Chapter 10 Why

The next day, Serena was the first one to arrive at the company. Last night's experience made her too sleepy, so she might as well rush to work and earn some money. Before Elliot arrived, she just made a cup of coffee and started a new day of hard work .

The second person to arrive was Chen Xiaoyu. She took the initiative to step forward and greeted everyone. Her voice was sweet as if she had forgotten the unpleasantness of yesterday. Being able to move on from the past quickly is a necessary quality for people in the workplace.

Serena nodded and said, "How familiar are you with yesterday's information?"

Chen Xiaoyu apologized, "I only looked through the catalog once before being dragged out by James...Mr. Forrest for a social event. Sorry, Sister Serena."

"It's okay. Mr. Forrest's matter is the most important. You've done a great job. Come, your workstation has been arranged."

Serena took the person to a workstation far away from Lao Zhao's office. This workstation was known as the auspicious location for feng shui in the secretariat. It was near the window and against the wall, with no one in front but green plants. The air was fresh, quiet and comfortable.

The previous colleague who sat here got promoted, got a raise, bought a house and got married within a year. He was so lucky that even the abbot of the temple had to praise him for his luck .

Xiao He applied several times to move here but was rejected by Lao Zhao. Everyone thought that Lao Zhao wanted to leave it to his relatives, but now, Serena has arranged for him to be given to Chen Xiaoyu.

Therefore, Xiao He was furious when he arrived.

"Sister Serena, you are such a sucker! You can't just flatter me just because she is the future boss lady!"

Sister Serena was typing away on the keyboard, not bothering to lift her eyelids. "If you don't flatter the future boss lady, who else do you want to flatter?"

Elliot agreed. "That's right ! I just made a cup of coffee and sent it over. Xiao He, you should learn from me."

The entire company knew about Chen Xiaoyu's identity as the future boss's wife on the second day after she started working. The secretariat became bustling with activity, and even the public relations department, which had always been at odds with them, sent people to express their greetings.

Serena was well prepared and arranged almost no work for today so that Chen Xiaoyu would have plenty of time to accept the compliments. Every failure is a learning experience. If you can't afford to offend someone, you can always support him. The prince will be comfortable and the tutor will be safe.

As she wished, Chen Xiaoyu spent the whole morning in great joy and laughter. When it was almost time for lunch, James came in person.

The busy secretarial department instantly fell silent, waiting for his instructions. However, he only looked at the auspicious Feng Shui location and asked with concern, "Xiaoyu, how do you feel today?"

Everyone understood instantly that they were here to show off their affection .

Chen Xiaoyu lowered her head and said, "It's fine..." She quickly glanced at Serena and suddenly changed her words, "Very good! Mr. Forrest, why are you here?"

Mr. Forrest also glanced at Serena and said , " I'm here to remind you to take a lunch break. Don't work so hard that you forget to eat."

As soon as the voice fell, Xiao He couldn't help but let out a strange sound, and Chen Xiaoyu's face turned even redder. She said in a soft voice, "It's not that hard for me!"

After saying that, she quickly moved to James, took his arm and said, "Mr. Forrest, let's go! Let's go eat!"

After the two left, Xiao He sighed, "The domineering president's literature shines into reality, comrades!"

The comrades were all preoccupied with their own thoughts and didn't interact with her much. Only Elliot asked curiously, "By the way, did you notice that Mr. Forrest's lip was broken?"

"I noticed it too!" a colleague responded, "It's quite obvious."

Xiao He clapped his hands, "Who wouldn't notice this? Sister Serena also had a chapped lip a few days ago. Mr. Forrest looks a lot like her."

As soon as the words came out, several eyes were directed at her, and Serena's mouthful of coffee got stuck in her throat.

The atmosphere became subtle.

"Xiao He!"

"cough!"

Serena's shout and Chen Xiaoyu's cough sounded almost at the same time, so everyone's eyes turned to the door again.

The future lady boss who had already left came back at some point, and even Xiao He was so scared that his face turned pale.

