Chapter 472 Secretary Gao!
Gao Cheng carefully examined the contract his sister handed him. The terms, official seal, and benefits were all clearly written, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Where did you meet this friend of yours?"
He put down the contract, but couldn't help asking further questions.
"It's a Hong Kong-funded company, how come I've never heard you mention it before?"
"We met recently, at the entrance of the resettlement office."
Gao Yue told the truth,
"They were looking for work there at the time too."
"……no,"
Gao Cheng's brows furrowed even more.
"They're all big bosses now, why would they go to the resettlement office to look for a job? Xiaoyue, you're young and don't understand how complicated society is. Why would they give you a salary of over a thousand a month? There's no such thing as a free lunch. They must have something on their mind. I bet they're a scammer..."
"elder brother!"
Gao Yue interrupted him, her tone serious.
“He’s also a former military officer, a proper battalion commander. I went with him today to see the company, factory, and workshop there with my own eyes. There’s really no problem, so you don’t need to worry.”
Seeing his sister's confident expression and not being able to see any other flaws, Gao Cheng wondered to himself, "Could it be that my little sister has really had a stroke of good luck and met a benefactor?"
He waved his hand,
"Alright, just be more careful. If you feel something is wrong, leave quickly. Don't be shy."
After finishing their meal, Gao Yue sat for another half hour before getting up to leave. Gao Cheng saw her to the door, just as Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun from next door opened their door and came out.
"Teacher Gao, are you going out?" Jiang Biyun greeted him with a smile, her gaze falling on Gao Yue, who was standing next to Gao Cheng.
When Zheng Tong saw a pretty and clean-looking girl standing next to Gao Cheng, he thought to himself, "Wow, Gao Cheng is ordinary-looking, eccentric, and unconventional. How come he found such a beautiful partner?"
"Teacher Gao, is this your boyfriend?" Zheng Tong blurted out.
Jiang Biyun quickly tugged at him and whispered reproachfully.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is Teacher Gao's own sister!"
She had met Gao Yue once before; she turned to Gao Yue with a gentle smile.
"Xiaoyue, are you here to see your brother?"
"Hello, Teacher Jiang." Gao Yue nodded politely in greeting.
After the brother and sister walked away, Zheng Tong watched Gao Yue's retreating figure, clicked his tongue,
"Gao Cheng is usually unreliable and annoying, but his sister seems quite gentle and polite..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Biyun gently pinched the soft flesh around her waist.
"What are you looking at? Your eyes are about to pop out!"
Jiang Biyun rolled her eyes at him.
"How old are you? Still thinking about young girls?"
Zheng Tong hissed, rubbing his lower back, looking completely innocent.
"What did I mean by 'thinking about'? I just said it casually, what are you talking about?!"

Gao Yue went to work at the company on the second day. The first few days were mainly spent getting to know the company's overview and familiarizing herself with some basic document processes. The work wasn't too busy, and she spent most of her time in the office.
She worked for a week, but she didn't even get to see the person in question, Mr. Zhong.
As his secretary, isn't her main job to revolve around the leader and handle the tasks assigned by him?
But the leader never came, and she sat there all day, feeling somewhat lost and unsure of what to do.
In the end, it was Liu Jing who gave her an idea.
"How about... you go to Mr. Zhong's house and see if you can find him? He should be home these days." He said, giving her an address.
Gao Yue followed the address and went there. When she arrived, she was secretly surprised. This area was a well-known military compound. It seemed that Zhong Yuemin not only had a large business, but his family background was also extraordinary.
This was her first time in such a place. There were sentries at the entrance who questioned her. When they heard that she was looking for someone and was a young woman, they didn't make things difficult for her and even politely gave her directions.
They found the small, detached house with the gate open. Gao Yue didn't dare go in directly, so she stood outside and peeked in, calling out softly, "..."
"Excuse me, is there anyone?"
A little girl who was playing in the sand in the yard looked up at the sound, ran over, and with her delicate, pretty face upturned, spoke like a little adult.
"Who are you looking for?"
Seeing that the little girl's face was flushed and her forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat, Gao Yue couldn't help but soften her voice, "Excuse me, is President Zhong here?"
"Piggy?"
The little girl tilted her head, her large, dark eyes filled with confusion, and her clear, childlike voice carried a hint of bewilderment.
"Sister, we don't raise pigs at home."
Gao Yue was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but smile.
"Not Piggy... it's Mr. Zhong. Um... is your father home?"
She learned from Manager Liu that Zhong Yuemin was married and had a daughter, and the young girl in front of her must be him.
Upon hearing this, the little girl turned and ran into the house, shouting at the top of her lungs as she ran.
"Father, Father, a pretty lady is looking for you, Father, a pretty..."
The child's clear, innocent voice was incredibly penetrating; it could be heard not only in this courtyard but also in the neighboring houses.
Zhong Yuemin, wearing an apron and holding a spatula in one hand, hurried out of the kitchen, looking both amused and exasperated.
"Alright, alright, Ling'er, stop shouting."
His precious daughter inherited some of his playful and unreliable nature. At such a young age, she sometimes speaks in a tone that sounds like she's mocking her father, like a smug, gossipy bystander waiting to see what happens.
Looking up, Zhong Yuemin was somewhat surprised to see Gao Yue standing at the courtyard gate.
"Xiao Gao? How did you find your way here? Come in."
Gao Yue walked into the courtyard and stood in front of the boss, thinking to herself, "What do you mean 'Why am I here'? I'm your secretary, and I've been working here for over a week without even seeing the boss. I guess I have to come to you myself."
"Mr. Zhong, I've started working at your company. Manager Liu has assigned me to be your secretary."
She tried to make her tone sound businesslike and befit her role as a secretary.
"But I haven't been able to see you, so I couldn't get any work done. So I had no choice but to come here to find you, following the address Manager Liu gave me."
"I'm busy here, and I don't have time to go over right now," Zhong Yuemin said matter-of-factly.
"You're new to the company, take your time to get familiar with the environment, there's no rush."
He was indeed quite "busy," having to figure out how to play with the children during the day and "take care" of his wife at night.
They're truly hardworking and dutiful oxen and horses!
“I have a basic understanding of the company’s situation. I can’t just sit in the office all day and wait for such a high salary. I would feel guilty about that.”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yuemin raised an eyebrow, and without saying a word, he took off his apron and shoved the spatula he was holding into the other person's hands.
"Sure, then Secretary Gao, lend a hand and help cook a couple of dishes."
"Huh?" Gao Yue was stunned, looking down at the thing that had suddenly been shoved into her face.
"What?" Zhong Yuemin looked at her. "You can't cook?"
"No...no, yes, yes."
Gao Yue snapped out of her daze, hurriedly put on her apron, took the spatula, took a deep breath, and went into the kitchen.
