C4 Who's Drooling?

After a somewhat awkward handover with the former assistant, who was visibly upset, Su Xiaoyu officially became part of the Shen's Group team. Even as she settled into the executive assistant's chair, she couldn't quite wrap her head around it. She had applied for the position of deputy manager, yet here she was, an executive assistant. Was Shen's Group always this unpredictable? How did they become such a powerhouse in the business world of City A? It was baffling!

"Hey, hey, wipe that drool off your face. I hired you to be an assistant, not to daydream!" Shen Juchuan remarked as he stepped out of the elevator, catching sight of Su Xiaoyu's dazed expression. She looked as clueless as a fish out of water.

Her first instinct was to grab a napkin from her desk, hoping to salvage her image. Unfortunately, no matter how much she wiped, the napkin remained dry.

"Who's drooling?" she muttered defensively, tossing the napkin into the trash can.

Juchuan turned away, unable to suppress a smile. Just as he reached his office door, he turned back and tapped on her desk. "A competent assistant would make coffee when the boss arrives."

"Oh, oh..." Su Xiaoyu nodded, still a bit stunned.

Just as Juchuan settled into his leather chair, there was a knock on the office door. "Um, do you want sugar in your coffee?"

"No," Juchuan replied without looking up.

But as soon as he opened the file on his desk, the door was knocked again. "Um, do you want milk?"

A vein throbbed on Juchuan's forehead. "Double."

"Knock, knock..." This time, the knocking came, but the person lacked the courage to open the door.

Juchuan took a deep breath. "Come in." He even wondered if he was getting himself into trouble.

Xiaoyu twisted her hands awkwardly. "Um... we're out of coffee..."

Juchuan resisted the urge to throw the documents in his hand to the floor, gritting his teeth. "Go buy some!"

Why ask if he wanted sugar or cream when there wasn't any coffee in the first place?

As the office returned to its usual quiet, Juchuan couldn't help but chuckle softly to himself. How could she be so clueless? No wonder she hadn't recognized him yet!

The phone on the assistant's desk rang three times shortly after the coffee was served.

"Hello, this is the CEO's assistant office." A sweet voice came through the receiver, and Juchuan found himself inexplicably pleased.

"There's a woman named Tong Yuv in the meeting room on the third floor. Go handle her for me." Juchuan's lips curled into a smile, though his tone remained as cold as ever.

Huh? Xiaoyu almost thought she was hearing things. Her first task as the CEO's assistant was to dismiss a woman for him? Was yesterday's interview not the bizarre test her friend Chiang Tang had described, but rather a straightforward crisis management scenario? Had she been hired because she handled it well?

As Xiaoyu hesitated over whether she could refuse the task or even the position of CEO's assistant, the call abruptly ended.

Words couldn't describe Xiaoyu's frustration. Could she have a third interview for the department's deputy manager position instead?

Resigned to her fate, Xiaoyu took the elevator to the third floor to deal with the woman for Juchuan, hoping to secure her place at Shen's Group.

Meanwhile, Tong Yuv sat in the meeting room, looking a bit tense. Rumor had it that Juchuan was always fond of beautiful women, yet despite her looks and charm, Tong Yuv's attempts to get close to him had all failed.

If she can't win over Juchuan this time, Lingchuan definitely won't let her off the hook!

Hearing footsteps outside the door, Tong Yuv quickly gathered her thoughts, put on her most perfect smile, and stood up to welcome the arrival of Shen's Group CEO, Juchuan.

Xiaoyu pushed open the door to the meeting room, pondering what excuse to use to send away the visitor, when she suddenly heard a gasp.

"Why is it you?!" Tong Yuv's meticulously made-up eyes widened, her sharp chin nearly dropping to the floor.

Hearing the voice, Xiaoyu looked up, tilting her head for a moment before recognizing the person in front of her. "Hey, it's that woman who doesn't know what's good for her and is so self-destructive!"

Tong Yuv, already feeling inexplicable anger at the sight of Xiaoyu, became even more furious at this comment.

Her thin eyebrows knitted together as she gritted her teeth and said, "What are you doing here?!"

Xiaoyu lifted her chin slightly and replied, "I just joined Shen's Group yesterday. I'm now the CEO's assistant."

"CEO's assistant?" Tong Yuv was even more shocked.

"That's right." Xiaoyu's face lit up as she continued, "You shouldn't expect to see the CEO. His schedule is packed today, and he doesn't have time for you!"
