Secretary Chen has a Headache Again Today!!! - Chapter 10

Chapter 10 – Orange Flavoured Pheromones

Chen Xun thought that Lian Xufeng would probably never discover his secret love for him.

‘After all, this guy even said he wanted to find a partner for me, so how could he ever realise my feelings for him?’

‘Forget it. I don’t hope Lian Xufeng will understand it anyway.’

As the night deepened, Chen Xun leaned on the balcony handrail, gathered his thin flannel blanket around him, and ended a call with a colleague from the Overseas Business Department.

The step of expanding business overseas was a bit hasty, but fortunately Wei Ming had a solid foundation, and many things were within his and Lian Xufeng’s expectations.

He walked over to the bed, his silk pajamas sticking to his skin, revealing the deep outline of his collarbone.

There was a glass of milk next to the bed, which Lian Xufeng had “ordered” him to drink before going to bed.

Lian Xufeng likes to drink milk before going to bed. When he heard Chen Xun mention that he recently had trouble sleeping, he insisted that Chen Xun drink milk with him.

Chen Xun looked at the glass of milk and laughed, then gulped it down into his mouth.

He was afraid that the glass would attract bugs if he left it in the room, so he went downstairs and put it in the dishwasher in the kitchen.

When passing by the study on the second floor, a faint light seeped out from the crack in the door.

Chen Xun tilted his head in confusion and looked. Beyond the half-closed door, Lian Xufeng was staring at a document with a frown on his face.

Chen Xun had good eyesight and saw the cover of the document at a glance——

It was not an ordinary document, but a test report from the hospital.

Four large characters were faintly visible on the yellowed report: “Match Results”.

Chen Xun’s heart suddenly tightened.

It was the compatibility report between him and Lian Xufeng, which was marked with a pitiful figure of one percent.

He was puzzled, so he simply knocked on the door and looked into Lian Xufeng’s nervous eyes, “W–why haven’t you slept yet?”

“Aren’t you the same?” Chen Xun walked in and pressed the cover of the test report just before Lian Xufeng put away the report.

Lian Xufeng had no idea what to do with Chen Xun, so he just let Chen Xun pick it up and have a look.

Chen Xun flipped through two pages and found out that it was indeed the compatibility report between him and Lian Xufeng.

“Why were you looking at this?”

Lian Xufeng raised his eyebrows, took the report away and stuffed it into the bottom drawer of the desk.

“It just fell out, so I just took a look.”

Chen Xun did not ask how the report placed at the bottom of the drawer fell out, nor did he ask why Lian Xufeng was staring at the report in a daze.

He paused, and in the expectant eyes of Lian Xufeng, he smiled and said, “The new contract has been negotiated. It will be sent to the Legal Department for review tomorrow. If there is no problem, we will prepare for the signing ceremony.”

“Hire a local translator, or a professor of the language.” Lian Xufeng nodded. “After all, this is not an English-speaking country. They use a lot of slang there. If there are any problems in the contract, we won’t be able to see them.”

“Okay.” Chen Xun directly searched for the relevant contact person on his mobile phone, but before he could send a message to the other party, Lian Xufeng stood in front of him.

Lian Xufeng held Chen Xun’s shoulders and put half of his weight on Chen Xun. “You still want to work this late at night? Did you secretly call the overseas business department just now?”

Chen Xun let out a guilt-ridden “ha!” He couldn’t move, nor could he hide.

“I’ll have a video conference with them later, you can rest first.”

Lian Xufeng looked down and saw Chen Xun’s skin vaguely visible in his baggy pajamas. He suddenly took a step back, “You… you go to bed!”

“I know.”

Chen Xun couldn’t convince him, and since he had been very tired in recent days, he agreed and walked slowly towards the room.

Lian Xufeng watched Chen Xun go up to the third floor, opened the door, and waited for the door to slowly close before he hurried back to the study, opened the drawer again, and took out the compatibility report.

The report certainly didn’t fall out by accident.

Lian Xufeng took it out specially.

After dinner, he kept thinking hard about what kind of person Chen Xun’s spouse should be.

He knew quite a few people, but when he thought about each one carefully, one had some problems, the other was not perfect enough, and after all the calculations, he realised that none of them was worthy of Chen Xun.

But what about himself?

The moonlight shined brightly that night , but Lian Xufeng was not in a very cheerful mood.

The one percent on the report reminded him that he was the least worthy.

•=•=•

The new contract for the Overseas Business Department was successfully negotiated, and Wei Ming successfully won another international contract. The whole company was filled with joy.

Of course, in addition to that, the fact that General Manager Lian and Secretary Chen have reconciled was also one of the reasons why everyone was smiling so happily.

Wu Tingmiao and Chen Yan were preparing for the team-building.

There were more than 500 people in the company, not including branches and offices in other provinces and cities. It would be very tiring to arrange these people.

Fortunately, the administrative department and the logistics department also participated in it, and Wu Tingmiao brought in a little apprentice, so the preparations for the team-building activity were actually faster than in previous years.

Chen Xun moved his workstation back to the president’s office and only visited the office occasionally.

As soon as he arrived at the president’s office, Chen Yan came up to him with a troubled look on his face.

“Secretary Chen, we have already found a place for the team building activity, but we have not yet decided on the activities. The administrative department and the logistics department both think that empowerment games are fun, but Brother Wu said that they were used to playing those games and playing them again and again would make them less effective. Plus, there is no element of creativity in those games. What do you think about it?”

Chen Xun glanced through his phone. There was still a month before the team building activity. Wu Tingmiao was quick enough this time.

He glanced at Chen Yan approvingly and said, “Well done.”

