  Zuo Si’s smile instantly deepened with mockery.

  She sized Xu Weilai up from head to toe and, instead of addressing her as the ‘Girl Next Door’ in that warm and friendly manner that she used to adopt, she now appeared frigid and aloof.

  With no intention to say anything to Xu Weilai, Zuo Si retracted her gaze and glanced towards Zuo An again before she suddenly remarked ambiguously, “Zuo An, you’ll get burnt for playing with fire. Mark my words.”


  However, Zuo An merely raised his eyebrows and stared defiantly at her in silence.

  Just when both of them were caught in a standoff, Gu Yu and Assistant Lin came out of the meeting room. After Zuo Si noticed Gu Yu, she ignored Zuo An and walked over to him.

  Gu Yu swept one glance at Zuo An and his gaze seemed to linger on Xu Weilai for a fleeting moment before he walked past Zuo An and Xu Weilai to make his way towards the CEO’s office with Zuo Si and Assistant Lin.

  After they were some distance away, Zuo An then smiled and suggested, “Let’s go and familiarize ourselves with our office.”


  Xu Weilai nodded and agreed, “Ok.”


  The Vice President’s office was also located on the top floor but was in the opposite direction from the CEO’s office. One was on the left while the other was on the right and Xu Weilai followed Zuo An to their office at the end of the corridor on the right.

  While their office was slightly smaller than Gu Yu’s, it had all the necessary equipment. Xu Weilai’s desk was located close to the entrance and was very spacious.

  Xu Weilai could almost remember everything about this place after exploring around the office, for she often came here when she was still in a relationship with Gu Yu and was already familiar with the place.

  Shortly after Zuo An entered the office, his cell phone began to ring and he was caught up with an endless number of calls since then. As he seemed to have some urgent matters to discuss, he waved for Xu Weilai to leave the room.

  Zuo Si had yet to delegate any task to Xu Weilai since it was her first day at work and thus, she was at a loss as to what to do. After pondering about it for a moment, she got up and walked over to the pantry to make her boss a cup of coffee.

  This was probably a vital skill for a secretary.

  As it was Xu Weilai’s first time visiting the pantry, she only managed to locate the coffee machine after searching around for quite some time Just when she was trying to figure out how to use the machine, someone entered the pantry.

  Xu Weilai subconsciously looked up and realised that it was Assistant Lin.

  As she had always been on good terms with Assistant Lin, she beamed at him. But just when she was about to greet him, she noticed the icy expression on his face. Assistant Lin threw her one cold glance and, as if he couldn’t bear the thought of being in the same room as her, turned and left.

  Xu Weilai’s greeting remained stuck in her throat and her brows knitted into a frown.

  Assistant Lin had always been friendly with her and was still polite to her even after she had divorced Gu Yu. When Xu Weilai returned to China and bumped into him at the airport previously, he even took the initiative to greet her first and thus, Xu Weilai couldn’t wrap her mind around his sudden change in attitude.

  After a moment of hesitation, she called out, “Assistant Lin!”


  Assistant Lin paused briefly before he eventually turned around. His expression was frigid and he seemed rather angry as he retorted, “What do you want, Secretary Xu?”


  “Secretary Xu……” the words echoed in Xu Weilai’s mind.

  Xu Weilai could already tell from the way in which he addressed her that he had an issue with her.

  Xu Weilai’s smile was unflinching as she continued, “Assistant Lin, we’ll be colleagues from now on. This is my first time working in this profession and I wish to learn from you. Could I approach you for advice should I encounter any problems?”


  “Hah.”


  Assistant Lin, who was genuinely furious, became even more enraged by her words. Unable to keep his emotions in check, he instantly roared, “Miss Xu, it seems like I really misjudged you. I never expected you to be such a person.”
