In the afternoon, HR came to transfer Su Banxia, and the person who came was Fang Shiqing. After arranging her seat, Fang Shiqing looked at her and asked, "Has President Pei contacted you?" Su Banxia’s job had always been to review Pei Shaoze’s documents and take care of his daily needs. Now that Pei Shaoze had left, she had to face a problem. What exactly was her role as the president’s secretary now? Su Banxia shook her head. "No." She didn’t even know when he had left. Fang Shiqing, as the HR manager, wasn’t sure what work to assign Su Banxia either. She looked at her and asked, "How many tasks do you have left to handle right now?" Su Banxia shrugged. "None." Everything she handled was Pei Shaoze’s daily work and schedule. "Manager Fang, if Secretary Su has nothing to do for now, I suggest she could help us out. Our risk control department has a mountain of work and not enough hands. Since Secretary Su is free lately, she might as well lend a hand. Besides, her salary is much higher than mine. It’s better for her to earn it by helping us than to sit idle on the company’s dime. That way, she can feel at ease about clocking in, don’t you think, Secretary Su?" The speaker was Teng Yuan, the manager of the risk control department. Su Banxia had dealt with her a few times before when picking up documents. This woman was alluring—curvy, long-legged, with delicate, seductive features. She was considered one of the top beauties in the company. Before Su Banxia became Pei Shaoze’s secretary, all the documents from the risk control department were usually delivered directly to the president’s office by Teng Yuan herself. But ever since Su Banxia arrived, because Pei Shaoze deliberately wanted to make things difficult for her, she had to personally go pick up documents from every department in the company. As a result, Su Banxia had unwittingly become an obstacle in the eyes of many women who wanted to see Pei Shaoze. Now that they had this opportunity, they naturally wouldn’t let Su Banxia off easy. Su Banxia understood this clearly. Fang Shiqing, focused on managing the entire HR department and assigning personnel, didn’t notice the tension. Since Su Banxia really had nothing to do and the risk control department was indeed busy, she looked at Su Banxia and said, "Would it be okay for you to work temporarily in the risk control department?" Su Banxia nodded and agreed. Work was work; there was nothing to complain about. Besides, if she refused, it would only invite gossip and drag Fang Shiqing into it. So, Su Banxia ended up staying in the risk control department. The ways women could make things difficult for each other were truly bizarre. Su Banxia deeply felt how terrifying female jealousy could be after joining the risk control department. "Secretary Su, could you pour me a glass of water?" This was the first thing Su Banxia heard before she even sat down. It came from Teng Yuan. Since someone had asked, she had no reason to refuse. So she poured a glass of water for Teng Yuan, but as soon as she returned, a second person spoke up. Su Banxia smiled faintly and looked at the girl beside Teng Yuan. "What’s your surname?" The girl’s face darkened as she shot back, "Isn’t it just asking you to pour a glass of water? Are you planning to hold a grudge?" Su Banxia found it amusing. "I’m in the risk control department now. Technically, I’m part of this team. Asking for your name should be normal, right?" Still holding the water glass, she hadn’t handed it to Teng Yuan yet. Su Banxia turned to Teng Yuan with a smile and asked, "Manager Teng, what’s my next task?" Seeing her little sidekick rendered speechless by Su Banxia, Teng Yuan glanced at Su Banxia and reached for the glass. But just as her hand touched it, Su Banxia set it down. Unfortunately, the glass tipped over, spilling water on the floor. "You—" Teng Yuan was furious, glaring at Su Banxia. "Su Banxia, what’s your problem?" Su Banxia smiled lightly and said, "Sorry, Manager Teng, I didn’t mean to. I thought you had already taken it. My apologies!" Her tone was sincere, and with the whole office watching, Teng Yuan couldn’t say much. Suppressing her anger, she pointed to a spot and said, "Go sit over there. I’ll assign you work later." Su Banxia smiled and replied, "Thank you for your consideration, Manager Teng." Teng Yuan snorted coldly at her and stormed off to her own office. Su Banxia took her assigned seat. The young woman nearby glanced at her curiously but didn’t seem inclined to talk. Su Banxia said nothing. After a while, Teng Yuan’s sidekick dumped a pile of documents on Su Banxia’s desk and said, "Secretary Su, these are your tasks for today. You’ve been with President Pei for so long; handling these files should be no problem." Su Banxia frowned, looked at the stack of documents, and didn’t say much. The sidekick smirked at her with a hint of schadenfreude and walked away. Su Banxia flipped through the files, momentarily unsure what to do. They were all contracts that had already been reviewed. The young woman nearby, seeing her at a loss, couldn’t help but say, "There’s a spreadsheet on the computer in front of you. Find the contract entry log for June this year, locate the corresponding partners for these contracts, input their information into the computer, and save it to the archive." Su Banxia followed her instructions, opened the file, and started figuring it out. The task wasn’t hard—essentially just data entry. But expecting her to input four hundred contracts in one day? Did they think she was a miracle worker? The young woman, feeling sympathetic, added, "These contracts go through the company’s central system for review on the fifteenth of every month. If you don’t finish, it’ll delay the whole company’s process. You might have to work late tonight." Su Banxia realized with a start that tomorrow was the fifteenth. Somewhat annoyed, she asked, "Wasn’t anyone responsible for these contracts before?" The young woman replied, "The person who used to handle the data entry quit. The risk control department has too much work, so it kept getting pushed back. Manager Teng was planning to have everyone work late tonight to finish them, but now that you’re here..." Su Banxia: "..." So they were dumping all this on her to input? Damn, what a dirty trick! Four hundred contracts—she wouldn’t finish even if she worked overtime tonight. The young woman looked at her sympathetically. "You were a bit too harsh earlier. Manager Teng holds grudges. She’ll probably keep making things hard for you." Su Banxia smiled and started inputting data, saying calmly, "I’m not a pushover. Even if I hadn’t done that, she wouldn’t have let me off easy." So why should she swallow her pride and let herself be bullied? ... By the time it was almost quitting time, Su Banxia was still buried in her work, typing away at the computer. Her phone had been ringing endlessly, but she hadn’t noticed. It wasn’t until Yan Xin showed up that she snapped out of it. "Everyone’s off work, and you’re still here?" Yan Xin walked over and stood beside her. Su Banxia looked up at him and hummed in acknowledgment. "Is President Pei going to France for something?" Investigating Lin Tongze’s company? A simple business trip? Or something else? "I don’t know." Yan Xin gave her a curt reply, then noticed her phone buzzing and reminded her, "You should answer that first." Su Banxia glanced at the phone. The caller ID showed an unknown number. She picked it up, and a woman’s voice came through. "Su Banxia, where are you?" Su Banxia: "???" She was confused. Who was looking for her? "The company," she said after a pause. "Hello, who is this?" The voice on the other end ignored her question. "Are you at Dingsheng?" Su Banxia: "...Yeah." Then the call ended. Su Banxia was baffled. She shrugged it off and decided not to dwell on it. Instead, she turned to Yan Xin, who was still standing there. "What’s up with you?" Why had he suddenly shown up here after work? Was he here to watch her work? Yan Xin found a seat, sat down, and stared at her for a long moment before saying, "Are you and Lin Tongze married?" Su Banxia: "...No." How did that even come up?
