Addicted: Book Two - The Raging Flames of Passion

Chapter 77 - The Infatuated Master Gu

Despite the aforementioned, it was impossible for her to believe that Gu Hai like a man.

Nevertheless, she secretly regarded Tong Zhe as a rival who was in an unrequited love since she did not believe that Gu Hai had ever liked him back.

"Alright, next we will elect the temporary Secretary of the Board," Gu Hai announced.

In just seconds, practically everyone casted their eyes full of anticipation over to Tong Zhe. That was largely because, if Tong Zhe was chosen, then their chances of being in contact with him would increase. That signified that their chances of being in contact with Gu Hai would also increase.

Yan Ya Jing recommended herself. "I believe I am very suitable for this position."

Tong Zhe calmly shot her a glance and silently pondered to himself, has this woman gone mad? She wants to take on such a drudgery job? Damn, just for the sake of having a bit of time around Gu Hai, she's even willing to throw her life away.

Gu Hai's expression changed as he picked up his head to look at the crowd of beautiful women.

"Does anyone have any objections?"

Xiao Tao was the first to speak, "I think that the position is comparatively better if assumed by a man. Firstly, considering that the duties will be highly onerous, Vice President Yan's body might not be able to endure it. Secondly, taking into account Vice President Tong's background of having been an Executive in Hong Kong for many years, he possesses an abundance of experiences in regard to listing a company. That way, we can save the trouble of having to hire a consultant."

Just as she finished speaking, another person responded.

"I support Xiao Tao's suggestion. This type of strenuous work should be earmarked for a man to do!"

Hearing that, Yan Ya Jing's face revealed a displeased look, "Thank you all for your concern, but my health is quite good. When the company had first operated, the tasks were much strenuous than they are now, yet I managed to handle it all—perfectly fine. These trivial matters are nothing in my eyes. According to my knowledge, the Secretary to the Board of Directors needs to coordinate the relationships between enterprises, government divisions, and act as an intermediary mechanism. In that aspect, I am much more skilled. After all, my network is much broader than Vice President Tong's in this part of the country."

Once those words were said, many people buried their heads and did not utter another sound.

Gu Hai finally spoke, "Xiao Yan, I believe in your abilities completely."

The faint smile that appeared at the corners of Yan Ya Jing's eyes was perfectly captured by Tong Zhe.

"How about this? Let's have Tong Zhe assume the duty of Secretary to the Board of Directors while you take charge of all the external affairs. What do you think?" Gu Hai continued.

Yan Ya Jing's complexion turned purple from anger. She had never anticipated that Gu Hai would put forth such a ruthless action.

The reason why she wanted to undertake that position was because she fancied the internal decision-making and implementation process that it involved. Meanwhile, the external affairs part was only dragged in as a mean to persuade everyone. In truth, she was extremely reluctant to deal with those external affairs even though she had a good handle on them. But now, not only was the chance to be a part of the decision-making process handed over to another person, she had roped in an arduous position instead. Yan Ya Jing actually wanted to die.

"There shouldn't be any problems, right?" Gu Hai asked.

Tong Zhe tossed a scrutinizing gaze toward Yan Ya Jing that seemed to say, little girl, you're still trying to fight with me? Your 'fiancé' has been in my grasp for a long time now. It'll be better for you to just go take a shower and sleep!
