Chief Secretary Helen called Lin Manyi and asked her why the report had not been submitted yet.

Lin Manyi explained that she called the managers of the sales and marketing departments, but neither of them answered the phone, so the report was not collected.

Helen snorted coldly, "Who told you to call the manager? You could just call the administrative assistant of their department. If you can't even do this, go and explain it to the president yourself."

Lin Manyi wanted to say that it was Helen who told her that she had to find the manager first for everything, and now she said that she could find the administrative assistant. This was clearly a trap for her.

But she didn't make any distinction. Instead, she came to the door of the president's office and heard Sheng Kaiqi losing his temper inside.

She knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Cage's voice was cold.

Lin Manyi pushed the door open and saw a mess on the floor. She put the report in her hand in front of Sheng Kaiqi as if she didn't see it.

"I'm sorry, this is my first day at work today and I'm not familiar with many of the business matters yet. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble." Lin Manyi said expressionlessly.

Sheng Kaiqi was surprised why Lin Manyi came to work in his company. He casually opened the report and saw that there was one more item than usual for the same period comparison, which made the data more convincing.

"Who asked you to add this item?"

Lin Manyi thought she had added it by mistake, "I'm sorry, it was my own idea. If it's not needed, I'll delete it immediately."

Helen stood at the door, waiting for Lin Manyi to come out, covered in dust and dirt after being scolded, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from inside.

After reading the report, Sheng Kaiqi expressed his approval of Lin Manyi's self-assertion, and said that she would compile such reports in the future and then write a report to him.

Lin Manyi breathed a sigh of relief. "Then if there's nothing else, can I leave?"

Sheng Kaiqi looked up, stared at Lin Manyi for a while, and asked, "Have you broken up with Wang Chuxiang?"

"Yes."

"Then how did you get into the company? Don't tell me you applied for the job on your own. As far as I know, the CEO's office has no plans to recruit recently."

Sheng Kaiqi stared at Lin Manyi with burning eyes, not missing any change in expression on her face.

Lin Manyi knew that any lie she told would eventually be exposed, so she might as well tell the truth.

"Miss Xixi recommended me here."

"Xixi?" Sheng Kaiqi frowned slightly, "How do you know her?"

"We met at the horse farm that day. Later, she asked me out for dinner. When she found out that I was saving money for college tuition, she wanted to help me."

"Do you think I will believe it?" Sheng Kaiqi knew very well what kind of personality Xixi had. She would never help someone she had only met once for no reason.

"She said that I looked a lot like your ex-girlfriend, so she arranged for me to be with you, hoping that I would replace her and help you get over the loss of love."

Sheng Kaiqi didn't expect Lin Manyi to be so frank. This was indeed something Xixi would do, but her straightforwardness made Sheng Kaiqi feel helpless.

"So what do you think?" Sheng Kaiqi asked.

"I didn't think about anything. I either agreed to the second young lady or was sold to a bar by my father to be a hostess. In short, neither option was what I wanted. I could only choose the lesser of two evils."

"You know how to weigh the pros and cons." Sheng Kaiqi was not angry, but still had a stern face, "Since it's my sister's good intentions, then you can stay."

Lin Manyi was a little surprised. She was also betting just now, betting on Huo Xixi. She was betting on what Huo Xixi said. She said that Sheng Kaiqi would not refuse a woman who looked like Yao Moran.

It seems she made the right bet.

When Lin Manyi came out of Sheng Kaiqi's office, Helen was still standing at the door, listening to the noise inside.

She was a little surprised to see Lin Manyi come out unscathed, "What did President Sheng say?"

Lin Manyi smiled slightly, "You want to ask me if I was scolded? I'm sorry, I disappoint you."

Helen's face turned pale. "What do you mean by that?"

"You know." Although Lin Manyi is young, the environment she grew up in has allowed her to see human nature very clearly, so she will not curry favor with someone who sets a trap for her, because they have different positions and are destined to be irreconcilable. Only strength can speak, not humble flattery.

At this time, Sheng Kaiqi came out wearing a suit and saw the two people at loggerheads. "What are you two talking about?"

"Helen said that a new Chinese restaurant opened nearby and the food there is delicious." Lin Manyi knew that Sheng Kaiqi loved Chinese cuisine, so she specifically inquired about nearby restaurants.

"Okay then, we'll go eat later." Sheng Kaiqi followed Lin Manyi's words.

Helen's face turned pale. She had been waiting for so long, mainly because she wanted to wait for Sheng Kaiqi to get off work and tell him about a new Chinese restaurant opening nearby. She had been waiting for this opportunity to have dinner with Sheng Kaiqi for a long time, but she didn't expect that Lin Manyi got there first.

"I'm sorry, I have an appointment with the landlord to look at the house tonight. You can go with Helen to eat. I saw that she had already booked a seat there for the evening at noon. Maybe she wanted to treat Mr. Sheng to dinner."

Helen was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground. She knew that Sheng Kaiqi hated people's active flattery the most, so she wanted to pretend to mention the Chinese restaurant by accident, and then naturally suggest going out for dinner together. However, all this was ruined by Lin Manyi.

Hearing this, Sheng Kaiqi's face instantly turned cold. He hated scheming subordinates the most, and he also hated being tricked by others the most. So he said, "The sales department is currently in need of an assistant manager. I think you are a good fit. You can report to the sales department tomorrow."

Sheng Kaiqi added, "I heard that Manager Wang from the sales department also likes Chinese food very much. You can invite him to eat with you."

Manager Wang from the sales department was a middle-aged man in his fifties. Whenever Helen saw him, she would walk around him for fear of being suffocated by the smell of cigarettes on him.

Seeing this, Lin Manyi curled the corners of her lips slightly and left quietly.

At the company gate, Helen caught up with Lin Manyi and asked, "We have no grudges against each other, why did you want to hurt me?"

"I just told the truth, how could it be harmful to you?"

"You did it on purpose. Let me tell you, I've been with Mr. Sheng for three years. I know his temper best. He is a very nostalgic person. When he remembers my kindness, he will call me back. Just wait and see."

"Then I wish you get what you want." Lin Manyi smiled faintly and turned around, her slender figure disappearing into the night.

Lin Manyi looked at two single apartments that night, both of which were recommended by Huo Xixi, and she used her connections to get a 50% discount on the rent.

She chose one because it was close to her company, only a dozen minutes' walk away, so she signed a six-month contract and moved in that night.

In the morning, she came to the company and saw a bouquet of red roses on her desk.

Because there was no message, Lin Manyi didn't know who sent it, but her colleagues started talking about it.

It is said that she squeezed out the chief assistant Helen as soon as she arrived. Not only does she have a strong background, but she also has first-class means.

And everyone is wondering who sent her these flowers?
