The cliché story of a domineering president and his secretary

An Yi covered his mouth to hold back a yawn, tears welling up in his eyes. He adjusted his state and walked into Sun Technology.

"Sister An An, eh? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Qin Shan carefully noticed that An Yi looked a little sleepy.

"Oh, I'm fine!" An Yi quickly cheered up. Although she worked on the watch until the early hours last night, she was actually in a good mood. One reason was that working overtime and staying up late was better than being sad and sleepless. Another reason was that today was the weekend! She could pick up Youyou from school by herself!

Thinking of this, An Yi blinked and thought about the afternoon vacation. He didn't know what procedures he needed to follow in this situation. So he asked Qin Shan for advice.

"Oh, I'll tell you how to apply in the system. After you submit it, just ask your boss for approval." Qin Shan brought An Yi to her workstation and taught him patiently.

"Yeah, I see! Thank you!"

"But... Sister An An, your boss asked you to work overtime last night? Until what time?"

"Oh, the East District form was made in a hurry and it took several hours." An Yi glossed over it vaguely, trying not to make it sound like he was accusing the boss.

Qin Shan understood. No wonder Sister An An looked so tired. She thought the boss was kind enough to let the employees take the bus, but it turned out that they had to pay for the fare. Oh!

An Yi saw that Qin Shan was feeling sorry for her and smiled knowingly: "Look, the boss gave me extra leave in the afternoon. How nice it is to spend the weekend here! I won't waste your time. I have to go back to work soon too!" After saying that, she waved and returned to her seat.

Qin Shan looked at An Yi's back and became more and more impressed and fond of Sister An An's character. She also felt more and more that Sister An An was the best choice for the position of general assistant.

Another busy morning passed.

Manager Lu and the East District Supervisor were surprised that the check had started in the morning, since the data was only sent out yesterday evening. They were all surprised when Yu Anyi had sorted out the forms after receiving the notice from the boss in the morning. After receiving the report forwarded by the boss and seeing the feedback email sent by Anyi to the boss at 3 am, the entire sales department was in an uproar again, and once again took this check more seriously.

Didn't they finish the show at almost 10 o'clock last night? Did the boss actually have people working overtime to check the results overnight? Oh my God! This news quickly spread to the top management of Ding Hong's companies, especially the sales department.

After the conference call, the East District report was checked. Ding Hong raised several requests and suggestions to Manager Lu for the next round of inspection. Manager Lu also quietly withdrew. When he left, he glanced at An Yi who was updating the latest verification results with a crackling sound, and shook his head and sighed that there are really no weak soldiers under a strong general!

At this moment, the president's office was quiet except for the sound of An Yi typing on the keyboard.

After dealing with a few urgent emails, Ding Hong calmly observed the busy woman opposite him. You couldn't tell at all that she had only slept for a few hours. Upon closer inspection, her eyes were a little dark and her face was slightly pale, but her focused attitude at work could easily make people overlook these.

Recalling that he was staring at his email inbox at home last night, he suddenly realized that he was actually waiting for An Yi's email. He didn't drink much at night, so why was his brain so slow? He knew that it would take several hours to sort out the data. So he got up and washed up in vain, not thinking about the strange behavior and confusion in his heart.

Yes, he knew clearly that the decision to let the woman work overtime was the right one, but he still felt reluctant. He was also worried that this order would make An Yi complain more and fear him as a boss.

Alas, I really asked for trouble. Ding Hong fell asleep with this bad mood.

The next morning, he got up and opened his email. Sure enough, he saw the report for the East District that An Yi had sent him. He immediately looked for the sending time: 3:35. He opened the report. The neat and rigorous style of the report was the same as usual, and even Ding Hong, who had obsessive-compulsive disorder, could not find fault with it. Turning off the computer, Ding Hong looked out the window at the sun that had risen high and was distracted for a moment. At this moment, Ding Hong, who was sitting at his desk, forced himself to regain his concentration and continue working.

"boss."

Ding Hong looked up and waited for An Yi to continue.

"The report for the East District has been reorganized and just sent to you. Please check." An Yi reported the situation in a formal manner, but her gentle tone sounded so comfortable. This also made Ding Hong sure that An Yi did not complain about working overtime last night.

"Yes." Ding Hong opened it and examined it carefully. It was correct. "Okay, send it to them."

"Okay." An Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, the second round of inventory liquidation was completed.

"You can get off work."

Huh? An Yi swallowed his surprise and looked up at his boss. Then he realized, "Boss, I applied for compensatory leave at 2pm." It's only 11pm now.

"Yeah." Ding Hong didn't care: "I saw your application and the new time of leaving has been annotated. You can leave now."

Did the sun rise from the west today?! An Yi was extremely happy! This way she could go to the supermarket to buy ingredients and make fried shrimp and cola chicken wings for her favorite dishes!

Seeing An Yi's eyes sparkling with excitement, Ding Hong's uneasy mood was relieved. He was very happy with his decision. It seemed that he really made this woman happy. So he let out a smile that he didn't even notice: "Let's go."

Although it was just two words and a faint smile, An Yi was stunned: It turns out that the boss can be so warm! She envied those who could be treated so gently by the boss. Of course, An Yi consciously excluded herself. This was just the boss's occasional kindness and grace, which was far from making her wishful thinking.

After expressing his sincere gratitude, An Yi walked out of the president's office with extremely brisk steps and began to pack his things.

