Special Assistant Bei Yuan stood outside the president's office with worry on his face.
A few days ago, President Lu Xun went to B City to attend a few meetings with their business partner. Everything was going well until a new talent had decided to use this chance to get close with their boss.
Bei Yuan has been working under Lu Xun long enough to know that his boss despised it when a woman pulled such a trick to get close to him.
Previously, there were a few women who had tried to pull a similar move. Later, they were unsuccessful and had to suffer from their action. President Lu Xun would never be lenient towards those who harbored such intention towards him.
Just as he had thought, the next day, Bei Yuan heard that
However! When Bei Yuan heard that his boss's girlfriend, Miss Song had appeared at the hotel and had witnessed how that new trainee had tried to seduce their boss, Bei Yuan had almost fainted.
He was worried that Miss Song would be upset and then, the couple's relationship had to suffer.
It was not long ago that his boss had finally started to date again. Bei Yuan finally found out his boss's weakness and would frequently use Miss Song to convince his boss into doing a proper job.
If they break up, then... what was he supposed to do?
His boss would definitely neglect his job again.
Then, his workload would pile up again.
Thinking of this situation made Bei Yuan almost want to cry. He could not help but curse that new talent for doing something so absurd and giving him a hard time.
He had actually planned to take a few days off and go on a short vacation. It looked like he could forget this dream.
The elevator opened with a ding.
Bei Yuan watched as his boss walked out with a bright smile on his face and thought that there was something wrong with this scene.
He has been preparing himself to see his boss coming into the office with a dark look on his face.
But, what is this?
The look on his boss's face told him that the man was in a very good mood.
"Assistant Bei Yuan, good morning."
Bei Yuan was startled for a few seconds. Hearing his boss cheerily greeting him scared him. For a moment, Bei Yuan was wondering if he has been worrying about his boss's reaction too much that he had started to imagine things.
Lu Xun halted when he saw the strange look on his assistant's face. "Bei Yuan, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like you have seen a ghost?"
The question snapped him back to his senses. "President Lu, good morning. Is everything fine in B City?"
Bei Yuan had thought that Lu Xun had extended his stay in B City to deal with that trainee. Now that his boss was standing before him, Bei Yuan thought that it would be better if he try to be careful around his boss.
"Mmm... Of course, everything is fine."
He had coaxed Song Xing Xing's father into accepting him. Moreover, that man had said that as long as Xing Xing agree, he could marry his daughter.
Just thinking about this made Lu Xun happy.
"Right." Lu Xun's face turned serious. "Bei Yuan, call Director Fei and have him come to my office."
This instruction made Bei Yuan start to sweat. It was not hard for him to guess that the reason President Lu had called Director Fei to come to his office had something to do with that trainee.
Bei Yuan foresee that things would get ugly.
He wondered if he should trick Miss Song to come over to the office and help him coax President Lu.
Right. He still did not know what was their relationship status after they returned from B City together. If the couple was fighting, inviting Miss Song to the office would definitely turn worst.
"Yes, President Lu." Bei Yuan nodded obediently.
As Lu Xun sauntered into his office, Bei Yuan signaled the secretaries to keep their voice down lest they would get themselves into trouble.
Taking a deep breath, Bei Yuan entered the office and started to summarize the company's update as well as his boss's schedule.
Lu Xun stared at his computer screen as he listened to Bei Yuan's report. After scrolling the page for a while, Lu Xun finally halted and looked at Bei Yuan with his eyes narrowed.
"President Lu, is there something wrong?"
"Did I have an appointment in the evening?"
Bei Yuan looked at the tablet in his hand and shook his head. "No. Your schedule in the evening is clear."
"That's good." A faint smile appeared on his face. Lu Xun was planning to head to a place to buy something and planned a surprise for his girlfriend.
Thinking that it was almost Song Xing Xing's birthday, Lu Xun decided to give Long Fei a call and asked for his arrangement over there.
He raised his head and saw that Bei Yuan was still standing in front of him. A thought suddenly came to his mind and he asked, "Bei Yuan, how long has it been since the last time you take a vacation?"
"Eight months."
Lu Xun nodded. "Then, tomorrow, you don't have to come to the office."
His face paled. Before his boss could finish what he was going to say, Bei Yuan stepped forward and asked, "President Lu, why do you want to fire me? Have I done something wrong?"
Although his boss was a little strange, Bei Yuan liked working for the company. Moreover, no one would be generous enough to give as much salary as President Lu.
Lu Xun shot his assistant a puzzled look. "Who said I was going to fire you?"
"Then, why did you tell me not to come to the office?"
Lu Xun looked at his assistant's pale face and chuckled. It seemed that he had scared this strange assistant with his words.
"I haven't finished what I was going to say. You should listen carefully before you interrupt."
Bei Yuan swallowed as he waited for his boss to continue.
"Didn't you say that you haven't taken a vacation for a long time? I'm giving you a week off. You can pick any destination and I will pay for your vacation."
Bei Yuan thought that he had definitely misheard things. However, pinching himself on the thigh felt painful and his boss's expression did not seem as if he was joking with him. "President Lu... why?"
"You better accept this offer while I am feeling generous."
He stood up straight and nodded. "President Lu. Thank you!" Bei Yuan hesitated a few seconds before he asked, "President Lu, it seemed that you're in a very good mood?"
The corner of his lips tilted up. "Bei Yuan, I will tell you a secret."
The assistant stood up straight and promised that he will keep this secret.
"Bei Yuan, I'm getting married."
