After struggling to get off work, Xiao Zheng had already brainstormed to the point where even the sweeping lady might hide bombs in the trash can, as if Xinao was a base where terrorists were active, and everything was there.
Patting his dizzy head, Xiao Zheng muttered as he went downstairs: "If I keep thinking like this, I will go crazy."
After returning to the locker room and changing into casual clothes, Xiao Zheng sent Lan Xin a text message: "Are you off work?"
Then he slowly greeted his colleagues and left the Empire State Building.
As soon as they arrived at the main entrance, Lan Xin's text message came: "I'll wait for you at the intersection opposite the building."
Xiao Zheng determined the address and sneaked across the sidewalk to search for Lan Xin's car.
He didn't blame Blue Heart for waiting for him across the street instead of in the parking lot of the Empire State Building. Although they took a few extra steps, their date was kept secret to a large extent. Otherwise, with ENN's thousands of employees, the probability of bumping into the two of them having a tryst in the parking lot is too high. It really doesn't fit in with Brother Azheng's wish to climb up to ENN's management through his own efforts.
Finding Lan Xin's car parked at the intersection, Xiao Zheng knocked on the car window, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Beauty, can you give me a ride?"
Lan Xin's intellectual and gentle beautiful face peeked out from the car window, and said angrily: "Is this how you usually strike up conversations with girls?"
As Director Lan who was in a relationship with Brother Azheng, although she still felt uneasy about gains and losses, it did not prevent her from criticizing Xiao Zheng's slightly frivolous behavior and Meng Lang.
"Then it all depends on your appearance." Xiao Zheng said with a half-smile while lying on the window. "After all, beauties of Director Lan's level and pearls are still very rare."
"Glib tongue." Lan Xin pretended to accuse her, but her beautiful eyes were filled with unconcealable joy and happiness. Being praised by your little lover, even if it is just a compliment, is enough to make any woman feel elated and unable to control herself.
Xiao Zheng got into the car, put on his seat belt, and said with a smile: "You can choose whatever you want to eat tonight. I will be a rich man today."
Lan Xin smiled slightly and said softly: "Just have something to eat. Don't spend too much."
Xiao Zheng said with a straight face: "You look down on me?"
"No—" Lan Xin's pretty face tightened slightly and she said in panic. "That's not what I meant, I just-"
"I'm just kidding you, don't be so nervous." Xiao Zheng said with a bad smile.
Lan Xin suddenly felt relaxed and rolled her eyes at Xiao Zheng, showing off her charm.
But speaking of it, Lan Xin was really worried that Xiao Zheng would have unnecessary inferiority complex due to the identity gap between the two parties. In fact, in her heart, it was a great blessing that Xiao Zheng could accept her. Why do you care about the financial gap between the two? But she has worked for many years and has seen all kinds of men. She clearly understands that many men's self-esteem is far more fragile and sensitive than women. In this era of rapid development, wealth is the element that best reflects a man's strength. Judging from Xiao Zheng's income, the possibility of him developing an inferiority complex financially is too great.
Of course, Lan Xin analyzed Xiao Zheng based on the psychology of an ordinary male, but she didn't know how many shocking and thrilling events Brother Azheng had experienced over the years. I have already seen through the essence of life, and regard enjoyment as the biggest principle of life, rather than comparison. Even the tens of millions in remuneration earned by taking lives abroad, he could transfer them all to the old dean's name without even frowning. The realm is so high that it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Lan Xin is indeed rich and beautiful. Most ordinary or outstanding men might have the mentality of trying to reach high. But Brother Azheng didn't have any negative emotions. Not to mention having an inferiority complex as Lan Xin thought. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to show off in front of Lin Huayin when they first met.
The place where the two ate was a decent Western restaurant. Except for the steak, which was well cooked, other aspects were only average in the international metropolis of Pearl. The cost of a meal was only five or six hundred, which was Lan Xin's final decision for Xiao Zheng's pocket.
Because it was not a weekend or a prime time for dining, there were not many customers in the restaurant. The two of them waited for less than a quarter of an hour before the dishes were served one after another. When Xiao Zheng saw that there were only drinks and cold soup on the table, he took the initiative and asked for a bottle of reasonably high-quality red wine, successfully making the dinner consumption exceed one thousand yuan.
