The cliché story of a domineering president and his secretary

"Boss?" An Yi instinctively felt that there was someone nearby. He looked up and found that it was the president himself.

"Well, go ahead." Ding Hong, who had long since returned to his usual indifferent expression, just nodded slightly and strode into the office.

An Yi nodded hastily, not even having time to retract his surprised expression. He thought to himself: I was right, the boss is really a busy man, he actually came back to work so late! It seems that I was right not to contact him.

After thinking about it, he turned around and sat down to concentrate more on his work.

Ding Hong looked at the beautiful figure sitting outside the glass wall and felt complicated and indescribable emotions.

He still came, and came with great effort. Knowing that it is impossible to do something but still doing it, that's all, right? Whether this move is foolish or brave, praise or criticism, perhaps we can only judge it based on the result.

An Yi, maybe I have changed my mind before you noticed my unusual behavior; maybe when you have the same feeling towards me, I have become bored with you; maybe when you have a deep and heavy attachment to me, I am still determined to leave.

I don't know what I will bring to you, whether it is joy or sorrow, love or hate. I really tried my best but still couldn't get an answer. I dare not even think about promising you forever, I have never experienced or understood how far forever is.

But I still decided to take action, to put into action the feelings I had for you that I was not even sure of. Even though I knew it was unfair and unsafe for you, I still selfishly decided to let myself act on my own will in my relationship again.

Because just an hour ago, I found a reason for myself, a reason that could effectively block out Xiao Yang's words: I want to save you from the water and fire, I want to help you heal your wounds and detoxify, I am confident that I am the person who understands your true situation best and can pull you out of the quagmire.

God knows and I know that if your insomnia is not improved and resolved as soon as possible, and you continue to squander like this and ignore your body and mind, you won’t be able to hold on for much longer!

The best outcome of forcing you to start another relationship is self-evident. The worst outcome may just be a temporary solution. But is it really worse than your foolish behavior of numbing yourself and covering up the pain?

I, Ding Hong, have never made any promise to anyone in terms of love. But I want to make you a promise:

I promise that I will think more carefully than ever before and reconsider my feelings for you. If I choose to continue or eventually withdraw, I will be more careful to protect your heart and do everything I can to avoid you from being hurt again. No matter what the future holds, I will be responsible for your body and your spiritual world to ensure your safety and a comfortable life as your name wishes.

I may never let you know these words in your entire life, but in fact, this is what I ask of myself.

Anyi, I will never let you be worse than you are now. I want you to believe me.

When An Yi knocked on the door and was allowed to enter the president's office, the boss was working at his desk, probably without a break from the beginning until now. She sighed in her heart, and her view that the second generation of rich people were equal to dandy boys had quietly changed because of Ding Hong.

"Boss, the file has just been sent to you. Do you have any other tasks?"

Ding Hong didn't look up, nor did he stop working, but his voice was slightly softer than usual: "Okay, wait for me. You sit down first."

An Yi sat down quietly. She had already known the boss's overbearing temper. If he told you to sit down, it would be wrong for you to stand respectfully.

Soon Ding Hong began to review An Yi's document and found two problems. They had nothing to do with An Yi, but the data submitted by the submitter was wrong. Of course, if An Yi was as proficient in the company's business as Amy, she would be able to find it. But to be fair, he would never ask An Yi, who had been employed for more than two months, to be compared with Amy, who had been employed for two years.

The document has been returned to the original reporter, and this work has come to an end today.

It was only at this moment that Ding Hong looked at the quiet woman opposite him who had captured his infinite attention. He hid the surging emotions in his eyes and said in a calm voice, "I'm sorry. I asked you to work overtime today, but I just came now. And I left you to work so late."

An Yi blinked, surprised that the boss was so polite. Maybe he really felt guilty. She felt embarrassed instead: "Don't say that, it's okay."

"I didn't forget to ask you to work overtime, but something delayed me."

"I guessed it. The boss has an amazing memory. He must have other more important things to do and can't spare the time." An Yi smiled sincerely.

Although he was sure that this woman really understood him and was not being hypocritical, he still asked in confusion: "Aren't you worried that I would forget? Why didn't you send me a letter to confirm or remind me?"

"I was worried and wanted to send you a letter. But I felt that you would not forget it and that there must be something more urgent. I did not waste time and tried to complete other tasks in advance so that I can devote all my energy to doing what you asked me to do tomorrow."

Ding Hong didn't ask any more questions. He looked at her for a moment and said, "Very good. You are really competent."