"Hello, Xiao An!" A magnetic middle-aged baritone.

"Hello, Uncle Han!" An Yi was in a good mood, with smiles on his brows and mouth.

Han Jingtian was surprised to see An Yi so happy: "Is there anything happy?"

"Oh, I should control my expression." An Yi shrugged embarrassedly and whispered, "Because I can go home from get off work!" and winked playfully.

"Oh! That's very happy, haha!" The girl was amused: "Can you tell me why?"

"Well, because I worked overtime last night, my boss approved me to take a compensatory day off in the afternoon."

"Last night? I heard that you worked on the report very late, right?" The news of Mr. Ding's lightning-fast action spread like wildfire in the head office.

"Ah? Ah~~" An Yi was surprised and was about to ask Uncle Han how he knew that, but after a little thought he understood. It was the same technique of controlling subordinates as last time.

She is a very insightful girl. Han Jingtian continued: "You guys were at the party quite late, and I asked you to work overtime. Mr. Ding is really..."

"It's normal. It's okay! I used to work all night long. And my boss gave me half a day off. I'm very happy." An Yi suddenly realized that they had been chatting for quite some time, and apologized: "You have something to talk to the boss about. I guess I took up your time?"

Of course, this was half true and half false. I really didn't want to waste Uncle Han's time. Similarly, Uncle Han, please don't waste my time! What's more, An Yi had no intention of continuing to chat with this smiling tiger.

Uncle Han certainly understood An Yi's hypocrisy and nodded with a smile: "Then I'll go in, have a nice weekend!"

"Thank you, Uncle Han!" An Yi responded with a smile.

Uncle Han came to meet up with Ding Hong to inspect the company of a future cooperative client. Uncle Han only received the notice in the morning.

"It was so sudden to receive your call. I thought I would be free next week." Han Jingtian really didn't understand Mr. Xiao Ding's arrangement decision today.

They had a simple lunch at a restaurant near the company and Uncle Han drove to the client's company.

"Well, I received another invitation from Mr. Li yesterday, and decided to go there as soon as possible." Ding Hong continued to work on his notebook in the back seat.

"Uncle Han, why are you driving yourself again?"

"I like driving, haha. I used to drive for Mr. Ding a lot."

Ding Hong shook his head. Uncle Han was really energetic.

Han Jingtian glanced at Ding Hong in the rearview mirror and said nonchalantly, "This inventory check has shaken several companies. Your move is brilliant! Especially since the news has spread everywhere this morning."

"Yeah. Just to scare them. I won't touch them in the next six months, but when I have time, hmm..."

Before Mr. Ding finished speaking, Uncle Han naturally understood what he meant. He felt that a good father will have a good son, and that both he and Mr. Ding were ruthless.

"This An Yi is really doing well, and she can keep up with your pace. It's rare to see her smiling so happily during this half-day holiday."

Ding Hong caught a glimpse of the conversation between Uncle Han and An Yi in the morning, and saw An Yi's high spirits. Thinking of this, he pursed his lips slightly.

Uncle Han was used to Xiao Ding's silence, so after a moment's deliberation, he asked, "I feel like you recognize her work ability and character. Do you want to promote her to be the general assistant?"

"Well, I have this idea through recent observations. What is your opinion?" Ding Hong did not hide it. On the contrary, this kind of special position appointment needs to be informed to Uncle Han in advance.

Uncle Han had an expression that said, "As expected." "I've read her resume carefully. There's no problem with this girl's work ability and qualifications. She's more stable and cautious than the other general assistants. Of course, that's also because of her age." After saying that, he observed Ding Hong's expression through the rearview mirror and found nothing.

I always feel that the boss treats An Yi a little differently. Is it because he feels sorry for her? Or is it because of some other emotion? But her personal situation is really not satisfactory. I hope I am just overthinking it.

"Let's leave it at that. I'll find a time to notify her next week." He still didn't stop working. He could have done it steadily in the office, but now he had to race against time in the car. It was all because of his impulsiveness... Of course, it was necessary to go to this client, but as Uncle Han said, the original plan was next week, but in order to find a reason for himself to let the woman take a vacation, he actually sent himself out. Really...

He heard Uncle Han's evaluation, which was very objective. Many of An Yi's advantages did come from her more mature age. His previous assistants were all modern young women, so he was more cautious in this appointment.

But he also knew that his decision was more based on his trust in An Yi's nature. If eyes never lie, then An Yi's clear eyes always made him feel at ease. Another point was that their auras matched well.

They had many opportunities to be alone this week, whether it was when they were each busy with work, the tacit understanding when checking data, or the quietness during lunch, all of which made Ding Hong feel a rare inner peace and contentment.

Of course, this was just his feeling. He knew An Yi's awkwardness and deliberate silence, but he was not angry. He even looked at it with amusement. He was unwilling to admit that he was teasing her, but the woman's discomfort made him inexplicably happy. Although it was inappropriate, he really enjoyed this feeling and didn't want to let it go.

Well, let him be willful for a while. He was tolerant of the woman's various erratic behaviors, which was also a kind of compensation. And the promotion opportunity he gave her later was the first time in history that a female employee over 30 years old was hired for this position.

"Boss Ding, we'll be there soon."

"Okay." Ding Hong put away his laptop, put away his scattered thoughts, straightened his clothes and prepared to get off the car.
