My Life with Narration-Chapter 331 - 328: Secretary Su Qing

Who would have thought that the outwardly aloof and capable woman had such a side to her? Is this what they mean when they say the colder the exterior, the crazier the interior?

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shen Yi in a long dress, singing and dancing with evident good spirits. Judging by her steps, it was in a girlish style. The only thing lacking was that she wasn’t wearing a JK uniform, otherwise, it would really resemble a dance video from certain websites.

A tall, curvy, outwardly aloof female boss secretly dancing to anime music at home? How incredible!

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The elegant and graceful landlady is secretly a great driver.

She speeds in a way even a grown man like him can’t keep up with. She knows some classic series of island films inside out. Shen Yi just likes this stuff, which isn’t too outrageous, and is probably normal.

On the couch in the living room, Shen Yi pretended to drink water, but was actually stealing glances at him. Su Qing also felt a little awkward sitting in front of the computer.

"Stop staring, just say what you have to say!"

Unable to stand her gaze any longer, Su Qing had to speak up.

"Just... pretend you didn’t see anything earlier, got it?" Shen Yi took a deep breath and said seriously.

"Is that how you ask for a favor?"

"I don’t care, if you dare say anything or let a third person know, I’ll take you down with me. Also, delete the video from earlier right away!" Shen Yi glared at him.

She knew Su Qing had cameras at home, but not out of any weird fetish, just purely for safety.

There are monitors at the door and in the living room aimed at the entrance; these were actually installed when Wen Nanqing rented the place.

Not to mention, Tang Nan was threatened back then.

"Delete, delete, delete. Is that okay now? But really, I couldn’t tell, President Shen, that you had such an interest. I always thought speaking into your ear would make you weak, that quirk is quite odd, and now it seems I underestimated you!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi immediately stood up, came barefoot behind him, and started shaking his neck with her hands: "You still dare speak? Don’t bring it up again, delete it quickly! I’m watching you!"

Having no choice, Su Qing had to pull up the earlier footage on the computer. When he seemed to want to admire it more, Shen Yi increased the strength of her grip.

Frightened, he quickly pressed the delete key.

"Alright, the evidence of your embarrassment has been deleted by me, and no one will know in the future. Let go now!"

"Hmph, consider yourself smart!" Shen Yi snorted.

Originally, when she was younger, she liked singing and dancing, but her family did not nurture these hobbies. After entering university, she began to pursue money, and time flew to where she is now. Despite that, sometimes she secretly watches anime dances on her phone with that kind of cute music she likes.

But it was just a small hobby of hers, and later becoming a boss required holding some authority, so this hobby needed to be well hidden. Not even Wen Nanqing, Tang Nan, and others knew about it. Who would have guessed it would get exposed today?

"Where did you stay last night? I saw the light in your room was off the whole time!" Shen Yi asked, calming down.

"The small inn next to the police station, 60 bucks a night, very cheap!"

"Small inn? Why didn’t you stay at a hotel? It’s not like you don’t have money?"

"Sis, it’s close to the police station, you know. The meeting at the police station lasted until after midnight yesterday," Su Qing explained helplessly.

That’s the mindset of wealthy people, never considering convenience, only comfort.

"I see, but today through the monitor, I saw Auntie came by again. What do you say about that?"

"How would I know? But you don’t need to worry. My mom probably won’t come by tomorrow; she’s just been a bit excited these past couple of days. By the way, have you sorted out everything at the company?"

Shen Yi nodded: "Xu Feng’s goods have been sent for processing, and after our partners knew the problem was resolved, they stopped calling to inquire. Do you have anything coming up?"

"No, what’s up?"

"If not, I’m planning to adjust your position a bit?"

"Position? Me?" Su Qing was a bit confused.

What position does he have? Da Huang is the company’s employee, not him. He’s a freelancer, okay.

"Yes, you. After all, you hang around the company all day, and now that Da Huang has been taken back home by Ning Jie, you should have a position at the company."

"No way, in that case, I won’t go to the company tomorrow. I’ll go to the police station, got plenty of work there too!"

"No way. Don’t you want to know what position I’m offering you? Less work, more money, flexible time. Didn’t you say last time my pay was too low? This time, I’m promoting you!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing squinted his eyes, a voiceover ringing in his head.

[The wealthy Auntie Shen is ready to launch a tentative attack on you, and this position will help you take a shortcut to success.]

Upon hearing this, Su Qing couldn’t help but be a little surprised. This was quite rare. As they got to know each other, the voiceover about Shen Yi was becoming harder to trigger, let alone such an important hint.

"What position?"

Seeing him ask, Shen Yi cleared her throat twice and said seriously, "Ahem, how do you feel about... Secretary...?"

Su Qing: ???

"Secretary?"

"Yeah, yeah, secretary and part-time driver, a monthly salary of twenty thousand. The usual job is to drive me to and from work, the workplace is my office. Order takeout for me, pour some water; of course, as a friend, if you have anything, you can leave anytime without asking for leave. Occasionally when I go out to discuss cooperation, you can come with me, that’s pretty much it. The salary can be deducted from the stock market funds." Shen Yi chuckled.