Is such a stable working mood and state due to An Yi's own personality? It feels more like the result of her previous boss's training. If this is true, even he has to admire that workaholic who is no less than himself.

After a light cough, it's time to get down to business. Ding Hong, who also knows a lot about An Yi, is ready for a battle of wits and courage.

"Let's stop here for today's work. As an apology," Ding Hong paused subconsciously, and finally took the first step: "I'll treat you to dinner."

An Yi raised her eyebrows. Min felt that her boss was acting strange today, but she still believed the reason of apology because she couldn't think of any other reason. However, she never ate dinner. If she added the word "boss" before dinner, she would have no reason to agree, unless she was crazy!

She refused without even thinking: "No, boss. Don't mind it. I'll be off work first." As if she didn't want to give her boss time to react, she turned around and was about to run away.

"Stop!" Although Ding Hong knew clearly that the result would be like this, he was still very unhappy: "I mind it very much. I have already reserved a seat on the way here. Let's go." After saying that, he began to organize the things at hand.

"I am very satisfied with the fact that I have been given a day off. You know I usually don't eat dinner."

Ding Hong said with disdain: "That's why you were hospitalized!" Are you implying that I shouldn't forget to take a day off? That's all you want! In that case, I'll give you a tough move: "Does accepting your apology mean that you worked overtime today according to my order, or that you worked overtime on your own initiative today?"

An Yi's face had turned red with anger at his boss's twisted logic, and he argued, "I, I mean I accept the apology, but you don't have to treat me to a meal just to apologize."

Trouble? You are the one who finds it troublesome. "This dinner is an apology and a token of my gratitude for your overtime work. Of course, I will not stop you from devoting yourself to the company."

"Boss..." An Yi wanted to say, "Are you kidding me?" This is too frivolous! I really want to say forget it, I don't want any leave! But when I think of Youyou, I really can't bear to let her go. So the words came to my lips but I couldn't say them. I was forced to hold them back on the spot, and my eyes were a little red.

"I don't understand why you reject something that others would gladly accept or even desire. Do I really scare you so much?" Ding Hong slowed down his tone, worried that this little woman would be so angry that she would burst into tears, which would be terrible.

"No way." An Yi immediately realized that the boss already knew what she had said to Xiao Yang. As she expected, the spy! Maybe this is a good time to express her feelings again: "I know that opportunities are rare, but I don't ask for much and lack ambition. Going back to rest early is what I need most."

Ding Hong shook his head and didn't respond to her words. Instead, he said earnestly, "I just sincerely want to invite you to dinner. I hope you will honor me."

I found that although the boss was still as domineering as usual, he had lowered his posture. He was so sincere that An Yi really couldn't insist on it. He was slightly stunned and could only nod in agreement.

Ding Hong was satisfied, and he gradually began to master the way to get along with her.

An Yi has the most polarized personality among the women he knows. This is not reflected in her bad temper and emotionality, such as Song Lingfei. On the contrary, An Yi's personality is gentle, stable, easy-going and amiable. This is when you don't touch her bottom line. If you do, the other side of her personality will be fully revealed: she is eager to speak and argue, disregarding the kindness of others, and stubborn; and she is too firm in her principles, so she will not be persuaded by soft or hard words. It is really a headache!

And the bottom line that cannot be crossed is naturally her precious daughter. As long as she is affected or disturbed, even if there is only a possibility, she will immediately pounce on any tiny danger and tear it into pieces and eliminate it invisibly.

But even the hardest stone has cracks, and can be penetrated by weak water. He used both hard and soft tactics, and used both real and fake tactics to bypass her bottom line and take advantage of her unpreparedness to achieve his goal. However, this trick would only work once and then it would be ineffective.

An Yi will mostly consider the good side of things when meeting people, but her keen vigilance enables her to quickly distinguish between good and evil. If she finds out that she has been fooled, the person will basically be doomed from then on. So she must act cautiously to deal with it.

In the car, Ding Hong was unconsciously distracted while waiting for the red light. Out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the little fox beside him that he had successfully abducted. The sense of accomplishment made him feel very satisfied.

An Yi looked out the window boredly, thinking back to everything that had just happened, and always felt that something was wrong, as if he had been set up. Invite her to dinner? Is it necessary? As the person in charge of the company, just a few words of apology would have flattered the little employee. Was this meal a Hongmen Banquet? He had neither unique skills nor peerless beauty, so what was he trying to do?

If she had simply attributed it to sympathy, recent events had made An Yi confused and uneasy, and she could only raise her vigilance level again.

Two people, each with their own thoughts, quietly stay in the same room. Although they don't say a word, they are not lonely.
