Chapter 473 Secretary Zhou!
Half an hour later, several refreshing home-style dishes were served: stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised tofu with minced meat, and a seaweed and egg drop soup.
It has a bright color and a fragrant aroma.
Ling'er, the little girl who had been lying on the table waiting for dinner, couldn't resist stretching out her little finger, quickly pinching a piece of egg and putting it in her mouth. Her big eyes immediately narrowed into two slits with happiness.
"elder sister!"
She tilted her head back, her voice sweet and clear, filled with undisguised praise.
"Your cooking is so delicious, even better than my mom's!"
Zhong Yuemin raised his hand and ruffled his daughter's fluffy little head, laughing in exasperation.
"You little traitor, you sold your mother out with just one bite of food?"
Seeing Gao Yue still standing straight to the side, Zhong Yuemin called out, "Xiao Gao, you probably haven't had lunch yet, right? Why don't you grab something to eat with us?"
"No, no, you guys eat." Gao Yue quickly waved her hand.
"Don't be shy, we can't eat that much either. Go, get another set of chopsticks and a bowl, hurry up."
Zhong Yuemin spoke casually.
Gao Yue had no choice but to go to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, and sit down at the table. The three of them ate around the small square table, and the atmosphere really resembled that of an ordinary family of three.
Husband, wife, daughter!
"President Zhong..."
"Don't keep calling me 'General Manager Zhong,' it sounds too formal. Just order whatever you like, and call me by my name." Zhong Yuemin picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks.
"That won't do,"
Gao Yue was very persistent.
"I am now your secretary, so I must have a sense of hierarchy."
Zhong Yuemin smiled and didn't press the matter further.
While eating her meal in small bites, Gao Yue couldn't help but ask,
"Mr. Zhong, what specific tasks should I undertake next?"
"Not urgent,"
Zhong Yuemin added some vegetables to his daughter's bowl.
"Let's eat first, and not discuss business at the table."
After finishing her meal, Gao Yue naturally cleared away the dishes and washed them. After washing the dishes, noticing some dust on the floor, she picked up a broom and swept the floor and wiped the table.
Seeing a small basin of her child's clothes piled up in the bathroom, she casually washed and hung them up to dry.
Little Ling'er was all sweaty and sticky from playing in the afternoon, so Gao Yue boiled some water and carefully gave the little girl a bath, then changed her into clean clothes.
After all that busy work, half a day had passed before I knew it.
"Xiao Gao, you've worked hard today. Let's call it a day." Zhong Yuemin glanced at the sky.
Come back tomorrow.
Gao Yue felt a little helpless. Why did it feel like she was here to be a nanny or maid?
It wasn't that she disliked it; with such a high monthly salary, doing some housework was nothing. It was just that the job content was completely different from what she had imagined a "secretary" to be.
"Mr. Zhong,"
She couldn't help but confirm.
"Will you still come over tomorrow to cook and clean?"
Zhong Yuemin detected a subtle hint of helplessness in her words, and a smile curved his lips.
"What, you're not happy?"
"Uh...no."
Gao Yue quickly denied it.
"If I have to do this kind of work again, I'll have to change my clothes tomorrow."
She pointed to her formal business suit, which was clearly unsuitable for work.
"No need," Zhong Yuemin waved his hand.
"I have other plans for tomorrow."
"Oh, okay." Gao Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the evening, Zhou Xiaobai came home from get off work and personally cooked dinner. As soon as the food was on the table, the little girl Ling'er couldn't wait to report and expose him.
"Mom, the food you cooked isn't as good as the food that older sister cooked during the day!"
"Sister?" Zhou Xiaobai looked at her daughter. "Which sister?"
“She’s Daddy’s older sister!” Ling’er blinked her big eyes and said it very seriously.
"When did you suddenly have a sister?" Zhou Xiaobai asked her husband in confusion.
"What sister?"
Zhong Yuemin chuckled and briefly explained how Gao Yue had started working.
"He's my new assistant. He came over today to discuss work, and I just lent him a hand."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai feigned discouragement and gently tapped her daughter's smooth forehead with her index finger.
"You little ungrateful brat, I've spoiled you for nothing. If you think your sister's cooking is better, then Mommy won't cook for you anymore, and your sister will cook for you instead, okay?"
Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately "betrayed" her mother, scrambling onto the stool, wrapping her arms around her mother's neck, rubbing her face against her mother's, and saying sweetly,
"Mom's cooking is delicious too! Ling'er loves Mom's cooking the most. Mom is going to cook for Ling'er!"
This strong will to survive amused both adults.
Nighttime, bedroom.
The couple leaned against the headboard, and Zhou Xiaobai said thoughtfully,
"Yuemin, have you noticed? Our daughter is looking more and more like you. Sigh..." He sighed heavily.
"Ok?"
Zhong Yuemin didn't understand.
"...No, why are you sighing? Isn't it good that she looks like me? I'm her biological father. Who else would she look like? Someone else? Someone who had a child with another man behind my back...?"
"Screw you!"
Zhou Xiaobai punched him lightly and said irritably,
"I mean, this girl's temper and her cleverness are like a tomboy, so shrewd and cunning. Didn't you see that? It's hard to fool her now. I don't know if her personality will be good or bad in the future."
Your worries are completely unnecessary.
Zhong Yuemin disagreed.
"So you mean it's best if our daughter is silly and dull-witted? I think she's fine the way she is now. She's clever and quick-witted, so she won't be bullied when she goes out into the world."
Zhou Xiaobai snorted, ignoring the previous topic, and instead asked,
"That new assistant you hired... the one who came to my house during the day? She's a woman, a secretary, right? Isn't having Manager Liu Jing to help you manage things enough?" There was a hint of barely perceptible jealousy in her voice.
Zhong Yuemin understood and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"What are you laughing at!" Zhou Xiaobai said reproachfully.
"She's just an assistant, nothing more."
Zhong Yuemin put his arm around his wife's shoulder.
“You know how big your man’s business is outside. One Liu Jing is not enough. I wanted you to gradually take over some of the company’s affairs and learn management, but you weren’t interested. So I have to find someone else to help, right?”
Zhou Xiaobai leaned on his shoulder and mumbled softly.
"There are rumors going around that the secretary does everything when there's work to be done, and does everything else when there's nothing to do... You better behave yourself and don't do anything reckless."
"Hahaha……"
Zhong Yuemin burst into laughter at his wife's words. Seeing her coquettish and jealous pouting face, which was really tempting, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart and rolled over to gently pin her down.
"Well done, Secretary Zhou, you know quite a lot,"
He lowered his head, his breath hot against his wife's ear, his voice low and laced with a mischievous laugh.
"Then tonight... I'll give you, Secretary Zhou, a good working session first..."
With a soft "click," the bedside lamp was turned off.
"You're going to die... Waaah..."
The unspoken words were drowned out by the man's domineering demands and murmured moans.