Ever since Deng Jie took on the role of business manager, her secretary position has been vacant, and she had long intended for Su Qing to take this slot, also making it convenient for her to recharge at work. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

But upon hearing this, Su Qing’s face displayed the expression of a subway uncle looking at a phone.

"Is the secretary job you’re talking about legitimate? It’s not one of those ’when there’s work, the secretary works; when there’s none... ahem, that kind of secretary,’ is it?"

Shen Yi: ...

"You wish. I just don’t think I can let you help me with such a big favor for nothing. Do you know what I’ve relied on to run a company all these years?"

"Brotherhood?"

"It’s knowing how to deal with people!" Shen Yi got a bit ruffled.

Bullshit brotherhood, she wasn’t aiming to be the top dog in Tongluowan, what would she need brotherhood for? Doing business requires not just a shrewd mind but also being adept with people. Human connections are hard to settle but maintaining them well is the key to long-term success.

"And as for the ’when there is work, secretary works,’ can you even handle the work if I give it to you? Enough talk, are you in or not? If you agree and perform well, the money in the stock market account that’s mine is yours as a year-end bonus. I don’t care how much is in there; if you lose it, that’s your problem!" Shen Yi waved her hand, delivering the final decisive blow to him.

At this time, Su Qing’s stock market account had nearly three hundred, two-thirds of which belonged to Shen Yi, roughly two hundred. Are bosses nowadays this generous?

But what he didn’t know was that President Shen didn’t really care about this mere million at all, and up to now, she didn’t even know how much Su Qing had earned.

But the main thing is, this time Su Qing not only helped her avoid a huge loss but also made her earn two small targets. Although the money wasn’t all hers and there were two other shareholders, a mere one or two million wasn’t much—human relationships, after all.

"Deal, hello boss, are you thirsty boss, are your legs sore, I can give you a leg massage!"

Watching someone being defeated by her money, Shen Yi’s lips slightly curled up.

"Forget the legs, give me a shoulder rub instead! And fetch a basin of water for my feet while you’re at it!"

Su Qing: "No problem, but it’s after work hours now, so there’s an additional charge!"

Shen Yi: ...

The next morning, Su Qing drove Shen Yi’s Mercedes, taking on the role of driver.

He didn’t drive the business car, mainly because he hadn’t driven that kind of car; an extended business car and a sedan are clearly two different vehicles, unfamiliar ones could easily end up in an accident.

As soon as Shen Yi got to the company, she notified several department heads that Su Qing would be replacing Deng Jie as her secretary from now on.

This news didn’t mean much to the ordinary employees, but for the heads of each department, it carried different significance.

What’s a secretary? Just look at Deng Jie back then; she was President Shen’s confidant. Although she didn’t have much real power, even the department managers were very courteous to her.

But Deng Jie herself wasn’t surprised by this news, as if she had known it would happen all along.

Then there was Feng Yan and Old Wang; upon hearing the news, they exchanged a look, confirming their suspicions.

But there were also those who weren’t happy about it. Planning Department Manager Cui Bo looked as if he were grinding his teeth, glancing at Su Qing moving things into Shen Yi’s office with disdain, wishing he could rush up and fight to the death.

The old timers in the company mostly knew that although Cui Bo seemed effeminate, there was nothing wrong with his sexual orientation and he had always had an interest in Shen Yi.

No one knew if he genuinely thought he had a shot or if he was just thick-skinned; in any case, he didn’t mind others saying he was a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

But at this point, he seemed a bit fragile.

"Bah, pretty boy, what’s so great about that? Does he even know President Shen’s habits? He can’t do anything, just wait, it won’t be long before he gets fired. Does he really think being a secretary is so easy?" Cui Bo spat as he saw Su Qing walk into Shen Yi’s office, speaking with extravagant gesturing, even stomping in annoyance.

Feng Yan, observing from the side, glanced at Cui Bo, then at the now-closed office door, and couldn’t help but chuckle:

"Manager Cui, why don’t you say that in front of President Shen? I actually think Little Su is nice, good-looking, and quite manly. At least he looks like a man. Oh right, do you know there’s a big bed in President Shen’s office? I bet lying down on it is really comfortable!

Speaking of which, Manager Cui, if you were a man..."

"What do you mean ’if’? I am a man," Cui Bo corrected.

"I said if you were a man!"

"I am a man, no ifs. What do you mean, do you think I’m not manly? I think you shouldn’t have this doubt, and your question has seriously hurt my self-esteem. I’m warning you, Feng Yan, if you dare to say that again, don’t blame me for turning against you, humph! Annoying!"

With that, Cui Bo stomped his foot, glared at Feng Yan, and angrily walked away.

This stunt genuinely left Feng Yan in shock. Still calling herself an ’old mother,’ yet she claimed to be a man? Where did that confidence come from?

"You really aren’t a man!"
