Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Early Promotion to Full Employee

Chen Xinyue found their relationship amusing.

Li Muchen rarely acted serious, "I’m serious, do you want to consider working at my place?"

Chen Xinyue shook her head immediately, "This job was recommended by my mentor. She’s still counting on me to help her restore her reputation! What would it look like if I jumped ship now? Besides, people should have a sense of contract; since I’ve already passed the interview, I should see it through to the end, right?"

This answer was within Li Muchen’s expectations, and she sighed regretfully, "Since you said so, I won’t insist, but if you’re not happy at SY, remember to contact me, okay?"

"Got it!" Chen Xinyue made an "OK" gesture.

Li Muchen brightened up again, "It’s almost time to get off work, let’s go, have a meal together!"

"Then I should let Mr. Xiao know first."

Li Muchen urged her quickly, "Quickly go and come back, just say it’s on my account."

Chen Xinyue hurried to find Xiao Jinlin.

As soon as she entered the office, she noticed the other party had a displeased expression, not knowing how to start the conversation.

Tang Ming quickly asked, "What happened? What did Miss Li say? Secretary Chen, when did you and Miss Li get so close?"

So many questions!

Chen Xinyue sighed helplessly, "We met while shopping that day, hit it off immediately. Just now she was joking, purposely trying to annoy Mr. Xiao. Now she’s asking me out for dinner, can I leave early?"

Xiao Jinlin’s expression visibly softened, and he took out a card again, "Take it with you, just in case that crazy woman suddenly decides to make things difficult for you."

Tang Ming quickly gave her a wink.

Chen Xinyue respectfully accepted it and turned to leave.

Once the office door closed, Tang Zheng sighed, "My goodness, Secretary Chen is really something, even someone as tough as Miss Li has taken a liking to her. President, we should keep such a talent. How about we let Secretary Chen become permanent early?"

Xiao Jinlin unusually didn’t object, "Go inform the director of the HR department."

While having dinner, Chen Xinyue received a notification from the HR director asking her to sign the permanent contract. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

She was so overwhelmed by the massive surprise that her head spun. After confirming repeatedly, she cheered excitedly.

"So happy! What’s the good news?" Li Muchen examined her suspiciously.

Chen Xinyue told the truth, "I’ve become permanent! I’m so happy!"

Li Muchen paused for a moment and then laughed, "You don’t think Xiao Jinlin took what I just joked about seriously, do you? My goodness! How bizarre is he!"

Chen Xinyue raised her glass, "Thanks to you, here’s to you."

Li Muchen took a sip of red wine and mused, "But seriously, if Xiao Jinlin was willing to make an exception for you, could it be...he’s taken a liking to you?"

"Pfft!" Chen Xinyue spat out the red wine in her mouth, fortunately to the side, avoiding any mess.

She glared angrily, "Li Muchen! What crazy talk is that! Since I joined the company, although my performance hasn’t been spectacular, I have contributed to its development. Just yesterday, I accompanied Mr. Xiao to a business dinner and secured a big deal. Mr. Xiao is my mentor, don’t get silly ideas all the time!"

"Oh." Li Muchen raised an eyebrow, propping her chin while sizing Chen Xinyue up, "But seriously, if I were a man and had such a talented and beautiful woman by my side, it would be hard not to be tempted!"

Chen Xinyue shook her head speechlessly, "It’s hard to say for ordinary people, but Mr. Xiao has seen all kinds of talented and beautiful women, I’m very self-aware!"

Seeing how clearly she understood things, Li Muchen liked her even more.

After they finished eating and parted ways, Chen Xinyue immediately returned to the company to find the HR director to sign the contract.

Before the afternoon was over, she had already become a formal employee of the secretary department.

At that moment, her suspended heart was finally at ease, and now she could contact the intermediary to reclaim her apartment.

Before work hours were over, Chen Xinyue quickly called the intermediary, got the tenant’s contact info, and discussed reclaiming the apartment with the tenant.

It just so happened that the lease contract had expired, and the tenant originally intended to renew it, but Lin Qin had been delaying, making it convenient for Chen Xinyue’s arrangements.

After both parties agreed on the time to reclaim the apartment,

Chen Xinyue geared up to continue working.

When Xiao Jinlin came out of the break room, he saw Chen Xinyue sitting at her workstation, typing on the keyboard with a serious face. With a casual glance, he noticed it was all in English and knew she was busy with work matters.

His expression softened considerably.

Chen Xinyue only remembered she hadn’t returned the card until after work and went to the president’s office promptly.

As Cao Hui saw her leave, he immediately sidled up to Lin Fei, "Did you hear? Secretary Chen has become permanent!"

"What? How is that possible?" Lin Fei almost dropped her jaw, "Who told you that?"

Cao Hui clicked his tongue, "The HR director is a buddy of mine, and there’s nothing secret about it, so how do you think I know?"

Lin Fei was dumbfounded, "Oh my god...Secretary Chen is amazing! How did she do it?"

Cao Hui shook his head, "You’re close with Assistant Tang, why don’t you ask him?"

Lin Fei glanced at the assistant’s office, couldn’t resist, and really went in.

Tang Ming hadn’t rested yet, and when he saw her coming, he immediately sat up, "Sister Fei, what’s up?"

Lin Fei trotted over, "I heard Secretary Chen became permanent?"

Tang Ming gave a thumbs up, "You guys are really something! You got wind of it by the afternoon!"

"Wow! So it’s true? I was just shocked; according to our company’s regulations, the probation period is three months, and Secretary Chen became permanent after just half a month. That’s unbelievable!" Lin Fei’s voice had a hint of acidity.

Thinking back to when she first joined SY, how much pressure she was under, only sleeping six hours a day for the sake of becoming permanent, working diligently without slacking, and even then her assessment was just satisfactory, barely becoming permanent.

Because of this, she got along well with everyone in the secretary department, afraid someone might give her a hard time and kick her out.

Now there’s a young and beautiful female secretary who became permanent in less than half a month; it’s hard for her not to have thoughts.

Tang Ming took a deep breath, sipped some water, and said unhurriedly, "Rules are set in stone, but people are flexible; talent can break the norm. Do you know how much Secretary Chen has accomplished in these two weeks?"

Lin Fei thought carefully and realized Chen Xinyue seemed to always stay in the office, and she only went out once or twice, purely for business.

She honestly shook her head.

"Let me tell you, last night she went with us to meet clients and secured that fifty million contract. In that setting, it was clear the other party had bad intentions, yet Secretary Chen managed it with grace. And Miss Li, you know her situation, now she’s become Secretary Chen’s close friend, and today, she even wanted to poach Secretary Chen in front of Mr. Xiao."

Wouldn’t you break the rules to let Secretary Chen become permanent if you were the president?"

Tang Ming asked in return.
