Chapter 17: Lace Edge (Commuter Pass Plus Update)
(I'm slow to code, I wanted to be slow, but I'm embarrassed to watch everyone vote.) There should be a change at night, and the day after tomorrow is normal 2 watches, allow me to rest for two days, and add more on July 1, forgive me. )
Sitting in a wide office chair, Li Jie put down the documents he was looking through, and then picked up the mobile phone that suddenly rang, showing an unfamiliar number.
"It was a surprise to me, Miss Swift...... No, Taylor. Li Jie shifted the phone to the other ear, grabbed the cigar with his free right hand, and turned the back of the chair to change to a more comfortable position.
"Well, in fact...... I want to say I'm sorry to you, I've seen the previous media reports, and I'm sorry to get you involved in these things, which wasn't my intention. "Taylor? Swift didn't know why she had dialed that number in a hurry, even though she had been in her hands for a few days. Maybe it was because I accidentally saw the report of Li Jie receiving the award again, so that the shadow that was already vague came out of my heart clearly.
In fact, she already regretted it a little when the call was made, but Li Jie quickly answered the phone, so she couldn't hang up anyway.
My God! I acted like an idiot! Why is it so flustered just on the phone!
Taylor, who has always dared to love and hate, was simply defeated by her own clumsy performance, I don't know why she has lost her cool every time since she met this strange man, does she have a good impression of him? But he's supposed to be gay...... Poor girl, she always thinks that Li Jie's relationship with those women is a deliberate pretense - when you have a preconceived notion, no matter what kind of negative evidence you see, you can automatically make up for it and give a reasonable explanation.
"I see. You don't have to take it personally. Taylor, you don't mind if I call you that, do you? Li Jie flicked the ash of his cigar and asked in a somewhat surprised tone. The media is like that, they can do anything for the sake of sales, as long as someone watches. They can write sows on trees. You've always been a public figure, but you're not used to it? ”
"Uh...... Maybe it's been a long time since they've said nice things about me, and it seems that I've never been very likable. Taylor was directly asked by Li Jie, and for some reason, he suddenly had a strong desire to talk, wanting to spit out the recent depression and sullenness.
"Taylor. There's nothing wrong with being a public figure, but you're a singer first and foremost, and it's your job to sing good songs to your fans. Li Jie pursed his lips absently, and when he saw Izaki Kiel, who was knocking on the door, he lightly lit it with his hand holding the cigar. Motioned for them to sit down. "I've never heard of anyone doing a job that is likable, and there's no way anyone can do it to make everyone like it, unless you're a green dollar."
"You're green."
Taylor was amused by him and laughed, the man's voice was always as confident and calm as it had been when they first met, and nothing seemed to be stumbling him. It's really a stinky fart, she thought of it like this, and she had completely forgotten how she looked when she was at a loss when she was in front of Li Jie. "Of course I understand you're right. But sometimes you just get affected by the stories because they're just too much. ”
Trace? Joyce (Trista?) sat upright, looking at the man in front of her without a trace. Even judging by her extremely critical eye, the other party herself is far more attractive than those photos in the media, not just her appearance, but a comprehensive embodiment of temperament and interior. But listening to his tone, he should be talking to a woman on the phone, is this really the right place for him? Trist was a little unsure.
"You have to learn to deal with these guys who rely on chasing after the wind and shadows. It should be your PR and broker's job, though. And you, as long as you are responsible, refute them with facts. Li Jie continued to reassure her unhurriedly.
"Thank you for your understanding. Bruce. I'm about to get ready to go on stage, can I get in touch again?" Taylor seems to be trying to say something more. But a voice called her on the other end of the phone, it was the assistant reminding her to prepare for the performance, so she hurriedly said a few words and had to be ready to hang up.
"It's okay, I'm glad you called me, I'm sure we can have a good chat." Li Jie deliberately waited until the end to ask this sentence. "But Taylor, why do you have my personal number? Last time you left in such a hurry, we all forgot to leave our numbers. ”
"A friend gave it to me, I really had to hang up, sorry Bruce." Despite his composure, Li Jie could hear the hint of emptiness in her voice, and then the call ended.
What an interesting take, Li Jie put down his phone, tapped his fingers on the table, turned his head to look at Izkiel sitting on the other side of the desk, and finally his eyes fell on the woman next to him.
Very good!
Wearing a professional suit, with blonde hair coiled high, and showing all the faces with light makeup outside, he is obviously very confident in his appearance and figure, and his bumpy figure and delicate facial features do have this capital - there are not many women who can get such an evaluation from Li Jie.
