The whole department went to dinner together in the evening. But because they had to go to work the next day, they didn’t stay out late. And after dinner, they dispersed in various ways. However, before they parted, everyone told Lu Chengyu that they would still invite him to their gatherings in the future.
Lu Chengyu agreed happily. When he drove back home, it was not yet ten o’clock in the evening. So after taking a shower, he couldn’t sleep. Then he lay on the sofa with his notebook and browsed the Cape Forum. He had a fight with a vest called Wufen Qian who always liked to say that the moon was rounder abroad. When the other party was furious, he calmly closed the forum. It was his usual style to walk away after others were so angry that they were jumping up and down. Although this style made many people in the Cape Forum who didn’t like him very crazy, but they were still determined to die.
Habitually searching for information about Liang Deyou on the Internet, he saw a news report saying that the boss of Liang’s family had retired to the second line and wanted to let his only son take power.
Liang Deyou’s father, Liang Guoming, was a representative figure who had started from scratch. In his early years, he was the workshop director of a state-owned enterprise. Later, he went into business. He was lucky enough to encounter the golden age and make a lot of money. After that, he began to invest in the real estate industry and encountered the great opportunity of soaring housing prices. Now he was also a well-known big boss in the industry. Because he only had Liang Deyou as his son, so for so many years, those beautiful women outside had not been able to enter his house.
“Liang…” Picking up the pickled pepper chicken feet on the table and chewing slowly, Lu Chengyu moved the cursor over the photo of the father and son. Liang Guoming had a local tyrant smell all over his body. No matter how expensive the clothes he wore were, people could tell his origin at a glance. However, Liang Deyou on the side looked like he came from a wealthy family.
After gnawing on a chicken feet, Lu Chengyu looked at the bone in his hand with some pain, and then looked at the trash can a few meters away from him. After thinking for a while, he took two tissues and put them on the coffee table and threw the bone on the tissues. He decided to throw them into the trash can together after gnawing. Now this posture was comfortable, and he didn’t want to move.
There was no big news about Liang’s. Lu Chengyu used the Internet to check Huang Chuan’s computer and found that Huang Chuan was preparing to invest in a movie recently, but he lacked some funds.
Now many things had changed, but there were many similarities with the previous life. For example, Liang Deyou still began to learn to manage Liang’s, and Huang Chuan still planned to invest in movies, but the most profitable “Flying Bird” had already entered his hands.
Clearing the traces of his invasion, Lu Chengyu opened another bag of pickled pepper chicken claws and continued to gnaw, and then started watching the live broadcast of a football game. He happened to see the scene of the Chinese men’s football team losing the ball. He sighed and shook his head. Maybe no matter how he was reborn, the only thing that could be guaranteed to remain unchanged was the dismal performance of the Chinese men’s football team.
After closing the live football broadcast, Lu Chengyu looked at his watch. It was almost eleven o’clock. He finished eating the chicken feet in his hand, rolled up the bones into the tissue, and threw the garbage into the trash can. As for not eating after brushing his teeth before going to bed, he had forgotten it completely.
Getting up every day was a painful torture for Lu Chengyu. He changed his clothes, looked at the several dirty clothes in the room with an expressionless face, went to the bathroom to wash up calmly, and then drove to the company for breakfast, arriving at the company very accurately fifteen minutes early.
When he went to the secretariat to pack up his things, he saw Cao Jingshen had already arrived. After greeting him, he entered the elevator with a box of sundries. When he pressed the button for the 28th floor, he suddenly remembered that Yan Mu seemed to have had an assistant, but he disappeared shortly after he arrived at the company.
It seemed that there may be some problems with the identity of the previous assistant. He didn’t know if he was a commercial spy or someone sent by the Yan family.
Arriving at the 28th floor, he found a room with the sign of Assistant’s Office on the right side of the president’s office. After pushing open the door, he found that the room was very clean. There was a pot of daffodils on the desk, two pots of blooming flowers on the balcony, and some company information on the bookshelf against the wall. After putting his things in place, he sat down on the chair. The backrest was very comfortable to lean on when he was tired. He glanced at the new computer and intercom on the computer desk. It seemed that the office was decorated very carefully. He wondered if it was Yan Mu’s special instructions or the people in the logistics department giving him face, or both? There were a few knocks on the office door. He looked up and saw Yan Mu standing at the door.
“Boss?” He stood up from his chair. “Is there anything I can do?”
“Are you satisfied with the office?” Yan Mu handed him a folder and looked at the office environment. “This is the personnel situation of each department of the company. You should get familiar with it. When I am busy in the future, the coordination of each department will be handed over to you.”
Lu Chengyu nodded and took the folder. From a certain perspective, the position of assistant to the president was more important than the secretary to the president. If the person in this position was not flexible enough, he really couldn’t do it.
Yan Mu decided to let Lu Chengyu be his assistant after careful consideration. He observed Lu Chengyu’s style of doing things and his etiquette and demeanor, which satisfied him very much. Probably, except for his young age, there was nothing wrong with him. The most important thing was that this person knew what to say on what occasion and knew how to deal with people. This was more important than anything else for an assistant.
