Chapter 195: The Miserable Mighty Secretary Xia (1)

As Xia Zhetao was speaking, he cast a glance with a hint of joy and gave Mu Tingfeng a confident look as if listening to his suggestions was the best thing to do.

President Mu had a high level of intelligence, but his emotional quotient was below absolute zero. As such, he was easily influenced by Xia Zhetao. He fell silent for a long while and finally, he spoke awkwardly, “Then… continue doing so…”

“Yes, yes, yes! That’s right! As the old saying goes, the sincerity of a man could finally melt a woman’s heart. Even a tough lady like Ms. Zhao would also give in to a man who keeps pursuing her. President Mu, as long as you’re willing to persevere and work hard, I’m sure you could win her heart soon.”

Mu Tingfeng was a little moved by Xia Zhetao’s ridiculous remarks. However, Mu Tingfeng was used to being restrained and reserved in nature and so, even if his emotions changed, others could not easily see the changes in him. The only way to show that he was on cloud nine at that moment was…

“I will give you a raise when all is done.”

A simple sentence like this could cheer Xia Zhetao up more effectively than the use of any magic bullet. He had worked for Mu Tingfeng for many years. Even if he had not contributed much, at least he had worked hard for him. However, Xia Zhetao had not received any raise for his salary ever since a few years ago.

Although Xia Zhetao’s salary was a thousand times higher than an average secretary’s, the rare pleasure of receiving an increase in salary was not something that someone with a high salary could experience. Xia Zhetao had been working hard and strived to achieve what he had today. But, he had not been given a pay raise even once!

Only God knew what he did was all for the sake of his president so that his president could have a smooth-sailing ride in his relationship. Who would have thought that he had ended up with all his hard-earned money being deducted? He felt like… He was just kicked in the groin!

As such, Xia Zhetao was not happy. He knew it was not easy but he wanted a raise!

Today, his superior finally took the initiative to bring up the topic. How could Xia Zhetao not be excited to the point of near tears?

However, Xia Zhetao knew well that the person whom he had to rely on was a person who appeared cool on the outside, but warm on the inside and so, no matter how excited Xia Zhetao was and how he had wanted to run outside and scream, he pretended to look deep in thought. He looked extremely calm and showed his loyalty by saying, “President, don’t worry. As your chief secretary, how could I not be able to handle a small issue like this? Please be rest assured and leave everything to me. It’s all well within our reach.”

Mu Tingfeng cast a glance at Xia Zhetao faintly and did not speak anything. All he wanted was the end results, and he never asked about the process. As long as Xia Zhetao was able to get things done, an increment in his pay would only be natural. After all, it proved that Xia Zhetao was worth the value. However, if things were done poorly…

While Xia Zhetao was indulging in the surprise of getting a raise in his pay, little did he know that he had been overconfident in his speech and thus, his words were burying his own grave.

In the end, not only did he not receive a raise as he had wished. Instead, he made a blunder so great that his salary was deducted once again. A tragedy in his career that one could barely watch!

Of course, all this would come about later.

“By the way, there’s one more thing, President Mu.” It had been difficult for Xia Zhetao to snap himself out of the joy of a potential raise in salary. However, at least he still complied with professional ethics and did not forget the main reason why he had come to look for Mu Tingfeng.

Mu Tingfeng paused in the middle of signing the documents. He did not speak and only looked up at Xia Zhetao, indicating that Xia Zhetao could continue.

“I heard that Ms. Zhao has kicked another Ms. Zhao out of Zhao Enterprise a few days ago.”

“Another Ms. Zhao?”

Xia Zhetao cleared his throat and explained, “Ms. Zhao was the one outside the elevator and had wanted to drag you to rest in her office. Er… I suppose she’s also considered as Ms. Zhao’s… sister.”

“So, she’s Ms. Zhao?” Mu Tingfeng frowned. He did not have any good impression about Zhao Youxi who had repeatedly wanted to seduce him.

“That’s right. It’s her,” Xia Zhetao paused for a brief moment before he continued slowly, “President Mu, the timing of the young lady of the Zhao family being kicked out of Zhao Enterprise happened right after the elevator accident…”

Xia Zhetao had hinted it so obviously that Mu Tingfeng immediately understood what he meant. A sharp look appeared in his eyes, and he said coldly, “So, are you suspecting that this woman was related to the malfunctioned elevator that happened last time?”

Xia Zhetao nodded seriously. He unwittingly recalled that day when he saw Zhao Youxi at Zhao Enterprise. The situation was in an urgent state and the scene was so chaotic that he simply did not have time to think deeply.

After Xia Zhetao calmed down his mind and thought it over, he immediately discovered a suspicious point.

At the very beginning, when Zhao Youxi heard those few ladies discussing the two had entered the lift together, Zhao Youxi rushed out in a hurry. At that time, the elevator was clearly not malfunctioning yet. But, Zhao Youxi’s reaction…

At that time, Xia Zhetao had interpreted Zhao Youxi’s abnormal reaction as jealousy because of the two taking the same lift. However, as he recalled in detail, her expression at that time was more like panic, instead of jealousy. That kind of panic expression was like she had already known something was wrong with the elevator and how it might endanger the president’s safety.

During the rescue process, Zhao Youxi had repeatedly behaved unusually and this had also been very thought-provoking. Now, the timing of Zhao Youxi being kicked out of Zhao Enterprise had further convinced Xia Zhetao that Zhao Youxi was almost certainly related to the elevator accident. Even if Zhao Youxi might not be the main culprit, she definitely must have played a part in this.

Xia Zhetao explained everything that he knew to Mu Tingfeng in detail, including his own speculations. After all, Mu Tingfeng was considered one of the parties involved and so, it was necessary to get him informed.

Mu Tingfeng was expressionless after hearing Xia Zhetao’s narration of the entire story. No one could identify any changes of emotions from his face.

However, one could identify the increasingly chilly aura in the atmosphere. Apparently, Mu Tingfeng was not as calm as he appeared to be.

Even though Xia Zhetao had been working under Mu Tingfeng for so many years and his ability to withstand coldness had gradually increased, just like a portable popsicle in this new era, he could not help but shiver in such sudden bone-chilling coldness.

‘President is getting really good at releasing his cold aura. Darn it! I’m freezing…!”

Mu Tingfeng slowly restrained himself after giving off the cold aura for some time. Then, he turned around and looked at Xia Zhetao, “Ask someone to find out what happened at all costs and by all means.”

Xia Zhetao froze because of Mu Tingfeng’s resolution. Before this, Xia Zhetao had thought of investigating the matter himself. However, it had happened in Zhao Enterprise and so, it would be slightly inconvenient to conduct the investigation.

However, since his superior had instructed him to carry out the investigation at all costs and by all means, he could boldly execute it including the use of the Mu family’s fearsome power that had lain dormant and hidden in the dark…

“President Mu, what if… I mean, what if it turns out that the accident was really committed by the young lady of the Zhao family, do you plan to…”

Before Xia Zhetao finished speaking, Mu Tingfeng glared at him and said unhappily, “If you can’t even handle a small matter like this, what’s the point of having you here?!”

Xia Zhetao fell speechless, ‘In other words, do you mean you’re just going to absolve yourself of all responsibility?

‘You take all the credit in pleasing the former Mrs. President, while I have to do all the exhaustingly tedious work behind the scenes! You cannot set me up like this! This is plain exploitation and oppression!’
