Chapter 11: Chapter 011 Are you kidding me?
"Minister Lin, it seems we are quite fated to meet."
Ye Chen approached with a wicked smile, and under Lin Shiyu's murderous gaze, he took a seat on the office desk.
"Get lost, who would want to be fated with scum like you." Lin Shiyu's face showed disgust, "A thug like you, I will definitely not let you stay in the company to cause trouble for others."
Having said that, Lin Shiyu picked up the phone on the desk, pressed a few buttons, and then said, "President Su, I request to dismiss the newly arrived Marketing Department assistant."
Su Xiyue was taken aback and said, "What did he do to make you so angry that you want to dismiss him as soon as he arrives?"
Lin Shiyu hesitated for a moment, not revealing the truth to her but instead tactfully said, "I don't think he is suited to be the Marketing Department assistant."
After a few seconds of silence, Su Xiyue finally spoke in a faint voice, "Shiyu, for my sake, let him keep working there for now."
Lin Shiyu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, what kind of background did this bastard have that even Su Xiyue would plead on his behalf?
Taking a deep breath, Lin Shiyu said solemnly, "I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen quickly apologized sincerely, "Minister Lin, that day was really a misunderstanding; I apologize to you."
A man has to know when to stretch and when to shrink. This chick was clearly his immediate boss, and it was important to maintain a good relationship, although it seemed useless now.
Lin Shiyu's eyes flickered, and a scheme came to mind. Then she said coldly to Ye Chen, "Your job is to be an assistant in the Marketing Department, and I'll tell you now about your main responsibilities."
"Your job is simple. Not only do you have to handle your own sales tasks, but you must also assist your colleagues when they encounter difficulties in their work, take charge of the cleanliness and other logistical affairs of the Marketing Department, and also, prevent strangers from casually entering and leaving the Marketing Department."
"Lin Shiyu, you are mixing personal grievances with official duties. This is no assistant; this is busier than your role as the minister. I've basically become the nanny of the Marketing Department. Are you playing with me?"
After hearing Lin Shiyu's description of the job, Ye Chen was instantly enraged and yelled.
Seeing Ye Chen's angry face brought a sense of satisfaction to Lin Shiyu. She said indifferently, "I am playing with you, and if you can't accept it, you can go to President Su."
Having finished, Lin Shiyu's face even turned a bit red; well-raised as she was, it was the first time she had used such coarse language, but it felt pretty good indeed.
"What? Minister Lin, if you had told me this idea earlier, we could have just gone to the break room now, and you could do whatever you want."
Ye Chen chuckled.
Lin Shiyu automatically tuned out Ye Chen's nonsensical words and said in a flat tone, "If you're not willing to do the job, you can leave right now."
With the strength of the Su Group, and with such a male-to-female ratio, there were definitely countless people queued up to apply for this position, so Lin Shiyu was fearless.
"Work, why wouldn't I work."
Ye Chen said through gritted teeth.
This Lin Shiyu clearly wanted him to leave on his own, but he was determined not to comply with her wishes. Besides, there were so many beautiful women here; it would be stupid to just leave.
"Follow me."
Lin Shiyu said coldly and went ahead out of the office.
After Ye Chen followed her to the office area, Lin Shiyu clapped her hands to get everyone's attention and said.
"This is the new Marketing Department assistant Ye Chen. If anyone has any difficulties in the future, you can go to him. Let's welcome him."
After everyone clapped to welcome him, Lin Shiyu left.
No sooner had Lin Shiyu walked away than the colleagues became lively. It had been a long time since a male entered their Marketing Department. With the situation already being a case of too many wolves and not enough meat, the arrival of a fresh face like Ye Chen was bound to stir excitement.
At that moment, a beauty walked over, the very Liu Fangfei who had met him at the entrance. She came up to Ye Chen and said in a coquettish voice, "Assistant Ye, you really fooled me badly."
"But I did tell you I was the new assistant; it's not my fault you didn't believe it." Ye Chen said with a smile.
