Why Is Secretary He So Clueless?

【Super-Oblivious Bottom VS Carefree, Crybaby Young CEO】Mutually devoted 【Younger top / melodrama / love rivals / flamboyant trust-fund heir】 He Xu had spent three years working at the Xie Group headquarters and hoped to become the chairman’s secretary after two more. He never expected to be transferred to the side of the new Young Mr. Xie. He was instantly exhausted, as if all his progress had been wiped away. If the Xie Group didn’t offer such generous benefits, he would have quit already. Quite a few coworkers looked at He Xu with pity, thinking he ought to burn some pomelo leaves to dispel his bad luck. Who didn’t know that Xie Yuhuai was the youngest son of Chairman Xie, spoiled beyond reason and impossible for anyone to control? He’d even wanted to break into show business and become a star. In the end, his family dragged him into the Xie Group. As long as he stayed, they’d be happy to stick him in a flowerpot. What could you do? If you took someone’s money, you had to do what they said. He Xu had to teach him everything bit by bit. Young Mr. Xie didn’t know a thing and was utterly clueless about managing a company. The Xie family didn’t want him growing up useless, either. So He Xu had to explain many things over and over again. Xie Yuhuai listened to He Xu explain the company’s business plan, but didn’t take in a single word. Every so often, he glanced at He Xu’s mouth, wondering what it would be like to kiss him. Would he be good at kissing? Those were the only questions on his mind. Who had time to listen to some business plan? He’d heard all this stuff before, anyway. Besides, the plans had absolutely nothing original about them. He Xu sometimes found Xie Yuhuai quite strange. Xie Yuhuai would occasionally touch his own lips for no apparent reason. He Xu had no idea what he was up to. Was he making fun of He Xu’s canker sore? When He Xu read documents, Xie Yuhuai would silently stand behind him, then point out the parts he thought were problematic right by his ear. He’d even blow into He Xu’s ear, making it itch. Was he picking a fight for no reason? During meetings, Xie Yuhuai always seemed to accidentally brush his leg against He Xu’s. His dress shoe would graze He Xu’s trouser leg, leaving a bit of dust behind. If He Xu noticed, he’d immediately say, “Sorry. It’s a little cramped here.” He Xu got promoted from secretary to personal secretary. He really wanted to know: did being a personal secretary mean you had to live at your boss’s house? And in the same bed? When He Xu questioned him, Xie Yuhuai put on a serious face and said with displeasure, “Isn’t that what a personal secretary does? Otherwise, why call it personal? Secretary He, you’ve been at this for ages. You don’t even know something this basic? You’re not doing your job properly.” “Pay more attention to work, not that boyfriend of yours.” His tone was downright cutting. As soon as he turned away, his eyes were already red. Knowing the person he liked had a boyfriend made him want to cry. He Xu’s mouth twitched. “...” He’d been broken up for ages! Ages! And Xie Yuhuai had been the one who brought it about. So why was he acting like the tragic hero in some romance now? Later, Xie Yuhuai took the words “personal secretary” to heart. He pulled He Xu close and nipped at his ear. The more aggrieved he felt, the harder he bit. “Secretary He, do you think your ex-boyfriend ever came here?” “Am I the only one who gets to come here? Am I a hundred times better than your ex? Can I make you happier?” He Xu: ...So annoying. He’s getting jealous over nothing again. After his family arranged for Xie Yuhuai to join the Xie Group, he saw He Xu and his eyes lit up. Damn it! How had he not known He Xu worked here? All day long, he thought about how to kiss He Xu, sleep with him, and make him fall in love. He realized He Xu was a block of wood, and it drove him crazy. Seriously! Couldn’t He Xu tell that he liked him? Then he found out He Xu had a boyfriend. He was so furious at home that the entire Xie family watched him rage helplessly. They thought he’d given up on becoming an actor and taken up rap instead. They were used to it by now. Xie Yuhuai: “The person I love belongs by my side. No one else loves him enough. He was meant to fall in love with me, but some jerk misled him. I’m just helping him see what a rotten person he really is.” Reader’s guide: bittersweet yearning and romantic tension; younger green-tea top with a secret crush, playing dumb to catch his prey. He