Chapter 491: Chapter 314: Ningning Accepts Chen Yuan’s Offer, Office Becomes a Love Nest? Jiang Yao Faints from Anger

Liu He’s cooking was good, but it was limited to just a few dishes she’d mastered. She had some talent for cooking, but not much.

That time Chen Yuan went with Jiang Zhengfeng to Kyoto, he didn’t really get the local or Western food. Even now, he still shuddered when he thought about that escargot in red wine.

But ever since Jiangg Ning came into his life, things were completely different. He stuffed himself at every single meal!

Ningning had a real gift for cooking. Some dishes, she’d learn them once, make them once, and they’d immediately turn out even more delicious than those made by famous chefs.

And now, Chen Yuan couldn’t even recall how many different dishes Ningning had made. She was always learning and trying new things.

The last time Mr. and Mrs. Chen came over for a family dinner, the couple praised the food at least ten times, saying her skills were impeccable.

Ningning was so wonderfully domestic that now, before every meal at home, Chen Yuan was like a hungry little beast waiting to be fed.

He hadn’t weighed himself recently, but he figured he must have gained several pounds. He often woke up with sore arms and legs. When he stretched, his bones would crackle, and it even felt like he was having another growth spurt.

Seeing Chen Yuan repeatedly peeking into the covered pot, Jiangg Ning gave a faint smile.

"Dinner will be ready in another ten minutes. By the way, what were you and Yaoyao talking about just now? I heard her scream," Ningning asked curiously.

"Er... that," Chen Yuan’s expression froze for a moment, his mind racing. "I was just telling her off... because she was upset with me for, uh, not telling her about what’s going on at the company. Yes, that’s it."

He nodded as if to confirm it to himself.

"Why would you tell her off for that? It’s perfectly normal for her to be mad at you."

"Sometimes I just don’t have the patience for childish girls. You know what Yaoyao’s like. I got annoyed with her nagging, she pinched me, so I pushed her away."

"You seem pretty childish yourself, Chen." Believing him, Jiangg Ning shook her head helplessly.

"Well, I’m used to your perfect personality, so of course I’d find Yaoyao a bit willful. Can’t be helped."

"Sometimes, willfulness is its own kind of cute."

"Right, whatever Ningning says is right."

Chen Yuan gave a brilliant smile, brushing the topic aside.

He was getting more and more shameless. Lies came to him so easily now; the innocent boy who used to blush when he lied was gone forever. Sure enough, his words made Jiangg Ning very happy. She stood on her tiptoes and patted Chen Yuan’s head.

"Chen, you should smile more often. You look handsome when you smile, much better than the cold look you had when I saw you at the company today."

"Really? By the way, I haven’t asked you yet. Do you want to stay at our company? When I don’t have classes, we can commute to and from work together. I could even go with you to buy groceries after work. Wouldn’t that be great?"

"Whether I stay or not depends on what the interviewer from today decides. It’s not up to me. That department head, Mr. Mo, has the final say, right?" Jiangg Ning said nonchalantly, lifting the lid to check on the soup as she turned her head.

"It’s just a matter of me saying the word," Chen Yuan immediately straightened his back, emphasizing, "As long as you want to."

"Sooo impressive, our Chen."

Jiangg Ning deliberately made an exaggerated expression, covering her mouth in mock surprise.

The sudden compliment made Chen Yuan’s cheeks flush red.

’This was the real reason he wanted to work in the first place. To let Jiangg Ning and Jiangg Yao see his determination. He wasn’t some freeloader who just lazed around waiting for death, but a real man with a sense of responsibility. In the future, he would evolve into a reliable, mature man who could support a family.’

"So, do you want the job or not?"

"Sigh, I just think office romances are weird. We’d have to worry about our colleagues finding out. And look, Chen, if people find out, there’s bound to be gossip, but pretending we don’t know each other would feel awkward. To be honest, I’m also worried I wouldn’t do well in that position. I’m not very good with things that are too data-heavy. I mentioned during the interview that I hoped to move into a management role."

She listed her concerns on her fingers, tilting her head slightly.

"That can be arranged. This is exactly what I wanted to discuss with you," Chen Yuan said, glancing back before pulling the door shut. He leaned in and whispered in Jiangg Ning’s ear, "After you left the office, the CEO of my company came to see me specifically. He said your resume is exceptional and that there’s actually another position that would suit you better."

"What position?" Ning was stunned.

"How about Secretary to the Chairman? You’d be responsible for communicating with the board of directors, liaising with lower-level management, arranging meetings, scheduling appointments, and overseeing the reporting process for more than half the company."

"Me?"

"Yes. I don’t have a secretary right now, which is a huge pain. The CEO is filling in temporarily, but he can’t really spare the time. For the past few days, he’s been complaining about the pressure and insisting we hire someone as soon as possible. But I didn’t want a woman I don’t know handling all this. And then you showed up to apply. I think it’s fate."

"Wait, let me think about it." Jiangg Ning motioned for Chen Yuan to be quiet as she furrowed her brow and began to think seriously.

Her first reaction upon hearing the request was to refuse immediately.

She had never considered being a secretary. The position was complex and had a service-oriented aspect to it. Even though she would only be serving one person in the company, the proud Jiangg Ning found this completely unacceptable.

She opened her mouth to refuse.

But then, Jiangg Ning had another thought.

’But what if the one and only person she’d be serving was Chen Yuan?’

’He was her own boyfriend. Communicating and working together would naturally be completely stress-free.’

’Besides, the secretary position was a management role. It would also give her access to all the important information and documents of the financial investment firm, which would be a huge help to her personal growth and professional experience.’
