Chapter 698 - 704: Her Daughter Should Call Him Dad
Serves her right! Who told her to be so ignorant and ungrateful? She just joined the company and already became the chief secretary, taking care of the CEO’s daily schedule?
That should have been her role...
After Shang Dongyuan left, Chu Xiaoge had just taken a breath when Zhang Xiaowen whisked her away.
"Come with me." Zhang Xiaowen didn’t look pleased either. The CEO had her look after this newcomer, which meant Chu Xiaoge was now under her supervision.
If the CEO had any dissatisfaction with Chu Xiaoge, it would all be Zhang Xiaowen’s responsibility...
Chu Xiaoge could sense the change in Zhang Xiaowen’s tone, and her previously settled heart instantly tensed up again.
The other secretaries also dispersed after Shang Dongyuan left.
Several of them gathered together, still puzzled.
"So strange... Doesn’t Mr. Shang usually hate having secretaries see him off? What’s up with today? He specifically called everyone out?"
"Yeah, I really can’t figure it out!"
...
Next, Zhang Xiaowen directly took Chu Xiaoge to a name-brand store downstairs.
Once inside, she threw a few sets of suits at her and told her to try them on.
Holding that pile of clothes, Chu Xiaoge curiously glanced at the price, and her face turned pale in a flash.
Each set costing five figures... It truly matched Zhang Xiaowen’s previous requirements!
But she was only here to work and earn money for her father’s surgery, and also to raise her daughter, not to splurge.
Chu Xiaoge frowned and embarrassingly shook her head to refuse, "Evan, sorry, I... I don’t have that much money. I think I should just give up this job..."
Listening to Chu Xiaoge say this, Zhang Xiaowen wasn’t surprised at all. Instead, she said, "These are work clothes, the company will pay for them. You just need to wear them."
Since Mr. Shang had personally made the call, Zhang Xiaowen was determined to make sure this country bumpkin was properly dressed up.
"But..." Chu Xiaoge was dumbfounded. Shang Dongyuan was really generous, buying such expensive clothes for his secretary?
"What’s there to ’but’? In our line of work, anyone accompanying Mr. Shang represents his identity and status. Who dares to dress poorly? If you embarrass Mr. Shang, will you take responsibility? Or do you want to go to the third floor to do housekeeping? The uniform there costs fifty yuan a set." Zhang Xiaowen’s sharp tongue hit the nail right on the head with just a few words.
Yes, just as gold adorns a Buddha, clothes make the man.
Following Shang Dongyuan out to discuss business, she couldn’t possibly dress too shabbily, it would make people look down on them.
Chu Xiaoge had no room for further argument and took the clothes into the fitting room. "Alright then..."
It wasn’t long before she came out dressed in the clothes.
With her good figure—slender and graceful—the suit made her look even more curvaceous.
Even Zhang Xiaowen couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration in her gaze.
She suddenly understood why Mr. Shang would pay special attention to her...
However, as a fellow woman, she felt the need to remind this seemingly naive woman of something.
"What’s your relationship with Mr. Shang?"
"Uh..." Chu Xiaoge didn’t expect Zhang Xiaowen to suddenly ask her this question, and she felt awkward.
What was their relationship?
Even she hadn’t sorted it out yet.
A one-night stand?
Her daughter should have called him daddy...
However, saying this now seemed both foolish and silly.
Chu Xiaoge forced a bitter smile and shook her head, giving up on everything, "How could I have anything to do with Mr. Shang? It’s just that I worked as a cleaner in the private rooms on the third floor five years ago, maybe I seemed familiar to him..."
