The cliché story of a domineering president and his secretary

Phew! I’m finally home!

An Yi collapsed on the sofa, looking at the wall clock, a pink clock with a My Little Pony pattern, which was chosen by You You herself.

8:45, it was almost time for her scheduled phone call with Youyou. An Yi stood up hastily and walked towards the bathroom.

After a while, An Yi sat back on the sofa in her comfortable pajamas and slippers. She had washed her face, and although she had only simply applied a handful of water, she felt much better.

Every time she and Youyou talk, she uses audio calls, hoping that she can be in the best condition and give her daughter positive energy as much as possible. This is also the reason why An Yi does not choose video calls. She knows that she cannot control her emotions well, and it is inevitable that she will show a worried look or pretend to be relaxed. She is worried that the careful Youyou will find out and affect her mood.

Ding-ling-ling! An Yi quickly answered the phone that she had been holding tightly.

"Mom~Mom~!" A beautiful child's voice with a long drawl.

"Wow! It's my lovely Youyou! Are you having a good time today?"

The opening remarks are almost the same every day.

"Mom, I've already ordered food from grandpa! I want to eat noodles with soybean paste tomorrow. Grandpa said I'm the best at ordering him around, hahaha!"

The relaxed mood was also lifted by the leisurely laughter.

Every Thursday night, Youyou would call her grandparents to order Friday's dinner, and sometimes she would even tell them what she wanted to eat for the next two days. So Friday became a happy shopping day for the two old people.

"Mom, was your work hard today? Was there anything interesting?" Youyou was very proud of An Yi's new job, and felt that her mother was really capable. Because she occasionally heard her grandmother sigh, she understood how difficult and lucky it was. And her mother's company sells robots, which was fun just thinking about it!

Anyi naturally understood what Youyou’s little head was fantasizing about. Children are the most innocent and imaginative.

I remember when I first talked to my daughter about the company, Youyou cheered loudly with joy! It turned out that she thought her mother would work with many robots in the future, which made An Yi laugh and cry.

We said goodbye reluctantly, so as not to disturb our baby daughter's sleep time. And we will meet again tomorrow!

Thinking of this, An Yi began to think about how to ask his boss to leave work on time tomorrow...

The next morning, there was a new person in the president's office. This person was Han Jingtian. Some matters needed to be resolved today, so he appeared in Ding Hong's office in the morning.

Also sitting in the president's office were Manager Lu, Manager Yu, and An Yi. Han Jingtian had observed this strange female employee last night because her seat was too big to ignore.

An Yi was also observing silently. The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa next to him was thin and always smiling. The deep lines on his forehead and eyes revealed the hardships he had experienced and his deep thoughts. Hearing Ding Hong call him Uncle Han, An Yi thought about the possibility that the two were related by blood.

Of course, there is only enough time for An Yi to imagine this much, as the liquidation and verification of the last region has officially begun.

She didn't know whether the financial statements in the southwest region were relatively good, or whether she had become somewhat accustomed to the violent storm, but she actually felt that her boss was holding back on his anger today.

Because today is Friday! I have been in a good mood since morning, indulging my innocence.

The other people didn't think that this had anything to do with the weekend, although they were also wondering why the boss's anger level had decreased. Obviously, the report of this area was not good either. They could only be thankful for the good luck of the Southwest District Manager, and of course, be thankful for themselves as well.

The one who felt the most strange was Han Jingtian. Based on his understanding of Ding Hong's personality and what he had been told about the investigation, he predicted that today would be a disaster movie. However, the blood pressure medication was ready, and they only showed him this? Although he lowered his head to deal with the matters at hand, it did not affect his attention to the meeting of Ding Hong and others.

The meeting was adjourned. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As of today, all regions across the country have completed the first wave of inventory checks. Although there are many problems, this is a crucial step.

An Yi returned to her workstation and quickly got busy. Only after completing the task would she be qualified to make her request to the boss. Ding Hong was already working non-stop to solve the problems brought by Uncle Han.

Send! He tapped the confirmation button happily. Seeing the email was successfully sent, An Yi felt relieved and subconsciously glanced towards the president's office.

I wonder if the boss is busy now? Has he finished talking to Uncle Han?

You seemed to be in a good mood before, so you should have struck while the iron was hot, right?

It is normal for employees to leave work on time. I am really considering the company! I have been working so hard recently and often have to work overtime. If you refuse me, it would be too much of an exploitation of employees!

Will he be away from the company this afternoon? That would be terrible! Should I go in now?

An Yi's mind was in a mess and he wanted to get up for a while, but he glanced at the tightly closed door with his peripheral vision and had to continue fiddling with the computer.

Ding Hong, who had just finished talking with Uncle Han, frowned as he looked at the restless woman. Seeing that she was still stealing glances at him from time to time, he wondered what had happened to make her behave so out of character.

Uncle Han sorted out the documents and looked up to say something, but he saw Ding Hong staring ahead. He turned his head curiously and said, "Hmm? Is that the female employee named An Yi? There seems to be nothing else to see except her."

"Uncle Han."

"Hey?" Uncle Han heard his name being called and immediately turned around to wait for instructions. Although he was second only to Mr. Ding and was an old subordinate of Mr. Ding, he knew his position clearly, otherwise he would not have been so trusted by both Mr. Ding and Mr. Ding.

Ding Hong said apologetically, "Thank you for the trouble. I will be here more recently. If you need anything, please don't come in person. Just send someone else to deliver it."

"How can it be hard? It's my duty." He actually noticed that Xiao Ding quickly concealed his discomfort, and it seemed that he had to care about An Yi. Han Jingtian smiled and said, "I still have to see Manager Yu, so I'll leave first."

"Okay, let's have lunch together." The tone was serious and sounded like an order, but Han Jingtian knew in his heart that this boy cared about him.

