After the weekend, Lu Chengyu continued to work honestly. After last week’s exploration, he had roughly figured out the relationships between the management personnel in the company. However, perhaps because Yan Mu was now the boss of Huading, people in other departments were very polite to him as the president’s assistant, and no one deliberately embarrassed him. He knew that most of these people working here were smart people. As long as there was no problem at work, they would not make trouble.
The workplace was not a primary school class. If you go to the teacher for every little thing, you will not be seen as the president’s assistant, but the workplace MT, who is dedicated to attracting the hatred of employees, finally ending up being fired.
For example, sometimes when he went to other departments and saw some employees browsing Weibo and chatting for a while at noon when they were most sleepy, he never cared, as long as these departments did their work on time and in the right quantity. As for some people who violated the rules of the workplace and leaked the company’s information, even if he did not deal with it, the department manager would report to the superior for fear of being implicated. Generally, most of those involved in such things would be dismissed.
After receiving two groups of account managers, Lu Chengyu took a sip of the coffee on the table, picked up the signed contract and stood up. Seeing the girl at the door looking at him with admiration, he smiled at her and stood up and left the reception room. If he remembered correctly, this new girl should be Cao Jingshen’s assistant.
The girl also smiled back, looked at Lu Chengyu’s back, and sighed. Although they were both called assistants, the difference was not small. Assistant Lu was able to finalize the contract when meeting with the client. His eloquence and skills were really unmatched by ordinary people. He was simply the man of her dreams.
Thinking of Assistant Lu being the Q-school bully who was very popular on Weibo some time ago, she took out her phone and posted a Weibo: “I watched the male god deal with two difficult customers with just a few words. The elegant, handsome male god, please accept my knees! I want to be your old fan!! May you have surplus every year.”
After she posted the Weibo, she logged out of Weibo and continued to work. She didn’t know that this Weibo was forwarded by many netizens. Some people enthusiastically asked for it to be reposted, and some ridiculed it as hype. Soon, the academic bully Lu was upgraded to male god Lu in this debate.
Lu Chengyu didn’t know that he had become popular on Weibo again. He gave the signed contract to Cao Jingshen and took a box of tea from Cao Jingshen’s office. Then he slowly went back to his office upstairs and received a call from the front desk internal line, saying that a man named Mu Qirong wanted to see Yan Mu, and had already spoken to Yan Mu on the phone in advance.
Since his last name was Mu, he should be a relative of the boss’s mother. He hesitated for a moment, but still walked to the president’s office and knocked on the door of the office. He went in and said, “Boss, a gentleman named Mu Qirong wants to see you.” Every day, he would get a copy of Yan Mu’s appointment schedule for the day from Cao Jingshen in advance, but Mu Qirong’s name was not on today’s appointment list.
Yan Mu’s attention was all on the documents. After hearing Lu Chengyu’s words, he was stunned for a moment before saying, “Let him in.”
“Okay,” Lu Chengyu left the office, picked up the intercom and called the front desk, asking them to let the person in. After hanging up the phone, he thought about it and went to the elevator exit to wait for Mr. Mu.
Mu Qirong had an average relationship with Yan Mu, his cousin, but because his mother felt sorry for Yan Mu’s fatherlessness and the people in the Yan family were not worry-free, she asked him to come and see him, and asked him to invite Yan Mu to attend the cocktail party being held at home. But he and Yan Mu did not grow up together since childhood, so how much could they talk about?
As soon as the elevator door opened, he saw a young man in a dark gray suit waiting outside. When he saw him come out, he smiled politely.
“Hello, Mr. Mu. I am the new assistant to the president. Please come this way.” Lu Chengyu quickly took a look at the person who came out of the elevator. He had a steady pace, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He seemed to be competitive by nature but relatively upright. Of course, the possibility of him being a beast in human clothing could not be ruled out.
“Thank you.” Mu Qirong thanked Lu Chengyu. Before entering Yan Mu’s office, he nodded to Lu Chengyu and walked past him to the front.
“Mr. Mu, you are too polite. Please,” Lu Chengyu gently pushed open the door of the president’s office, stepped aside to invite Mu Qirong in, then stepped out and closed the door.
Yan Mu saw Mu Qirong coming in, put down the pen in his hand, stood up and asked Mu Qirong to sit on the sofa, and then the two of them talked about some useless nonsense awkwardly. They were not the type of cousins who talked a lot, so when they got together, the atmosphere became cold.
“There will be a cocktail party at home the day after tomorrow. Mom and Grandpa want you to attend,” Mu Qirong coughed dryly and made the purpose of his visit clear. “Are you free the day after tomorrow evening?”
Yan Mu nodded, “The day after tomorrow is Wednesday.” Then the two looked at each other and had nothing to say. After a while, he heard a knock on the door. He looked up and saw Lu Chengyu standing outside the door with two cups of coffee.
“Please come in.” After seeing Lu Chengyu come in, he bent down and put two cups of coffee on the table. Yan Mu took the cup naturally and ran his index finger across the rim of the cup.
“The freshly brewed coffee is a little hot, please be careful.” Lu Chengyu noticed his movements and put on a warm smile on his face, “Sorry to bother you two.”
After Lu Chengyu left, Mu Qirong glanced at the closed office door and nodded, “Your new assistant is much better than the previous one.” The previous assistant was arranged by the older generation of the Yan family to be by Yan Mu’s side. Although Mu Qirong was not interested in the calculations of the Yan family, after meeting him a few months ago, he knew that the assistant was not a worry-free person.
