Chapter 831 - Jiang Shengyi

The time arrived when the employees of De L'amour came to work. Liu Shan had returned to his office, while Yue Ling remained in her own.

* Ring ring

She was typing on her computer keyboard when her work phone rings loudly. She doesn't look away from the monitor but presses the speaker button.

"Yue Ling here."

[ "CEO Han, Miss Jiang is here. Would you like me to have her sent to the waiting room?"]

De L'amour's receptionist Sophia spoke from the other line. When Yue Ling heard her words, she glances at the time on her computer before returning to what she was doing.

"Send her up to the conference room."

[Yes, ma'am."]

The call ends, and Yue Ling's fingers over the keyboard pause. She steadily got up from her chair and walked toward the door.

The second she opened the door, Liu Shan greeted her. He had one

arm raised with a posture like he was going to knock.

She stares at him with an arched eyebrow but walks past him as she knew why he was standing in front of her office.

"She's here."

Liu Shan was still in shock about what just happened. He swore his boss was physic since she opened the door like she knew he was coming to meet her.

However, hearing her sudden words, he frowns with pouting lips as he knows who is the 'she' his boss mentioned. Of course, he didn't forget to follow after her.

"ls it time already?"

He glances down at his wristwatch and seeing the time he nods his head

approvingly.

"Wow. She's here early."

His words fell, and he recalls a certain someone. His face contorted with disgust as he spat his words.

"Unlike that good for nothing Ming Yue, who is always late but claims she was the first one here."

Remembering all the things Ming Yue did in the past made him want to cough blood due to anger. However, since his boss hasn't mentioned her since she disappeared, he will stay quiet for now.

After all, he and Yue Ling know where she (Ming Yue) is precisely hiding.

He brushes away all the thoughts and comes to his senses. When he did, they had arrived in front of the elevator. He naturally stretches an arm to press the button, but Yue Ling moved faster before he could make a move.

"..."

His head slowly turns to look at her. Seeing her calm expression, he lightly shook his head. How could he forget? She may be his superior, but she isn't the type to wait for others to press the elevator button for her.

"If you have a question to ask, don't hesitate."

Yue Ling spoke without looking at Liu Shan. She knew what he was on his mind as he would occasionally remind her to act like a CEO. However, she is never one to place herself above those who are inferior to her.

Whether it is opening the door, pressing an elevator button, make a cup of tea or coffee, she won't bother others with simple things. She can do these herself.

Liu Shan snorts a faint chuckle in sarcasm. He looks away from her and stares at the elevator door.

"What question is there to ask when you already answered it with your expression."

* ding-

His last word fell, and the elevator arrives at their floor. The door slides open, and disregarding his inferior position as Yue Ling's assistant, he takes a big step inside.

Yue Ling doesn't say anything but shakes her head and follows in after him.

As the boss and assistant head down the elevator, Secretary Jiang patiently waited in the conference room.

She wore a plain black suit dress with simple black heels. Her hair was put in a low bun behind her nape, and a few strands of loose hair framed her face.

Her entire being gave off a professional yet elegant air. However, she was

often ly glancing at the wall clock.

"Did I arrive too early?"

The appointed time Yue Ling told her was 10 am. However, having been a secretary at Fang Fabrics for a few years, she always came to work an hour early. She did this because she didn't want to be ridiculed by her boss as incompetent and liked to be ahead of schedule to overlook assignments that she might have missed the day before.

As her thoughts began to trail further, she unknowingly bites her lower lip.

What if Yue Ling finds her early arrival as a nuisance? Should she have arrived a little later?

*knock knock

However, before she could get too deep in her thoughts, a knock interrupts her from the door.

She turns her head to see it opening, and she quickly stood up from her seat, almost stumbling in her movements.

Liu Shan enters the room first. He caught a glimpse of the way Secretary Jiang stood up but pretended he did not see anything.

"Good morning, Miss Jiang."

He greets her with an extensive and warm smile before taking a few steps away from the door.

Upon seeing the assistant, Secretary Jiang was taken back by surprise. She had expected an interview with Yue Ling and not with Liu Shan, but knowing that Yue Ling is a busy person, she quickly brushes this thought aside.

Her lips part in an attempt to return the greeting, but before she could greet the man back, she swallowed her words when she sees a familiar person.

She held in her breath without realizing it and could only stare with slightly widened eyes.

Yue Ling gracefully enters the room, and her bluish-green eyes quickly meet with Secretary Jiang's brown ones. On her face was a small but warm smile.

"Hello, Miss Jiang. It's a great pleasure to meet you again. I hope there was no trouble coming here."

Hearing her words, Secretary Jiang's shoulders that had gone stiffed slowly relaxed, and she remembers to breathe.

She shakes her head in answer and to get rid of her previous thoughts.

"Good morning, Miss Han. Please call me Jiang Shengyi."

Yue Ling smiles at the woman in front of her. She can see From a glance that Jiang Shengyi will not disappoint her in the future.

However, since she (Jiang Shengyi) is taking the position as her (Yue Ling) secretary, she (Yue Ling) will have to test her (Jiang Sheng yi) capabilities.

"From our last meeting, I'm sure you are acquainted with the current situation I am with An Qing."

She walks up to the main seat in the room and sits down. As she did so, she didn't forget to gesture for Jiang Shengyi to take a seat.

"I have a meeting at An Qing in an hour. Given that today is your first day here, I hope you do not mind attending with me."

Her eyes never moved from the woman as her words continue.

"If you find this difficult for you, I will not hold you accountable for your decision as this is a last-minute notice."

Jiang Shengyi was at a loss as she didn't expect to be assigned an important task on her first day at work.

However, she cannot disappoint Yue Ling since she (Yue Ling) specifically chose her to be her (Yue Ling) secretary.

She inhales a deep silent breath and straightens her posture. Her expression turns serious with eyes locked on Yue Ling.

"As long as you find me worthy, I will do my best to assist you."

Yue Ling responds with a satisfied smile. Her head turns to Liu Shan and

she sends him a slight nod.

Upon seeing the signal, Liu Shan walks over to Jiang Shengyi. He places a small stack of doc.u.ments on the table in front of her.

As he moves back, Yue Ling began to explain.

"In front of you is the contract agreement between your employment and De L'amour. Please read it thoroughly before signing. If you are unsatify with anything, I can make some arrangements."

She calmly stands up from her seat as her words continue.

"Our meeting will come to an end here as I have to make rounds. However, Assistant Liu will be here to assist you if you have any further questions regarding the contract."

Without waiting for a response from either person, she leaves the conference room first.

Jiang Shengyi was in quite the shock. She thought the interview would be more extended, but it was unexpectedly short and quick. However, she can tell that Yue Ling is actually serious despite her calm and composed demeanor.

As she begins reading through the contract, Liu Shan stood not too far with observing eyes.

At first, he couldn't understand why Yue Ling would hire someone like Jiang Shengyi. However, after doing some investigating, he understood.

Everyone from De L'amour is from Fate. She (Yue Ling) wants the opinion of someone who is not associated with the underworld.

And Jiang Shengyi is that person. A woman with expertise in both the fashion and business industry.

However, her talent was obstructed by President Fang, who fail to recognize great talent.
