Today, she did not wear the traditional Japanese servant outfit + apron that she usually wore at Tanaka's house. Instead, she changed into a turtleneck sweater + work skirt. Her outfit was smart and her posture was dignified, perfectly completing the transformation from a personal secretary to a work secretary.
"Good morning, Miss Yoriko."
"The gentleman is waiting for you in the office. Please follow me."
Seeing that the two young faces were personally invited by Secretary Yiko, who had followed President Tanaka for decades, everyone started talking about it, which further confirmed the speculation that Bai Ye was a rich man.
Miss Yizi ignored the gazes of others and took the two of them straight to the office.
She had long ago resigned from her position as secretary at Tanaka Company and was now Tanaka-do's secretary. She didn't care what others thought of her.
"Sir, Mr. Xiao and Miss Kato are here."
Bai Ye walked in and looked around this "president's office". It was not much different from his father's office in his memory.
Spacious and elegant, it has everything you need including a desk, reception area, lounge, etc.
Tanakado stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, his body straight despite being in his sixties. Looking out from the 17th floor, he could almost see the entire city.
He turned his head, and the look in his eyes was sharp, a look Bai Ye had never seen when he was at Tanaka's house.
"What are you looking at, kid?"
"Nothing, it's my first time here, so I'm curious and looking around."
Miss Yiko waved to Kato Megumi to make tea with her and gave them space.
Bai Ye took a step forward and said before the other party could speak:
"I admit defeat. You asked me to come here for a day's work, but you didn't say for sure you'd hire me, so acting like a boss won't work on me. Well... I don't want to waste my time on intrigue. Just tell me how you want me to treat you."
Tanakado laughed. It was the first time he was spoken to like this by a young man here.
Was Bai Ye being rude?
Not in his opinion.
"Bet your future, kid, you do have the right to speak to me like this here."
Tanakado waved his hand, and most of the aura of his high position disappeared.
"Just like at the Tanaka family's house, I've had this shelf for decades and it's made my back ache. Yizi, make some tea and give me a shoulder massage."
Chapter 835: Opening a harem requires 10 small goals. Not enough? Double it!
Tanakado called Bai Ye to sit down in the reception area. Miss Yoriko and Kato Megumi had already prepared tea.
Bai Ye took off his suit, handed it to Xiaohui and asked her to hang it up, then loosened his tie.
"I would have said earlier that I wouldn't have come in a suit. I feel sorry for Xiaohui and she has to wear OL clothes. I don't think she's ready to wear OL clothes yet."
Bai Ye's words brought the atmosphere into a serious yet cheerful one as the few people got along at the Tanaka family's house, even in the tall buildings where everyone was busy making a living.
Miss Yizi stood behind Tanakado and massaged his back. After hearing what he said, she looked at Kato Megumi and said:
"Given Miss Kato's importance to Mr. Xiao, the office lady outfit is indeed the least appropriate. Miss Kato could be more confident, or have more trust in Mr. Xiao's abilities."
Kato Megumi's expression is not affected by praise or criticism, and her calm nature is her advantage in being Bai Ye's secretary, which no one else in the harem can match.
"Thank you Miss Yizi for your teachings. I hope Bai Yejun will not need them when he doesn't need them."
"Cough cough——" Bai Ye coughed repeatedly.
As soon as she returns to her normal routine, Xiaohui's mouth won't let you off...
Tanakado patted Miss Yiko's hand, and she stopped and sat next to him. The two were so close that they could almost touch each other.
"You made such a commotion the moment you arrived, kid! As soon as I left the conference room, I heard a man and a woman, two strangers, sitting in the reception area, looking completely at ease. I figured only someone like you could do something like that."
"Can you blame me?"
Bai Ye took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and reminded Kato Hui, "It's hot," and continued:
"You said you'd arrive before 9 o'clock, but I'm here and you're not here. So I have no choice but to sit in the reception area, right?"
"I don't know how to go to the pantry and interfere with my employees' work."
"There are no chairs in the tea room. What if Xiaohui gets tired?"
The two friends, regardless of age difference, chatted and bickered with each other like old friends, which made Kato Megumi and Yoriko, who were standing beside them, smile at each other.
"You haven't seen me since you got here, kid. Are you trying to make some noise to attract my attention, thinking this is a test or something like that?"
"Isn't it?" Bai Ye smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"I don't have the time. I told you I'm in a meeting, but you just can't calm down."
"If it's not, then it's not." Bai Ye shrugged indifferently.
Some words may seem confusing to others, but the other party can understand them, and you know them in your heart, so there is no need to expose them.
Bai Ye took another sip of tea, and this time the temperature was just right.
"Did something happen at Mr. Tanaka's company?"
Tanakado raised his eyebrows, straightened his face, and stopped his hand holding the teacup in mid-air.
"why would you say so?"
"Because you asked me to meet you at 9 o'clock. This isn't 'Tanaka's House', it's 'Tanaka Company'. Given your personality, your schedule should be packed so you can finish your work and go home with Miss Yoriko right away. But now it's late. The only explanation is that something unexpected happened. And the expression of fear on the face of your subordinates as they left the meeting room didn't lie."
clap clap-
Tanakado clapped his hands, no longer concealing the admiration in his eyes.
"As expected of you, kid! I firmly believe that you will achieve great things in the future!"
