36: Work as a secretary for my sister

"Should I make breakfast?"

Ye Xi checked the time on her phone; it was already six or seven o'clock.

"Then I'll help you."

"Alright."

Ye Xi smiled sweetly; if it were just her, she wouldn't bother getting up to cook.

She was more than happy to have someone assist her.

The two quickly got busy in the kitchen, chatting while they cooked.

"Xiao Xi, you're looking for a job, right?"

Li Xuening glanced at Ye Xi, finding her more beautiful the more she looked.

"That's right, I'm actually worried about that."

"Sister Xuening, are you concerned about me?"

Ye Xi's eyes lit up, tears welling up from emotion.

"Just asking casually. I actually do need to hire someone, so maybe I can introduce you to a good job."

Li Xuening paused, then calmly put down the dishes and chopsticks, seeing Ye Xi's burning gaze fixed on her.

She was all too familiar with that look; other male admirers at her company had the same look!

Her heart trembled slightly; so Xiao Xi really does like her.

"Sister Xuening, but I don't have much work experience. If you introduce me to a job, can I really adapt?"

Ye Xi gently brushed a strand of hair, blown by the breeze, behind her ear with one hand, smiling shyly like spring flowers in full bloom, her clear eyes seemingly flowing with moonlight.

Her long, slender, and graceful legs unconsciously swayed, making Li Xuening's blood boil.

"You can do it. Actually, I need a secretary. If you don't mind, you can come and try."

Li Xuening lowered her head in shame after speaking.

She did have thoughts about Ye Xi; if Ye Xi could be her secretary, she would be incredibly pleased.

As the saying goes, 'when there's work, the secretary does it; when there's no work, they do...'"

Ptooey, ptooey, what am I thinking?

Li Xuening shook her head, her face flushed with embarrassment.

In her opinion, Ye Xi didn't need to know anything; she just needed to be a pretty face in the company for her.

A faint trace of worry appeared on Ye Xi's face. She naturally knew what Li Xuening was thinking, but she just didn't want to expose it.

"But, Sister Xuening, people say a secretary needs to know 'that'?"

Ye Xi turned her face away, feigning a look of shame, not daring to meet Li Xuening's eyes.

"'That'?" Li Xuening didn't react immediately.

"Just 'that'." Ye Xi's face turned red again.

After a moment of stunned, Li Xuening finally understood.

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, that's a misunderstanding! I'm a legitimate boss. If you work as my secretary, you'll definitely be a legitimate secretary."

Li Xuening's pretty face had a hint of blush, and she said this with shame, not even believing herself.

"Sister Xuening, of course, I trust your character. You would never do such a thing, right?"

Ye Xi smiled sweetly, two shallow dimples appearing at the corners of her mouth. She was quite amused to see Li Xuening's awkwardness at her conflicting words and actions.

"Yes, yes, don't worry, I definitely won't."

Li Xuening replied awkwardly; speaking against her conscience like this was too uncomfortable.

"Sister Xuening, are you serious?"

"You're really not joking with me."

Ye Xi looked at her with suspicious eyes.

"No, no."

"Our company really needs to hire people recently."

Li Xuening shook her head.

Seeing Ye Xi remain silent, Li Xuening thought she wasn't satisfied and couldn't help but speak again.

"Xiao Xi, our company is a big company. If you intern here, it will be easier to find a job in the future."

Seeing Li Xuening's plea, Ye Xi pretended to consider it carefully.

"Alright, alright, then I'll go to Sister's company."

Ye Xi secretly thought to herself, 'Such a good opportunity won't come again.'

Besides, there were many beautiful women in the company; it would be fantastic.

Seeing Ye Xi agree, the stone hanging in Li Xuening's heart finally dropped.

"By the way, Xiao Xi, what kind of benefits do you want?"

Li Xuening secretly glanced at Ye Xi.

She was afraid that if the benefits were too high, Ye Xi would think the job wasn't very legitimate, and she was also afraid that if they were too low, Ye Xi would be dissatisfied.

Ye Xi smiled at the corner of her mouth, naturally seeing her embarrassment.

