In particular, the problem was that he did not come back early or late, but he came back right after Zhao Youlin entered the Zhao Enterprise and was about to deal with Zhao Youxi and her family. The timing was very intriguing.
Zhao Youlin would never believe that this was simply a coincidence.
“His courses have ended? That is fast. If I’m not mistaken, Youming is one year younger than me, right? This means that he has only been in university for two years, and he finished all the courses quickly. He is really smart.”
“That child is indeed smart, and he is polite as well. Among the children of your uncles and relatives, he is particularly smart. It’s a pity that he was born in such a family, and…” ‘He also has such a mother and sister.’ Duan Yarong sighed and did not notice Zhao Youlin trying to speak through the conversation.
Zhao Youlin’s eyes flickered. He was about to get compliments from Duan Yarong, who had always disliked Li Hongyu and her daughter. It seemed that her brother, whom she had never met, was not a simple person.
Zhao Youlin wondered whether this person was really as good as Duan Yarong said, or if he was a shrewd person and had even managed to deceive Duan Yarong. If he was the former, it was indeed a pity. However, if he was the latter…
Duan Yarong did not know of the speculations running in Zhao Youlin’s mind. Although she had a good impression of Zhao Youming before, there was still a distance between them because of Li Hongyu.
Compared with Zhao Youlin, Duan Yarong was more biased towards her daughter, of course.
After telling the important things, Duan Yarong started to chat with Zhao Youlin about casual things. The first thing was the matter of Joy going to kindergarten.
“Joy will go to kindergarten tomorrow. I’m really reluctant about it. Should I ask the driver to send Joy directly to the kindergarten tomorrow, or…”
“I’ll go out with Joy tomorrow, so let the driver send Joy to the kindergarten first. After that, he can send me to the company.”
Duan Yarong was stunned. She turned her head and looked at Zhao Youlin with a little surprise. “But in this case, don’t you need to wake up very early to leave the house?”
Zhao Youlin’s working hours were much more flexible than ordinary company employees. As long as she could finish the documents piled up on her office table that were needed to be completed on that day, no one cared about when she went to work or when she left work. So, Zhao Youlin generally did not go out too early in the morning.
“It’s just a little bit earlier. There is no big problem. If I go to the company early, I can finish the work earlier and go to the kindergarten early to wait for Joy to finish his class. Tomorrow is Joy’s first day of kindergarten. I promised him that I’ll take him to and from kindergarten in the future, so I can’t break the promise on the first day.”
Zhao Youlin said so, so Duan Yarong could not say anything else. “Alright, Joy will go to the kindergarten for the first time tomorrow, so it is normal for him to find it a little scary. If you take him to kindergarten, I’ll be more at ease.”
Zhao Youlin smiled and nodded. “Well, I have the same thought as well.”
The matter of taking Joy to and from the kindergarten was settled. At the same time, news came from the human resource department.
Zhao Youlin’s order to hire a new secretary had been completed, and she could come to the company to report for work today.
Several people in the general manager’s office were curious about what the new employee looked like when they heard the news. According to the recruitment requirements of the general manager, this newcomer should be a mature lady.
But when they saw her, they realized that it was not the same as what they thought at all.
Zhao Youlin looked at the girl standing in front of her, who had long hair, big eyes, and an oval face with a little baby fat. She looked like a modern SD doll.
“This is the new secretary you hired for me?” The corners of Zhao Youlin’s slightly twitched as she pointed at the girl in front of her, who had an innocent look, while looking at Chief Zhang, the person in charge of the human resource department, helplessly.
After she said that, she could not help but turn over. She stared at the girl and asked, “Are you an adult?”
“That’s right. She seems younger than me. Is she actually an adult?” Li came out from the back of Zhao Youlin like a wandering soul and stared at the girl’s round face with curiosity.
The stare made the girl shy. She touched her face and smiled shyly.
When she smiled, she seemed even cuter. She even had a dimple on her cheek. Although it was assymetrical, the dimple was crooked when she smiled. It really made the hearts of people who looked at her melt.
This was simply cheating. Were the people in the human resources department fascinated by the girl’s cute smile, so they hired her?
The more Zhao Youlin thought about it, the more she thought that it was possible. She looked at Chief Zhang with a meaningful gaze.
Chief Zhang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, General Manager. Ms. Su was selected after several rounds of screening. Not only is she an adult, but she also meets all your requirements.”
“Meet all the requirements?” Zhao Youlin was stunned. She looked at Ms. Su a few times with curiosity and narrowed her eyes. “Have you ever worked as a secretary before?”
“I worked as a secretary for a while, but it wasn’t long,” the girl replied nicely, and she was not shy at all.
Zhao Youlin nodded. “It’s good that you have experience. I won’t ask you to do things that are too complicated. You just need to follow Li, the person next to me. How old are you?”
“…Twenty years old.”
She was already twenty years old, so she was about the same age as her current body. Was it really because of her baby face?
Zhao Youlin’s eyes flickered, and she continued to say, “Li is twenty-two years old, so she is slightly older than you. Your job is basically to follow her to organize some documents that I want to use and hand them over to me after that. There are not many things to do, but there is one thing… It is also the application requirements that I specifically mentioned before. Do you know how to fight?”
Everyone was speechless.
The spacious office was silent for a few seconds. Zhao Youlin seemed to feel that her question had been too blunt as well. She gave a light cough and added, “Well, let me put it in another way. Are you good at martial arts?”
Zhao Youlin looked at the girl’s big and deceptive eyes and said seriously, “Don’t blame me for asking too much. I must make some things clear in advance. You might think that being a secretary is nothing more than organizing things, summarizing the schedule, but it is different on my side. If you are not good at martial arts, I can’t promise that you won’t be bullied for working with me in the future.”
Li and Chief Zhang were speechless. ‘General Manager, can’t you speak tactfully? Please don’t say it as if our company is a scary organization that will eat people.’
