At 5:30, Chen Xu took the car keys and prepared to pick up Luo Xiyun. Before leaving, he went to the office and said to Secretary Jin who was reading the materials, "You can just get off work in a while, I want to go out."
She looked up and asked, "Do you need me to drive?"
"No need." Chen Xu said.
"Okay, boss, please go slowly." Secretary Jin stood up.
Chen Xu left the office, thinking in his heart, having such a secretary is really very comfortable, but the salary is too high, and he really can't afford it now.
He drove Luo Xiyun's Porsche to the Wanhua company building, parked the car, and walked into the building.
It has been almost half a year since I left the company, and the last time I came here was when I met Luo Xiyun.
This time, it can be regarded as revisiting the old place, and his heart is not at peace.
In less than half a year, he went from an ordinary salaryman with a monthly salary of less than 10,000 yuan to now owning two noodle restaurants with a monthly income of nearly 100,000 yuan. He even became a couple with Luo Xiyun.
These changes seem to happen naturally.
However, looking back half a year ago, for him at that time, there were many things that he didn't dare to think about.
With emotion in his heart, the elevator arrived. He walked in, and everything remained the same as it was half a year ago. Even the elevator buttons on the stairs where his company was located were the same as before.
After a while, the elevator door opened.
He stepped out of the elevator, greeted the front desk, and walked towards the electronics sales department.
"Chen Xu?"
As soon as he entered, he was seen by a colleague from before, who yelled, and everyone else looked over.
"Really. Why are you here? Nonsense, you must have come to pick up Mr. Luo."...
All of a sudden, the whole office was buzzing with people greeting and joking with him.
"Hi everyone." Chen Xu waved to them. The office area of the department has expanded again, and there are more people than before, and many unfamiliar faces can be seen.
At this moment, the door of the office opened, and Luo Xiyun came out.
Almost like a conditioned reflex, everyone in the department fell silent, and those who were standing also sat down.
"You're here." Luo Xiyun went straight to Chen Xu, took his hand in front of everyone, and said, "Let's go."
"Goodbye, everyone."
Under many complicated gazes, Chen Xu waved his hand and left with Luo Xiyun.
As soon as the two left, there was another noisy sound in the office.
They walked all the way downstairs, and after getting into the car, Chen Xu asked, "What time does the banquet start tonight?"
"It starts at eight o'clock, but we are going to pass now. Liu Kun is not here, so I have to watch on the spot to avoid any mistakes."
Chen Xu wondered, "Where did Liu Kun go at a time like this?"
"There's something wrong with his parents, and he's going to deal with it."
"Oh, no wonder Liu Yumeng seemed in a bad mood in the morning."
Chen Xu suddenly said, started the car, and said, "Then, let me take you there, which hotel are you in?"
Luo Xiyun reported the name of the hotel.
Half an hour later, the two arrived.
Secretary Guo was busy holding this banquet. Only if she couldn't decide, would she come to ask Luo Xiyun for instructions, in fact, she didn't need to do anything.
Chen Xu was always by her side, and the two of them stayed in the room the whole time. He saw the way she was used to, and he had a clearer understanding of the working style of the leaders of large companies.
Then, he remembered the negotiation in the afternoon. In fact, it was Secretary Jin who was talking about it. Whether it was negotiation skills or the ability to collect intelligence, he couldn't match her in flattery.
Therefore, entrusting professional things to professional people will be more efficient and effective.
If he had come to negotiate with Jinyun Group in the afternoon, it would definitely not have such a result.
So, as a leader, is it just a matter of sitting there and making decisions? The subordinates are more educated and capable than you, so why should they obey your orders
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him now to have a subordinate like Secretary Jin, it is purely because of Luo Xiyun's favor.
This also made him couldn't help thinking, what should be done to cultivate a talent like Secretary Jin? In other words, how far should his career go in order to attract someone like Secretary Jin to join
Broader prospects, bigger stage...
As he thought about it, he fell into a trance.
"Chen Xu, the banquet is about to begin."