Feifei, you're fast," a woman in a beige dress said with a light laugh.
Little brother, you have to be careful about Feifei. In our Marketing Department, she is notorious for eating men alive without leaving anything behind," another voluptuous woman warned, pointing at Liu Fangfei with a playful laugh.
"Little brother, don't listen to their nonsense. These gossipy women only know how to slander me; I am a pure person," Liu Fangfei defended herself with a giggle.
Liu Fangfei said with a smile.
"Really?"
Ye Chen looked at Liu Fangfei, who exuded a mature charm, and couldn't help but be a bit skeptical.
Being surrounded by such a group of enchanting women, flirting with him one after the other, he finally got a taste of what female ruffians were like.
Women are really terrifying.
It took more than ten minutes for the women to finally quiet down and go about their respective tasks.
Ye Chen arrived at his desk to find it neatly tidied up. Someone kind must have done this, probably some girl who was charmed by his good looks.
He knocked on the desk opposite of him and asked, "Hey, beauty, who cleaned my desk?"
The woman across from him slowly raised her head, an innocent and gorgeous lady, surely campus beauty material, especially those big eyes, clear as water, giving off the impression of a good girl through and through.
The girl blushed and said in a shy, soft voice, "I cleaned it."
After speaking, she bashfully lowered her head again, a hint of redness on her face.
Hmm? Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. He was self-aware enough to know that he wasn't the kind of fresh meat that would stun someone at first sight. At most, he was just a little handsome, but that was hardly enough to make a girl bashful at the sight of him.
Blushing? Shy?
Ha-ha, this girl is interesting.
"What's your name?"
Ye Chen asked the girl opposite him.
It was rare to find such a pure girl like a blank sheet of paper among these women.
Especially in the Marketing Department, a place responsible for sales and PR, people who blushed just talking to strangers made one doubt their business ability.
"Lin Yuwei."
The girl replied with her head down, her soft, delicate voice igniting a protective instinct.
"Little Weiwei, am I that scary that you won't even lift your head?"
Ye Chen said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Yuwei slightly raised her head, but when she saw Ye Chen smiling at her, she quickly lowered it again, her little face turning red.
Since it was their first meeting, Ye Chen didn't want to overdo it. He turned on the computer and after fiddling around a bit, he downloaded the very popular game League of Legends.
The company's internet was fast, and it only took about ten minutes to download. Ye Chen couldn't wait to delve into the game.
"Teemo, you think you can ambush me in the bushes."
Although it was his first time playing, Ye Chen's exceptional talent had him playing like a pro in no time. Although he was a noob, he had entered a new realm of noob-ness.
Time flew by, and just after finishing one game, the morning was already over.
Right after work, Liu Fangfei came over to invite Ye Chen to lunch at the company restaurant. Ye Chen took the opportunity to thank Lin Yuwei and brought her along with him to the restaurant on the twentieth floor.
The restaurant belonged to the Su Group's internal facilities. Su Xiyue aimed to improve the company's welfare, hiring professional chefs for the restaurant. Not only was there a variety of dishes, the taste was no less than that of big hotels outside.
Moreover, since the meals were free for company staff, most of the Su Group employees would dine in the restaurant after work.
When the three of them arrived, the seats were already mostly taken. Looking around, the number of women far exceeded the men.
Despite the abundance of women, when the three of them arrived, they still attracted a lot of attention. Liu Fangfei and Lin Yuwei were known beauties in the Su Group, one sexy and one innocent. Now, both were accompanying a man to lunch, how could they not draw eyes.
Seeing the hostile glares, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile ruefully, "It seems I can't have lunch with you two. I'm about to become public enemy number one."
Liu Fangfei suddenly wrapped her arm around Ye Chen's, breathing softly, "Would you really abandon us two beauties?"
A bitter smile appeared on Ye Chen's face. This woman was definitely doing it on purpose.
But feeling those murderous looks, Ye Chen beat a hasty retreat.
