Chapter 390: Chapter 397 Goddess

Back in the office, Su Mengxin smiled and said, "I really like this atmosphere, it seems you’re quite good at leading your troops. The Human Resources Department seems very lively."

Li Yifei felt a bit guilty; though he worked in the Human Resources Department, he had only put in genuine effort at the beginning and later on, he didn’t really apply himself. He usually just delegated the general tasks to others and practically became a hands-off manager. He said, "Each of these guys has their own personality. It’s because you’re here that there’s such great cohesion. The beauty effect really is powerful."

Su Mengxin chuckled and said, "Everyone has a love for beauty; you can’t blame them for that. Oh, Manager Li, your tea has gone cold. Let me get you a new cup."

"You don’t need to do that," Li Yifei said, feeling a bit uncomfortable as he watched Su Mengxin changing his tea.

"But I am your secretary. If I don’t take good care of my manager, you might fire me, and then wouldn’t I be in a sorry state?"

Li Yifei thought to himself: "It’s more likely that you would fire me. Who would dare to sack you?"

However, as Su Mengxin seemed willing to play along, Li Yifei didn’t say anything more. His ability to adapt was extremely strong and, having seen people even more significant than Su Mengxin in the past, his attitude became relaxed and he accepted the situation comfortably.

Seeing Li Yifei acting all lordly actually made Su Mengxin quite happy. Having seen too many people trying to please her before, she grew to like him more and more as he treated her ordinarily.

Of course, there was also a preconceived reason, as she had harbored a secret affection for Li Yifei for a while. So, whatever Li Yifei did, she viewed it appreciatively, and even the smallest things made her see his good points.

"Manager Li, what should I do now?" Su Mengxin sat down and asked Li Yifei.

Li Yifei looked at the personnel application reports that various departments had sent over and said, "I have some personnel application reports here. You help me go through them and see which ones are necessary and which ones are not."

Su Mengxin quickly came over to take them and started working diligently.

And Su Mengxin, she was capable of managing several large companies, so dealing with these small matters was naturally no problem. Even if she wasn’t familiar with this company, her experience alone was enough to make sound judgments.

Within less than twenty minutes, Su Mengxin had already organized everything and came over to stand beside Li Yifei. She said, "Manager Li, I’m done. These are completely suitable, these are optional, and these are completely unnecessary."

Li Yifei flipped through them and immediately smiled, saying, "Not bad, not bad at all." Then he swiftly signed his name and handed them to Su Mengxin, saying, "You take these to Axingrui, let him handle it."

With a nod, Su Mengxin proceeded out of his office with a light step.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but feel that Su Mengxin, when being given orders, still seemed excited. Could it be that Huaxia’s number one beauty, used to ordering others around and being in a position of authority, was now becoming addicted to being a subordinate?

Regardless of what Su Mengxin might be thinking, Li Yifei preferred not to speculate. After all, just treat it like a game, he thought, with the added perks of work becoming easier and the pleasure of having a beautiful woman around, why not enjoy it?

Actually, there wasn’t much to do in the Human Resources Department nowadays, and as a manager, he was even more at ease. Now with a capable female secretary, Li Yifei found himself with even less to do, spending the morning playing games on the computer, smoking, and drinking water—quite comfortably indeed.

Su Mengxin really was a qualified secretary, from time to time refilling his tea and emptying the ashtray, keeping his desk neat and tidy. Li Yifei completely ignored her hard work and let her stay busy.

Li Yifei was at ease, but Xu Yingying was constantly worried. The Chairman had actually come to work at the company as a low-level employee and to be her husband’s secretary, which was bizarre. Especially concerning Li Yifei, who was usually a bit unruly—what if he did something to offend Su Mengxin?

Busying herself in the office for a while, Xu Yingying grew more anxious and decided to go downstairs to Li Yifei’s office.

As she entered, she saw Su Mengxin pouring tea for Li Yifei, who was sitting back with his legs crossed, completely at ease and focused on his computer.

"President Xu!" Su Mengxin immediately greeted Xu Yingying.

After closing the door, Xu Yingying finally said, "Boss Su, why are you still pouring water for this guy?" Then she glared at Li Yifei and said, "Didn’t I tell you last night? With Boss Su here, shouldn’t you be taking care of her instead of having her wait on you? Do you really think you’re the boss here?"