"Eat quickly. You probably didn't eat much at noon, right?" Xiao Zheng poured red wine for Lan Xin himself and said with concern.
Lan Xin cut a small piece of steak and sent it to Hong Lip, and said with half emotion and half complaint: "You have just come to Xinao, and you are not very clear about Mr. Lin's work style. Once there are any big changes in Xinao, she will summon all department leaders Go to a private room in a restaurant for a meeting. It can take at least an hour or as long as an afternoon. Not to mention eating, I don't even dare to drink water."
"So perverted?" Xiao Zheng said dumbfounded. "Aren't you just watching a large table of delicious food without daring to eat it, and are you hungry to discuss important matters with Mr. Lin?"
"That's basically it." Lan Xin nodded slightly and then explained. "But Mr. Lin also has her own plans for doing this."
"What's the plan? Starve you down to skin and bones so that you can't pose a threat to her in terms of appearance?" Xiao Zhengyi said angrily. "Too vicious!"
Although Xiao Zheng's words were full of resentment and quite petty, Lan Xin was extremely helpful. Her heart felt even warmer, and she said softly: "Mr. Lin also accompanied us when we were hungry. She did this not to target anyone, but to let the company's employees know that if the problem cannot be solved, their jobs will be affected. In order to keep colleagues alert at all times and treat any possible threats with caution. This can be regarded as ENN’s management culture.”
"It's so profound." Xiao Zheng swallowed a mouthful of steak, drank another sip of red wine to rinse his mouth, and then asked slowly and sincerely. "Xiao Lanlan, are you really unwilling to tell me what happened in the company? Maybe I can still give you some advice."
Little blue
Listening to Xiao Zheng's ambiguous and childish name, Lan Xin's delicate body trembled slightly, and a seductive blush appeared on her pretty snow-white face. She bit her lip and said, "I am already twenty-five years old, and you are so Even if you scream, you are not afraid of making others laugh..."
"Who dares to laugh?" Xiao Zhengyi said seriously. "See if I don't cut him."
Lan Xin's eyes flashed, and she finally decided not to hide anything anymore, and revealed the entire contents of the meeting.
From Lan Xin's point of view, the two have just fallen in love. If she hides everything from Xiao Zheng, it will inevitably make people unhappy, and this is not Lan Xin's original intention. What's more, she didn't want to hide anything from Xiao Zheng and was willing to share everything about herself with Xiao Zheng. Whether you are happy or unhappy.
After a little wording, Lan Xin said slowly:
"There may be huge personnel changes in Xinao this time. Mr. Lin summoned us to quickly formulate a comprehensive response strategy to prevent it from affecting the company's normal operations."
Xiao Zheng pretended to be surprised and said: "Is this a plan for large-scale layoffs?"
"The specific route cannot be determined yet, but President Han's resignation is likely to take away some key members. At that time, this group of confidants of President Han's faction will also incite company employees from point to point, triggering large-scale resignations." Lan Xin said with a troubled expression. Obviously, as a veteran senior executive of Xinao, she is also very upset about this matter and hopes to get over the difficulty as soon as possible. But judging from the current situation, wanting to survive the sadness safely may be just an idiot's dream, and it is difficult to truly realize it.
Seeing that what Lan Xin said coincided with his previous guess, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but said with relief: "You don't have to worry too much. With Mr. Lin's methods, I believe this crisis can be settled easily."
"I also believe in Mr. Lin's ability. But I'm just curious as to why Mr. Lin dismissed Mr. Han at this juncture. From Mr. Lin's perspective, she wouldn't know that the most important thing for Xinao right now is stability. Rather than large-scale cleaning." Lan Xin said helplessly.
She didn't understand Lin Huayin's intention, but Xiao Zheng knew it clearly, but from a certain perspective, he was also puzzled by Lin Huayin's impulsive behavior. It is impossible for this iceberg woman to rise quickly in the Pearl business world, so she has no determination and authority, right? Could it be that her love for me is terminally ill and incurable? Can't you tolerate even the most capable subordinate saying a few words about me
Alas, what method should I use to cover up my terrifying personality charm? It’s such a headache.
