EXTRA 1.2: The Tyrannical President’s Hard Working Supervisor.

Xiao YuAn didn’t feel like reading his paperwork, so he pulled Hong Xiu and asked: “Where are your brother and sister?”

Hong Xiu replied: “They’re studying in college. My younger brother is a freshman, while my younger sister is about to graduate.”

President Xiao then said: “Ask her if she would like to come to the company for an internship!”

Hong Xiu was slightly stunned, but then she smiled and replied: “Alright. I’ll ask her.”

Xiao YuAn suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said: “Hong Xiu, do you know a man named Yan HeQing?”

Hong Xiu felt some kind of familiarity with that name, but she couldn’t recall where she had heard it, so she simply shook her head and said: “No, I don’t know.”

Xiao YuAn’s face showed disappointment and frustration. Then he added: “If you hear of him one day, remember to inform me immediately.”

“Alright.” Hong Xiu agreed, and continued to dutifully report the work to Xiao YuAn: “Mr. Xiao, this is the Marketing Department’s expense application for the year. It has just been reviewed by the Supervision Department, so please take a look at it.”

Even though he had suddenly returned to the modern era, Xiao YuAn had been a CEO for a long time in his previous life, so of course he felt familiar with the nature of this work. Although he didn’t know what this company was about, he still should understand a bit. As he picked up the file given by Hong Xiu, he flipped through the contents, when suddenly, his eyes fell on the name signed on a form: “Who’s this? Where is this? What’s his work?!”

Hong Xiu took a look, and replied: “Ah, Yang LiuAn. He seems to be a Supervisor in the Supervision Department. Mr. Xiao, you-…. Mr. Xiao, where are you going?”

…

Early in the morning, the peaceful and comfortable Supervision Department was filled with the aroma of fried dough sticks, steamed buns, leek cakes and egg pancakes.

The balding Director of the Supervision Department was holding a cup of hot tea with a dazzling fragrance. As he blew on the cup, he felt satisfied with the fact that he was really at the prime of his life.

Suddenly, the screen of his phone lit up and the tune ‘love is like a blue sky with no clouds, when suddenly, a storm appears and you have nowhere to hide1’ started to sound.

The Director of the Supervision Department took his time to raise the cup, slipped his tea, and picked up the phone.

Then he spurted out the mouthful of tea he just took: “Oh my god! Why is Mr. Xiao coming all of a sudden?!!”

As soon as the Director of the Supervision Department finished speaking, everyone in the Supervision Department froze for a second, then they hurried to tidy up their desktops. For a moment, documents were flying all over the place, showing quite a spectacular scene.

Once Xiao YuAn arrived at the Supervision Department, he saw that everyone was working hard with their heads bowed. The ground and the cubicles were clean on the surface, the air smelled of freshener. The bald Director stood straight, and with proper speech, he said: “I welcome Boss to inspect our work!”

Xiao YuAn politely refused the request of the Director of the Supervision Department, who enthusiastically offered to make a work report, and said: “It’s alright, I’ll just look around. You can keep working as usual.”

Then, he really looked around casually.

Xiao YuAn walked through the desks, stopped all of a sudden, and smiled.

Just now, when everyone in the Supervision Department was frantically tidying up their workstations, Yang LiuAn wasn’t affected. After all, he had never put anything that wasn’t work related on his desk. Since today was a busy day, and since he had never taken a rest since he arrived early in the morning, he didn’t notice when someone suddenly stood beside him.

The Director, who followed Xiao YuAn all the way, stared at him, and then coughed a few times.

However, Yang LiuAn didn’t move.

At this, the Director of the Supervision Department felt so anxious that he began to sweat, and then proceeded to cough as if he had tuberculosis.

Yang LiuAn kept devoutly working.

The Director decided to step forward and said: “Ah, Xiao-Yang, your desk is so clean.”

Yang LiuAn, who had his head buried in work, took a long time to reply: “Yes, thank you Director for the compliment.”

The Director of the Supervision Department was crying inside: ‘I’m begging you to raise your head! Mr. Xiao came down to inspect us! And you dare to ignore him?! I’m even willing to go three days without eating meat in exchange for you to look up!’

Then, Yang LiuAn finally raised his head to hand over the document to the Director: “Director, I’ve finished reviewing this, remember to sign it. Ah! Mr. Xiao?!”

Xiao YuAn smiled and said: “Comrade Yang, you’re hard working. Is the work usually this hard?!”

Yang LiuAn stood up all of a sudden and said: “The work isn’t hard!”

Xiao YuAn patted him on the shoulder and walked away with a smile on his face.

The Director of the Supervision Department cried and said to Yang LiuAn: “Why didn’t you raise your head earlier? Now I won’t be able to eat meat for three whole days.”

Although the Director was crying, completely heartbroken to the point of moving other people, Yang LiuAn didn’t understand what was the relation between him raising his head earlier and the Director being unable to eat meat for a few days.

As the Director of the Supervision Department touched his balding head, he sat back in his seat and chewed on his egg pancake as he touched his belly.

10 minutes later, the Director of the Human Resources received another call: “What?! Another salary rise? Who’s getting a rise this time? Yang LiuAn from the Supervision Department?! Who is this? Oh, a Supervisor. How much is the rise this time? What?!! Fucking triple rise again?! What? Mr. Xiao asked for it again? Tch tsk, why can’t it be raised? If you have money, you can do whatever you want. Raise it, raise it, raise it!!!”
