Ye Ling packed the neatly arranged items into a cardboard box, which quickly filled up. She said, "Boss Jun's mind is hard to read, so we just follow orders."
"But are you willing to do this?" Li Lu asked in a low voice.
Ye Ling was taken aback and her smile faded. Li Lu sympathized with her, "You've been with General Sheng for three years, and I thought you two would end up together. I didn't expect him to be so heartless..."
"Be careful what you say, Aru," Ye Ling reminded her lightly. Seeing that Li Lu was still indignant, she sighed and handed her a manual, "These are some of General Sheng's habits that I usually record. You can refer to it, but don't touch his sore spots."
Li Lu took it excitedly and flipped through it, but her face fell instantly, "Oh my god, General Sheng has so many bad habits. Ling, you've had it tough these past few years."
Ye Ling patted her shoulder, picked up the cardboard box, and walked out of the secretary's office, taking the elevator to the seventeenth floor.
Although QUEEN Entertainment was an independently operated subsidiary, its office was still located in the Sheng Group building, and Sheng Junlie had specially cleared a floor for them to work in.
She went to the personnel department to report and completed a series of procedures. Xiao Xu from the personnel department took her to her office.
Compared to the secretary's office, her office was much smaller, but it had everything she needed. There was a desk, a sofa, and good lighting. It was said that the sun could shine in from morning till night.
She was very satisfied with her new office, but the only downside was that there was no rest area. She could only take a nap on the sofa during lunch break.
"Sister Ling, these files are the artists we are about to sign. You will be responsible for contacting them in the future. Take a look at the information first." Xiao Xu brought a stack of files over and placed them on Ye Ling's desk.
In addition to all the office supplies on her desk, there was also a shiny nameplate with the words "Artist Director Ye Ling" engraved on it.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work," Ye Ling nodded.
Xiao Xu felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but take another look at Ye Ling. She used to be the chief secretary of the secretary's office. Every time he saw her, she was always standing behind Sheng Junlie, her figure straight and calm, like a sharp sword unsheathed, making people unable to look directly at her.
But just now, he realized that she wasn't as cold and distant as he had imagined, and was actually quite polite to him.
Ye Ling opened the file and immediately saw a photo of Jian Yunxi. She paused for a moment, and Xiaoxu glanced at it and laughed.
"Jian Yunxi, she's the biggest name we're currently dealing with in the company. She's the one that President Sheng personally went to negotiate with. There are rumors that they used to be lovers, and that President Sheng spent a lot of money to create QUEEN Entertainment just to welcome his beloved back to the country."
Ye Ling's heart suddenly tightened. "Really?"
Xiaoxu thought she didn't know, and his eyes were full of gossip. "Lingjie, you're with President Sheng every day and you don't know? It's said that President Sheng is crazy about Jian Yunxi, and he's been waiting for her for all these years. We guess that President Sheng set up QUEEN Entertainment in the Shengshi Group building just to be closer to her, and to try to get back together with her."
Ye Ling's face turned pale. Yes, she was with Sheng Junlie every day, and these rumors naturally couldn't reach her ears.
After all, everyone thought she was Sheng Junlie's eyes and ears. Even if there were rumors, they wouldn't dare to say them in front of her, for fear of letting Sheng Junlie know.
Xiaoxu didn't notice her expression and continued, "Do you know about the Chopin International Piano Competition held last month? President Sheng personally went to Poland, and reporters caught him going to Jian Yunxi's room in the middle of the night and not coming out all night. Do you think they're like dry wood and a raging fire?"
"Xiaoxu!" Ye Ling couldn't listen anymore and suddenly interrupted him. "You go out first, I'll finish reading the file and find you later."
"Oh, okay," Xiaoxu saw her unhappy expression and regretted speaking so recklessly in front of her. Ye Ling was President Sheng's former chief secretary, and her heart naturally leaned towards her boss.
Wasn't he looking for trouble by gossiping about the boss in front of her?
"Lingjie, I was just talking nonsense, you were just listening. It's all just idle talk." Xiaoxu explained with a strong desire to survive.
"Okay." Ye Ling waved her hand, and Xiaoxu left the office nervously.
As soon as he left, Ye Ling's fake calmness shattered completely. She had no idea that the rumors about Sheng Junlie and Jian Yunxi were spreading throughout the company.
Except for her, everyone in this building probably knew.
Before, she wouldn't have cared. Her marriage to Sheng Junlie was just a marriage of convenience, and with the loss of their child, their relationship should have ended.
But ever since she saw him at the piano competition last night, his focused gaze on Jian Yunxi was like a thorn in her heart.
He had never looked at her with such deep and passionate eyes before.
There is no harm without comparison.
It turns out that besides his icy hatred towards her, he can also have such intense and passionate love for another woman.
All afternoon, Ye Ling had been looking at documents, trying to understand the artists who would soon be under her care. This was a completely unfamiliar field for her, and it gave her a headache.
Jian Yunxi was Sheng Junlie's precious treasure, and she naturally couldn't be mistreated. Even though she hadn't signed with them yet, she was already being treated like the queen of QUEEN Entertainment.
The other trainees could be sent to talent shows to gain experience and debut.
After dealing with these matters, and with the night completely enveloping the window, Ye Ling tidied up her desk and picked up her bag to leave work.
She stood in the elevator waiting for it to arrive, and with a "ding," the CEO's exclusive elevator opened. She looked up and met the gaze of the man standing inside the elevator.
The two of them silently locked eyes, and Ye Ling didn't move. The elevator door slowly closed in front of her. In an instant, the elevator door bounced open again.
Sheng Junlie's eyebrows furrowed so tightly that he could have crushed a fly. His voice was cold and heavy, "What are you doing standing there? Do I need to invite you in?"
Ye Ling was silent for a moment. Some people have such beautiful lips, but their words are so unpleasant. She walked into the elevator and instinctively stood one step behind Sheng Junlie.
Sheng Junlie turned his head, his face turning ashen as he stared at her. "What are you doing?"
"I didn't do anything," Ye Ling looked confused. "I used to stand here, what's wrong with that?"
Sheng Junlie's jaw tightened. She used to be his secretary and standing behind him was natural, but she wasn't anymore.
He pulled her over and pushed her back against the metal wall. Before she could even cry out in pain, he pressed himself against her.
"You're deliberately provoking me, aren't you?" His breath was hot with anger. "You're so unhappy about me transferring you to QUEEN Entertainment?"
