After having lunch with Xia Weilan at noon, Mo Beichen returned to Mo Ying Group.
In the afternoon, at Mo Beichen's order, Xia Weilan accompanied him to the meeting room for an internal meeting in an orderly manner.
In the meeting room, the people sitting around the table subconsciously looked up when they heard the noise. After seeing Xia Weilan come in with Mo Beichen, their expressions were all very rich.
After all, no one had expected that the eldest daughter of the Xia family would really come to the company as a secretary, and she had been doing it for two days.
Xia Weilan felt the gazes cast by everyone, but her expression remained calm. She walked to one side and handed out the prepared documents to each manager one by one, acting exactly like a competent secretary.
After distributing the documents, Xia Weilan stood upright beside Mo Beichen, expressionless.
"Let's start the meeting!" Mo Beichen said.
"This may not be appropriate," one of the managers said with a strange look on his face as he looked at Xia Weilan.
"After all, she's not an employee of the company. This is an internal company meeting. How can we allow outsiders to attend?"
"Yes. Miss Xia, why don't you go to the reception room and take a rest," another person chimed in.
Xia Weilan met the various looks from the crowd. After thinking for a while, her phoenix eyes finally landed on Mo Beichen, waiting for his decision.
"No need. She's my secretary today. She'll do whatever Xu Wei used to do," Mo Beichen said without even raising his head, with a business - like tone.
Hearing this, the two who had strongly opposed it shut their mouths.
The whole meeting was shrouded in a strange atmosphere. However, as time passed and with Mo Beichen's rigorous attitude, everyone unconsciously became serious and focused, no longer having the time to care about Miss Xia.
"Ring - ring - ring~" Just as the meeting was in full swing, Xia Weilan's phone suddenly rang.
Everyone stopped, including Mo Beichen.
Without even looking at the caller ID, Xia Weilan looked embarrassed and was about to turn off her phone. Unexpectedly, Mo Beichen suddenly said:
"Since it's already interrupted the meeting, you can answer it."
Everyone looked at Mo Beichen's inscrutable expression and felt quite shocked. Some people even thought that Mo Beichen was about to get angry and watched Xia Weilan with a hint of schadenfreude.
"I'll go outside to answer it," Xia Weilan's heart skipped a beat. It would be really embarrassing for her to answer the phone in front of everyone.
"Answer it right here. Continue the meeting after you're done," Mo Beichen's tone was cold, as if he was a bit angry.
He was really curious about who was calling.
"Okay," Xia Weilan had no choice but to lower her head to look at the phone. When she saw that it was Grandpa Mo calling, she quickly answered:
"Grandpa?"
"Girl, I heard that you've gone to the company to be a good helper. Haha, is Beichen beside you?"
Xia Weilan secretly glanced at Mo Beichen. Seeing that he was looking at the documents as if nothing had happened, she nodded slightly and said, "He is."
"Okay. Ask him to take you back for dinner tonight. Grandpa will be waiting for you guys at the old mansion," Grandpa Mo said kindly.
"Okay," Xia Weilan replied and quickly said, "Grandpa, I'm busy. I'll hang up first."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Weilan let out a long breath. She quickly turned her phone to silent mode and grinned awkwardly at everyone.
The managers all looked at Mo Beichen, waiting for him to say something or punish Xia Weilan by kicking her out.
But they only saw Mo Beichen look up from the documents and say as if nothing had happened, "Continue."
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
After all, the company had strict regulations. Everyone had to turn their phones to silent mode before the meeting, not to mention answering the phone during the meeting.
For the rest of the meeting, Xia Weilan hung her head and stood there embarrassedly, like a child who had made a mistake.
After the meeting ended, Xia Weilan followed Mo Beichen into the president's office.
Xia Weilan immediately apologized, "I'm sorry."
Mo Beichen tugged at his tie and sat down behind the desk. Hearing this, his dark eyes looked at her, and his thin lips curled slightly:
"Sorry for what?"
"I forgot to turn my phone to silent mode just now. If you want to punish me, I have nothing to say," Xia Weilan stood there somewhat lacking in confidence.
"Sit down!" Mo Beichen squinted his eyes, his tone noble and pleasant.
Although Xia Weilan didn't understand why Mo Beichen said so, she still sat down on the sofa in front of her. She thought that Mo Beichen was about to deal with her next, but unexpectedly, after Mo Beichen finished speaking, he turned on the computer and concentrated on his work, no longer looking at her.
The whole room was filled with the sound of the keyboard. Xia Weilan had been sitting upright at first, but after a while, she felt tired and leaned back on the sofa, yawning.
"Go to the lounge and rest," Mo Beichen looked up from the computer. Seeing her sitting in a slovenly position and about to fall over, he frowned.
Xia Weilan wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and immediately perked up. Seeing that Mo Beichen no longer looked at her, she wondered if she had misheard. She tentatively stood up and walked to the door of the lounge. Finding that Mo Beichen still didn't react, she turned the doorknob and quietly went in.
There was only a simple table, a wardrobe, a bed, and a separated bathroom in the lounge.
Xia Weilan lay down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. The light and pleasant men's fragrance belonging to Mo Beichen in the room made her feel extremely comfortable.
Before she knew it, she fell asleep.
When she woke up, Xia Weilan checked the time. It was already 4:30 p.m., half an hour before getting off work.
She got up quickly and quickly opened the door of the lounge and walked out. There was no sign of Mo Beichen in the office.
There was a female assistant standing at the door. When she saw Xia Weilan come out, she quickly carried a bag of fruits, snacks, and drinks in.
"Miss Xia, this was ordered by the president. The president has gone to meet a client and will be back in half an hour. The president said that you should fill your stomach first," the female secretary neatly placed the food on the table beside the sofa, with a neither overbearing nor humble attitude.
"Thank you," Xia Weilan quickly said.
"You're welcome. Miss Xia, if you need anything, just let me know. I'll be outside," the female assistant said and walked out without looking sideways. She also thoughtfully closed the door gently.
Xia Weilan sat down on the sofa. While casually eating, her thoughts were wandering. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and her mind became a bit unfocused.
It was really unusual that a serious man like Mo Beichen would allow such messy food in his office.
While Xia Weilan was enjoying the food so leisurely on one side, Xia Ruolin was throwing a tantrum on the other side.
"Dad, it's all Xia Weilan's fault. She made me be kicked out directly on my first day when I went to Mo Ying Group to discuss cooperation!" Xia Ruolin rushed into Xue Zhiqing's office and complained angrily.
