Chapter 985: Dismissed from Office

"Mr. Lu, here’s the latte you like."

Lu Jihan nodded, picked up the cup of coffee, and took a small sip.

Suddenly, he frowned and said, "Secretary Chi, is there another flavor of coffee? Like matcha flavor?"

Chi Wen’s face changed.

The last time she bought matcha coffee for him, he said it tasted awful.

What’s going on now? Has he suddenly changed his taste?

While puzzled, she suddenly heard Lu Jihan say, "Forget it, it’s not the right person, any flavor will taste wrong."

He seemed to be talking to himself, then shook his head, absentmindedly picking up his phone to look at the screen, as if waiting for someone’s call.

This scene was quite glaring in Chi Wen’s eyes.

He must be thinking about Song Yinyin.

Before, she had arranged someone to follow Song Yinyin, hoping to catch her red-handed, and unexpectedly she did catch a picture of her having coffee with Yan Kejun.

She seized the opportunity to spread Song Yinyin’s scandal using those photos.

And while at it, she pinned the theft of the bid proposal on Song Yinyin, achieving multiple goals at once.

But she never imagined that Lu Jihan would still speak up for her.

Has he not seen those photos?

A surge of resentment flooded her heart, her eyes quickly filled with bloodshot veins, followed by a faint sting emerging from beneath her complexion...

Startled, she feared being discovered by Lu Jihan, turned around, and was about to leave.

Suddenly, she heard Lu Jihan say, "Wait a moment, Secretary Chi."

Chi Wen’s steps paused, she slightly turned her face, and asked, "Mr. Lu, do you have any other instructions?"

"You can leave work now. Oh right, from tomorrow on, you don’t need to report to the assistant secretary’s office, go back to your original position."

Go back to the original position?

Isn’t that a demotion?

Chi Wen’s heart skipped a beat, instantly panicked.

She had exerted all her effort to climb to this position, so close to him, yet now she has to revert to her previous state after only a few days by his side?

No way!

Chi Wen’s mind quickly clocked the reasoning, was she discovered?

Probably not.

He hadn’t asked her to resign.

What should she do now?

The CEO’s secretary office was the closest place to him, and to get into Mainland Group’s secretary office, she spent over a hundred days, almost sleeping only a few hours every day to master those secretary skills...

After a few seconds of silence, Chi Wen gathered her courage and asked, "Mr. Lu, have I done something wrong? Why would you demote me to my old position? If there’s anything I need to improve, you can just tell me, I’ll definitely change! Please, please don’t demote me, can you?"

Lu Jihan’s expression froze slightly, after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Your work is excellent, but you’re not suited to be my secretary."

"Is, is it because of the Mrs. President?"

"It has nothing to do with her."

Lu Jihan lifted his gaze, with a stern face, he said, "Secretary Chi, you should know that I don’t like my subordinates to work with me carrying feelings."

Chi Wen’s heart sank at his words.

So, he had sensed her desire for him?

"Mr. Lu, I..."

"Alright, you can leave now, I don’t need you here."

Lu Jihan waved his hand, saying in an unwelcoming manner, evidently impatient.

Chi Wen knew that saying anything more would be futile.

After exiting the CEO’s office, her body seemed to suddenly lose its balance and fall, unable to support herself.
