Chen Sheng led Pei Xin into Li Ze’s office and left.
Li Ze’s office was spacious and was divided into two compartments. One was used for work, and the other was for rest when he was tired.
There was a bed, a washroom, a toilet, and a shower in the lounge.
Li Ze pointed to a table beside him. “1 had someone order this for you. You will be working next to me from now on.”
Pei Xin was a little uneasy. “Should I? This is your office space. If someone wants to talk to you about something important, as your assistant, it won’t be appropriate for me to be there to listen.”
“Don’t worry.” Li Ze smiled. “If it’s a particularly important collaboration, we’ll choose to discuss it in the conference room. My office is usually just a place to handle all my documents. You’re my assistant. Other than helping me with work, you also need to get me tea and coffee.”
Pei Xin agreed.
“Alright then. If you’d like me somewhere else, 1 will adjust to the changes.” Pei Xin said.
Li Ze smiled in satisfaction. He would not give Pei Xin the chance to change her position.
Pei Xin spent the whole morning in the office assisting Li Ze in handling official business.
At first, she thought that Li Ze lived a carefree life, but she had underestimated him.
Li Ze had three business meetings, and each of them lasted thirty minutes.
In between those time slots, five people came to submit a few project designs.
After Li Ze read through each project design, he would hand it over to Pei Xin and let her search for information online to check if these project plans could be implemented.
Pei Xin immediately got to work.
At first, she thought that Li Ze wanted to keep her as a mistress. She was still debating whether she should stay.
Now, she was sure that all those thoughts were her just overthinking about the situation. She felt more at ease knowing that she was actually working instead of playing around.
This busy life made Pei Xin feel very fulfilled and happy — it gave more meaning to her life.
Moreover, through these project proposals, she had gained a lot of new knowledge.
Just as Pei Xin was still searching for important information online, Li Ze reached out and knocked on her desk.
Pei Xin raised her head and met Li Ze’s smiling eyes.
“Let’s go,” Li Ze said. “We’ve been working all day. I’ll take you to dinner.”
“Where?” Pei Xin asked. “I don’t want to eat anything too expensive.”
She did not have a salary yet, so she had to rely on Li Ze for food, clothing, and accommodation.
Even though she knew that Li Ze was loaded, Pei Xin didn’t want to owe him too much.
“You can deduct the money for my meals from my salary later.” Pei Xin added.
Li Ze looked at her with a half-smile. “Pei Xin, are you making fun of me? Since when have I ever split the bill with a woman?”
Pei Xin quickly defended herself. “That’s not what I meant. 1 just don’t want to owe anyone anything anymore. I don’t have the means to repay you.”
When she said this, Pei Xin looked downcast.
“In that case, we can eat at the staff canteen for dinner today,” Li Ze said seriously.
Pei Xin suddenly raised her head, her eyes sparkling. Pei Xin suddenly thought of something and felt a little embarrassed.
“I really want to go to the staff canteen to eat,” Pei Xin said. “But I haven’t adapted to the new changes. I’m afraid I won’t be able to adapt.”
“Didn’t you say you were going to rely on yourself?” Li Ze smiled dotingly. “Then, even if you don’t work here in the future, you’ll still work in other companies and face so many employees. Instead of letting you face so many people alone in the future and feeling embarrassed, why don’t you let me face them with you now?”
Pei Xin’s eyes gradually lit up, it would be nice to have company.
“Alright, then let’s go to the canteen for dinner!” She nodded happily.
When the two of them went down, they took Li Ze’s special elevator.
When Li Ze entered the staff canteen, he immediately attracted the attention of all the staff.
The female employees secretly looked at Li Ze, but they were afraid that Li Ze would find out..
