There was a loud thunder in Xu Xinghe's head, and he stammered and said to Ling Changfeng: "You, you... have you asked Fang Zhou for leave for me?"
"En." Ling Changfeng nodded, looked at the wonderful expressions on Xu Xinghe's face with great interest, and then asked calmly: "Is there any question?"
Xu Xinghe thought to himself: "There are too many questions!"
His lips trembled, and for a moment he didn't know where to ask, so he poured out all the questions in one go: "When did you ask for leave for me? How did you ask for it? Who did you ask for it? Or did you ask for sick leave? Personal leave? Did you take the initiative to call, or did you pick up their call? You didn't just say that I overslept, did you?"
Ling Changfeng stood where he was, listening to his questions in a leisurely manner, and then replied one by one: "After nine o'clock this morning, I asked Qin Yuan to ask for leave for you. As for who you asked for and what kind of leave..." His long eyes slanted, "Is it important?"
"Of course it's important!" Xu Xinghe said heartbroken, "If you take personal leave, your bonus will be deducted! It will also affect my winning the outstanding employee award at the end of the year!"
Ling Changfeng: "..."
Slight surprise and confusion flashed in the different pupils, Xu Xinghe saw it, and his heart ached even more.
Obviously, Marshal Ling, who has been in a high position for a long time, doesn't understand the sufferings of ordinary social animals like them.
Ling Changfeng was silent for a while, and said, "Then I'll ask Qin Yuan. But don't worry, he has always been considerate in his work, and there should be no situation where your bonus will be deducted."
"Uh... Thank you." Xu Xinghe touched his nose, suddenly realizing that his tone just now seemed a little anxious. After all, as an excellent Ark employee who never missed a day of attendance throughout last year, this was the first time he overslept on a working day, so he was a little flustered, guilty, and a bit novel.
"I don't mean to blame you, anyway, thank you for asking for leave for me... Otherwise, being absent for half a day without an excuse will be directly counted as absenteeism, and the problem will be more serious..." Xu Xinghe stared at a small corner of the room, his tone involuntarily Weakened by three points.
Ling Changfeng quickly confirmed the leave details with Qin Yuan via email, and then raised his eyes to Xu Xinghe and said, "Qin Yuan said, he just called your Director Wang and said to help you ask for leave, but he didn't say anything else. .Your person in charge didn’t ask any questions, and just replied, “I got it.” As for the bonus issue, he told you not to worry. Your person in charge probably didn’t—” Ling Changfeng looked at the screen, “I won’t come I thought it was a bit impolite to say this, so I changed it to: "It's not so rigid."
Xu Xinghe: "???"
Team leader Xu had just calmed down, when he heard the words, he exploded again: "Ah, didn't I say last time, don't harass our Director Wang for such small problems of asking for leave in the future! He is very busy all day long!"
Wang Yunze, the current general manager of Ark, is a top expert in the field of artificial intelligence. He also served as the vice president of Capital University for more than 20 years. He is a person Xu Xinghe admires and admires very much. Even some of Xu Xinghe's college textbooks were edited by Director Wang.
Hearing what he said, Ling Changfeng couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly: "How can he manage everything every day?"
Xu Xinghe puffed his cheeks and said, "What do you think! He manages a data center as big as the Ark, and also conducts scientific research. Usually, even if the person in charge of our department calls him, he still needs to make an appointment in advance!"
Ling Changfeng glanced at him: "I usually need to make an appointment in advance for all calls."
Then I thought about it, "You may not be able to make an appointment at the level of your director."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He didn't want to talk to Ling Changfeng at all.
It's a pity that the stalemate lasted for less than three seconds, and my stomach let out a loud noise.
"Gululu—"
It is especially noticeable in a quiet room.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
An imperceptible smile flashed in the different pupils, and Ling Changfeng said leisurely: "Okay, let's go eat first."
Xu Xinghe walked towards the restaurant with a dull head.
Ling Changfeng followed behind him with his hands behind his back, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, there was another call from you after nine o'clock in the morning."
"Huh?" Xu Xinghe looked back at him, suddenly becoming vigilant.
