Chapter 2, The Boss of Noodle Master.
Three years have passed now, and not only is she still alive, but she is also regarded as a mascot-like presence in the company. She has completely figured out the way to deal with Lu Jiming.
At that time, Ning Meng did feel a bit like she saw the big bad wolf playing the role of the wolf grandmother. But she thought, "Who cares? Whether it's being a secretary or working on a project, let's just find a job first. We can always transfer to another position in the future."
When passing by Yang Xiaoyang's workstation, Yang Xiaoyang licked his lips towards Ning Meng's legs, and made a gesture with two thumbs up like a mentally disabled child.
"What are you making me do? Let me do it myself? Are these hands of mine not meant for this?!" Lu Jiming held up his well-proportioned fingers, clearly never having done any manual labor, and roared in pain and self-pity.
Liu Yitian said: "To others, it's like walking on a minefield, but for you, it's no problem! You have an anti-missile constitution!"
Lù jì míng xié piēzhe níng méng, liǎn shàng yǒu céng báo báo de chēn nù: "Shuí shuō tā shì shàn zuò jué dìngle? Shì wǒ ràng tā nàme gàn de!"
The newly appointed head of Project Department 2, Qiu Junlin, nervously reported to Lu Jiming.
Yao Qi asked Ning Meng while doing her makeup, "Meng Meng, what's the matter with you so early?"
Lu Jiming roared on the flat ground: "What are you all eating? What did you tell me before? This is a good project, a project that will definitely make money. And now? And now!"
The reason is that he previously invested in a clothing company. Recently, the company has been facing financial difficulties and a significant decline in profits. According to the original investment plan, it is time for the company to conduct Series B financing, and they can exit by transferring shares during this round of financing.
Calculating the time, it should already be dawn on the other side of the Earth, and Ningmeng has turned on the computer to connect.
At the end of one month, she was still there.
Qiu Junlin quickly shut up and squatted down to pick up the report.
Ning Meng shivered.
Yang Xiaoyang came over and spoke up for Ning Meng: "What are you doing? Helping is a matter of friendship, not helping is a matter of duty. This is ridiculous, as if you owe him something! Ah Meng, do you think he is stupid? The person in the company who should least confront him is you! It's been a couple of months since he arrived, why hasn't he bothered to understand the basic situation of the company!"
After a while, Liu Yitian came out of the office. Before leaving, he said to Ning Meng, "Mr. Lu is calling you in."
Ning Meng almost fell over from these words. ... How did she become like a powerful eunuch who had a say by the side of a foolish ruler ...
Ningmeng did feel the distress signal, but after all, she is just a secretary who likes to meddle in everything. It's too self-important.
They chatted casually for a while, and Ning Meng ended the video call.
Depending on the situation of the company, it is unlikely that we can proceed with Series B financing now.
After work in the evening, Ningmeng returned home.
Ning Meng rolled her eyes and chuckled: "I've been hearing this for three years!"
Qiu Junlin glanced at Ning Meng, hoping to get support and help. He had heard that seeking help from Ning Meng in times of danger might just save him. However, Ning Meng avoided eye contact and had a blank expression on her face.
As he stood up, Lu Jiming asked, "How did the company's cash flow break and profits decline? Have you investigated the reasons thoroughly?"
You Qi suddenly became ecstatic: "This time it's really fast. After Lao He finishes this final project and completes the handover, he can take me back! I know you miss me, and I miss you too. Kisses!"
You can twist and turn as much as you want, Mr. Lu, but if you twist yourself to death one day, I won't even give you a proper burial if that's not being loyal!
Ning Meng looked surprised and said, "You asked for it, so why are you scolding them?"
When are you coming back to China as you said you would?
Ning Meng's eyelids twitched slightly. It's over, she directly confronted the boss.
Are you trying to cause trouble! I don't have masochism!
Chasing after Lu Jiming, Ning Meng steadied her breath, found the right tone, and spoke softly with a seemingly indifferent tone, saying, "Boss, it's better to just fire Manager Ren."
After receiving instructions, Ningmeng deliberately said, "Understood. As long as they still have a breath left, I will urge Lao Tang to repay the money quickly."
Ningmeng patiently explained, "General Qiu, I will try my best to help with everything I can, but ultimately I am just a secretary. Besides, if I hadn't choked on something earlier, causing a delay, would you have been able to come out now?"
After quickly flipping through his resume, Liu Yitian deceived Ning Meng into taking the position of Secretary to Lu Jiming.
