Because I simply love you

Chapter 56: A newbie

"I will personally go and meet her."

Now Assistant Xin was surprised, "Sir...you?"

"I can't?"

"No no that's not what I meant. Of course sir you can.", he quickly said. The CEO himself going to the kitchen quarterswhat breaking news it would be, he thought.

In the kitchen.

Right now Nana was the only one in the left kitchen. The canteen was divided into two big areas and each had its own kitchen in the back.

Bo and Zhemin were in the right-hand side's kitchen. Some staff was with them and some in the inventory.

Jinhai, like a dignified and noble king, entered the canteen leaving all the poor employees happily eating spit out their food.

Silence. Their biggest boss had come. How could anybody even utter a word? They held their breaths.

Assistant Xin sighed. This was bound to happen.

Liu Jinhai stopped and turned around.

He asked in a low voice, "Why did everybody stop eating?"

There was such a pin drop silence that even his low voice could be clearly heard by everybody.

All were dumbfounded. They cried internally. Like hell they can act like nothing happened when the big CEO himself comes in the canteen! Your presence is too much to just ignore. Boss, have mercy on us!

He raised his eyebrow which indicated he was waiting for an answer.

Everybody gulped. Somebody! Anybody! Go forward and answer him.

It was like everybody gained a special power to talk to each other telepathically. Truly the need for an hour can invoke anything.

What if he gets angry? I will be fired. I love my job okay?

If nobody answers then we'll all get fired okay!?

In the end, a young newbie bravely stood up. Poor guy. He was just hired a month ago. Everybody silently gave him a thumbs upand condolences as well.

"Sir. It's nothing. We were just s-surprised to see you here."

"I can't come here?"

He furrowed his brows. Why did even his assistant ask like it was a big deal? He didn't understand.

Everybody started sweating invisibly.

In the end, the new employee just gave an honest answer. "No, sir. It's just thatyou are the CEO and you eat in your own private lounge area. So we are not used to s-see you here. Liu Corps is the number one in the whole of China. It's a natural reaction to be dumbfounded when the biggest boss like you come where all the hundreds of staff eat. That's all.", and he bowed.

Everyone else was speechless. Who told you to give such a straight forward answer? You should have buttered him up. Now you are dead!

Jinhai stared at him.

The youth cried. Goodbye, my hard-earned job!

"What is your name?", he asked.

"Sir. My name is Han Ru."

He then turned to Assistant Xin, "Take Han Ru under you. Shift his office to the top floor."

"Yes, sir."

Jinhai left.

The reactions of each and everyone was priceless. What just happened? Wasn't he supposed to get fired?

Han Ru still didn't understand. He asked, "UmSorry but why under you Assistant Xin?"

He smiled, "You impressed the big boss. Not only with your courage to face him but also by telling him the truth. So young man, he has promoted you. You will be working under me and after you have learned everything you will be directly reporting to our Boss."

Han Ru didn't have any words to say. He felt so emotional. He wanted to cry. Being the assistant to the CEO is the highest promotion one can ever get. And don't even bother to ask about the salary. He had lost his parents at a young age and he has two younger sisters and one brother. It would take such a big load off him for their education fees. He can also afford a decent house now. He cannot ask for anything more.

"Thank you so much, Sir. You cannot understand how much this means to me." He bowed deeply with tears threatening to fall.

"You have deserved it. Now go pack your things and come to the top floor. Your desk will be ready."

"Yes, sir."

He left leaving everyone else stunned.

What just happened was like a slap to everybody's faces. A newbie got the chance to be the CEO's assistant? Even if you work for a lifetime you cannot get a chance like this!

Why didn't I answer the boss? It would have been me instead of him. Everybody regretted that they let go of such a golden opportunity himself walking up to them.

Jinhai finally entered the kitchen completely unaware of the chaos he caused in all of his employee's minds. There he found Nana immersed in her job.

She heard someone coming and thought it must be either Bo or Zhemin.

"Ah. Can you please dice the mushrooms and pass it to me here?"

Jinhai was confused and looked at the mushrooms lying on the kitchen table.

He frowned. He had never cut vegetables or anything before. But nevertheless, he took the knife and stood in front of it.

???

He had no idea what or how to do the next part.
