Falling in Love with My Contracted Husband - Chapter 70
Chapter 70 Dismissal Of Secretary
Li Yu harbored a curious heart and wanted to take a careful look at his face, but he didn’t expect that Tang Jin Chen would actually pull An Zi Xi away from him without stopping for a moment.
Tang Jin Chen was unexpectedly so extreme that he only allowed him to take a look from afar, but did not allow him to get close.
Li Yu only felt that, Tang Jin Chen looked at him. A wild leopard that looked like a guardian of its prey revealed an inviolable coldness. Seeing Tang Jin Chen’s posture, Li Yu naturally didn’t dare to approach him. He could only stand there with a bitter smile on his face. However, this added to Li Yu’s curiosity about An Zi Xi. It was the first time he had seen Tang Jin Chen so nervous, let alone a woman.
An Zixi stayed abroad for a few days, and after returning home, he became more and more familiar with Tang Jin Chen. However, it had to be said that Tang Jin Chen enjoyed it quite a bit. Compared to the dubious and pretentious An Zi Xi, he preferred this kind of An Zi Xi.
For several days, Tang Jin Chen had left early and returned late because he was prepared to give An Zi Xi a surprise. Plans started at the resort.
After preparing for a long time, it was originally a secret and romantic matter, but Li Yu’s text message made it completely uninteresting, and it even burst into flames.
“Your little wife already knows about this. Your concealment is meaningless. Thank your good secretary.”
Tang Jin Chen looked at his phone with an ice-cold expression, wishing he could throw it.
In order to give An Zixi a pleasant surprise, he had painstakingly concealed it from her for so many days. However, he didn’t expect that all his efforts would be in vain. His stupid secretary had actually told An Zixi everything, causing all his efforts to be in vain.
The more Tang Jin Chen sat in the office, the angrier he became. He picked up the phone on the table.
Tang Jin Chen’s phone was all single-line, directly connecting to the one on the secretary’s desk. Normally, if anything happened, the secretary would call him first, and the secretary would notify him.
Just as Tang Jin Chen picked up the phone, the secretary knew that her boss had something to convey.
“Hello, boss. What can I do for you?” Secretary Zhang tried his best to make his voice sound respectful.
Being able to become the secretary next to the boss, Xiao Zhang was certainly not a simple-minded idiot. He seized every opportunity to get in touch with the boss and tried his best to show off in front of the boss. At this moment, the voice on the phone was exceptionally gentle. Unfortunately, what he didn’t know was that Tang Jin Chen was angry at this moment!
Originally, Tang Jin Chen’s heart was suffocated by a wave of evil fire, but when he heard Little Zhang’s voice, he was instantly enraged. Tang Jin Chen didn’t care about his previous demeanor and directly shouted at the phone, “You, come to the office! Immediately! I want to fire you!”
Tang Jin Chen hung up the phone and furrowed his eyebrows.
All along, Eldest Young Master Tang had appeared in front of everyone with a proud appearance. Whether it was appearance, family background, or ability to work, they could only be compared to others. These were his pride. On any occasion, it was the woman who took the initiative to flatter him. This was the first time Young Master Tang had lowered his body to do something for a girl.
However, this was the “first time” that his stupid secretary had spilled the beans.
“President, are you looking for me?” Just as Tang Jin Chen closed his eyes and pondered, Secretary Zhang had already come to the door and asked with trepidation. He had already thought about Tang Jin Chen’s thoughts a thousand times just a step away. He really didn’t know why he had provoked this rich god. Could it be that An Zi Xi blew a pillow beside Tang Jin Chen’s ear again and deliberately exaggerated the offense he had committed when he was on a business trip?
“Come in!” Tang Jin Chen gestured for him to come in.
“President, did I do something wrong?” Little Zhang had a worried expression on his face, and the voice of a grown man was filled with tears. He had long since heard that his boss was always moody. One second, he had talked and laughed, but the next second, he might lose face and refuse to recognize anyone.
Earlier today, because An Zixi had been obedient recently and their relationship had improved, Tang Jin Chen’s temper was much better. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, this Eldest Young Master Tang was already furious!
Tang Jin Chen originally wanted to ask Secretary Zhang why he had leaked the surprise he had prepared for An Zi Xi in advance. “You know that you did something wrong! Let me ask you …” However, he didn’t say anything when his words reached his mouth.
Tang Jin Chen had always given the impression that he was a workaholic who only talked about his work. At this moment, it was inevitable that he would be a little childish to ask his secretary about these things. Besides, he had already lost his temper on the phone, and his temper had already dissipated. He did not have the impulse he had just had.