“Hmm,” Yan Mu’s expression softened a little, and he took a sip of the coffee, “He’s fine.”
Mu Qirong looked at the coffee releasing white smoke, and there was a small bit of cream floating in the middle. He didn’t reach out to pick up the cup, but said, “As long as he is not sent by others on purpose, although he looks young, he is steady in doing things.”
“I should have nothing to do on Wednesday night, and I will be there on time,” Yan Mu put down the coffee cup and pursed his lips, “He was not sent by others.”
Mu Qirong, who heard that his cousin was willing to attend the cocktail party, was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the “he” his cousin was talking about was the assistant just now. He glanced at Yan Mu, who looked natural, and nodded: “You just pay more attention to it in your daily life.”
The cream in the coffee cup had melted, and the temperature of the coffee gradually dropped. The office was suddenly filled with the smell of coffee.
Lu Chengyu knew that the person who came from the Mu family that day did not sit for long and left quickly. Although he didn’t know what the other party was doing, he knew that as an assistant, he should understand what he should and should not be in charge of.
So he was not surprised when Yan Mu left work early on Wednesday afternoon. A boss like Yan Mu who usually went to work and left on time was already a model representative among CEOs.
After sorting out some documents that Yan Mu needed to handle personally, Lu Chengyu received a call from Cao Jingshen, saying that Third Uncle Yan had come again with Huang Chuan. The people at the front desk did not stop them, and they were now making trouble in the secretarial department.
Lu Chengyu frowned when he heard this. Did Third Uncle Yan deliberately find out that Yan Mu was not in the company before bringing people here? He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, and when he rushed to the secretarial department, he saw Third Uncle Yan sitting in the public office area of the secretarial department with his legs crossed, looking like a big boss. There was a broken cup lying on the ground, and four bodyguards wearing sunglasses stood in the aisle, looking ferocious.
Wearing big sunglasses indoors, did Third Uncle Yan think this was a police and gangster movie?
“Isn’t this Mr. Yan San? What brings you here today?” Lu Chengyu took off his suit jacket and threw it on the desk. He walked to Cao Jingshen and looked at Third Uncle Yan with a smile. “What a coincidence. The boss just went to a cocktail party. You made a wasted trip.”
“It’s you again,” Third Uncle Yan frowned when he saw Lu Chengyu. He glanced at the four bodyguards he brought with him, moved his butt, coughed dryly, and still looked like a master. “Did Yan Mu deliberately leave work early because he didn’t want to see his uncle?”
“Why would Mr. Yan San think so?” Lu Chengyu looked at Third Uncle Yan in disbelief. “The boss’s parents have passed away, and you are one of his few elders. How could he not want to see you. If Mr. Yan San had told the boss in advance that you would be coming to Huading, why would the boss go to any cocktail party?”
This statement not only revealed that Yan Mu was kind, but also said that Third Uncle Yan did not make an appointment and was deliberately pretending to be an elder to make trouble here. The words seemed polite and courteous, but they were a slap in the face without any courtesy.
Third Uncle Yan was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn’t find any words to refute. So, he just said in a deep voice: “Assistant Lu is still so talkative. I wonder if anyone has told you that people who talk a lot are often unlucky.”
Lu Chengyu seemed not to hear the threat in Third Uncle Yan’s words. He took the teacup from the trembling secretary, bent over and held it in front of Third Uncle Yan with both hands, and said with a smile: “Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Yan San, but I am stubborn and can’t control my mouth. Please forgive me. I will slowly change in the future.”
Third Uncle Yan looked at the teacup and didn’t take it. He just looked at Lu Chengyu bending over with the teacup.
Huang Chuan saw that something was wrong, forced a smile and took the teacup from Lu Chengyu’s hand. He wanted to take the opportunity to touch the other person’s hand, but the other person’s hand seemed to have eyes and swooshed away.
“If Mr. Yan San has anything to say, you can call the boss directly,” Cao Jingshen walked out from behind Lu Chengyu, as his eyes hidden under the glasses swept over Huang Chuan’s hand holding the teacup, “You are a family, there is nothing you can’t say.”
Yan San glared at the two of them, stood up and threw away the teacup in Huang Chuan’s hand, and left angrily with the group of people.
Lu Chengyu looked at their backs, raised the corners of his mouth and said gently: “Mr. Yan San is really a straightforward person.” He kicked the broken pieces of the teacup on the ground with his feet, looked at Cao Jingshen and said, “Really?”
Cao Jingshen took off his glasses and sneered: “You don’t know how to live or die.”
Third Uncle Yan thought that the boss would not do anything to him, and he didn’t even think that the boss still had evidence of some shameful things he had done. Even Second Uncle Yan, who was so smart, had stopped and dared not intervene, so why couldn’t Third Uncle Yan figure it out?
“Some people seek death on their own, and no one can stop them.” Lu Chengyu picked up his suit jacket that was still placed on the side, “It’s time to get off work, I’m going home.”
“Goodbye.” Cao Jingshen put on his glasses, smiled at Lu Chengyu’s back, then turned around and asked someone to clean up the office, but he didn’t notice his new secretary secretly taking a photo of Lu Chengyu’s back with her mobile phone
So that night when Lu Chengyu came back from running and opened Weibo, he found that his Weibo account, “Niannian Youyu”, which was known as a top student, was bustling again.
He sighed, it seemed that he had to urge these young people who browsed Weibo to study hard and go to work on time.
