The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement - Chapter 252

252 New Secretary

Jing Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at her. He could not help but pinch her little nose and said, “You’re so smart, I can’t hide anything from you.”

He Miao smiled happily.

She acknowledged Chen Zhao’s ability, so she naturally believed in the person he kept praising.

Seeing that she had eaten her fill, Jing Yan accompanied her until she fell asleep, then packed up the lunch box and went back to work.

!!
In the afternoon, when Jing Yan estimated that He Miao was about to wake up, he asked Chen Zhao to bring Tao Xin to see He Miao.

Tao Xin had a light girlish air about her, and she looked refreshing. She was a few years older than He Miao, but they looked more like sisters of the same age.

Chen Zhao brought her into the ward and introduced her, “Miss He, this is Tao Xin, Secretary Tao. She’ll be following you to your new company in the future. You can send her to do anything you need.”

Tao Xin put on a proper smile and nodded respectfully at He Miao. “Miss He, please give me your guidance in the future.”

He Miao did not know if it was her own imagination, but she felt that Tao Xin’s words were laced with anger. She noticed her clenched hands and smiled faintly. “Jing Yan has found a renovation team for me. I have a design draft for you later. I can’t leave the hospital yet, so I’ll leave the renovation to you to supervise. You must finish it as soon as possible.”

“Alright,” she said. Tao Xin agreed with a smile on her face, but she was disdainful of He Miao in her heart.

She had seen a lot of women who thought themselves to be extraordinary in the workplace. Did they think that they could prove that they were capable of running a company just because they were with President Jing?

She laughed coldly in her heart. As long as she could make He Miao’s company close down quickly, she would be able to return to Jing Yan’s side and work sooner. Sooner or later, she would have the chance to replace He Miao.

Chen Zhao did not know Tao Xin’s true thoughts, nor did he know that she was only flirting with him because he was Jing Yan’s Chief Secretary. She just wanted to use him as a springboard to climb up the ladder.

He was only happy that Tao Xin could be promoted. Although he could not work with Tao Xin every day, they would still have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.

Chen Zhao laughed in his heart as he turned to Tao Xin and said, “Then you can stay here and hand over the work to Miss He. I’ll go back first.”

“Miss He, President Jing is very busy with work. If you need anything, just call me.” From the bottom of his heart, Chen Zhao felt that Jing Yan and He Miao were a good match. He had already treated He Miao as the lady boss, and his attitude was always polite.

“Alright,” He Miao nodded and smiled. you can go back first. Tao Xin can stay here.

After Chen Zhao left, He Miao pointed at the seat opposite her. “Have a seat. Add me to your contact list. I’ll send you the blueprint.”

“Alright,” she said. Tao Xin’s attitude was a little perfunctory, but when she thought of her plan, she suppressed it and did not make it too obvious.

She moved a chair over and sat by He Miao’s bed. After adding her contact number, she enlarged the design to take a closer look.

He Miao had come up with this design after she was hospitalized. Jing Yan had taken her to the building for a tour last time, so she had roughly memorized the layout of the building and drawn this design.

However, Tao Xin was not as calm as she was when she saw it. She could not help but exclaim, “Are you studying interior design? With this kind of renovation, the company will definitely be brand new, but it will cost a lot of money, right?”

Thinking of this, Tao Xin could not help frowning. She did not want Jing Yan to spend too much money on other women. It felt like her cake had been touched.

He Miao did not think too much about it and thought that Tao Xin was doing it for her sake. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry about the expenses. When the time comes, you will check the accounts with the renovation company and record every sum of money you spend. Then, show it to me once a day. If you feel that you can’t handle it on your own, you can hire an accountant to help you with these things.”

Tao Xin’s eyes lit up. This was a great opportunity to earn some extra money. How could she be willing to let an outsider in? She quickly shook her head and said, “It’s not necessary to hire an accountant yet. The company is not ready yet, so it’s not easy to hire someone. Besides, I can handle this alone. Don’t worry, Miss He.”

“That’s good.” He Miao nodded and explained the design plan to her again in detail, in case she did not communicate clearly with the renovation company.

Tao Xin kept her words in mind as she thought about how to scam He Miao of her money.

In her eyes, every single cent He Miao spent now would be shared between her and Jing Yan in the future, so she would naturally be at ease when she deducted He Miao’s renovation fees.

After He Miao finished explaining every marking on the drawing, she looked up at her and suddenly asked, “What are you thinking? Do you remember what I just said?”