"Oh oh." Bai Ye's face was calm.
"Boy, are you still pretending?!"
"It won't cost you any money to let me pretend for a while."
“That’s hard to say.”
Tanakado drank the tea in the cup and looked at Miss Yoriko, who also had an admiring look on her face.
"Yiko, bring the documents over here."
"Which one?"
"The one that made me late."
Soon, Miss Yiko brought a document and placed it in front of Bai Ye at Tanakado's signal.
"what is this?"
"The autumn financial report of the Tanaka Company under your feet."
"So fast? I'm still waiting for customer feedback. You're truly a big company."
"Of course it's fast. How can it not be fast when doing such evil things? These bastards!"
Tanakado's face was filled with righteous indignation, as if he was about to smash the solid wooden table with one palm.
He took a few deep breaths, and finally calmed down a little after drinking the tea handed to him by Yizi.
"Kid, what do you think of this company? Just based on what you just saw, speak freely, no taboos!"
Bai Ye looked at the large gold-plated words "Tanaka Company" on the cover of the document without opening the financial report.
"I saw someone slacking off, but that's nothing. Everyone slacks off at work. If they don't, they'd be embarrassed to call themselves office workers. My daughter, Eriri, even dares to slack off right in front of me, so yours is nothing."
Bai Ye started the conversation by throwing out some ideas, and seeing that Tanakatang's expression remained unchanged, he continued to deepen the topic.
"But I see more people slacking off on the surface, but actually doing nothing. This is much more intriguing than simply slacking off. As the saying goes, if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beams will be crooked..."
Seeing Tanakado staring at him, Bai Ye explained slowly:
"I'm not referring to anyone in particular. You say you've achieved both fame and fortune, and are now retired and enjoying life. But what do others who haven't achieved both fame and fortune, those who are still chasing after them, or even those who have neither fame nor fortune, think? You should know better than me what they're thinking."
When it comes to work, fame and fortune are inseparable, and no one can escape this worldly desire.
Tanakado nodded. Of course he understood this obvious truth.
“Why don’t you open the financial report?”
"I'm just here for a day's work, and I might not even get paid. My sixth sense tells me this financial report is a Pandora's box."
The quarterly financial report can be checked from the official website of Tanaka Company without having to bother Tanaka-do.
"You guessed right, kid. This is the company's internal financial report. It's much more detailed than the official website."
"Is it really okay for you to let me see it?"
Only authorized shareholders or superiors can view internal financial reports because they contain company secrets.
"It's up to you whether you want to read it or not, but...Yiko, bring me the document."
Miss Yiko stopped peeling the apple and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.
"Sir, which one?"
"The one that brought trouble to this kid."
Ms. Yizi took out the documents from her briefcase and placed them in front of Bai Ye, saying:
"Mr. Xiao, please be sure to read this one."
Bai Ye couldn't figure out what was in the other party's gourd, so he could only open it and take a look.
Then his eyes widened.
This was a contract, a business contract he couldn't refuse.
"I heard you're thinking of earning ten small goals and then just living a life of idleness and waiting for death? To support your family's carefree dreams, double your small goals."
"Stop talking, I understand."
Bai Ye put down the contract and picked up Tanaka Company's autumn financial report.
“What’s wrong with the financial report?”
"Look for yourself." Tanakado ate an apple and leaned back comfortably in his chair. "Let me give you a hint. What are you working so hard for, kid?"
"Money, women, and dreams." Bai Ye answered without hesitation.
"I've already signed the contract. If you can solve the problems in the financial report, sign your name. If you can't solve them, burn the contract and never set foot in the Tanaka family again."
Chapter 836 I want milk for afternoon tea!
As soon as Bai Ye opened the autumn financial report and saw the dense data, he immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap. He picked it up and weighed it, and found that things were worse than he had imagined.
"Hey, hey, this isn't a day's work."
Seeing that he fell into the trap, Tanakatang smiled triumphantly.
"Kid, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Even a discounted lunch might give you a stomach ache. If you put in half the effort, do you think you could possibly have those girls?"
Miss Yiko peeled another apple, cut it into small pieces suitable for eating, and put it on a plate for Bai Ye.
"Mr. Xiao, please."
Bai Ye chewed the apple with a crunching sound, gritting his teeth.
"Ms. Yizi, you were the one who handed the dates. You've been cleaning up old man Tanaka's ass for a long time. It's really hard for you."
Tanakado groaned, obviously unhappy about being called old.
At this time, Kato Megumi spoke:
"Mr. Tanaka, based on my limited experience, you probably want Bai Yejun to handle this matter, but if you want to achieve perfection, wouldn't it be better to have more time?"
Tanakado did not respond directly, but looked at Bai Ye.
"Someone is willing to play the bad guy. You're pretty lucky, kid."
"That's it!" Bai Ye proudly took Kato Megumi's hand.
"I'm not asking you to show off." Tanakado also quietly took Miss Yiko's hand.
Bai Ye glanced sideways.
"Don't waste time. Whether you're talking about big things or small things, just give me a precise answer."
Tanakado put away his smile and his eyes revealed the majesty of a president.
"In half a month, if you need any resources, go to Yizi and discuss it. I will definitely help you within the scope of my permission. Also, kid, your birthday is next Saturday, right?"
