Chapter 227: Have Fun and Dupe My Employees
Qian ng raised her brow. It was fine if people didn't recognize her, but this was the first ti soone thought she was soone else. She didn't know how to respond to this situation.
"Can you give a second? I'll just respond to an urgent text," she said politely. The smiled that accompanied the words was impeccable. Jia Shu didn't think anything of it and waved her to go ahead.
Qian ng pulled out her cellphone and opened Mo Qingchen's chat.
[Your HR manager thinks I am the new secretary. Too confused to respond.] She sent the ssage out.
The response ca in record ti from Mo Qingchen.
[I have an hour or so before I finish work. Ergency calls. Have fun and dupe my employees.]
Qian ng blinked. Was he feeding her bad behavior of making fun of people? She didn't mind. If he gave her explicit permission to dupe them, she would take full advantage of the situation and tour the office. Maybe even get in on the gossip.
This was definitely running errands for the CEO, okay?
Qian ng pushed her phone into her bag and gave Jia Shu a blinding smile. "I'm glad to be here."
Jia Shu clapped her hands in delight. "Excellent. You already sent your paperwork so I won't need you to fill out too many forms." Her tone was bright and cheery. "Oh and don't worry, I won't bore you with the company's introduction video. How about you promise you'll watch it on our website?" she winked.
"Of course!" Qian ng chid in with a playful wink.
Qian ng liked this woman. She seed like a girl that didn't take life too seriously. She got the feeling that if she were an employee, she would be glad for such an HR manager.
"Take a seat Xiulan, and we'll go over a few things." She ushered Qian ng into her office, closed the door, and returned to her desk.
Qian ng sat down and started to look around the room.
"I assu you have already gone over the job responsibilities, but I would like to discuss them to avoid any confusion," Jia Shu explained as she sat down.
"Sure." Qian ng leaned back into her chair. It was warm as if soone had just been sitting in it.
"Your main responsibility above all is to make sure Mr. Mo follows his schedule and is inford of any and all changes. He's actually very militant about it." Her tone beca serious. "He'll expect you to be on top of etings, calling everyone in question and making sure everyone is on ti. You will need to confer with the Software Architects often because they mostly co and go from the office." Jia Shu shuffled so papers around her desk as though she was looking for sothing. "You knew about travel, yes?"
Qian ng shook her head. She wasn't sure if she wanted to know.
"You are expected to travel with Mr. Mo as needed."
Qian ng was confused. She hadn't seen Mo Qingchen travel with the secretary.
"Actually, the traveling has posed a problem for us. The current executive secretary is in her last trister of the pregnancy and she hasn't been able to travel for a while. She will go on leave in a week. Mr. Mo's work has been growing so he now requires two secretaries instead of one," she explained to Qian ng.
"Oh." Qian ng couldn't say anything else.
"You have no idea how great it is to have you here," Jia Shu said, still shuffling through papers. Then she stopped abruptly and sternly said, "Now, I must warn you. Mr. Mo is a tough man to work for. Though he's fair and generous to his employees, he expects impeccable work." She looked straight at Qian ng to emphasize the seriousness of her statent.
"Thank you for the warning. But I don't think it is going to be an issue for ." Qian ng was impressed by her equivocation.
Jia Shu smiled and nodded her head approvingly.
"Don't worry. As I gather, others may have tried to be his friend. I am not interested in that," Qian ng added slyly.
"Good. Because that is highly improbable." Jia Shu paused. "More like impossible." She let out a small chuckle. "Forgive for being inappropriate."
Actually, what she had said was not overly inappropriate. She wasn't badmouthing her boss. She was warning the new employee… gently.
"Oh, please." Qian ng waved her hand in front of her face. "I can't stand uptight people dragging their feet in the corporate machine," she admitted honestly. "We'll get along well." She announced.
Jia Shu grinned warmly. "I hope you will co to with any concerns you may have here."
Qian ng smiled. "Hopefully, I won't need to bother you, but I will if I need to."
"Just rember that Mr. Mo needs to remain your top priority. If he's unhappy, everyone's unhappy." She almost began to roll her eyes but caught herself.
She cleared her throat nervously and handed Qian ng so forms to fill out. With that, she led Qian ng into the reception area with instructions.
The forms looked normal. Qian ng put them aside and into a folder.
"Co. Let give you a brief tour of the building before I bring you to Mr. Mo's office." Her smile was dazzling.
The next half an hour was spent mingling with various personnel. They seed friendly enough. Inviting faces and warm pleasantries were showered on Qian ng. They were absolutely delighted until they were told she was the secretary.
"Hang in there," cried a small girl, hugging Qian ng tightly.
How ridiculous.
Jia Shu led her away from the group of employees. "Are you ready to et the big guy?" Her long legs moved swiftly down the hall. She gave Qian ng a friendly wink to their mail carrier as they passed him by.
"Is he expecting ?" Qian ng's brow creased curiously.
