Zi Yun sat on the couch opposite to them.
"Guys you need to get a life and stop bothering me. I returned home only before an hour after working hard a whole day and now I have to deal with you guys. Don't you feel any pity for me?" Li Zi Yun continued rambling.
"Will you stop talking for a minute Zi Yun?" Li Shu threw the pillow aiming her.
Zi Yun continued "Seriously I don't understand why would the son of the President of the country and the daughter of a millionaire come here and bother me often in my small home"
"Simple that is because we love you" replied Wu Li Shu smiling at her sweetly. "Oh Stop it" she threw the pillow back at her.
Chu Yan turned towards her and asked "Then why don't you explain to me why the daughter of a millionaire would be living in such a small apartment and working her ass off in some other company?"
"Because unlike you, Chu Yan, I have to earn my own living. So better stop irritating me now"
Before she could continue lashing her phone rang. Li Shu passed her phone to her.
After saying Hello, only the sounds hmm and okay followed until she hanged the call and sat there still with a blank expression after hanging up. They were curious to know who it was.
She looked at them and asked, "Do you think it's an easy task to become the Personal Secretary of Wang Yu?"
"Nope he's too picky" both Chu Yan and Li Shu were sure of this.
"Then is it even possible that he would select someone who has been in the company for only 3 months?"
"No he won't! Wait! Don't tell me you're his PA now!"
Chu Yan and Wu Li Shu had both known Wang Yu ever since they were children. Chu Yan's mother and Wang Yu's mothers were childhood friends and he had seen him ever since. Wu Li Shu's elder brother is Wang Yu's longtime friend. So she also was quite aware about him.
Chu Yan was thinking seriously about it. The only way this could happen was if Zi Yun had caught Wang Yu's attention somehow. She was selected either because he likes her or she was on the wrong page of his book. The Wang Yu he knew would never select someone so inexperienced in an important position. He was a bit concerned about her now.
Li Zi Yun was pretty tall at 173 cm with a thin waistline and she was more on the pretty side than cute side. The wavy waist length hair was an added feature. Though she had a great body and a pretty face, she always wore clothes that did not highlight her body structure and preferred having a plain look.
"Hello!" she snapped her fingers in front of Chu Yan trying to gain his attention. "Stop zoning out, what are you thinking about?"
He faced her and asked her in a serious tone "Have you crossed paths with him anytime?"
Li Zi Yun answered him coolly" Ya I slept with him once any problem?"
"Hey I am being serious here. Tell me "
"Ok I haven't slept with him. Happy?"
Chu Yan was losing his patience" Zi Yun stop joking"
Li Shu threw the pillow at him" Relax. Stop being so serious. She has only been promoted in her job. Why do you make such a big fuss about it? And please order something to eat, I am dying of hunger"
"Zi Yun"
"What?"
"Be careful around him"
"Guys stop your drama I'm hungry"
"Hmm" Zi Yun did not put much thought into it and ordered food for them.
They had dinner in Zi Yun's place and Chu Yan left the place after sometime while Li Shu was adamant to leave saying she was tired and she is not get ready to move her body and chose to sleep there.
Zi Yun also slept wondering what the next day had in hold for her.
In the morning as she was about to enter the office she was stopped by Meng Sen Xi, her colleague and desk mate.
"Li Zi Yun, stop right there. How can you be so cruel to leave me alone and move up to the fiftieth floor"
"Then maybe I should tell him I won't accept the position because my colleague will miss me"
"Wait! I am just a colleague to you?"
"Then are you my boyfriend?"
"You want to say it out loud?"
"No thank you. And FYI you're not my boyfriend"
Meng Sen Xi looked at her eyes carefully and suddenly asked her "Have you ever crossed paths with him?"
"Who?"
"Our CEO Wang"
"Nope… never. Why?"
"Otherwise why would he select you?"
Li Zi Yun couldn't understand why people kept asking this same question to her. "Am I really that untalented in everyone's eyes? why does everyone ask me this?" she asked him.
"Who asked you?"
"Never mind! See you at lunch. Bye"
After Li Zi Yun left, Meng Sen Xi made a call "Find out how is Zi Yun related to Wang Yu"
Liu Guang, Wang Yu's assistant was waiting for her.
As soon as she arrived he gave her the contract. "Ms.Li Zi Yun here is your contract and after you sign you can start right away as the Personal Secretary of our CEO"
"But why do I need to sign a new contract? I already have a contract with the company!" she was looking at the contract as she spoke.
"This is a contract with confidentiality agreement which you have to agree since you will come across lots of confidential document and it binds you to the company for the next two years"
He continued, "I think it's better if you hurry, boss is waiting for you"
"Ok let's go then"
The fiftieth floor in the company building had the CEO's office and she had never been to the fiftieth floor before.
When the elevator opened she found a table with her name plate on it opposite to the CEO's room.
Liu Guang took her to the CEO's room and the door slided open. Wang Yu was standing by the floor to ceiling window with his back facing the door, viewing the city. He was trying to compose his face to not show his hatred when he sees her.
When Wang Yu turned around he had gotten a hold over himself and his face revealed no emotions. He looked at Zi Yun straight in her eyes, as if trying to read her mind.
Li Zi Yun felt like her boss's gaze was trying to penetrate her soul, she was starting to get a bit nervous. She started getting that uncomfortable feeling in the pit of her stomach. She started to worry if she had really done something bad that is why she was brought here and felt like a bad student being called to the principal's office. Her mind was racing through different thoughts, nothing optimistic.
Wang Yu was looking at the different reactions in her face, mostly her face revealed confusion. Liu Guang couldn't take the staring contest any longer.
He introduced her, "Boss, this is your personal secretary, Li Zi Yun"
"Hmmm" those were the only words he could say before turning around again with his back facing them. He had to control himself from strangling her; he couldn't bear to see her face. Now he was more than sure it was she who did that seven years ago.
She was thinking in her mind 'Just to spit out this 'hmm' did he have a staring contest with her'.
Liu Guang had never seen his boss react like this. For all he knows she may have been his ex girlfriend who broke up with him for no particular reason or a mortal enemy.
After they left the room he asked her, curious about the boss's reaction, "If you don't mind can you tell me if you have met our boss before personally?"
'Here we go again.' She couldn't understand why everyone was so fixated on this question.
She put on a smile knowing that she has to be polite to him, she answered, "No this is my first time meeting him."
Her face told him that she was telling the truth. He asked his assistant to get her familiar with this place, and he left after she signed the contract still curious about what happened earlier.
The only plus point of getting this position for Zi Yun was, she could use the separate elevator instead of being crushed with the others.
