Chapter 787: Chapter 825 Secretary

"Why don’t you come work at my company?" Xu Yingying suggested once more. In the past, she was reluctant to let Xu Shanshan work at her company, but if Xu Shanshan idled at home, who knows where the girl would run off to causing even more worry.

"Work at your company? You’re asking me to go?" Xu Shanshan looked at her sister, puzzled.

"If I don’t let you go, wouldn’t you be idle again? I’m not concerned about you earning money; I just genuinely worry about you."

Xu Shanshan tilted her head, thinking it over, then said, "Alright, I’ll go then. But if I join your company, what can I do there?"

Xu Yingying didn’t answer Xu Shanshan and instead looked at Li Yifei, saying, "Honey, I’d like to shift your role a bit."

Li Yifei smiled, "You’re the boss, your word is law."

Xu Yingying pouted, "Aren’t I discussing this with you? Our factory has started production, but I still don’t feel assured about it. I want you to be the factory director so I can feel at ease."

"Factory director... that’s a bit of an over-promotion for me." Li Yifei forced a smile.

"Honey, I know you like a leisurely life and don’t want to be too burdened with work. But the company is at a critical moment, and if you don’t help, I really can’t find anyone suitable. Mengxin entrusted the company to me, and I have to do a good job. The factory is the most important place, and you need to share some of the responsibility with me."

"Alright, I’ll go there." Li Yifei had no choice but to agree.

"Thank you, honey." Xu Yingying gave a sweet smile.

Xu Shanshan, with wide eyes, said, "You’re sending my brother-in-law to the branch?"

Xu Yingying nodded, speaking irritably, "Yes, I’m sending him to the branch, and you’ll follow along. I can’t have you at the headquarters; if you stir up trouble, won’t the employees think it’s me causing issues?"

Xu Shanshan was about to refuse if Li Yifei was relocated to the branch, thinking she wouldn’t work there, but after hearing that, she became excited. However, she soon pouted and said, "So you just want me to keep an eye on my brother-in-law."

Xu Yingying glared at Xu Shanshan, saying, "I’m making your brother-in-law keep an eye on you. I warn you, when you get there, you should work diligently. Don’t think just because your brother-in-law spoils you, you can be reckless. If I find out, I’ll send you home immediately to let Mom take care of you."

"I get it, I get it." Xu Shanshan pouted, looking pitiably at Li Yifei, "Brother-in-law, please go easy on me, don’t pick on me too much."

Li Yifei watched Xu Shanshan’s antics and found it amusing but had to play along, saying, "We’ll see how you perform. Surely you know I’m a henpecked male."

"Sigh, there’s no justice in the world." Xu Shanshan shook her head and sighed, but inside she was so happy she could burst out laughing.

"By the way, what will Shanshan do there?" Li Yifei asked.

Xu Yingying said, "Let her be your secretary, that way she’s right under your nose, and nothing can go wrong. Darling, it might be a bit more work for you."

Xu Shanshan immediately wore a mischievous smile, while Xu Yingying immediately glared again, saying, "Listen well, the factory has billions in investment, and everything about the company revolves around it. Don’t think being your brother-in-law’s secretary means you can take it easy."

Xu Shanshan then stuck out her tongue, saying, "Got it, I’ll definitely listen to my brother-in-law."

In the morning, when they arrived at the company, Xu Yingying immediately announced the personnel appointment. For those at the headquarters, it didn’t affect much, and since Xu Yingying was the boss, no one raised any objections.

In the afternoon, Li Yifei bid farewell to the headquarters building and accompanied Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan to the factory.

The factory here had more people than the company, just over five hundred workers plus other managerial staff, totaling six hundred. Production had already begun, but the original director, a tech specialist, had quickly shown deficiencies in management. So he wasn’t upset by the appointment of a new director; he felt relieved to focus on technology.

A meeting with some middle managers at the factory was called, and Li Yifei’s role as director was officially established, with Xu Shanshan appointed as his secretary.

Seeing Xu Shanshan and Xu Yingying appearing like they were cut from the same cloth surprised everyone, but Xu Yingying straightforwardly said Xu Shanshan was her sister. The factory staff found nothing wrong with it, as Xu Yingying merely made her sister a secretary, which wasn’t an abuse of power. Even if it were, who would dare protest?

After a round of patrol through the factory plant, since Li Yifei had taken on this role, he couldn’t afford his previous laid-back attitude. He had to get serious.

Managing a company might not suit his abilities, but managing a factory was much simpler. Success lay in overseeing production and quality. Li Yifei, after all, was once the true leader of the Flying Hawk Squad, responsible for many people, so managing these should be no problem.

After the tour, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan went to his office. The factory’s large area included not only production workshops but also spacious office buildings. Li Yifei’s director’s office alone was 50 to 60 square meters, with even a suite and a small resting room with a single bed inside.

"Wow, not bad, even a bed!" Xu Shanshan wandered around the office, then hugged Li Yifei’s neck, delightfully happy.

Li Yifei gently patted her bottom, "Stop fooling around; this is a factory. If someone sees us, it wouldn’t be good."

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "Who’s scared? The office door is frosted glass. We can see outside, but no one can see in. I checked earlier."

Li Yifei said, both amused and helpless, "Why are you so keen on such things?"

Xu Shanshan blinked, "Of course, we must be careful. How else can I carry on a secret affair with my brother-in-law without caution?"

Li Yifei kissed Xu Shanshan lightly on her lips, "Still, you need to be cautious. Besides, your sister entrusted us with important tasks; we shouldn’t let her down."

"What’s there to let down? The company belongs to Mengxin, and since Mengxin is practically yours, it’s like the company is yours too. What’s yours is mine, so it doesn’t matter how we mess around."

"Aren’t you just being wasteful? Who ruins their own family’s company?"

"True, it does sound wasteful. But with my sister being so capable, a little squander on my part shouldn’t matter."

However, the two didn’t get too close for long. If someone showed up, tidying themselves up would be too late, so they stopped early for precaution. Xu Shanshan was quite happy; working with Li Yifei daily meant plenty of intimate moments, much more than before.

Just taking over the factory, Li Yifei had much to learn. He brought over some factory documents for thorough study, with Xu Shanshan helping alongside, also attentively reviewing.

The duo worked until nearly the end of the day before organizing their documents, and Li Yifei expressed unexpected surprise to Xu Shanshan, "Shanshan, I never thought you could work so diligently."

Xu Shanshan proudly raised her chin, saying, "Of course, when I set my mind on something, I, Xu Shanshan, never do it poorly."

Li Yifei laughed, "I believe you, but you seldom commit this much."

Xu Shanshan blinked, "So, why do you think I’m working so hard this time?"

Li Yifei looked at Xu Shanshan, leaned down to kiss her once more, "Can’t I guess?"

"Then tell me." Xu Shanshan’s smile deepened.

"Of course, it’s to stay with me. If you don’t work well, who knows when your sister might send you away."

"Wrong! If I don’t work well, my sister will be even less willing to let me go elsewhere. At least here, you can keep an eye on me. If I perform well and my sister sees my ability, she might promote me somewhere else."

Li Yifei looked puzzled at Xu Shanshan, "Do you want to pursue a successful career?"

"I don’t have such thoughts. Me... hee hee, I won’t tell you."

Once again, Li Yifei found it impossible to see through his sister-in-law’s thoughts, always quirky and unusual, even coming up with plans and ideas beyond his comprehension.
