Chen Cheng couldn't help but smile; every frown and smile from this woman was filled with charm.
He wondered how a Blockhead like Robin could resist her charm.
Chen Cheng was naturally satisfied with her answer and said,
"Tell me about your last job. I need to know why you resigned."
Li Na's lips twitched, she let out a breath, and said candidly, "I wanted a promotion, and my boss couldn't satisfy that."
Chen Cheng's lips curled up slightly; it seemed this was the timeline around when Li Na resigned.
"You were an executive secretary before, and you're still applying for a secretary position at Company Name. You think this is a promotion?"
Li Na frowned, looking a bit troubled. After a moment, she replied, "Quanjing and Company Name aren't on the same level, not to mention I'm applying for the position of Secretary to the Chairman."
Chen Cheng smiled. Li Na indeed had a strong desire to climb the corporate ladder.
Since she couldn't have love, she wanted a career.
If she couldn't have either, she might as well leave.
A smile appeared on Chen Cheng's face. "You're very good at giving compliments."
Li Na smiled. "It's just the truth."
Chen Cheng tapped his index finger lightly on the desk and said calmly, "You've successfully convinced me. Start today. Any problems?"
Li Na arched an eyebrow and replied simply, "None."
She didn't ask a single question about benefits or salary.
She had absolute confidence in herself; no matter what Chen Cheng offered, she would secure the benefits that met her expectations.
She deserved that confidence; otherwise, Chen Cheng wouldn't have hired her.
No matter how charming a woman was, if she lacked ability, Chen Cheng wouldn't use her.
He knew how to prioritize.
The economic base determines the superstructure; if one wants to pick up girls, making money is the way to go.
He wouldn't be so foolish as to push someone with mismatched abilities into a position they didn't belong in; that would be shooting himself in the foot.
As for Li Na...
Based on her professional abilities, her information gathering, crisis anticipation, and resource coordination skills made her fully capable of being the Director of the Secretary's Office of Company Name.
On the surface, Chen Cheng was hiring a secretary, but he was actually screening candidates for the secretary's office.
As the company grew, one secretary wouldn't be enough.
Chen Cheng turned to Gao Yue. "Process her onboarding now. Clear out an office for her right outside mine."
Gao Yue didn't show much surprise at Chen Cheng choosing Li Na.
"Understood, Chairman Chen. I'll arrange it immediately."
This woman was too bewitching; every frown and smile was full of charm.
A predator like the boss would likely find it hard to let her go.
"Candidates one, two, four, and five may leave. If you're interested in other positions at our company, you can contact me again."
With Li Na selected, the others were naturally eliminated.
But those selected by Gao Yue certainly didn't lack ability; perhaps they could find a place in Company Name as well.
After saying that, Gao Yue smiled at Li Na and made a welcoming gesture. "Miss Li Na, this way please."
Gao Yue showed Li Na plenty of respect; she knew very well the importance of the secretary position in Company Name.
She had originally had a chance herself.
But when Chen Cheng had her take on the role of HR Director of Company Name as well, she knew at that moment she no longer had a chance.
However, it was still a promotion, and her salary had increased significantly.
A blessing in disguise.
Who's to say being the boss's personal secretary is necessarily a good thing?
Li Na stood up and nodded to Chen Cheng with a smile, and Chen Cheng smiled back.
Only then did he see her full outfit for the day.
A blue and white patchwork dress; the blue made her skin look fairer, and the white upper part looked like an elegant little shawl from the front, while the back emphasized her waistline with a beautiful curve.
Curvaceous and full of charm—these words couldn't describe Li Na more perfectly.
Chen Cheng withdrew his gaze, his lips curling up as he looked at the remaining two people.
If Li Na was a pleasant surprise, then the woman next to Qin Shi competing for the Private Lawyer position was a massive surprise.
The Private Lawyer position was something Chen Cheng had Gao Yue add later.
Instead of having the legal department handle every house or car purchase, it was better to hire a dedicated lawyer for such matters, which would also offer higher confidentiality.
This woman's name was Zou Yu.
Yes, that's right, the Goddess of Beauty herself, also known by many Yan Zus as the 'Fairy Sister.'
He pointed to the chair across from him. "Sit over here."
Zou Yu remained expressionless, nodded faintly, and stood up to walk over.
Qin Shi naturally followed.
Once the two were seated, Chen Cheng said calmly, "Please introduce yourselves."
Qin Shi frowned as she watched Chen Cheng's gaze, then turned to look at the beautiful woman beside her.
She thought to herself that things were going south; this dog of a man had taken an interest in this beautiful woman.
She immediately chimed in with a coquettish voice, "Do I still need to introduce myself?"
Not only did Chen Cheng's brow furrow, but even Zou Yu turned to look at her, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Go wait for me in my office."
Qin Shi's face froze; she never expected that after they had already slept together, this dog of a man wouldn't give her any face at all.
Feeling a bit guilty, she asked softly, "Why?"
Chen Cheng was truly fed up with her unprofessional behavior and replied flatly, "You've been eliminated."
"On what grounds..."
Before she could finish, she was silenced by Chen Cheng's cold glare.
She muttered a sheepish "Alright then," picked up the Kelly bag Chen Cheng had given her, and stomped out of the conference room in a huff.
Once she left, Chen Cheng gave Zou Yu a sheepish smile. "I have some personal history with her, and I don't like bringing personal relationships into my work."
That was a bit of a double standard; Lucy had joined Company Name, after all.
In reality, he simply didn't think much of Qin Shi's abilities.
Zou Yu just nodded faintly. "I understand."
Chen Cheng nodded. "Let's begin. Briefly introduce yourself."
Zou Yu cleared her throat. "Hello, Mr. Chen. My name is Zou Yu. I've been working for four years and am a Divorce Lawyer."
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow. Had he stumbled into a nest of Divorce Lawyers?
"..."
While Zou Yu was introducing herself, Chen Cheng rested his head on his arm, admiring her beauty from up close.
She was truly beautiful; the kind of beauty where she didn't have to do anything—just her sitting there would make you fall in love.
Not to mention that at twenty-six, Zou Yu was at the peak of her beauty.
Her pupils were dark and deep, and her eyes held both the innocence of a young girl and the depth of a mature woman.
This contradictory quality gave her eyes a strong sense of story, making one unable to resist wanting to explore further.
She had a high bridge to her nose, full lips with soft lines, and a cool, distant air when she wasn't smiling; but when she did, her eyes were like crescent moons, radiating a healing and approachable charm.
Her skin was as fair as jade, and her posture was swan-like, with a long neck and smooth shoulder lines; she looked like a classical painting when still and moved with the grace of flowing water.
A balance of ethereal and gentle, she was like a fairy who didn't belong to the mortal world, as graceful as a startled swan, her beauty heart-stirring.
Today, Zou Yu was in professional attire—a light blue shirt, a black blazer, and a black skirt suit—exuding an air of abstinence.
