I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 371 Hmm, your mom won't let me hire a female secretary...

"And this is the marketing department..."

Li Ke then took Zhou Heng to visit many more places, giving him a general understanding of Junheng's layout. They'd been touring for almost two hours, and they hadn't even seen half of Junheng...

Zhou Heng was a little tired, and he noticed that Li Ke was also tired, but she didn't dare say anything and led Zhou Heng around...

"Buzzing..."

Just then, Zhou Heng's phone vibrated in his pocket. He quickly took it out and saw it was his father calling...

"Hello, Dad..."

Zhou Heng stopped to answer the phone, and Li Ke also stopped, turned around and waited for Zhou Heng.

"Come find me, I'm not busy right now."

"Ah, I see. You're in the office, right?"

"【Um.】"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Heng looked at Li Ke and said, "Well, Sister Li, I have to go now. Thank you for showing me around. I appreciate your help."

"Oh? You're leaving? Going to find President Yu?"

Li Ke was a little puzzled and asked a question, after all, she had been assigned the work by President Yu, and she didn't dare to end it on her own...

If Zhou Heng leaves without permission, what should I do if President Yu comes to question me?

Zhou Heng paused for a second, then nodded and said, "Yes, President Yu seems to have something to say to me. I'll go now, you can go back and get busy."

"Oh, okay, I understand."

After leaving Li Ke, Zhou Heng planned to go to his father's office to find him.

Li Ke just explained to Zhou Heng which floors each elevator can reach.

One of the elevators leads to the president's office, but it's not accessible to the average person. It's guarded, and only those who have made an appointment in advance or are guests invited by the leader can go up.

After Zhou Heng pressed the elevator button, the elevator doors opened, and a man stood inside. Upon seeing Zhou Heng, he asked in a low voice:

"Hello! Are you Mr. Zhou?"

"um, yes."

"Okay, please come in."

The man pressed his fingerprint, then pressed the button for the top floor. The elevator slowly started moving and soon arrived at the top floor.

The elevator doors opened, and the man bent down, extending his hand: "Please..."

"OK, thanks..."

Zhou Heng stepped out of the elevator and, following the signs, arrived at the CEO's office, gently knocking on the door...

"Enter."

Upon hearing his father's voice, Zhou Heng pushed open the door and went inside.

Inside the spacious and grand office, Zhou Junyao sat on the sofa, brewing tea. What caught Zhou Heng's attention most was the enormous screen used for playing games...

"Dad, I'm here."

"Well, sit down."

Zhou Junyao pointed to the sofa opposite him. Zhou Heng walked over, sat down slowly, and then, without any ceremony, picked up the tea that Zhou Junyao had just brewed and took a sip.

"You were startled when you saw Yu Yinghai this morning, weren't you?" Zhou Junyao chuckled and asked casually.

"Yeah, it startled me. Why did you send him to pick me up? Do you know how many people were giving me strange looks when I came in..."

“Give him a false sense of security and make him lower his guard temporarily. If I secretly call you in without telling him, he will definitely become wary.”

"Oh, that's how it is..."

"How are you feeling? Are you confident you can take over here?" Zhou Junyao leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and asked with a smile.

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"To be honest, it's because you lack confidence, right?"

"No one in this position would have the confidence, would they?"

Zhou Heng shook his head. He felt that his mental fortitude was already very good. In fact, anyone else would have been overwhelmed by such a task long ago.

"So I'll have you do an internship for three years first, and then I'll see how you perform. If you really can't keep up, don't blame me. This isn't a simple company anymore. If we're not careful, do you know how many people will lose their jobs and how many families will break up..."

Zhou Junyao tapped the table and said seriously,

Zhou Heng understood this perfectly well; as a leader, he held the lives of countless people and the future of countless families in his hands.

A single wrong decision can kill many people, so we must be extra cautious, have exceptionally strong mental fortitude, remain calm in the face of adversity, and consider the bigger picture...

"Okay, I know. So...which department am I interning in?"

Zhou Heng nodded. He had no intention of giving up. If he were to back down now, all his efforts over the past few years would have been in vain, and he would never achieve anything significant in the future...

He also wants to earn money himself, buy a big house, and move into their own home with Yin Mengran...

He doesn't plan to ask his family for a single penny. He has already received too much from them, and this opportunity is enough for him. He will work hard for the rest and earn his own money!

"Of course I'll intern here! The tasks you'll be handling are the same as mine!"

Zhou Junyao slapped the table and stared at Zhou Heng as he spoke.

"Ah...that's it."

Zhou Heng's lips twitched. He thought he was going to intern in some department... Turns out, he was intern in the president's office?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. I only have three years. If I want to take over Junheng in three years, I have to start learning how to be a CEO from day one.

"By the way, what about your secretary? It would be best if she interned with you, at the same pace, which would save a lot of trouble. You can start working together, and she can learn from my secretary."

"You probably already guessed who I would be looking for, right?" Zhou Heng glanced at Zhou Junyao and said softly.

Zhou Junyao smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Hmm, then tell Tang Zhi that if she's willing, she can come with you tomorrow."

"Okay, then today I..."

"Let's get your onboarding done first, um... Xiao Liang!"

Zhou Junyao called out to a door at the far end of the office, and Zhou Heng turned his gaze in that direction.

A man who looked to be in his thirties pushed open the door and walked in, then rushed to the two of them...

"Jay Chou..."

Zhou Junyao pointed to Zhou Heng and said, "Ah, this is my son. Take him to complete the onboarding process and make the necessary arrangements."

Zhou Heng quickly stood up and shook hands with the man: "Hello, my name is Zhou Heng, nice to meet you."

The man smiled, nodded, and said, "Hello, you're welcome. My name is Liang Yufeng, and I'm Mr. Zhou's secretary..."

"secretary?"

Zhou Heng paused for a moment, looked Liang Yufeng up and down, then released his grip and whispered in Zhou Junyao's ear:

"Male secretary?"

"Yeah, your mom won't let me hire a female secretary..."
