Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 109

Chapter 109 Let Me Give You a Shoulder Massage
Early in the morning, Little Mei ran to Zhou Ting to apply for resignation. Looking at the tearful girl, Zhou Ting really didn’t know what she could do. She could only try to persuade her kindly, “Little Mei, Boss Shao is actually quite easy to get along with. It’s just that he hasn’t been able to control his temper these past few days. Don’t take offence at him.”

Little Mei pouted. “But he took offence at me. Miss Zhou, I am not qualified to be General Manager’s secretary. You should choose another capable person.”

“Little Mei,” Zhou Ting pressed Little Mei to sit down on the chair and said, “how’s it possible that you’re not qualified? Look, I’ve arranged a few secretaries for Boss Shao and they were all sent back in just a few days. Only you are still in office, so you’re very qualified!”

“But Boss Shao doesn’t like me,” Little Mei said in a wronged tone. When she was picked at first, although the few secretaries who were driven away said that General Manager Shao was not easy to serve, she was still filled with joy and determination. She felt that as long as she could endure it, she would definitely be able to stay. After all, trust and friendship were both nurtured slowly. However, she had done 200% of her best, but she still couldn’t hold on. To be honest, she still felt that it was a miracle for her to hold on until now.

“How could he not like you?” Zhou Ting pretended to be surprised. “You’re young and pretty and capable. How could Boss Shao not like you? Tell me, what did Boss Shao do to you today?”

Little Mei said with an injured expression, “He scolded me for just a broken cup. I didn’t even know whose cup it was. It was placed on the cabinet the while time, ever since I came here. The cup was covered in a layer of ashes, and there was even a small piece missing from it. I thought it was a useless cup. So when I was cleaning this morning, I threw it away. When Boss Shao came, he asked me why the cup was missing. He usually didn’t even look at it. I didn’t know why he suddenly remembered it today. I said it was a useless cup and I had thrown it away. As a result, he was immediately enraged. He said that without his consent, how could I throw something away casually? Miss Zhou, I never dare to touch anything in Boss Shao’s office. But the cup was placed in my office. It was dirty and broken. Boss Shao never mentioned it. Since I threw it away, what a big deal would that be? But he angrily scolded me for half an hour and totally lost his temper. Miss Zhou, do you think it’s necessary for him to scold me just for a broken cup? I really can’t stay in position any longer. ”

Zhou Ting listened silently for a long time. She remembered that cup, which was left behind by Nina. Probably because it was broken, she didn’t want it anymore, she didn’t take it away. However, throwing away a broken cup was not enough to make Shao Boqing so angry. Shao Boqing was not someone who would get angry for such a trivial matter. What was going on? Was there really something wrong between him and Manager Fang?

Zhou Ting thought for a moment and said to Little Mei, “Well, let me give you some advices. Do as I say, if it still doesn’t work, I’ll transfer you away. What do you think?”

Little Mei hesitated for a moment. “Go ahead, Miss Zhou.”

“First of all,” Zhou Ting looked at her face carefully, “you need to change your eyebrows into a different shape. Don’t draw slender and high eyebrows, but darken your brows straight and thick. I recommend you to buy DS dark brown eyebrow pencil. It’s matched with an eyebrow brush. Use the brush to draw flat and straight eyebrows. It’s very simple. Your face is too pale. Apply some rouge and lipstick. Make sure that you use the lipstick of rose color, then match your makeup with exquisite decorative jewelry. Also, you should say nice things and greet him whenever you see him. If Boss Shao didn’t call you in the office, don’t go in. He likes to have his own private space. If you think he looks tired, you can give him a shoulder massage or something…”

When Little Mei heard this, her eyes widened in surprise. Zhou Ting said, “It’s nothing. We’re all colleagues. What’s wrong with caring for each other? When Boss Shao is tired, you can give him a massage. When you’re tired, Boss Shao can also give you a massage! Boss Shao used to do it for Nina.”

Not only did Little Mei’s eyes widen this time, she even opened her mouth wide. Looking at her expression, Zhou Ting wondered whether what she said was wrong, so she explained, “Don’t think too much. Nina and Boss Shao were pure superior and subordinate. There’s nothing else between them. Why could Nina work for Boss Shao for so long? It’s because she is smart and can say nice things. She won’t ask questions that she shouldn’t ask, never steps in something that is none of her business, and can hold a proper attitude to do her duty. That’s basically it. You can go back and think about it.”

Little Mei nodded. After she walked out of the president’s office, Little Mei, the current secretary of General Manager, felt as if she had accidentally found out a secret. It turned out that Boss Shao and Nina really had an ambiguous relationship. Even Miss Zhou spilled the beans for a moment. No wonder that immediately after Boss Shao was married, Nina quitted. No wonder Boss Shao didn’t like anyone else to be his secretary!

Good news never goes beyond the gate, while bad news spread far and wide. In less than two days, this secret had become a secret known to the entire company.

Only Shao Boqing did not know that he had become the main character of the news. He met Gu Nian’an in the corridor. Normally, Gu Nian’an would always keep his head holding high and walk past him as if he didn’t see him. Today, he stopped and chuckled at him twice. “Boss Shao, they all say that you are good at dealing with women. Why did you fail this time?”

Shao Boqing looked at him in confusion. “What do you mean?”

Gu Nian’an smiled and said, “What a wishful thinking you’ve got. With one in the company, and one at home, you can just enjoy the happiness at ease. Unfortunately, it didn’t go according to your wish!”

The more Shao Boqing listened, the more puzzled he became. He frowned and said, “Don’t beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it.”

