Cowardly Team Leader?

Nine Star Research Institute.

As soon as it was time for work, Tang Yu stepped into the research institute's gate almost right on time.

After successfully passing the last interview, today is my first day of work.

After making a trip to the HR department to complete the onboarding procedures.

The HR lady even kindly saw Tang Yu out and reminded her.

"Your Photovoltaic Group's office is the fourth room on the right at the end of the corridor. Feel free to come and ask me anytime if you have any questions, or we can add each other on WeChat."

"It's okay, I know the way."

Tang Yu smiled gratefully, pretending not to hear the other person's last sentence, and hurried towards his office.

When Tang Yu arrived at the office, she found the door open.

He walked to the door and glanced inside. The office was about 60 square meters and had all kinds of office equipment.

A girl was standing on tiptoe wiping the windowpane.

The girl was petite, looking to be only a little over 1.5 meters tall.

She was wearing a light green dress, and her legs, visible beneath the dress, were covered by white stockings.

She had long, straight black hair tied with a bow, and a cute little bear bag hanging from her waist.

From Tang Yu's perspective, you can just see her cute profile with its slightly chubby cheeks.

"A middle school student?"

Tang Yu paused for a moment, then walked in and asked, "Little sister, is this the office for the Photovoltaic Group?"

The main problem is that there wasn't a sign or anything hanging at the office entrance.

He was genuinely worried that he might have made a mistake.

"Ha?"

The girl turned around and looked at Tang Yu after hearing her call her "Tang Yu little sister".

Her innocent, naive eyes were full of doubt as she tilted her head and looked at Tang Yu with a frown.

"Little sister? Are you calling me?"

"Is that right...?"

After she turned around, Tang Yu realized that she might have made a mistake.

The main issue is that she... is quite well-developed? This doesn't fit the typical loli/flat-chested character archetype at all.

"You're the little sister."

A hint of anger flashed across the girl's delicate face, then she looked at Tang Yu and asked.

"Why are you asking if this is the solar energy office? Are you new to the Photovoltaic Group?"

"Yes, my name is Tang Yu, and today is my first day of work."

Tang Yu quickly took out her work ID.

The girl walked over and took a look, confirming that this guy was one of her subordinates.

Then she ran to her desk.

He opened the drawer, took out a work ID, waved it at Tang Yu, and puffed out his cheeks, feigning anger.

"First of all, I'm not some little sister. I'm Xie Jiujiu, the head of the Photovoltaic Group. You're new here, so you should call me Team Leader Xie, understand?"

"Okay, Team Leader Xie."

Tang Yu suppressed a smile and nodded; he hadn't expected his boss to be such a cutie.

It deliberately acts fierce, like a hamster trying to threaten humans, but it's completely intimidating.

The newcomer was very cooperative.

Xie Jiujiu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright then, you go sit down first, I'll finish wiping the glass."

"Okay, Team Leader Xie."

Tang Yu repeated herself like a broken record, then asked again, "Where do I work?"

Besides the laboratory equipment, the office also has eight desks.

"Choose whatever you like."

Xie Jiujiu made the arrangements with a wave of her hand, and her mood improved considerably.

This new guy keeps calling me team leader and asks me about everything.

This made her feel very pleased, giving her a sense of being respected as a leader.

While Tang Yu was tidying up her workstation, she took out her phone and opened the notes app.

There were more than thirty entries inside, all about how to be a leader.

"The most important quality for a leader is management ability."

"First and foremost, a clear reward mechanism is needed."

Secondly, one should not do everything personally; one should learn to delegate appropriately.

After glancing at it a few times, Xie Jiujiu felt a little annoyed; she had specifically found these things online.

But even after reading it many times, she still couldn't remember many of the points.

This was her first time being a leader. After being recruited to the research institute and learning that she could serve as a team leader, she immediately ran to tell her whole family.

Then, to celebrate her becoming a leader, her family bought her a big cake, and her grandmother also gave her a large red envelope.

"I need to maintain a good leadership image; I can't let this guy look down on me."

After muttering to himself twice...

After Xie Jiujiu opened the drawer, she found it filled with snacks.

She took out one of Al's despicable strawberry lollipops, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth.

A sweet taste spread through her mouth, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

[Hey, the shorty team leader is eating a lollipop?]

[He looks like a minor no matter how you look at him.]

Is she even an adult yet?

After a few sarcastic remarks suddenly came to my ear.

Xie Jiujiu suddenly raised her head, stared at Tang Yu with wide eyes, and asked with a fierce expression.

What did you say?

"Huh? What happened to me?"

Tang Yu was taken aback by her unexpected remark, and her voice unconsciously rose a little.

Xie Jiujiu instinctively revealed her cowardly nature, saying, "I... I'm sorry."

Then, realizing she had chickened out, her face flushed red, and she felt like disappearing into the ground.

It's because I'm afraid people will see through my cowardly nature.

She then deliberately pretended to be tough.

It's been said online that leaders have to be tough, otherwise they'll be bullied!

Oh dear, so he's just a little coward.

[Hilarious, is he deliberately trying to portray himself as a tough, intimidating leader?]

OK, OK, I'll cooperate.

Tang Yu, who instantly saw through everything, chuckled inwardly, knowing better than to say it.

Xie Jiujiu looked at Tang Yu with a shocked expression.

The little brain seemed to freeze instantly.

How could I hear his voice when he didn't move his mouth?

"Have I been hallucinating from staying up late lately, or is it just my imagination?"

After regaining her senses, Xie Jiujiu quickly ran to the bathroom to wash her face and clear her head.

"It must be a hallucination, Xie Jiujiu, wake up! If you keep acting confused, you won't be like a leader."

After patting my face in the mirror and giving myself a couple of words of encouragement, I...

Xie Jiujiu popped the lollipop into her mouth, strode back to the office, and waved her hand at Tang Yu.

"Little Tang, I have a task for you!"

"Boss, what's the task?"

Tang Yu quickly stood up and asked with a serious expression.

"Um... it's not too much trouble, just go get a ladder, I need to clean the windows, thank you for your help."

Seeing how serious Tang Yu was.

Xie Jiujiu felt a little embarrassed, as ordering people around like this made her feel guilty.

"Good job, boss!"

Tang Yu nodded and ran to find a ladder.

A few minutes later, Tang Yu ran into the office carrying a folding ladder, put it down, and asked, "Boss, is there anything else to arrange?"

"Just put the ladder by the window, I'll go up and clean the glass."

Xie Jiujiu, holding a freshly washed rag, gave the instructions.

Tang Yu eagerly grabbed the ladder, ran over, set it up, and asked, "Should I go up and wipe it?"

"No need, I can do it myself. Just hold the ladder steady for me."

Xie Jiujiu waved her hand.

If you can't even do this little thing.

Wouldn't that make this new junior colleague look down on him, the leader?

She grabbed a rag and climbed up the ladder, carefully positioned herself, and began wiping the windowpanes.

Tang Yu, who was standing below holding the ladder, looked up.

I saw a pair of panties covered in little strawberries.

[Oh... it seems the team leader really likes strawberries?]

[It is cute, but how should I put it...]

[I feel a sense of guilt.]

Tang Yu glanced at it twice and then looked away.

Xie Jiujiu, who was wiping the windows, heard the voice of her heart once again.

She stared wide-eyed at Tang Yu, when suddenly she felt a release in her chest, and two lumps of something fell out.

After the two objects fell to the ground.

Tang Yu glanced at them and realized they were two large breast pads.
