    On Monday, Qiao Qiao took office.

    Although she was an official not much older than Zhima, and the area under her jurisdiction was only a CEO’s office, she was still very excited. She got up early, took a shower, put on makeup, and specially put on a mature suit.

    After she had finished cleaning up, Song Qiyan also woke up.The two usually went back to their villa in the countryside to rest on weekends, and stayed at the WAWA headquarters during the week, eating, living and sleeping together. Occasionally, Qiao Qiao would have the illusion that he and Song Qiyan were married.

    At 8:30 in the morning, the driver arrived at the villa on time. Song Qiyan was tying his tie in front of the mirror. Qiao Qiao quickly offered him the dark cashmere coat that he would wear later.

    The man smiled at her when he took the clothes: “Thank you.”

    His teeth were clean and even, and his whole body exuded the fragrance of mint after bathing. The warm sunlight splashed around him, and Qiao Qiao’s heart skipped a beat unexpectedly.

    When getting into the car, she took two quick steps and took the lead in helping Song Qiyan open the door.

    “What?”

    Qiao Qiao: “Hey, you are the leader today.”

    He smiled and didn’t refuse, and sat in the car obediently. Qiao Qiao made sure the door was closed before getting into the passenger seat.

    As soon as Song Qiyan entered the WAWA lobby, both the front desk and the employees straightened their backs unconsciously, but most of them did not dare to say hello directly due to their low status, so they only watched him enter the elevator silently.

    Qiao Qiao, who was following him, naturally became the target of watching.

    In the past, this kind of watching made Qiao Qiao feel uncomfortable, and she would speed up her steps to escape from everyone’s sight.Today, she didn’t feel this way, and instead enjoyed it a little bit.

    In the final analysis, she still had a guilty conscience and knew that she got this treatment only because of Song Qiyan’s light, so her palms were sweaty and her back felt like rays.Now that she has a serious job and is no longer a casual worker, her chin unconsciously raised a few centimeters.

    The elevator arrived just in time, and Qiao Qiao blocked the elevator door to let Song Qiyan go in.

    The man looked at her with a half-smile and walked in unhurriedly.

    When Qiao Qiao saw him like that, he immediately didn’t know which leg to move, and his hands stopped in mid-air awkwardly.But then I thought about it, although Song Qiyan usually protects her, the two of them have a superior-subordinate relationship in the company, and of course the employees have to work hard for the leader.

    After thinking about this, she felt much calmer and stood next to Song Qiyan obediently.

    “Hey, Mr. Song, wait a minute.”

    Just as the elevator door was about to close, a figure flashed in. Xiao Manyu took a breath, reached out and gently brushed her fluffy and delicate curls, and said with a smile: “Good morning.”

    Qiao Qiao instantly felt that the look he had spent all morning doing was being outdone.

    She knew that she was short, so she specially chose a pair of shoes with heels, and did not dare to choose shoes that were too high.It turned out that Xiao Manyu was over 1.7 meters tall and could run and jump on 9-centimeter high heels. Qiao Qiao had just seen her three meters away, and he rushed in in the blink of an eye.

    Song Qiyan: “Morning.”

    Qiao Qiao also smiled politely and silently said ‘I am an employee’ N times.

    “It seems that today is my lucky day.” Xiao Manyu seemed not to see Qiao Qiao, her eyes were only fixed on Song Qiyan. She took out a document from her handbag and handed it over with a smile, “They will envy me. I was the first to get Mr. Song’s signature, so I don’t have to apply for it at all.”

    Qiao Qiao took the document before Song Qiyan raised his hand.

    Xiao Manyu looked at her strangely: “Miss Qiao? This is a company document.”

    The implication is what are you grabbing?Are you worthy of intervening in the company’s affairs?

    Qiao Qiao smiled: “Oh, you don’t know, right now, I am responsible for sorting out Mr. Song’s documents, so just give them to me.”

    Xiao Manyu looked surprised: “When…”

    “Yesterday.” Qiao Qiao felt like he was out of breath, “Mr. Song directly hired me.”

    “I see.” Xiao Manyu stared at her and said meaningfully, “Congratulations, you are very suitable for this kind of job.”

    Qiao Qiao knew that the other party was teasing her for doing such unskilled work, but she pretended not to hear it: “I think so too.”

    The two of them were not giving in to each other, and they reached the floor with a “ding”. Xiao Manyu smiled as if he didn’t care and went out gracefully.

    Qiao Qiao quickly pressed the door button, fearing that she would come back again.

    “Is this important?” She handed the document to Song Qiyan.

    The latter looked at it and said: “It’s a new project. It’s not important, but if I don’t sign it, it won’t be promoted later.”

    Qiao Qiao: “Very good, then sign it for her tomorrow.”

    Song Qiyan said amusedly: “It seems that your scope of authority does not include this.”

    Qiao Qiao paused, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him hard on the lips.

    The man licked his lips: “Included now.”

    After working all morning, Qiao Qiao came to a conclusion: her job is indeed easy.

    When Song Qiyan was around, she only had to help the man make tea and coffee.When Song Qiyan was away, she would tidy up the desktop, remove dust, and throw unnecessary documents into the shredder.

    The only trouble is that her immediate boss likes to make some strange requests… such as suddenly asking her to lift her top while she is immersed in work…

    But after all, this was the condition agreed upon from the beginning, and Qiao Qiao had no choice but to comply.

