YM778.TV Chapter 4 - It's Boss, Not Mr. Li
"Yes you. As far as I know you are more efficient than you look. I know your Boss wouldn\'t have let you work for him for two years were you not capable. I heard he is very picky when it comes to the people he works with so I\'m certain that you might have exceeded his expectations that is why you are still working for him or am I not correct Mr. Li? I believe he can be an excellent substitute whenever I have any emergency situation," Miss Yang said calmly as she flashed CEO Li a bright smile. Any man would have fallen head over heels for her when she smiled like that towards them but CEO Li was different, he pretended perfectly as if he was not smitten by her charming smile.
"Miss Yang, I am just an employee who lacks so much experience, so I wish you won\'t put me into a difficult position with my Boss," Yuan Quan said timidly in fear that his Boss might deal with him later on after she has left.
"Ok, Miss Yang seeing how desperate you want to work for me I will agree to your terms but just get this one fact clear, I will not hesitate to fire you and also ruin your precious reputation if you dare make even the slightest mistake while you work under me. I have nothing to lose even though I don\'t hire you. I am just doing this because of my grandpa but you are the one who has a lot to lose so keep that in mind. Ok," CEO Li said threateningly but Miss Yang did not fret, she still looked as calm and composed as ever.
"You are such a considerate grandson and don\'t worry I will keep your words in mind, but I will definitely not give you the opportunity to fire me, I promise you that," Miss Yang said confidently.
"I will hold you to your words then," CEO Li remarked.
"Boss, does this mean that you have hired Miss Yang?" Yuan Quan asked anxiously.
"Are you implying that I should repeat myself? Will you be able to handle the consequences?" CEO Li asked in annoyance as he threw him a murderous glare. Yuan Quan did not need him to say further before he handed over the pen he was holding to Miss Yang for her to sign the documents.
"I look forward to working with you, Miss Yang," Yuan Quan said as he stretched out his hand for a handshake, not knowing that his worst nightmares had just begun the moment the two people signed the contract.
"Hello girl, how did it go? Did the hot tempered CEO Li agree to your terms?" A guy asked over the phone, but the person he was talking to did not reply.
"Yang Zi, why are you so quiet? I bet your quietness means that the CEO did not agree to your conditions. You don\'t have to feel bad about it darling. We can find another CEO who is as capable as he is," the guy said, feeling very concerned.
"Hahaha... Shiyi, he agreed..... I am so happy right now," Yang Zi laughed happily. It was after she stopped laughing that she realized that people were staring at her in a weird manner.
"What? He agreed? That is great but isn\'t he kind of stupid to have agreed just like that or did he fall in love with you at first sight like your previous bosses? I thought he was different. I guess I was wrong after-all," Luo Shiyi said disappointedly. Luo Shiyi, one of Yang Zi\'s best friends, was part of a very wealthy family to the point that he didn\'t have to work his ass off in order to make a living. Anytime he wasn\'t seen at the company, people automatically knew that he was at his mansion helping out his best friend. He was the type of guy who didn\'t joke around with the people he loved. He was overprotective of Yang Zi and Shui. He didn\'t want to see either of them get hurt or bullied.
"Fallen in love with me? Are you kidding me? I would have lost had I not been quick-witted and Shiyi, this boss of mine does not like me one bit. I can see how much he hates just by the way he glares at me. You should have seen his cold expression when he threatened me. I am sure that he would have thrown me out of his company were it not for the fact that his grandpa personally recommended me," Yang Zi relayed her ordeal as she heaved a sigh of relief.
"That is not possible. Even though I have known you for more than twelve years, I still find it hard to resist your charms talkless of CEO Li who is seeing you for the first time? Are you sure he does not like men?" Shiyi asked suspiciously.
"I am serious about this! I almost had a heart attack trying to convince him some minutes ago. I am sure that he will definitely make life difficult for me when I start working for him in a week. I might not have time to carry out my set mission. That is why I will be relying on you and Qing Shui to help me out," Yang Zi, who was happy a few moments ago, said worriedly.
"I know that you got this girl. You are the same hot-headed girl that I have known for more than twelve years who does not concede defeat. So I am sure you can do this and besides you are not going to work for him forever. You will immediately quit after you have gotten what you want right? And don\'t worry, Shui and I will help you out, alright," Luo Shiyi said reassuringly.
"Yeah. You are right. I have never for once conceded defeat when I worked with tyrants, so I am sure that I can overcome this. I will meet up with you later," Yang Zi said before she cut off the line.
A week flew by in a wimp, now it was Yang Zi\'s first day at work as the secretary of CEO Li of BEST Enterprises. With her black straight skirt paired with a long sleeve white shirt, Yang Zi knocked on her boss\'s office door.
"Good morning Mr. Li, it is so nice to see you still looking very healthy after a week. I hope you had a nice week?" Yang Zi asked out of courtesy. She was debating whether he would answer her or not. If it was up to her, she would just avoid him like a plague but she knew perfectly well that it was not possible.
"It\'s Boss," CEO Li responded without even taking his eyes off the documents he was reading. It seemed like it was a habit of his not to stare at those he did not like.
"I beg your pardon," Yang Zi exclaimed without even understanding what he meant or maybe she did understand but was only playing dumb.
"It\'s Boss not Mr. Li. As far as I know, you are not a visitor or my business partner right now but my employee. So that is what you are permitted to call me or am I not right Miss Yang?" CEO Li asked sternly as he lifted off his head which was buried in his paper to look at her.
"You are correct, but can\'t I just call you CEO Li like your other employees do? Calling you Boss sounds quite odd to me," Yang Zi voiced out her displeasure without any fear.
"I want you to call me Boss as long as you work for me but you are free to quit if you can\'t do that," CEO Li said expressionlessly.
"If he is doing this to make me quit then he is very wrong. I, Yang Zi, have never backed down before and I will definitely not start it now because of you," Yang Zi thought angrily but she maintained her calm expression.
"I will, Boss," Yang Zi said as she gritted her teeth in anger.
