From Secretary to Capital Queen

Chapter-2

Lu Jiming walked quickly, his long legs making large strides. When Ning Meng chased after him, she had to run. Wearing a narrow - skirted professional suit, it was difficult for her to take big steps, so she had to secretly lift the sides of the skirt before starting to run.

As she passed by Yang Xiaoyang's work station, Yang Xiaoyang licked her lips at the sight of Ning Meng's legs and gave two thumbs - up like a silly child.

Ning Meng really wanted to strangle this funny girl.

Catching up with Lu Jiming, Ning Meng steadied her breath, found the right tone, and said in a tone that seemed like she wasn't trying to tattle, "Boss, why don't you just fire Director Ren?"

Lu Jiming stopped not far from the meeting room door and tilted his head to look at Ning Meng. His eyes, hidden behind thick eyelashes, began to act in a way that seemed both teasing and flirting, unconsciously.

"Why should I fire him?"

Ning Meng subtly shifted her gaze away from those eyes, not being lured by his unintentional look. "He made decisions on his own."

Lu Jiming glanced at Ning Meng sideways, with a hint of annoyance on his face. "Who said he made decisions on his own? I told him to do it!"

Ning Meng feigned surprise. "You told him to? Then why are you still scolding them..."

Lu Jiming let out a cold sneer. "Put away your fake expression! Don't act like you know nothing! I'm being forced to make additional margin calls because of the secondary market. I'm losing real money. Can't I find someone to scold and vent my anger?"

Ning Meng: "..."

This boss with a serious "bossy syndrome" seemed to have gotten even worse.

Taking advantage of the stop, Lu Jiming put on his suit jacket and buttoned his shirt. Ning Meng handed him his tie.

"How's your tie - tying skills coming along?" Lu Jiming looked down at Ning Meng with a haughty gaze.

"......Still... not so good..."

Lu Jiming immediately crumpled the tie into a ball and stuffed it back to Ning Meng viciously.

"Then what are you giving it to me for? Do you want me to tie it myself? Are my hands for this kind of thing?!" Lu Jiming raised his well - proportioned fingers, which clearly had never done any menial work, and growled in a voice filled with self - pity.

Ning Meng: "..." Why hasn't his hand been chopped off?

Before entering the meeting room, Lu Jiming suddenly stopped and turned around, and said fiercely to Ning Meng, "Hurry up and learn it! Otherwise, I'll fire you!"

Ning Meng lowered her head, adjusted her glasses, and hid the glimmer of determination that flashed in her eyes.

Go ahead and fire me if you have the guts. I actually wish for it.

After graduating from university, Ning Meng joined Jiming Capital. So far, she has been working here for three years.

From the age of 22 to 25, she dedicated the best years of her youth, when hormones should be surging, to this stubborn and volcanic president, Lu Jiming.

In fact, she majored in finance in university, not secretarial studies. When looking for a job after graduation, she aimed to work on projects. But on the day of the interview, unfortunately, Lu Jiming was in a rage because there was no capable secretary to work for him.

Liu Yitian, the administrative director who was being scolded harshly at that time, stumbled into the interview room, pointed at Ning Meng, the only female in the room, and said to the interviewer, "Give me her resume quickly!"

After briefly flipping through the resume, Liu Yitian tricked Ning Meng into taking the position of Lu Jiming's secretary.

And she has been in this position until today.

At that time, Liu Yitian was very sincere with Ning Meng. "Xiao Ning, this is a once - in - a - lifetime opportunity. Have you ever seen a new graduate get the chance to work directly with the top boss? So, Xiao Ning, work hard!"

At that time, Ning Meng felt a bit like she was seeing a wolf in sheep's clothing. But she thought, whatever, whether it's being a secretary or working on projects, having a job first is the most important thing. She could always transfer to another position in the future.

However, she was trapped in the secretary pit and couldn't get out. The main reason was that many people were trying to keep her there.

For example, Liu Yitian.

He told Ning Meng, "You must never jump ship or change positions. Without you as our 'guardian beast', the company would be tortured to death by the crazy Mr. Lu!"

It was later that Ning Meng realized how remarkable it was that she could stay in the position of Lu Jiming's personal secretary.

Before she came, because of Lu Jiming's hot temper and his serious "bossy syndrome", the longest - serving secretary who had served him closely lasted only two days short of three months.

That secretary was so close to getting the quarterly bonus but just couldn't hold on any longer...

When Liu Yitian temporarily sacrificed Ning Meng to be Lu Jiming's secretary, he didn't actually think she could last long. Others thought the same. But no one expected a miracle to happen.

Ning Meng created many myths in the "tragic" position of "Lu Jiming's secretary".

She only took three days to make Lu Jiming remember her name.

After a week, she managed to endure his furious scolding without being fired.

After a month, she was still there.

A year passed, and she was not only still in the position, but Lu Jiming also doubled her salary.

Now, three years have passed. She not only remains in the company but is also regarded as a mascot. She has completely mastered the way to deal with Lu Jiming.

Sometimes, Ning Meng self - deprecatingly thought that if she hadn't dressed herself in a dowdy and plain way, everyone might have thought she had used her body to conquer Lu Jiming.

In fact, she didn't want to be a mascot. Her original intention had never changed. She just wanted to work on projects and become an outstanding gold - medal investor in the future.

Three years have passed. As time went by, this idea became stronger and stronger in her heart.

In the evening after work, Ning Meng returned home.

Calculating the time, it should be morning on the other side of the earth. Ning Meng turned on her computer and connected to a video call.

The video call was quickly answered. On the screen, You Qi, with a rabbit - ear headband on her head, was applying face cream.

Ning Meng let out a comfortable sigh.

What is a beauty? This is a beauty! The so - called 360 - degree flawless beauty is just one - sided in front of You Qi. Only someone like her, who can be admired from every angle in 3D, is truly beautiful.

You Qi was putting on makeup while asking Ning Meng, "Mengmeng, why are you calling me so early? What's up?"

Ning Meng untied her hair, took off her glasses, and stretched.

"You said you were coming back to China soon. When exactly is that?"

You Qi immediately became excited. "This time it's for real! Lao He can take me back after he finishes the last project and hands over the work. I know you miss me, and I miss you too, muah!"

Ning Meng rolled her eyes and snorted. "I've been hearing this for three years!"

You Qi also snorted. "Well, you said you were going to change positions and work on projects. I've been hearing that for three years too, but you're still a secretary!"

Ning Meng was stunned for a moment. "Is that the impression I gave you?" It made her seem like she was very attached to the secretary position.

You Qi nodded with a humming sound. "I don't think it's just me. That's probably the impression you give to everyone. Who knows if you're reluctant to leave your volcanic boss?"

Ning Meng shuddered.

"Stop joking! I'm not a masochist!"

After chatting for a while more, Ning Meng ended the video call.

Then she opened a document and typed "Position Transfer Application".

It was time to make up her mind. If she didn't, she would become a person who didn't keep her word in You Qi's eyes.

Tomorrow! If Lu Jiming is in a good mood tomorrow, she must find an opportunity to talk to him and make things clear!