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Xiyun's words brought him back from his thoughts.
"Oh, all right, you can go. Wait later" Chen Xu responded subconsciously, and when he raised his head, he suddenly stopped her.
Luo Xiyun stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xu pointed to the royal blue backless dress on her body, and asked, "Is this what you're going to wear?"
"That's right, what's the problem?" Luo Xiyun wondered, looking at the clothes on her body.
"Of course there is a problem." Chen Xu's expression was very serious, "Besides, it's a big problem. It's too revealing, most of the back is exposed, isn't the problem big enough?"
"Ah?" Luo Xiyun was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the question he was talking about was actually this. Immediately, I couldn't laugh or cry, "This is an evening dress. Of course it is designed like this."
Chen Xu said resolutely, "I don't care what kind of dress, in short, it's not okay to wear it like this. Change it."
"It's too late to change now, the banquet is about to start." Luo Xiyun glanced at the time and said.
Chen Xu thought for a while, saw the suit on the sofa, picked it up, put it on her body, covered her back, and said, "That's all. Don't take it off, do you hear me?"
"Got it, cheapskate." Luo Xiyun said softly, leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, and then saw a lip mark on his face, remembered that he had just put on lipstick, and didn't remind him , waved his hand and left the room.
Chen Xu didn't follow to the banquet, firstly, he didn't like such occasions, and secondly, he wasn't ready yet. It's one thing to be in front of people in the company, but another thing to face higher-level occasions.
So, he stayed alone in the room, holding his mobile phone, and read the physical e-book he had just downloaded.
Time flew by, and before I knew it, it was already nine o'clock.
thump thump...
When Chen Xu was deep in thought about a passage in the book, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" He asked, but didn't hear a response, got up and walked over, opened the door, there was no one outside, only a note was left on the ground.
mischief
He picked up the note on the ground, closed the door, flipped through the note, "Meet me in Room 702 of xx Hotel, I have something to tell you." It was signed by Yang Jinxia.
When he saw the name behind him, the blood in his whole body seemed to freeze, and he froze there.
...
On the other side, in the banquet hall, Luo Xiyun was chatting with several important business partners when Secretary Guo suddenly stepped forward and whispered to her, "I just received an anonymous call, and I think I should tell you."
Luo Xiyun remained calm, and apologized to the person next to him. As Secretary Guo walked to the corner, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Secretary Guo looked a little confused, and said, "It's about Chen Xu, say he..."
"What did you say?" Seeing her hesitating, Luo Xiyun knew that something was wrong and asked.
"The man said that he and his ex-girlfriend were broken, and they were still having a tryst in private."
Luo Xiyun frowned and asked, "Who is calling?"
Secretary Guo said, "It's a man. He doesn't sound very old, but he didn't say his name, and he doesn't know his identity."
"I see." Luo Xiyun could guess who did it, and in a flash of thought, he looked back at the hall and said, "Just keep an eye here, and I'll go back to the room."
"Okay." Secretary Guo replied.
Luo Xiyun left the banquet hall and walked towards the room.
When she returned to the door of the room and was about to knock, she paused, clenched her fists, swallowed her saliva, and then knocked twice on the door.
Then her heart was beating wildly.
One second, two seconds...
The door opened from the inside, it was Chen Xu.
Her tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
"What are you doing standing at the door, come in." Seeing that she was standing still, Chen Xu asked her, "What's wrong with you?"
She walked in and said, "Nothing."
"No, there must be something wrong." Chen Xu pulled her, sat on the sofa, and asked, "Did you receive any strange message?"
Luo Xiyun knew she couldn't hide it from him, and said, "Just now, someone made an anonymous phone call."
"I knew it." Chen Xu said amusedly, "Just now, after you left, someone stuffed a note under the door."
She fully understood that someone wanted to provoke the relationship between them, but she couldn't help asking, "Where's the note?"
"I tore it up and it's in the trash."
"Sorry."
"No need to apologize, it's too late for me to be happy. Prove that you are really nervous about me. If you don't care at all, I will worry instead."
