1 Our New Miss Seemed Like A Robot

"M-m-mi-miss, are you alright?", asked a man in a neat business suit.

This man is Assistant Li Cheng, and he is currently in a dilemma, as the Miss sitting in front of him started bawling her eyes out after she heard the news he brought.

He was only supposed to inform this miss about her mother's secret wedding with his boss, and then bring her to meet them for dinner. But it seems the Miss has taken it too hard.

This Miss is called Yan Rumei. She is the only child of Lu Anqing, their new Madam.

On his way here, he did expect that the Miss would have some reaction.

Maybe, she will be happy for her mother for finally finding someone to fall in love with again even with her age. As they were told, Madam lost her husband in a car accident when Miss was only 5 years old. Since then, Madam, as a responsible single mother, worked very hard until Miss had finished university.

Maybe, she will also feel a little sad because someone has snatched her mother and will share her love and attention.

You know, he really expected those usual feelings people feel when someone in their family is going to marry.

He also thought that the Miss would feel some anticipation and excitement to meet his boss.

His boss, Master Gu Feng, the CEO who owns 95% of Gu Corporation, is one of the biggest business moguls in Country M. He owns thousands of stores not only in the country, but also overseas. He has businesses in pharmaceutical, automotive, telecommunications, food, retail, and even the entertainment industry.

One can say he's a big shot among big shots.

But why does Miss look like she is being bullied right now? Why is she crying to the point where snot is all over her face and her office table?

Yes, they are currently at Yan Rumei's workplace. She is currently working as an Accounting Manager at this small bookkeeping company. Good thing she has her own small office, otherwise people would be seeing her snot and tears contaminating everything.

-Knock knock knock-

"Miss Yan, is everything alright in there?" a female employee asked in a worried and muffled voice.

Assistant Li Cheng anxiously turned his head towards the door. He immediately turned back to soothe Yan Rumei, "Mi-miss, you have to calm down. People will think I did something bad to you!"

Yan Rumei closed her mouth so that her voice wouldn't come out. She wore an aggrieved look on her face and tried to sniff her snot back. Once… Twice…

"Ah ah ah…" Assistant Li Cheng couldn't bear to look at Yan Rumei, he swiftly drew out a few sheets of tissue from Yan Rumei's side table and handed them to her. But Yan Rumei did not reach out, her hands were just clutching at her own blouse.

Assistant Li Cheng is at a loss on what to do. Why is their new Miss acting like a child? In the end, he gave up and held the tissue on Yan Rumei's nose and then he said, "Mi-miss, blow your nose…"

-Hrrrooongk-

As soon as Yan Rumei did that, the door to her office suddenly opened. The female co-worker who called out earlier looked over and witnessed the man in a neat business suit helping her blow her nose.

Yan Rumei and Assistant Li Cheng stared at the female co-worker.

The female co-worker stared at them.

There was just silence for a good half a minute.

"I-I'm a-alright... S-s-orry... I-I'll come out in a h-h-ha-half an hour to talk to President Si." Yan Rumei finally broke the silence, but still struggled to utter her response due to her broken voice caused by her heavy crying earlier.

The female employee looked at Assistant Li Cheng suspiciously until she resigned and slowly closed back the door.

Sigh... [I did not sign up for this.] Assistant Li Cheng thought to himself.

Yan Rumei finally made a move. She took the tissue Assistant Li Cheng was holding and blew her nose more. She also drew out more tissue to clean up the snot and tears on her face.

"Sit down and wait for me." she instructed as she pointed at a chair beside the door.

She took more tissues to wipe the mess she made on her table and then she took out a small disinfectant bottle from her drawer. She sprayed it on her table and wiped it again with a clean tissue.

Her face is still scrunched up. It's obvious that she's still trying to calm herself down.

But... why? Is she that disappointed and against her mother's late marriage with his boss?

Seeing that the Miss is still trying to pacify her emotions, Assistant Li Cheng did not have any courage to ask or speak of anything else, so he just sat there quietly.

After Yan Rumei finished cleaning herself and her table, Li Cheng thought that they were now ready to go, so he was about to stand up when he saw that the Miss brought out a foot high stack of papers.

[Wait... Aren't we going?] he asked himself. Of course, he still didn't have any courage to speak.

As if Yan Rumei knew what he was thinking, she said, "I have to finish this today. Be good. Sit down and wait."

As soon as she said that, her face turned serious and she started to sort the stack of papers.

Li Cheng is just crying inside now.

Why did it feel like he is a kid who is trying to bother his working mother?

Their Miss was just crying herself out just a second ago, but now she is looking all serious and even reprimanded him.

After about 10 minutes, Yan Rumei finished sorting the stack of papers.

Li Cheng finally heaved a sigh of relief and stood up. He patted his suit to even the wrinkles.

He was about to take a step but to his surprise, their Miss took a few sheets of papers that she put aside earlier when she was sorting. She put them on what seemed like a sheet music stand beside her old computer monitor.

She typed something on her keyboard. It seemed like she was unlocking her computer.

[No... You're kidding me. She's still not done?!]

"M-miss..." Li Cheng just uttered a word but then, "Shhhhh!" Yan Rumei immediately shushed him silly.

The hopeless man had his words stuck in his throat. He wanted to continue talking but all one could see was his mouth opening and slightly closing and opening and slightly closing again. In the end, he closed his mouth and sat down.

Then...

-Takatakatakatakatak-

-Takatakatakatakatak-

-Takatakatakatakatak-

Li Cheng's eyes widened, and his jaw dropped one more time.

All he can hear are the sounds of the keys being tapped nonstop.

In front of him is the Miss just sitting straight.

The only part of her body you can see moving are her hands and her eyeballs, which are only moving vice versa from left (her monitor) to right (the sheets on the stand).

This took about a minute.

The Miss then took one sheet from the stand, put it down, stamped it, and then there she continued again with the rest. Her hands back on the keyboard, and her eyes on the monitor and sheets.

Li Cheng has never seen someone work like this. Not even the employees in any of his boss' business finance departments.

Their Miss seemed like a... robot when she is working.
