Secretary Chen has a Headache Again Today!!! - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 – The New Intern
“What are you even reporting?”
Bang!
A file was slammed onto the table.
The marketing director stood like a minion, the exquisite PPT projected on the large screen behind him reflected on his embarrassed face.
“We are a technology company, not a media company. Why are you inviting an unknown celebrity who can’t even read a single word to a product launch? If you want an internet celebrity, become one yourself! It will save costs at least!”
There was deathly silence in the conference room.
Lian Xufeng leaned back in his chair with his long legs crossed, and his dissatisfied gaze swept from the marketing director’s face to all the management attending the meeting.
Everyone looked at each other, and stayed silent.
It was the second iron rule of Weiming :
【Anyone who dares to speak when President Lian is angry will be risking theirlife.】
As the CEO of Weiming, Lian Xufeng has extremely high demands and is merciless when scolding people. He could easily scold these respected big names in the circle and make them look insignificant.
The atmosphere was deadlocked for a moment.
Chen Xun, who was sitting next to Lian Xufeng, lowered his head and sent a message to Wu Tingmiao on the center console, and Wu Tingmiao cut off the PPT.
“Boss Lian.” Chen Xun whispered to Lian Xufeng beside him, “The next agenda is from the R&D department. Engineer He is in the final stage of R&D testing, and the deputy director will present the report.”
“Okay.” Lian Xufeng waved his hand, and the marketing director returned to his seat as if he had been pardoned. He gave Chen Xun a grateful look.
The man at the top restrained his expression and scanned the people present with sharp eyes, “Quick and decisive. Don’t bother talking nonsense in front of me!”
The meeting continued, Chen Xun sat next to Lian Xufeng and opened WeChat silently.
【Chen Xun: What’s going on? Didn’t we send out an email last time asking the marketing department to revise the plan?】
【Wu Tingmiao: They didn’t take it seriously.】
【Wu Tingmiao: Don’t think that he was crying last time because of Mr. Lian’s scolding. Last month, they hired an operator from an MNC company as their assistant. They didn’t listen to our opinions~】
【New Assistant?】
Chen Xun was puzzled and continued typing.
【Chen Xun: Why didn’t I get to see the email about the personnel changes?】
【Wu Tingmiao: It was an internal recommendation. A direct promotion channel because he is the director’s nephew.】
Chen Xun’s face slowly darkened.
Weiming doesn’t accept just any junk. There are countless MNC companies in the market, and most of them only have a superficial understanding of the industry and pretend to be experts to cheat others. The marketing director is also a veteran in the field, so how could he have not seen this problem?
What’s more, this is Weiming, the Nation’s leading Tech company wholly owned by the Lian family, not the marketing director’s family, where he can just bring in anyone he wants…
The meeting continued, and thankfully, there weren’t many mistakes. Lian Xufeng’s frown gradually relaxed.
The last person to speak was the Director of the User Experience Department. At the end, she looked at Chen Xun with a smile and said, “User experience has always been a top priority for Weiming. Our department became independent from the Product Department just last year. We were able to achieve this result thanks to Secretary Chen’s help.”
The User Experience Department was previously the User Experience Group under the Product Department. Last year, with the strong support of Lian Xufeng and Chen Xun, this group was upgraded to an independent department against all odds. In order to get the User Experience Department up and running as soon as possible, Chen Xun had helped a lot.
Lian Xufeng nodded with satisfaction, “Everyone can see Secretary Chen’s efforts.”
He glanced at Chen Xun’s submissive face, the reflection of his long eyelashes spread under his eyes, like a quiet and beautiful Chinese landscape painting. He looked as if all the compliments had nothing to do with him.
“But, don’t overwork him.” Lian Xufeng leaned back in his office chair. “Secretary Chen is my secretary. If he gets sick from overworking, who will take him to the hospital? Who will assist me with my work?”
Everyone looked towards Chen Xun at the same time——
The young man straightened his back and sat beside Lian Xufeng with a serious expression. His thin figure looked a little haggard and his face seemed a little pale.
If Lian Xufeng had praised other employees like that, perhaps the management would still have some doubts and jealousy.
But since it was Chen Xun who was praised, all the jealousy was extinguished.
