As Ji Rui's secretary, accompanying President Ji on business trips was supposed to be Le Tong's duty, but a few days ago, when she was booking flights for President Ji, he clearly stated he would be going with the planning minister.
Now, he suddenly drags her along, for what reason? If it's not retribution, what else could it be!!
Coming out of the airport, Le Tong dragged her luggage, following closely behind Ji Rui, staring at his tall back worryingly.
"President!"
Le Tong's ability was ultimately not as profound as Ji Rui's. After the two of them got into the company car sent by the other company, Le Tong finally couldn't help but break the two-hour silence.
Ji Rui had been staring at his palmtop computer ever since getting in the car, and now he didn't even glance at her, just replying with an "Hmm?!"
"President, do you have some dissatisfaction with me?"
Ji Rui lifted his head and looked at her with a gaze as if she were a monster, "No!"
"If I've done something wrong, President, feel free to speak up, if I deserve scolding, scold away, I won't talk back!"
Le Tong had held these words in all the way, thinking about how she'd be facing him all day in the coming days, to avoid internal suffering, she steeled herself, closed her eyes, and blurted it out.
These past few days, she was really fed up with President Ji's playful gaze and the intentional or unintentional probing.
Damn you told me to forget about that night, but why does it seem that it's you who can't forget?
First, it was probing, then trying to dismiss me with money, and now you have to drag me along on a business trip, aren't you uncomfortable, President? I'm suffering greatly!
Ji Rui's poker face remained undisturbed, still staring at her with a strange look, "Why should I scold you?"
Le Tong was going crazy, how come she never noticed before that this President Ji seemed to be from Mars?
She and he, there really is no way to communicate normally!
Stared at by Ji Rui like he was looking at a monster for a few seconds, Le Tong felt uneasy inside, but having spoken her mind, she was unwilling to leave it unresolved.
"President, weren't you originally going to come here with Minister Xiao? Why did it change to me accompanying you last minute, I have no understanding of this cooperation proposal."
This morning, Le Tong heard from the planning department that this cooperation case was very tricky, otherwise, President Ji wouldn't have flown over specifically. Since it's so tricky, letting her, who is clueless about the cooperation proposal, come over, isn't it just adding to the burden?
"You are my secretary, what's wrong with you accompanying me? I'm not asking you to sit at the negotiation table, just do your job as a secretary, isn't that okay?"
Ji Rui was surprisingly benevolent today, giving Le Tong such a lengthy explanation at once. However, this so-called patient explanation seemed more like an interrogation.
Ji Rui's words blocked all of Le Tong's guesses. Indeed, she is his secretary, accompanying him on business trips is the most normal thing, isn't it?
With him saying it like that, it made Le Tong seem like she was judging a noble person with the heart of a petty one. Mr. President is just making normal work arrangements, on what grounds do you accuse him of seeking revenge? On what grounds?!
Le Tong was silenced by one of Ji Rui's phrases and obediently stopped speaking.
The hotel wasn't far, the car soon arrived at the hotel.
Before getting out of the car, the person from the other company politely asked Ji Rui.
"Mr. Ji, I will come to pick you up for dinner in the evening, the cooperation meeting is at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, if Mr. Ji needs anything or arrangements, just let me know."
"I'll arrange dinner myself, pick us up at eight tomorrow."
Ji Rui seemed unwilling to deal with others anymore, dismissing the person with one sentence.
Walking into the hotel, Le Tong dragged her luggage, following behind Ji Rui, excited at the thought of not having to face Ji Rui soon, her heart sang happily.
Ji Rui gave his name at the front desk, and the bellboy led them to a room on the hotel's top floor, opened the door, and bowed to invite Ji Rui inside.
Le Tong handed over Ji Rui's luggage, "President, your luggage."
Ji Rui turned back and gave her a strange look, "Bring it in."
Le Tong thought to herself how President Ji's airs were getting bigger, secretly curled her lip, placed her own luggage at the door, dragged Ji Rui's luggage into the living room, and without glancing at the interior decoration, hurriedly turned around ready to run out, but saw the bellboy dragging her luggage inside.
"Hey, handsome, that's my luggage."
Le Tong took her luggage, striding out, "Handsome, which floor is my room on?"
Le Tong, knowing her place as a small secretary, realized she obviously couldn't stay in a luxury suite on the top floor like the President.
The bellboy grabbed her arm, very confused, asked, "Miss, do you want to book another room? But our guest rooms are all full."
Le Tong stopped, incredulously stared at the bellboy.
"Handsome, didn't we book a room?"
The bellboy remained puzzled, "Mr. Ji only booked this one suite, no other rooms."
Le Tong clung to the bellboy, refusing to let go. "Then where do I stay?"
"Miss, this suite has three separate rooms and also an office for video conferencing." The bellboy explained patiently.
Le Tong finally understood, the bellboy meant that for the next few days, she would be facing President Ji day and night?
"Then..."
"Still not coming in to help me sort out the luggage?" Ji Rui's words, slightly tinged with anger, interrupted Le Tong's question, and the bellboy wisely withdrew.
Le Tong resignedly dragged her luggage into the living room, only then realizing that this suite's living room was tens of square meters big, several times larger than her small apartment.
"President, why do I have to stay with you?"
Le Tong really took the plunge now, staring at Ji Rui, straight-up feeling that this man was so hypocritical it made her sick.
Ji Rui didn't look at her, lowering his head, undoing his suit buttons one by one.
Le Tong paused, suddenly recalling that morning, he buttoned his shirt one by one, just as focused now, and also, very sexy!
Le Tong shook her head, trying hard to shake off her own infatuated thoughts.
This man, how could he make her feel nauseous in the first second, and with a simple yet incredibly sexy action, turn her into ashes in the next second?!
Le Tong licked her lips, finally managing to restore herself to normal.
"President, why do I have to stay with you?"
By this time, Ji Rui had undone all the buttons of his suit, quickly taking it off and tossing it onto the back of the sofa.
Raising his eyelids, giving Le Tong a playful glance.
"Scared?" The tone, as always, cold and yet strangely eerie.
Le Tong, bewildered by Ji Rui's simple words, started to break cold sweat on her back, racking her brain for a comeback, when the man had already turned, picked up his notebook, and walked to one of the rooms, throwing back a sentence as he opened the door.
"Organize my luggage, don't disturb me before dinner!"