Lù jì míng yī qiāo zhuōzi: "Gàn shénme! Wǒ shì ràng nǐ qù bī zhài de ma? Wǒ shì ràng nǐ qù kàn kàn Lǎo Táng érzi shāng chéng shénme yàng, huó de guòlái ma, tā jiālǐ yǒu shénme kùnnán, gōngsī zhōuzhuǎn xūyào shénme bāngzhù!" Shuō dào zhè kànzhe Níng Méng yǒudiǎn tiāo gāo de méishāo, tā kāishǐ qiáng xíng bǔchōng jiěshì, "Wǒ zhè kě bùshì zuò císhàn, wǒ shì pà wǒ de tóuzī dǎle shuǐpēng!"
Three years have passed. As time goes by, this thought in her heart has become stronger and stronger.
Before she arrived, Lu Jiming was known for his hot temper and being a demanding boss. The longest record for a secretary who stayed by his side and served him closely was just two days short of three months.
Ning Meng has created many legends in the "Secretary of Lu Jiming" position.
Ning Meng undid her hair, took off her glasses, and stretched her waist.
Video calls are quickly connected, and in front of the camera, Yuqi, with rabbit ears headband, is applying face cream.
Then she opened the document and typed in "job transfer application".
Qiujunlin's mouth moved and he wanted to say something to defend himself. Ningmeng couldn't bear it anymore and said at the right time, "President Lu, why don't you meet with President Liu Yitian first? He has been waiting outside for a long time."
Ning Meng's eyelids twitched again. Let Lu make his decision, he can wait to be criticized to death.
Yóu Qí hēng hēng jī jī yī diǎn tóu: "Wǒ kàn bù zhǐ shì gěi wǒ ba, yīnggāi shì gěi shìrén zhǎnxiàn de dōu shì zhèyàng de yìnxiàng. Shéi zhīdào nǐ shì bùshì shěbùdé nǐ nà huǒshān lǎobǎn a."
The next day, the entire day, Lu Jiming's mood was very bad, extremely bad.
How do I acknowledge? Do I acknowledge by giving you a fingerprint or signing a contract to indicate my acknowledgment? Ah?!
Ning Meng really wants to strangle this idiot.
She entered the office.
Ning Meng was stunned for a moment: "Is this the impression I have given you?" It made her seem as if she was reluctant to leave the position of secretary.
While standing still, Lu Jiming put on his suit jacket and fastened the buttons on his shirt. Ning Meng handed him the tie.
For example, Liu Yitian.
Ning Meng asked in a low voice: "Is there any danger?"
How is your tie-tying practice going?
As expected, Lu Jiming interrupted angrily: "What does this have to do with me? I am an investor, not a charity worker! You should be the one doing good deeds! If something happens to his family, are the other employees just decorations? Can't they take over? With such poor management in the company, why bother raising funds and going public!"
A year has passed, and she is still alive. Moreover, the salary that Lu Jiming gave her has doubled.
Ning Meng: "... ..." Why wasn't his hand chopped off by someone!
As expected, the next second Lu Jiming picked up the company's financial report from the desktop and threw it towards Qiu Junlin.
From the age of twenty-two to twenty-five, this period of youth, when girls should be full of youthful hormones, was dedicated to Lu Jiming, this eccentric and fiery CEO.
"If you have the ability, go ahead and do it. I really can't wait."
Ning Meng only found out later that it was such a remarkable achievement for her to persist in her position as the personal secretary to the CEO. It was truly awe-inspiring within the company.
By what authority can I dismiss him?
Actually, she studied finance in college instead of secretarial work. When she graduated, she looked for a job with the purpose of doing projects. However, on the day of the interview, she happened to encounter Lu Jiming, who was in a bad mood and had no use for his secretary to do the work.
When Liu Yitian temporarily offered Ning Meng as a sacrifice to Lu Jiming to be the president's secretary, he didn't actually think that Ning Meng could hold on for long. Everyone else thought the same way. But no one expected that a miracle would happen.
After graduating from Ningmeng University, Ji Ming Capital was the first place where she worked. So far, she has been working here for three years.
Mr. Tang is the chairman of the clothing company who had a car accident with his family.
Lù jì míng zhāo zhe Qiū Jùnlín hěn méi hǎoqì de yī bǎi shǒu. Qiū Jùnlín nènè de tuìchūle bàngōngshì.
Lu Jiming immediately crumpled the tie into a ball and fiercely stuffed it back to Ning Meng.
What is called a beauty? This is a beauty! 360-degree no dead angle, in front of You Qi, can only be called one-sided. To be as good-looking as You Qi, it must be a 3D view without dead angles.
Up to today.
The administrative director Liu Yitian, who was scolded miserably, stumbled into the interview room and pointed at the only female candidate, Comrade Ning Meng, and said to the interviewer, "Show me her resume quickly!"
Ning Meng had a black line on her face. She is not a smog, why would she oppose missiles?
