Chapter 6 For My Sister
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the dense traffic and pedestrians revealed the prosperity of the city, Ye Xiaojing looked at the scene outside, and couldn't help but feel a sense of trance in her heart.
"Miss Ye!"
A slightly familiar voice made Ye Xiaojing turn her head, and what caught her eye was an incredibly handsome face.
"Mr. Yue?"
"It seems that Miss Ye and I are very fateful, and we will meet again so soon!" The kind of gentle smile that Yue Lei showed that was harmless to humans and animals made Ye Xiaojing feel extremely cordial, which was completely different from the sense of oppression that Guan Wenxiang brought to people.
After chatting for a while, Ye Xiaojing found that Yue Lei seemed to be very familiar with Guan's, she thought about it and asked, "Does Mr. Yue know what work the assistant president needs to do?" ”
"Assistant to the President?" Hearing this, Yue Lei raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and then stared at Ye Xiaojing as if intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that the other party was looking at him timidly, so he still maintained a gentle smile and said: "The duties of the assistant to the president are generally to assist the president in his work, such as staffing, advising, executing, coordinating, and assisting in management—"
Ye Xiaojing's eyes widened in surprise as she listened, and then she sighed deeply in her heart - he was really pitying her! How could she possibly do such a position?
After rectifying her mood outside the door, Ye Xiaojing took out the key and inserted it into the lock hole.
She has already decided, and she will tell her sister later that she will go to work in the flower shop on Renai Road tomorrow, as for the assistant to the president, it is not what she is qualified to do as a senior vocational student.
Rather than being fired later, it's better not to go in the first place. It is impossible to do a job that can only be done for a long time by relying on the sympathy of others, and I believe that my sister will agree with her idea.
"Sister, I'm back!" As soon as Ye Xiaojing entered the house, she found that the atmosphere was not right.
"It's Xiaojing, why is it so late today?" Ye Xiaoman secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and stood up with a smile.
"I went to the market after work and came back with some groceries. It's so dark in the house, why don't you turn on the lights? Ye Xiaojing said as she turned on the top light.
"Huh? Sister, have you cried? What happened? She asked anxiously.
The corners of my sister's eyes were still red, and it seemed that she had just cried.
Ye Xiaoman covered up a little flustered: "How can I cry, don't guess, why should I cry!" ”
"Sister, something must have happened, right? Can you tell me okay? We are sisters, and I should share half of everything for you! Ye Xiaojing looked at her sister pleadingly and said.
But Ye Xiaoman just shook his head and refused to say anything.
"That's right!" Ye Xiaojing's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, when she came back just now, she saw a person's back on the road who seemed to be Uncle Wan.
Although Uncle Wan is also one of the creditors of their sisters, because his father had a very close personal relationship with Uncle Wan during his lifetime, and Uncle Wan is very sympathetic to their current situation, he has never taken the initiative to claim the arrears from them. Sometimes, when there were several arrears to be paid, Uncle Wan would always ask them to pay the other creditors first, and he would always owe the money.
Not only that, Uncle Wan usually gives them some financial support, so that their lives are slightly better, so she and her sister have always been very grateful to Uncle Wan.
As soon as she thought of this, she immediately asked, "Sister, has Uncle Wan been here?" I seem to have seen him just now, is it related to Uncle Wan that you will cry? What the hell is going on? Sister, don't let me worry, okay? ”
Ye Xiaoman motioned to her with her gaze to calm down: "Xiaojing, don't worry, my sister will tell you!" ”
Taking the water cup handed by Ye Xiaojing, she slowly told the whole thing.
Recently, Uncle Wan's company had made a mistake in investing, for which he had invested all his working capital, but now the company needed a sum of money to keep it afloat, and he had no choice but to come to their sisters to get the money back.
Ye Xiaoman sighed: "I have taken out all our savings, I hope it can be of some help to Uncle Wan." ”
Wiping away her tears, Ye Xiaojing said firmly: "Sister, I understand!" Uncle Wan has always taken good care of us, and we must do our best to help him through this difficult time now! ”
"That's what I thought too!" Ye Xiaoman sighed faintly, her face was full of exhaustion, "There is another arrears of 100,000 yuan to be repaid next Tuesday, but we don't even have a penny of savings now." I'm going to talk to Boss Liu tomorrow, hoping to delay it for a few more days-"
Ye Xiaojing immediately instinctively shouted: "Sister, don't go!" ”
Over the years, they had become accustomed to seeing the faces of their creditors, and she knew that her sister would definitely be humiliated again.
"Xiaojing, don't worry, after so many years, my sister has long learned to be patient, and she will not conflict with them anymore."
In the past, when she was young and ignorant, she would clearly express her contempt for the snobbish faces of those people. And now, years of social experience have already worn out the original edges and corners bit by bit, so that she understands the hot and cold state of the world and understands that silence is golden.
Dignity cannot solve their debts, nor can it provide them with abundant subsistence materials, and if they want to survive in this city of more than 2 million people, they must learn to look at people's eyes and learn to place themselves in a lower level.
Ye Xiaojing shouted excitedly: "Don't! Why should you put up with the white eyes of those people? It's not enough for us to work hard and use all the money we have saved to pay off our debts, and we have to endure their scorn all the time! God, you're so unfair, why is that? ”
"Xiaojing, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Xiaoman looked at her in surprise, she had never seen her sister so excited, Xiaojing's temper has always been very gentle, even when it was difficult before, she had never heard her complain.
