A black car sped through the rain and slowly stopped under the building.
Qiao Mu held an umbrella and hurriedly walked to Ling Han's side. She anxiously said, "Director Ling, what are you doing? Come back with me quickly. The doctor said you can't leave the hospital yet. "
Ling Han was indifferent. "Qiao Mu, go back first. I'll wait for her here."
"Director Ling … how long are you going to wait?"
"Wait until she comes to see me."
Qiao Mu furrowed her brows with mixed feelings.
As the rain grew heavier, Qiao Mu steeled herself and stuffed the umbrella into Ling Han's hands. She braved the rain and rushed into the building, banging on the apartment door loudly.
It was Gu Sinian who opened the door. He stared at Qiao Mu warily.
"What are you doing?"
"Where's Secretary Ye? I want to see Secretary Ye. I have something to say to her."
Qiao Mu stayed upstairs for a long time.
The rain was pouring down. Ling Han threw away the umbrella and looked at the window on the third floor. He vaguely saw Ye Huanyan's figure. His face was full of tears. He raised his wrist to wipe the water droplets on his face and tried to see more clearly. However, when he opened his eyes again, there was no one on the windowsill.
Qiao Mu walked out of the rain in a daze and stopped in front of Ling Han. "Director Ling, I …"
"She doesn't want to see me, right? I expected it. You don't have to say it."
Qiao Mu's expression was complicated. In the end, he did not dare to look into Ling Han's eyes and stammered, "She said she'll go back to work at Pleasure next Monday on the condition that you don't come again."
Ling Han's body stiffened and looked at Qiao Mu in disbelief. "What did you say?"
Qiao Mu took a deep breath. "Secretary Ye said she's willing to go back to work at the company. She …"
"You're telling the truth?"
At that moment, Ling Han felt like his heart had started beating again. He was wild with joy. The rain was pouring down on his face, but he did not feel cold.
Just as he was about to ask another question, the world suddenly spun, and he fell straight to the ground.
Qiao Mu exclaimed, "Director Ling …"
The 'statue' downstairs finally left.
A muffled voice came from the room, with a hint of sobbing. "He left?"
Beside the window sill, Gu Sinian's gaze pierced through the rain-splashed glass window to look at Ling Han, who was being helped into the carriage by Qiao Mu. He calmly responded, "Mhm, let's go."
Ye Huanyan had just cried.
Qiao Mu's words allowed her despairing heart toward Ling Han to find a trace of vitality.
She was willing to give him another chance.
But Gu Sinian knew that she still hated Ling Han.
She resented him for being suspicious of her, resented him for not trusting her.
"Brother, help me investigate the matter Qiao Mu mentioned."
Ye Huanyan's voice was a bit hoarse, and her red eyes were cold.
Gu Sinian nodded. He knew that Ye Huanyan was not a timid person, and she was not someone who would believe everything anyone said. Even though Qiao Mu said so, she still had doubts in her heart. Her rationality told her that she must thoroughly understand this matter.
"Okay," he agreed.
Then it was Saturday and Sunday, and Ling Han did not come again.
However, Qiao Mu packed Ye Huanyan's luggage and sent it over, saying that Lingling helped to pack it. Inside were the clothes she was used to wearing at work, and there were even some clean and fresh clothes. They were all neatly arranged and placed in one suitcase.
Qiao Mu's complexion was haggard, as if he had aged several years overnight.
When he looked at Ye Huanyan, his eyes were full of regret, and he did not even have the confidence to speak to her.
He was originally a high-spirited man in the workplace.
"Secretary Ye, I sincerely hope that you can reconcile with Director Ling. I will take responsibility for all the mistakes. I will resign immediately and never appear in front of you again."
"No need." Ye Huanyan looked at him coldly.
"I didn't say that I completely believed what you said, nor did I say that I would forgive you. You should do what you should do, and I don't need you to interfere in the matter between Ling Han and me."
She closed the door and shut Qiao Mu outside.
Before Qiao Mu could say anything about Ling Han being hospitalized, she was rebuffed, and she stood there awkwardly for a while before leaving.
On Monday, Ye Huanyan returning to work at Pleasure was a big deal. Xiao Dong solemnly returned the door card and work pass to Ye Huanyan. "Secretary Ye, welcome back."
Xiao Dong was very grateful to Ye Huanyan. If it were not for Ye Huanyan, she would not have been able to stay because of her carelessness and involvement in the incident of the leak of the artist's information.
Ye Huanyan's smile was a bit dull. She glanced at Xiao Dong, put on the work pass, and said lightly, "Let's go."
The assistant team still looked the same as before. When they saw Ye Huanyan, they did not show any surprise as if they had made an agreement. Everyone respectfully greeted Ye Huanyan like before.
Xiao Dong led Ye Huanyan back to the office. Her seat was still the same as when she left. Even the two gel pens in the pen holder were still in the same place.
"Secretary Ye, you just came back. Take a rest first. I'll go to the finance department to get the report."
"Wait." Ye Huanyan put down her bag and turned to look at Xiao Dong. "The finance department always sends the report themselves. When did they need you to get it?"
Xiao Dong paused for a moment. "They … …"
Without Ye Huanyan, the Secretary Department had become an empty shell. Xiao Dong was not as efficient as Ye Huanyan, and he was too easygoing. It was inevitable that he would be looked down upon.
Ye Huanyan frowned and turned around to pick up the phone on the desk.
She turned and asked Xiao Dong. "Which month's financial report?"
"Two months ago."
Ye Huanyan's face darkened when she heard this.
Xiao Dong, who was standing at the side, was anxious. Ye Huanyan asked coldly. "Why is the financial report from two months ago not here yet? Also, is there no one in the finance department? Do you need the secretaries to run errands for you? "
"… …"
"Who am I? You must be new. Get your Manager Wang to answer the phone. Tell him that my name is Ye Huanyan. "
"… …"
Less than five minutes after Ye Huanyan hung up the phone, Xiao Zhang from the finance department ran into the Secretary Department with a stack of reports. He was sweating profusely and stammered. "Secretary Ye, these are the financial reports for the past two months. Manager Wang asked me to send them over. I … …"
"If there is a mistake in the figures, your department can forget about getting this month's bonus. Also, go back and tell Manager Wang that before he orders my secretaries to run errands for him, he must read the company's department assignment chart. He must know the consequences of breaking the rules."
Xiao Zhang nodded.
Xiao Dong was dumbfounded by Ye Huanyan's thunderous actions. She swallowed hard and said, "Sister Ye, you are so impressive."
Ye Huanyan glanced at Xiao Dong. "You have been working for me for a few months, and you still haven't learned this. What is the Secretary Department for? The Secretary Department is directly under the President's office. It is one level higher than the Assistant Department. Other than the President, you don't need to listen to anyone else. Do you understand?"
After all, Xiao Dong was still young. Although she said she understood, she was not confident.
But Ye Huanyan was back, and she regained her confidence.
