The cliché story of a domineering president and his secretary

An Yi, who was quickly turning on his computer upstairs, didn't notice the faint sound of a car coming from downstairs at all.

Just now she lay down on the sofa, allowing herself to be swallowed by the darkness, crying without any thought or resistance.

The busyness and unexpected events of the night helped her escape briefly, but how could the sadness of being separated from her daughter for such a long time for the first time be truly diverted and forgotten?

If it weren't for the sudden phone call, she would have fallen into the abyss from which she could not extricate herself, and would have been tortured by pain all night long.

Between wakefulness and unconsciousness, the phone rang. She was worried that it was an urgent call from her family, so she quickly wiped her tears and stood up to check.

Boss?! Is there something wrong with the document? The professionalism she had developed from working under high pressure many years ago had penetrated deep into her bones, allowing her to quickly switch to work mode. While adjusting her state, she cleaned her face with a tissue, cleared her throat, and tried her best to answer the phone calmly. The heavy nasal sound and slightly hoarse voice after crying still remained a little even if she tried to hide it. Fortunately, the boss regarded it as the state of just waking up, which made An Yi feel a little relieved.

Although it was just a job of sending an email and could be done in a few minutes, it was like a lifesaver for An Yi. She was grateful to her aloof boss for once again unintentionally saving her.

The email was successfully sent, and An Yi quickly sent a text message to her boss to report. After waiting for a while without a reply, she turned on all the lights in the rooms, the TV and tablet one by one, adjusted the program and volume, looked around to show her satisfaction, took a bath towel and went to the bathroom.

the next day.

"Good morning, Sister An An! Wow! You have dark circles under your eyes. Did you stay up late at the celebration party last night?" Zhou Ya exclaimed.

An Yi smiled awkwardly: "It's quite late, I left early."

"How can they have the energy to work today?"

"The boss asked everyone to arrive at noon."

"Oh my god, they are so happy! But, Sister An An, why didn't you get more sleep?"

"I want to, too, but there are forms that need to be sent out urgently."

"You are so dedicated!" Millie came over with a cup of water. "I was wondering why the sales department was so quiet. But I just saw Manager Lu coming, and he looked very energetic!"

"Yes, age really doesn't spare anyone. The spirit of the bosses is indeed unmatched by ordinary people." An Yi and the others sighed a few more times and then went back to the battlefield.

An Yi sat back at his workstation, turned around and glanced at the president's office behind him. Thinking that the boss said he would not show up today, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and let himself lean back in his seat. Anyway, his position was private to the boss, but not to others.

Slowly opening the email, quietly watching the system refresh the data, thinking about how to call her parents to tell them that Youyou will not be home this weekend. Her parents' feelings for Youyou are just as strong as mine. No matter how much they understand and support Youyou's activities, they can't help but feel reluctant to let her go, just like me.

Glancing at the mailbox, An Yi noticed a red-marked email. He quickly sat up straight, got ready, and opened the email from his boss. After a closer look, he was quite surprised.

This email is to inform all the president assistants directly under him in the head office and several branches that business and company product knowledge training will be held on Saturday and Sunday. Overtime work on these two days will be compensated by triple salary or double compensatory leave.

How come she didn't hear anything about it before? The boss didn't mention it last night. Was the email just sent? Was it a temporary decision? Perhaps she was too low-ranking and powerless to deserve the boss to mention it to her.

Shrugging, after so many years in the society, the edges and corners have been polished away, and there is not much noble self-esteem. For things decided by the superiors, just consider how to complete them and the pros and cons to yourself.

Although this training caught her off guard, it was actually good news.

First, it filled her empty time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow;

Second, you can choose to take a leave of absence. After Youyou returns home, you can have more time to accompany your daughter, or even arrange a short trip for the whole family.

Should we go to the grassland or the beach? An Yi has begun to daydream, and the more she thinks about it, the more excited she becomes, which alleviates a lot of homesickness. When she calls her parents later, it can be regarded as one bad news and one good news, which can comfort them a little.

Thinking of this, she organized her logic and language, calmed her mind, and called home.

The call was answered by her mother. She listened to An Yi's excitement and joy when she talked about Youyou being selected to participate in the performance. She also pretended to understand and support An Yi when she said that Youyou could not go home on the weekend and would go directly to a summer camp abroad. All of these made An Yi feel heartbroken.

Moreover, her mother did not forget to comfort her, telling her to go home to spend the weekends, and not to always stay in her own little nest and make do with meals. An Yi took the opportunity to talk about the company's training and vacation adjustment, and imagined where she would take her parents and Youyou to travel in the future, which made her mother on the other end of the phone happy.

Considering that it was working hours, the two of them hung up the phone reluctantly.

