Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 101: What Has Been Understood Is Merely Superficial
Chapter 101: Chapter 101: What Has Been Understood Is Merely Superficial
Because, in Ji Rui’s eyes, Le Tong had always been someone content with her role, never doing anything out of line at work, nor showing any ambition. Because of this, Le Tong was once equated in Ji Rui’s mind with an obedient and well-behaved little rabbit.
"Of course not! Who would want to be a little secretary all their life?"
Yang Sheng gave Ji Rui a look, seeing that Ji Rui remained silent, and said again, "If Tongtong was the type who didn’t strive for progress, would she need to work so hard for you? She’s been with the Ji Family for half a year and has lost at least ten pounds."
Yang Sheng remembered getting a good scolding from his mentor on his mentor’s wife’s birthday, all because Le Tong hadn’t looked well after losing so much weight over the past six months.
Ji Rui thought about it but couldn’t quite recall what Le Tong used to look like. It seemed that in his memory, Le Tong was always this slender and towering figure?
Perhaps, before that drunken night, he had never really looked at what Le Tong looked like. Over that half year, Le Tong was merely a secretary to him; it didn’t matter if she was male or female, tall or short, fat or thin.
It was only from that night that he realized his little secretary was actually quite a beauty!
Since then, this beautiful secretary started to take on more dimension in his eyes, both in appearance and personality.
After Yang Sheng said this, seeing that Ji Rui had signed all the documents he had brought over earlier, he gathered the documents into his arms and got up to leave.
Thanks to Yang Sheng’s remarks, Ji Rui finally realized why he always felt Le Tong was different from his previous secretaries. Before, he could never pinpoint what was different. Now, he finally understood.
So, from the beginning, had she joined the Ji Family intending to use him as a stepping stone, learning enough from him and preparing to jump to a higher, better company?
Ji Rui’s heart started to feel uncomfortable again, as if a thorn had lodged itself there at some unknown point in time.
Yang Sheng’s words had left Ji Rui a bit lost in thought for a few minutes. When he came back to his senses, he realized he had overwatered his cactus, causing the little dish under the pot to overflow and spill onto a corner of the table.
"Come in!"
Instead of cleaning up the water on the desk himself, Ji Rui pressed the intercom.
Soon, the little secretary who had been clamoring to resign recently stood in front of his desk. "President, what can I do for you?"
"Wipe it clean!" Ji Rui indicated the puddle on the desk with his chin.
Le Tong glanced down, then incredulously at Ji Rui.
Could Ji the Bastard be any more shameless? He had already thrown a pile of work on her, and now he was creating more tasks, just to mess with her.
Was he trying to show her who’s boss, to let her know that if he wanted, he could easily create endless tasks to torment her?
Even if these were trivial matters!
"Ji Rui, did you do this on purpose?"
Still angry, Le Tong wasn’t afraid to confront Ji Rui, thinking irritably that it would be best if Ji the Bastard fired her for her outspokenness. Then she could finally escape his clutches.
To be honest, in all the years Ji Rui had grown up, besides his teachers calling him by his full name, almost no one addressed him so directly.
As a child, even much older uncles and aunts would call him "Young Master Ji" or "Young Master." As he grew older, it became "Mr. Ji" or "Brother Rui."
The closest, perhaps, was Yang Sheng, who called him Rui.
Besides Zhuo Jiarui, probably only Le Tong called him Ji Rui.
Le Tong was his subordinate; if other employees called him like that, he’d certainly scowl. But when Le Tong called him that, he didn’t find it inappropriate.
At least, he didn’t feel any discomfort or resentment.
"On purpose for what?"
Ji Rui stared at Le Tong’s face while asking this, his mind pondering, did she really lose ten pounds? She looked quite nice now, with her oval face, thin eyebrows, big eyes, a pretty nose, and lips of a pinkish hue that were rather enticing...
Many people say that those with big eyes often look spiritless, but her eyes were very bright and clear!
The kind of purity without any impurities in her gaze, he had only seen in one person. That person was his precious son, Ji Baby.
However, Baby was only a five-year-old child. She should be in her twenties, yet she still possessed such pure and clean eyes. Likely, Yang Sheng was deceived by those eyes of hers!
"Intentionally made this puddle of water!" Though annoyed, Le Tong accepted her fate and grabbed a cloth to wipe the table clean.
"How old are you?"
Only just now did Ji Rui realize he didn’t even know her age.
Le Tong was momentarily thrown off. They were just talking about the water, and suddenly he asked her age?
"Not telling you!"
Still upset, Le Tong had no desire to chat with Ji Rui, much less about such personal matters.
Ji Rui didn’t press further. Instead, he directly opened the personnel section on the company’s webpage.
Le Tong, female, born in XX, graduated from R University.
Le Tong’s information was straightforward. freewebnøvel_com
So, she wasn’t even twenty-four yet.
Just like Yang Sheng said, in her five years at R University, Le Tong produced an extremely impressive record, from academics to social experience, clearly showing she was someone committed to continually improving herself. Such a person would not content themselves with being a mere secretary.
As he read her resume, Le Tong had already wiped the water off the table. "Anything else?"
This time, she didn’t even bother with formalities and spoke rather impatiently.
"Brew me a pot of coffee!" Ji Rui said blandly, his eyes still fixed on the screen.
Le Tong hadn’t made him coffee for almost a month. Ever since she stated it wasn’t part of her duties, he hadn’t insisted.
Le Tong thought, was this man calling her in to embarrass her or give her a hard time? Wasn’t he giving her enough work already?
"I don’t know how!"
Le Tong curtly threw down her words and turned to leave.
She expected the man behind her to throw a fit, but surprisingly, Ji Rui remained unfazed, continuing to carefully read her much longer resume than those of new employees.
If he remembered correctly, Yang Sheng also seemed to have a resume quite similar to Le Tong’s.
No wonder those two were so close; were they the same kind of people?
Ji Rui indulgently spent nearly ten minutes reading through his little secretary’s resume, thinking he had gained a new level of understanding of Le Tong.
Unaware that what he learned about Le Tong from her resume was merely a superficial understanding.
