Chapter 490: The boss is back
Chi Lian successfully made her rounds, visiting her parents and distributing gifts to them. Even her little cousins on her mothers’ side of the family received gifts which madam An and her husband would distribute to them later. From there she left for work, the short vacation was over. She did take all three children with her to the work, Rose especially had to go with her because she was more clingy than Mei-Mei.
With her very first appearance downstairs, texts and phone calls were immediately exchanged with everyone spreading the word that the boss was back. All the employees that were secretly lazing around, sleeping in the editing rooms, or gossiping in the cafeteria hurried to return to their desks. It was not that they were lazy, they just didn’t want to leave a bad impression on her.
"Welcome back boss." Chi Lian heard everywhere she passed.
"Boss the little princess is looking cute."
"The little master has grown taller boss."
To every comment she responded positively and also said thanked them, they were wise enough not to comment on Rose whose identity was unknown to them. While she was gone Bear employed another secretary for her since Shuli’s work load was quite big. When she arrived on the very last floor both secretaries stood up and welcomed her back.
"Thank you, is anyone waiting for me inside?"
"No boss," Shuli replied, "We would never allow anyone inside your office when you are not around. Manager Bear also had a finger and password lock installed on to ensure that no one could sneak in when one of us is not around. This is the password." She handed Chi Lian a sealed envelope.
Chi Lian took it but she used her fingerprints instead. "Is Wenli here?"
"Yes boss." Shuli followed Chi Lian inside with a notepad and a pen in her hands ready to take down any instructions.
"Send her to my office, tell the manager of the magazine that I need to see her too. Bring some fresh healthy snacks to the office or the children. Send someone to look for a stationary close by and buy some middle school textbooks for children between the age of twelve to thirteen. Prioritize English textbooks, I need every subject."
