A/N: [Just a little sweet story. The author has no logic and no brain. If you argue with me, I’ll go crazy and bite you. Please be lenient with me since I’m this silly ( 。ớ ₃ờ)ھ ]
Good morning. 1(Note: “早上坏” is a play on “早上好” good morning, meaning “morning is bad”)
Looking at the 8:00 AM on his phone, Lin Yang took a deep breath. Great. Today is another day of working for a living. In the mirror, his skin was fair, but he couldn’t avoid the two big dark circles under his eyes.
He had just woken up, and he already had a faint “living but slightly dead” vibe.
Awesome!
Life really is getting more and more hopeful. He put on a suit, tied his bow tie, and finally put on his classic silver-framed glasses. Hmm, looks like an elite. But elites are also miserable wage slaves.
As he left, he stared at the resignation letter on the table for a few seconds. Finally, he angrily grabbed the resignation letter and put it in his pocket. The moment he stepped out, his face was etched with tragic heroism.
No family, who gets it.
A month ago, he was a college student who won five million in the lottery and was happily preparing to lie flat for the rest of his life. Then he woke up and had freshly transmigrated into a CEO novel, becoming the CEO’s secretary.
No!
Five million!!
Five million!!!
What a vicious world! Just to keep him from lying flat, it sent him here! This world is a giant capitalist conspiracy! Lin Yang looked up at a 45-degree angle and gently closed his eyes. The world kissed him with pain, and he died from the pain! Angrily stuffing the resignation letter into his chest, Lin Yang left the house. Just as he was walking to the company entrance with a meat bun in his mouth, a sharp-eyed colleague immediately rushed over and grabbed his hand.
“Secretary Lin! Oh no!! Something terrible has happened!!!”
Lin Yang, accustomed to this, stuffed the whole meat bun into his mouth, swallowed it, and then looked at the female colleague expressionlessly.
“What’s wrong? Did you poop your pants? You look awful.”
The female colleague, also used to this, ignored the comment and explained.
“No, it’s Miss Dong! She’s here again!!”
Lin Yang closed his eyes. Here it comes. Next up, a classic CEO novel plot. Look closely, this woman is called Dong Yan. Dressed provocatively, heavily made up. She’s making a scene at the front desk, yelling at the receptionist, who’s about to cry. Clearly a typical vicious supporting female character.
Lin Yang walked over and fake-smiled: “Miss Dong.”
Dong Yan turned and glared at him viciously.
“Secretary Lin, it’s you again!”
Her voice squeezed out from her throat. Just from her voice, you could tell she hated Lin Yang to death. Lin Yang pushed up his glasses and put on a formulaic fake smile.
“Yes, it’s me again, Miss Dong. Coming to our company so early in the morning, what’s the matter?”
Dong Yan looked at him coldly.
“Where’s Brother Huo Yan? Where is he? I want to see him.”
Lin Yang was too familiar with this move. He immediately brought out the classic line of a CEO’s secretary.
“Sorry, Miss Dong, our CEO Huo is busy with official business. To see him, you need an appointment. You don’t have one, so I can’t let you see him.”
Dong Yan spared no effort to show off her fine qualities as a vicious supporting female. She arrogantly raised her chin.
“Do you know who I am? I will be Brother Huo Yan’s woman in the future. If you dare to stop me, I’ll have Brother Huo Yan fire you!”
She thought this would scare Lin Yang.
But Lin Yang’s eyes lit up: “You can really get him to fire me?”
Being fired is great; get an extra month’s salary, awesome. Dong Yan clearly didn’t expect this attitude, and her eyes widened a bit.
“Yes, so you understand now, let me up quickly!”
Lin Yang sighed and accepted reality.
“Forget it, you said the same thing last time.”
The pillow talk of a vicious supporting female is less useful than him letting out a loud, smelly fart next to the CEO in front of the whole company during a meeting.
Dong Yan: “…”
She flew into a rage: “You dare talk like that, do you not want to live?!”
Lin Yang said calmly: “I’m just doing my job. If Miss Dong has nothing else, please leave.”
Dong Yan stared at him intently: “Take me to Brother Huo Yan’s office.”
Lin Yang: “No, letting irrelevant people in without permission will make CEO Huo blame me.”
Dong Yan gritted her teeth: “As long as you let me see Brother Huo Yan, I guarantee he won’t blame you.”
Lin Yang said expressionlessly: “That won’t do either. I only listen to my boss. I still know who pays my salary.”
Dong Yan was about to die of anger.
“No matter what I say, you won’t let me in, right?”
Lin Yang was moved to tears.
“You finally understand what I’m saying. I thought Miss Dong couldn’t understand human speech.”
Lin Yang pretended to wipe his tears, the corners of his mouth harder to suppress than an AK. Totally acting. This insult was extremely strong, and Dong Yan’s freshly botoxed face was about to twist with anger.
“A mere little secretary, don’t take yourself too seriously.”
As she spoke, she raised her hand.
“Today, I’m going to teach you a lesson for Brother Huo Yan!!”
She raised her hand without hesitation to slap Lin Yang. Lin Yang’s eyes flashed coldly. Just as Dong Yan’s hand was about to touch him, he directly grabbed her wrist. The expected scene did not happen; instead, her wrist was grabbed. And the person holding her hand showed no fear. Her pupils shrank, then she flew into a rage.
“Let go! You’re just a little secretary; you dare to lay a hand on me?”
The receptionists, seeing his action, were terrified and looked at him nervously. But Lin Yang calmly hooked his lips and smiled.
“Sorry, getting slapped is not in my job description.”
Dong Yan stared in disbelief: “What did you say?”
Lin Yang released her wrist and said with heartfelt pain.
“I said, a beautiful and outstanding person like you, how can you waste your great youth on someone who doesn’t understand romance at all?”
“Wha… what?”
Dong Yan was originally furious and planned to teach this arrogant secretary a lesson. But suddenly hearing Lin Yang praise her like this, her face instantly flushed red. Lin Yang said seriously.
“So, stop liking him, like someone else. You deserve better.”
Anyway, she’s a supporting female; according to the setting, the CEO can’t like her. If this continues, who knows how much trouble she’ll cause him later. Better make her give up now.
But Dong Yan didn’t know this. “I… I…”
She looked at Lin Yang, her face flushed. Why hadn’t she noticed before? This little secretary by Brother Huo Yan’s side was actually quite good-looking. Not the type with sharp contours and flawless features. But he had a comfortable look, gentle and refined, wearing silver-framed glasses, with a scholarly air.
Very likable.
Just then, a cold voice broke the somewhat strange atmosphere.
“What are you doing?”
