Zu Qi explained for a while, but unfortunately the brothers didn’t listen to what he said at all. They kept giving in to Zu Qi and saying that he was not loyal enough and forgot about them after he had a relative like Mr. Wang.
Unable to defend himself, Zu Qi simply chose to remain silent.
After complaining for about ten minutes, the seniors gradually got to the point. One of them said hesitantly, “To be honest, this Saturday is Xiao Yu’s birthday. We plan to hold a party for Xiao Yu and invite colleagues and friends to have fun…”
Halfway through his speech, the man paused slightly, and the person next to him continued, “Mr. Wang is also on our invitation list, but we don’t know how to ask Mr. Wang, and we don’t know whether Mr. Wang will agree.”
It turned out that they were coming for Mr. Wang.
Zu Qi could guess with his toes that Mr. Wang would not agree. There were so many artists in the company, including young movie kings and queens who had emerged in the past two years, but few of them could afford to invite Mr. Wang.
“You can talk to Mr. Wang directly, maybe he has time.” Zu Qi said tactfully.
The man was stunned, turned his head to look at his companions, then licked his lips and said with a little embarrassment: “I feel that what we say is not appropriate. We usually don’t say a few words to Mr. Wang, but it would be different if Mr. Wang’s relative went to say it…”
Facing a group of people’s eager gazes, Zu Qi felt embarrassed. He couldn’t even play dumb. After thinking for a moment, he decided to say directly: “Mr. Wang and I have no relation. If you want to find someone to act as a middleman, you have found the wrong person.”
Zu Qi spoke expressionlessly, and his tone was polite and cold, and these people were stunned on the spot.
It took them a long while to react slowly, and everyone looked embarrassed.
“Just think of it as doing us a favor, okay? We will owe you a favor. If you need our help in the future, we will definitely help you without hesitation,” they promised.
Zu Qi said, “It’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s that I simply can’t help.”
They still didn’t believe it and kept begging for a long time. Seeing that Zu Qi remained unmoved from beginning to end, they suddenly became angry.
“Forget it if you don’t want to help. I’m really blind. Only now do I see clearly that you are that kind of person.” The leader’s face turned pale. He wanted to get angry but didn’t dare to really offend Zu Qi, so he said sarcastically, “I shouldn’t have talked to you about this earlier. It’s a waste of energy.”
Zu Qi looked coldly at the complaining faces in front of him. Suddenly, he lost his patience to waste time with them, so he turned around without saying a word and walked away without looking back.
But as soon as he returned to the corridor, he ran into Mr. Wang who was coming from Duan Kai’s office.
“Xiao Qi.” President Wang greeted him warmly, even changing his address. He quickened his pace and walked in front of Zu Qi, “I just went to look for you but couldn’t find you. Where have you been?”
Zu Qi said vaguely, “I went to the bathroom. Is there something you want to talk to me about, President Wang?”
“Your schedule is so full now, and you can’t do many things yourself. I plan to find two more assistants for you, a work assistant and a life assistant. Would you like to come with me to take a look?” President Wang asked.
Originally, Zu Qi was prepared to be scolded by Mr. Wang because of the photos and recordings, but he didn’t expect that Mr. Wang was talking about something else. He was a little confused for a moment.
At this time, President Wang pointed behind Zu Qi and shouted sternly: “You guys over there, come here.”
Before Zu Qi could react, the people who were called came running over. They were the young men who were angry and embarrassed because Zu Qi failed to agree to do a good job for them. They thought that President Wang had something important to tell them, and there was joy and hope in everyone’s eyes.
“Boss Wang, you’re looking for us?”
“Go to the Human Resources Department and call the new applicants for assistants to Duan Kai’s office. Remember to pick the smart ones. Don’t call those who look dull and slow.” Boss Wang ordered.
“Ah?” Those people were stunned.
“What?” Mr. Wang frowned, his mouth tight, completely lacking the kindness and amiability he had just shown to Zu Qi. “Did I not explain clearly enough or did you not understand what I said?”
Seeing that Mr. Wang was about to explode, those people did not dare to delay and quickly responded and ran away.
….
“That Zu Qi is going too far. We only asked him to say a few good words to Mr. Wang. We are not going to eat him. Is there any need to reject him so bluntly?”
“Anyway, I don’t believe that he has no relationship with Mr. Wang. Even if they are not relatives, there must be some other involvement.”
“What do you think…” The young man named Tao He deliberately lengthened his voice and raised a malicious smile at the corner of his mouth, “Are Zu Qi and Mr. Wang in that kind of relationship? Otherwise, why would Mr. Wang care so much about Zu Qi?”
The others thought about it and immediately felt that there was a possibility in that regard.
The few people came to the Human Resources Department while chatting. They conveyed Mr. Wang’s words to the girl in the Human Resources Department. The girl called the manager, and then the manager carefully selected four people from a group of young people who had just passed the preliminary examination and took them upstairs.
Tao He found it strange and asked the girl in the HR department: “Has Sister Shan not found an assistant?”
Liu Huishan was recognized as the unluckiest person in the company. She had been short of an assistant for many years. Last time, she finally met a suitable person like Xiao Dengzi, but he turned out to be Zu Qi’s man.
“Sister Shan found an assistant hundreds of years ago.” The girl laughed, “It’s because Zu Qi has too few assistants, so President Wang plans to recruit two more for him.”
Tao He was stunned. Jealousy and unwillingness were like two entangled poisonous snakes, instantly crawling into his heart: “Why? There is only one assistant among so many of us, why can he be special? Doesn’t the company system stipulate that treatment will be distributed according to rank?”
The girl smiled softly: “You have to ask President Wang to know the answer to this question.”
“…” Tao He was speechless.
The others became more and more angry as they thought about it and couldn’t help but complain on the spot.
There were not many people in the office, except for the girl. That girl was obviously used to this kind of thing, and she continued to work on the computer without changing her expression, as if she couldn’t hear their voices.
Tao He and the others felt bored after talking for a while, so they said goodbye to each other and prepared to leave the HR department’s office area. But before they walked out of the glass door, they saw a man with conspicuous purple hair walking outside.
Tang Moning.
Tao He glanced at Tang Moning and said nothing. Ever since the incident between Tang Moning and Shi Hao, few people in the company dared to get close to him, because except for reputation issues, there was still the fear of being stabbed in the back by such a scheming person.
They had heard that Tang Moning had changed his style recently. He was no longer a good boy but had let go of his idol image and taken the path of a talented actor. Even his exaggerated purple hair was dyed for his new movie.
You had to say that Tang Moning was very handsome. Even with his hair dyed into this weird look, he still looked very good. No wonder some fans still followed him wholeheartedly.
Tao He’s thoughts turned several corners and then calmed down. He planned to pretend that he saw nothing and walked straight past Tang Moning.
As they passed each other, Tang Moning suddenly stopped.
“Tao He.” Tang Moning’s voice was very low, as if only the two of them could hear it, “Go to the bathroom on this floor and wait for me.”
