My Second Life As A Secretary - Chapter 9
He Zining couldn’t help but yawned again. The time on the computer showed that it was past eleven o’clock. Gu Siye was still in the office for a remote meeting, and it seemed that it would not end in a while.
Maybe only the top floor of the entire Zhenfeng Building is still lit.
She really has nothing to do, but she can’t get off work early. She can only use her mobile phone to browse the forum and reply to her posts from time to time.
Because she updates every few days, a group of netizens are also following in the post, and she will interact with these netizens when she has time.
After all, the CEO sounds like a very high-level profession, most people have no chance to see it with their own eyes, and naturally they are curious about what the CEO’s life is like.
He Zining is a serious secretary to the president. Answering these questions is not a piece of cake?
In addition, her usual Q&A with netizens also verified the authenticity of her story from the side, so her post was also set as a highlight post by the moderator.
He Zining was typing enthusiastically to reply to netizens, but the internal phone suddenly rang loudly. She was so caught off guard that she almost threw the phone out of her hand.
She quickly realized what was going on and answered the phone in a hurry.
“Hello, Mr. Gu.”
“The coffee machine is broken, you buy a cup of coffee.” He Zining agreed as usual.
Never say no to a leader, this is her workplace norm.
As soon as she hung up the phone, she grabbed the phone and ran away. She remembered hearing from other colleagues during dinner that they often ordered coffee delivery from the opposite cafe when they were working overtime, at eleven o’clock I don’t know if they are closed.
If it doesn’t open, I really don’t know what to do. The standard of living in this world is indeed not that developed, and there are no 24-hour cafes, not to mention convenience stores.
He Zining hurriedly took the elevator to enter the lobby. The lobby at night was extraordinarily empty, with only one security guard patrolling the lobby. The other party saw He Zining greeting her: “He Mi is working overtime again?”
We usually greet each other when going to and from get off work. Although she doesn’t know the name of the security uncle, she often meets and gets familiar with each other, so she nodded with a smile: “Yeah, today Anyone else working overtime?”
The other party replied, “I saw someone on the tenth floor on patrol just now.”
“That’s it, everyone is working hard.” He Zining replied casually, in fact, her mind had drifted to the cafe across the road, “Uncle, let me ask, the cafe across the road is still open. ?”
The security guard recalled, scratched his head and said uncertainly: “It seems to be open, right? I don’t know very well.”
“Then I’ll go out and take a look.”
“It’s okay, you’re busy.”
He Zining ran out of the hall and was pleasantly surprised to see that the cafe opposite was still lit, and ran over immediately.
Although she passes by every day at work, she has never observed this cafe carefully, and even has a general impression of the name of the store, and it is completely unclear what it is called.
The decoration style of the cafe is very similar to the cafes in foreign movies. The side facing the street is completely replaced with glass windows with dark brown wooden frames. There are also two potted plants at the entrance, which are simple and elegant. By now, it might become an online celebrity punch card shop.
There is an exquisite luminous light sign hanging on the store, and the store name MundoNovo is marked with squiggly characters. She could only recognize that it was not in English, and she was not quite sure what it meant.
At this time, she didn’t forget to complain, the author of this novel knew at first glance that he had no life experience, and the name of the domestic business license store was not allowed to have English.
Through the window she can see the situation in the store clearly – there are no customers, just a clerk sitting at the bar with a laptop in front of her, staring at the screen very intently .
He stood up and greeted He Zining: “Hello!”
“Hello, is it still open?” He Zining immediately recognized that the clerk was the one he met at the door of the company two days ago, because the appearance is too good to be unforgettable.
The clerk showed an apologetic expression after hearing this: “I’m sorry, our store is closed…”
He Zining was a little disappointed when she heard this, but she also replied with understanding: “Okay, I understand, I’m sorry.” She turned around and was about to leave, thinking about where to get coffee at this point. .
Just when her hand was already touching the door handle, the male clerk suddenly stopped her again.
“Wait!”
He Zining turned around and saw the male clerk sincerely say to her, “If you can wait, I can make a cup now, okay?”
He Zining was overjoyed and hurriedly expressed her thanks: “Really? Thank you so much! I’m so sorry to delay you from get off work.”
No wonder the business of this cafe is so good, even if the clerk is handsome, she still has such a good heart!
The clerk smiled and replied: “It doesn’t matter, anyway, there is nothing to do in the store at night, you sit down first, it will take about twenty minutes.”
“Okay.” He Zining sat on the high chair beside the bar and chatted with him while watching the clerk grind coffee.
“Are you the only employee in your store? Are you usually busy?”