cries a lot around his family. Coming next: 【Frosty, Adorable Beta Everyone Loves VS Arrogant, Top-Tier Alpha】 Glitchy NPC VS Stubborn Tsundere Everyone knows that Beta is synonymous with ordinary people. Betas have no pheromones and are less perceptive, making them easy to overlook on the planet of Kaerke. Li Zhuo awakened to the truth: he was a background Beta in an old-school explicit novel, with barely any information about him. The book was about a group of top-tier Alpha heirs at an elite academy, who toyed with a delicate, soft Omega in every way before forcibly claiming him. It was an extremely melodramatic one-versus-many setup. Li Zhuo didn’t really understand the premise. He had no idea what Alpha, Beta, or Omega meant. He knew nothing about any of that. All he knew were sine, cosine, and tangent. Every day, he watched these Alpha heirs and the poor Omega go through all kinds of melodramatic twists and turns, like a trashy prime-time soap. His presence was so insignificant that hardly anyone ever noticed him. Life was dull, and people-watching was the only entertainment. Maybe he’d laughed too much, because his life started getting strange. “Li Zhuo, I like you. I know you’re a Beta, but you always smile when you see me. Doesn’t that prove you like me?” A bashful Omega stood before Li Zhuo, speaking with a blissful smile, already dreaming of the wonderful life they’d share. Li Zhuo took a long moment to react, then gave a rueful smile. “Actually, I don’t like Omegas.” He’d barely turned someone down when, two days later, another person came along. “Li Zhuo, I like you. I know you don’t like Omegas. Luckily, I’m an Alpha, so I can make you feel safe.” That didn’t seem right, either... After a long pause, Li Zhuo said, “Actually, I... don’t think I like Alphas, either.” His smile turned even more pained. More and more people fell for Li Zhuo. They all wanted to get close to him and stay by his side, no matter what their status was. But he didn’t want any of this. Couldn’t he just live in peace as a Beta? The commotion around Li Zhuo caught the attention of quite a few top-tier Alpha heirs. Petty little dramas like this were beneath them. But one man at the head of the group saw Li Zhuo, his gaze shifting as a smile unconsciously curved his lips. Li Zhuo had no interest in all these confessions. Then a top-tier Alpha approached him, looking down at him with an arrogant air. “I can be your cover and get rid of these annoying little pests for you.” Li Zhuo asked, “What’s the price?” There was no way dealing with these Alpha heirs would be that simple. This man seemed to be one of the main characters. Rejecting him would be tantamount to offending the whole group, and Li Zhuo wouldn’t come out of that unscathed. The top-tier Alpha looked at Li Zhuo coldly. “You’ll have to please me.” Then, in his usual arrogant tone, he added, “Don’t worry. I’d never fall for an ordinary-looking Beta.” Li Zhuo didn’t really understand this guy’s way of thinking, but since it didn’t hurt him, his life did become a lot more peaceful. Later, Li Zhuo got out of a bed with silky-smooth sheets and threw a pillow at the top-tier Alpha’s face. “Were you after me from the start?” His neck was covered in hickeys, and his aching waist barely let him sit up. “Of course. The first time I saw you, I was already imagining this day.” He picked up the pillow from the floor. “Looks like you’ve still got some energy. I must not have satisfied you.” He shook his head, walked over to Li Zhuo, and said in a languid, carefree voice, “I knew you couldn’t go a moment without me.” Shen Jingque was accustomed to being on top. In his eyes, Betas, Omegas, and even low-ranking Alphas were all inferior. But the moment he saw Li Zhuo, he caught the scent everyone else called pheromones, a fragrance unlike anything he’d ever smelled. Just being near Li Zhuo made the scent feel like a seduction. But how could someone as arrogant as him fall for a Beta? The very thought was laughable. As more and more pests gathered around Li Zhuo, Shen Jingque had to admit he was a tiny bit jealous. But it was nothing serious. He had met Li Zhuo long, long ago. As a background character, Li Zhuo sometimes glitched, skipping through frames, with no awareness of his own, endlessly repeating the same actions. Shen Jingque didn’t like this world, either. They were all set in place by design. But when he saw Li Zhuo’s clear, bright eyes and that intoxicating scent, his glitches became less frequent. Something seemed to have changed.
