Chapter 334: Chapter 335: Come Be My Secretary

"What bad things have you done?" Song Xiaodong felt uneasy inside, but appeared calm. Before he left, Lin Su’er meticulously checked him over, even picking the hairs off his clothes, fearing that any trace of her might be left on Song Xiaodong.

"Then why do you smell like a woman?" Miao Xuanxuan leaned in and sniffed him again.

Song Xiaodong said, "I was at Lin Su’er’s place yesterday, of course I would carry her scent."

"Oh... You mentioned yesterday that you went to her place, what exactly was the issue there?"

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "Let’s wait until we get home to talk about it, it won’t be clear in just a moment or two."

"Oh, it seems like it’s not a simple matter then." Miao Xuanxuan’s curiosity was piqued, but since it was almost time for class, they had headed to the building and then went their separate ways to their classrooms.

After class, Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan went home together. Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru were both at home, and Song Xiaodong recounted the situation at Lin Su’er’s home.

After listening, Song Xiaoru and the others all frowned deeply. Miao Xuanxuan even burst out in anger, "That man is such scum, selling his own daughter like that, why didn’t you beat him up instead of giving him money?"

Song Xiaodong sighed and said, "If I had beaten him, that would have put Lin Su’er in a very difficult position."

Song Xiaoru nodded and said, "Yes, no matter how wrong her father was, as a daughter, she couldn’t just watch her father get beaten. That would be utterly unfilial. Dongzi didn’t do anything wrong by acting the way he did."

Miao Xuanxuan, however, disagreed and said, "That depends on what kind of father he is. That scumbag doesn’t deserve to be anyone’s father. What has he done besides contributing his sperm?"

Song Xiaoru and Miao Qingqing blushed at once. Miao Qingqing chided, "Don’t talk nonsense all day long."

Miao Xuanxuan retorted, "I’m just stating the facts. It’s absolutely infuriating."

Miao Qingqing didn’t engage with Miao Xuanxuan but instead said to Song Xiaodong, "From what you’re saying, Lin Su’er’s father is definitely a greedy man. I’m afraid that once he spends all the money, he will come back to ask Lin Su’er for more."

Song Xiaoru and Miao Xuanxuan both nodded repeatedly, thinking this was very likely.

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "I have thought this through. With such a person, talking to him about the law or morals is useless, so the only option is to deal with a villain by being ruthless myself. I’ll find an opportunity to make sure he never dares to bother Lin Su’er again."

Miao Xuanxuan immediately said excitedly, "Then you must take me with you; it sounds like it’s going to be really fun."

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Sure, I’ll definitely take you with me."

Song Xiaoru, who was rather detached, wasn’t very interested in such matters, while Miao Qingqing, focused more on significant endeavors, particularly in her career, also showed little concern but advised, "Just make sure to be cautious not to break the law."

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Don’t worry, I can handle this little matter."

The group didn’t have any objections to Song Xiaodong helping Lin Su’er. Their fathers were no longer around, but at least they had experienced fatherly love, while Lin Su’er may have a father, he only brought her pain. In fact, they felt Lin Su’er was even more pitiful than they were.

"Dongzi, you’re going to the company tomorrow, do you have any other plans?" Miao Qingqing asked again.

Song Xiaodong immediately said, "When I’m at the company, I’ll try as much as possible not to expose our relationship."

Miao Qingqing nodded and said, "That’s no problem. I don’t want to make too much fuss about it, so when Sister Xiaoru arranges for you to join, only the HR manager will be aware of the situation."

Song Xiaodong laughed, "That’s settled then. I definitely don’t want to arrive at the company only to have people say I’m living off someone else."

Miao Qingqing instantly chuckled at that, but her face turned red soon after. Living off someone else clearly meant living off her.

Miao Xuanxuan pouted and said, "This is terrible. Now no one will play games with me anymore."

Song Xiaodong chuckled, "Don’t worry, I’m the assistant manager and usually free. I can still play games with you during work hours."

Miao Xuanxuan immediately beamed and said, "Right, I’ll look for you then."

Miao Qingqing rolled her eyes at the two of them but could do nothing about it. It was already not easy getting Song Xiaodong into the company, let alone expecting him to work seriously like her; she knew that was out of the question.

The next day, Song Xiaodong arrived at the company. It was bustling with people coming and going, but he did not run into Wang Chenggui, that old classmate.

Starting the job was much simpler; HR was handling it, and since Song Xiaodong became the HR assistant manager right away, he did not disturb anyone else at the company and had already settled into the HR assistant manager’s office.

The HR department was quite significant within the company. There was enough work to keep people busy, but that was more for the regular staff. For an assistant manager like Song Xiaodong, it was relatively relaxing.

However, being relaxed could be a bit boring at times. There happened to be an interview that afternoon, so Song Xiaodong decided to check it out.

"Hey, Dongzi, what are you doing here?" Outside the interview room, Song Xiaodong unexpectedly saw Su Yao, that class beauty and old classmate.

"Ha, Class Beauty Su, we meet again." Song Xiaodong walked over to her with a grin.

Su Yao looked Song Xiaodong up and down and laughed, "Nice, you’re all spruced up today. Are you here for an interview too?"

"Yeah..." Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "You’re applying as well?"

"Yeah." Su Yao shrugged and said, "I’ve been thinking these past few days. Relying on shortcuts and backdoors, even if I get into the company, it’s hard to stand firm, so I decided it’s better to start sincerely from scratch."

"Oh, that works too. Which department are you interested in? Need me to help you out?"

Su Yao said, "My major was in secretarial studies, so naturally, I came to be a secretary."

"To be a secretary, huh..." Song Xiaodong stroked his chin, grinned, and said, "How about being my secretary?"

"Pfft..." Su Yaoyao burst into laughter, punched Song Xiaodong lightly, and scolded jokingly, "Sure, if you can be some sort of manager here, I’d rather be your secretary."

"That’s a promise, don’t regret it," Song Xiaodong said with a grin.

"Regret what?" Su Yao gave Song Xiaodong a look and said, "You’ve been getting better at bragging, just spewing nonsense. You better prepare well. It would be nice if we could end up as colleagues."

Four Chapters in the morning, what else is there to say? Making up for the past two days, let’s fill up enough today, two more Chapters in the afternoon, credibility still holds tomorrow!