Ye Xiaojing bit her lip, she didn't know what was wrong with her, she just wanted to vent.
"Xiaojing, are you too tired from work? I've never heard you speak so loudly before. ”
Ye Xiaoman looked at her worriedly, "My sister is most worried about you, it doesn't matter if you don't pay off the debt, anyway, such a large amount of arrears, even if we use it up in our lifetime, we may not be able to repay it all." I just hope you're safe! ”
She said this last sentence very lightly, but it made Ye Xiaojing calm down all of a sudden.
"Sister, I forgot to tell you something." She tried her best to make her tone calmer, "I have been hired as an assistant to the president, and my monthly salary is 100,000 yuan-"
No matter how much humiliation she would have suffered to accept the position, she accepted it. How could she not have thought that her sister must have endured a lot of inhuman treatment outside for her before, and she could no longer indirectly hurt her sister for her ridiculous self-esteem.
From now on, if anything that insults her self-esteem happens, it's all for her!
At nine o'clock in the morning on Monday, Ye Xiaojing, dressed in a professional suit, arrived at the Guan Building on Dunhua North Road on time.
Looking at the numbers that kept jumping on the elevator, her mood became inexplicably nervous.
Finally arrived, Ye Xiaojing took a deep breath and walked into the president's office on the twenty-eighth floor of the building nervously.
"Hello this young lady, I'm here to report!" The beauty behind the desk is dressed in a black Armani suit, and her simple curly hair looks very neat and neat.
He Yunyi carefully looked at this girl who was still a little childish on her face, with a timid look in her delicate eyebrows and eyes, not only did she not have the slightest bit of a rich lady's frame - on the contrary, her helpless behavior was like a country girl who had never seen the world.
He Yunyi said quietly: "The president has already informed me, and I will arrange work tasks for you." My surname is He, and I am the executive secretary of the president, what should I call the young lady? ”
The simple-minded Ye Xiaojing didn't notice the faint hostility in He Yunyi's words at all, and immediately briefly introduced her situation.
In the seemingly unintentional but skillful conversation, within a few minutes, He Yunyi had already made the ins and outs of the whole thing clear.
After learning that Ye Xiaojing would not pose any threat to herself in the slightest, He Yunyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, this is your location."
He Yunyi pointed out a table to her, and then threw over a few documents, "Your job is to sort out the documents handed in below!" In addition, the clerical tasks assigned by the president should be handled in a timely manner. If you have any questions, you can ask me, OK? ”
"I see!" Ye Xiaojing didn't dare to slack off, and immediately devoted herself to work.
After a busy morning, Ye Xiaojing finally completed the task assigned by He Yunyi. For her, although those tasks were trivial, they were not difficult, so when He Yunyi showed a satisfied expression after checking her results, Ye Xiaojing's heart that had been worried finally calmed down.
"This is the minutes of the meeting just now, you sort it out right away."
After the lunch break, He Yunyi immediately assigned a new task to her. Since she was only promoted by the president for a moment of kindness, there is no need to leave people there to drink coffee every day like she did with the previous eldest ladies, why don't you use the people who can use it?
"Yes!" Ye Xiaojing knew very well in her heart that her position as assistant to the president was not justified at all, if she didn't work hard, there would definitely be a lot of gossip.
The minutes of the meeting were very long, and Ye Xiaojing only buried herself in typing, not realizing that someone had been standing on the side and observing her for a long time.
So when a deep male voice suddenly sounded in her ears, she almost jumped in fright.
Guan Wenxiang's eyes stared at her for a moment, the well-fitting dark pink suit just set off the thick and slender figure, and the shoulder-length hair naturally fell, making her beautiful face look fresh and charming.
"Hello, president!"
Guan Wenxiang's appearance made Ye Xiaojing feel very embarrassed, but she had to bite the bullet to greet him.
Glancing at the computer in her office, Guan Wenxiang asked inquiringly: "On the first day of work, are you still adapting?" ”
"Uh-it's okay! I've done everything Secretary He has ordered, and she-seems to be quite satisfied-"
Ye Xiaojing lowered her head and replied cautiously, Guan Wenxiang's burning eyes made her feel uncomfortable.
"That's good!"
Guan Wenxiang didn't say anything more, got up and walked to the president's office inside.
It wasn't until the sound of "bang" that Ye Xiaojing's heart, which had been beating wildly since Guan Wenxiang appeared, gradually calmed down, she raised her head, her eyes unconsciously looked at the door, and Guan Wenxiang's handsome figure unconsciously appeared in front of her again.
Ye Xiaojing stared at the door for a long time, until the sound of high heels hitting the ground came from outside, and she woke up suddenly. She quickly sat down to get back on with her unfinished work, but to her dismay, she couldn't concentrate and was so frustrated that she was frustrated by the errors in the paperwork she had organized.
The sound of high heels stopped after entering the room, Ye Xiaojing thought that Secretary He was back, raised her head and was about to say hello, but found a very beautiful woman standing in the room, staring at her with a cold gaze.
"Hello this young lady! Is there anything you can do? Ye Xiaojing smiled and asked formulaically.
