Chapter 1665: Full-time Secretary
Zhou Andong checked the time. "I've finished saying what I needed to say. Do you have anything?"
Everything that needed to be arranged had been arranged. As for the investment in Golmud potash fertilizer, because it hadn't been finalized yet, he didn't mention it.
However, this investment was very important. If he had the time, he would personally lead this project.
"Chairman!" Wu Huilin said, "The framework for the television station has already been set up. What about the license?"
"Buy all the equipment first."
Zhou Andong had forgotten to ask when he returned this time, but since Old Man Jian had promised him, the television station license would definitely not be a problem.
"Okay!" Wu Huilin nodded. "There is also the renovation and expansion project of the Martyrs' Cemetery. It starts on April 1st, and the Municipal Committee hopes you can attend."
Zhou Andong thought for a moment. "I definitely won't be able to attend, but Chairman Jian can. I will notify her and have her come back."
"There is one more thing," Wu Huilin said. "Your full-time secretary has already been arranged. Do you want to see her now, or wait?"
Zhou Andong smiled and said, "Since it's already been arranged, let's see her."
Wu Huilin turned back and said to her own secretary, Feng Huiqi, "Go to the Board Office and call Huang Yali over."
"Okay!" Feng Huiqi left quickly.
"Huang Yali!" Zhou Andong muttered the name. "Why does it sound so familiar? It feels like I've heard this name somewhere."
Wu Huilin smiled and said, "This Huang Yali is currently dating the Chairman's driver, Wang Wentian."
Zhou Andong remembered immediately. Wang Wentian had even said he was going to visit the woman's family after the New Year.
But there were too many things going on, and Wang Wentian had never been able to get away, so the trip to his future in-laws' place had fallen through.
"Hahaha..."
Gu Bing burst into laughter and gave Wu Huilin a thumbs up. "Wife, this secretary was chosen well. Wang Wentian follows him every day, so even if he had any ideas about his secretary, he wouldn't be able to act on them."
Zhou Andong rolled his eyes at him and asked Wu Huilin, "Anything else?"
"I have nothing else here." Wu Huilin asked the others, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Everyone shook their heads. Zhou Andong leaned back, his expression very relaxed.
"Old Man, how is the research and development of the functional beverage going?"
Man Hongshan touched his bald head. "The taste is still a bit off. We are adjusting the ratio, striving to launch it together with Red Bull in May."
"It doesn't matter if it's a bit late." Zhou Andong asked, "Have you named it?"
Man Hongshan said, "Xurishi Functional Beverage."
Zhou Andong thought for a moment. "Let's call it Oriental Special Drink."
He wanted to use Dongpeng, but felt that Oriental sounded more grand.
"Oriental Special Drink!" Man Hongshan muttered. "This name is good."
At this moment, Feng Huiqi returned, followed by a girl.
She wasn't very tall, a very delicate and pretty girl.
She was Huang Yali, Wang Wentian's girlfriend, a graduate of Northeastern University.
She couldn't compare to Feng Huiqi, a top student from Peking University, but it was still a prestigious school.
Zhou Andong looked Huang Yali over. "You are Huang Yali?"
Huang Yali said gracefully, "Chairman, hello, I am Huang Yali."
Zhou Andong asked curiously, "A little girl so delicate and pretty, how did you end up dating that big fool Wang Wentian?"
Hearing this, Huang Yali immediately became nervous, not knowing how to answer.
Zhou Andong smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, Wentian told me everything. Besides, you are dating normally; the group won't interfere."
Huang Yali finally relaxed, but suddenly became a bit embarrassed, completely losing the poise and grace she had at the beginning.
"It's nothing, we just liked each other."
Zhou Andong laughed heartily. "From now on, you will officially serve as my full-time secretary."
Huang Yali was overjoyed. Serving as the Chairman's full-time secretary meant her future prospects were limitless, but what she was happy about in her heart wasn't this, but that she could be with Wang Wentian every day.
One was a bodyguard and the other was a secretary; both had to be by the Chairman's side every day, so naturally, they could be together every day too.
"Since everyone has nothing else, let's disperse." Zhou Andong stood up and walked out. "President Lu, has the renovation and expansion project fund for the Martyrs' Cemetery been transferred?"
Lu Qibin replied, "It has been transferred, otherwise the Municipal Committee wouldn't have been able to set the construction date. However, there isn't much money left in the foundation's account."
Zhou Andong sighed. "If it goes on like this, no amount of money will be enough to spend."
The others were also helpless. The Chairman was indeed capable of making money, but he was also capable of squandering it.
Everyone left the factory department. Wang Wentian was stunned to see Huang Yali following by the Chairman's side, but despite his inner confusion, he didn't ask anything.
Huang Yali entered her role very quickly. "Chairman, do you have any arrangements for the next work?"
Zhou Andong said, "Go to the Municipal Committee, I want to see Secretary Chen."
Huang Yali walked quickly to the car and opened the door for Zhou Andong.
After Zhou Andong got into the car, she went to the front, sat in the passenger seat, and said without looking aside.
"To the Municipal Committee!"
Wang Wentian was still in a daze. Hearing Huang Yali's words, he reflexively shifted gears, stepped on the gas, and turned the steering wheel, all in one go.
Zhou Andong watched from the back and couldn't help but be amused. "Wentian, tell me, what are you thinking about?"
"..."
Wang Wentian made a bitter face and stammered, "I... I'm not thinking about anything."
"Hahaha..."
Zhou Andong laughed heartily again. His mood was exceptionally good today.
Huang Yali tilted her head and glanced at Wang Wentian, then started laughing along.
"From today on, my position is the Chairman's full-time secretary."
"Ah?"
Wang Wentian let out a surprised "ah," followed immediately by joy spreading across his brows.
His thoughts at this moment were the same as Huang Yali's just now: the two of them could be together every day from now on.
Watching the two of them making eyes at each other in the front, Zhou Andong shook his head and said with great emotion.
"Youth is truly wonderful."
Wang Wentian habitually kept his mouth shut, while Huang Yali didn't know Zhou Andong well and thought to herself, the Chairman isn't very old either, why does he talk like an old man?
Zhou Andong took out a cigarette, lit it, and then opened a crack in the car window.
"I promised Wentian before the New Year that I would give him a few days off after the New Year so you two could go home and see your parents. But there were too many things going on, and I forgot while I was busy. Once the things at hand are finished, I'll give you a few extra days off. After you see your parents, go out and have some fun."
Huang Yali was overjoyed, but she said.
"No rush, it's not too late to take time off during this year's Spring Festival."
Zhou Andong asked, "Yali, how old are you this year?"
Huang Yali said, "23!"
"Wentian is a year younger than me." Zhou Andong said with a smile, "He's an old bachelor. You aren't in a rush, but he is."
Huang Yali giggled. "Anyway, I'm not in a rush. If he's anxious, then let him be anxious." ===== CHAPTER 1666 =====