Chen Yan was flattered. “I didn’t dare to say anything. It was Brother Wu and the administrative and logistics departments who took me along.”

“It takes more than half a month every year just to choose a location. I heard from Wu Tingmiao that it was you who suggested going to the sea and recommended a newly opened sea view resort with complete facilities since it’s short of tourists.”

For Weiming’s team building activity, there were always too many people and the trip itself would be huge, and the entire hotel would have to be booked. If the scenic area and the hotel are too far away, transportation would be inconvenient and going back and forth would also be tiring. The Seaview Resort had complete facilities and equipment, the beach was right next to the hotel, and there was a large water park and shopping area. It was the most suitable choice.

Chen Xun had thought about this location before, but this type of resort was very popular and reservations would have to be made half a year in advance. In addition, Wei Ming had expanded rapidly in the past few years and the number of members was uncertain, so he gave up.

Chen Yan blushed and scratched his head embarrassedly.

“As for games, my advice is – don’t play them.” Chen Xun lowered his head and searched through the documents.

Chen Yan didn’t quite understand, “Don’t you want to play? Will it be…”

“Unity is not created by playing games.” Chen Xun smiled. “Organizing team building is just to make everyone happier. If I let you and Lian Zong hold hands and play games together, you will probably kill me, right?”

“Well, that’s not the case…” Chen Yan hesitated, thinking that if he had to play games with Mr. Lian, he would rather commit suicide.

Chen Xun patted Chen Yan’s shoulder and told him to relax a little. “Okay, I was just kidding.”

“As for me, I just hope that everyone can rest comfortably for a few days. The sun is so strong, and we still have to play games on the beach. What should the weak do? It’s better to let everyone play by themselves.”

“But in this case, each department should just do its own thing, right?” Chen Yan frowned.

Chen Xun curled his lips and smiled confidently, “No, do you know how many people are needed to play beach volleyball?”

Chen Yan shook his head.

“Do you know how many people can fit on a yacht?”

Chen Yan shook his head.

“Do you know how many people can be accepted for a snorkelling experience class?”

Chen Yan still shook his head.

“Weiming is not short of money. You can ask the resort to start all the activities. Everyone has their own interests, so they will naturally go and play what they like.”

Chen Xun slowly explained to Chen Yan: “This is a rare vacation. The brave ones like to try, and the timid ones like to be alone. It is impossible for a department to be together forever. We are all in the same company. We will see each other every day. If we get together with other departments, we will become familiar with each other quickly.”

Chen Yan suddenly understood.

It turns out that there is no need to force everyone to get together. As long as everyone is put in the same place, the connections between departments will be strengthened.

As expected, it’s again Secretary Chen with a good idea!

“I understand. I’ll go tell Brother Wu and the others right away!” Chen Yan was so surprised that he turned around and ran away.

“Slow down!” Chen Xun looked at Chen Yan’s excited expression and thought, he is indeed a young man.

Even the pheromones on Chen Yan’s body smelled good, a light orange scent, fresh and not greasy.

“Knock, knock.”

“Mr. Lian, all the documents about Class A new energy are here.”

Chen Xun placed the documents on Lian Xufeng’s desk.

Lian Xufeng didn’t even raise his head, “Eat first.”

As usual, there were two paper bags on the desk.

But today there was no coffee or panini, but green bean soup cooked by Lian Xufeng and sandwiches made by Chen Xun in the morning.

“Didn’t Uncle Zhong ask you why you brought breakfast?”

Lian Xufeng took a bite of the sandwich, which was thick with eggs and bacon, lettuce and tomato slices, and a little sweet salad dressing. It was made by Chen Xun, so it was simply a delicacy.

Chen Xun smiled and said, “He asked. I simply said you wanted to eat, and dad asked me to make more.”

Perhaps his father was very pleased with his agreement to the blind date, so Chen Xun occasionally stayed at Lian Xufeng’s place these days, and Uncle Zhong didn’t say anything.

Lian Xufeng was a little surprised, but he was very happy that Zhong Bo did not make things difficult for Chen Xun, so he did not ask any more questions.

He ate his sandwich while sniffing Chen Xun’s shoulder.

Chen Xun dodged doubtfully and looked at Lian Xufeng with confused eyes.

Lian Xufeng wiped his nose awkwardly, “Did you eat oranges this morning? There’s such a strong orange scent.”

“No.” Chen Xun had just answered when his face suddenly froze.

‘Orange flavour?’

‘Was it from him, or from someone else?’

‘No need to think about it.’

Chen Xun knew that the smell Lian Xufeng was talking about was Chen Yan’s pheromone.

Chen Yan’s suppression patch was not the best one on the market, so it still left a faint smell.

But it’s just a little bit.

But this little bit was only for Chen Xun.

Pheromones are directly linked to compatibility.

The higher the compatibility between the AOs, the easier it is for them to smell each other’s pheromones.

Just the little bit of pheromones belonging to Chen Yan on his body was “a huge amount” to Lian Xufeng.

It is understandable just how well they matched each other.

Chen Xun tried his best to keep his expression unchanged.

He curled his lips, swallowed the mung bean soup that Lian Xufeng had carefully prepared with a tasteless taste, and then walked downstairs.

“Where are you going?” Lian Xufeng asked.

“I missed a document. I’m going to get it now.”

Chen Xun didn’t dare to look back. He walked step by step until he left Lian Xufeng’s office and stood at the empty staircase, then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His hands were trembling.

But even so, Chen Xun still called the Human Resources Department –

“It’s me, Chen Xun. Do you have the medical examination reports of Chen Yan from the President’s Office? Send me a copy. Thank you.”
