V4C33 – Clamoring Over The Celebration Drink (1/2)

“Ah, Chief Chu, on the side of the R&D Department, we are already short of manpower because of that project we have to do for Germany. Moreover, Motorolla is already getting anxious looking at the plan, so we already need more people. If you reassign someone now, then it will cause a lot of trouble. I don’t agree!” The R&D Department Manager said straightforwardly. The company management was already used to such a behavior from him.

Listening to him say that, Chu Gao was very awkward right now. The company had just started and the present situation needed them to put in a lot more effort to speed up its development to the current rocket speed. Although there was more personnel hired, it was impossible to meet the current needs just with them. After all, it wasn’t the peak time for employment! Moreover, the conditions for the employees in the New Century weren’t high, but it was still difficult to find suitable talents to work at this time.

“Little Wu, I don’t know your situation, but this exhibition is very important to the company. It’s the first time for us company to hold a world-class exhibition. The prestige and future development of our company will gain a huge advantage from this!” Chu Gao said.

“Then, do we stop doing our work?” Wu Chang, the Manager of R&D Department said ill-humouredly.

“This……” Chu Gao was a bit embarrassed.

“Chief Chu, Wu Chang, I have an idea. There’s no need to get people from the R&D Department, but the problem will still be solved!” Yang Mei suddenly said.

“Oh? Tell us then!” Chu Gao said with pleasure.

“Our company has a CTO who gets a salary but doesn’t contribute to the company that much. How about letting him go on a business trip with me?” Yang Mei said in a grand tone.

As I heard her words, cold sweat covered my back. Why does it seem like all this had been pre-planned?

“You mean Director Liu?” Wu Chang said loudly, “Well, with Director Liu’s technical ability, dealing with those issues would be a piece of cake!”

Chu Gao also looked at Yang Mei with a smile.

“Chief Chu, why are you looking towards me like that?” Yang Mei said straightforwardly.

“Yang Mei, tell me, you were aiming for this result from the start, right?” Chu Gao asked with a smile.

“Chief Chu, I……I am only thinking about the company!” Yang Mei said with panic.

“I never said you aren’t thinking for the company. What I mean is: Is everything really for the company?” Chu Gao continued to ask.

“I……” Yang Mei couldn’t refute his words anymore.

“Haha!” The other colleagues of the company saw her like this, so they all understood what happened and started to laugh.

“Alright, Yang Mei, how can I disagree to something that is for the company? But the key is if Director Liu will agree to do it for the company!” Chu Gao smiled as he glanced at me, deliberately stressing on the words “for the company!”

What could I say now? Chu Gao’s meaning was clear: The company is yours, so you deal with these matters!

“Alright, I will attend the exhibition. There won’t be a problem. But first, tell me when it is, so I can make free time for it?” I said.

“It’s the day after tomorrow. Do you have other matters to deal with?” Yang Mei asked.

“Oh……no!” I nodded.

Afterward, I and Yang Mei became the object of ridicule for everyone else, especially the ones who had drunk a bit more. All of them were clamoring about how they must drink my and Yang Mei’s celebration drinks. {TL Note: A Celebration drink is when two people get into a relationship or something!}

Yang Mei was thoroughly blushing as she lowered her head. It wasn’t the blush one would have from getting drunk. Everyone could see the joy from her current appearance.

I sighed darkly.
