From Secretary to Capital Queen

Chapter-14

You Qi listened intently, and when she heard the exciting parts, her hands involuntarily formed into something like the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" pose, with her meticulously manicured nails appearing somewhat sharp. "I really want to scratch that despicable Qiu guy for you! How dare he bully you like this!"

Ning Meng was deeply touched. She remembered that the last time You Qi had shown such a fierce reaction and wanted to help her was when she had just started working as Lu Jiming's secretary. Back then, she was so overwhelmed by Lu Jiming's demands that she felt like she had to re - evaluate her life. She still didn't know how she had managed to persevere under Lu Jiming's high - pressure environment.

Ning Meng told You Qi that Lu Jiming had also talked to her, trying to pressure and entice her to go back and be his secretary. You Qi was stunned for a moment.

"It's not uncommon for secretaries to cling to wealthy bosses, but for a boss to cling to a secretary... What's going on here? A Meng, is he out of his mind?"

Ning Meng got annoyed. "Why is it so hard to believe that someone would be interested in me? Am I that unappealing?" But then, after taking a look at herself in the mirror, she calmed down and said, "Forget it. He's probably just crazy."

You Qi disagreed. "Don't say that. You're not bad at all. If you style your bangs and take off your glasses, you're a pretty girl! Why are you so lacking in confidence?"

Ning Meng was left speechless. She couldn't remember who had just said that if a boss was interested in her, he must be crazy.

Since the "encounter" with Lu Jiming on the way to get water, Ning Meng found that Qiu Junlin was making even more trouble for her. After careful analysis, she had reason to believe that Lu Jiming had hinted at something to Qiu Junlin, making Qiu think that if he could drive her away quickly, he would get promoted, get a raise, and take charge of several project departments, thus achieving success in his career.

There were times when Qiu Junlin made Ning Meng so angry that she seriously considered going back to be Lu Jiming's secretary just to shock that oddball. However, such thoughts only flashed through her mind briefly.

There were bound to be some obstacles on the path to progress. No one could achieve success easily. Just look at Sun Wukong's journey with Tang Seng to obtain the scriptures. He encountered all kinds of demons and monsters, far more than she did.

Ning Meng's second encounter with Lu Jiming was in front of the elevator. This time, it was a genuine accident. It had been almost a week since the first "encounter". Lu Jiming was waiting for the elevator with Xu Sitian at that time.

Ning Meng quietly stood behind them. Seeing Xu Sitian, Ning Meng couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Xu Sitian was really beautiful. Her back view was graceful, and she exuded an air of elegance and elitism. Standing next to Lu Jiming, they really lived up to the description of "a perfect couple".

Looking at their beautiful figures, Ning Meng recalled a juicy piece of gossip that Yang Xiaoyang had shared with her during lunch break a few days ago.

"A Meng, A Meng, do you remember that rich and beautiful Xu Sitian? She's been coming to see Mr. Lu every day lately. Even I, with my terrible eyesight, can tell that she likes him!"

Ning Meng accidentally bit the inside of her cheek. She thought, she must be losing weight from all this stress lately. She took a sip of water to rinse away the taste of blood in her mouth.

Ning Meng said objectively, "That girl is beautiful, has a great figure, and is highly educated. She speaks clearly and doesn't act coquettishly. Besides, she's childhood friends with Mr. Lu, and their fathers are said to be bosses of listed companies. They're well - matched in terms of family background. And in terms of appearance, they're a perfect pair. I bet their future children will be stunning even from the embryonic stage."

Yang Xiaoyang didn't agree with this conclusion. "Bah! What's the use of just being good - looking? Both of them have bad tempers. Their future child will probably be just as fiery - tempered!" After taking a breath, Yang Xiaoyang sighed to Ning Meng, "Alas, they're all wealthy people who live high above us. They're really in a different world from us ordinary workers. It's a good thing it's modern society now. In the old days, they'd be the masters, and we'd be the servants."
