Chapter 1328: Chapter 1327: Seizing the Opportunity Chapter 1328: Chapter 1327: Seizing the Opportunity Lin Lin knocked and entered the room just as Zhou Shengting was buried in documents.

He thought it was his assistant Yang coming in, so he did not look up.

Lin Lin hugged the files in her arms, feeling very apprehensive and nervous, unsure of what Zhou would think when he saw her.

She pursed her lips, then walked over on tiptoe.

She stood still in front of the desk, quietly, without making a sound.

After a while, Zhou Shengting felt it strange why there was no sound.

So he looked up and saw a pink figure standing not far away from him; Zhou Shengting frowned slightly, “Is there something you need?”

He actually disliked someone watching him like this, finding it quite uncomfortable.

“Zhou… President Zhou, there are some documents for you to review,” Lin Lin said, and handed over the files in her hands.

Zhou Shengting nodded indifferently, then took the documents.

Lin Lin pursed her lips again, gathered her courage, and said, “President Zhou, let me accompany you to tonight’s social event.”

Lin Lin watched Zhou Shengting’s reaction after speaking.

Lin Lin had learned just yesterday about an important social engagement Zhou Shengting had tonight. As his secretary, it was only natural she’d know her boss’s schedule.

So she made great efforts to come here today, all to secure a chance to accompany Zhou Shengting to the event.

In the company, it was difficult to get close to him, and circumstances were not appropriate, but going out was different–it presented endless possibilities.

Zhou Shengting, upon hearing her words, paused for a moment, then said, “Assistant Yang will be accompanying me.”

Zhou Shengting typically liked to keep social engagements simple and hassle-free.

He disliked bringing a female secretary along; first, it would lead to teasing from others, and second, it was troublesome; there was always drinking involved, and crude jokes were common. With a woman present, it just felt uncomfortable.

“President Zhou, Assistant Yang’s mother’s birthday is today, so he might have to go home for dinner after work.” Lin Lin had really thrown caution to the wind for this opportunity, doing her homework well.

When she knew of this chance, she had internally cheered, thinking it was heaven-sent.

She had also hinted to Assistant Yang that she could accompany Zhou to the event, but he did not make any commitments.

So she had no choice but to start from Zhou’s end.

After speaking, Lin Lin nervously watched Zhou Shengting’s reaction.

After a moment, Zhou Shengting furrowed his brow slightly; if it was his mother’s birthday, then the dutiful thing would be to stay at home for a meal.

He was not such an unreasonable boss, after all.

Tonight’s social event was with President Zhang, who was quite dignified, so he decided to let Secretary Lin go.

Mainly, he needed a secretary to help him organize contracts and record some matters.

Finally, Zhou Shengting nodded, “Alright then, organize the material for the event and coordinate the handover with Assistant Yang.”

Hearing this, Lin Lin was overjoyed, delighted that things had gone so smoothly, unfolding just as she had hoped.

Lin Lin hurriedly replied, “Okay, President Zhou, I’ll leave now.”

Zhou Shengting nodded.

Lin Lin made a victorious gesture as she left the room.

She found Assistant Yang, explained the situation to him, and he looked surprised; didn’t President Zhou dislike taking female secretaries out?

He had previously made his stance clear to clients who teased him, saying he disliked it.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Lin asked, seeing him stand there stunned.

“It’s nothing, if it’s President Zhou’s order, then I’ll hand over the documents to you,” Assistant Yang did not think any further.

“Mm-hmm, now you can go home earlier, and I get to see the world–it’s a win-win,” Lin Lin said cheerfully.