“There is a part-timer who will come to help. The store is busy on weekdays, but it will be easier on weekends.”
He Zining understood the reason as soon as he heard it, Zhenfeng does not work on weekends!
“Your business is the opposite of other stores.”
“Hehe, that’s true, you are also an employee of Zhenfeng, right?”
He Zining laughed at himself: “Yes, otherwise who would want to go out to buy coffee in business clothes at night?”
“It’s too hard to get off work so late, but drinking so late is not good for sleep?”
He Zining couldn’t help sighing after hearing this: “So I haven’t gotten off work yet.”
“It’s so late?” The clerk was also taken aback. After he glanced at the clock in the store in surprise, his expression became even more surprised: “It’s almost zero now, you haven’t gotten off work yet?”
“You are also working very hard. You are still in the store so late.”
“I’m fine. Actually, I live in the store and it only opens in the afternoon.”
He Zining felt that something was not quite right. This should not be an employee, but a boss? How can there be such a dedicated staff?
“Are you the boss here?”
“Yes.” The man smiled and asked, “Don’t I look like me?”
He Zining suddenly realized, patted his forehead, it seems that he is working overtime and stupid, and even the most basic judgment ability is lost, “So it is, I just wanted to say that if you were a clerk, I really have to apply to the boss for a salary increase for you, the service attitude is really good.”
“Although I can’t raise my salary, I still want to thank you for your recognition.”
He Zining chatted with the boss while waiting for the coffee, but she did not feel that the waiting time was boring, and after the coffee was ground, the whole room exuded a faint coffee aroma, although she did not like drinking it Coffee, but still smells good and refreshing.
This boss has a really good personality, gentle and funny, chatting with him just feels like a spring breeze, which makes people feel good. The other party told her about his own experience. He originally studied abroad and did not want to work in the company after returning to China. It happened that he liked coffee again, so he opened such a store.
This is simply He Zining’s dream life, he can open a small shop, don’t ask for a lot of money, just enough for living expenses, you don’t have to get up early, stay in the shop and chat with customers, boring From time to time, watch movies, develop your own hobbies, etc.
Of course, she also knows that if she wants to live this kind of life, she must have capital. Not everyone can be the boss, and it can be seen from the conversation of the other party that his family background is not too bad.
So stop dreaming yourself, let’s take a good job in the class in front of you, save a sum of money and talk about your dreams!
After more than ten minutes, the coffee was finally brewed. The boss packed the coffee in a paper bag. After thinking about it, he took out two small paper bags from the fresh-keeping cabinet and put them in the packaging bag. , handed it to He Zining, and explained, “I don’t know if you have dinner at night. These are the two oatmeal muffins left in the store. I’ll give them to you.”
This boss is too kind!
He Zining was exhausted from working overtime for too long, but now he suddenly encountered people who cared about him, and he was almost moved to tears, “Why are you embarrassed? It’s not easy for you to open a store.”
“It’s alright, all these breads have to be disposed of after today. It’s a waste to throw them away. I can’t eat them alone. You’re doing me a favor.”
She suddenly got the benefits of crossing into the world of novels, the passerby characters are really heartwarming!
“That’s it, even if I bought it.” He Zining took out the money and forced to pay the bill. Give me a discount next time.”
In the end, the boss accepted it and handed He Zining a business card, “Next time you need to buy coffee, you can call me directly, and you don’t have to go downstairs.”
“Okay, it’s really convenient to have a phone.” She took the business card, the name, address, and contact number of the cafe on the front, and the menu on the back. The business card is very well designed. It looks very stylish and classy.
She sighed casually: “The design is so beautiful.”
“I made this myself.”
“Boss, you are really amazing.” He Zining couldn’t help but wonder if the other party was a passerby. If it was a passerby, it would be great!
“No, the small shop can only rely on itself, try not to spend money on problems that can be solved by themselves.”
“By the way, what is your surname, boss?”
“My surname is Qin, Qin Muzhou, the Mu of Harmony, the continent of the oasis.”
He Zining just wanted to ask for a surname, but she didn’t expect the other party to be so honest and even said her name, so she had to introduce herself: “My surname is He, He Zining, that’s the child, An Ning’s Ning.”
“Miss He’s name is very nice.”
“Thank you, your name is also very nice.” He Zining is not good at dealing with such mutual praise occasions. She can praise others unilaterally, but when she hears others praise herself, she will feel a little uncomfortable. Excuse me. “Then I’ll interrupt your rest, goodbye!”
“Okay, work hard.”
She came out of the cafe with a packing bag, and suddenly felt that her mental state was much fuller than before, and there was a feeling of being cured.
Ok, keep working hard, workers??