“Do you still need me to say it?” Gu Nian’an shook his head and said in a regretful tone, “It’s really a pity. Nina is such a good girl… but it’s good for her to quit her job.” Without looking at Shao Boqing, Gu Nian’an raised his head and left after saying that.

Shao Boqing turned around to look at his back. He felt even stranger. Why was Nina involved? After walking forward for a while, he turned to enter Gu Nianjing’s office. He talked about some business with him at first, then asked him, “What bad idea is on your eldest brother’s mind again? He just said to me about Nina and left without saying anything clearly. What does he want to do?”

Gu Nianjing smiled awkwardly. “Boss Shao, my eldest brother is always like that. Ignore him.”

Shao Boqing asked, “What did he mean? Why did he mention Nina?”

Gu Nianjing said, “Who knows? Who can understand his thoughts?”

Shao Boqing felt that something was wrong. Gu Nianjing was an honest person. His expression clearly showed that something was wrong. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Nianjing, you don’t want to follow your eldest brother to deal with me, do you?”

“How’s that possible?” Gu Nianjing quickly smiled and said, “Boss Shao, you’re thinking too much.” Originally, he didn’t want to say such gossip. It was really a bit… but he was afraid that Shao Boqing would misunderstand him, so he could only say it.

Shao Boqing did not expect that they would spread in the company such a version of gossip about Nina’s departure. He himself was stunned for a moment, but he was not angry. After a long time, he slowly said, “So that’s what happened.”

On the way back, staff members greeted him. He either ignored them or nodded absent-mindedly at them, completely different from his usual amiable image. When he returned to his office, Little Mei handed him a document. “Boss Shao, I just received a fax from GK Company.”

“OK,” Shao Boqing replied in a flat tone, then took the document and walked to his own office.

Little Mei called him again, “Boss Shao, I’ve put Chenguang’s marketing report of this month on your desk.”

Shao Boqing stopped and turned to look at her. “Make me a cup of coffee,” he said.

This was the first time Shao Boqing had taken the initiative to ask Little Mei to do something since she took office. She was overjoyed in her heart, but she tried hard to conceal her emotions on her face. However, her shining eyes had already betrayed her excitement.

After making the coffee, Little Mei pulled her collar to both sides. She understood what Zhou Ting said. She wanted her to imitate Nina. She was unwilling to do that in her heart, but there was nothing else she could do. Boss Shao just liked this style! The glance he gave her just now was already very telling.

Little Mei was smart and charming. She felt that as long as she practiced for a little longer, she would also be able to become attractive. At that time, Boss Shao should like her very much.

After bringing the coffee into the office, she saw that Shao Boqing leaned against the chair. His eyes were kept down and his eyebrows knitted, as if he was very tired. Little Mei remembered Zhou Ting’s words. Putting down the coffee, she gently approached Shao Boqing from behind. She raised her hands and placed them on Shao Boqing’s shoulders. “Boss Shao, you must be tired. Let me give you a shoulder massage.”

As soon as she placed her hands on his shoulders, Shao Boqing grabbed them tightly. Little Mei cried out softly in pain. Shao Boqing shook her off and turned the chair around. He smiled faintly and said, “What are you trying to do?”

Little Mei was very uneasy and murmured, “I, I saw that you were tired. I wanted to give you a shoulder massage.”

Shao Boqing curved his lips and said, “Don’t you know that men and women should keep a decent distance?”

Little Mei: “…”

Being lectured by a playboy in the face like this, Little Mei really wanted to die…

“Who told you to do this?” Shao Boqing’s voice started to turn deep.

“No, no one…”

Shao Boqing glared his eyes. The unworldly girl immediately confessed, “It’s, it’s Miss Zhou. She said that colleagues should care for each other and help each other…”

The corners of Shao Boqing’s mouth curved again, but he sneered, “Why are you so obedient to her?”

Now Little Mei knew that she had done something that couldn’t be remedied. She lowered her head and her hanging fingers trembled slightly. Sure enough, Shao Boqing then said, “I’ll give you five minutes to pack your things and get lost. In five minutes, I’ll throw everything out, regardless of whether it’s you yourself or your things!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Little Mei had already run out like a gust of wind. If she endured this any longer, she felt that she wasn’t worthy of being called a human being. With series of noises, she threw her belongings into the carton randomly, then carried the carton and ran away. She didn’t want to stay here for a second longer, nor was she allowed to stay. If she couldn’t act quickly, and got thrown out by Boss Shao to become the laughingstock of the entire company, then she could only wander on the rooftop for a moment and think about jumping off…

At this moment, Shao Boqing felt very angry. The anger in his heart could not be suppressed. He slapped the table and then aggressively went to the president’s office.

Shao Boqing rarely lost his temper at the company, so when he pushed open the door of the president’s office, Zhou Ting was shocked a lot and directly jumped up from her chair. “Boss Shao…”

Shao Boqing didn’t retain any courtesy to her and started cursing her with wide eyes, “Secretary Zhou, are you out of your mind? Ah? What were you trying to do by telling Little Mei to dress like Nina? What did you want her to give me a shoulder massage for? After all, you’ve been working for the president for five years. Why are you still so unreliable? You don’t teach them any good things, but only teach them those unreasonable tricks. She is a secretary, so she should be doing her job, that’s all. Why did you want her to do all this nonsense?”

Zhou Ting was dumbfounded by Shao Boqing’s roar. She stood there dumbfounded, unable to say a word. Never would she have thought that this would be the result. In her impression, Shao Boqing was the person who would not lose his temper the most. Even if he didn’t like Little Mei, he wouldn’t go so far as to come and scold her, right? No matter what, she was Gu Nianbin’s secretary, so it wasn’t his turn to teach her a lesson…
