Chapter 6 (1/2)
Sorry for the late release, this chapter only shows some stalker-possessive-male-lead-usual-behaviour in Yan Mu, too bad Chengyu didn't know it. I hope it will not be long until he realized it. HA HA HA ψ(｀∇´)ψ
Chapter 6: Adapt
“Your reaction is very fast,” Yan Mu's eyes s.h.i.+fted from Lu Chengyu to Cao Jingshen's folder, which Lu Chengyu used to smash teacups. “Nowadays, there aren't many college students who are as physically fit as you are.”
“Usually I do a lot of exercises and I used to play basketball before, it was due to the conditioned reflex that I somehow managed to throw precisely. ,” said Lu Chengyu, he saved the doc.u.ment file, close his laptop and smiled at Yan Mu.
After a while, Yan Mu's lips moved. He said: “Just now, thank you.” He glances at Cao Jingshen and leaves the office.
Cao Jingshen saw his glance and follow him out. Lu Chengyu was left alone in the conference room, he scrutinises the room before slowly walks out of the room while holding his laptop using one hand.
When he walks into the elevator, he saw several people who partic.i.p.ate in the meeting just now. All these people appearance are good. When they saw Lu Chengyu entering the elevator, they nodded to him. From that, Chengyu can deduce that these people are Yan Mu's ally.
Either it is a business world or politic world, one's standing is important. If you choose the wrong place to stand, your life is going to be tragic.
Back to his cubicle, Lu Chengyu printed out the previous meeting minutes and then continued to familiarize himself with Huading's internal situation. No matter how Huading's future gonna be, what he needs to do now is to do his job well.
When it's about time to get off work, Lu Chengyu found that his office's colleagues were very enthusiastic about him as a newcomer. So, when he wants to go home, there were many people said they wanted to hold a welcome party for him. With a big smile on their face, they told Lu Chengyu if there was anything he didn't know, just ask them.
During today's noon break at the canteen, these people have still alienated him. But now, they have become so excited. This is not because they are relieved since they can stay in Huading, but because Chengyu was the a.s.sistant of the President's secretary, meaning that he is one of the new President's faction.
After leaving the company, Lu Chengyu takes a crowded bus that was more tightly packed than canned bus this morning. He began to consider buying a second-hand car. Although he has a miserable working experience in his past life, he was able to buy a second-hand Chery. This life shouldn't be worse than that and he doesn't really care whether others would gossip about how an intern was able to buy a car.
In this society, it doesn't really matter if someone gossiping about you. What is important is whether you have or not the ability to block the gossip.
Regardless of how well and perfect someone can do his job, there always be someone else slander him behind his back. Only the person who has ‘someone strong behind his back', or they have ‘money' are able to block gossip. If someone who has both of this and yet still being slander by someone else, let alone him, who someone doesn't have both.
(T/N: For Chengyu, he doesn't care about gossip because regardless of how strong your backer or how much you money you have, someone still gossips about you. As for him who don't have both, it is not a surprise if someone wants to tell gossip about him, so he doesn't care)
After Chengyu gets off the bus, he went to a noodle shop in his neighbourhood and ordered a bowl of beef noodles, added with two dishes of meat and a plate of vegetables. Lu Chengyu loves to eat Tang Thiong [1] noodles here. It has quite a strong taste. All these years, he only likes the taste of this shop although this shop's front is not impressive.
The owner of the noodle shop is a fat man of about forty years old. Every time he sees Lu Chengyu, he puts extra two pieces of beef in his noodles. This young man has a good appet.i.te and is a frequent customer. Some girls in the shop come to eat noodles just to see him. Since he is the boss, he puts extra beef to in Chengyu's noodle to reward him.
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he heard about this young man's family. This young man has no father or mother in his early twenties. Fortunately, he had a house and was a student from a famous university. If he was an ordinary person, it would not be easy to find a wife. Nevertheless, it is not easy for such a young child to live alone without parents.
As usual, Chengyu didn't take the coin balance from the boss shop. The fat boss smiling while looking when Chengyu is leaving. He can't help but feel that this young man appearance is handsome. If his daughter is a few years older than now, he wanted Chengyu to be his son-in-law.
Lu Chengyu returned home with a pile of junk food he bought from the supermarket near the entrance of his neighbourhood. He put drinks and beer in the refrigerator and turned on the TV. He casually glances at the television and saw entertainment news, where a female celebrity was humbly saying something.
Looking at this scene, Lu Chengyu laughed. In his past life, while working in the production team doing all the odd jobs, he remembers that this female actress was a guest actor in a drama. She was full of airs and he couldn't see any modesty in her that she shown on the television right now. When he remembered those time during the crew was in trouble, Chengyu sneered and picked up the remote control to change the channel.
She has a small heart, and it was precisely her style to repay the kindness that she received by complaining and show dissatisfaction.
Cao Jingshen looked at the meeting minutes in his hand and pushed his gla.s.ses. The record was clear and even summarized. But, this isn't the part that surprised him. The most surprising thing was that the meeting minutes were recorded exactly the way how the meeting was held, but somehow it made people feel that boss is doing the right thing, while on the other side, Yan Lao Er had a shallow meaning.
The meeting minutes are not reports. So every sentence must be written truthfully and clearly to record the process of the meeting and you can't add your own judgment. But, for such a simple task as writing meeting minutes, Chengyu was able to get others to feel like this.
Cao Jingshen was excited looking at the whole meeting minutes one by one while can't help but feel that Chengyu has a rare talent. Not to mention that he is only a student who has not graduated formally, even if he is a veteran in the business, there aren't many people able to do this. For this kind of person, Cao Jingshen had to find ways to keep him.
With this in his mind, Cao Jingshen hurried to the president's office, knocked twice at the door, then pushed the door and said, “Boss, look at this meeting minutes!”
Yan Mu took the meeting minutes, he read a few lines, put down the records and said, “Very good.”
Cao Jingshen knows that he can get a “very good” sentence from Yan Mu, even he agrees with it. Then he said, “When Lu Chengyu came to report this morning, I thought he looked better than his brain. Now I have to admit that it's me who's blind.”
(T/n: Jingshen thought Chengyu is only good looking but not clever but it the truth is that boy really have talent, so he admits that he wasn't good at judging people.)
Yan Mu looked at the time, it was 8:00 p.m. He gets up from his chair, picked up his suit coat, and lightly threw out a sentence: “Also it is true that he is good-looking.”
Cao Jingshen stunned for a while, he doesn't know how to reply to that. After a moment of hesitation, he continued to speak: “I mean, this potential talent, we must hire him.”
“When he comes to interview here during the turbulent time, it shows that he intends to stay in Huading,” Yan Mu tightened his tie. “Just follow the normal procedure. He is a wise man who knows what he wants.”
After he thinks about it, Cao Jingshen nodded. He thinks that the boss was right. “I see.”