    In the afternoon, Song Qiyan went out, and Qiao Qiao felt a little bored being alone, so he simply wandered around the building to eat.

    When passing by the secretary’s office, I heard a series of laughter coming from inside, and it seemed that they were having a lively conversation.Song Qiyan was not here, and they were all young girls, so it was inevitable that they would take some time off from their busy schedule to tease and joke with each other.

    Qiao Qiao felt itchy after hearing this, so he smiled and opened the door: “What are you talking about?”

    Unexpectedly, when everyone saw her, they all fell silent. They either buried their heads in typing on the keyboard or stared at the screen. The relaxed and happy atmosphere just now was swept away, replaced by a deathly silence.

    “Uh.” Qiao Qiao didn’t expect that he would be so unpopular, so he deliberately said in a joking tone, “I am also an employee now. I have no right to deduct your money, so don’t be afraid of this.”

    After she said this, the atmosphere in the secretary’s room relaxed a little, and someone came up to her: “Excuse me, please come in and sit down.”

    Qiao Qiao recognized this girl. She was responsible for taking care of Song Qiyan’s life before, and it was from her memo that Qiao Qiao found out about Binghua.

    “Hi.” Qiao Qiao took the initiative to say hello, “Why haven’t I seen you in the past few days?”

    “Because I am no longer Mr. Song’s personal secretary. Now I only do some uploading and issuing tasks.” The other party smiled a little reluctantly.

    “Ah? Why?”

    “Failed to abide by the company’s confidentiality regulations.” She obviously didn’t want to talk about this topic much.

    Qiao Qiao said “Oh”, vaguely guessing that it might have something to do with the brooch, and he didn’t know how to speak, so he had to stay silent.

    “I’ll make you some tea.”

    “I’m sorry about your work…”

    The young secretary shook his head, “It’s my own problem.”

    As soon as she left, Qiao Qiao felt that the atmosphere began to freeze again, and it was obvious that he was the culprit of this situation.

    “Ah, by the way, my work over there has been completed. Do you need any help?” It was she who broke the deadlock and took the initiative to express her kindness.

    “I don’t have anything here…”

    “Me neither.”

    After being rejected one after another, Qiao Qiao was not discouraged: “Then do you want to drink milk tea? I know a new store has opened nearby with a good reputation.”

    This time there was a commotion in the secretary room. The girls looked panicked and waved their hands repeatedly: “How can I let you buy it? We should buy it.”

    “Yeah, yeah, please don’t do that.”

    Qiao Qiao: “It should be normal for colleagues to have milk tea…”

    She emphasized the word ‘colleague’ specially.

    “By the way, I’m on my menstrual period today, so I can’t drink milk tea. I just drink hot water.” I don’t know who started to say this. Others also gave excuses such as “stomach discomfort” and “cannot eat sweets because of elevated blood sugar” as if they were waking up from a dream.To put it bluntly, there are 5 people in the secretary room, but none of them can drink a cup of milk tea.

    Qiao Qiao sighed in her heart. Today was her first day at work. She couldn’t ask others to get used to her identity change immediately. She could only do it slowly.

    “Then let me print it for you.” Qiao Qiao saw several documents lit up on the computer screen next to him, “Are these all for the meeting tomorrow?”

    “No, no, no, I’ll do it.” Someone quickly grabbed the mouse as if they were afraid of being a step too late. “There’s no need to rush these things. You don’t have to do it today. It will be the same tomorrow.”

    “Yeah, why are you working so hard?”

    Qiao Qiao frowned: “I just want to help, there’s no need to keep refusing, right?”

    She felt that she had spoken too harshly, and just as she was about to apologize, she saw the girls looking at each other and timidly saying, “Then…can I trouble you to water the flowers?”

    “Okay.” Qiao Qiao agreed as if he was afraid that they would regret it, took the kettle and went to the rooftop.

    She wanted to show that she was “quick at work”. In addition to watering the flowers, she also swept the rooftop and cleaned up all the dust and fallen leaves. She worked until she was sweating.

    After admiring his ‘results’ for a while, Qiao Qiao went downstairs to do business.

    Everyone in the secretary’s office probably didn’t expect that she not only did it but also did it so fast. They all clamored to see it, and Qiao Qiao proudly led them over.

    The rooftop has indeed taken on a new look, with dozens of pots of flowers neatly arranged, with sparkling water drops hanging on the leaves, bright and delicate.

    “Wow, the rooftop hasn’t been this clean for a long time.”

    “It’s so relaxing.”

    Qiao Qiao was a little embarrassed by the praise: “It’s just a little effort, it’s nothing.”

    One person suddenly said: “Hey, where did that pot of ‘Deadwood Spring’ go?”

    “It’s true, you were there this morning, why are you missing?”

    “It won’t be stolen, right? Come on, someone is going to turn off the surveillance.”

    Qiao Qiao didn’t know what ‘Deadwood Spring’ was, but looking at everyone’s nervous expressions, he knew that this pot of flowers seemed to be of great importance.

    “Miss Qiao, did you see it when you came up? There is a square purple clay flowerpot placed in the corner.”

    Qiao Qiao immediately had an impression: “That basin in the corner… I saw that there was only a piece of dry wood in it, so I took it out and threw it away.”

    She found that everyone looked at her suddenly strangely.

    “That’s a dead wood bonsai…” someone whispered, “Mr. Song specially asked someone to take pictures of it from Japan.”