Seeing Tang Jin Chen’s hesitant expression, not only did Little Zhang not feel at ease, he was even more afraid. He didn’t know what Tang Jin Chen actually had at this moment, and thought that he was so angry that he couldn’t speak. Looks like the rumors among the employees are true. His boss is really a moody guy!
He was only a young secretary who had just arrived. The boss hired him just to make it easier for him to bring a man when he was on a business trip. In the past, he had been concentrating on his work, and the boss treated him well. However, ever since he had provoked An Zixi last time, he had been living in fear every day, afraid that his boss would fire him unhappily.
Secretary Zhang quickly filtered through today’s past in his mind to see where he had done wrong and how he could make the boss so furious.
Could it be that it was his words? But I have already apologized! Little Zhang wanted to cry without tears as he thought, praying in his heart that An Zixi wasn’t so stingy.
Tang Jin Chen raised his head and discovered that this fellow in front of him was trembling as he looked at him. Seeing that Secretary Zhang was afraid of swallowing him alive, Tang Jin Chen couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. An Zi Xi actually made him lose his balance. At this moment, the remaining flames disappeared without a trace.
After all, he was his secretary. No matter what, he couldn’t go too far because of a woman.
“Mr. Tang, is that the cup of coffee I gave you this morning … the temperature is wrong?” Secretary Zhang thought about it for a long time, but he only thought of such a mistake today.
Tang Jin Chen was confused by Secretary Zhang. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard some chirping sounds outside the door. There was someone outside!
He made a silent gesture to Secretary Zhang and gently walked to the door. Suddenly, he pushed open the door and coldly said to the outside, “What are you guys doing?”
Just as he thought, a group of people were gathered outside the door, eavesdropping with their ears pricked up. Many people were frightened to the ground by Tang Jin Chen’s sudden arrival. The employees looked up and saw that it was their boss. They hurriedly scattered around, afraid that the boss would recognize them.
Tang Jin Chen’s eyes were cold. He didn’t expect that after just a few days of gentleness, they would dare to go up to the house and expose the tiles. In the past, he didn’t even dare to breathe in front of him.
Tang Jin Chen grabbed the tallest and thinnest person in the crowd. “Good, Li Yu! As the director of the company, you didn’t do a good job and even took the lead in eavesdropping. You’re getting bolder and bolder!”
Li Yu, who had been caught, smiled awkwardly as he forcefully pulled Tang Jin Chen’s finger away. “Hehe, boss, I’m just passing by, passing by! Actually, I didn’t hear anything. You guys continue!”
As he spoke, Li Yu broke free from Tang Jin Chen’s palm. Even though this fellow’s body was thin and weak, he was actually running faster than anyone else at this moment. In just a short moment, these fellows had disappeared without a trace.
Letting Li Yu come was simply a mistake. The whole company was brought to life. He was no longer afraid of his dignity. Unfortunately, Li Yu was his playmate. Otherwise, if it was someone else, they would have been crushed to death by him.
Tang Jin Chen closed the office door with a gloomy face.
In the distance, An Zixi had a surprised expression.
She had always thought that Tang Jin Chen was ruthless, but now it seemed that Tang Jin Chen’s ruthlessness was only aimed at his enemies. Facing the employees under him, Tang Jin Chen had always treated them as brothers and sisters, right?
Just like now, these fellows were also accustomed to being undisciplined by Tang Jin Chen. When Tang Jin Chen reprimanded his subordinates, these fellows were actually eavesdropping outside the office.
An Zixi still didn’t know about Li Yu. She had only just returned, and she didn’t have much contact with Li Yu. He did not know that the reason for this was simply because of Li Yu’s friendship with Tang Jin Chen, not because of Tang Jin Chen’s considerate care for his employees.
However, An Zixi’s impression of Tang Jin Chen inexplicably changed. I don’t think he’s that cold.
If Tang Jin Chen found out, he really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
It seemed that everyone in the company knew that Tang Jin Chen was going to expel this secretary. Originally, Tang Jin Chen only wanted to use Little Zhang to vent his anger, but he didn’t expect that the entire company would know about this. As the leader of a company, Tang Jin Chen had to keep his word. Since he had already released the limelight today, no matter what, he would have to dismiss Xiao Zhang.
Although it was very troublesome to recruit a secretary, a dignified President of the Tang Corporation could not go back on his word in front of all the employees. Moreover, he had no reason to leave a person with a weak mouth by his side. Today, he was revealing his meticulous arrangements for An Zixi. He might reveal the company secrets in the future. Such a person was always at risk.
