Chapter 2177: The Good Man Liu Yiming

"Assistant Liu is here."

"Secretary Liu, here on business?"

"Brother Liu, why are you here?"

Liu Yiming led Yan An toward the headquarters building of Future Group.

As they walked, people kept greeting him.

After all, he was Zhao Fusheng's secretary, and it was often he who dealt with various departments on Zhao Fusheng's behalf, so naturally everyone knew him.

Liu Yiming smiled and greeted everyone as they entered the elevator.

"Brother Yiming, you know so many people," Yan An said with genuine admiration.

Along the way, she had clearly noticed that all these people knew Liu Yiming, and he knew them all in return.

If it were her, she definitely couldn't do that.

Liu Yiming smiled. "When you've been around long enough and dealt with them often, you naturally get to know them."

Then he said to Yan An, "When you start working, it'll be the same. When you meet many people, you must remember their faces. You never know when you'll meet again, and it might come in handy, understand?"

"I'll remember."

Yan An nodded. She naturally understood that Liu Yiming was telling the truth.

Although she had never experienced workplace life, from what she knew, if she wanted to get ahead, this was the most basic requirement.

Yan An was very pretty, but she didn't want to rely on her looks to get ahead someday.

She preferred to rely on her own hard work.

"By the way, they call you Secretary Liu. Are you a secretary here?" Yan An suddenly remembered something and asked Liu Yiming.

Liu Yiming nodded. "My boss is the chairman of this company."

"Ah?"

Yan An was stunned.

Liu Yiming smiled but said nothing more.

The elevator stopped, and Liu Yiming walked straight out.

"Wait for me here."

He led Yan An to his office and said to her.

Yan An nodded, already shocked by the luxuriously decorated office.

This was a secretary's office?

She felt that even the boss's office she had interviewed in after graduating from college wasn't as nicely decorated as Liu Yiming's secretary office.

Just then, Yan An's phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID; it was Wang Xue.

She answered the call.

"Bai, want to have dinner together tonight?"

Wang Xue's voice came from the other end.

"Let me ask Brother Yiming first," Yan An thought for a moment and said to Wang Xue. "I'm accompanying him to his company to pick up some things; we haven't gone to his place yet."

"I see." Wang Xue was clearly a bit surprised, then nodded. "Okay, let me know after you've decided."

The two were classmates, with years of friendship, and had come to the capital together to seek their fortunes, so they naturally wouldn't hold a grudge over the earlier incident.

Or perhaps, being still young, they didn't have so many complicated thoughts.

This might be a common trait among all fresh graduates.

To them, everything in the world seemed beautiful, even if countless people told them that human hearts were treacherous.

They themselves would think it was just others' alarmism.

Only when they were battered by reality did they understand that life truly wasn't just about romance, but also blood and tears.

Maybe with one careless move, you could lose many important things, and when you wanted to get them back, you found yourself powerless because you had walked too far and too fast, unable to turn back.

...

...

Liu Yiming soon returned, but with a large stack of documents in his hands.

"What's this?"

Yan An was startled.

"Oh, nothing. I need to read them when I get back," Liu Yiming explained.

This was the truth. Others only saw him thriving beside Zhao Fusheng, but they had no idea that the more successful he seemed, the harder he worked, because privately, he had too much work to do.

"Let me help you carry them."

Yan An, being sensible, took the documents from Liu Yiming's hands.

The two left the office building.

As they went downstairs, Yan An mentioned that Wang Xue had invited her to dinner.

Liu Yiming thought for a moment and nodded. "No problem, we'll go together then."

Since the chairman had given him a couple of days off, accompanying Yan An for a meal wasn't a big deal.

Sitting in the car, Liu Yiming said to Old Ma, "Brother Ma, you'll have to take a taxi back later. Leave the car with me."

"Okay."

Old Ma had no objections. Zhao Fusheng had already called him and told him to follow Liu Yiming's arrangements, so he was happy to oblige.

Yan An looked at the two curiously but said nothing.

In her mind, however, she kept wondering what was going on.

That Liu Yiming had a good job in the capital was known to people back in their hometown, but what exactly he did was unclear to everyone.

Many had always thought that the most successful member of the Liu family was Liu Yan, who was now an entertainer in the entertainment industry.

But oddly enough, whenever others praised Liu Yan, Liu Yiming's parents would wave their hands and say, "That girl is just lucky. If not for her brother's help, how could she have made a foothold in the capital?"

At first, Yan An thought this meant Liu Yiming helped Liu Yan find a place to live in the capital.

But now, she suddenly realized that the true meaning behind Liu Yiming's parents' words might be exactly what she was thinking.

It turned out that the most successful member of the Liu family in the capital had never been Liu Yan, but Liu Yiming.

...

...

"Life in the capital isn't easy. When you start working, you must remember," Liu Yiming said to Yan An.

"If possible, try to live near your workplace."

After all, she was a fellow townsman, and his mother had asked him to take good care of her, so he had to say what needed to be said and give the necessary advice.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Yiming."

Yan An quickly nodded.

She wasn't stupid. What Liu Yiming said must be his hard-earned experience from years in the capital.

After all, he had been in the capital much longer than she had.

Moreover, he had already reached the point of driving a Mercedes, which was certainly better than those internet folks who could only afford instant noodles.

But Yan An was even more curious about which company Liu Yiming worked for.

Thinking this, she hesitated but then gritted her teeth and asked Liu Yiming, "Brother Yiming, which company do you work for?"

Liu Yiming laughed. "What, want to join our company?"

Ah?

This time, it was Yan An's turn to be stunned.
