Chapter 232 - 232: Untitled
Monday.
Li An’an stepped into the office and noticed that her colleagues were looking at her strangely. Some were even huddled at the side and whispering to each other.
She stood outside the lounge and overheard their conversation.
“I heard that Li An’an is having an affair with the CEO. Indeed, she’s really capable. I was wondering why a personal secretary position was suddenly created. Moreover, she only has a high school education.”
“Exactly. I found it strange as well. Do you recall the last meeting when she barged into the meeting room? Anyone with some working experience would know what’s appropriate and what’s not. She’s only interested in pleasing the CEO and gaining favor.”
“Shh, that’s not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that her father was actually a murderer. How dare such a woman step into our company? I’m nervous. If I offend her some day, is she going to harm me?”
“You never know. What kind of upbringing does the daughter of a murderer have? Haven’t you heard the saying that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes? The sort of children that will result depends on the sort of family they are born into. She’s not like us. who are from superior families and are well educated.”
Li quietly listened to the exchange. She had heard this kind of sarcasm countless times since she was young. She was already mentally strong and did not care what they said. In any case, the office was full of people who schemed against each other. On the surface, they were bantering, but deep down inside, they were actually jealous. They were jealous that a vixen like her was able to hook up with Chu Yichen, but they could only talk about it behind her back. She didn’t care about such people at all.
She walked back into the secretary office. The office was very quiet. When everyone saw her, they lowered their gaze. It did not matter to her too.
Chu Yichen came out after the meeting.
Li Cheng looked like he had something to say, but he hesitated. “CEO, the news that Li An’an’s father is a murderer has gone viral in the company.” He didn’t know how the news was leaked. Now, the entire company was talking about her and her relationship with the CEO.
Chu Yichen stopped in his tracks. The higher-ups behind him felt the atmosphere turn chilly.
“It’s because they have too little work on hand. They’re so free that they’re gossiping behind people’s backs. They’ve forgotten what’s in the employee’s manual. If that’s the case, get the human resource department to review it again. ”
The human resource manager broke out in a cold sweat. It was going to be a huge project and would make the Human Resources Department extremely busy. These young ladies in the company were really inconsiderate. What business of it was theirs as to whom the CEO liked?
Chu Yichen dismissed the higher-ups and called Li Cheng to the office.
“Circulate a statement to hold the rumormongers accountable.”
Li Cheng nodded and immediately went to release a statement. The CEO’s heart ached for Li An’an.
After this announcement was released, no one dared to discuss it, regardless of whether it was true. Moreover, most people would only believe that this was a rumor.
When Bess saw Li Cheng instructing a secretary to do this, she turned to leave. Recently, she felt that the CEO had deliberately distanced himself from her. She barely expressed her feelings, and he had responded by clarifying their relationship. She was now suffering from severe insomnia. She felt that if this continued, she would not be able to stay in this position. And the person who had caused her to end up like this was Li An’an. She couldn’t accept it.
After Li Cheng instructed the secretary, he looked towards Bess’s back view.
Women can never escape emotions, and surprisingly, Bess was the same. The CEO had gradually driven the message across to her, hoping that she wouldn’t keep making mistakes.
“Assistant Li, there seems to be an error in the statistics.” Li Cheng took it and noted that it was Bess who submitted it. There was actually a glaring error in it.
“Reorganize the statistics!”
Bess appeared around a corner nearby. The CEO had already realized that she was getting less and less focused on her work. She needed immediate help..
