trivial matters with the big boss. He was too busy, so he asked Li Xiaomeng to order lunch and discuss with several supervisors.

The other people looked at An Yi's expression. They knew what An Yi thought of the big boss. In addition, the dangerous atmosphere in the meeting room today, so they did not congratulate her. Instead, they advised with some sympathy:

"Sister An An, although the boss has a bad temper, he is still a very good person."

"Yes, yes, as a boss he is really excellent. Smart, responsible, and capable of taking on responsibilities, um - um..." He couldn't continue.

They admire the things about their bosses, such as: he is a second-generation rich, he is successful in his career, he is of similar age to them, he has a good appearance and figure, he is decisive and domineering, etc.

But to Sister An An, these seem...useless.

Sister An An only cares about one thing: whether the boss has a good temper. And this is really their boss's biggest shortcoming.

This scene today is definitely not the first time, and of course it won't be the last. In the future, Sister An An will have to face the storm head-on, without anyone in front of her to help her support.

An Yi looked up and saw the hesitant expressions of the girls who didn't know how to persuade him. He couldn't help but feel touched. He smiled sincerely and thanked them: "Thank you! Don't worry, I'm a grown-up. Although I'm afraid of the boss's temper, I can't be scared to death!" An Yi made an exaggerated expression. Everyone laughed.

Thinking of An Yi's calm performance in front of the boss today, Zhou Ya admired: "Sister An An's performance today was amazing. If the boss glared at me like that, I would have already..."

"She threw herself into his arms!" Qin Shan interrupted. Zhou Ya was so angry that she pushed Qin Shan. The two of them made a mess. An Yi and the others also laughed softly.

After all, they were in the company and the big boss was there. Although they were playing around, they were also keeping an eye on everything and listening carefully. When doing things, the most important thing is to have a sense of propriety. Talking about the boss behind his back without being discovered is the most important principle in the workplace!

After returning to his seat, An Yi glanced at the president's office again. The door was still tightly closed, probably because he was still in a meeting.

About half an hour later, the door of the president's office was opened and people came out one after another, including Manager Lu. He asked Li Xiaomeng to find the cleaning staff to clean up the garbage left after the meal.

Then he looked at An Yi and said, "An Yi, go report to CEO Ding later." After a pause, he continued, "There shouldn't be anything that needs to be handed over in the sales department. Li Xiaomeng will continue to guide you in future work for a month."

An Yi quickly stood up and agreed with a smile. This was the first official order given to her by her immediate superior, and she didn't expect it to be a handover of work.

An Yi observed that the cleaning staff had finished cleaning, so she picked up her notepad and pen and gently knocked on the door of the president's office.

"Come in." A deep but penetrating male voice.

When I pushed the door open, the scene was just as I had imagined. The big boss was busy at his desk with a serious face, without even raising his head.

An Yi walked in quietly and stood in front of the big desk: "Hello, Mr. Ding, I'm An Yi, here to report to you."

Ding Hong raised his head and observed An Yi closely and clearly for the first time.

His facial features were delicate and there was nothing outstanding about them that would make people unforgettable at first sight, but there was nothing disgusting about them either.

If we have to find some advantages, they would be the clear and gentle eyes and the slightly upturned corners of the mouth.

Some of them have baby faces and are bare-faced like they did that day. Perhaps because of this, their skin is in good condition and time has left no traces on their faces.

His hands are slender, and he doesn't look like someone who works hard.

It seems that his life is not in financial difficulty due to his marital status.

She is not short, but a little too thin. Is she too sad to eat? I think so because of the photo on An Yi's resume. It was taken two years ago when she applied for a tourist visa. She was obviously rounder than now.

While Ding Hong was observing An Yi, An Yi was also secretly observing her direct superior.

Ding Hong's appearance is not exquisite and handsome. He has sharp eyebrows, dark eyes with sharp peaks, a high nose bridge, and thin lips.

This is one of the looks that An Yi has never been interested in.

She likes fair-skinned, tall, thin, gentle and intellectual handsome men, although her bestie viciously commented that he is a beast in human clothing.

What's more, the boss's captivating aura and tall stature with a strong sense of oppression made An Yi want to stay away as soon as he saw him, for fear that he would beat him up if he was unhappy.

So An Yi just took a look and then lost interest, silently waiting for the boss to give instructions, with his eyes looking at his nose, his nose looking at his mouth, and his mouth looking at his heart.

"Just keep doing what you are doing at work. I will give you one month to master your work thoroughly. If you make any mistakes in the future, I will not listen to any explanations."

An Yi nodded without any objection. Oh, she thought of her first boss again. The dark days were about to come again. So painful!
