Ling Chunann naturally noticed Bai Yuanyu's actions, but since he couldn't see now, he acted as if he hadn't seen anything. However, 098 couldn't help but speak up, "Host, this person is too much. Even if you and she are nominally siblings now, you were a couple before. She knows you can't see, yet she blatantly looks at other men right in front of you!"
"Other men?" Ling Chunann repeated.
"Um," 098 was momentarily at a loss for words, then timidly replied, "Your man."
Ling Chunann didn't say anything, his expression unchanged, "Continue."
...
A few minutes later, the Lu family's head personally escorted Lu Lingfeng down from upstairs, his smile carrying a trace of hardly noticeable respect. Upon seeing Ling Chunann, he rarely offered a smile, "Xiaoyan's eyes are inconvenient, I'll send you guys back later."
"No need, I drove here," Lu Lingfeng declined.
"Alright, I'll walk you to the door then," the Lu family head said with a smile.
From the moment the two descended the stairs, Bai Yuanyu, who had eagerly stood up to greet them, was completely ignored until the three walked out of the living room, still with a stiff smile on her face, unable to utter a single word. Lu Lingfeng's attention was solely on Ling Chunann the whole time, not glancing at her even once.
098 did notice Bai Yuanyu and silently thought how awkward it was. However, she deserved no sympathy. Out of all people, she fancied her own host's man, and even after knowing he was her little uncle, her affection remained unchanged, which was utterly presumptuous.
After sending Ling Chunann and another back, Bai Yuanyu quickly adjusted her expression and hurried forward, "Dad, who was that gentleman just now?"
"Young lady, you shouldn't inquire about these things. By the way, how did your blind date go today? Why are you back so early?" the Lu family head asked.
"Mr. Lin is a very nice person," Bai Yuanyu answered, caught off guard.
The Lu family head didn't care whether her words were true or false, "As long as you get along well, I have things to do, you can make your own arrangements."
"Okay, sure," Bai Yuanyu replied, looking somewhat aggrieved.
The Lu family head then turned and walked upstairs without another glance at her.
"Baby, do you really want to work at Lu's?" Lu Lingfeng, who was driving, asked.
"Yes," Ling Chunann answered, "Is there a problem?"
"No problem, but the environment at Lu's is quite complicated, and the workforce is fragmented. If you go there, be careful," Lu Lingfeng advised.
Ling Chunann nodded, "Okay."
After a while, Lu Lingfeng, still seemingly worried, said, "Baby, if you want to work, I have a friend who is also running a company. Why not go to his company? You'll definitely learn more than at Lu's."
"No need, I'm just going to play around," Ling Chunann said.
"That's fine then," the always accommodating man replied, "If you're unhappy at Lu's, come back, and your little uncle will take care of you."
"You make my own company sound like a den of wolves," Ling Chunann tilted his head.
As the car slowed down, the man reached out to touch Ling Chunann's head, "Baby, you're still young, there are some things you don't understand yet. I'll explain them to you slowly."
Having been treated like a child in every world, Ling Chunann was already used to it and nodded without saying anything more.
A week later, Lu Lingfeng personally dropped Ling Chunann off at the company's entrance, wanting to follow him inside but was stopped by Ling Chunann, "Just come to pick me up in the afternoon."
"Okay, baby, goodbye." The man kissed Ling Chunann's forehead, "Straight ahead is the company's main entrance, be careful, there are steps."
Ling Chunann nodded and then headed towards the company's entrance. After walking about a dozen steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around to call out to the man following closely behind, "Little uncle."
The man, caught in the act, was not embarrassed and quickly walked up, smiling, "Baby, let me accompany you to the office."
Without stopping the overly concerned man again, Ling Chunann's onboarding had already been arranged by the Lu family head. Lu Lingfeng settled Ling Chunann at his desk, brewed tea for him, opened the folder, turned on the scanner-reader, and connected the headset, his movements incredibly proficient.
Seeing the man seemingly ready to stay and act as an assistant, Ling Chunann said, "Don't you have things to do
today?"
"A little later won't matter," Lu Lingfeng methodically placed everything Ling Chunann might need within easy reach, gave his instructions one by one, and then reluctantly left.
Coincidentally, Lu Lingfeng ran into Bai Yuanyu again at the company's entrance.
"Little uncle, hello," Bai Yuanyu greeted with a flushed face.
However, Lu Lingfeng walked past her as if he hadn't seen her, heading straight for the parking lot.
"Host, the adult just ran into the female protagonist at the company's entrance. The female protagonist shyly greeted him," 098 immediately reported to Ling Chunann.