Tang Jin Chen had already calmed down. He raised his face and instructed Xiao Zhang with a calm expression, “Come over here.” His voice was cold but gentle. He had long since restrained his previous dignity.
Secretary Zhang was sitting on the sofa at the side. He was even more confused about what his boss was looking for him. Such an approachable attitude really made him uneasy.
“I graduated from a prestigious university with a master’s degree in international trade and economics. I won many scholarships during my time at the university. Am I right?”
“Yes, yes, not bad at all!” Little Zhang was flattered. He did not expect that Tang Jin Chen would remember his file so clearly. What he didn’t know was that this was also Tang Jin Chen’s strength. This fellow had the ability to never forget. As long as he had seen it once, there would be almost no mistakes in memorizing it in his mind. It was precisely because of this that all the plans in the company were flawless!
Tang Jin Chen looked up at Xiao Zhang’s nervous expression and said, “Your resume is quite exciting. It’s just that …” A playful smile appeared on his face.
Little Zhang was scratched by Tang Jin Chen’s words, and he didn’t know what the other party was trying to say. But at this time, he didn’t dare to ask. He could only stare at Tang Jin Chen eagerly, waiting for him to continue.
“It’s just that you’re just a small secretary with such a wonderful resume. You only arrange a few itineraries for me every day. Are you at ease?”
Tang Jin Chen’s words coincided with Little Zhang’s heart. Although this secretarial job could make Xiao Zhang’s food and clothing safe, his monthly income could already make those ordinary white-collar workers envious to death. However, in the depths of his heart, Little Zhang still had a feeling of unwillingness.
Which young man who had just stepped into the workplace did not wish for him to exert his life-long revenge and display his strength. However, Xiao Zhang stayed at his small desk every day, ready to serve tea and pour water for his boss.
Although Little Zhang admired his boss from the bottom of his heart, he still felt a little disappointed doing this kind of work every day.
“I didn’t fire you this time because you didn’t do a good job, but because you could have become better!” Tang Jin Chen took out a contract from the drawer and signed it. You were forcibly dismissed by me during the term of the contract, which is a breach of contract. According to the rules, I should pay you three times the salary. “Take this and go to the finance department to collect the money!” Tang Jin Chen couldn’t help but hand the dismissal contract to Zhang.
“That’s right! There’s a short-term training course for senior executives at the University of Sydney. The participants are all senior executives from international companies. I have some connections with the lecturers over there. When I sign up for you, if you’re interested, you can go over there and take a look. It can also broaden your horizons.”
Although Tang Jin Chen’s words were casual, the weight in Little Zhang’s ears was completely different. No matter how stupid Little Zhang was, he could tell that Tang Jin Chen was helping him pave the way. Not to mention how precious executive training classes are, just being able to get in touch with executives from international companies is already precious.
Little Zhang’s current knowledge was not a problem. What he lacked was actually an opportunity. But now, Tang Jin Chen had apparently dismissed him, but in fact, he was providing Little Zhang with such an opportunity!
Tang Jin Chen had put a lot of effort into Little Zhang’s arrangements. People who could have been dismissed in a few words had to perform well. In doing so, he simply did not want to add to An Zi Xi’s guilt. After all, there were too many rumors about her in the company …
“Boss … thank you so much!” Little Zhang didn’t expect things to change so quickly. Although Tang Jin Chen had dismissed him, it wasn’t a bad thing.
Little Zhang easily took the bait. His ability was not bad, but he was still a bit lacking. Send them to cultivate and give Li Yu something to do.
“Go back and pack up your things. I hope you can display your strength in the future!” Seeing Little Zhang’s excited expression, Tang Jin Chen said a few words of encouragement.
The rest of the company didn’t know what was going on, but they only knew that when Xiao Zhang left the company, he was still smiling. These guys thought that Little Zhang had been stimulated by something.
All of a sudden, they were discussing and mentioning An Zixi at the same time. After all, Little Zhang had once provoked An Zixi.
Li Yu scolded Tang Jin Chen in his heart. The place he arranged was his territory. It was obvious that he was looking for something to do, and it was still open and honest!
It had to be said that Tang Jin Chen’s plan to kill two birds with one stone was too good.
Looking at Tang Jin Chen’s expressionless face, no one could guess his joy or anger. They did not know what had happened for a moment.
Tang Jin Chen coldly swept his eyes and said indifferently, “What are you looking at? Give me an honest job!”
