Capítulo 2: Promotion
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
He had seen this female colleague set up an event venue before. She was bold but meticulous. She was perfect for the job.
He strode over to Chu Yi with a barely perceptible hint of joy on his face.
"Assistant Lin, this is..." Chu Yi asked as he approached, nervously.
"Come with me for a moment." Lin Zuo waved his hand and asked Chu Yi to follow him into the office.
After hearing Lin Zuo's offer, Chu Yi couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked, "What?"
"That's right, Miss Chu, I would like to sincerely offer you a position in our president's office." Lin Zuo clasped his hands together, looking determined to get his way.
At least, he could not think of any reason for Chu Yi to refuse.
"But..." Chu Yi hesitated. She was only here to run errands and didn't expect something like this to happen.
Lin Zuo handed her the contract in front of him. "There's no 'but'. Miss Chu, with your abilities, you are more than capable of fulfilling this job. Moreover, the salary in the president's office is higher than your previous department. Don't you think your skills and personality are more suited to working here?"
He paused and added, "This is also a promotion."
Chu Yi hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed.
Lin Zuo breathed a sigh of relief.
When Chu Yi returned from lunch, all of her belongings had been moved to the president's office, including the potted plant on her desk.
Chu Yi had to admit that Assistant Lin was very efficient. Her new workspace was arranged in the same way as her previous one.
She sat at her desk in peace and greeted her new colleagues warmly, but they all seemed very busy.
Not long after, the legendary CEO arrived.
Chu Yi followed them to the door to welcome the CEO.
The elevator door opened, and a man and a woman stepped out. The man was dressed in a suit and his hair was neatly combed. Everyone bowed slightly and shouted in unison, "Hello, Mr. President."
Chu Yi couldn't help but steal a glance at him, feeling that he looked familiar.
She suppressed her doubts and obediently followed suit.
Chu Yi recognized the person behind the man. It was the boss's chief secretary.
Watching the man leave, Chu Yi raised her head and sized him up. The man had broad shoulders and narrow hips. His legs were straight and long. From his back, she could tell that the boss was a very handsome person.
Was it just an illusion? She felt like she had seen him somewhere before but couldn't remember where.
CEO Song ignored everyone and walked straight into the office.
The woman behind him stopped and asked, "Assistant Lin, have you prepared the candidate for the CEO's secretary?"
"Secretary Wang, don't worry. I've personally selected the people," Lin Zuo replied respectfully.
Wang Lin looked at her watch and said, "Bring the person to the CEO's office in half an hour."
Upon hearing Wang Lin's words, the people in the president's office became excited.
"Is Secretary Wang really leaving? Is the CEO's office going to promote someone to be the CEO's secretary?"
"Didn't they spend so much time preparing for this? My goodness, who will be able to snatch such a good opportunity?"
The CEO was finally going to choose a new secretary, and everyone was eager to try.
Lin Zuo looked at his colleagues who were a little crazy and cleared his throat lightly and said, "Pay attention to the impact, go back to work. Have you finished your work?"
Hearing Lin Zuo's words, the people from the CEO's office left.
Indeed, with CEO Song's return, the "idle days" of the CEO's office were over.
Chu Yi was a little confused. She pulled her colleague Sun Lian and asked, "Doesn't CEO Song already have a secretary? Why does he still need to choose a secretary?"
Sun Lian, seeing that Chu Yi was new, answered without any hesitation, "Wang Lin you saw just now is the chief executive secretary. She has been with CEO Song for many years, but I heard she is going on a honeymoon. That's why he needs to choose a new secretary to replace her."
Chu Yi was still a little confused and asked, "So, another secretary has to be chosen in our CEO's office? What kind of person should we choose?"
At this moment, Liu Sheng, who had been listening to their conversation for a long time, finally couldn't hold back anymore. He said sarcastically, "Not everyone can enter the CEO's office. Unlike some women who force their way in just because they are pretty. Do you think you can become the CEO's secretary? Dream on!"
Chu Yi didn't know why Liu Sheng was so hostile to her, but Sun Lian, who was beside her, pulled her sleeve and shook her head, indicating that she should not lower herself to Liu Sheng's level.
After seeing Liu Sheng leave his workstation, Sun Lian whispered to Chu Yi, "You don't know, but Liu Sheng has been eyeing the CEO's secretary position for a long time. Don't talk to him. Despite being male, he's very scheming. He sees everyone as a competitor, so it's best to ignore him."
Chu Yi nodded silently. She knew that landing a job in the CEO's office was a tremendous opportunity, and the position of CEO's secretary was something she wouldn't even dare to dream about.
Meanwhile, Lin Zuo received new instructions from CEO Song. CEO Song wanted to see all the financial statements from the previous year to this year, performance reports from each department, and the materials prepared in the past three quarters.
Although all the company's data would be summarized in the president's office, Lin Zuo wasn't personally responsible for handling everything.
"Who is in charge of preparing the departmental performance reports, materials, and financial statements for the past two years?" Lin Zuo stood in the center of the office, looking like he was facing a formidable foe.
The staff in the CEO's office exchanged glances, each person being responsible for a different project. When they heard Lin Zuo's question, most shook their heads, indicating that it wasn't their responsibility.
Just as Lin Zuo was about to return to his office to check the distribution records, Chu Yi timidly raised her hand and said, "It's me."
When Lin Zuo saw Chu Yi, he felt like dying. Misfortune never comes singly.
"How could the CEO be so good at picking? And it happens to be the materials that the just resigned intern was supposed to prepare," he thought.
However, it was too late for the others to prepare again, so Chu Yi had no choice but to soldier on.
"Chu Yi, prepare all the materials and report to the CEO's office immediately," Lin Zuo ordered without giving Chu Yi any chance to argue.
All colleagues cast sympathetic glances at Chu Yi, and perhaps this newly transferred little girl would make her last appearance in the CEO's office.
