Chapter 2561: The arrogant Company Secretary

“I see.” Lin Yi smiled. He didn’t expect fatty Lai to make such a rule.

They took the elevator up and the guard brought Lin Yi to the vice president’s office, knocking on the door for him.

It was a young, pretty lady with thick makeup and a bit of arrogance-Lin Yi frowned. Was this Xiaobo’s Secretary?

“Eh? Why is it the security guard? What’s up? Why didn’t you call and inform us before bringing someone up?” The woman looked at the guard and Lin Yi, frowning.”Are you new here? Don’t you know the rules?”

“Secretary Wang, this is Lin Yi, Mr. Lin. Boss Lai said that people can come in without notice …” The security guard explained with a bitter smile.

“CEO Lai said to find him, this is Vice President Kang’s office!” The woman was obviously unhappy that the guard was using CEO Lai’s name to pressure her, but Lin Yi was surprised. How could this woman be so bold? Was there some sort of relationship between Cheng Zhen and Xiaobo? Otherwise, how could he be so awesome? It was as if she was the General Manager?

“Little Wang, what’s going on?” Xiaobo’s voice came from the office.

“Vice President Kang, someone said that President Lai personally approved him to enter the company at any time.” The girl said directly, not showing any respect to Xiaobo at all, which made Lin Yi even more suspicious.

“Oh?” Xiaobo blinked as he walked out of the office, his suspicions turning into joy as he ran over and held Lin Yi’s hand.”Boss, you’re here! I really didn’t expect this, please come in! Little Wang, there’s nothing else for you to do. You can go down first!”

“Oh.” The girl nodded and really did turn into the secretary’s room. Lin Yi glanced at the girl’s computer and saw that the game Plants vs Zombies was playing on it. It was even weirder. Usually, the Secretary would take the initiative to serve tea and water when the boss had guests, but this girl went straight back to playing games!

The guard wiped the sweat off his forehead.”Vice President Kang, I’ll go back first …”

“Alright, thank you for your hard work!” Xiaobo said with a nod.

“Xiaobo, are you used to working here?” Lin Yi looked at Xiaobo’s outfit-it’d only been a few months, and Xiaobo was looking more and more like a successful businessman now. There wasn’t a single bit of education left in him, and that made Lin Yi happy. It seemed like Xiaobo had chosen the right path.

“It’s not bad. Now that CEO Lai often goes on business trips, I’m in charge of everything in the company. It’s busy but very fulfilling! Boss, thank you for this opportunity!” Xiaobo said sincerely.

“Hehe, let’s talk inside!” Lin Yi said, pointing at the office.

“Okay, I almost forgot. Please come in …” Xiaobo quickly invited Lin Yi into the office and made him sit on the sofa. He then turned around and poured Lin Yi a glass of water.

Lin Yi was even more confused-what was that Secretary for?

“Xiaobo, how’s Fen?” Lin Yi didn’t want to ask directly-the two were on good terms, but it’d be too sudden to ask about Xiaobo’s relationship with the Secretary right after meeting him. He changed his approach.

“It’s pretty good!” Kang Zhaoming placed the tea in front of Lin Yi and said,”CEO Lai also built a high-end residential area nearby as a welfare house for his employees. The price inside is relatively low, and Fen and I bought one too. We’re already living together, and we’re planning to have the wedding next year and register our marriage when we’re of age.”

“Oh.” Lin Yi nodded-it seemed like the two were quite close, but this Secretary … Lin Yi thought about it. “Xiaobo, other than Fen, you haven’t had any other girls, have you? You also know that in your position …”

It wasn’t that Lin Yi was interfering too much-if Fen didn’t mind, Xiaobo’s choice was between the two of them, and Lin Yi wouldn’t mind at all. It was their family business, after all, but if he wanted to find a lover, he should at least find one that was decent. The beauty of the lady just now could only be said to be average, and her makeup was really not flattering. This was a company, not a theatrical troupe, so it was really unbearable to be painted like this! Plus, Lin Yi wasn’t too happy with the man’s arrogant attitude.

“Boss, what are you talking about? Fen and I are really close, why would I find someone else?” Xiaobo blinked, not expecting Lin Yi to bring that up.”To tell you the truth, boss, if it wasn’t for your help in the past, I would still be a loser. How could I have become the Vice President? Fen’s been with me since then, you can’t just abandon her just because I’m rich, right? Fen was also very powerful now. She even got an accountant and was now the company’s Deputy Financial Director! If I don’t keep a close eye on her, she’ll have a lot of suitors …”

Lin Yi nodded, relieved. Xiaobo sounded sincere, but Lin Yi was even more confused.”That Secretary of yours …”

Xiaobo blinked, understanding what Lin Yi was trying to say. Lin Yi’s words were probably directed at the Secretary as well-the Secretary’s attitude and way of doing things made Lin Yi overthink things …

But Xiaobo had something he didn’t want to say-he hesitated, a bitter smile on his face.”She … She got in through connections …”

“What? Connections?” Lin Yi was stunned. He finally understood why this woman was so strong. She got in through connections! Lin Yi didn’t know who this person was, but how powerful was she to be able to ignore a Vice President like Xiaobo?

“Yeah, he got in through connections. I couldn’t do anything about it, so I arranged for him to stay here, saying that it was for training …” Xiaobo shook his head helplessly.

“Whose connections are so awesome?” “You can’t even order her around as a Vice President?” Lin Yi asked.

“Well …” Kang Xiaobo really didn’t know how to explain it. This person was arranged by Tang Yun’s mother, Wang Yujie, and was a relative of Tang Yun’s mother. At that time, with her mother’s vain style, she had bragged in front of her relatives, saying that the boss behind the scenes was her son-in-law. Her relative was also a vain person, and thinking that he was also the boss’s relative, she didn’t even care about fatty Lai in the company …

But Xiaobo couldn’t tell her about Tang Yin-it was something Mengyao and Yushu had told him to do. It was a good thing the Secretary didn’t know Lin Yi’s name, and Mrs. Tang didn’t say anything either, or they’d be exposed.

“What’s wrong? Hard to say?” Lin Yi frowned. (To be continued.)
