Chapter 11

Such gentleness, it was as if Brian never treated her badly. Wendy was taken aback, his hand was already touching the hair on her temples. "Wendy, come to a party with me this weekend. It should help if you're in a bad mood." Brian didn't return to the villa since that night. Irma said that he was on a business trip and went to the United States. He wouldn't be back until Saturday night, so she also reminded her to take care of her body. After Irma finished speaking, she pretended to drink milk. She was quietly checking Wendy's expression, and she was relieved when she saw that she was smiling a little bit. Because she was late yesterday, Wendy drove to Shengyang early in the morning. It was only eight ten when she arrived at Shengyang. While waiting for the elevator on the second basement floor, footsteps came from behind. Wendy habitually stepped aside, she stood on the left side of the elevator, and then opened the bag in her hand. While waiting for the elevator, she checked whether she had brought all the documents she needed for today. Before she finished checking, the elevator arrived. She stepped into the elevator before she had time to close her bag, but she forgot that there was another person standing next to her. When she ran into them, the contents of the bag spilled on the floor. Wendy knelt down in embarrassment and she quickly picked them up, then a pair of hand-made suede shoes passed in front of her and stepped on the elevator door to block it. Wendy was taken aback, and she quickly said thank you to the man. When she raised her head, she was stunned to see who it was. It was Tobias, the man who inspected her interview yesterday. She was squatting, he was standing, looking down at her from top to bottom. He had a slight look of alienation. The president of the Shengyang Group was blocking the elevator for her with an expensive pair of shoes. Wendy felt more embarrassed when she realized who it was. She thanked him awkwardly, and she hurriedly put her things away. She wasn't sure if it was because she was panicking or if it was just bad luck. When she got up and walked forward, her high heel suddenly broke off, and the contents of her bag fell out again. This time, no documents were spared. She sighed deeply, her face flushed a bright red because of embarrassment. Fortunately, her foot wasn't injured. She calmed down, accepted her fate, started apologizing, and started picking up her documents one by one. An ID card appeared in front of her. Wendy looked up in surprise. A slender and clean hand was holding her ID card. She heard the man mutter in a low voice, "Wendy Su." His voice was clear and indifferent, but Wendy felt that her name was pronounced with a special flavor. She blushed even more. After receiving her ID card, she didn't dare to lift her head as she thanked him. "You're welcome." The man moved his feet on the elevator and after that he said, "Which floor are you on?" "Thank you, the nineteenth floor." She still had to go to the personnel department to go through a few procedures, and she didn't know where she was working, so she went directly to the floor where she was interviewed yesterday. There was an awkward silence as they went up, but Tobias faced forward and didn't pay her any mind. When he got out of the elevator, Wendy couldn't help but glance back when she heard the sound of the elevator doors closing. The man's figure was gradually blocked by the closing elevator, and he was only faintly visible in his straight suit, which made him look more mature and stable. It didn't take long for her to breathe a sigh of relief. After waiting for almost twenty minutes in the lounge outside the personnel department, people finally came up one after another. When someone passed the lounge, Wendy heard a bit of gossip, "The president's personal elevator broke down today. I heard the security guard from the parking lot say that the president took the ordinary elevator. I knew I should have come early, I could have taken the elevator with the president." "Are you serious? Even if you do meet the president, would you dare to take an elevator with him? Haven't you heard? The secretary on the sixty-sixth floor got fired because she looked at him one too many times during a meeting." When she heard the two gossip, Wendy wondered for a few minutes. Was it because the golden elevator was broken? The enrollment procedures were completed quickly. When she walked into the finance department, all the people in the office turned to look at her with dead silence. She was a little embarrassed, and she quickly nodded at everyone. "My name is Wendy Su, I'm the new financial assistant, please teach me well." The director of the financial department was a woman in her forties. She had a stern look on her face, but she was actually quite nice to her coworkers. Wendy's adaptability was very strong. She quickly integrated into Shengyang's financial affairs. She started things methodically, carefully, and she hardly made any mistakes, which made a good impression on the director who doubted her. Her office was in a separate room, it gave her a bit of privacy. She made a call to the sixty-sixth floor, at the time she was preparing to send an important document. "I need more time on the Xicheng District project. Can I send the South Bay project later?" Director Yang was a little embarrassed to ask. She knew that the president was a workaholic who appreciated talents who completed things vigorously and perfectly, but she needed more time to finish a project, which is why she asked his assistant.