Ling Changfeng continued: "Your left hand was pressing on my chest at the time, and I accidentally answered the call when I moved."
Xu Xinghe stopped abruptly, he had no time to worry about why his hand was on Ling Changfeng's chest, so he quickly clicked on his call log.
Sure enough, in the "Incoming Calls Connected", I saw the name of Liang Shilei, the head of their technical department.
Xu Xinghe turned his head stiffly, and asked Ling Changfeng: "Liang, Mr. Liang, what did he say on the phone? No... what did you tell him?!"
Ling Changfeng replied very patiently: "As soon as I answered the call, he asked where you were. I said you wanted to ask for leave, but there was no sound over there, and then I hung up the phone."
After all, he commented solemnly: "This call happened three minutes after I asked Qin Yuan to ask for leave for you. It can only be said that the efficiency of Ark's information transmission from top to bottom needs to be improved."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Heh, just when he thought it was embarrassing enough for Ling Changfeng to ask Director Wang for leave again, something even more embarrassing happened.
Boss Liang called him this morning, but Ling Changfeng himself picked it up!
He couldn't imagine Mr. Liang's expression when he heard Marshal Ling's voice on the phone...
What's worse, I have to report to Boss Liang tomorrow!
After absent-mindedly finishing lunch, Xu Xinghe always felt his heart beating.
Thinking about it carefully, this is the first time I have asked for leave since I have been working for more than a year. I am uneasy and a little annoyed at the same time. Why did I sleep so deeply last night
It seemed that with Ling Changfeng beside him, he could always sleep deeply.
After the meal, Xu Xinghe clicked on the group chat again while he was digesting his food, but he suddenly discovered that during the meal time, 99 unread messages had been posted in their six private chat groups.
Xu Xinghe's heart tightened, and with a slightly ominous premonition, he clicked on the chat record—
Ajia: "Leader!! How are you now, leader? Are you feeling okay? Have you started to respond?"
Ryan: "Fucking team leader, I really admire you... What time did you date last night? Are you still up?? Will you still come to work tomorrow?"
Ajia: "? What are you talking about? We Xu Dashen are about to usher in a holiday that lasts for a year and a half!"
Ah Jia: "Woooooooooo Team Leader, did you come to see us before the official vacation? I should have said goodbye to you last night @许星河"
Ethan: "Wait a minute... what are you talking about? Did we hear the same version of the news at lunch?"
Xiao Zhou: "Obviously not"
Ajia: "Your news is too late"
Ryan: "When you say that, I feel that my news is a bit late, so I'll inquire later!"
…
Xu Xinghe: "?"
Team leader Xu looked at the wild and incomprehensible conversations on the screen, and slowly typed a question mark.
Ryan: "The team leader has appeared!!"
Ajia: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, how are you feeling now?"
Xu Xinghe: "? What's the matter, isn't this just talking to you guys?"
Ryan: "Leader, avoid contact with electronic equipment in the future! Those with radiation!"
Xu Xinghe was stunned: "...how can you, a person from the technical department, say such nonsense that electronic products have radiation??"
Watching a horror movie last night was so frightened that I couldn't fall asleep at 3 in the morning, which made me unable to get up this morning and had to ask for leave.
Xu Xinghe hesitated for a moment, then made up a plausible excuse: "I just don't feel well, so I took a day off, and I will go to work tomorrow as usual."
Ryan: "?!"
Ajia: "?!"
Ethan: "..."
Xiao Zhou: "OK"
Seeing their replies, Xu Xinghe felt more and more ominous in his heart: "Wait a minute, what do you think is wrong with me?"
Ryan: "...it's okay"
Ajia: "Team leader, are you really able to come to work tomorrow?"
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He saw that these guys in the group suddenly started to hesitate, pretend to be deaf and dumb, and suddenly became a little irritable.
What happened? Could it be what Boss Liang said in the morning
Xu Xinghe was not naive enough to hope that Mr. Liang would not guess that it was Ling Changfeng who answered the phone this morning, but Mr. Liang is not a gossip, so logically he would not spread the matter around.
Xu Xinghe tentatively asked, "Did Mr. Liang say anything during the meeting this morning?"
