Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When it was time to leave work, Chu Yi thought that the day’s work under low pressure was finally going to end, but she didn’t expect to be arranged to attend a drinking party with Song Ting.

“I can’t drink in my current condition,” Wang Lin said, rubbing her stomach in embarrassment, then blinked at Chu Yi.

“And you are?” Chu Yi mouthed “pregnant” and looked at Wang Lin with wide eyes.

Wang Lin didn’t hide it and said, “Yes, otherwise, they be in such a hurry to find a new secretary? Anyway, sooner or later, you’ll have to attend these kinds of social events. It’s a good thing to get used to them early. I have a dress that’s perfect for this occasion. You didn’t prepare for it today, so wear mine first.”

Typically, the boss would bring one of their people to socialize and drink. It was the secretary’s job to attend and help fend off the drinking.

Of course, the secretary’s attire should be suitable for the occasion. Wang Lin usually prepared several sets of outfits in the office.

After changing into a beige professional dress, Chu Yi felt a little uncomfortable. She usually preferred to wear pants, so wearing a skirt was still inconvenient for her.

Moreover, Chu Yi’s chest was one cup size larger than Wang Lin’s. When she wore a shirt, she didn’t even dare to breathe deeply.

“Oh my god, Chu Yi, you are a beauty!” Wang Lin circled Chu Yi and looked at her again and again. “You have my style from back then. If I were a man, I would have fallen in love with you! I’m counting on you tonight! Good luck!”

Watching Wang Lin leave in the elevator, Chu Yi felt especially envious. However, she reminded herself of her current high salary and overtime pay and pushed her feelings aside.

When Song Ting came out after changing his clothes, he saw Chu Yi unnaturally fidgeting with her dress.

Noticing Chu Yi’s ill-fitting blouse, he frowned slightly. “Put on your jacket and make sure to bring two sets of clothes for yourself next time.”

“Alright, CEO,” Chu Yi quickly put on her suit jacket and buttoned it up, feeling a little more secure.

In the car, Chu Yi focused on the documents Wang Lin had given her. Today’s social gathering was a bit hasty because a significant business partner, CEO Zhang, suddenly participated in this drinking party. Upon receiving the news, Song Ting rushed over.

Chu Yi also had to memorize the background of everyone present to ensure that everything went smoothly.

When Song Ting arrived, the few CEOs were surprised. However, when they looked at CEO Zhang, they understood why he had come.

The Song Corporation’s product development required precision parts that could only be manufactured by professional factories, and CEO Zhang’s subsidiary was the largest precision parts manufacturer in the country. It was evident why Song Ting was here.

Song Ting finally concealed his low mood and put on a relaxed smile.

“CEO Zhang, long time no see. I didn’t expect you to be here today,” Song Ting said with a soft smile.

CEO Zhang also shook his hand but kept his eyes on Chu Yi, who was behind Song Ting.

Chu Yi was wearing Wang Lin’s beige suit today. The knee-length skirt and fitted suit added to her professional allure, especially her slender and beautiful calves. Coupled with Chu Yi’s fair skin, just her legs alone made people’s minds wander.

Furthermore, Chu Yi was wearing a tight-fitting blouse, and although her jacket covered most of it, her alluring figure was still visible.

On the other hand, Chu Yi didn’t look as sexy as Wang Lin. She looked pure and innocent with a hint of shyness. It wasn’t just CEO Zhang, other CEOs beside her also looked at her.

Song Ting also noticed their gazes. He stepped forward and shielded Chu Yi behind him.

“The people around CEO Song are outstanding. CEO Song is willing to bring out such a beautiful secretary.” CEO Zhang commented, his eyes still fixed on Chu Yi.

Chu Yi also stepped forward and gave a slight bow. “Hello, CEO Zhang. I’m Chu Yi, CEO Song’s secretary.”

She did not offer her hand to shake, as she could sense the man’s bad intentions, just like the other people present.

“Since CEO Zhang is here, I naturally sent our best employee. The Song Corporation and the Zhang Corporation will need outstanding employees to collaborate successfully in the future, won’t we?” Although Song Ting spoke politely, his eyes showed annoyance.

He had been in the business world for many years, so he could easily recognize the desire in CEO Zhang’s eyes. However, now that the cooperation was imminent, he did not want any unnecessary complications.

Song Ting deliberately sat between Chu Yi and CEO Zhang, separating the two of them. Chu Yi only maintained a smile as she looked at everyone.

Unexpectedly, CEO Zhang had no intention of letting her go from the beginning. “Come on, Chu Yi, is it? Since this is our first meeting, let me toast to our acquaintance.”
