“You can learn more from her.” Liu Li felt that it was safer to have Yin Tao by his side. After all, she was only acting on a whim. When she realized the true hardships of being an assistant, she would naturally give up.
“That’s fine. It’s not like I don’t know anything. It’s too boring to stay in the secretarial department every day.” Yin Tao looked very confident and didn’t notice the dilemma on Liu Li’s face at all.
Through her conversation with Nana today, Yin Tao roughly understood that the employees in the secretarial department had only heard and guessed about Xu Rui’s matter. Everyone still believed that the cause of Xu Rui’s death was an accident. Although there were some small details that aroused everyone’s curiosity and suspicion, no one could say for sure the reason why.
Therefore, she wouldn’t make much progress if she continued to stay in the secretarial office. Yin Tao felt that if she could interact with some other employees, she might be able to make unexpected findings.
Liu Li called Zhou Hui in and instructed her to orientate Yin Tao with the company’s environment. He also made a special point to tell Zhou Hui that Yin Tao could work side by side with her, and could consult her if she needed help.
Zhou Hui’s face darkened when she heard Liu Li’s arrangements. However, ever since she was warned by Liu Li at the clubhouse last time, Zhou Hui didn’t dare to be too obvious in her dislike for Yin Tao.
She could only follow Liu Li’s instructions and got someone to set up a workstation for her beside her office.
“According to President Liu, you can stay here in the future or go to the secretarial department.” Zhou Hui’s tone was very impatient, as if Yin Tao had caused her a lot of trouble.
“Alright, Secretary Zhou. I’ll have to trouble you in the future.” Yin Tao could see Zhou Hui’s dissatisfaction, but she didn’t mind. It was easier for someone like Zhou Hui, who wasn’t good at concealing how she really felt, to tell the truth.
“I usually have a lot of things to do, so I might not be able to take care of you.” Because of Liu Li, Zhou Hui couldn’t be bothered with Yin Tao at all. She despised women like Yin Tao who used underhand methods to achieve their goals.
“It’s fine. I’ll take care of myself. Just focus on your work. If I’m bored, I’ll walk around.” Yin Tao couldn’t wait for Zhou Hui to leave her alone. Only then would she have the chance to interact with other employees of the Wan Corporation.
Zhou Hui sighed gloomily before returning to her seat, and paid no further attention to Yin Tao.
Yin Tao wasn’t angry. Instead, she looked around curiously. Zhou Hui’s office was just outside Liu Li’s office. It was an independent space of moderate size.
One would have to walk past Zhou Hui’s seat before entering Liu Li’s office. Yin Tao’s seat was in the opposite corner of Zhou Hui’s seat. It was not conspicuous, which suited Yin Tao just fine.
Seeing that Zhou Hui was deliberately ignoring her, Yin Tao knew better than to court a rebuff. She simply walked out.
When Zhou Hui saw Yin Tao leave, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little. She hesitated as she looked at Ji Wei’s contact information on her mobile phone. In the end, she sighed and put down the phone.
“I hope President Liu can come to his senses…” Zhou Hui muttered softly.
In her opinion, Yin Tao couldn’t be compared to Ji Wei at all. Although Yin Tao was younger and could be considered pretty, Ji Wei’s family background was not something ordinary people could compare to.
Even Wan The, the boss of the Wan Corporation, was deferential to the Ji family. It was not only because the Ji family’s business was huge, but also because Ji Wei had a good brother.
Ji Wei’s brother, Ji Yan, worked in the municipal office of City A. He was a rising star in the political world. Many powerful families were eager to work with the Ji family.
If Ji Wei hadn’t taken a fancy to Liu Li, with his family background, it would have been impossible for him to be the Ji family’s son-in-law.
Zhou Hui didn’t think that her smart boss would completely give up his future just because of a sweet young thing.
Moreover, based on Zhou Hui’s understanding of Liu Li, he was not a lecherous person to begin with.
For such a long time, Liu Li’s behavior could be said to be impeccable. She didn’t understand what was going on, where did this young girl come from, she just appeared out of the blue.
Zhou Hui had a prior agreement with Ji Wei, she would tell her as soon as she spots any issues with Liu Li. However, Liu Li had always taken good care of Zhou Hui, she considered him a kind boss and really couldn’t find any fault with him. Zhou Hui was reluctant to betray him.
Therefore, she could only silently pray that Liu Li would come to his senses and keep a distance from Yin Tao..
