Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 680 - 11: Old Huang and Secretary Liu

The secretary cheerfully went to the personnel office with their materials to handle the resignation procedures.

Meanwhile, Xie Rongzhao was in his office again in a fit of impotent rage.

Why impotent rage? By tradition, he should have just beaten the servant to death to resolve this. But in this absurd new world, beating people isn’t an option.

Feeling stifled, he could only smash another tablet.

At the same time, there’s another urgent matter pressing on him.

That is, recently two of his artists have caused trouble, attracting national attention. To resolve this quickly, he needs some powerful external aid.

And this powerful aid does exist, but they need to see sincerity. Though societies differ, expressing sincerity is roughly the same.

For example, he now needs to contemplate a marriage alliance with Miss Hai from the Hai Family, involving a stock exchange to ensure absolute support from them.

Thinking about this, Xie Rongzhao furrows his brow with disgust.

But, the more you dislike something, the more it comes.

At this moment, Miss Hai’s call reached his cellphone.

"President Xie, if there’s an intention to collaborate, I wonder if you have time tonight for dinner to chat?"

The female voice on the phone was seductive and tender, as if there were genuine feelings involved.

In his current weak position, Xie Rongzhao could only take a deep breath and agree.

He instinctively wanted to call the secretary over to arrange the evening invitation, menu, flowers, gifts, etc., but then suddenly remembered he had just dismissed the person.

After spinning around in the chaotic office twice, he could only quickly dial an internal line and scold the logistics personnel.

After all, with the CEO’s office in such a mess, was the company’s cleaning staff just freeloading?

Speaking of marriage alliances, Xie Rongzhao was actually not unfamiliar.

In his previous life, the Marquis Mansion he came from also relied on the favor of the Imperial Concubine, and marriage in the family was mostly a matter of consideration regardless of gender. Now, having changed places, he actually wasn’t that resistant.

But unfortunately, in this world, it’s really hard to find well-behaved girls.

He had heard of Miss Hai from the Hai Family, too; she’s shrewd with great vision—unexpectedly, once her old master passes, the family business will be solely hers.

If not for this, Xie Rongzhao wouldn’t have the patience to choose her as a match.

Regrettably, while a woman running a business might be excusable, she doesn’t know how to conduct herself. It’s said she started dating in high school.

Now at the advanced age of 24, she’s still unmarried and has continued to have four or five so-called boyfriends, living and eating together when the relationship was good, flaunting those pretty boys around. Especially unruly!

How could such a woman be fit to marry him?!

But now, given the circumstances, he had no choice but to bow his head.

This is why Xie Rongzhao once again thought of Chen Ningbai.

Because with a woman like Miss Hai as a wife—even if she gives birth and the paternity is confirmed—he couldn’t trust her fidelity.

Therefore, he still needs to find a good concubine.

Preferably one who is well-behaved, dignified, and understanding, and whose appearance matches his standards.

Counting the people he’s met over the years, only Chen Ningbai matches all the criteria and is considered well-behaved and dignified. When going out, she’s always dressed modestly and never wears sandals or anything revealing...

Thinking about it, he decided he should comfort himself quickly.

However, bringing someone to the mansion before marriage might undermine the wife’s dignity—the two are also involved in a collaboration—so he could only wrong the other party without a name or title, initially as a concubine. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Thinking this, he instinctively dialed the phone, intending to call the secretary over to handle it.

But just as he picked up the phone, he suddenly came to his senses—

Ha, the urgent matter now is to find a more competent secretary first!

...

With President Xie eagerly terminating employment and no disputes from the finance side, all procedures were completed surprisingly quickly.

The manager, while signing documents rapidly, asked enviously:

"Brother Liu, have you already found a place to move up in career? Which company is it? How’s the compensation? If it’s good, I wonder if I could get your referral?"

Secretary Liu looked baffled.

He always thought that working with President Xie was tough and difficult enough...

"But you folks in finance don’t communicate much with President Xie, why do you want to switch jobs?"
