What are you doing, Mr. President? I'm just an extra!
Chapter 20 The Birth of the Second In-Command
Time is a very strange thing.
When it's happy, it runs faster than Ye Fan can escape for his life.
When in pain, it becomes longer than a foot binding cloth.
For Lu Li right now, those half hours felt like an eternity.
The clock on the wall ticked.
Every second felt like dancing on his nerves.
Lu Li looked down at his left hand.
That hand was still being held tightly by Su Feiyan.
Their palms pressed tightly together, the temperature rising steadily.
"Hey sis, isn't that enough?"
If you keep holding it, your hands will feel like they're being marinated.
Are you like super glue?
Lu Li mentally ranted and tried to pull his hand back.
Not moving.
Su Feiyan's grip was ridiculously strong, completely unlike the strength one would expect from a delicate female CEO.
Just then.
Knock knock knock.
There was another knock on the office door.
The rhythmic tapping sound conveyed a sense of caution and tentativeness.
"Enter."
Su Feiyan didn't even look up, uttering a single word indifferently.
The door was pushed open a crack.
The first person to peek in was Vice President Zhang, whose face was full of wrinkles.
He first quickly scanned the office, his gaze lingering for a second on the two figures standing close together behind the desk.
Then, like a thief, he squeezed his whole body in.
Following behind was Old Li, who was equally timid and hesitant.
The two were still holding that thick stack of documents in their hands.
"Mr. Su, this is the budget sheet for Phase II of the West City project, and also the one from the marketing department..."
As he spoke, he handed over the folder he was holding.
As is customary, these documents must first be handled by the special assistant.
Old Zhang subconsciously handed the document to Lu Li.
Lu Li looked at the documents handed to him, then at his left hand that was being held captive.
This is very embarrassing.
He is left-handed.
Although the right hand can also be used, the dexterity is obviously not on the same level.
How am I supposed to respond to this?
[Do you use your mouth to carry it?]
In Lu Li's mind, a thousand alpacas galloped by.
But he could only awkwardly reach out his right hand to take the folder.
Because it's operated with one hand, and the folder is too thick.
As soon as I started using it, several reports slid out and fell to the floor with a clatter.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Old Zhang's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, unsure whether to retract it or release it.
He glanced at Lu Li, then at Su Feiyan, and cold sweat was about to pour down his forehead.
What is this?
Is this a show of force?
Could it be that the assistant is deliberately embarrassing me because I just stumbled upon the president's good deed?
Old Zhang was inwardly groaning.
Lu Li also looked utterly hopeless.
He was about to bend down to pick it up when he was pulled back by the pull of his left hand.
Su Feiyan remained seated calmly in the boss's chair, acting as if nothing had happened.
They even changed to a more comfortable position.
"You won't need to do this kind of physical labor anymore."
Su Feiyan glanced at Lu Li, her voice so calm it was frightening.
Then she turned her head and looked at Old Zhang.
"Pick it up."
Old Zhang felt like he had been granted a pardon and quickly squatted down to pick up the reports and organize them.
It was placed back on the table with utmost respect.
"President Su, please take a look."
Su Feiyan didn't move.
She gestured with her chin towards the documents and said to Lu Li:
Read it to me.
Lu Li: "..."
You have hands and feet, why do I have to read it?
[Besides, my current posture makes it difficult to operate!]
Although Lu Li complained inwardly, his body betrayed him.
Who told you to be the one paying the wages?
He could only awkwardly open the document with his right hand and begin reading the data on it.
"The total budget for Phase II of the West City Project is 350 million yuan..."
"Building materials account for 40% of this..."
As Lu Li read, he had to use his elbow to press down the corner of the document to prevent it from closing on its own.
The movements were so comical, it looked like a circus act.
And what about Su Feiyan?
She rested her chin on one hand, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she were listening attentively to a report.
Actually.
The hand that was holding Lu Li was having a great time playing with it.
Her thumb gently rubbed against Lu Li's web of fingers.
He pinched one of Lu Li's fingers between his index and middle fingers and turned it around like a walnut.
Every now and then, he would pinch his knuckles to test the hardness of his finger bones.
Lu Li felt like a gigolo being kept by a rich woman.
Not only do they have to sell their labor, but they also have to sell their bodies.
Even their bodies are treated as toys.
Old Zhang and Old Li, standing opposite each other, didn't know where to look.
They are all seasoned veterans who have been navigating the business world for decades.
What kind of scene haven't I seen?
But I've never seen anything like this before.
The usually ruthless and decisive CEO Su, known as the "female devil of the business world".
Now, during a meeting, in front of his subordinates, he openly played with his male assistant's hand?
This is even more shocking than Mars colliding with Earth.
Old Zhang secretly glanced at Lu Li.
This young man is no ordinary person.
She's only been with the company for two days, yet she managed to win over a high-status woman like President Su.
This ability to live off a woman is truly exemplary.
From now on, in the company, I'd rather offend General Manager Su than offend this guy.
Offending President Su will at most result in a scolding.
Offending this man could mean being whispered in his ear until you die.
Old Zhang and Old Li exchanged a glance.
They both saw the same awareness in each other's eyes.
We must cling tightly to Assistant Lu's coattails!
Lu Li read until his mouth was dry.
I finally finished reading one page and was about to turn the page.
Su Feiyan suddenly interrupted him.
"Alright, you don't need to read the data anymore."
"I have faith in Assistant Lu's professional abilities."
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief and was about to close the file.
Su Feiyan added slowly:
"Old Zhang, from now on, you can report these reports directly to Lu Li."
"If he nods, it's the same as me nodding."
