Chapter 508: Chapter 509: Setting Off

Chu You used to have a secretary. However, since he hadn’t been managing the company for a long time, his secretary’s position was dissolved. The tasks usually handled by the secretary were taken over by Chu You’s executive and administrative assistants.

Wang Meimei held a position in a high-ranking department. Many of the employees who had worked there for several years were transferred to serve as secretaries to managers of various departments or executives of subsidiary companies.

Everyone knew that the post of a secretary was coveted. It brought one closest to the leadership and allowed for long-term interactions. Being in the vicinity of someone in power undoubtedly improved one’s career prospects.

Of course, being a secretary was not an easy job, especially in a corporate setting. Female secretaries were often harassed by their superiors, and male secretaries had it even worse. If the superior was not doing well, neither was the secretary. If the superior got into trouble, the secretary couldn’t escape involvement.

Wang Meimei had previously worked as a personal secretary, serving none other than Elder Li Yuan, who stood before her now.

Li Yuan was honest and upright, without any ulterior motives. He focused on ability rather than appearances. No matter how attractive someone was, without capability, they wouldn’t last long.

So when Li Yuan recommended Wang Meimei to Chu You, he was confident. He had witnessed her capabilities, and after assuming the role of the proxy for the Tianchu Group, he promoted her to the deputy head of the secretarial department.

When he heard that Chu You would attend the ’.eus Forum, he saw an opportunity for Wang Meimei to further her career. If she could establish a good relationship with Chu You, as the real controller of Tianchu Group, her career prospects would undoubtedly be limitless.

Opportunity comes from higher-ups, but grasping it depends on your abilities.

Although Li Yuan was the group’s proxy, helping Wang Meimei to progress further was not easy in this dog-eat-dog world. His decisions couldn’t impose absolute control, as some of his powers had been outmaneuvered by others.

"Send Wang Meimei to my office. I’m going to change my clothes." Chu You said, holding his identity badge.

"Alright, I will get her right away. By the way, Xiao You, when will you..."

"Soon, very soon. Don’t worry!" Chu You knew what he wanted to say - that he should take over the Tianchu Group.

Watching Chu You walk away, Elder Li Yuan shook his head. He was really unsatisfied with the current situation. The power struggle among Chu You’s relatives was seriously affecting the group’s development and operations. Most importantly, his directives were not being effectively implemented.

If only Chu You took control, then he could fade into the background. Musing on this, Elder Li Yuan glanced at the picture on his desk, a look of confusion in his eyes.

Chu You arrived in his own office which, though unoccupied for years, was cleaned daily.

Upon entering, he opened a closet – a real closet!

Chu You’s office was more a presidential suite than an office. It came equipped with everything, even a secret door that no one knew about except Chu You.

Since he had to attend the prestigious forum, he decided to wear a business suit to not attract unnecessary attention. It would be disrespectful to wear trendy attire at a grand official function.

The wardrobe boasted a wide range of suits. Chu You picked a dark blue suit. Each suit cost over a hundred thousand, some even more expensive.

He took the suit into the changing room. While he was dressing, he heard a knock on the door. He hurriedly finished dressing and came out, adjusting his attire in the mirror. "Come in," he said.

He then heard the door open, followed by a woman’s voice, "President Chu!"

Turning to the door, he saw a woman in a beige business suit. She had short hair and a slender frame, with fair skin, big eyes, and a youthful face that defied age prediction. Her general demeanor was very ’vibrant’ — delicate, clean and elegant.

"So, you’re Wang Meimei?" Chu You asked while buttoning his jacket.

"Yes, President Chu." Wang Meimei replied with a light touch of makeup and a slight smile – a smile she had practiced for a long time. Standing upright, her head slightly lowered to maintain eye contact without being disrespectful. This way, she also appeared ’submissive’, an impression well-regarded by those in power.

The corporate world had many unwritten rules, particularly in large conglomerates where these subtle details mattered.

He is really young! This was Wang Meimei’s first impression.

Chu You then took out a dark blue tie. He furrowed his brow and blinked as he turned towards Wang Meimei, "Do you know how to tie a tie?"

"I can tie a tie. Do you need my help, President Chu?" Wang Meimei asked softly.

"Yes, come over."

Soon, Wang Meimei’s figure appeared in the mirror behind him. She took the tie from him and started to knot it standing behind him.

The two were so close, Chu You could smell her fragrance.

"Are you married?" Chu You asked.

"No, not yet." She murmured from behind him. In her breath, Chu You could sense a fragrance as fresh as orchids.

"How old are you?"

"I’m 29." She had finished knotting the tie as she said this.

"Here’s your identity card."

"Thank you, President Chu."

"Alright, is there anything else you need to prepare?"

"No, President Chu, I am fully prepared."

"Okay, let’s go then." Chu You was brimming with vigour dressed in his formal outfit!

When they appeared at the lobby of Tianchu Group, a motorcade stood there waiting. Chu You signalled that he would drive his own car and they climbed into his SUV. Two other vehicles containing security personnel duly followed.

With the ignition and a song playing, a soothing melody filled the car, and the convoy set off.

"Raise a glass to my friends who’ve accompanied me thus far. A double bird flip to the haters. Our life will only get better. We don’t worry about interferers; we dictate our own future. They’ve always held the prime place, hence, our success. Endless stacks of cash piled to the ceiling for us to splurge in Las Vegas. Popping bottles of champagne, bottles over bottles till the table is filled, let’s go!"