Chen Xun, an Omega who should have been pampered, has better working ability than any Alpha or Beta of Wei Ming.
Although he majored in literature, he was able to master the work of all departments within just one year after joining the company, and he also handled Lian Xufeng’s private life in an orderly manner. Everyone secretly believed that Weiming’s latest generation of artificial intelligence robots was designed based on Chen Xun.
In just a few seconds, the conference room erupted in heartfelt praise.
“Mr. Lian is right. Secretary Chen has made great contributions.”
“Yes, yes, yes. We only seek help from Secretary Chen when we are really desperate.”
“Secretary Chen is a nice person, willing to help with anything, but he needs to take care of his health.”
Chen Xun resisted the urge to look up and managed to curl his lips, “Thank you for all your concern. But this is what I should do.”
He turned to look at Lian Xufeng, his bright eyes turning slightly.
Lian Xufeng immediately understood and stood up and said, “Today’s meeting ends here. We will arrange rectification and implementation as required.”
Eagle eyes swept across the marketing director who was trying to curl himself up, “Those who need to reflect on themselves, go back and hold a review meeting!”
“The meeting is adjourned!”
=•°•=•°•=
“At 2 pm, the product department will test new products. At 3:30 pm, Yixing Technology will come to the company to observe and learn. At 5 pm, we will take a one-hour break. At 6 pm, we will leave for the business association’s cocktail party. We will arrive at about 6:30pm and leave before 9 pm.”
Chen Xun followed Lian Xufeng to sort out the day’s schedule.
Weiming is the industry leader, and as its president, Lian Xufeng’s work intensity is even higher, with almost every hour scheduled for workleaving him no time to breathe.
Fortunately, he is an Alpha, with plenty of energy and vigor. He is busy until late at night every day, and wakes up full of energy after a good sleep. Chen Xun is a little envious.
“You decide on the arrangements.”
Without waiting for Chen Xun to come forward, Lian Xufeng pressed the elevator button himself.
He might still put on airs as a CEO when talking to others, but when he is talking to Chen Xun, Lian Xufeng was used to doing things for him.
Chen Xun is an Omega, and Lian Xufeng is not as shameless as those people in the company. How could he let Chen Xun do everything?
The two walked into the elevator, and Lian Xufeng took the diary from Chen Xun’s hand and crossed out a few entries for him.
“Mr. Lian!” Chen Xun was angry and reached out to snatch back his notebook.
Lian Xufeng raised his hand with a smile, opened his daily schedule and shook it at him, “You can’t do any work after 5:30 in the afternoon.”
“That’s the overseas business department’s business.” Chen Xun stood on tiptoe to grab Lian Xufeng’s hand.
“That’s not allowed either.” Lian Xufeng took a step back and stretched out his arm to prevent Chen Xun from reaching the notebook. “Secretary Chen, I want to lodge a solemn protest against you. You are the leader in violating the labor laws by not taking a break after getting off work.”
“Mr. Lian…” Chen Xun was speechless and had to move forward one step at a time.
The damn Alpha was 1.95 meters tall. Although Chen Xun was a male, due to his Omega physique, he was only 1.78 meters tall and was severely suppressed by Lian Xufeng’s tall frame.
“Whatever!”
Just as the elevator door was about to close, two hurried figures suddenly broke into their ‘battle for the schedule book’.
Chen Xun was startled and tripped over Lian Xufeng’s leather shoes, falling into the man’s arms.
“Hmm!”
The hard chest muscles firmly caught Chen Xun.
Lian Xufeng dropped the diary and pinched Chen Xun’s chin anxiously, “Did you bite your tongue? Let me take a look…”
The slightly calloused fingertips brushed against Chen Xun’s delicate skin. The young Omega clenched his teeth,trembling and struggling to break free from the Alpha’s shackles.
“I’m fine.”
Chen Xun took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.
Just as he was about to bend down to pick up his diary, Lian Xufeng took the lead to pick it up for him, dusted off the book and handed it back to Chen Xun.
Chen Xun took the notebook and looked calmly at the two people who had innocently intruded them.
Wu Tingmiao winked at Chen Xun cautiously.
Chen Xun and Lian Xufeng have a good relationship, which is known to everyone in Weiming. However, it was still rare to have the opportunity to witness it with one’s own eyes…
Lian Xufeng watched Chen Xun and Wu Tingmiao exchange glances in silence.
