“Linlin, why isn't the young lady coming out?”
With the boss absent, the secretaries started to chat.
“Didn’t she come out for a stroll earlier?” Jin Linlin also wanted to see the little cutie.
“Oh, I wanted to see her! If she wasn’t in the president’s office, I would have gone in long ago.”
“Do you think I don’t want to! I don’t want to be ‘cut~’ by the president later,” Jin Linlin made a throat-slitting gesture with her hand.
Yun Mengmeng, overhearing their conversation from the corner, assumed it was Night Jinghuai’s girlfriend, some young lady who had arrived and was now in his office. She immediately felt a pang of displeasure.
After hesitating for a moment, she stepped forward to inquire.
“Sister Linlin, who are you referring to as the young lady?”
Jin Linlin looked at her with annoyance. In just a few days, she had turned the entire floor into a mess. She couldn't do anything right, yet they couldn't scold her, as she'd burst into tears at the slightest criticism.
However, thinking about the matter of the young lady, she still needed to explain it clearly to her. Otherwise, if she caused offense, they would all suffer the consequences.
“I forgot to tell you earlier. The first thing new employees need to know is about the young lady. She is the young lady of Night Group, the sole heir. She is also President Ye’s daughter, understand?”
Jin Linlin felt that Yun Mengmeng was too unreliable in her work and explained it to her word by word.
“Daughter? Isn’t the president single?”
Yun Mengmeng couldn’t believe it and felt a bit disappointed, though she wasn’t sure why.
“Shhh!! The young lady only has a father, no mother. I’m warning you, don’t mention her mother in front of her if you meet her. As for the reason, you don’t need to know, understand?”
Jin Linlin felt it was unnecessary to tell her how Nuannuan was born. As long as she didn't disrespect the young lady in the future, that would be enough.
“I understand.”
Yun Mengmeng’s mood brightened considerably, and she began to conjure up elaborate and tragic scenes of women abandoning their husbands and children in her mind.
She felt so sorry for the president, no wonder he always seemed so aloof. Such an excellent and charming man, which woman could bear to hurt him like this?
Although he held a high position, he still had to raise a child at home. With the president being so busy, he even brought his child to work. It would be great if there was a mistress of the house.
The young lady must also be unhappy, lacking maternal love. She had to perform well in front of the young lady. Perhaps the young lady could experience maternal love, and if perhaps…
No, no, Yun Mengmeng, you can’t indulge in wishful thinking. You’re here to repay a kindness, how can you covet the president?
Jin Linlin watched Yun Mengmeng go from happy to frowning, feeling a bit bewildered. If she knew what Yun Mengmeng was thinking, she would be the first to scold her to death.
Peh! Dreaming of impossible things!
“Sister, when will Daddy come back?”
Nuannuan had struggled on the sofa for a while before deciding to come out and take a look.
Jin Linlin hadn't noticed Nuannuan coming out because she was too busy watching Yun Mengmeng.
“Why is the young lady out? Are you bored?”
“Mhm~ I miss Daddy~” Nuannuan nodded.
“Please wait a little longer, young lady, okay? The president is about to finish his meeting.” Jin Linlin had work to do soon and unfortunately couldn't stay with the young lady.
Yun Mengmeng’s eyes lit up. She had just been thinking about how to impress the young lady, and now the opportunity had presented itself.
“Sister Linlin, why don’t I take the young lady to play?”
“You?”
“Mhm, I often help my relatives take care of children at home, so I have a lot of experience.”
“No,” Jin Linlin absolutely dared not let her take care of the child and decisively refused.
Seeing this plan fail, Yun Mengmeng thought for a moment and then turned to fawn over Nuannuan.
“Young lady, my name is Yun Mengmeng. I’m a new intern. If you’re bored, I’ll play with you, okay?”
Nuannuan was just looking for her, and she had walked right up to her, so she nodded.
“Okay~”
“You can’t take her off the top floor, understand? Also, the young lady is allergic to mangoes, don’t let her touch them.”
Seeing that the young lady had agreed herself, Jin Linlin couldn’t say anything more and could only instruct her with concern.
“Don’t worry, Sister Linlin.”
While they were talking, Nuannuan took a good look at Yun Mengmeng.
Yun Mengmeng wasn’t exactly a beauty. She had a delicate appearance, wore a white shirt and jeans, and a pair of white shoes. She had the air of a fresh, naive girl.
“Sister, where are we going to play~”
“Let’s go to the president’s office! That way, when the president returns, he can find you directly.”
Yun Mengmeng privately thought: it would be best if the president saw her motherly side when he returned. And she could get along very well with the young lady.
Jin Linlin listened from the side and frowned. The president’s office wasn’t a place anyone could just enter. Just as she was about to stop her, Nuannuan had already agreed.
“Okay~”
Yun Mengmeng, with a pleased expression, led Nuannuan into the office.
This was her first time entering the president’s office. Upon entering, she continuously looked around.
So this was the environment where the president usually worked, truly befitting his status. It was a bit too quiet, but that was okay; she would gradually change it in the future.
“Sister?”
Nuannuan frowned as she watched Yun Mengmeng get distracted again. Is this female lead not very bright? It seems like both female leads she’s encountered have some issues.
If the female leads in the plot are all like this, how did the previous task-takers fail?
What Nuannuan didn’t know was that those task-takers were different from her in terms of identity. A female lead would guard against an adult of the same sex, but no one would guard against a three-year-old of the same sex.
Night Jinghuai was a person who was very difficult to win over. When facing a high-quality target, before even capturing them, one would capture themselves. Even if that were the case, they would still consider the person as already theirs.
When confronting task-takers, the female leads had the influence of the plot to back them up, but what did the task-takers have? How could they possibly win?
When facing task-takers, Night Jinghuai was a stranger to them, so why would he favor them? However, Night Jinghuai now inexplicably favors Nuannuan.
Another point was that Night Jinghuai was indeed influenced by the plot line, but that was because he had no love in his heart.
And when Nuannuan appeared, she quickly occupied his heart.
Once the heart has connections and love, it wouldn't be easily influenced. Instead, the female leads were always influenced by the plot line.
