Master Duan’s Beloved Wife: A Lovely Spendthrift - Chapter 11

Duan Weiqi asked calmly, “So why do they release fake news to lower their stock prices? To some extent, it’s the same as a suicide for a company.”

“You know what? This is just a strategy in the stock market.” He Yueyu explained to him confidently.

Duan Weiqi looked at her with an encouraging smile.

“It can first take advantage of fake news to depress stock price, and then release new products until the truth is revealed. If all goes well, Jiabao Industry can pump up its stock price immediately and make a killing from it. This is not complicated to understand…”

He Yueyu was talking excitedly while she found Duan Weiqi cast her an admiring glance with an affirmative smile.

She paused and stared at him in wonder, “Why are you looking at me like this?”

Duan Weiqi reached out and ruffled her hair. “Do you want to be my assistant in the company?” He proposed seriously.

“Be your assistant?” He Yueyu was surprised by his advice and raised her voice, “Why?”

What happened? Why did their topic suddenly shift from stock price to assistant?

“Because…” Duan Weiqi gave her a charming smile, “I just feel that you have certain potential in investing stocks…”

He had to admitted that she was gifted in seeing big things through small ones, which even he himself wasn’t very good at. Since she could forecast the strategic intent of Jiabao Industry according to her daily experience in a convincing logic, he couldn’t just leave her at home as a maid. He always cherished talent, what’s more, He Yueyu was even better than those investment experts in his company.

He Yueyu widened her mouth and was too astonished to say a word. She couldn’t believe her ears. Was he inviting her to work for him seriously?

Duan Weiqi took a sincere look to tempt her, “Three months of probation, one hundred thousand new Taiwan dollars a month, and double the salary at the end of probation. What do you think?”

“One hundred thousand new Taiwan dollars?” He Yueyu stared at him in disbelief, and a warm feeling welled up from her heart. She asked in astonishment, “Do you really want me to be your assistant?”

A salary of NT $ 100,000 was nothing to her, but this was the first time she had the opportunity to earn her own living.

“Of course, there is also a bonus salary if you perform well. The better you work, the more rewards you get!”

He Yueyu was in a state of great excitement that she smiled at Duan Weiqi with delight and gratitude. Duan Weiqi didn’t realize that her brightness was such a great temptation to him.

With a tremor in the bottom of his heart, he suddenly put his hands on her shoulders, and slowly leaned his handsome face toward her. He Yueyu was in the excitement of having a new job, when she found his approach, she couldn’t help widening her eyes. What did he want…

Looking at his attractive eyes and sexy lips, she felt her pulse was racing. Did he… did he want to kiss me?

As the two fell into a romantic ambiguity, a knock came to the door.

The sudden sound caused the two to separate from each other as quickly as a frightened deer when Feng Yu walked in, “Mr. Duan, I bought the ointment as you said…”

“Okay, I see.”

Duan Weiqi pulled himself together quickly but felt embarrassed for the first time in his lifetime. While He Yueyu was blushing and could not believe what just happened.

Or maybe it should say, what did she just miss?

The photocopier on the top floor was broken, so He Yueyu carried a stack of documents to the Planning Department on the 24th floor to do her job.

Duan Weiqi went to America on business with his special assistant Feng Yu not long after she served as his assistant.

Before leaving, Duan Weiqi asked Jin Moli, the head of the Secretarial Department, to supervise her, who was also responsible for helping He Yueyu to familiarize herself with the various basics needed for work.

However, Jin Moli seemed to place obstacles in her path deliberately. She was the junior assistant of Duan Weiqi, but Jin Moli gave all the trivial work to her.

He Yueyu grumbled silently to herself about what Jin Moli had done while copying materials mechanically. She thought she did not hold a bias against Jin Moli, but a woman’s intuition told her that Jin Moli clearly wanted to give her a hard time.

Her lower abdomen had been extremely uncomfortable from morning because of her menstrual period.

She wanted to sit at her desk and took a break, but twenty minutes ago, Jin Moli threw a thick pile of documents on the desk and ordered her to finish them before eleven o’clock.

“Yueyu…”

When she was talking herself into doing this, she heard the voice of Li Meiyu, a young girl working in the planning department, who was popular with employees here for her lively, generous and enthusiastic personality since she worked here.

Since Jin Moli seemed unwilling to find someone to repair the broken photocopier on the top floor on purpose, He Yueyu could only run up and down with documents every day. These days she often used the photocopier in the Planning Department. Thus, she and Li Meiyu became close friends.

Li Meiyu came towards her also with a large pile of documents and smiled, “Is the photocopier upstairs still broken?”

“Yep.” She nodded weakly. She really felt exhausted to stand here making photocopies for such a long time, which made her feet limp and head dizzy. Even her voice turned drawling.

Li Meiyu looked at her worriedly, “What happened to you, Yueyu? You look pale today. Are you sick and not feeling well?”

“Don’t worry.” She answered with a forced smile, “Today is the first day of my menstrual period, so I feel a little feeble now. I will drink some hot water later.”

While she was chatting with Li Meiyu, the last document was finally copied. After she sorted out the photocopied materials, her eyes suddenly went blurry. Fortunately, she held the table edge in time so that she would not fall to the ground.

“Since you are in menstrual period, don’t run up and down too much. I think there are some painkillers in my bag. If you don’t mind, I can send them to your office until I finish the work at hand. Take two pills at one time, and you may feel better. It is quite effective for menstrual period pain. ”

“Okay!” Yue Yu nodded gratefully. “Then I’ll go up first. Don’t forget the medicine when you’re free. Thanks!”

After saying goodbye to Meiyu, she shuffled back to her desk with heavy footsteps. Before her butt was placed on the chair, a sound of stilettos came to her ears.

“Pa!” Another thick stack of documents was dumped on her desk.

Jin Moli, who always put on a haughty face, stood there and looked down at her, “Miss He, please prepare 15 copies for each of these documents and send them to the Finance Department to Manager Lin before half past eleven.”

He Yueyu stood up with trembling legs. She looked at the documents on her desk, and then looked up at Jin Moli. “Secretary Jin, according to my common sense, this photocopying work should not be my duty.”

He Yueyu had a growing feeling that everything this woman had done was persecuting her, but she didn’t know what she had done that offended her.

Jin Moli sneered, “All right, Miss He, what do you think is the scope of your work as a junior assistant?”

Jin Moli hated this girl called He Yueyu very much. She could not believe that she was just a maid of Mr. Duan before, but soon promoted as one of his assistants only because she had a damn talent in stocks.

As a secretary of Duan Weiqi for three years, she knew that he was not a lady’s man in his private life. He behaved himself so decently that he would never be mired in sexual scandals easily.

Precisely because of his decency, she had a crush on him since long ago. She believed nothing was impossible for a willing heart but did not expect there appeared a strange girl on her way to success.

She would never forget that Duan Weiqi scolded her in public only for a maid. Also from then on, she felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Therefore, she would do whatever it took to get rid of the one obstructing her from being Duan Weiqi’s only love.

“Let me remind you, I’m Mr. Duan’s assistant, not your errand girl…”

“Really?” She simpered indifferently. “Mr. Duan handed you over to me for training before leaving for America. I just want you to be familiar with the working environment here in various ways. Well, so do you feel incapable of working here right now? ”
