CHAPTER 112 CONFIDENT SMILE
After some bargaining, Lucien finally agrees that Nina can go out to work, but on the condition that she
must work in Gray’s Group as his secretary. He wants to keep her in his sight.
Today is the first day to work. Nina is particularly excited. Black blazer and red skirt shape her slim
figure well.
“Hello! Is that Miss Morrison, Nina Morrison?” The personnel director takes her directly to the office
next to the president’s office.
There are two other girls in the secretary’s room who are working before the computer screen.
“Let me introduce to you our new colleague, Nina Morrison.” The personnel director introduces. She
murmurs in her heart and wonders what is special of Nina Morrison? And the president ordered her to
personally guide her on boarding.
“Oh!” A girl in a blue chiffon shirt stands up, and her face is full of surprises, “Nina! It’s you!”
Nina looks at the girl, and there is a surprise smile on her face, “Sunny! What are you doing here?”
The girl in blue is just Nina’s friend, Sunny, who used to work in the restaurant.
Sunny rushes over and holds Nina’s hand, “Nina, how can you disappear so long? Your phone number
is changed too. I’ve called you several times but failed....”
“Cough! Cough!” The personnel director pretends to cough and she shots out sharp eyesight through
her phoenix eyes.
Nina and Sunny look at each other and spit out their tongue at the same time. Just now they were so
excited that they forgot that they were working in the company.
The personal director closes the door and leaves. This small office suddenly becomes the world of
three girls.
“Nina, this is Wendy.” Sunny introduces another girl in the office to Nina.
Nina reaches out her hand to Wendy friendly, “Hi! I am Nina Morrison. You can call me Nina.”
Wendy is very beautiful. Her skin is white and tender. She has a pair of beautiful big eyes, with long
and curly eyelashes. She looks like a doll, and she also dresses in princess style. The whole person is
like a delicate porcelain doll.
Wendy pretends not to see Nina’s outstretched hand, and she squeezes out a smile from her face, “Hi!”
What a little girl with unknown origin who wants to shake hands with her. Sunny’s friend must be
another poor girl with no background. She doesn’t have to entertain her.
Sunny is standing beside with her face in red. She has a bad relationship with Wendy. Unexpectedly,
Wendy is so rude to Nina because of this.
Nina looks at Sunny with a little confusion. She doesn’t seem to offend Wendy, how can she be so
impolite.
“Come with me, I’ll take you to your seat.” Sunny winks at Nina and takes her to the table next to her.
Computers and other things have been configured before. Nina just entered the work interface.
Just after Nina landing in the company’s internal communication software, Sunny’s chat box pops up:
“Nina, Wendy’s father is customer manager of Gray Group, so she has always been very supercilious
in the company. She is just that virtue, so you don’t need to care about her.”
“Well, I see. Anyway, I’ll do my job well.” Nina sends a smile emoji to Sunny.
It’s so nice. Nina didn’t expect to meet Sunny in Gray’s Group. She feels that her life has some color
again.
It’s also nice to be able to work again. Since she has been with Lucien, her life has been far from
normal.
Nina looks out of the window at the high and blue sky, and takes a deep breath. This is C City. she
finally comes back.
She had already called the funeral home, booked the sacrificial supplies such as wreath and paper
money to be burned for the dead and so on. Tomorrow, she will go to the cemetery to worship her
father.
Dad, how are you in heaven? Are you happy with mother?
Dad, I’m fine.
Nina opens the diary on the computer and records her mood at the moment.
“Bi…” The loudspeaker in the secretary’s room rings.
Lucien’s voice comes out, “there will be an important meeting later. Wendy, please take Nina with you
to attend the meeting.”
Wendy looks at Nina with surprise. In general, only senior secretaries are qualified to attend such high-
level meetings. Nina, a girl who just came here today, was named by the president to attend the
meeting?
Nina is a little excited. Finally, she can see the legendary senior management. As a freshman in the
workplace, she can definitely learn a lot.
When it’s time for meeting, Wendy shouts at Nina, “Nina, meeting!”
Nina walks to the meeting room with her laptop in her arms. Seeing Sunny’s gesture of cheering on
her, she feels warm
Wendy leads the way in front. When they get to the meeting room, Nina suddenly feels a little anxious
to pee. It maybe she just drank too much water.
“Wendy, could you wait for me for a moment? I want to go to the toilet.” Nina says with some
embarrassment.
Wendy frowns. What an annoying person Nina is. She won’t wait for her.
