Selling One's Own Body

The box contained the latest RedPlum 14 smartphone from Shengshi Group, priced at 9,999 yuan. Many people couldn't get their hands on it.

Yun Qingqing felt her face burning.

Could Sheng Ting be hinting at something inappropriate by giving her such an expensive phone? Although she needed this job, she had her boundaries. She could sell her labor, but she would never sell her body.

Placing the phone on the coffee table, Yun Qingqing blushed and was about to speak when Sheng Ting beat her to it.

"Secretary Yun, when can you submit a thousand-word probation report to me?"

Her beautiful eyes widened, and Yun Qingqing thought she might have misheard.

"CEO, what do you mean?"

"This is the company's new product. Is there a problem with providing a thousand-word report after trying it out?"

"No, no problem."

“Good."

Staring at the box in her hands, Yun Qingqing felt something was amiss, but she couldn't put it into words.

The man's tone turned cold. "Is there anything else?"

"No, nothing."

With the RedPlum 14 in her hand and her lunchbox, Yun Qingqing quickly left the CEO's office.

As she washed her lunchbox, she frowned.

Sheng Ting was her savior, and he knew her phone had been stolen. However, he didn't directly give her a new phone but asked her to try it out and write a thousand-word report. He was simply assigning her a job, completely different from what she had thought.

The more she analyzed it, the more impressed she was by Sheng Ting. He didn't resort to inappropriate actions, nor did he directly give her a phone. There was simply no room for her to refuse. It was decent, incredibly decent. No wonder Sheng Ting had become the ultimate winner and secured the position of CEO.

After washing her lunchbox, Yun Qingqing transferred her newly issued card to the RedPlum 14.

She hadn't expected to accidentally catch up with the latest trend. She was determined to write that one-thousand-word probation report carefully.

After downloading her frequently used apps and testing them, Yun Qingqing could only say three words: worth every penny. But she was here to work, not chilling on her phone.

She quickly arrived at the secretary's office and politely asked Zhao Congrong, "Do you need any documents for me to organize?"

After a cold rejection from Zhao Congrong, who then left the office, Yun Qingqing took a deep breath, her expression complex.

There were a total of six secretaries in the office, all women. However, Yun Qingqing had only interacted with Zhao Congrong before. Since Zhao Congrong didn't assign her any work, she had to ask the other five secretaries.

But she hadn't even approached them when they either went to fetch water or to the restroom, completely avoiding her. It was so obvious that something was wrong.

Now only she and Secretary Ma, who was sitting in the corner, remained in the secretary's office.

Approaching Secretary Ma, Yun Qingqing couldn't see her face because she not only lowered her head but also used her hair to cover it.

Yun Qingqing thought Secretary Ma might be her breakthrough. She softly asked, "Secretary Ma, do you have any documents that need to be organized?"

Without lifting her head and speaking very quietly, Secretary Ma replied, "No."

Yun Qingqing smiled and said, "If you have any, please bring them to me when you're ready."

But as soon as she took a step forward, she heard Secretary Ma say, "We won't have any documents for you to organize."

Stunned, Yun Qingqing turned to look at Secretary Ma. "Can you tell me why?"

Previously, Zhao Congrong had given her plenty of documents to organize.

Shaking her head lightly, Secretary Ma spoke with the same quiet tone, "I don't know, maybe you can ask the CEO."

"Alright, thank you, Secretary Ma."

As Yun Qingqing left, she pondered the previous incident with Zhao Congrong, who had collected the files she was supposed to organize while crying. Secretary Ma's recent words made things clearer.

This was related to Sheng Ting.

Back at her workstation, Yun Qingqing looked troubled. She wanted to ask directly, but she was afraid of upsetting Sheng Ting and losing her job.

While worrying, she had two cups of water. Just then, the office door opened, and Xu Lin walked out.

Yun Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she smiled sweetly. "Assistant Xu, I have something to ask for your advice."

Without a word, Xu Lin took a few steps back, maintaining a distance of at least two meters from Yun Qingqing.

Others might not know, but Xu Lin knew very well that the office entrance had just been upgraded with the latest surveillance cameras. They provided the CEO with a clear view and excellent audio.

Xu Lin's forced smile looked even more awkward than crying. "Secretary Yun, you don't need to be so polite. Just say what you want."

Yun Qingqing lowered her voice. "Assistant Xu, here's the thing. Earlier, Secretary Zhao used to give me documents to organize, but now none of the secretaries are assigning me any work."

Xu Lin: "…"

Not just the secretaries, I wouldn't dare to assign you work either!

After gritting her teeth, Yun Qingqing took another step forward and adopted a determined posture. "Assistant Xu, I suspect this has something to do with the CEO. Do you think I can ask him directly?"

Xu Lin quickly retreated several meters. "I don't know, Secretary Yun. I have some urgent matters to do. I have to go."

Without giving Yun Qingqing a chance to speak, Xu Lin hurried away.

Judging from Xu Lin's reaction, Yun Qingqing was certain that this was related to Sheng Ting.

Summoning all her courage, she knocked on the door to the CEO's office.

After receiving permission, she entered and stood straight in front of Sheng Ting's desk, without any preamble.

"CEO, did you instruct the secretaries not to assign any work to me?"

"Yes."

Yun Qingqing swallowed hard, finding Sheng Ting to be a straightforward man.

"CEO, can you tell me the reason?"

Looking up at Yun Qingqing, Sheng Ting's voice was clear and cold. "You are my secretary, and only I can assign you tasks."

Yun Qingqing: "…"

That sounded perfectly logical, with no room for debate.

After a moment, Yun Qingqing respectfully asked, "CEO, what should I do next?"

In a dispassionate tone, the man said, "Have you finished the one-thousand-word probation report?"

"No, not yet."

"Then why are you still standing here?"

She quickly left and sat at her desk, on her phone very diligently.

While others might sneakily play with their phones during work, her job was to on her phone. If she didn't, CEO Sheng might get upset.

It wasn't until later, just before quitting time, that Manager Wang from the marketing department rushed into the CEO's office.

Without greeting Yun Qingqing, Manager Wang threw a file heavily onto her desk. Then, she angrily scolded her.

"Secretary Yun, how could you not check the document before giving it to the CEO for his signature? If you had checked it, you wouldn't have missed such an obvious mistake. When Secretary Zhao was here, she always checked documents carefully before letting the CEO sign them. If you can't handle this job, you should resign!"

Yun Qingqing, baffled by the scolding, happened to receive a phone call from the police station. They informed her that they had results regarding the kidney accident.
