Secretary Fang Keeps Trying to Overstep

◎ [Marriage First, Love Later | An Old Flame Rekindled]

The day Fang Jian returned to the country, her mother handed her a photo of a man she wanted her to meet. He was handsome, but too proper and too mature. He wasn't her type: she liked wicked, bad-boy types.

Her mother strongly recommended him. "Don't you always say men should behave themselves? He's twenty-eight and has never had a girlfriend."

Fang Jian's sunglasses slipped down, revealing her big, pretty eyes. "How old?"

Her mother: "Twenty-eight."

Fang Jian pushed her sunglasses back up. "Mom, I'm afraid of the dark."

Her mother: "What do you mean?"

Fang Jian: "Don't keep turning the lights off on me, old man."

[Note: The original uses a homophone for an insulting term meaning an old geezer.]

Her mother angrily slapped the table. "He's only twenty-eight! How is that old?!"

Fang Jian tossed her wavy hair. "He's six whole years older than me. Sorry, he's not good enough for me."

She stood up to leave, then stopped halfway and turned back with a smile. "This guy from the Zhou family may not have a girlfriend, but he definitely has a boyfriend."

Zhou Ci had been so busy lately that he was at his wits' end, trying to put out rumors.

The gossip was spreading through their circle: he was gay.

In a fit of anger, Zhou Ci got married to his blind date on a whim, to prove them wrong.

One day after the wedding, Zhou Ci saw the search history in his browser:

[How can a beard marriage partner file for divorce?]

[How can a beard marriage partner divide the assets?]

[How can a beard marriage partner leave her gay husband with nothing?]

Zhou Ci closed the browser with a blank expression.

It looked like he needed to find something for his idle wife to do all day.

The company hired a new secretary who was completely at odds with the big boss.

When the boss pointed east, she went west. When he said two, she insisted it was one.

Everyone gathered around to watch, waiting for the troublemaking Secretary Fang to get fired.

Finally, one day, Boss Zhou slammed his hand on the table in anger. "Fang Jian, are you trying to defy your superior?"

Secretary Fang smiled. "Wasn't last night obvious enough?"

Six months later, Secretary Fang, who had defied her superior, still hadn't been fired. She was pregnant and strolled around the office every day.

According to someone in the know, Boss Zhou almost got down on his knees in front of her. "Please, I beg you, my dear ancestor, go home and take care of the baby!"
