From Secretary to Capital Queen

Chapter-5

It was already dark when Ning Meng left the hospital. She had a bowl of noodles at Yonghe King and then got on the bus.

There was an empty seat in the last row, and Ning Meng walked over and sat down. She leaned her head against the window and watched the daily scenery of the traffic - congested streets as the bus crawled along.

It seemed to be congested here all the time.

Whenever a project partner came to talk about work, they couldn't help but complain to her, "This area around Wangfujing and Dongdan is really congested! I set out two hours early, but I almost still arrived late!"

But every time, they would also say enviously, "No wonder. This is the center of Beijing! Companies that can be located here are really something. And people who work here are all top - notch elites in the industry, just like you, President Ning!"

Ning Meng leaned against the window and smiled slightly. What a cruel misunderstanding.

What did those prosperous scenes and the elegant demeanor of the elites have to do with her? She wasn't President Ning. She was just a secretary.

Outside the window, a Maybach glided by. Ning Meng unconsciously straightened up and looked up. After seeing that it wasn't Lu Jiming's car, she leaned her head back against the window again.

Then she laughed at herself.

She was really neurotic. Working for so long had made her so nervous that she thought every Maybach passing by was Lu Jiming's, and she thought she would have to fight wits with this boss -y syndrome patient again.

She leaned back against the window and, in the swaying of the bus, under the orange streetlights outside, she started thinking about what kind of person Lu Jiming really was.

If there was a rating for duplicity, this guy would definitely be at the full - level. His words were sharper than a knife's edge, but his heart was as soft as warm tofu. He seemed extremely difficult to serve and mean, but when you thought about it carefully, he was actually a good person.

Ning Meng quickly overthrew the conclusion that "Lu Jiming is a good person" with gritted teeth.

After arriving home, Ning Meng read some business books and took a bath. It was almost eleven o'clock.

She turned off the lights and was about to go to sleep.

Just as she was almost asleep, her phone rang piercingly.

Ning Meng picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID was Lu Jiming's.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt that seeing a Maybach on the bus earlier was an ominous omen.

Sure enough -

After answering the call, a voice that wasn't Lu Jiming's came from the other end of the phone. "Hello? Little Ning Meng, I'm your boss's buddy. We've met before! Now your boss has drunk some wine and is a bit dizzy. He can't drive. I'll send you the address later. Come and pick him up quickly and pay the bill for him!"

Without giving Ning Meng a chance to refuse, the call was immediately hung up, and then a text message with the address stabbed into the inbox.

Ning Meng looked at the text message, gritted her back molars, and exhaled angrily.

She had just thought he was a good person. Hmph! He's not a good person at all! Scumbag!

Ning Meng reluctantly got out of the bed and took a taxi to a bar in Sanlitun.

She was seething with anger all the way. She hated herself for not being able to say no straightforwardly.

Why couldn't she refuse? How many times had this happened! She was almost familiar with all of his cronies because of this.

She thought perhaps it was because she didn't refuse firmly the first time he asked her to do something like this. For some things, if you don't refuse clearly and decisively the first time, it will be impossible to say no later.

Since the first time she went to the bar in the middle of the night to pick him up, she had gradually spoiled his "bossy syndrome" habit. He thought that besides working hours, he could still order her around after work. As long as he gave her a raise from time to time, all his excessive demands became her duties.

Ning Meng gritted her back molars, filled with resentment.

All bosses' "bossy syndrome" habits are spoiled by obedient subordinates.

She made up her mind in her heart. She really couldn't continue being a secretary like this. She was never a confident person, and these three years of being Lu Jiming's secretary had made her into a submissive person. She was almost forgetting what it meant to have the confidence and bottom line as a person.

She was almost unable to say the word "no".

When Ning Meng arrived at the bar entrance and was about to go in, two beams of light suddenly lit up behind her, followed by a honking sound that seemed very annoying.

She turned around, squinted, and looked sideways. It was Lu Jiming's Maybach.

She turned and walked towards the headlights. When she got closer, she was shocked to find that there was more than just Lu Jiming in the car.

There were also two of his playboy friends.

Standing outside the car, Ning Meng heard Lu Jiming, who was sitting in the passenger seat, say without hesitation to the two people in the back seat, "Don't bother taking a taxi! Later, let my secretary take you home one by one. She's a great driver! I paid for her to learn at the driving school!" As he spoke, he looked so proud that it was annoying.

Ning Meng really wanted to pick up a wine bottle, break the bottom, and stab this drunkard with the broken glass. It was as if she was his mistress. All he did was reimburse her for the tuition at Dongfang Fashion Driving School.

The two people in the back seat turned to see Ning Meng and greeted her.

"Yo! Little Ning Meng! Long time no see. You're so beautiful!"

Ning Meng's heart skipped a beat when she heard the word "beautiful".

"Are those new glasses? They're so beautiful!"

Ning Meng's heart stopped skipping, and a forest of sharp knives seemed to grow in her heart. She really wanted to throw these two playboys into it and turn them into sieves.

But on her face, she forced a smile. "You're too kind, gentlemen."

Ning Meng opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

Lu Jiming leaned over with a smirk and said to her, "Come on, Ning Meng. Send these two handsome guys home first. Don't let them praise you for nothing!"
