39: Sis, Chen Qiu is my boss now!

“Yiyi, go call Deputy General Manager Tang Qin over."

Chen Qiu sat in the CEO's chair and instructed.

Xu Yi, holding a stack of newly retrieved documents, paused.

“Oh, okay..."

She hadn't fully processed it yet and nodded blankly.

Just like that, she became Chen Qiu's temporary secretary.

Xu Yi quickly ran out.

Following her notification, the Group's middle and senior management began constantly moving in and out of the President's Office.

When they went in, their expressions were solemn.

When they came out, their expressions varied, mostly showing contemplation.

Outside the office.

The ordinary employees outside were finding it hard to focus on work.

One by one, they craned their necks to peek toward the President's Office.

The atmosphere was very oppressive.

Everyone sensed an unusual development.

Until.

Ma Du of the Engineering Department, his face pale as paper and his legs weak, was practically dragged away by the disciplinary inspection personnel.

“Hiss..."

A collective gasp echoed through the office.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Everyone was amazed and yet felt lingering fear.

“This... the new official is setting three fires upon taking office."

“These fires are burning too fiercely."

“On his very first day, he took care of Manager Ma from the Engineering Department?"

Everyone understood clearly.

This newcomer, President Chen, with the mysterious background.

His methods were unusually tough.

“Do you guys know how Ma Du was finished?"

Someone asked mysteriously, lowering their voice.

“What else could it be? He just got greedy and stuck his hand out."

“His record hasn't been clean for a long time; I've been annoyed with him forever."

“Hey, could there be another hidden reason?"

A well-informed male colleague lowered his voice and made a gesture.

“You bet..."

“I heard that there's an intern in the Group who is the new President Chen's younger sister."

“That guy Ma Du, he was dishonest, and he previously harassed President Chen's sister..."

“Sister?!"

Everyone was shocked.

“Holy crap, seriously?"

“The interns under Ma Du... weren't there just those two new girls?"

The employees' gazes subconsciously shifted in unison toward the Engineering Department.

In the cubicle area where Ma Du used to be.

Xu Yujie was busy organizing documents, pretending to be very busy.

She felt it.

Over a dozen gazes were fixed on her like searchlights.

She raised her head.

“What are you... looking at me for?"

Xu Yujie felt creeped out and rolled her eyes speechlessly at the male colleagues next to her.

“Hehe, Little Xu, don't be nervous."

“Of course we know it's not you!" A male colleague chuckled slyly.

Having said that.

Their gazes simultaneously shifted back to the tightly closed door of the President's Office.

President Chen's “sister," Xu Yi, was inside.

“My heavens."

“Xu Yi was hiding her background well!"

“She usually seems quiet and reserved, but who knew she was such a big shot."

“I heard this new President is extraordinary!"

“Nonsense." Another colleague rolled his eyes. "Someone who can become our Group's major individual... Shareholder—how could they be ordinary? Didn't you see Director Wang accompanying him?"

“Little Xu."

The well-informed male colleague leaned closer to Xu Yujie again.

“Aren't you and Xu Yi university classmates? And roommates?"

“Have you... have you met President Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yujie shook her head blankly.

“I... I don't know."

“I guess... probably not."

Her heart was also filled with shock and confusion at this moment.

She and Xu Yi were classmates.

After starting the internship, they even shared a dorm room.

They were practically best friends who knew everything about each other.

She had also visited Xu Yi's home.

It was just a very ordinary rural family.

Even the house was an old-fashioned red brick house, and her parents were just ordinary people.

Furthermore, she had never heard that Xu Yi had a brother.

The only notable thing about their family... was probably that Xu Yi and her older sister, Xu Jia, were both very beautiful.

“Wait a minute."

A flash of realization suddenly struck Xu Yujie's mind.

“Yiyi's 'brother'...

“Could he be... her brother-in-law?!"

As soon as this thought popped up, Xu Yujie felt that everything made sense.

She had met Xu Yi's older sister, Xu Jia, a few times.

She was a great beauty.

Furthermore, she was a Relationship Manager at China Merchants Bank's Private Banking division.

Who were the people she interacted with there?

They were all multimillionaires.

Having a big shot boyfriend arrange a job for his sister-in-law and incidentally deal with Baldy Ma seems perfectly reasonable, right?

Xu Yujie's eyes lit up slightly.

She decided.

When Xu Yi came out later, she definitely had to interrogate her properly... Inside the President's Office.

A tall, elegant young woman wearing a black suit skirt stood before Chen Qiu.

Her voice was steady, carrying a pleasant, magnetic quality.

“...The above are the personnel changes from the Administration Department. Please review them."

Liu Qi.

Thirty-one years old.

Although she was unmarried.

She possessed an extreme 'young married woman' aura.

Mature, capable, and full of charm.

She was originally Deputy General Manager Tang Qin's secretary.

Now, Chen Qiu had directly transferred her to become the secretary of the President's Office.

Of course.

This transfer was definitely not because Chen Qiu was interested in Liu Qi.

It was purely because... this Yujie was very capable.

In the talent recommendations of that “Clearance Strategy,” Liu Qi's name was ranked first among secretary candidates.

The evaluation was: outstanding ability, meticulous mind, and high loyalty.

Naturally, the best should be kept for himself.

It wasn't just Liu Qi.

Chen Qiu spent the entire afternoon directly transferring several elites from various departments.

He established a President's Office team that reported only to him.

He was both the President.

And he held the complete proposal, that “Clearance Strategy.”

There was no reason for him to bury himself in work every day.

He only needed to follow the schedule in the proposal, divide the work, assign it to the President's Office team, and act as a hands-off boss!

Chen Qiu did not want to be permanently tied down to this office.

He was still thinking about blind dates and relying on them to farm rewards.

After all.

Even if the final results of the Cultural Industry Park were excellent.

They would still be finite.

But the wishes of his blind date partners were infinite.

After a whole afternoon of personnel transfers.

Chen Qiu stood up and stretched.

He prepared to go outside for a walk and get some air.

“President Chen."

Liu Qi closed her notebook.

She glanced at the line she had just written down in her notebook and said in a deep voice.

“Deputy President Tang and Deputy President Li have arranged a welcoming dinner for you tonight."

“Will you be attending?"

Chen Qiu smiled.

“Of course I'll attend."

“It's my first day in office, so let's all have a meal together."

“To foster some goodwill."

“Understood, President Chen."

Liu Qi nodded and immediately wrote it down in her notebook.

Chen Qiu was about to walk out of the office when he suddenly remembered something and looked back at Xu Yi, who was standing nearby.

“Yiyi, follow Liu Qi and learn well from now on. You'll temporarily serve as the Second Secretary!"

Xu Yi nodded vigorously upon hearing this.

Watching Chen Qiu leave the President's Office, Xu Yi felt somewhat dazed.

Everything that happened this afternoon felt like a dream.

She took out her phone and sent a message to her older sister.

“Sis, Brother Chen Qiu is actually my boss?!"