"I'm too lazy to look at those densely packed numbers; it's bad for my eyes."
Upon hearing this, Lao Zhang and Lao Li were completely dumbfounded.
Although there had been speculation beforehand, hearing President Su relinquish power in person was still a completely different experience.
What kind of special assistant is this?
This is clearly the second-in-command of the Su Group!
You could even say he's the future male head of the household!
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Old Zhang reacted the fastest, immediately turning to face Lu Li and bowing slightly.
"Assistant Lu, I hope you'll take good care of me in the future!"
"Please feel free to criticize and correct me if I do anything wrong!"
Not to be outdone, Old Li quickly expressed his opinion:
"Assistant Lu is young and promising, with keen insight. We will definitely cooperate fully!"
Looking at the two vice presidents who were bowing and scraping to him, Lu Li felt a chill run down his spine.
【No way?】
[So that's how he got to the top?]
I didn't actually do anything!
"I just gave a massage, how did I become the second-in-command?"
This promotion speed is incredible! Even a rocket couldn't deliver it this fast!
Lu Li felt that this world was a bit magical.
He just wanted to survive and earn some humiliation money along the way.
How did he suddenly become a powerful figure?
If that Dragon King Ye Fan found out, wouldn't he be so angry that he'd vomit blood?
Su Feiyan listened to Lu Li's inner complaints and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
This is exactly the effect she wanted.
This completely binds Lu Li and the Su Group together.
He won't be able to escape even if he wants to.
Give him power, give him money, give him status.
Use the most mundane yet effective chain in the world to keep him firmly by your side.
As for Ye Fan?
Let him go play with the rats in the sewers.
"Is there anything else?"
Su Feiyan looked at the two vice presidents who were still pledging their loyalty and asked somewhat impatiently.
"No...that's all!"
Old Zhang has a good eye.
"Then we won't disturb President Su and Assistant Lu any longer... while they discuss work."
He emphasized the words "talk about work" very much.
His eyes were full of "I understand".
After saying that, he pulled Old Li and started to walk out.
Just then.
Lu Li suddenly felt a dampness in his palm.
After all, I had been held tightly for more than half an hour in this tense atmosphere.
It would be strange if you didn't sweat.
The sticky feeling was unbearable for him.
He muttered something to himself.
My hands are so sweaty, it hurts.
How could this woman tolerate this?
I can't hold it in any longer, can I go wash my hands?
Su Feiyan paused for a moment.
She heard it.
Normally, if someone dared to touch her with their sweaty hands, she would have chopped their hand off long ago.
But now, she doesn't feel disgusted at all.
On the contrary, I find this warmth of mutual interaction somewhat alluring.
However, since he said he wasn't feeling well...
Let's deal with it then.
"etc."
Su Feiyan called out to the two vice presidents who were about to leave.
Old Zhang and Old Li stopped and turned around cautiously.
"Is there anything else you need, Mr. Su?"
Su Feiyan didn't speak.
She released the hand that had been gripping her for half an hour.
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled his left hand back, intending to wipe it on his pants.
But Su Feiyan was faster than him.
She opened the drawer of her desk.
I took out a pack of wet wipes.
I pulled out a wet wipe with a faint lemon scent.
then.
Under the shocked gaze of the three men.
She grasped Lu Li's left hand again.
It wasn't the kind of forceful hold.
Instead, it is gently held in the palm of your hand.
With her other hand holding a wet wipe, she began to wipe Lu Li's hands.
The movements were so delicate it was almost unbelievable.
From the palm to between the fingers, and then to each finger joint.
She wiped very slowly and carefully.
Those lowered eyebrows and focused expression.
Where is there even a trace of the female demon?
She's practically the epitome of a gentle and considerate wife.
Old Zhang and Old Li were completely petrified.
Their values shattered into dust at that moment.
If holding hands just now was only shocking...
What we're seeing now is practically a nuclear explosion.
The president of the prestigious Su Group, a female billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of billions.
He's actually wiping a junior assistant's hands?
And he wiped it one finger at a time?
If this gets out, the entire business community of Jiangcheng will be shaken!
This is hardly a case of someone taking advantage of a woman's kindness.
This is clearly turning a gigolo's life into a grand feast!
Lu Li was stunned.
As he watched Su Feiyan carefully wiping her hands, feeling the cool touch on her fingertips, his heart began to pound uncontrollably.
This is...this is way too unfair!
[Su Feiyan, do you know what you're doing?]
【You've completely ruined your public image!】
[You're a villainous female supporting character! You should be vicious, aloof, and throw money at my face!]
You're so gentle, how can I resist?
Lu Li felt her cheeks burning.
This feeling of being pampered in every way made him a little dizzy.
Could it be... that he's really taken a liking to me?
Lu Li dared not think about it.
Su Feiyan finished wiping the last finger.
Throw the wet wipes into the trash can.
She looked up at Lu Li's flushed face and felt great.
"Craftsmen must keep their hands clean."
She said.
Then he turned to look at the two vice presidents who were still standing there in a daze at the door.
"Have you seen enough?"
The sound dropped to freezing point.
Old Zhang and Old Li came to their senses.
"Enough! Enough!"
"No! I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything!"
The two of them were incoherent and scrambled out of the room.
They even forgot to close the door.
Only after running out of the CEO's office area did the two lean against the wall, panting heavily.
Old Zhang wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said with lingering fear:
"Old Li, you'll be working at this company from now on."
"You don't have to listen to what President Su says."
"But you have to listen to Assistant Lu!"
Old Li nodded vigorously, deeply agreeing.
