The Games of Love

Chapter 12: First Day at Work

Chapter 12: First Day at Work

Oct 21, 2024

The car had already reached the business district, and the sunlight reflected sharply between the tall buildings, shining through the windshield and causing a slight glare.

Alexander’s fingers tapped rhythmically on the steering wheel.

 

After a while, his rich voice echoed in the cabin, breaking the silence.

“That depends on whether you can be good enough.”

 

Jane suddenly laughed and, after he pressed the brake, wrapped her arms around his neck, planting a quick kiss on his cheek. “I’ll definitely be very good!”

 

This time, Alexander didn’t speak again as she released him, her face shining with an unrestrained joy, lively and bright, like a little fox that had just achieved its goal.

He cast a serious glance at her. “Get out.”

 

Jane looked at the nearby building, puzzled. “Aren’t we there yet?”

 

“I’ll have Zheng Nan arrange your work for you. Since you’re here to learn, no one can know your identity, nor can you enjoy any special treatment.”

 

“Alright!” She waved her hand nonchalantly.

 

As soon as Jane got out of the car, Alexander sped off, leaving her behind. After walking for about ten minutes, she arrived at the company’s entrance, where Zheng Nan was already waiting.

 

“Good morning, Special Assistant.”

Zheng Nan nodded and swiped the access card.

 

“I'll take you to the HR department to complete your onboarding. If you need anything, feel free to find me,” he said.

 

Jane nodded. “Okay.”  

 

Upon reaching the HR department, she met Manager Liu, who wore black-rimmed glasses. His scrutinizing gaze swept over her several times and flickered thoughtfully at Zheng Nan beside her.

“Manager Liu, I’m handing her over to you; please arrange everything,” Zheng Nan said.

 

Manager Liu nodded repeatedly, a plan forming in his mind.

Jane was assigned to the Marketing Department, where she was introduced to the director, Li Wenwen.

 

“Have you all heard? The new girl, Jane, has an ‘extraordinary’ relationship with Special Assistant Zheng... No wonder she was brought in by the director herself.”

“She’s young, and I guess it’s just her looks!”

“Ugh, these days, nothing else matters. As long as you’re young and beautiful, and can handle things in bed, that’s enough.”

“......”

 

All sorts of comments buzzed in her ears as Jane faced away from the crowd, calmly preparing a cup of coffee, her demeanor reflecting a hint of Alexander’s influence.

She set down the spoon and turned around, her expression serious.

 

“I believe your statements aren’t completely accurate.”

“What…?” The group was momentarily taken aback. They looked at the unfamiliar face in front of them, her round cheeks still slightly babyish, but her exquisite features were hard to ignore.

 

Jane seemed to ponder their previous remarks. “Tsk… Having just a pretty face isn’t enough. Being good in bed is too mundane; the most important thing is to have a brain.”

“You need to develop in all areas.”

 

With a firm nod, she concluded, “You all still have a lot of improvements to make; keep at it!”

She confidently walked out of the pantry, and after a while, she heard gasps from inside. “Who is that woman?!”

“How can she speak like that? She really has no shame...”

Just then, a timid voice said, “I think… it’s Jane.”

 

“......”

Feeling quite satisfied, Jane returned to the office and placed a coffee on the table. “Director, here’s your coffee.”

 

Li Wenwen didn’t even glance at it. Instead, she pointed at a folder on the desk. “Take that document, make two copies, and bring them to Mr. Xu for his signature before returning.”

 

Jane ran errands all day, feeling exhausted, but upon hearing she could see Alexander, her eyes instantly brightened. “Okay, Director!”

Li Wenwen heard her cheerful footsteps and let out a cold laugh. A twenty-year-old college student, so easily bought—how cheap.

 

After making the copies, Jane joyfully hopped onto the elevator, her heart racing at the thought of seeing Alexander. However, as she arrived at the CEO’s office, she heard a frosty voice from inside: “Get lost!”

 

Jane froze, wondering if the person inside had some sort of sixth sense to predict her presence.

But she quickly realized that her assumption hadn’t been unfounded.

 

The office door swung open, and a manager hurried out, face covered in dust, looking as if he had just been scolded. Behind him, Alexander’s merciless voice cut through the air, “If you can’t even handle this work, just resign and get lost!”

 

Two bystanders nearby exchanged gossip. “Isn’t this Manager Zhang’s fourth time being scolded?”

“Right? But it’s also due to him crossing Mr. Xu’s red line. Mr. Xu can’t stand nepotism or anyone trying to take shortcuts at work. He even claimed the other party was a relative right after he arrived...”

“......”  

 

With such a scene unfolding, did she really need to go inside?