Qiujunlin sought help in vain, withdrew his gaze, gritted his teeth, and defended himself against the scolding: "General Lu, when I took over this project, I was told that the company's qualifications were highly recognized by you at that time..."
After a week, she managed to avoid being fired by making Lu Jiming scold her while pointing at her nose.
Lù Jìmíng directly instructed her, "I heard that the Tang family is all hospitalized at the Xiehe Hospital. Find some time to go there and see how badly Mr. Tang, his wife, and son are injured."
Just two days away from receiving the quarterly bonus, but the secretary said not to persist any longer...
Before entering the meeting room, Lu Jiming suddenly stopped and turned around, fiercely saying to Ning Meng, "Quickly learn it! Otherwise, I'll fire you!"
But she actually doesn't want to be a mascot. Her original intention has never changed. She just wants to work on projects and become an excellent gold medal investor in the future.
It's time to make up your mind. If you don't make a decision soon, she will almost become a laughingstock in You Qi's eyes.
At times, Ning Meng self-deprecatingly thinks, if she didn't dress herself up as an old-fashioned and unremarkable person, everyone might have thought she had conquered Lu Jiming with her body.
... ... Also ... ... not quite working ... ...
Lù jì míng zǒu dé fēi kuài, tuǐ yòu cháng, níng méng zhuī chūqù de shíhòu bù dé bù pǎobù qiánjìn. Ér tā chuān de shì zhíyè zhǎi qún, bùzi hěn nán mǎi dà, zhǐhǎo zài qǐbù qián niēzhe qúnzi liǎng biān bù dòngshēngdì wǎng shàng tíle tí.
Ning Meng lowered her head and adjusted her glasses, concealing the glimmer of intelligence that flashed in her eyes.
She made Lu Jiming remember her name in just three days.
Qiu Junlin carefully resigned: "The chairman of the company encountered a difficult situation. The whole family was in a car accident while traveling together. He and his wife are fine and were discharged from the ICU after a week. But their son is still lying in the ICU until now... Their family situation is quite miserable, so Mr. Lu, should we... make some concessions?"
Lù jì míng zhàn dìng zài huì yì shàng mén kǒu bù yuǎn chù, wāi tóu kàn xiàng níng méng. Tā nà shuāng zhē zài nóng mì shì máo lǐ de yǎn jīng yòu kāi shǐ bù zì zhī de sì tiáo dòu sì diào qíng de zuò suì le.
However, she has been trapped in the secretary's big pit and cannot climb out. The main reason is that many people are filling the pit with soil, hoping to bury her at the bottom of the pit.
Ning Meng gritted her teeth and resisted the urge to roll her eyes. ... She was truly innocent but covered in blood.
Lu Jiming slammed the table and questioned, "Are you telling me that I can't get my money back? Is that so?!"
At that time, Liu Yitian said to Ning Meng with sincerity, "Xiao Ning, this is a rare opportunity. Have you ever seen a new employee in the workplace who has the chance to work with the top boss from the first day? So, Xiao Ning, work hard!"
Qiu Junlin looked at her as she came out, turned back and took a few steps closer, and said with a somewhat strange tone, "Ning Meng, is it because I haven't been here for a long time that you don't like to see me? How come I heard that you help others solve their problems, but when it comes to me, you just stand by and do nothing!"
Qiujunlin chuckled, with a strange and ambiguous tone, "So should I thank you?" After speaking, he stopped smiling, turned around with a straight face, and walked away.
Qi Junlin trembled and answered with a forced tone, "From what I can see currently, yes, yes..."
Ning Meng sighed comfortably.
Ning Meng: "..."
Lu Jiming gave Yin Sen a sneer and said, "Take back that fake expression! Don't pretend you don't know anything! I've been forced to cover the losses with my own money. I've spent a lot of money and can't even find someone to vent my anger on?!"
Ningmeng rolled her eyes in her heart.
Without leaving a trace, Ningmeng shifted her gaze away from those eyes, unaffected by the unintentional gaze of the other party: "He made the decision on his own."
Ning Meng let Liu Yitian into the house and then she herself also stepped out.
You Qi also chuckled: "You've been talking about changing positions and working on projects for three years, but aren't you still working as a secretary?"
He told Ning Meng: "You must never change jobs or switch positions. Without you as the town's guardian against evil spirits, the company will be tormented by the crazy CEO Lu and a large number of people will suffer!"
Lu Jiming turned his head and shouted at her impatiently, "Who I see first, do I have to listen to your command?" After taking a breath, he changed the subject and said, "Why are you standing there? Go call someone in!"
This boss who suffers from a serious case of bossism, seems like his bossism has worsened again.
Tomorrow! If Lujing's mood is still good tomorrow, be sure to find an opportunity to have a clear conversation with him!
