Lin Wan broke free from Li Yanchen’s embrace when she heard the knock.

Even though they were intimate the night before, Li Yanchen insisted she sit on his lap while he worked.

Zhang had prepared an excuse to visit the office. However, his mind went blank when he heard Li Yanchen say, “Come in.”

He walked straight to Lin Wan. “Madam, I am your fan. Can I have an autograph?”

Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. He hadn’t stumbled on his words.

Li Yanchen narrowed his eyes. “Zhang…”

“Oh, President Li, you’re here too. I didn’t see you,” he said.

“Didn’t you see me as soon as you entered the room? I’m right in front of the door.”

“I’m sorry. You can fire me, but can I have Madam’s autograph before you do? I am her biggest fan. Even my sister and my mother are your fans, Madam. Oh, right… My sister is getting married during the Spring Festival. She loves you! Can you give me one more autograph and mention my sister in it? Please… It can be her wedding gift. She’ll die of happiness, I’m sure…”

Lin Wan was speechless.

“Alright. I’ll give you my autograph. Please tell them I’m just an ordinary person,” said Lin Wan as she signed ten autographs and dedicated them individually to Zhang’s family members.

“Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Sir.” Zhang closed the notebook and stumbled back to his own office.

‘What’s going on?’ Li Yanchen was amazed. He decided to call Secretary Han to ask about the recruitment standards. How could someone as rash and unprofessional be given a job at the company?

Li Yanchen dialed Secretary Han’s extension. “Secretary Han, come to my office.”

Secretary Han was uneasy. He tried to recall if he had done anything to upset his employer.

“Are you going to have a meeting? I’ll go inside.” Lin Wan got up from the sofa.

“No, it’s okay. Stay. It’s not a meeting. Just casual talk.”

Secretary Han was anxious. He couldn’t figure out any mistakes he might have made. On the contrary, he was quite satisfied with the work he had done. He stood in front of the door to the CEO’s office and raised a hand to knock.

He then put his hand down again. ‘Did I make a mistake with the proposal yesterday? Did I calculate the mount wrong?’

Han knocked on the door hesitantly.

“Come in.”

Secretary Han entered the office.

“Please sit.” Li Yanchen gestured to the chair across from him.

Secretary Han was surprised. It didn’t seem like his employer was angry at least. He had even offered him a seat.

‘Wait… is this a good thing or a bad thing?’

“Zhang came to the office just now and asked Wanwan for autographs.”

“What? In front of you?” asked Secretary Han. “I’ll arrange the paperwork.”

“Wait… Are you going to fire that employee just because he asked me for an autograph?” Lin Wan asked.

“Madam, there won’t be anyone daring to approach you so rashly in the future,” said Secretary Han.

“It’s just a small matter. No need for that,” said Lin Wan. “Mr. Li, it’s just a few autographs. If you are worried it might be seen as biased, I can sign a few for evervone later if vour other emDlovees want it too. Do vou feel like he wasted his working hours? It was just a few minutes. Don’t treat them like machines.”

Secretary Han glanced at Li Yanchen. “Well… Zhang is quite capable at his work. He is very efficient. Maybe he got too excited because he was Madam’s huge fan. I can email everyone to be more professional and not bother Madam with things like that in the future.”

“No need for that. It’s just a small matter. I won’t dare to come to this company in the future if you all are so serious,” said Lin Wan.

Li Yanchen sighed. “I’ll listen to her. If Wanwan doesn’t mind, then there’s no harm done. Please close the door behind you when you go,” he said.

After Secretary Han closed the door to the office, he let out a relieved sigh.

Assistant Qin was very happy with last night’s date. He was in such a good mood that he wanted to talk to Secretary Han about it.

When he saw Secretary Han walking by his office, he waved to him. “Han, come in and have a cup of tea with me.”

Secretary Han quickly entered Assistant Qin’s office. He sighed wearily as he sat down.

“Why are you so gloomy this early in the morning? What’s wrong?” asked Assistant Qin. He had wanted to talk about his date but seeing Secretary Han so worried, he couldn’t bring himself to talk about it.

Secretary Han recounted what had happened. “When Mr. Li managed the company, everyone was professional and obedient. How is it that these things are happening just when I took over? Entering the office and asking Madam for autographs… Can you believe it?”

“God… Is Zhang possessed by something? Fortunately, Madam is very understanding. Otherwise, Zhang would have definitely lost his job today. Although the boss has changed, he is still ruthless in nature. It’s not easy to change one’s nature.”

“Anyway, it’s my fault. Maybe I should resign as the acting manager and just be a regular administrative secretary.”

Secretary Han was filled with self-doubt.

Assistant Qin smiled. “Oh, come on… You’re overthinking. Have a cup of tea and calm down.”

After talking to Assistant Qin, Secretary Han felt a little better.

In Li Yanchen’s office, Lin Wan wrapped her arms around his neck. “Don’t be so serious. It’s scary.”

“Someone admiring my wife under my very nose? Am I being petty if I’m trying to stop that? It’s like celebrities being surrounded in the streets. This is an office. If you are a celebrity, then I’m your manager. I have to make sure I shield you.”

“It’s not that serious. As an employer, don’t be so serious all the time. You know it helps to get along with your employees occasionally and know more about them. It’s a good thing.”

“Yes, you’re right. In the future, instead of year-end bonuses, I’ll distribute my wife’s autographs. Let’s see how they like it then…”

Lin Wan was speechless.

Zhang returned to his seat and spread out the autographs on his desk.

He had to cut them out one by one and stick them to the front page of his notebook to give them to his family.

Assistant Qin tossed a pen onto Zhang’s desk, which made him snap out of his daze.

“You have a job, but you are still slacking off. Be careful or you’ll get fired.”

“Yes, I’ll work hard. I’ll serve the boss. Serving him means serving his wife. When the boss sees the achievements I create for the company, he’ll appreciate me. If he appreciates me, maybe I can ask for a reward and get him to agree to let my family meet Madam…” Zheng’s mind was filled with unrealistic fantasies.

Assistant Qin rolled his eyes.

The snowfall in Yun City was getting thicker. Xia MO called Lin Wan and told her that she took leave for the afternoon to do a live broadcast. She asked if Lin wan nad time to accompany ner to tne mall.

Wan had planned to go to the Snow Queen Theme Park later, but she decided to go shopping with Xia MO instead.

“Honey, I won’t be able to keep you company after lunch. Xia wants me to go with her to the mall. I also want to see this year’s winter fashion,” said Lin Wan.

“Not going to watch the rehearsal?” The woman shook her head. “Not going to the theme park?” Lin Wan shook her head. “Not going to accompany your husband?”

Lin Wan still shook her head.

“Alright, you can go then. Don’t worry about me, ” said Li Yanchen pitifully. He also wanted to go shopping, but no one had invited him..
