Fallen In Love: The Ceo Who Tamed Me

Chapter 5 - Yuan Quan Is Yuan Quan So Why The Heck Is He Comparing Me With Him?



"It's good that you and I are getting along. So what brought you to my office? I hope you won't say you just came to say hello because I really hate it when someone disturbs me without any reason," CEO Li asked.

"No, I just wanted to inform you about your meeting at 11:00am with the president of Next innovation company," Yang Zi said politely. Thank goodness she had told Yuan Quan to send her the boss's schedule two days ago and she had memorized everything or else she would have gotten into serious trouble with her boss on her first day at work. ​​

"Can't you see that I am very busy right now and one more thing I hate seeing that old man's face so just cancel my schedule with him. He always gets on my nerves whenever I see him and I definitely don't want him to ruin my mood for the day," CEO Li said sternly and then refocused his attention on the documents on his table once again.

"Boss, we can't just cancel the meeting on him just like that. Yuan Quan made it known to me that Mr. Cao had booked this meeting with you about a month ago, but you either cancel the meeting on him or stand him up for the entire day without showing up at the meeting point. I think that it will make you look bad in front of others so why don't you just attend today's meeting?" Yang Zi said firmly.

"Are you saying that you are concerned about what others will say about me or are you just pretending to care? I'm certain you are doing this to save your image, not mine," CEO Li said as he stared at her.

"Of course I am concerned about your image Boss. One more thing, if words get out, others will presume that I didn't do my job well as your secretary. So let's say saving your image is equivalent to saving mine," Yang Zi said smiling awkwardly.

"I can see that you are still as bold as your first time here but there is absolutely nothing you can do to change my mind. As I have said, cancel my meeting with Mr. Cao because I don't want to see him," CEO Li said with a tone of finality.

"But..."

"You can leave my office if you don't have any other reasonable thing to say," CEO Li cut her short rudely as he pointed his index finger at the door. Yang Zi reluctantly left his office when she saw that she was lost at words for convincing him. Sitting on her seat which was at the right hand side of CEO Li's office, Yang Zi made herself busy by talking to Shiyi through chatting on her SNS. They chatted for a long time before CEO Li suddenly rang her up. Since Yang Zi was not expecting any call she got a little startled when the phone rang. Without wasting time, she went to answer his call.

"You called me boss," Yang Zi said standing at the center of the office.

"Miss Yang, don't you have better things to do instead of staying idle playing on your phone? As you know you were not paid such a huge amount of money just to play around without doing anything tangible so get to work now," CEO Li, who has been watching her giggling to herself while playing on her phone the whole time, said coldly.

"Despite all his riches I can't believe that he is so petty over a few million yuan that he is paying me," Yang Zi murmured but CEO Li heard him.

"I beg your pardon!", CEO Li exclaimed loudly.

"Oh! I said that I wasn't idling away my time. Since I am such an efficient and intelligent secretary I am already through with my work or does Mr. Li have any other tasks for me?" Yang Zi asked politely as she tried her best to sound respectful.

"I thought you said you are very intelligent but why does it look like you are dumb. You can't memorize just a simple word. I have already told you that it is BOSS not Mr. Li. So why is it so hard for you to memorize just a simple title and I definitely have work for you. I want you to arrange all these files in order of their urgency alright," CEO Li ordered sternly as he pointed at the pile of documents which were scattered on a table close to his. Yang Zi's eyes almost fell out of their sockets when she saw the pile of documents. Seeing those piles of documents, anyone would have easily guessed that Li Yifeng was trying to make life difficult for the poor lady.

"Is he trying to kill me? And how on earth will I know the level of urgency of these documents when I have just resumed work today?" Yang Zi thought, displeased as she tried not to get angry in her boss' presence.

"All this? Boss, isn't this too much for one person?" Yang Zi asked, displeased.

"Are you complaining right now? Yuan Quan does more than this by himself so why are proving to me that you are lazy? I want all these files arranged in their order of urgency by the end of today or just consider yourself fired if you don't meet the deadline," Li Yifeng said with a tone of finality.

"Yuan Quan is Yuan Quan so why the heck is he comparing me with him," Yang Zi thought as she frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Yes Boss, I will get to work immediately," Yang Zi replied dejectedly.

"I like your fighting spirit and one more thing. I want you to do the work I have just assigned to you in my office. I am sure that you will leave all the work to Yuan Quan if I let you go. So have a seat over there and start working immediately if you want to go home early," Li Yifeng said as he smirked devilishly.

Yang Zi resigned herself to fate as she packed the documents on the glass table. She started flipping through the documents one after the other. Thank goodness she had knowledge about how business works since she majored in business administration. So she used her discretion and arranged the documents according to their level of urgency. She worked without taking a break for hours.

Li Yifeng, who wanted to teach her a lesson, could not help but steal secret glares at her when he saw how calm and composed she was as she worked. She was so oblivious of what was going on around her since she wanted to finish everything on time. Yuan Quan was surprised when he did not see her come out for lunch, but he just brushed it off as a trivia matter.

Time flew by quickly as Yang Zi worked like her life depended on it. She finally heaved a sigh of relief when she finished arranging the documents. She was so dumbfounded when she saw that it was already dark outside and that her boss was no longer inside the office.

"Damn it! Qing Shui will definitely get mad at me for not being there to welcome her. I better get going now," Yang Zi exclaimed in surprise as she hurriedly packed the documents and neatly arranged it on her boss table. She made sure she left a note on it in case the janitors cleaned the table. When she went downstairs, she was shocked to see that people were still working and since she was late for her previous appointment, she quickly left without bidding them goodbye.
