Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 91 - 89: Serving Coffee for the Boss

"President."

Everyone fell silent and stood up in unison.

Jiayi, holding her laptop, stepped aside first.

The man’s complexion was cool, his features exquisitely carved like fine jade, his demeanor proud and aloof. His narrow, profound eyes swept around the conference room, and he asked in a light tone, "Why are you all here so early?"

People were stunned, arrived early?

Yue Lan stood up, very nervous, "President, didn’t you say the meeting time this morning was 10:10?"

Huo Zhenyang’s brow rose sharply, quite dissatisfied, "I said it was 10:30. Can’t even get the time right?"

His voice was filled with authority.

A murmur rose among the department heads in the meeting room, all looking dissatisfiedly at Yue Lan.

So it was she who had got the President’s time wrong.

"Yue, you’ve been a secretary for so many years, how could you get wrong the time of the meeting you notified us about?"

"Yeah, it seems this junior secretary in your department is the one who’s right. It’s a shame you were just scolding her, saying she got it wrong."

...

Yue Lan’s face turned bright red. She clearly remembered the President calling her on the internal line, telling her to notify all the department heads that the meeting time was 10:30. How could he now change his statement to 10:10?

But how could Yue Lan dare to argue with the President? She could only swallow her anger and bow with Xue Xiaoying, "I’m sorry, President, sorry, everyone. It was my mistake in the notification." Then she sat down with a downcast face.

Jiayi had not expected that on her first time attending a senior management meeting upstairs, he would change the meeting time just for her, to avoid her being blamed.

"Since everyone’s here early, let’s get started." Huo Zhenyang had already walked straight to the CEO’s exclusive seat.

Jiayi also hurriedly sat down at an angle behind the President’s seat with her laptop, ready to take notes. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Today’s meeting was to discuss a real estate development investment project by the group.

It was the same report on the property project that Jiayi brought to Huo Zhenyang’s office on her first day of work.

After that day, Jiayi decided she couldn’t let him look down on her any longer and had been studying this property project.

So today during the meeting, she was very familiar with it and typed her notes quickly.

Halfway through the meeting, everyone was getting tired.

At the President’s command, the meeting was paused for a ten-minute break.

A few of the secretaries went out to the coffee room.

A few minutes later, several secretaries each returned with coffee and distributed them to the senior managers.

The coffee Yue Lan was carrying was the black coffee the President usually favored, while the one in Jiayi’s hands was extra strong.

Yue Lan glanced at Jiayi, "Mr. Cao prefers extra strong, take it to him."

As soon as she finished speaking, a light voice came from the President’s seat, "Let’s change flavors today, bring over a cup of extra strong."

Jiayi and Yue Lan both paused.

Immediately, Yue Lan could only exchange her coffee with Jiayi.

Jiayi walked over with the latte and placed it beside Huo Zhenyang, slightly bowing, "Please enjoy, President."

Huo Zhenyang’s gaze shifted.

She was dressed in a white fitted short-sleeve shirt, a black pencil skirt, and her shoulder-length hair was tied up high, highlighting an impeccable and delicate small face, lightly made up, accentuating her beautiful and delicate features. Her movements were more skilled and at ease than when she had first entered the headquarters.

In such a short time, the young woman had managed to exude an aura of competence.

His long fingers lightly touched the coffee cup, and his distinguished brows gave a slight twitch.

"President, is there something wrong?" Jiayi grew nervous, this man loved to find faults.

"It’s a bit hot."

She reached out her hand, "Then I’ll go to the coffee room and cool it down with some ice."

As soon as Jiayi’s hand touched the cup’s ear-shaped handle, Huo Zhenyang shook his head, "No need." His hand also reached out, swept up the cup, and took it away.

Their hands touched just then!

Jiayi shuddered, her grip reflexively loosened, and the coffee brushed against something, splattering on the conference table and a few drops on his cuff. She quickly grabbed a tissue and began wiping it off for him.

Such a klutz, Yue Lan frowned, "President, perhaps I should help you..."

Huo Zhenyang pulled out two tissues and wiped the stains from his fingers methodically. Hearing Yue Lan’s offer, his eyes, cold and stern, shot her a glance that was very displeased with her interruption.

Yue Lan’s voice died down.

With a heave-ho, at last, the wiping was done and Jiayi was sweaty with the effort.

"Isn’t there any sugar?" Huo Zhenyang’s lips slightly lifted, his gaze fixed on the little creature frantically wiping away the coffee stains.

Sugar? This damn man, always with his schemes, how much longer would he toy with her?!

Jiayi bit her lip and said nothing.

Finally, Yue Lan couldn’t hold back, "President, Jiayi is not familiar with your preferences. Shall I make you a new cup?"

The Boss’s coffee was always prepared by her, the Chief Secretary.

Huo Zhenyang’s eyes, sharp as swords, once again quelled Yue Lan’s next move with a glance.

Lattes are already sweet, he thought, and still he wanted sugar. Wasn’t he afraid of diabetes?

Jiayi mentally complained but still said, "Alright, President, I’ll get the sugar."

Back in the coffee room, she took a small box of coffee sugar, returned to the conference room, scooped up half a spoonful of sugar into the cup, bent down, stirred it, and then stood up straight, "Please enjoy, President."

Huo Zhenyang leisurely picked up the cup, took a sip, and the rich fragrance of the coffee beans spread between his lips and teeth, "The coffee you prepare isn’t bad, the sweetness is just to my taste. From now on, you’ll be responsible for bringing me coffee every day."

Jiayi was stunned, realizing this was the man’s goal all along, to have her conveniently enter his office every day through twists and turns!

The others in the room also murmured in surprise.

After all, personally making and delivering coffee for the big Boss each day was definitely not an ordinary honor.

Even Yue Lan had to work for years as a secretary, enduring who knows how long, before she got the chance for this close contact with the President every day.

Could the coffee made by this new junior secretary really taste that good?

To everyone else, this was an immense "honor," but Jiayi was indifferent, curling her lip, was delivering coffee now some high and mighty task?

At the end of the day, it’s just being a maid.

Was he afraid she’d have nothing to do all day at the company? Truly a capitalist, a vampire.

But all she could do was bow slightly, "Yes, President."

————

On the day of the company anniversary, the sun was shining, and it was a gentle and beautiful day.

Dummy’s alarm clock went off downstairs, and Jiayi climbed out of bed.

This morning at nine, she needed to be at the dock on time to meet with colleagues, and then take the ferry with her co-workers to Chongren Island; she couldn’t be late.

Someone knocked on the bedroom door, and Auntie Li entered beaming, carrying a large handbag, "Miss Jiayi is awake."

"Auntie Li, what are you carrying?" Jiayi asked while slipping into her coat.

"It’s clothes the young master has prepared for you to wear to the anniversary celebration on Chongren Island," Auntie Li said, placing the handbag on the glass coffee table.

Jiayi had already guessed that man would have prepared something, cleverly not bothering to go buy anything herself, and sweetly responded, "Okay, Auntie Li."