Pointing to the meeting room at the end of the corridor, Wendy says, “You can go to the meeting room
by yourself later. I’ll go first.”
When Nina hurries to the meeting room from toilet, the directors and managers of all departments have
arrived at the meeting room. Nina stands at the door with her laptop in her arms. Everyone in the
meeting room looks at her curiously.
This little girl is not a familiar person. Everyone guesses her identity.
Suddenly, sounds of footsteps come from outside of the door. Nina stands with her back to the door
and sees that all the people stand up from their seats. They shout respectfully, “President.”
Nina turns around and sees that Lucien is coming into the door with several executives.
Nina hurriedly goes inside to make way for them.
When Lucien and other people all sit down, Nina finds that there is no other empty seats in the
conference room! The only empty seat is next to Lucien!
People in the conference room look at the girl who is the only one standing in the room as if she is a
monster. Nina notices Wendy throwing a reproachful look at her in the far corner.
Wendy is so anger. Why this girl is so stupid? A secretary should come in early and sit in a corner. This
Nina is not only late but also sticks there like a woodman.
The president called her to bring Nina to the meeting. Now Nina made a mess, the person who is
responsible is Wendy herself!
“Secretary Morrison, sit down!” Lucien, who looks down at the document, suddenly speaks lightly.
“Hah?” Nina is a little surprised, but she has to sit down beside him.
“Let’s go ahead.” Lucien puts his hands on the table, with his long fingers crossed together and his
thick eyebrows slightly wrinkled, waiting for the report of the heads of each department.
Nina sits at his side, and sees Lucien is paying all his attention listening to the reports.
His deep eyes radiate wise light, his fingers are long and powerful, and his wheat skin is very clean and
young in the morning bright light. Nina dares not to look at his cold and handsome face.
Nina has never seen Lucien is so professional, calm, deep and wise, who is totally different from the
conceited man in her mind!
Nina looks at him secretly and sighs in her heart: no wonder people say that a man who is working is
the most attractive!
Seems to detect Nina’s sight, Lucien raises a small smile on his face.
It’s a very small smile. It’s so small that people can’t even notice it.
But Nina notices it.
Nina’s face turns red and she quickly concentrates her mind. She even began to be attracted by
Lucien! Nina thinks her brain must be cutting-out.
Nina pays attention to the reports of the managers of all departments.
Suddenly, the speech of a manager of the business department catches her attention. The business
manager is submitting a business plan. Nina happened to read the plan this morning.
The data that the manager said is different from the final data report she saw.
Her delicate brow is slightly wrinkled. Listening to the manager carefully, Nina is more and more
confirm that what this manager said is wrong. The data he provided Lucien is not right at all!
However, Lucien doesn’t seem to recognize it at all. He also asks the manager for the most detailed
budget with interest.
Nina feels worried and anxious. She knows that this business is the most important business of Gray’s Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Group in the near future, which is of great significance to Gray’s Group.
Nina is struggling. She is a freshman after all. She just went to work on the first day today. Even if the
manager say something wrong, Lucien doesn’t find out. What is she anxious for? It’s not her turn to
point out the manager’s mistake!
But another voice is saying that since she has joined Gray’s Group, she is the staff of Gray. She should
try her best to do everything well and strive for the best interests of Gray.
The manager finishes and sits down. The projector began to play a new report from another
department. If she doesn’t talk about it, there will be no chance.
Nina summons all her courage and stands up abruptly. She says in a trembled voice, “Some data in the
report of the manager of the business department is not correct.”
Nina’s words aroused huge waves all of a sudden.
Everyone is surprised to stare at her. The new secretary pointed out the manager’s mistake directly at
such an important meeting!
People whisper to each other. The manager of the business department blushes and says in an
unconvinced voice, “Secretary Morrison, do you have any proof of my mistake?”
Nina raises her head and tries to wear a professional smile on her face, hoping to hide her
nervousness with a smile.
She calms down, tries to recall the report she had seen in the morning, and says in a calm and
soothing voice, “I just saw the report related to this business this morning. According to data statistics,
Gray’s Group spent three million dollars on advertising in TV stations and major medias and magazines
last year. I don’t know the benefit from the three million dollars. But the annual financial report of Gray’s
Group should be read by all of you, and the benefit is considerable. But this time, without KPI
assessment pressure, business department doesn’t invites TV station , but ordinary medias and online
media newspapers and magazines. Without the cost of TV station, why does advertising cost exceed
six million dollars?”
As speaking, Nina completely calms down. She asks the final question with a confident smile, then
looks at the managements and waits for their response.
