A new company?
Xu Weilai was in shock by these three words. She thought that her Big Boss had returned to fully develop the domestic branch of Z Magazine, but she didn’t expect him to go to a new company.
But… she was a reporter. She majored in journalism at university and had been working as a reporter after graduation all this while. The thought of changing her career path had never crossed her mind. Now, he wanted her to be a secretary…
She subconsciously wanted to shake her head and refuse.
However, before she managed to respond, her Big Boss seemed to have expected it and added a few more words, “The new company I’m about to join…is the Gu Corporation.”
Xu Weilai was stunned. Her pupils widened slightly as if she didn’t hear it clearly. She repeated his words to confirm, “You are referring to that Gu Corporation?”
Her Big Boss raised his goblet and took a sip elegantly. The corner of his lips curved into a half-smile. He then slowly nodded, “Yes, that Gu Corporation.”
That would be totally breaking news.
Her Big Boss actually wanted to join the Gu corporation. Although there’s a lot of movement among the upper echelons of the Gu Corporation recently, there was not much of a change. And then, there was the acquisition by the Zuo Corporation. As for her Big Boss… did he already had a stake in the company, or was he somehow related to the Zuo Corporation?
When she thought of this, she suddenly recalled that her Big Boss’s surname was Zuo.
As she had always called him Big Boss, she overlooked his real name. Although she didn’t know his full name, Qiao Chu still respectfully called him “Mr. Zuo”.
Zuo Corporation versus Mr.Zuo. Was it just a coincidence, or was there really a connection?
Xu Weilai did some research on Zuo Corporation previously. Zuo Corporation had a famous heiress named Zuo Si, who was also the only daughter of Zuo Corporation’s CEO. Zuo Si was also the publicly acknowledged successor of the Zuo Corporation. She had never heard of a son in the picture.
Although Xu Weilai was fully immersed with curiosity, she could not bring herself to dig into other’s family matter on the spot. Although she had known her Big Boss for more than three years, it was purely a working relationship between a superior and subordinate. She wouldn’t even be considered a friend with him. It would be rude to speak recklessly.
As she was quiet for a long while, her boss asked again, “What do you think of it?”
“What do I think of it?”
Xu Weilai was thinking about how she could find out on the document Gu Xiong had given Gu Yu when they met. Xiao Chun couldn’t help her risk a peek. So, she had to do it herself.
Before she could find a way to get close to Gu Yu, her Big Boss handed her a stepping stone.
If she became his secretary, she would join the Gu Corporation as an employee. She could go around Gu Corporation as she pleases. Then, she would have a good chance to search for the said document in Gu Yu’s office.
She often had an inexplicable feeling that her Big Boss had placed a probe in her head. It was as if he would always be there to solve her problems when she got in trouble.
However, she couldn’t disregard her Bis Boss’s need for her own issues. He wanted to build his own team, and he needed capable people to work for him.
Xu Weilai pursed her lips and said, “Big Boss, I have never been a secretary. I don’t know whether I can do it well. I’m afraid that I would hold you back.”
Big Boss lowered his eyes, then gave her a sudden smile.”You are just being modest. Working with the press is so difficult and yet you can do it alone. It’s just a secretary’s job. I believe you can handle it well. You would be of great help to me.”
He paused for a few seconds and continued in a lower voice. “Just like in the past three years.”