The door of the president's office opened, and An Yi, who had been paying close attention, looked over and saw Uncle Han coming out. Their eyes met. An Yi stood up and took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, President Han!" Han Jingtian was the vice president of the head office, and she was not qualified to call him Uncle Han.

Uncle Han came over with interest and replied with a smile: "Hello, Miss An Yi, right?"

How could An Yi dare to accept such a respectful title? She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "You can just call me An Yi or Xiao An."

She is a dignified and polite girl. Although her exact age is unknown, considering Han Jingtian's age and qualifications, these employees are all children of the younger generation.

Han Jingtian was a little puzzled: This girl is good, but~I don't see anything special about her. During the morning meeting, she was doing data statistics conscientiously, and she cooperated well with Xiao Ding, and it was obvious that her work ability had won the recognition of the participants.

"Okay, Xiao An, you go ahead and get busy." Since I can't figure it out, let's talk about it later. I still have work to do. Han Jingtian smiled and waved goodbye.

Ding Hong, who was sitting in the president's office, had a rare flushed face.

Although Uncle Han is approachable, he will not chat with strangers for no reason. Then he... Ding Hong was a little annoyed by his absent-mindedness just now. Thinking of Uncle Han's inquiring eyes, he didn't want this elder to make unrealistic guesses. After understanding the specific situation of the woman, there will be no misunderstanding. Ding Hong pursed his lips slightly. After all, they... are very different.

Knock, knock. There was a knock on the door.

Ding Hong was not surprised to see An Yi push the door open.

"Boss Ding." An Yi greeted respectfully, secretly observing his expression. Alas, Ice Face never had any expression, except when he was angry. An Yi had no choice but to give up on things beyond his ability, feeling a little frustrated.

"Well, is there something wrong?" I was curious about what earth-shattering thing she would say. Otherwise, would it be worth her being so hesitant?

An Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Ding, can I get off work on time today?"

Just for this? Is that all? Ding Hong suspected that An Yi had another trick up his sleeve.

Noticing the boss's unfriendly look, An Yi misunderstood that Ding Hong disagreed: "Boss, the report for the Southwest region has been sent out. I believe they won't be returned so quickly. The same is true for the other regions. If there are reports returned this afternoon, I can copy the data home and send it to you tomorrow morning at the latest, can I?"

You sound so sincere. You'd rather stay up all night to finish the watch than leave work on time, right?

Thinking of An Yi's eagerness to get off work last Friday and the conversation between Zhou Ya and the others, Ding Hong suddenly felt unhappy and his voice became even lower: "Do you have an important date?"

Huh?! An Yi was speechless. The boss actually cared about the reason? But he still replied: "No, it's at home, a party at home."

Home? What could force this cowardly woman to ask him for help? Just family gatherings? Every week?

An Yi was getting anxious. No matter whether Ding Hong agreed or not, she had to leave work on time. But An Yi wanted to avoid the various possibilities that would arise from doing so. Although she had been working very hard recently, she had also regained the long-lost sense of accomplishment brought by her work and did not want to lose her job so soon.

"Boss, if there is really too much work, I can come to the company to work overtime on Sunday afternoon. I hope you can agree to my request." He made another effort, and was also prepared to give up helplessly after being rejected. Of course, he didn't take it easy, but he wanted to give up this job.

Ding Hong was a little angry at this time. Was this job so unimportant in her eyes? She just wanted to get off work on time, but she had to show such a look of detachment? You worked overtime voluntarily a few days ago. Did I force you? Am I the evil Zhou Paopi or Huang Shiren? Ding Hong was really angry about An Yi's unwarranted accusation against him!

In fact, An Yi hides her emotions very well. She is not the kind of person who shows her emotions without knowing it.

It must be because his ability to see through people's minds is too strong. Ding Hong could clearly see what An Yi was thinking just now from her eyes.

As he still hadn't received a reply from his boss, An Yi looked up in confusion and anxiety.

"Can I only work overtime on Sunday afternoon?" Seeing the look in the woman's eyes, he wanted to make things difficult for her on purpose to avenge himself.

"Yes."

"Saturday isn't possible?"

"Um, sorry, no."

"What about Sunday morning?"

"I'm so sorry, but I can't do that."

Although An Yi didn't understand what urgent work required her to work overtime on the weekend, she didn't think Ding Hong was picking on her. Even though the man in front of her had various problems, it was undeniable that he was a boss who was extremely capable and responsible at work.

It seems that Anyi's ability to judge people needs to be improved!

Seeing the woman's increasingly timid expression but increasingly bold responses, Ding Hong began to think seriously:

Overtime is available from Monday to Thursday;

Rushing to get off work on Friday;

You can also work late on Sunday afternoons;

And the time between the rest days cannot be disturbed... Could it be like this? He seemed to have an answer, but he didn't have the heart to confirm it.

If it is true, it is really too cruel for this woman who always has a gentle smile and a weak body.

I hope my guess is wrong.

Ding Hong thought about this and said, "You should get off work on time and you don't have to work overtime." After saying that, he regretted that he seemed to have too much sympathy and let go of the small punishment for her words and deeds so quickly.

But An Yi was panicked! Is this - is the boss angry? And is he really angry? !

Ding Hong understood the stark contrast between his previous reply and the difficult questions he had asked, so he could only add a few more words: "This wave of investigations has dealt a heavy blow to the various supervisors. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish, so let them have a weekend to buffer, and don't push them too hard."

An Yi finally believed that her boss was not angry at what he said just now. At the same time, An Xin was also surprised to find that her boss was actually explaining something to her!

Anyway, the goal was achieved. An Yi nodded quickly to show that he understood. He thanked him again and left.

Behind him, there was a pair of inquiring eyes.