Ajia: "I just talked about work arrangements. It's nothing serious. If you feel uncomfortable, the team leader, you can rest first. We can talk about work matters when you come to work tomorrow."
Ryan: "Speaking of Boss Liang, do you think he looks unwell this morning?"
Ethan: "It's a little bit, the morning meeting seems to be out of shape, and the documents were all reversed at the beginning."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He thought of Boss Liang's gray temples, and felt a sense of guilt for no reason.
Xu Xinghe: "That's all? Didn't say anything else... About me?"
Ryan: "Said you were sick"
Ethan: "There is something in the leader's words, what do you think Liang will always say?"
Xu Xinghe: "... Hehe, I thought he would ask about the progress of 3A-Z's investigation and praise you as trash"
Team leader Xu said so, but he was silently relieved. Hearing the situation, Mr. Liang should not have leaked the news.
So what are these people talking about
Xu Xinghe: "I'm giving you one last chance, what outrageous news did you hear? Be honest and be lenient, resistance is a dead end!"
Seeing a silence in the group, they continued to attack their psychological defenses with words: "If I find out by myself after I go to work tomorrow, then you are all finished. If you can't finish the 3A-Z investigation work tomorrow, don't leave work: )”
When everyone heard this, they began to confess—
Ajia: "I declare in advance that I didn't follow the rumors and spread rumors. I just heard that you were diagnosed as pregnant. I have already asked Director Wang for maternity leave this morning..."
Ryan: "I declare in advance that I didn't spread rumors. I just heard that you exercised last night and asked for leave this morning... Then I heard that you have entered that period, and it seems to be marked..."
Ethan: "Then what I heard is relatively normal, I just heard that our team leader Xiao Xu was a little uncomfortable last night after tossing around."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He licked his back teeth, smiled and turned his face to deny anyone: "I changed my mind, I think it's better for you to complete the 3A-Z investigation today :)"
After finishing speaking, he ignored the wailing in the group, and turned off the smartphone without seeing or worrying.
"What's the matter?" Ling Changfeng, who was sitting across the long table, shifted his eyes at some point, as if he had been observing him for a while.
Xu Xinghe gritted his teeth and said, "It's nothing, I'm talking about work."
In the end, he was too naive, thinking that as long as Boss Liang didn't tell about the phone call in the morning, everyone wouldn't think wrong.
But he forgot that the broken place in the tea room of the ark can pass on his pregnancy every now and then! Even if I really took a sick leave, after noon, there will definitely be all kinds of rumors. What's more, I have asked for leave this time for the first time, so it's no wonder those good people are not boiling.
Ling Changfeng looked at his face and asked, "Have you encountered any problems at work?"
Xu Xinghe shook his head: "No, it's just that as soon as I don't go to work, some nonsense starts to spread in the tea room... But it doesn't matter anymore."
He thought about it, this kind of thing really doesn't matter, anyway, rumors like pregnancy, as long as he goes to work as usual, it will be self-defeating.
Ling Changfeng frowned after hearing this: "Nonsense? What did they spread?"
Those different pupils were originally indifferent, but at this moment they frowned, and there was a sharp coldness hanging from the end of their eyes for no reason.
But then, Ling Changfeng discovered that the situation didn't seem to be what he imagined.
His little spouse didn't seem to be offended by these rumors, and just stammered: "It's nothing...whatever they spread? It's all rumors anyway! Don't worry about it!"
When it came to the end, he was a little out of breath.
Then he lowered his head and picked up a piece of pastry in a disguised manner, and ate it pretendingly.
A trace of puzzlement flashed in the different pupils, and immediately, when he saw Xu Xinghe's slightly red ear tips, he suddenly became enlightened.
He can probably guess what type of rumor it is.
Ling Changfeng put away the coldness in his eyes, but still said seriously: "No, how can you ignore the rumors?"
After finishing speaking, he quietly changed the topic: "Unless this rumor will come true in the future."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He stood up abruptly: "I'm going to feed the cat."
After finishing speaking, he rubbed his feet with oil, and slipped away without looking back.
What a joke! Wait for this rumor to come true? Next life!
