BXBX NOVEL Chapter 179 - 179: Overwhelmed
In the afternoon, Li An’an distributed the pickled vegetables to her colleagues. She had made a rather big lot yesterday, so she had brought a bottle for each of them.
“An’an, you’re really too kind. This is milk tea for you. Thank you.”
Xiao Zhang ate heartily. “It was too fragrant. I would be so full of motivation for work if I had food like this everyday.”
“Oh my god, I’d even work overtime every day to eat food like this!”
Li An’an was embarrassed by the praise.
Bess appeared at the office door, looking high and mighty. “Li An’an, this is an office. Don’t bring such inferior food here again. It will affect the employees’ appetite. ”
“I don’t think so. Look, they’re enjoying the food” Li An’an felt that the woman was just out looking to cause trouble.
“When I say no, it means no. I’m in charge of the secretary office.”
Bess was taking the opportunity to stir up trouble. Every time Li An’an went to the CEO’s office, she would be there for a long time. She didn’t think it was as simple as delivering coffee, and that crossed her bottom line.
Li An’an could only swallow her anger.
“An’an, don’t be angry. Bess has very strict requirements, and the CEO thinks very highly of her. You know what I mean, right? Junior employees like us have to be sensible.” After Bess left, her colleague, Xiao Zhang, comforted her.
“I understand!” How could she not understand? It was not her first job. Besides, she could tell that Bess was targeting her because of Chu Yichen. As long as it was not too much, she would tolerate the woman for the sake of drawing a salary.
An hour later, Bess came to the office again. “Li An’an, there’s a guest in the meeting room. Send a cup of coffee over!”
Li An’an immediately set herself to work. After all, she was here to do a job and mustn’t be too free.
At the entrance of the meeting room, Li An’an pushed the door open. She was stunned to see so many people in the meeting room. Immediately she wanted to curse and swear.
All the higher-ups were having a meeting and looking very tense. Chu Yichen was leaning back in his chair solemnly. When the door was pushed open, he glanced over and immediately felt a cold fury.
Li Cheng, who was seated next to Chu Yichen, felt regretful at once. The CEO hated being interrupted during meetings. Why did Li An’an suddenly make such an error? This wasn’t the right moment to try putting up a good performance.
Everyone was waiting for Li An’an to be yelled at.
Bess came in from outside and reprimanded, “Li An’an, why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to send coffee to the guest room? Why are you here? Get out quickly! The CEO doesn’t need coffee now.”
Li An’an glared at Bess, knowing that she had been tricked. She had clearly mentioned the meeting room.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. Everyone felt that Li An’an was in a hurry to perform and did not know where to draw the line. She was just an incompetent flower vase. The company should not use such a person.
Li Cheng stood up, intending to gently ask Li An’an to leave. After all, it would hurt a girl’s self-esteem to be treated like this.
Just as he stood up, Chu Yichen put his pen down on the table and leaned back. He said coldly, “We’ll break for five minutes. Bring the coffee in.”
His deep gaze met Li An’an’s. Li An’an retracted her anger and walked in with the coffee.
Everyone in the meeting room looked at Li An’an in shock. They had heard that she was Chairman Chu’s personal secretary. It seemed like she was very favored. She didn’t get kicked out even after the meeting was interrupted.
“Don’t come in casually in the future. I don’t like to be interrupted when I’m working! Remember this. There won’t be a next time,” Chu Yichen whispered in
Li An’an’s ear as she bent down.
Li Cheng heard his words clearly. Was the CEO being biased?
Li An’an was surprised. When Chu Yichen was working, he was swift and decisive. She had never thought that she would be able to get away.
“Okay.” She said blankly.
Chu Yichen’s gaze fell on Li An’an’s slightly opened lips due to shock. She had put on lipstick today. The color was red and bright, which suited her very well. Her eyes were clear and a little aggrieved, especially moist. His throat felt a little tight and his expression darkened. Li An’an could feel the heat in his eyes and hurriedly left..