In the industry, it was not uncommon for businesses to suffer a loss because of the bosses’ assistants’ lack of tact and offending people. Therefore, sometimes, choosing an assistant required more caution than choosing a secretary.
“The office is very good,” Lu Chengyu put the folder on the desk, “I will understand the work as soon as possible.”
Yan Mu nodded, and seeing that Lu Chengyu seemed to have no discomfort, he turned and left the office. For him, the work attitude of employees was very important, and Lu Chengyu’s was very good.
After work at noon, Yan Mu left the office and prepared to go downstairs to eat. When he passed the assistant’s office, he found that Lu Chengyu had already gone downstairs. He did not stop and went downstairs directly.
When he arrived at the cafeteria, he saw Lu Chengyu sitting with several people, whispering something while eating. At the same table with him were several department managers.
From the way these people talked happily, it really didn’t seem that Lu Chengyu was unfamiliar with these people before.
“Boss,” Cao Jingshen walked to his side, followed his line of sight and glanced in the direction of Lu Chengyu, and then said calmly: “I have prepared your meal for you in advance.”
“Thank you,” Yan Mu nodded to Cao Jingshen, and sat down with Cao Jingshen in the corner. He still had the standard configuration of two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, a soup and a serving of fruit. He ate his meal neither fast nor slow. Occasionally, when Cao Jingshen made an interesting suggestion, he nodded slightly, but he didn’t say much. The habit of talking less and trying not to talk while eating had long been engraved in his bones.
Lu Chengyu came down as soon as it was time for the meal, just to meet one or two department managers. These department managers also knew that he was the new assistant to the president, and both sides wanted to have a good relationship, so after a few interactions, within a few minutes, they started to call each other brothers. If this happened in a martial arts novel, they would have already sworn brotherhood.
After the meal, several people had already started discussing when to go fishing together at the farm house, and their mobile phone numbers were saved in each other’s phones. When they separated, everyone was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood.
Tang Xuan waved to Lu Chengyu after she saw him separate from several department managers. When he approached, she looked around and smiled mysteriously, “I just heard a piece of news in the logistics department. Do you want to hear it?”
“What news?” Lu Chengyu sat down beside her with a curious look on his face, “Is it that the boss has a girlfriend, or that some beautiful woman is getting married?”
“Look at how capable you are,” Tang Xuan glanced at him, “It’s about you.”
“Me?” Lu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, “Who in the company doesn’t know about my job as the president’s assistant?”
“It was Boss Cao who called the logistics department yesterday and asked them to decorate your office well,” Tang Xuan raised her chin, “We all know what kind of person Boss Cao is. He will definitely not make this call just for you. The fact that he called the logistics department shows that this is the boss’s intention. Now you know how much the boss values you, right?”
Hearing this, Lu Chengyu immediately laughed and teased Tang Xuan, but his words revealed that he respected Tang Xuan as a senior.
In the corner far away, Cao Jingshen suddenly thought, if Lu Chengyu was a rich second-generation, with such a way of doing things, he didn’t know how many women he would harm.
When he came back to his senses, Yan Mu had finished his meal. He looked at the cold food in front of him and suddenly lost his appetite.
“Mr. Yan San will come to the company in the afternoon. He said he would bring someone with him,” Cao Jingshen said, “Do you want to meet him?” Since the unpleasant meeting three months ago, Third Uncle Yan had not appeared in the company. He didn’t know what he was thinking today, but he suddenly decided to come to the company.
“If he dares to come, of course I dare to meet him.” Yan Mu spoke lightly, but when he mentioned Third Uncle Yan, there was no affection between relatives in his eyes.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, Lu Chengyu received a call from the front desk, saying that Third Uncle Yan was here, and the appointment time was 4:20 in the afternoon. He glanced at the schedule arranged by Cao Jingshen, who had indeed arranged a meeting time for Third Uncle Yan, so he said: “Let him come up.”
After hanging up the phone, he walked to the elevator entrance and stood there. In less than two minutes, he saw Third Uncle Yan come out with a slightly fat man and two bodyguards, with a cigar in his mouth.
Lu Chengyu glanced at the people behind Third Uncle Yan, curled his lips and walked forward: “Mr. Yan San, the president is waiting for you in the office, please.”
Third Uncle Yan recognized him at a glance, frowned, then laughed and said: “You young man are really handsome and extraordinary, and you have already been transferred to this floor to work.”
This was said in a strange tone, and anyone could hear that Third Uncle Yan meant something else in his words, and was even hinting that Lu Chengyu relied on his face to climb up. This attitude was really impolite.
“Mr. Yan San, thank you for the compliment,” Lu Chengyu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, “I am young and ignorant, how dare I get your praise, let alone anything else, in just generosity, I am not as good as you.” This kind of brainless person could only be barely related to generosity.
Third Uncle Yan pulled the corner of his mouth with a fake smile, and said impatiently: “Okay, don’t talk nonsense with me, take me to Yan boy.”
Lu Chengyu still smiled when he heard this tone, maintaining a polite and respectful attitude, without any impoliteness from beginning to end. However, the slightly fat man behind Third Uncle Yan had taken the opportunity of the two talking to look Lu Chengyu up and down several times. When he saw Lu Chengyu leading them forward with an elegant posture, his eyes were already salivating.
