"But President Qi, if a newcomer like me suddenly takes such a high position in the company, it will reflect poorly on your judgment! Others might gossip about you behind your back. And I certainly can’t bear the responsibility of damaging your prestigious image as CEO!"
"So, President Qi, perhaps it’s better if I start from the bottom—this seems more reliable!" Hua Xiaomo finished speaking, a subtle hint of worry in her eyes, as if she were genuinely and wholeheartedly considering his reputation and standing.
"HEH HEH..." Qi Longbing chuckled softly. Looking at this woman, it seemed such situations were not uncommon between them.
He still remembered when they signed that contract; she had racked her brains trying to change something.
But whether anything changed or not depended entirely on his mood.
Thinking of this, an elegant smile touched Qi Longbing’s lips. "Being my secretary is a well-paid job, but... it’s not a particularly high position. So, Miss Hua, there’s no need for you to keep making excuses or being so hesitant."
Damn! Who’s being hesitant? This man’s way of talking is really... Forget it. If this approach isn’t working, it’s time to switch strategies.
"President Qi, how about this? I can take on an additional role right now: I’ll be your secretary and your fake girlfriend for one month. During this period, I’ll perform my duties wholeheartedly. After the month is over, President Qi... could you perhaps give me that... diploma?"
Hua Xiaomo proposed this tentatively, a glint of determination in her beautiful eyes. This was her bottom line.
She absolutely couldn’t let this drag on inexplicably for three months! No way!
Besides, she had already promised Brother Long that she would start working at his company, Mohai Skyride Advertising Company, in a month.
How could she go back on her word? That was so unlike the Hua Xiaomo she knew.
"One month... HEH HEH." Qi Longbing chuckled, looking at the calculating little woman before him.
Truthfully, he didn’t want to be too hard on her. However, he just couldn’t get used to the idea of her working in a place like that; it felt as if it tarnished his, Qi Longbing’s, reputation.
"As long as you work diligently at Qi Imperial Court for this month... to my satisfaction, I can approve your ’graduation’ as satisfactory and give you the diploma. Of course, as for being my girlfriend, you’ll need to listen to me even more... Understand?" Qi Longbing said with a teasing smirk.
A crafty, magnificent blue gleamed in those cunning yet incredibly beautiful eyes, radiating a stunning, pure brilliance that was both mesmerizing and captivating.
Damn it, this bastard really thinks he’s some kind of principal! He doesn’t even think before he speaks!
"About that... I will certainly be a good fake girlfriend and then get the Old Master to give up on the idea of forcing you into marriage," Hua Xiaomo said with a strained smile. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Qi Longbing’s lips curved into a smile, but he didn’t reply.
It wasn’t long before Ms. Lin returned. She brought a pair of women’s suit trousers, a cream-colored, pleated dress, and a pair of burgundy high-heeled shoes, all of which looked very high-end.
"Well done. Miss Hua will start work here tomorrow. You’ve handled this well. Take Miss Hua to change into this dress," Qi Longbing smiled.
"..." Hua Xiaomo immediately rolled her eyes. How could such a high-end, OL-style designer dress suit her?
