Chapter 298: Chapter 299 I Want to Flirt with a Female Secretary

As Song Xiaodong’s face drew closer and closer to hers, Miao Qingqing slowly closed her eyes, gripping the armrests of her chair tightly. "You jerk, this is an office." However, her voice was so small it failed to act as any kind of deterrent, and instead, it only fueled Song Xiaodong’s impulse even more.

Just as Song Xiaodong was about to kiss Miao Qingqing’s lips, a knock on the door suddenly rang out. Miao Qingqing instantly snapped back to her senses and hurriedly pushed Song Xiaodong away, frantically straightening her clothes with both hands.

Song Xiaodong reluctantly grinned and then obediently went back to sit across from Miao Qingqing.

"Come in," Miao Qingqing finally said, as her gaze swept over to Song Xiaodong’s frustrated expression. She felt an indescribable joy and pride in her heart, and her lips moved quickly, muttering the words, "serves you right for not getting any."

Song Xiaodong glared at Miao Qingqing, but there was nothing he could do. However, looking at Miao Qingqing’s smug expression, he couldn’t help but find it utterly adorable, just like Miao Xuanxuan.

The person who entered was Miao Qingqing’s secretary, Jin Yulin, who directly placed a stack of documents in front of Miao Qingqing. Miao Qingqing looked over them and signed.

Jin Yulin then said, "Chairman, Manager Liu from the Jianqiang branch said he has important work to report to you. I see that there’s a twenty-minute slot available after half-past two this afternoon, can I schedule it?"

"Yes, ok." Miao Qingqing nodded, her eyes continuously scanning the documents. In work mode, she truly had the aura of a boss—so cool and noble, it made one unconsciously hold her in awe.

This was actually the first time Song Xiaodong had seen Miao Qingqing at work. This version of Miao Qingqing was extremely attractive to a man, her appeal seemed to have increased several notches compared to her usual self.

Seeing Miao Qingqing like this, he couldn’t understand how she had managed to have so much fun with him two years ago; the contrast was just too great.

Thinking about this, Song Xiaodong also remembered the change in Miao Qingqing’s attitude toward him. It looked like Miao Qingqing really had amnesia before, because she certainly wasn’t such a good actress. Ever since she remembered what happened two years ago, her attitude towards him was noticeably different; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to hide it for that period, Song Xiaodong would have noticed long ago.

As Jin Yulin waited for Miao Qingqing to sign, she glanced at Song Xiaodong and then looked away, feeling quite suspicious about who this man was that he could not only have her notify him to come directly to Miao Qingqing but also spend such a long time alone with Miao Qingqing in her office around noon.

Jin Yulin was previously Miao Qingyuan’s secretary, of slightly above-average beauty but with exceptional capability in handling tasks, earning Miao Qingyuan’s high trust. When Miao Qingqing became chairman, she still needed help with many things, so she didn’t bring her own secretary over but kept Jin Yulin on instead.

Although Jin Yulin was curious, she didn’t look at Song Xiaodong again. As a secretary, she knew what she should and shouldn’t get involved with.

After Miao Qingqing finished signing, Jin Yulin left, and Sister Xiaoru happened to walk in, giving Song Xiaodong and Miao Qingqing so much time alone—it was also time for her to get back to work.

"It looks like you two had a good chat," Sister Xiaoru said with a smile, looking at them both.

Miao Qingqing’s face instantly turned red as she reproachfully said, "Sister Xiaoru, we haven’t even started talking yet."

"Oh? Then what were you doing?" Sister Xiaoru’s face bore a teasing smile.

Miao Qingqing blushed even more, while Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "Sister, this is an office, what else could we be doing?"

"You little rascal, I’m warning you, you better not bully Qingqing, or I won’t let you off," Sister Xiaoru said as she twisted Song Xiaodong’s ear, seeming forceful but only lightly pinching him.

Song Xiaodong immediately exclaimed in an exaggerated manner, "I dare not, I dare not! With Sister supporting her, even if it kills me, I wouldn’t dare to bully her. It’s all her bullying me."

Miao Qingqing, blushing, spat at Song Xiaodong, but soon put on a serious face and said, "Then this matter is settled."

"What’s settled?" Song Xiaodong immediately looked at Miao Qingqing, feeling a bit uneasy.

"Come work at the company, and be my assistant," she said.

"No way!" Song Xiaodong immediately widened his eyes and said, "Absolutely not. Being your assistant, like my sister, busy all day till dizzy and distraught? I’d rather die."

Miao Qingqing, appearing composed, said, "Then how about being a manager directly?"

"No way!" Song Xiaodong shook his head repeatedly, saying, "I’ve finally got some freedom; I don’t want to be bound by so many restrictions again."

Miao Qingqing, knowing Song Xiaodong would not agree, now smiled and proposed, "How about going to the HR department? The work there is relatively leisurely, just handling recruitment and such. I’ll give you the position of deputy manager so you won’t have to deal with many constraints, and you can still handle your own affairs if necessary."

Song Xiaodong stroked his chin, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "That sounds not bad... Deputy manager of the HR department, and hiring a pretty secretary too, that would actually be quite nice."

"What do you think you’re doing?" Before Miao Qingqing could speak, Sister Xiaoru had once again grabbed Song Xiaodong’s ear, this time with a bit more force.

Song Xiaodong quickly begged for mercy, saying, "Sister! Sister! I was just joking. Am I the kind of person to mess around? Don’t you know me?"

Sister Xiaoru, furious, said, "Hmm, you better behave yourself. Get rid of all those bad habits from the army, or I won’t let you off."

"Alright, alright!" Song Xiaodong agreed repeatedly, but he knew very well that his sister was being tough for Miao Qingqing’s sake; his own sister naturally still favored him.

Miao Qingqing felt much better seeing Song Xiaodong being handled by Sister Xiaoru. She couldn’t control this guy herself; only Sister Xiaoru could keep Song Xiaodong in line. She would need to cultivate a better relationship with Sister Xiaoru in the future to prevent this guy from bullying her again.

"Hey, hey, Miao Qingqing, why do you look so sly when you smile?" Song Xiaodong interrupted Miao Qingqing’s thoughts.

Miao Qingqing looked at Song Xiaodong with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, "Am I sly? I didn’t feel that."

"Humph, just looking at your smile, you’re definitely up to no good. I’m warning you, I agreed to this deputy manager position in the HR department, but if I don’t enjoy it, I can leave at any time."

Sister Xiaoru glared at Song Xiaodong and said, "You think this is a game? The HR department is a very important part of the company. If you mess up, see how I deal with you."

Miao Qingqing raised her eyebrows at Song Xiaodong, her face full of smugness and provocation; with Sister Xiaoru’s support, she could finally avoid being bullied like earlier.