An Yi sighed, finally solving a problem. Her parents must be disappointed and reluctant, and the degree may even be stronger than her. Their retirement life is already lonely, and what they look forward to most is family reunion. Fortunately, there is an easter egg at the end, and she cunningly asked her mother to ask her middle-aged and elderly friends for suitable places and itineraries for short-term travel, which can be regarded as finding something for the two elders to keep busy.

I turned back and read the email again carefully, and looked at each person who was copied. I had always heard of Amy from the head office, and the others should be assistants to the presidents of the various branches. I can find out more about the news and relationships with the gossip group during lunch. As for the training location, it is in the conference room of the company headquarters. At the end, they said that there will be a specific training schedule and plan later. Well, I will wait for the follow-up notice.

After closing the email that came out of nowhere, An Yi began to carry out his daily work for the day step by step.

"Amy? She is a person with a story." He Jiaxuan stopped using her chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised pork ribs, and couldn't wait to introduce her to An Yi.

Zhou Ya next to her squeezed her and said unconvincedly, "Do you know more about this than a senior employee like me?"

Jiaxuan quickly picked up the fallen ribs and put them into her own bowl, saying with a smile, "The channels are different! You go first, can't I have more?"

Zhou Ya finally expressed her satisfaction. She first glanced around and found that there were no other colleagues in the company, but she still cautiously lowered her voice and gossiped: "Amy, she is highly educated, beautiful, and has high emotional intelligence. She has been the president's secretary for more than two years, and her position is quite stable."

"That cold beauty? I don't think anyone would care about her. How come I can't see that she has high emotional intelligence?" Millie muttered softly.

"You also said that they are 'mortals' and ignore them, but they care about 'extraordinary' people!" Zhou Ya raised her eyebrows.

Jiaxuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, when I went to the headquarters to deliver an urgent contract, I saw Amy receiving important customers. She was so cheerful and elegant. And one of them was a foreign customer. I listened carefully and found that Amy could switch between Chinese, French and English at will without any problem!"

"Ah? You know French?"

"Hehe, it sounds a bit like English to me, but it's not English at all!"

The little sisters smiled.

"Such a person with three highs has actually been working steadily in the position of general assistant without any promotion?" An Yi asked curiously.

"That's why she has a story!" Zhou Ya smiled slyly.

"Don't be too exaggerated. Try to be true to the facts. It's not good to mislead Sister An An." Qin Shan reminded worriedly: "After all, we will be with Amy for two days. If Sister An An's eyes reveal something, she is a real shrewd person. She will be interested if she sees the slightest clue. It would be bad to trip up Sister An An."

Jiaxuan also agreed, "Yes, yes, the headquarters is their home ground."

"Tsk! That's why you say she's guilty!" Zhou Ya rolled her eyes in disdain. "Okay, I'll just tell you the story in a straightforward manner without any personal opinions or exaggerations. Sister An An has her own judgment: Actually, Amy has just been the general assistant for a year. Because of her excellent foreign language and public relations skills, the head of the overseas development department came to the boss. The boss agreed at the time. He has always been good at using people and encouraging capable employees to move to more suitable positions."

"Yes, that's why the boss chose Sister An An to be our company's general assistant!" Millie interjected. An Yi didn't expect that there would be a flattery here, and she smiled shyly and shook her head.

Zhou Ya nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is one of our boss's strengths, so the employees feel that there is a future in the company. Oh! You've taken me off topic! I continued, but unexpectedly Amy declined politely, saying that she had little experience, didn't understand the company's business very well, and didn't want to go abroad on business trips often. Everyone thought about it and it made sense, so they gave up."

While Zhou Ya was drinking water and eating vegetables, Millie continued, "Because Amy's work ability and dedication in the past two years are obvious to all, they are excellent. Not to mention other departments in the company, even headhunting companies have come to poach her. The boss was probably afraid that such an excellent talent would be poached, so at the end-of-year employee performance review, the boss took the initiative to offer Amy a promotion opportunity and gave her the privilege of freely choosing a department. But Amy refused again, and the reason for the refusal was not convincing. She still emphasized that she was not proficient in the business, should continue to accumulate experience, and was satisfied with her current work status, etc."

At this moment, An Yi suddenly felt that these reasons sounded very familiar to her. She seemed to have used these reasons to reject the boss, but Amy refused not to be the general assistant, while she refused to be the general assistant. She couldn't help but chuckle and secretly admired that there were people who were so determined to like being so close to this tyrant.

Huh? Something is wrong. He is so talented but he is willing to be an assistant and refuse a promotion? An Yi looked up at Millie with doubt in his eyes.

"Look! Sister An An has already heard the problem! We are not leading the rhythm or exaggerating at all, are we?" Zhou Ya pointed at An Yi and turned to the others with a proud smile.
