“Sister Lan, hello, I am the President's Assistant and also the Chief Assistant. We have met a few times at the engagement banquet before, so I believe you remember me.”
“Yes, I remember. You were standing behind Ye Zixun during the press conference.”
“Sister Lan has a great memory. Please take care of me in the future!” Assistant Lin extended his hand, which looked slender and strong, just like his very fair face, appearing as if he took good care of himself.
Even a man could be so handsome; Lan Baobao felt she should consider a makeover.
“Sister Lan, here is your transfer notice. Please pack your things and come with me; an office has already been prepared for you upstairs.”
“Upstairs? Office? Assistant Lin, I don’t understand what you mean!”
“Oh, Sister Lan, you are now the President's fiancée. It’s not suitable for someone of your status to be just an employee! An exceptional position has been prepared for you upstairs, perfectly fitting your identity!”
Lan Baobao was puzzled, knowing that all of this must be Ye Zixun's idea.
But this manager…
**was really too ungrateful. As soon as he heard that Ye Zixun's people arrived, he acted like a lapdog. Although Ye Zixun was the boss of this group, she was still one of his subordinates. He showed no protection for her at all, as if she were a plague, eager to send her away. Mu Jiangfeng was never like this!**
“Wait, I want to ask, what exactly does Ye Zixun want me to do by transferring me upstairs? Besides planning projects, I’m not skilled at anything else, and I certainly can’t do menial tasks! If he wants someone to serve him tea, he should find a professional instead of coming to me!”
Even more than half of the project planning was done by Brother Mu, and all the serving at home was done by Mumu. Her boy was just a Pillar. Thinking about this made Lan Baobao smile faintly.
Assistant Lin was confused but politely said, “President, you are his fiancée. It’s better to keep you close rather than far away where others can send you on errands. Sister Lan, please don’t make it difficult for us workers!”
The manager also patted Lazy Baby on the shoulder and spoke in a tone of someone who had been through it: “President Ye is concerned about you. Besides, while you two are in the heat of things, I believe Sister Lan would want to be close to President Ye. Going upstairs is just perfect!”
Who said she wanted to be glued to Ye Zixun all the time? Every time she saw Ye Zixun's face, her heart raced with anxiety.
“Assistant Lin, this matter…”
“This matter is directly ordered by the President. If we don’t see you after lunch today, we won’t have any explanation to give. I believe Sister Lan understands the President's personality quite well!”
He smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling.
A threat, this was a blatant threat! The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a bit strange, and in the end, it was she who awkwardly laughed.
"I understand, I'll pack my things right away!"
Her belongings were few and simple; one cardboard box was all it took. Assistant Lin helped her carry the box into the elevator. He said nothing, and Lan Baobao didn't dare to say much either, feeling resentful towards Ye Zixun.
This man was domineering enough, but he didn't even give her a shred of human rights. He didn't give her any prior notice and just issued orders for her to follow, as if she were merely an object.
She thought about getting angry, but when she remembered that person was Ye Zixun, with those slightly squinted eyes...
Lan Baobao lost her confidence. In the elevator, she looked around nervously and finally asked, "Assistant Lin, may I ask what my main duties will be once I get up there? What is my position?"
"Sister Lan's position is assistant, one of President Ye's life assistants, mainly responsible for some trivial matters and also for President Ye's daily affairs."
In other words, Ye Zixun would let her know all his whereabouts but wouldn't allow her to interfere in any business matters. This man was truly clever yet cunning.
However, returning to the point, as an assistant—no, a life assistant—Lan Baobao had to rely on Mumu for her own life; how could she possibly manage Ye Zixun's affairs? Wasn't that a joke!
Lan Baobao rolled her eyes dramatically. Ye Zixun was just asking for trouble!
With a ding, the elevator stopped at the top floor.
Lan Baobao followed Assistant Lin out. The working environment of someone at the president level was naturally different from below; even the staff's gazes were filled with hostility. On this top floor, there were only three offices for president-level individuals: one belonged to Ye Ziyun, another office was reportedly long vacant with only occasional visitors, and Lan Baobao had only heard half of the rumors about who that room belonged to. The last office was Ye Zixun's.
His office was the largest and deepest one.
Lan Baobao had never been up here before. Following Assistant Lin closely behind, she felt nervous as the staff's gazes made her uncomfortable.
