What To Do When The Boss Takes A Liking To You chapter 8
Come to My Office
Worried that the subway would be as congested as it was yesterday, Xu Le deliberately left ten minutes early that day.
He excitedly thought, if he left so early, surely he wouldn’t be late?
As a result, as soon as he reached the subway entrance, he was dumbfounded.
That day’s subway not only wasn’t congested, but it was also completely unobstructed, causing him to arrive at the company nearly half an hour earlier than the previous day.
“Oh my God, am I the earliest employee to arrive at the company?” he muttered to himself.
But clearly not. When he stepped into the company, many colleagues had already arrived at their desks.
Seeing this, Xu Le breathed a sigh of relief. He greeted Cao Xinyi at the front desk, “Good morning, Xinyi jie!”
Cao Xinyi smiled and said, “Lele, you’re here so early today. Want some mini cakes? The desserts here are pretty good.”
Hearing that there was food, Xu Le quickly nodded, “Yes!”
Cao Xinyi handed him a piece of cheesecake and two cream puffs, which looked very appetizing.
Eating the desserts fed by the beautiful sister, Xu Le’s mood became as good as the desserts.
Although it was only his second day at MissOK, the atmosphere of the company was really good. he quickly fell in love with this company.
He decided that as long as President Lan didn’t fire him, he would stay here until retirement, for the atmosphere and treatment of the company!
“Hey, is this the new little brother in the company? He looks familiar.”
Not long after Xu Le returned to his workstation, he was surrounded by several unfamiliar colleagues, sisters.
“Xiao Xu, this is Jiaxin from the design department. Jiaxin, be gentle, the kid just arrived, don’t scare him.” Jiang Wan smiled.
“Where did I scare him? I’m just curious about the new handsome guy who just arrived.”
The one who spoke was a bold and glamorous female employee. She was looking at Xu Le with interest.
Xu Le felt a bit awkward, and even hesitated to look in her direction. It was because this female colleague’s attire was too bold, and her figure was very impressive. He had just graduated from college and had never seen such a mature beauty with such a charming figure before.
“Jia… Jiaxin Jie, hello.”
If it was Cao Xinyi or Jiang Wan, who had gentle temperaments, Xu Le would be very easygoing, but facing Jiaxin in front of him, he felt a bit unable to cope.
Jiaxin raised her beautiful eyebrows and glanced at Xu Le’s work card, smiling gently, “Xiao Le, are you still in college?”
The perfume on the other party was rich and warm, and just a slight toss of the hair made them even more charming, with a captivating fragrance in the air.
Xu Le was a bit shy. “Um, I’m about to graduate.”
“No wonder, you’re really young. Xiao Le, do you have a girlfriend? Do you need me to introduce you to someone?” Jiaxin saw Xu Le’s embarrassed yet cute reaction and couldn’t resist teasing him.
Xu Le shook his head honestly. “No, I’ve been single since birth, but right now, I just want to make money. I haven’t thought about dating yet.”
“Haha, making money is indeed a priority. I agree with you! Oh, speaking of which, it’s better to be young. Little brother, your skin is really good—”
As she spoke, she suddenly leaned in front of Xu Le and stretched out her fair and soft fingers, pinching his smooth face. “What skincare products do you use? I can’t see any pores at all!”
Xu Le was startled, stiffening and not daring to move. “I…I don’t have any special preferences. I usually don’t use skincare products much, unless it’s too dry in winter, then I might use some moisturizer.”
As a straight guy, although he was a live streamer and had some requirements for appearance, he only took care of his hair slightly and kept his face clean and tidy.
“Really? I spend so much time taking care of my face every day, but I still end up with dark circles. Lele, it seems like you truly have natural beauty.” Jiaxin found Xu Le too adorable and couldn’t help teasing him a bit more.
A handsome guy with a good temper, who wouldn’t like him?
Just as Jiaxin’s hand was itching to touch Xu Le’s smooth face again, a cold and oppressive male voice came from behind.
“Xu Le, come to my office after ten.”
The lively office area suddenly fell silent.
The president’s aura was too strong, even bold individuals like Jiaxin quickly withdrew her hand and patted Xu Le’s shoulder to encourage him, “Little brother, go for it!” Then she quickly slipped back to her own workstation.
Xu Le straightened up, as tense as a bowstring, and immediately said loudly, “Okay, President Lan!”
Then, he gathered his courage, giving Lan Qing a bright and energetic smile, showing a row of neat white teeth. Although it looked a bit silly, it was sincere and full of vitality.
He was indeed a bit scared of Lan Qing, but he also felt that the other party was a capable and good boss, so he mostly felt admiration.
Lan Qing looked at the silly little intern who had just been taken advantage of but still kept responding with a silly smile, and couldn’t tell if he was naive or just foolish.
He suppressed the slight discomfort in his heart, maintaining his indifferent expression, and lightly responded, “Hmm.”
After Lan Qing left, Xu Le breathed a sigh of relief.
He whispered to Jiang Wan beside him, “Jiang Wan jie, what could President Lan want with me?”
Jiang Wan furrowed her brows slightly. “Um… I’m not too sure. Generally, President Lan doesn’t interact much with lower-level employees. Besides assistants and secretaries, only department heads occasionally visit his office.”
“Huh?”
Xu Le suddenly became nervous. Could it be that he had done something wrong? But President Lan shouldn’t have noticed a mere intern like him…
From Lan Qing’s cold and perfect face, Xu Le couldn’t detect any emotions.
The other seemed like a highly efficient and cold machine, precise in every word and even every microexpression without any waste.
“Don’t worry, maybe President Lan appreciates you. After all, he didn’t hire Ivy League graduates but chose you instead. He must think you have some valuable qualities.” Jiang Wan comforted him.
Xu Le wrinkled his brows in confusion, then his expression suddenly became excited. “Hmm! That’s great!”
Lan Qing must appreciate him, which was why he wanted to have a private talk with him. Maybe after the development of MissOK, this new brand, he could gradually upgrade to a middle or even senior-level employee. By then, his salary and benefits would definitely be better!
With this thought in mind, Xu Le cast away his previous worries and looked forward to the future.
Although he temporarily regained his confidence, when standing at the door of the president’s office, Xu Le still felt like a deflated balloon, instantly wilting.
His heart was beating rapidly, as if it wanted to burst out of his chest.
Taking a deep breath, he finally knocked on the door.
“President Lan, it’s Xu Le. You asked me to come to your office just now.”
Without waiting for more than a few seconds, through the heavy wooden door, he heard a voice from inside, “Come in.”
The tone was still flat, devoid of any emotion.
