The cliché story of a domineering president and his secretary

Ding Hong cleared his throat and was about to show off his eloquence when his cell phone rang. It could only be An Yi because his phone was turned off.

"Sorry, I have to take a call." Before he finished speaking, An Yi came out from behind the screen, holding the phone and walking quickly to the side hall, leaving Ding Hong in silence.

"Mom, is there something wrong?" An Yi stood in the bathroom: "I've had dinner. I was taking a shower just now and didn't hear the phone ring. Don't worry, I'm fine."

As she spoke, she looked around the bathroom environment, strolling around to check whether there were any equipment that shouldn't be there in any corners.

"Oh, did Youyou call you? We agreed to meet at 9 o'clock every night, and there's still some time left. Yes, she's doing well, too, don't worry."

In addition to weekend gatherings, Youyou would also call An Yi's parents during the week to say hello. After each call, her mother would excitedly tell An Yi about the details.

"I went home on the weekend. The company has been busy lately. The good thing is that there are overtime meals, and the standard is quite high. I ordered different meals with my colleagues and the food was very good."

An Yi had become more and more fluent in telling lies, because even though she had said it countless times, her mother still urged her to go home for food and shelter several times a week, so she had to repeat it over and over again to reassure her parents.

After finally ending the call with great effort, An Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then found that the phone screen showed several unchecked messages. Clicking on them, An Yi held his forehead with his hand, and it was indeed him, another person who was paying attention to her meal - Qin Lang.

Compared to her mother, she was more worried about dealing with Qin Lang. Since the beginning of her business trip, Qin Lang repeatedly asked her where she was staying, saying that he was also wandering around, and if the place was not far away, he could come to visit her. An Yi had no mood or energy to deal with this young man before and now.

Although people like Millie and Jiaxuan would occasionally ask about her schedule, work situation, etc. in the gossip group, An Yi only needed to make up a few words or simply say that she was busy, and everyone would leave her alone.

Qin Lang, however, knew all the distributors of Sun Technology very well, and was also very familiar with the important business that the company was running. Fortunately, the project that the boss used as an excuse for her to go on a business trip was from the headquarters and was real, otherwise he would have seen through the scam.

But it must be said that the little sun is very charming, and the seeds of friendship can bloom beautiful flowers wherever they are sown. There are actually several colleagues in this working group who have a close personal relationship with Qin Lang. Except for the confidential parts, other public project information and progress can not be hidden from him at all.

So within two days, Qin Lang found out that An Yi had not been on a business trip with the bidding team, nor had he returned to work. His An An had mysteriously disappeared...

Is there something going on? Out of caution, Qin Lang did not ask around. He chose to keep sending letters to An Yi, anxiously waiting for An Yi's long reply before continuing to ask.

After answering a few questions and finding that he couldn't get by, An Yi started to talk nonsense. He said that he was carrying out another confidential work and was working in a villa somewhere with a few people. Of course, he couldn't tell the specific situation, and asked him to keep it a secret and not tell anyone else.

She knew that Qin Lang was skeptical, and she didn't ask him about it because he trusted her and respected the privacy of others. Finally, Qin Lang's focus returned to her three meals a day and exercise, until the past two days.

An Yi frowned when she thought of this, not understanding where the mistake had gone. This made Qin Lang pay attention to where she was. What made An Yi particularly uneasy was that Qin Lang asked the boss if they were working on this confidential project together?

If the question was indirect, An Yi could pretend not to understand. But this child never liked to play that game, and always wanted to be straightforward.

"Well, I came back last weekend. Yes, I came back to continue working. When will it end? It should be soon. I don't know where the boss is. Amy is in charge of his schedule. Yes, I also hope to come back earlier. I am so tired every day now! Today is the same. I am going to rest. You should take care of yourself too. Good night."

After several text messages were exchanged, An Yi found a chance to say goodbye in a hurry, which was considered to have sent Qin Lang away today. I wonder if Qin Lang will be able to deal with him tomorrow. I looked at the time. Well, it was time to contact Youyou. It was a seamless connection.

After Ding Hong felt uneasy and confirmed with Butler Li again that An Yi was still in the bathroom, he finally saw An Yi coming back.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Ding Hong strode over, with a rare look of anxiety on his face.

An Yi looked bewildered: "It's nothing, I just made two calls." She looked at the time, more than 40 minutes, not very long, after all, she contacted three people. Of course, she would not say this.

"I'm glad you're okay. I was worried that you might be unwell." In fact, I was also worried that you might sneak away or call for help. Looking at An Yi's expression again, I realized that I was being too suspicious. It's normal for women to spend longer on the phone.