Sigh, the Ye Family's employees were all elites; those at the top were the cream of the crop. Their ability to kill with their eyes was more powerful and terrifying than anyone else's. Lan Baobao felt as if she had been stabbed several times, a burning pain coursing through her.
Today, she wore a very simple shirt that was slightly sheer under the bright light, paired with plain jeans and flat shoes. She hadn't washed her hair in the morning, so she had it styled in a bun. Walking among the meticulously dressed female employees made her feel a bit shy.
“Sister Lan, please sit here for a moment. I'll call someone to bring the forms and then take you to the office!”
“Okay, I'll wait for you here!”
Lan Baobao was in a room designated for employees to take their lunch breaks. The employees on the top floor and those downstairs not only had separate dining areas but also had designated places for afternoon tea, clearly indicating a hierarchy.
This room had a refrigerator filled with desserts, coffee, and milk tea. On the nearby cabinet were snacks and fruits, and next to it was a large floor-to-ceiling window that provided good lighting and an open view.
Leaning against the glass window was a large beige sofa. As soon as she sat down, she sank into it. She shifted her position slightly on the sofa, feeling its texture and elasticity, cursing Ye Zixun for being such a spendthrift! It was truly extravagant to have an entire genuine leather sofa in the employee lounge!
“When women get bad, they get rich; when men get rich, they become perverts. It's really true!”
“Sister Lan, please follow me!”
Assistant Lin suddenly appeared, and Lan Baobao quickly smiled and followed behind him.
They walked to the door of an office. Upon pushing open the marble door, a huge desk came into view. Besides some documents, there was only a computer and a few common items on the desk, making it look quite empty.
“Assistant Lin, this office isn't for me, is it?”
Lan Baobao carefully surveyed the surroundings of the room and was startled to see a deer head mounted on the wall.
Following her gaze, Assistant Lin chuckled and said, “This deer head was shot by President Ye when he first became the heir. The deer meat has already been eaten; this head was preserved as a trophy. This office belongs to President Ye. I brought you in here to familiarize yourself with the environment; your office is right here!”
Exiting Ye Zixun's office and turning left to stroll around, she found an exquisite single desk and chair nearby. There wasn't another staff member in sight, and behind the desk was a kitchen displaying coffee and supplies.
“What is this...?”
“This is your desk, Sister Lan. From now on, you'll work here. Your task is to handle everything on this report!”
Assistant Lin cheerfully handed over a laminated sheet of paper. Lan Baobao softly read aloud, "Hand-ground Lan Dai coffee at nine o'clock, two sour plums at nine-thirty, an appetizer at eleven, the main course starts at eleven-thirty, and a nap at twelve-thirty..."
She read through the entire list, and by the time she reached the last item, her spirit was nearly breaking down: "Assistant Lin, the last item is to block any women who call or come to cause trouble. What does this mean?"
"Before President Ye got engaged to you, there were many women. I've already placed their information on your desk. Your main job for these two days is to remember what's on that information. Some of these women have been completely cut off, but as everyone knows President Ye's financial power, there will always be a few women who either call or come in person. Sister Lan, your main task is to use reasonable excuses to send them away."
Setting aside what could be considered reasonable excuses, just looking at the three piles of documents on and under the desk made Lan Baobao feel a headache coming on.
Even if he had been fooling around since he was sixteen, that's still less than eight years. How many experiences must he have had to juggle so many women?
Lan Baobao suddenly felt that Ye Zixun should undergo a thorough disinfection to be worthy of her pure body.
"Sister Lan, your dedicated phone line and the mobile phone given to you by the president are on the desk. If you have any questions, just come find me. The president will return in an hour; at that time, please serve coffee and a macaroon. The dessert will be delivered by someone outside; just accept it. Your watch has all the timings written down; I won't disturb you any longer!"
"Hey, Assistant Lin, take your time leaving; I'll study this some more!"
"Then I'll get back to work!"
Lan Baobao's chair was genuine leather and quite comfortable. She turned around in it a couple of times, feeling slightly better, but when she looked down at those documents again, her headache returned with a vengeance. After burying herself in the papers for over half an hour, she had only managed to finish reading about seven or eight people, and her head felt as big as a hat.
If it weren't for the delivery person bringing desserts, she would have nearly dozed off. She secretly tasted Ye Zixun's coffee before delivering it to his office. Just as she was about to step out from the front, a cold voice sounded behind her, tinged with a hint of teasing. The voice was very familiar; Lan Baobao felt something strange in her heart but couldn't recall when she had last heard it.