‘How come these two have such a good relationship? Chen Xun never makes such eyes towards me!’
“Secretary Chen…”
A timid voice sounded from behind Wu Tingmiao.
Chen Xun looked at the man and said with a smile: “It’s you. How’s your first day at work going?”
Here comes another one…
Lian Xufeng looked coldly at the young man behind Wu Tingmiao.
The handsome young man stepped forward with surprise in his eyes and took out a transparent biscuit packet from his canvas bag.
“I, I’m fine. Mr. Wu took good care of me.” The young man handed over a packet of cookies. “These are the biscuits I made on my own. If you don’t mind…”
“You can actually make cookies. You are so skillful.” Chen Xun smiled gently and took the small packet of cookies from the young man’s hand. “Thank you~”
“Uh-huh!”
The abrupt sound disrupted the harmonious atmosphere.
Several people turned to look at Lian Xufeng, and the young man greeted him nervously: “Hello, Mr. Lian, I am the newcomer Chen Yan.”
Lian Xufeng’s brows immediately frowned.
“Mr. Lian, this is Chen Yan, a new intern in our president’s office. He is currently assisting Wu Tingmiao in liaising with matters related to the product department.” Chen Xun immediately took over and briefly introduced Chen Yan’s position and responsibilities to Lian Xufeng.
Chen Yan, who was standing aside, realized that he had just briefly introduced his name. To Lian Xufeng, the name of a small employee was completely meaningless.
The man’s tangled brows still did not relax.
Chen Xun was also a little surprised. He found that Lian Xufeng was staring at Chen Yan closely. Suddenly, his heart began to beat uncontrollably.
Although Chen Yan is thin, he has fair skin, soft black hair, and a very beautiful face according to Omega standards. Although he is a little introverted and shy, he is gentle and calm with a good personality.
Standing together with Lian Xufeng, they seem like the most common AO couple in today’s society.
Chen Xun bit his lower lip silently.
He had no jealousy, no regrets, just a little sadness.
He could stand beside Lian Xufeng as a secretary, but he could never be on par with him as a lover.
“Secretary Chen.” After a long while, Lian Xufeng finally retracted his gaze and looked into Chen Xun’s flashing eyes. “Your last name is Chen, and his last name is also Chen. So if I call him Secretary Chen from now on, what should I call you then?”
Lian Xufeng was unhappy, and the corner of his mouth was almost crooked to his chin.
‘This guy doesn’t look that great, he’s very timid, how couldhe be compared to Chen Xun?’
But the new secretary’s last name is Chen, and Chen Xun doesn’t allow him to call him Xunxun in front of others, always saying “please address me by my work title.” But now he has to even share the title of “Secretary Chen” with others. What’s the big deal?!
Chen Xun was stunned.
He thought Lian Xufeng was going to say something, but it turned out to be just a question of address?
“Just call him Xiao Chen.” Wu Tingmiao spoke at the right time to ease the awkwardness, and smiled as he nudged Chen Yan with his elbow, “Right, Xiao Chen?”
Chen Yan was stunned for a while, then he nodded slowly and showed an ugly smile, “Yes, you can just call me Xiao Chen.”
“Yehh.”
The elevator arrived, and Chen Yan was about to escape from this suffocating space when Chen Xun called him, “Chen Yan!”
“Thank you for the cookies.” Chen Xun took out a cookie, bit off half, and shook the remaining half at Chen Yan.
The young man turned around suddenly and saw Chen Xun’s smiling face, and his heart suddenly felt warmer.
“Secretary Chen, you are so nice~”
Everyone had left, but Chen Yan was still standing in front of the elevator, overwhelmed by Chen Xun’s personal charm.
Wu Tingmiao agreed with a smile: “That’s right, Chen Xun is the general secretary of our Weiming.”
“You have to know that Weiming has no general manager, no general assistant, only a general secretary.” Wu Tingmiao winked at Chen Yan, “The first iron rule of Weiming people is to offend anyone but Secretary Chen, do you understand?”
Chen Yan was a little confused. “Does this ‘anyone’ include even the president?”
Wu Tingmiao restrained his expression and agreed with absolute certainty: “Of course.”