"Boss, is this Trist? Miss Joyce, a very good candidate for secretary. Itzikil saw that Li Jie finished the phone call and started to introduce him in time.
"Good morning, Mr. Lee."
Trace? Joyce smiled appropriately and greeted Li Jie.
"Hello, Miss Joyce. I've seen your profile and it's impressive. It says you used to work for Archer Daniels (archer_daniels_midland) and just left two months ago. I know what you're telling Izie Kiel is that Vice President Gold has misbehaved towards you. But I would like to get more specific and truthful information from you. Li Jie took a deep puff of his cigar and looked at the other party with a scrutinizing gaze.
"I thought you'd value my professionalism more, Mr. Lee." Instead of answering directly, Tracer interjected quietly.
"I believe in Izquil in that and how do you deal with some special situations. I'm more interested to know. Li Jie continued to ask, without the slightest intention of giving up.
Trist was finally a little uneasy under Li Jie's oppressive eyes, and seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still decided to speak truthfully. "He's probably a little drunk and trying to take advantage of me. I punched and kicked him in the face. However, I did not accuse him of sexual harassment, but took the settlement fee he gave privately, and then terminated the contract with the company and left normally. ”
This Ivy League graduate woman has a glamorous resume, but she is quite individual, Li Jie stared at the other party with interest, and couldn't help but make Trace's heart a little hairy. After all, Li Jie's romantic reputation has begun to spread slowly, and the news of his coming out also accounts for a large market, and has always been a hot topic on the Internet.
"I'm a kickboxing fan myself." She subconsciously added.
Li Jie had a smile on his lips, this woman looked at him with a completely different look at other women, and she didn't even feel the slightest reaction when she saw the opposite sex. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation. I'm afraid there's only one possibility - she's a lace trim.
It seems that this guy is still a little sluggish, and he doesn't notice the other party's little secret.
"Miss Joyce, I appreciate your tough attitude and appetite for me. Then from now on, you are my full-time secretary and must be kept on 24 hours a day, and I will not call you outside of working hours if it is not necessary. But when the phone rang. Hope you can get it as soon as possible. Your main task is to help me sift through work calls, invitations, and get the things that really deserve my attention to get to my desk. Oh yes. And most importantly - to complete the other things that I have given you on an ad hoc basis. Will the salary be twice as high as before, is there a problem? ”
"No problem, I will prove my worth, thank you Mr. Li." Tracer didn't expect it to go so well, and despite some hesitation, she replied in the affirmative.
"Good. From now on, call me boss. Li Jie walked around the huge desk. He walked up to Triste and shook her hand politely, pulling it back without any fuss. Then he walked out the door. "Your first job, set up mainstream social media accounts such as R and K in my name, create a positive image, and be responsible for daily maintenance, and Izikiel will explain the details to you. The second thing, help me find out Taylor? Swift's full profile, including her most recent travel arrangements. ”
Trist was very careful at first, but her eyes widened in surprise when she heard it: "These are also my scope of work?" Does this have anything to do with the company's business? ”
"You didn't hear me clearly, Trist. Given that this is the first time, I can explain that you are my full-time secretary and whatever I ask you to do, you have to do without compromise. As for the business side of the company, can you talk to my full-time secretary Sapolina? Clive (sabrina_clive) contact. In just a few words, Li Jie had already walked to the door of the office, he stopped to look at Tryst who was following closely behind him, and then pointed to Sapolina, who was busy sitting outside the door. Clive, a meticulous and equally beautiful young woman, stands up respectfully to greet him when he sees him.
The same job, why not find yourself a pleasing look? At least the mood will be a lot more comfortable, this is Li Jie's opinion.
Of course, he won't go into such detail, but walked straight in the direction of the elevator.
And Izaki Kiel, who was left behind, spread his hands at Trist: "You're going to start getting used to the boss's style, Trist." He doesn't like it when people question his orders, in fact, it's a promising company, think about your objective income. He was not polite, and what he said to Trist was very real, after all, considering the identity of this new colleague, it is very likely that he is one of Li Jie's closest people, and there is no harm in building a good relationship.
Trist apparently realized this immediately, and also smiled at Izquikir's kindness, but vented a few words in her heart, this tyrant!
Taylor? Swift? This super popular female singer is the person he just talked to on the phone?
A fragrant flower is planted on cow dung! (To be continued)