Ding Hong was disgusted with himself for becoming so suspicious and petty.

After returning to the screen, An Yi did not lie down, but sat there in a daze.

"It's time for supper, my name is..."

"Boss," An Yi made up his mind, "I want to go back to work in the company."

Silence, the whole room was silent. As if finally calming down, a deep voice came from the other side of the screen: "Are you going to regret it?"

"No, I..."

"No?!" The voice on the other end suddenly rose, and it was obvious that he had failed to control himself: "Then what kind of job are you in? You clearly want to escape!"

"I work for your company, the boss. If you really want to run away, can't I find another excuse? Think about what I said before you get angry!" An Yi also got angry.

Many times before, whenever she got anxious, this man would say: Think about it, think about what I said... as if he was stupid and misunderstood him. Now, she just said one sentence, but he got anxious too? He was even stupider!

What am I thinking about! Ding Hong was angry, looking at the screen, which was an eyesore, and he resisted the urge to kick it over. However, thinking about it, thinking about it, why does this sound familiar? However, this thought flashed through his mind, and the most urgent thing now was to find out what tricks this woman was trying to play!

"So, you want to work, what about us?"

An Yi rolled his eyes: "I don't work 24 hours a day. Besides, isn't it a bit too much for you to continue traveling around the world?"

"You mean you will come back after get off work." Ding Hong touched his chin thoughtfully.

"Yes! The eight-hour workday, plus the commuting time, is only over an hour. Even though we were stuck in the same building every day last week, the time we actually spent together was about the same."

"How can it be almost the same!" Ding Hong denied, and immediately made up his mind: "Okay, you can go to work, but our previous ban needs to be lifted."

"Ban?" An Yi didn't react.

"I can't be there during your time at Sun Tech. Cancel this, or... we'll think of another plan."

Ding Hong wanted to say "otherwise, no talk", but he stopped in time and changed his words to be more gentle. He is not her boss, everything should be discussed beforehand, remember this! Ding Hong said silently.

An Yi was struggling with the conditions proposed by his boss, and finally compromised: "Okay, cancel it."

They both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. It was so rare that they reached an agreement for the first time.

"The day after tomorrow. Both of us need another day to recuperate." This is the truth. Of course, Ding Hong also hopes to postpone it as much as possible.

An Yi had no objection. Even if the boss had directed and acted out the incident himself, he was indeed exhausted today. She was so frightened that her soul had not yet fully returned to its place, so she should just take some rest. She was not worried that the boss would change his mind. After all, the urgency of his return to regular work was dozens of times higher than hers, not to mention that he had canceled the treaty that she had high hopes for... Forget it, let's both take a step back.

An Yi finally realized later that the step she took back when she was already on the edge of the cliff would lead her directly into the deep sea.

Regardless, both of them were satisfied at the moment. After relaxing, An Yi still felt weak all over, so he just rolled around on the bed for a while.

"I have no appetite. I want to rest."

Ding Hong understood that he was still recovering, not to mention An Yi's little body. It seemed that he couldn't continue the topics he had reserved for today, but there was still tomorrow.

But he was the type who would not let questions go unanswered, so he hardened his heart and asked the last question of the day:

"After talking to your family, you offered to go to work. What was the reason?"

I knew he would ask. It would be unusual for the boss not to ask given his insight. After pretending to hesitate for a while, An Yi finally spoke out the answer he had prepared:

"Yes, they are very concerned about how I am eating and living, whether I am safe, and my work progress. My family members are more perfunctory, but I am most tired when my colleagues who I have a good relationship with ask me questions, for fear that I will make up something wrong and cause unnecessary trouble. Besides, I don't like lying, and I lie every day. It's too difficult."

An Yi sighed as he spoke, feeling more and more aggrieved: "Besides, many jobs are more efficient to do in the company. It's almost time to update the database, and I'm a little anxious."

"I considered your work in databases, and wanted to ship your computer from the company over here. But I didn't expect you to have to lie to cover up your lies. Because I have never had this kind of trouble before."

Yes, the boss's family has been in business for generations, her parents are busy people, and business trips are commonplace. In addition, the boss is a man... An Yi was about to express her understanding, but suddenly she felt so ridiculous. What if the boss empathized with her and anticipated her predicament? Would he pity her and give up the plan?

No, of course not. Those words are just to win my understanding and sympathy. This man is a real businessman who can do anything to achieve his goals. An Yi, wake up!

Ding Hong held his breath and waited for the reaction behind the screen, but unfortunately, all he got was the sound of An Yi getting up and leaving without saying a word.
