Chapter 246: The New Secretary!
Ever since Xia Xiaowei found out Jiang Cheng was preparing to hire a secretary, she immediately used all her connections to get into the loop.
Getting the opportunity to interview with Jiang Cheng, she finally succeeded, feeling a bit like she was dreaming?
To be honest, Xia Xiaowei initially didn't think she could become Jiang Cheng's secretary, and she came to apply just to give it a shot, putting in all her effort to increase this possibility, but when it came to confidence, Xia Xiaowei's heart never had a guarantee.
After all, she was applying to be the secretary for Jiang Cheng, a person seemingly surrounded by a halo of miracles!
Now, she actually succeeded so easily... to be honest, even now, Xia Xiaowei feels this is somewhat unreal, like she's dreaming, she'd had so many dreams before where this scene seems to appear often?
Xia Xiaowei hesitated for a moment, looked at Jiang Cheng, and seeing that he wasn't paying attention to her, she immediately stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek—ah, that hurts! But this also means that she isn't dreaming, it's all real—she really became Jiang Cheng's secretary.
Unknowingly, Xia Xiaowei's face was full of a joyful smile.
Jiang Cheng glanced back at Xia Xiaowei who was grinning foolishly, and for a moment found it amusing as well, he said, "Why are you smiling foolishly? Come with me."
"Oh, mhm." Xia Xiaowei suddenly realized she was a bit out of line just now, as the secretary of the absolute legendary figure—Jiang Cheng, such a silly smile is definitely not allowed!
Furthermore, she's still on the probationary period, if she gets fired on the second day, that would really be crying without tears!
So, she must quickly pull herself together!
Thinking of this, Xia Xiaowei's expression immediately became serious.
Jiang Cheng had no idea that in such a short moment, Xia Xiaowei had so much inner activity, seeing her look tense, he thought it was because she was nervous from his reprimand, so laughed and said, "No need to be so nervous, your work isn't that difficult—in fact, it's very simple, you just need to assist me in completing some related work, come with me first."
"Mhm." Xia Xiaowei nodded and was then led by Jiang Cheng to the office.
Arriving at Jiang Cheng's office, Xia Xiaowei seemed a bit nervous as Jiang Cheng had reviewed her profile; naturally, he knew that although she had management experience at her own company, this was her first time applying elsewhere, she was bound to feel a bit nervous, afraid of failing and messing things up, unable to do this job well.
Jiang Cheng looked at Xia Xiaowei and after thinking for a moment said, "Let me introduce you to your colleague."
"My colleague?" Xia Xiaowei was taken aback by these words and then asked, "You have a second secretary?"
"Not quite, but you could say so." Jiang Cheng chuckled, "Because she is not human, but she executes many of my commands accurately. If you don't understand something, you can ask her, if there's something troublesome, you can consult her, or if you're undecided and cannot reach me, you can discuss with her and get things sorted out, as I need to focus my energy and time on experiments, which is the main reason I brought you to my company as a secretary."
Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, Xia Xiaowei naturally became confused—what does he mean by not human? Could it be some other animal? Or aliens, ghosts? Her imagination ran wild for a moment, but from Jiang Cheng's tone, her mysterious colleague seems pretty formidable!
"I understand." Even though she didn't understand what Jiang Cheng was exactly saying and who that colleague was, Xia Xiaowei still nodded and said.
"Mhm." Jiang Cheng nodded, turned the computer screen around to face Xia Xiaowei, and said, "Come out, Lucy. This is my secretary, Xia Xiaowei; from today on, she is one of your colleagues, so get along well, okay?"
"Huh?" Xia Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, only to see on the computer screen, in the next moment, a cute girl with short blue hair appeared.
This short blue-haired girl, Jiang Cheng just called her Lucy—was that her name? Xia Xiaowei instinctively guessed. Meanwhile, her earlier questions finally got answered, it turns out her new colleague is not an alien or a strange being, but an intelligent life.
The moment Xia Xiaowei saw Lucy, she realized this, but even as she realized this, knowing it was true, she still found it a bit unbelievable that Jiang Cheng actually managed to successfully create an intelligent life form? The kind that usually only appears in movies, actually appearing in the real world!
No, Xia Xiaowei thought carefully, Jiang Cheng's inventions, whether the Transparent Phone or the Virtual Reality Device, aren't these things only supposed to appear in movies? Now having an intelligent life form doesn't seem that odd! It's very logical, isn't it?
Thinking of this, Xia Xiaowei felt relieved, and then proactively greeted Lucy, saying, "Hello, my name is Xia Xiaowei, just became Chairman Jiang's secretary, from now on, we are colleagues."
"Hello, my name is Lucy, you may call me that directly. As you might think, I am the intelligent life created by Master Jiang Cheng—your colleague as well, let's serve Master Jiang Cheng together." Lucy smiled as she spoke, in her concept, loyalty to Jiang Cheng is absolute, she also sincerely likes Jiang Cheng, and wouldn't betray him ever. Furthermore, in her programming, concepts like jealousy or envy do not exist, not feeling less important to Jiang Cheng just because he hired a secretary, and not getting a bit jealous.
Although removing such emotional aspects makes her less human-like and emotionally subtle, Jiang Cheng created Lucy to assist with work, to serve him, not to be in a romantic relationship—it's a reasonable setup without any issues.
Jiang Cheng, looking at Xia Xiaowei's surprisingly unshocked expression, said with some surprise, "Really unexpected, you're the first person in the company, aside from me, to see Lucy's existence, even the company's President and CEO, Zhang Manlin, isn't aware of Lucy's existence, yet you seem to stay quite composed?"