Chen Xiaoyu was silent for two seconds before she timidly looked at Serena, "Sister Serena, Mr. Forrest asked me to tell you to go to his office after lunch break. He has something to arrange."

Serena hurried over and said, "Okay, just send a WeChat message. Why bother asking you to come all the way here?" She paused and said, "Don't listen to their jokes. I had blisters on my mouth the other day because of inflammation."

Elliot agreed, "Yeah, yeah, we were just kidding!"

Chen Xiaoyu nodded rather aggrievedly, "Well, I'll leave first then."

"Go ahead, eat and drink well."

Serena sent the person away with a smile on her face, turned around and frowned.

The office was silent. Xiao He lowered his head and acted like a coward, but Serena still picked him up and criticized him.

"Miss He, I think I've been pretty good to you, but please help me and don't cause me any trouble. How can a lowly office worker like me be put together with the group's president? Can you please think before you speak?!"

Xiao He covered his mouth and shook his head, feeling aggrieved. "Sister Serena, I just spoke hastily. Who could have thought that she would come back?"

"You shouldn't even say whether she will come back or not!"

"Oh, I get it! I won't say it again next time!"

Xiao He raised his finger and swore, and Serena could only pray that Chen Xiaoyu didn't take it seriously.

She did not go out during lunch break. The reports given by Manager Wang were messy and complicated, and it was extremely difficult to organize them. She was so busy that she had no time to eat. It was not until Lao Zhao passed by and knocked on her desk that she remembered that the lunch break was over and she had to meet James.

The president's office is on the top floor. There are only three rooms on the huge top floor, and he sits in the middle one.

Serena noticed the problem as soon as she stepped in: the president's chair was facing the door, which gave her a very oppressive feeling.

She nodded towards the chair. "Mr. Forrest, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Mr. Forrest then slowly turned around, wearing a neatly ironed white shirt, a dark black tie, expensive gold-rimmed glasses and a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist. It was the standard outfit for a superior, but on James it was not only exquisite but also had a sense of exuberance that was trying to be concealed. That was his natural aura, and clothes could not take it away.

James looked at it for a moment before saying, "Thank you, Secretary. Please take a seat."

They asked us to sit down, but there was no chair at the table. Serena didn't mind and she dragged a chair over and sat down.

James spoke before she even sat down, "How did Chen Xiaoyu perform?"

Serena smiled and said, "Ms. Chen performed very well. Her colleagues all admire her."

"Oh." James nodded. "If you admire him so much, why did you send him to the frontier?"

"I don't understand what Mr. Forrest means."

"The workstation you assigned her is so remote, isn't it clearly isolating her? And there's so much sunlight there, it's not good for her skin either."

Serena laughed out of anger, she really was flattering the wrong person. If the first half of the sentence was James's petty intentions, the second half was most likely Chen Xiaoyu complaining again.

Chen Xiaoyu had probably heard so much about Feng Shui auspicious locations from her colleagues throughout the entire morning that her ears were probably callused. However, she turned out to be very good at thinking in reverse.

Serena kept smiling. "Mr. Forrest, you may not know that this seat is a very good seat in the secretarial department. It also has a good meaning. I hope Miss Chen will have a successful career."

James denied, "Not like that."

Unlike you , a ghost, Serena's smile froze and she apologized sincerely, "That may be my inconsiderateness. I will adjust it later."

James deadpanned, "Xiaoyu likes your position."

Serena's workstation is not ideal. It faces Lao Zhao's office and Lao Zhao sees her the first thing he does when he goes out. It is the feng shui of hell. It is hard to understand why Chen Xiaoyu would like this position.

Perhaps this is the ideological gap between the future boss lady and the employees.

Serena had no reason to refuse, so she said, "Okay, we'll change right away!"

In view of her good attitude, James's grim expression eased a little. He said, "Besides this, there is one more thing you should know."

"You say."

"You don't have to follow Manager Wang's project from today on. I'm handing it over to someone else."

Serena was stunned and looked up suddenly, "Why?!"