Li Yifei was being scolded by his wife, and while it might not have been entirely reasonable, it had a distinct flavor to it. This was a completely different feeling from the past when Xu Yingying was his superior, and he was just a subordinate. Now, as his wife, even her complaints and criticisms came with an element of care, a warm familiarity only found within one’s own family.

Su Mengxin quickly said, "President Xu, I’m now Manager Li’s secretary, and this is part of my job. If I’m here and still have Manager Li take care of me, then what’s the point of my being here?"

Xu Yingying gave Li Yifei a look, then smiled at Su Mengxin and said, "It’s just for show in front of others, but when we’re alone, why do you still cater to him? This guy really knows how to act like a big shot, and you shouldn’t indulge him."

With a smile, Su Mengxin said, "Whatever I do, I like to fully commit to it. If I’m a secretary, then I want to be the most qualified one, so President Xu, don’t worry too much. Just consider me as Manager Li’s secretary—don’t keep thinking of me as some sort of chairman or something, otherwise, I’d feel uncomfortable staying here."

Su Mengxin was the kind of person with leadership charisma. Her words were gentle yet firm, and at that point, Xu Yingying couldn’t say much more, saying, "I know that Secretary Su is serious about her work, but you can’t spoil someone too much otherwise you’ll definitely end up being bullied."

Laughing lightly, Su Mengxin said, "I will still take good care of myself, and I won’t let a certain manager take advantage of his position to bully me."

Xu Yingying was a bit embarrassed, while Li Yifei lit a cigarette and said contentedly, "Look, wife, you don’t need to worry about this."

Xu Yingying gave Li Yifei a glance and said, "You can’t call me that in the company. You should call me President Xu."

"Alright, alright, President Xu. If you don’t have anything else, you can go back to work. No need to waste time here. Secretary Su, please show President Xu out."

Xu Yingying really wanted to pinch Li Yifei, as he was now putting on airs as if he was the boss and she was just a department manager. If there were others present, she would have had to reprimand Li Yifei with a straight face, but with just the three of them there, she, as his wife, couldn’t bring herself to publicly reprimand her husband. She only managed to say, "You better work hard, and if I catch you slacking off again, I’ll kick you out of the company."

After Xu Yingying left the office, Li Yifei resumed his role as the boss, and Su Mengxin continued to be her diligently responsible secretary. Although they didn’t talk much, both were quite comfortable with the arrangement.

During lunchtime, Su Mengxin’s presence caused a stir in the company. The bolder ones came over to talk to Su Mengxin, hoping to leave a good impression and possibly get a chance to develop a relationship with her.

The company did have its beauties, such as Xu Yingying, He Fangqing, and Michelle, each of them top-tier. But Xu Yingying and He Fangqing were the company’s top two leaders, whom ordinary employees wouldn’t dare to pursue, not even daring to give an extra glance normally.

Michelle was known for her good temperament, and initially had many suitors. However, after Michelle openly confessed to Li Yifei, the number of her suitors greatly decreased. Michelle was a manager, and so was Li Yifei. Offending either of them meant there would be consequences later on.

It was different with Su Mengxin, who was just an ordinary employee. That meant there was no distinction of rank, and people could boldly pursue her.

By morning, news of Su Mengxin coming to work had spread throughout the company. However, other than visiting the Human Resources Department twice, she hadn’t appeared again, spending the rest of her time in Li Yifei’s office, leaving everyone with no opportunity to approach her.

This made the company’s single men despise Li Yifei. He had already taken the most lovable Michelle for himself, and now he had made Su Mengxin his secretary and kept her in his office, preventing others from interacting with her, which they found highly disdainful.

Yet no one knew that Michelle and Su Mengxin, whom everyone thought Li Yifei had claimed, were actually not related to him anymore, while the two women in the company who could only be admired from afar, Xu Yingying and He Fangqing, had become Li Yifei’s wife and lover, respectively.

Su Mengxin treated those enthusiastic male colleagues with a constant smile, showing no signs of impatience, which delighted everyone even more. By the afternoon, she had already been deemed the goddess of the company, surpassing the popularity of Xu Yingying and He Fangqing.

At the end of the workday, Li Yifei took a group of people from the Human Resources Department out to enjoy themselves. They were all excited eating at Li Yifei’s expense, and with a beauty like Su Mengxin among them, everyone was thrilled just thinking about it.

Xu Yingying had wanted to join, but Li Yifei had outright vetoed her attendance. It was a gathering for colleagues in the Human Resources Department; there was no need for a president like her to join in. With no other choice, Xu Yingying had to go home on her own.
