My Online Girlfriend Has a Twin Sister

Pei Youwen spoke at a measured, unhurried pace. He clearly articulated all the key points of which she should be aware. As the former chairman’s secretary, he knew just how difficult the job was.

The role demanded not only a person of exceptionally high caliber, but also a strong capacity for learning and a high degree of professional emotional intelligence. He didn’t have high expectations for Jiangg Ning, but he wouldn’t underestimate her, either.

In any case, this was the secretary Chen Yuan had personally chosen.

That fact alone was enough. Pei Youwen had been worrying every day about how to convince Chen Yuan, so for things to have progressed this far was a pleasant surprise.

"I have outlined the main duties. As for the more specific details, our Chairman Jiang will personally guide you. I trust that after a brief adjustment period, you will become familiar with the role and perform your duties well, Ms. Jiangg."

"I understand." Jiangg Ning couldn’t help but lift her gaze to glance at Chen Yuan.

She quickly looked away.

It was perfectly normal for a chairman to personally guide a new secretary to help them get up to speed. For this particular office couple, however, the notion carried a certain ambiguous, romantic connotation.

Jiangg Ning did her best to shake the strange ideas from her head. ’The scene of them sitting at a desk, him hugging her and holding her hand as she signed documents, would just be too weird.’

RUSTLE, RUSTLE—

The sound of shuffling papers subsided.

Pei Youwen passed another document to her and said flatly, "Also, this outlines your salary and compensation, Ms. Jiangg, along with the company’s benefits, policies on overtime and vacation, and so on. Please look it over."

Only talking about responsibilities without mentioning compensation is a scumbag move to any employee.

Jiangg Ning might have been well-off and not short on cash, but she was curious what kind of salary could be offered by an investment company under Mrs. Jiang—a name always known for its wealth and power. What was it that attracted so many people they were beating down the doors to get in?

She opened the file and examined it carefully.

"Monthly salary of 473,000. Year-end bonus tied to the company’s overall performance. Housing and living expense reimbursement allowance... Vacation benefits, stock options, restricted stock units, discounted stock purchase plan... and the salary increases with seniority."

"That’s correct, Ms. Jiangg. Our company has always subscribed to a ’management community’ governance model. To incentivize us to contribute more to the company, the salary and benefits packages are unique to each executive position. I believe the compensation is quite generous."

Jiangg Ning’s expression remained neutral, but inwardly, she was quite surprised.

From what she knew of other companies, Bauhinia Company’s year-end bonus percentage was likely the highest in the industry. All told, she would be earning a salary of at least 6.5 million a year.

That was more than ten times her salary as a professor at Landa University.

If this wasn’t the definition of rich and powerful, she didn’t know what was.

Jiangg Ning had money, but it was all in savings. If she were to buy the house she was currently living in in Lanjing, it wouldn’t break her, but it would definitely sting. With this job, however, she could consider buying it outright this year.

Life could change so quickly. Just a few days ago, she was worrying about how to break into a new industry, and now, in the blink of an eye, she was a high-level executive with an annual salary in the millions.

Jiangg Ning subtly glanced over at Chen Yuan, who was resting his chin on his hand. In response, Chen Yuan gave her a little wink.

"If you’re not satisfied with the salary, Ms. Jiangg, we can actually raise it," he said suddenly.

"? COUGH, COUGH, COUGH—" Pei Youwen, who had just taken a sip of water, nearly choked.

"?" Mo Nana shot her chairman a very strange look.

"...This is the compensation package we negotiated with the board. It’s already very generous, Chairman," the deputy head of the finance department said cautiously.

"No, no, no, that’s not what I meant," Jiangg Ning said, quickly waving her hands.

Right then, she had a strong urge to reach over and pinch the soft flesh at Chen Yuan’s waist. ’His favoritism is a little too blatant,’ she fumed internally. ’Even the chairman isn’t allowed to just throw away the company’s money!’

"If you’re satisfied, then hurry up and sign." Chen Yuan proactively placed a pen on the document, looking at Ningning with earnest eyes.

Her brow furrowed slightly as she looked down and picked up the pen.

’Once I sign my name, Chen Yuan and I will no longer just be boyfriend and girlfriend. I’m afraid our lives are about to get a lot more entangled.’

Yet this was exactly what Chen Yuan wanted.

He would use every method at his disposal to tie Ningning firmly to his side.

SCRATCH, SCRATCH—

Jiangg Ning held the pen, meticulously writing her name with neat, clean strokes. She turned a page and signed the second time, and then the third.

She continued until she had signed everything in both copies of the agreement.

Chen Yuan hastily grabbed one copy and scanned it. He then asked Pei Youwen for the company seal and stamped the document with a sharp THUD, as if he were afraid Jiangg Ning might change her mind.

"Excellent! Congratulations to Secretary Jiangg on becoming a member of our big Bauhinia Company family. A very warm welcome!" Mo Nana was the first to applaud.

The others quickly followed suit, and the room instantly filled with unending applause.

"Thank you, everyone. I look forward to growing with you all. Please, I’ll be relying on your guidance. Thank you..."

A smile blossomed on Jiangg Ning’s face as she stood and gave a slight bow to everyone.

In the spotless conference room, sunlight streamed through the open curtains. Of the dozen or so people present, Chen Yuan, seated at the head of the table, was smiling the most radiantly of all—a warm, harmless smile.

No one could have guessed it was the mischievous grin of someone whose scheme had just succeeded.

...

DING—

The elevator arrived at the top-floor office suite.

Chen Yuan was in an exceptionally good mood, his steps light and quick. He felt like he was walking on air.

He stepped out of the elevator first, then turned his head to look at a slightly shy Jiangg Ning, who was following behind him.

"Why didn’t you let me give you a raise back there? It’s not like the money comes only from me; the board covers a large portion of it."

"I don’t want any special treatment. It’s better to follow the standard procedure so people don’t start talking. Besides, I’m already very happy with this salary," Jiangg Ning said, pressing her lips together. "It’s already ten times what I made teaching at Landa University."
