The cliché story of a domineering president and his secretary

On Monday morning, Ding Hong came to Sun Technology to handle affairs, listen to the work reports of managers from various departments, and assign several tasks to An Yi. He left in a hurry before noon.

On Tuesday morning, Ding Hong did not show up. He only emailed An Yi to inform her that he planned to organize a monthly company event for all Sun Technology employees this weekend. He also briefly sent her the time and place to confirm with various departments. The email also included a hotel contact number. Finally, he told An Yi to wait for him to come in the afternoon to report the situation.

Yunqing Mountain, An Yi was unfamiliar with this place, and immediately searched for information on the Internet. Oh, it turned out to be a natural scenic spot more than 100 kilometers away from the city. It was not very famous, but it was selected as one of the top ten in a ranking list of suburban summer resorts.

As for the time, leaving on Friday afternoon? Isn't it a half-day holiday benefit for employees? Everyone must be very happy that the boss is so kind. Time is tight, An Yi doesn't think about it anymore, and quickly writes an email to managers and assistants of various departments to confirm whether they can attend and the number of participants, and copies the boss.

While waiting for everyone's reply, I found out that the hotel designated by the boss was located in a small town not far from the foot of Yunqing Mountain, with good hardware and software conditions. The call was from the hotel sales manager. When he heard that I was Ding Hong's assistant, he immediately said that someone had discussed the matter with him, and the time and basic requirements of the event were known. He also knew the approximate number of people in the company and had reserved enough rooms. He just needed An Yi to make the final decision.

After asking who was in contact with the manager, she found out that it was the driver Xiao Yang. It seems that Xiao Yang is also a multifunctional employee. Thinking leisurely, she watched the managers replying to the emails one after another and responding to the boss's call. She thought that it was a very troublesome and tedious task, but she completed most of the preliminary content easily. Should she be happy? Happy? Still happy!

Manager Lu and his team had heard the boss mention this yesterday. They were surprised that this person who rarely attended company gatherings before suddenly became interested in organizing an event! It seems that the boss is very satisfied with the hard work of the brothers recently. They naturally have to arrange the work at hand and order the department staff not to miss this collective activity.

"Hello, boss." An Yi followed closely behind the boss who had just entered the office, but stopped at the door, waiting quietly and respectfully.

Ding Hong had put down his briefcase, taken out his computer, and looked up at An Yi, who understood and walked in to start reporting.

"Boss, regarding the weekend's event: managers of all departments of the company have replied to confirm that they can participate. Only the customer service department has not yet submitted the specific number of people. However, they have promised me to report it in half an hour." Seeing that the boss was just listening and had no opinion, he continued, "I have contacted Manager Peng of the hotel. He said that the rooms and restaurants have been reserved and we are just waiting for the final list. Don't worry. This is the room type, room rate and catering standards. Please have a look." He handed an A4 paper to the boss's desk, picked up another paper and began to report, "Although the final number of people in the customer service department is still being confirmed, it will not differ from the estimated number of people by more than 2 people, so I have made a budget for the cost of this event: from Friday night to Sunday afternoon, the costs involved include accommodation, food and beverage, bus fares, tickets, and the cost of organizing a real-life CS near the scenic spot on Sunday as you mentioned. I have included them all for your review. This is just the initial quotation. Regarding the room rate, I will try to apply for a better discount from the hotel." After handing it over again, he silently waited for the boss's reply.

Ding Hong only glanced at it and stopped looking. He reported a number and said, "This is the budget for this event. The brothers have been working very hard recently and are about to enter the next stage of the sprint, so we should give them a boost. Stick to the budget and try to make it more comfortable and rich. I think this amount of money is enough, right?"

"Yes, it is definitely enough." An Yi replied with a smile: "Everyone must be very happy, and thank you very much for your consideration."

Ding Hong nodded. He could tolerate such evaluation. He was a boss who was clear about rewards and punishments and never treated his employees unfairly. That was why his subordinates were more motivated to work hard.

"Has Xiao Yang contacted you?"

"Yes, I heard him say that he would be responsible for arranging the vehicles. The quotation for the vehicles within the budget just now was provided by Xiao Yang."

"Okay, I won't ask about this matter anymore. I'll leave it to you. Ask Qin Shan to help you, especially when you're on site. She's considered an old employee of the company and is more familiar with the people in each department than you are."

"Okay." An Yi blinked. Did the boss accept his proposal that Qin Shan be the successor? Great! Maybe he had overestimated himself before, and the boss didn't want to force me to stay. Or maybe the boss had given up the idea. Anyway, the result now was what he expected.

