Chapter 11: Admitting mistakes with a good attitude
Emotions come and go quickly.

The girl remained silent for a long time, her thoughts flying to who knows where.

Chen Jingyuan stared at her quietly for a moment, with a hint of absent-mindedness in his low voice, and slowly said, "In the car before, Secretary Liang was in high spirits when discussing his boss's bankruptcy. How come he became silent when talking about work?"

Ok?
I came back to my senses in a daze.

Liang Weining felt a chill down his spine.

This man suddenly came back and attacked her. Could it be that he wanted to settle the score with her?
"No."

After uttering these two words softly, Liang Weining was speechless for a moment.

She calmed herself down, stared at the man, and said seriously, "Mr. Chen is in a high position and can do everything with ease. If even someone like you can go bankrupt, I'm afraid the economy of the entire port area will be beyond repair."

After that, she added: "I was in the car at the time, and it was just a joke to liven up the atmosphere. Mr. Chen, please forgive me, I didn't mean it."

The explanation was timely and the attitude of admitting mistakes was good.

In just three months, Chen Jingyuan had no idea that his secretary, with such a well-behaved and serious face, was hiding so many little tricks.

But often, whenever she talked about official business, she was almost fully armed and dared not slack off at all.

Chen Jingyuan occasionally wondered whether he was too serious or his face was not naturally approachable enough.

As it turns out, Mr. Chen does not have enough understanding of his own appearance.

Indeed, at this moment, the expressionless look on the man's face was interpreted by Liang Weining as having another meaning.

Her intuition told her that what she had just said not only failed to please Chen Jingyuan, but instead backfired. She was afraid that she had already displeased the big boss as soon as she opened her mouth for the first time.

Thinking of this, Liang Weining couldn't help but sigh.

It's hard to work.

Being Chen Jingyuan's secretary is even more difficult.

While I was thinking, the man sitting opposite me finally moved.

But he did not continue the above topic, but asked slowly: "In the past two years, has Secretary Liang planned to change his job?"

Liang Weining didn't understand.

"What position?"

Chen Jingyuan raised his eyes slightly, his gaze fell calmly on the girl's face, his low voice was tainted with the richness of the night, and exuded a trace of warmth that was rarely seen in normal days.

"Public Relations Department, your eloquence is more suitable for facing the media cameras."

"."

So, the boss was mocking her in disguise.

Liang Weining was slightly dissatisfied, "I think that sincere praise cannot be called flattery."

The voice was quite small, but the listener was attentive.

Chen Jingyuan calmly asked back: "Even if it's flattery, so what."

"You wouldn't like someone like that to be your subordinate." The girl straightened her back and spoke with great conviction.

Chen Jingyuan did not comment on this, but he did not refute it either.

Only when he saw the girl's unambiguous expression, a barely perceptible aftertaste appeared at the corner of his lips.

At that moment, the silver-white light shone on the man's face, making his well-defined features appear even more profound and charming. Because of this subtle change, the originally cold and hard jaw also added a bit of softness.

Liang Weining couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Thought to himself.

Mr. Chen, have you been drinking tonight?
Before she had time to think about it, the cell phone in her bag started vibrating. Just as she was about to take it out to take a look, the other party suddenly hung up.

Immediately afterwards, three messages from my best friend flashed in consecutively.

Make an appointment with her for a midnight snack and ask her if she is done with her work and where she is.

Liang Weining tapped her fingertips and sent the real-time location.

Ten seconds.

Gu Yunzhen: [Meet at Lijing Station and go back together after dinner.]

This information comes at a very timely moment.

Liang Weining turned off the phone and looked up at Chen Jingyuan. "My friend is nearby and asked me to have a midnight snack. If Mr. Chen doesn't have other work arrangements, I can ask the driver to park nearby?"

She also classified the time she spent with him in private as work, which is a very normal psychological state for a subordinate towards his superior.

After all, in reality, no one wants their boss to take up too much of their personal time, and Secretary Liang is no exception.

Chen Jingyuan remained silent, but Josie, who had been polite and didn't interrupt, asked when she saw that her father had finally finished the work talk, "Sister, are you going on a date with your boyfriend?"

At first I called her Secretary Liang, but now I call her sister.

Even Josie herself didn't realize how special Liang Weining was in his initial impression.

I have come into contact with many of Daddy’s subordinates before.

No matter the assistants or the company executives, they all lowered their posture when they met him, and their words were full of respect and caution towards him, the 'adopted son of Mr. Chen'.

But Liang Weining is different.

She had good sense of propriety and distance, and could naturally recite poems to him and tell him stories about the poet Li Bai from an equal perspective.

In those few brief minutes in the car tonight, Josie's concentration and understanding of traditional culture surpassed any Chinese class in school.

If there was a chance, he would like to hear Liang Weining talk about something else.

The premise is that there will be a next time.

Naturally, the person involved was not aware that his casual remark had caused Liang Weining to fall into a mysterious silence.

Boy friend.
Pretending to be calm, she raised her eyes and met the man's deep and calm gaze.

Liang Weining's throat was dry and he couldn't help but cough lightly.

After a while, she calmly corrected him, "Not a boyfriend, but a female friend."

Josie was stunned.

"Sister, do you like girls?"

Liang Weining:
Ok.

Blame her for not explaining it clearly.

But this time, before she could explain, Chen Jingyuan, who was sitting opposite her, said in a deep voice, "Josie, don't be rude."

When the boss spoke, the latter suddenly became dispirited.

It is not difficult to see that among the Chen family, not just the second young master, almost no one among the peers and even the younger generations is not afraid of Chen Jingyuan.

Especially Josie, who was raised by Mr. Chen since she was a child, the discipline was naturally stricter.

However, Liang Weining was very surprised.

Chen Jingyuan, such an ambitious capitalist, actually asked his children to read Li Bai's poems in depth.

——Enjoy life to the fullest when you are happy, don’t leave your golden cup facing the moon empty.

If she is really as carefree and relaxed as described in the poem, how will Josie have the strong mindset and courage to gain a foothold in the Chen family when she grows up?

Mr. Chen from Hong Kong has definitely not reached his current position by living a life of instant gratification.

And those who are at the pinnacle of power will never pursue the same indulgence in mountains and rivers that Li Bai enjoyed in his later years.

So sometimes, Chen Jingyuan is this person.

It's really hard to understand.

After getting off the bus, I met up with my bestie at the subway entrance.

In the neon-lit night, the extended Pullman stopped briefly and attracted the attention of many pedestrians around. Ordinary people would not look at the car logo, but only need to glance at the license plate to know who is sitting inside.

Watching the luxury car go away, Liang Weining turned sideways and pulled Gu Yunzhen toward the sidewalk.

The latter sighed as he walked, "Who says that going to university is useless? At least you, a top student, did not go to HKU for four years in vain."

Guess what she wants to say.

Liang Weining chuckled: "If I tell you that in the entire China-Hong Kong Group, a bachelor's degree is only considered basic, will you still praise me so much?"

基础水平
"Come on, a high school graduate like me, I'm afraid I can't even be a cleaner in your company."

Gu Yunzhen seemed to be mocking himself, but there was no trace of inferiority in his tone.

A person’s choice at a crossroads determines her future destiny to the greatest extent.

But only Liang Weining knew that Gu Yunzhen had no choice four years ago.

She firmly believes that her Zhenzhen, even if not blessed by God, can create a prosperous future through her own efforts.
