Chapter 209: Jin Meixiao has encountered trouble (Please subscribe)

~7 min read 1,346 words

Seeing that she had passed the bar exam, Xu Minying was overjoyed...

And so, to celebrate, the two of them spent an exhausting and absurd morning together.

Afterwards, he took her downstairs to eat.

As it turned out, Xu Minying's phone rang. She opened it to take a look, her small face turning slightly pale, and she said to Chen Daojun, "It's my father calling. He's definitely asking why I didn't go home last night. What should I do, Ouba!"

Hearing this, Chen Daojun said with a grin, "How about we just come clean to your father-in-law? Let's just say we're living outside."

Upon hearing this, Xu Minying felt a little worried and shy, "If my father finds out I stayed out all night with another man, he'll definitely be very angry. I've been afraid of him since I was a child..."

"Then just tell him you were with a close classmate last night."

"It seems that's the only way..."

Xu Minying answered the phone.

Sure enough, her father Xu Zaizhong's dignified voice came from the other end.

"Minying, why didn't you come home to sleep last night?"

"Appa, last night I went to a concert with a classmate. It was my idol Seo Taiji's comeback concert. It was too late afterwards, so we got a hotel nearby to sleep for the night. I'm really sorry for not reporting it to you in advance!"

"A classmate? Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Of course it's a girl. It's classmate Jiang. Do you remember her?"

"Oh, her. Alright then. By the way, did you pass the bar exam? How were your results?"

"I just received the notification this morning. I ranked first in the country for my major! I didn't lose face for you, Appa!"

"Hahaha, very good. You are indeed my daughter. So, are you coming home today? Your mother and I decided to celebrate for you."

"Okay, I'll be home right away."

"Mm."

The father and daughter ended the conversation.

Xu Minying breathed a sigh of relief and stuck her little tongue out at Chen Daojun: "Ouba, it's a good thing my father didn't get suspicious. I finally passed the test."

Chen Daojun, however, found it somewhat amusing: "Keeping it from your father forever isn't a solution. How about this: after you pass the interview, we'll come clean to your father and be together openly and honestly, or how about I go see your father directly?"

Hearing this, Xu Minying's small face showed a look of being moved: "Mm, I will definitely work hard. Ouba, in order for us to receive my father's blessing, I must pass the prosecutor exam!"

He didn't tell Xu Minying's father at this time because he was afraid he would worry that his daughter was too busy dating to neglect her studies.

After all, he was the Prosecutor General. If he found out his daughter had been snatched away by someone and hadn't even passed the prosecutor exam, he would be furious.

So, Chen Daojun and Xu Minying tidied up, and after dressing neatly, he dropped her off near her home.

"Ouba, I'm going home now! See you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow."

After Xu Minying got out of the car, she said a reluctant goodbye to Chen Daojun.

Chen Daojun watched her enter the residential complex.

Only then did he drive away slowly.

Driving with one hand, he opened his phone.

There were quite a few unread messages.

Among them was one from his capable assistant Wu Shixuan, who told Chen Daojun that he had already arrived in China and was currently staying at a hotel in Suzhou City.

And between the lines of the text message he sent, he expressed his surprise at the speed of China's development, not expecting that the scale of China's infrastructure could already rival their South Korea, and that Chinese food was indeed plentiful.

He had been conquered by many local delicacies; for him, eating was clearly more important than investing.

Chen Daojun smiled and edited a reply: "Brother Shixuan, China is vast and rich, with countless delicacies, more than the stars in the sky. But remember, you must not eat local Suzhou cuisine; try to eat local specialties from other places instead, such as Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Jiangxi cuisine. Especially, you must not eat the local West Lake vinegar fish in Suzhou City. You must remember this!"

After sending this message.

Chen Daojun looked at messages from others.

First was Cha Eun-sang, who told Chen Daojun that she was currently following a female executive from the Miracle Company's marketing department to learn how to run the market, select storefronts, and source goods. She felt she had learned a lot of new knowledge and would be able to open a store before long.

Next was Liu Ruiqiu, who wanted Chen Daojun to go to her house every day to eat with her and her mother. Of course, it was mainly for Chen Daojun to cook for them, but Chen Daojun also wanted to eat the noodles Li Xinxin made...

Unexpectedly, Jin Meixiao also sent him a message.

"Chairman Chen, I would like to apply for the position of secretary at Miracle Company. I wonder if that's possible?"

Seeing this message.

Chen Daojun was stunned.

He didn't expect this woman, Jin Meixiao, to really want to jump ship.

He remembered in the original drama.

This woman actually hadn't thought about resigning at all.

Instead, during the time she was resigning.

That narcissist and low-EQ fool Lee Young-joon had chased her back through various assists from friends.

Why had the plot changed now?

Could it be because of him?

Chen Daojun couldn't figure it out.

But since she wanted to come to his company to be a secretary, wouldn't that be equivalent to snatching her away from Lee Young-joon?

And she was also a female lead; for Chen Daojun, the more the merrier.

He was looking forward to seeing Lee Young-joon's face full of annoyance, anger, regret, and exasperation. It would definitely be very interesting.

So, Chen Daojun thought for a moment and directly called Jin Meixiao using the phone number she had used to message him.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hello, is this Chairman Chen? This is Jin Meixiao."

A crisp, pleasant, and slightly capable voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ms. Jin Meixiao, congratulations. Your application has been approved. Please come to work at Miracle Company immediately."

Chen Daojun smiled.

Hearing this, Jin Meixiao's face immediately showed surprise.

"Is it true, Chairman Chen? Don't I need an interview or a follow-up test?"

"No, I trust you. Besides, didn't Ms. Jin Meixiao say you have served as a secretary at the Unique Group for 9 years? You were able to keep that good-for-nothing Lee Young-joon in perfect order and clean. I have no reason to be worse than him."

Chen Daojun said with a smile.

Hearing this, Jin Meixiao's pretty face showed a hint of embarrassment: "Uh... haha, Vice Chairman Lee Young-joon is indeed quite narcissistic..."

"But he's actually not bad as a person, just a bit too self-centered."

"I stayed at his company for 9 years, and I'm really a bit tired of it. Plus, the work is very busy, and I don't even have any personal time, so I want to change to a new job."

"To start a new life."

"May I ask, Chairman Chen, will the work at Miracle Company be very busy?"

Hearing this, Chen Daojun smiled and said: "Not busy. Unless I have an important investment project that I need to handle personally, Secretary Jin can rest for two days every weekend, and there will be paid leave."

"Maternity leave and such don't even need to be mentioned. If Secretary Jin is pregnant now, I can give you maternity leave immediately."

Chen Daojun said with a double entendre.

Jin Meixiao seemed to understand, yet not quite.

But she soon understood what Chen Daojun meant.

This chairman, who was even more handsome than Lee Young-joon, seemed to be flirting with her...