Seeing that the cup in front of the boss was empty, An Yi asked: "Boss, do you need me to pour you a glass of water or coffee?"

Ding Hong paused his typing on the keyboard, shook his head and said, "No need." Then he went back to work.

The reply was expected. She was just doing her job as an assistant. Unlike other bosses, the one in front of her had never ordered her to pour a glass of water. If it was coffee, An Yi could understand that she was worried about her poor brewing skills, but what technical content could a glass of water have? Maybe the boss was obsessed with the things he used? Seeing that Ding Hong was busy, An Yi said goodbye and left quietly.

Before leaving get off work, An Yi finally completed all the steps and sent out the activity notification email group. The general public had already heard the news, and after receiving the email, everyone was overjoyed and excited, just looking forward to Friday coming soon.

At 2: p.m. on Friday, An Yi and Qin Shan were organizing and confirming whether all the personnel from each department were present, and they stood on the bus to count the number of people.

The boss will naturally go alone, Xiao Yang will drive a business car, and several executives including Manager Lu will also ride together, and they can continue to discuss business on the way.

At 2:30, the bus was set to depart. The two beauties sitting in the front row looked at each other and smiled. They had finally completed the first round successfully. They took out the schedule and began to check the next itinerary...

Checked into the hotel, arranged the room, emphasized the time and place of the dinner to everyone, confirmed the venue layout with the hotel manager Peng, and contacted Xiao Yang about the boss's schedule. Although busy, the two girls cooperated well and were orderly. An Yi was the absolute leader in this, not only because of her position as the general assistant, but also because her rich organizational experience was fully utilized, which made Qin Shan and others deeply appreciate An Yi's strength and the boss's precise and unique vision for employing people.

"Sister An An, that data processing position before was really a waste of your time!" Qin Shan sighed sincerely.

An Yi smiled calmly, feeling a mixed feeling in her heart. She thought she had left the workplace for many years and had forgotten or was not used to the working state, but it turned out to be engraved in her bones, just waiting for the opportunity to be called out.

Thinking that she would return to her family in a few months, she had no regrets in her heart. Nothing could shake her daughter's position in her heart, especially the guilt and self-blame for her daughter. If she could have been more tolerant and persistent... An Yi forced herself not to think about it anymore. Time is irreversible! Even if she could go back, would she really change her ways? An Yi was in pain and didn't dare to face it. She kept saying that she loved her daughter, but she still selfishly decided according to her own wishes. This was also the reason why An Yi couldn't look at herself and tell others about her heartache: she was afraid of being exposed by others. She even looked down on herself for being so hypocritical. How could she shamelessly deceive everyone and tell them that her choice was the right one?

There are two paths in life. No matter which path you choose, you are wrong when you make the choice. But time has no pause button. Either you make your own choice, or time pushes you forward without stopping for a moment.

Even if you find a fork in the road and try to go back to the other road, it is no longer the intersection where you faced the choice in the first place.

So, the choice is wrong.

It’s a pity that few people in the world can comprehend it, let alone the comfort of being imprisoned.

Ding Hong and his team arrived on time before the dinner. Several assistants including An Yi and Qin Shan were also waiting in the hotel lobby to help their superiors check in and explain the next steps.

An Yi originally wanted to stay here by herself, and the other girls could play the hotel's entertainment facilities with other colleagues. But Qin Shan, Zhou Ya and others stayed and waited very professionally. It was just the time for the gossip group to chat, and Manager Peng even thoughtfully prepared some refreshments in the lobby coffee area for the beauties to rest comfortably. They chatted while waiting, and time passed quickly. They didn't come out until they received a text message from Xiao Yang.

"Hello, boss. You've had a hard time on the road. The room is in the executive suite on the fifth floor. The dinner will be in the Chinese restaurant on the second floor, starting at seven o'clock." An Yi led the way while explaining the next schedule. This was just a monthly event, so the leaders were not scheduled to speak on stage. Of course, as a young entrepreneur, Ding Hong himself did not like these bureaucratic procedures.

"Well, you've worked hard, too. Go ahead and do your work. I'll go to the restaurant in a bit." After that, Ding Hong took the elevator and left. Manager Lu and the others took the elevator next to them. The executives knew when to rally closely around the boss and when to put the boss on a pedestal.

There was still some time before the dinner, and the girls smiled at each other, holding hands and walking outside the hotel to enjoy the surrounding scenery. The temperature in the mountains was a few degrees lower than in the city, and the green leaves all around relieved a lot of the stuffiness. In the swimming pool in the distance, anxious colleagues were already playing in the water. The youthful figures, some strong and some slim, attracted An Yi and others to walk there quickly with laughter.
