The night wind was biting and cold. Shen Zhinian was wearing a thin coat, his fingertips were red from the cold, and his body was trembling slightly.
The security guard really couldn't bear it and he hesitated and revealed again and again: "Mr. Lu seems to have left with Secretary Gao. I heard that he is going to a hotel to discuss cooperation. How about you give me a call?"
Shen Zhinian thought about it again and again, and first put the big and small bags in the heated security booth to avoid getting cold, and then took out her mobile phone to call Lu Jingchuan.
The phone rang for a long time and no one answered.
Shen Zhinian waited silently.
After the third call, Lu Jingchuan picked up the call lazily: "I'll be there in half an hour."
Without giving Shen Zhinian time to answer, he hung up directly.
Gao Qian asked in surprise: "Mr. Lu, are you going to the company later?"
"Let's settle the matter at hand first." Lu Jingchuan avoided answering and continued working.
Shen Zhinian had no choice but to continue waiting. Seeing that there was still no one in sight for an hour, she called again, but this time no one answered.
The security guard was sweating profusely and said tentatively, "Why don't you go inside and wait? It'll be warmer inside."
"No need." Shen Zhinian's mouth curved in a polite manner, and he waved his hand and left: "Then uncle, you can eat everything. You have worked hard tonight."
"Hey, how can this be done? This is what Mr. Lu wants." The security guard waved his hands repeatedly.
"He doesn't want it anymore."
After Shen Zhinian said these four words categorically, he raised his hand to find a taxi and got in without looking back.
At half past eleven in the evening, Lu Jingchuan finally finished and walked out of the hotel with Gao Qian one after another.
Gao Qian asked in confusion: "Mr. Yang is a regular customer. It should be more convenient to bring Secretary Shen here."
"Don't talk nonsense." Lu Jingchuan did not answer directly, but he couldn't help but think of what Mr. Yang had done to Gao Qian just now. Fortunately, he didn't bring Shen Zhinian over.
Walking to the door, Gao Qian pursed her lips and changed the topic: "Secretary Shen is still in the company, do you need to contact me?
As soon as she finished her sentence, Lu Jingchuan stopped and warned with a serious look: "This is the last time to remind you, don't interfere with things you shouldn't."
Gao Qian's smile barely hung on her face.
Lu Jingchuan strode into the car and took out his cell phone to contact Shen Zhinian.
After a melodious song ended, she still didn't pick up the song.
He frowned slightly and told his assistant: "Adjust the company gate surveillance."
There was no one in the surveillance room, only the sound of the wind and the occasional security guard who came out and wandered around.
He fell forward and saw the image of Shen Zhinian walking away two hours ago.
The assistant looked at Lu Jingchuan's face anxiously: "Mr. Lu..."
Lu Jingchuan looked away, tapping his knees rhythmically with his index finger, and ordered: "Make arrangements for lunch with Lu Yan tomorrow."
"OK."
Early the next morning, Shen Zhinian was woken up by the crazy vibrating of his cell phone.
She squinted one eye and struggled to adjust to the screen, and vaguely saw the word "Lu". So early? Probably still dreaming.
Shen Zhinian didn't even think about rowing away and muted her voice.
Downstairs, Lu Jingchuan was leaning on the driver's seat, looking at the screen that flickered and then went off, biting his back molars, and then released his wrinkled forehead after a moment. What was he doing?
To make up for making Shen Zhinian wait in vain last night?
About ten minutes later, the black Bentley drove away slowly.
Shen Zhinian went to work on time, and when he arrived at the president's office, Lu Jingchuan was looking down at the contract with a frown on his face. The two of them looked at each other in the distance, tacitly avoiding their eyes.
"Mr. Lu, if there is no problem with the contract, we need to report it to Mr. Yang today." Gao Qian reminded through the internal line.
Shen Zhinian paused for a moment while sorting out the documents, then continued as if nothing had happened.
Mr. Yang? Is it from Xuanke Group? She used to work with such a big client, and apart from being fond of being hands-on, she was also very generous in cooperation.
"Shen Zhinian, check the schedule later and take the contract with you."
The man's deep voice interrupted Shen Zhinian's inner activities.
Shen Zhinian immediately returned to work and focused on his work, carefully checking his schedule. His eyelids trembled when he saw the lunch schedule with Lu Yan, and his eyes quickly slid over, pretending not to see it.
She picked up the contract, and several design drawings fell out. She glanced at it and asked a lot: "Are you still using last year's model for this year's cooperation?"
"No, it's a brand new design this year." Lu Jingchuan raised his head: "What's wrong?"
Shen Zhinian pursed her lips and looked at the design draft, then turned back to him, pulled out one, pointed her slender fingers at the shape of the waves on her waist, and said, "This is a popular element last year. It's not just this one, there are more or more ones behind it." Shaodu coincides with last year’s.”
Lu Jingchuan gradually became serious, and immediately called the relevant professional departments, held an impromptu meeting to discuss for more than an hour, and then held a two-hour online meeting with the person in charge of the other party to finally confirm Shen Zhinian's statement.
The designer at Xuanke Group made a mistake and handed over last year's scrap draft. Whether it was intentional or not is impossible to know.
The persons in charge of the two parties were punished to varying degrees, and Xuanke Group promised to hand over a new design draft and subsequent compensation plan within half a month.
A serious work error was prevented before it had more serious consequences.
Lu Jingchuan raised his forehead and recalled how several professional design departments had praised Shen Zhinian for her sharp eyesight, and it was thanks to her that she was able to stop losses in time.
His eyes drifted to the people who were busy, and he suddenly thought that she had temporarily modified a set of cleaning clothes when she was in trouble. Maybe she really has a talent in this area?
For smooth follow-up cooperation and subsequent development of the company, Lu Jingchuan invited the internationally renowned designer Liang An.
When Shen Zhinian learned that he was going to pick up Liang An at the airport, his eyes shone: "Are you talking about that design genius Liang An?"
"Is there a second Liang An?" Lu Jingchuan asked calmly, but his eyes were attracted by her beauty and he couldn't move away at all.
"I'll leave right away." Shen Zhinian happily took the key and went downstairs.
After receiving Liang An, Shen Zhinian learned that Lu Jingchuan not only asked her to be a consultant, but also asked her to train new people in the company. Shen Zhinian's mind immediately became active and he specially arranged Liang An's office next to the president's office.
Gao Qian came in holding a pile of documents for verification, her face and eyes were full of work fatigue: "Mr. Lu, please take a look at these documents."
"For Shen Zhinian." Lu Jingchuan waved his hand.
"...Secretary Shen is with Teacher Liang." Gao Qian was embarrassed to answer, but she was secretly happy in her heart.
This situation happened not once or twice. Every time there was an emergency, Shen Zhinian was almost nowhere to be found, and Lu Jingchuan's dissatisfaction was also visible to the naked eye.
Sure enough, Lu Jingchuan frowned when he heard this and looked up to the other side. Liang An was training new people, and Shen Zhinian sat at the back and listened with interest.
Gao Qian waited to see Shen Zhinian's joke.
After a while, Lu Jingchuan said, "Put it on her table."
Gao Qian was stunned, with the question stuck in her throat. She put the documents away hesitantly and hesitated to go out, looking for a way to provoke Shen Zhinian.
Lu Jingchuan seemed to be aware of it and glanced over with an indifferent gaze: "Is there anything else?"