"Oh," Ling Chunann sipped his tea.
"Aren't you curious about what happened between them?" 098 was somewhat unwilling to let it go.
"There are only two possibilities, either he acknowledged her or he didn't," Ling Chunann said, "I guess the latter."
098's suppressed laughter vanished instantly, "...You make it no fun."
After a while, 098 said, "Host, the female protagonist also came to work at the company. She's now in the HR department doing her onboarding procedures as the assistant to the vice president."
"If I'm not mistaken, the vice president is me," Ling Chunann tapped on the table.
"Yes, host," 098 answered. "After you left the Lu family that day, Mrs. Lu, hearing you were coming to work at Lu's, became a bit anxious. Then, after talking with the Lu family head for a few days, she arranged for her to come to the company."
"After all, one is her own flesh and blood, and the other is adopted." Ling Chunann wasn't surprised by Mrs. Lu's actions, "But placing her under me is somewhat interesting."
Whether it was the former Lu Jiayan or the current Ling Chunann, obviously, neither would treat Bai Yuanyu kindly. Mrs. Lu and the Lu family head might not know this, but Bai Yuanyu certainly did. Still, she chose to come...
"Host, be wary of those with ill intentions," 098 warned, sensing the female protagonist was no good person.
"Alright, let's read," Ling Chunann said to 098.
"...You can scan it yourself, or at least let it scan for you. Why insist on making it read? What pleasure does this bring?" 098 held back these words for a while, then naturally continued reading from the file Ling Chunann had opened.
Just as 098 finished reading a document of about a dozen pages and Ling Chunann's signature pen had yet to fall, there was a knock on the office door.
Without hurry, Ling Chunann signed his name, Lu Jiayan, at the end of the document, then said, "Come in."
"Vice President Lu," the tall secretary entered with a sweet smile, "Your assistant has arrived."
"Let her go to the adjacent assistant's office first. She can come see me in ten minutes."
"Okay," the secretary sweetly replied, then gently closed the door, her smile fading significantly as she turned around, "Assistant Bai, please follow me."
"Host, it seems that the secretary likes you quite a bit," 098 remarked as if it had discovered a new continent.
"People who like me are dime a dozen," Ling Chunann reopened a folder, "098, focus on reading."
...
Thinking Ling Chunann wouldn't be so heartless, Bai Yuanyu was promptly turned away, leaving her in a bad mood. However, she quickly realized that he didn't know the assistant was her. He had always been cold to women other than her. Now, behaving this way must mean he still harbors feelings for her.
With this thought, Bai Yuanyu's mood improved significantly, and she gratefully smiled at the secretary leading her to the office, "Thank you, Secretary Yang."
"You're welcome. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me," Secretary Yang said with a smile before she turned and left.
"This secretary seems quite nice," Bai Yuanyu thought.
Ten minutes later, there was another knock on Ling Chunann's office door.
"Come in."
After closing the door, Bai Yuanyu pursed her lips, "Ayan."
"Assistant Bai, please address me as Vice President Lu in the office," Ling Chunann put down his pen, "If you've never been an assistant before, I think you might not be up to the task."
Bai Yuanyu was taken aback by his response and was on the verge of tears before remembering that Ling Chunann couldn't see her. She held back her tears, "I will try my best to learn and won't hold you back."
"That's good. Go back and review the company's bidding documents for the past three years. We have a bidding next month, and you'll accompany me."
"Three, three years?" For such a large company, three years of documents, and only giving her one month? Bai Yuanyu genuinely felt like crying now.
"Is there a problem? If there is, you can talk to the chairman and ask him to assign you a different position," Ling Chunann said.
Bai Yuanyu was startled, "No, no problem. If there's nothing else, I'll go back now."
"Alright, call Secretary Yang in for me."
"Okay."
In no more than two minutes, Secretary Yang knocked on the door, "President Lu, you called for me?"
"Yes, print two copies of the company's bidding documents from the past three years, one for Assistant Bai and one for me."
"Yes," Secretary Yang respectfully replied, "Anything else?"
"Tell Assistant Bai that these documents are company confidential and must not be taken out of the company."
"Okay."
098: "Host, you are..."
"Can't you tell? I'm training her," Ling Chunann said, "In the original story, this female protagonist had no skills from beginning to end, only relying on men. Now that she's here with me, she definitely has to work hard. It's good for her to learn to be independent."
"I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, Host. You're truly a good person," 098 was moved.
"098, you've finally seen my true nature," Ling Chunann said, "But do you think she can keep up?"
"..." Considering the female protagonist's behavior in the original story, 098 decided to retract the statement about the host being a good person.
