Chapter 291 How did you...
"I'd like to, but I don't understand company matters. Even if I wanted to help you, I wouldn't be able to. Shuyan, I never imagined that after being the company president for so many years, you wouldn't have a single person you can trust." Yunzhi blinked, her beautiful eyes filled with helplessness.
Cheng Shuyan instantly felt the boomerang he had just thrown pierce his heart with lightning speed. He coughed lightly, not wanting Yunzhi to think that he had failed as president all these years, and offered a somewhat guilty explanation.
"It's not that I don't trust anyone, it's just that some documents are too important, and I can't bear the risk that even one of these people might be a traitor. But Zhizhi, you're different. You're the person in my heart, and you're family that I've come to trust. Zhizhi, can we just have two months, or even just one month?"
Cheng Shuyan spoke softly, slowly discussing with Yunzhi, already determined to 'trick' Yunzhi into coming over.
When Yunzhi heard the words "people in her heart" and "family," her delicate cheeks turned as red as a ripe peach, making one's mouth water. Cheng Shuyan's heart itched, but he unusually sat quietly to the side without making a move.
Finally, Yunzhi nodded in agreement in a daze. Only after agreeing did she suddenly come to her senses. Seeing Cheng Shuyan's happy expression, she could only helplessly add a sentence.
"But Shuyan, let me make this clear from the start: I know absolutely nothing about company matters. All I can do is read you emails, and that's about it. Also... I don't work for free! I'm very expensive, so you have to pay me."
Now, Yunzhi would give Cheng Shuyan his life, let alone pay him. Cheng Shuyan readily agreed. He didn't really intend for Yunzhi to handle all the work; he just wanted her to spend more time with him.
Because of his interactions with the Yun family during this period, and knowing that Yun Yun had basically taken over the position of future president of the Yun Group, Cheng Shuyan naturally felt that Yun Zhi was completely clueless about company affairs and that the Yun family had not cultivated Yun Zhi's business talent.
Although I feel sorry for Yunzhi, since her parents seem to treat her so well, they still can't treat Yunzhi and Yunyun the same when it comes to raising an heir.
But then I thought about it again. Ninety percent of the people in this circle are like that. Some people, even if they only have one daughter, will not raise her to be their successor. They would rather find a husband for their daughter to marry into the family and raise this son-in-law, who has no blood relation to them, to be their successor.
Cheng Shuyan dared not say anything now, after all, he had not yet entered the Yun family, and he had no right to interfere in the affairs of the Yun family.
"Zhizhi, don't worry, I will definitely treat you well in the future." Cheng Shuyan hugged Yunzhi tightly and said, word by word.
Yunzhi had no idea that Cheng Shuyan was imagining a whole drama where she appeared to be favored but was actually suffering from the poison of her family's preference for sons over daughters. The moment Cheng Shuyan pulled her into his arms, the faint scent of cedar on his body enveloped her instantly. She felt as if she had also been tainted by Cheng Shuyan's scent, as if she had been branded with his unique mark.
Yunzhi's heart was pounding uncontrollably, as if it were about to jump out of her throat. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and nestled in Cheng Shuyan's arms. After a while, her racing heart slowly calmed down.
At this moment, Yunzhi's cheeks turned even redder. She gently nudged Cheng Shuyan and said, "It's getting late. Let's go back quickly. My parents are already waiting for me at home."
After releasing Yunzhi, Cheng Shuyan gave a soft "hmm".
When Liangrong left, the secretary was still there.
As Yunzhi and Cheng Shuyan walked past the secretary, Yunzhi paused, and Cheng Shuyan stopped as well. The secretary immediately stood up respectfully, and Yunzhi smiled slightly, "Secretary Zhao, thank you so much for today. I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Secretary Zhao was somewhat flattered, but she didn't show it on the surface, maintaining her calm and composed demeanor. "It's what I should do."
Yunzhi nodded without speaking, but glanced at Cheng Shuyan.
Cheng Shuyan immediately understood Yunzhi's meaning. Without Yunzhi's prompting, he coughed lightly and said, "You did a good job today. Starting this month, your salary and bonus will double, and your year-end bonus will be increased fivefold."
"Yes, Mr. Cheng." Secretary Zhao almost jumped up. After Cheng Shuyan and Yunzhi left, he took a deep breath, took out his phone, and sent a message to their secretarial and assistant office group.
How did you know that my salary and bonuses doubled starting this month, and that my year-end bonus increased fivefold this year?
Even though it was after get off work hours, Secretary Zhao's news still managed to rouse quite a few people.
[No, nobody asked you, and I have absolutely no interest in knowing why you got a raise!]
[Haha, did some people give gifts to President Cheng? I don't believe President Cheng only gave you a raise!]
Those who are in this group are basically Cheng Shuyan's confidants, so Secretary Zhao can show off without any psychological burden.
[Who said it was President Cheng who gave me the raise? It was the President's wife! I declare that from now on, the President's wife is my one and only goddess. From now on, if the President's wife's orders conflict with President Cheng's, I will always listen to the President's wife first!]
Secretary Zhao is a shrewd person. Just from Cheng Shuyan's attitude towards Yunzhi today, he knows how important Miss Yun is to the president. If Miss Yun's orders conflict with the president's in the future, he will choose Miss Yun first. The president will not only not be angry, but will also reward him.
[The CEO's wife? No, who's the CEO's wife? I just left a little earlier than you today. Didn't I resign a year ago? Would a workaholic like the CEO even have a wife?]
[I've taken a screenshot; I'll send it to the CEO tomorrow.]
[Screenshot +1.]
[You guys are really dogs.]
[The president doesn't have a wife anymore? You've forgotten, Miss Yun, the special person to the president. Zhao Gou really got her today. I wonder what he did to please Miss Yun. I wonder if Miss Yun will come tomorrow. What Zhao Gou can do, I can do too.]
[I can do that too.]
[Oh, it's Miss Yun. I understand.]
Secretary Zhao gave a soft snort, turned off her phone, and didn't send any more messages.
Yunzhi had no idea that Cheng Shuyan's expensively hired secretaries and assistants also had such a lively side.
When Yunzhi and Cheng Shuyan returned to the Yun family villa, Yunyun also came back.
Yun Yun frowned the moment she saw Cheng Shuyan. "Why are you here?"