"Sister Xuening, just pay me what you pay others. No need to make an exception for me."

Ye Xi said this while cooking, secretly thinking, 'Isn't this how I find a job?'

Li Xuening considered it repeatedly and decided to offer Ye Xi an above-average salary, and then find another opportunity to secretly give her a big red envelope.

Li Xuening was about to open her mouth to discuss the next steps, but she was interrupted by Ye Xi.

"Sister Xuening, breakfast is almost ready. Let's eat first."

Li Xuening also wisely kept quiet. It was indeed not appropriate to discuss this at this time in the morning.

After tidying up, the two carried breakfast to the table.

"Sister Xuening, try it and see how it is?"

Ye Xi picked up a pancake with her chopsticks and placed it on Li Xuening's plate.

Li Xuening took a bite of Ye Xi's pancake.

"It's really delicious."

"Sister Xuening, try this porridge too, how is it?"

Li Xuening took the red bean and lotus seed soup that Ye Xi handed her.

She took a small sip; the cooking time was just right, the consistency was moderate, and it was completely comparable to outside breakfast shops.

After tasting it, she secretly glanced at Ye Xi, becoming more and more satisfied with her.

Good at entertaining guests, good in the kitchen, and also good for showing off—where could she find such a good wife?

"I didn't expect you to cook so well."

Li Xuening also praised her unreservedly.

Ye Xi waved her hand shyly.

"I used to work part-time in a restaurant for a while."

The two ate and chatted, and the pleasant breakfast time quickly passed.

Just then, Li Xuening's phone suddenly rang.

"Sister Xuening, you answer the phone first, I'll wash the dishes."

Ye Xi said with a smile, then quickly took the dishes to the kitchen.

Seeing that it was her parents calling, Li Xuening went to a corner to answer the phone.

As soon as she pressed the answer button, a man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, daughter, where did you go last night? Why didn't you come home?"

Li Xuening lightly coughed: "Dad, I'm fine, you don't need to worry. I just met a friend and stayed at her place for one night."

"Friend, male or female?" The other end of the phone was very curious.

Li Xuening smiled slightly.

"Of course it's a female."

"Alas."

Hearing this, the other end of the phone was very disappointed.

"Dad, why do I feel like you're unhappy? Would you be relieved if I went home with a man to spend the night?"

"Don't overthink it. I'm just worried about your lifelong happiness. You're already so old, and you still haven't found a partner."

Li Xuening frowned slightly.

"I think this kind of thing depends on fate; it can't be rushed."

The other end of the phone said somewhat impatiently: "Let's not talk about this. Hurry back to the company; there are some things you need to handle."

When Ye Xi came out of the kitchen, Li Xuening felt a bit awkward.

This meal was made by Ye Xi, eaten by herself, and she wasn't even washing the dishes, which made her seem very...

"Xiao Xi, I have something to deal with, so I might have to leave early."

"Also, thank you for breakfast."

After saying that, Li Xuening lowered her head, her face full of shame.

Seeing her embarrassed look, Ye Xi smiled.

"Sister Xuening, it's just breakfast. You treated me to dinner last night and even helped me find a job. I owe you too much."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ye Xi saw Li Xuening off.

Watching Li Xuening's retreating figure, Ye Xi smiled at the corner of her mouth.

Everything was going according to plan; her successful life would begin soon, wouldn't it?

Ye Xi checked the time; it was already 8 AM.

She remembered that she needed to tutor two mischievous children this morning.

"It's time to get ready and go, to transform into a beautiful older sister and give the mischievous children a little mental shock."

"Little boys these days probably like both pure and alluring, right?"

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, Ye Xi meticulously dressed up, even applying a light layer of makeup.

She wore a white dress, her hair dancing lightly, her lively eyes holding stars, and her gentle smile softened time, making it impossible to look away.

Ye Xi was very satisfied with herself in the mirror; any male would be interested in her, right?

"For mischievous children, one must use both kindness and strictness. Of course, kindness is secondary, and strictness is primary."

Bang!

Ye Xi flexed her wrist, and the glass in her hand instantly shattered into pieces.
