Chapter 13 How dare I be dissatisfied? I'm just an intern...

Qin Jixiu's plans for Friday night were simple. He would go to a concert with Zhu Xun, and if he had enough time, he would go play tennis nearby. He also asked Shi Rui to familiarize himself with Assistant General Manager Gu's work content in advance. After all, Assistant General Manager Gu would be on vacation next week, and Shi Rui would have to take on two jobs.

After turning off the lights and locking the door, Qin Jixiu passed by Shi Rui's workstation and saw that he was ordering takeout on his mobile phone. It seemed that he was ready to work overtime in the evening.

"Mr. Qin." Shi Rui raised his head and greeted him. He looked unhappy and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Qin Jixiu looked at his watch and said with a feigned concern, "Let's eat first. A full stomach gives you the energy to work. There's some valuable information compiled by Gu Qing in the archives. Take it and take a closer look. We're having dinner with Mr. Chi from Chengyue on Monday night. It wouldn't look good if you showed up with some memo."

In short, your weekend is ruined.

He went out to play and Shi Rui worked overtime, which was reasonable. This was the treatment and fate that people who betrayed their feelings deserved.

Shi Rui only had one question: "Will the company gate be locked at night?"

Qin Jixiu said irresponsibly: "I'm not sure, I think so. Why don't you go and ask?"

Shi Rui stood up at this time. He picked up his phone, hung his work badge around his neck, and said while making a gesture of invitation, "Then I'll go downstairs with you."

It was strange, Qin Jixiu thought. Shi Rui had become a completely different person after this job. They'd been playing games together before, and one day, the home network was down, causing the game to lag wildly. The game was a few seconds late from the Maweiyi level to the Longmen Desert. Shi Rui had immediately said impatiently, "Hurry up! Everyone's waiting for you!"

Perhaps it was because of the difference in treatment. Back then, he kept calling Shi Rui "baby," and Shi Rui probably thought he was too flattering, so it didn't matter if he got angry. Now Shi Rui was still on probation, and his fate rested in Qin Jixiu's hands. When you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head, and even if you have complaints, you can only swallow them secretly.

In the elevator.

Shi Rui's expression was calm and composed, his eyes fixed on the constantly changing numbers. Qin Jixiu could only see his emotionless profile from behind, his eyelashes blinking slowly, again and again. He had no idea what he was thinking, perhaps secretly cursing his black-hearted boss in his heart?

bite--

We have reached the first floor.

Shi Rui turned around and showed a very polite smile: "Bye, Mr. Qin, have a good weekend."

Thinking that Shi Rui would not be happy this weekend, he was very happy. Qin Jixiu nodded happily: "Of course."

Qin Jixiu's Friday night pastime usually involves drinking and bragging with older bosses. His assistants accompany him out for social events, not so much to drink as to remind him of the status of the wives and children of the guests of honor. Whether it's the college entrance exam, the high school entrance exam, or just graduating and looking for work, they have little to do with him. But business is all about personal connections, and the concept of "personal connections" is a subtle and complex one. They might call you a brother or say "sure, sure," but they could stab you in the back at any moment.

After being single for so many years in real life, Qin Jixiu hasn't attended a concert for a long time, especially not with that fool Zhu Xun.

"I'm a girl in a world in which my only job is to marry rich..."

The leading actress is a black actress with a naturally loud and deep voice. The tempo of this part is fast, and she sang with all her heart and soul, and you couldn't hear any breathing in the middle.

Zhu Xun beside him suddenly turned around and spoke to him: "Ji Xiu, if we both fell in love with the same person one day, would you give up to me?"

Zhu Xun blinked his innocent eyes and asked a stupid question that most people would never think of. Qin Jixiu glanced at him as if he was a lunatic: "..."

Zhu Xun reacted and said to himself, "I know that's a bit of a stretch, but what I mean is, if we have the same sexual orientation and I happen to like someone you're interested in, I'll give it to you."

Qin Jixiu wasn't very moved and said perfunctorily, "Thank you."

"You don't believe it? Although I don't like men, after knowing that you and Ye Lan had a baby, I didn't even click on his profile picture..."

"So?" Qin Jixiu tilted his head.

"So what does he look like in real life?"

His friend went through so much trouble just to see what Shi Rui looked like. Qin Jixiu said halfheartedly, "What could he possibly look like? Two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. He's not even as good-looking as you."

"Oh," Zhu Xun nodded, suddenly realizing, "Hey you, how good am I? My mom praises me every day! My round face makes me look younger and ages slower, you just don't understand!"

"Is that so?" Qin Jixiu was even more perfunctory.

"Okay, I know you don't want to talk about that person now. Let's talk about it later, later."

Qin Jixiu didn't respond.

After a while, Zhu Xun was about to open his mouth to say something again, but Qin Jixiu didn't even look at him and put his index finger to his lips.

Zhu Xun made an OK gesture.

Meanwhile, Shi Rui, sifting through old documents in the archives, was dusty and dusty, sweat streaming down his forehead into his eyes. He had found Assistant Gu's work files from the past five years and flipped through them. They contained numerous handwritten notes and labels on the sides; they were indeed valuable. His next task was to finish reviewing them before Monday.

As he was walking out with his suitcase in his arms, he suddenly received a message on his phone from his roommate, Jiang Lin.

[Shi Rui! Guess who I saw at the concert?!]

A man's face appeared in front of Shi Rui.

“Who is it?” he asked.

The chat interface was open and the phone rang.

[I saw Mr. Qin! But he didn't come alone! He had company!]

After Shi Rui saw the contents, he placed the box on the ground. He had just turned off the lights in the archives room, leaving only the light from his phone screen reflected on his face, causing two wrinkles to form between his brows.

call out.

[photo. ]

call out.

[That's him!]

In the photo sent by Jiang Lin, a man in a cream-colored shirt and a white knitted vest was leaning slightly and talking to Qin Jixiu, who was dressed in a suit and tie next to him. Qin Jixiu's eyes were fixed on the stage, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.

Shi Rui enlarged the photo and looked carefully at the face of the strange man.

The man looked younger than Qin Jixiu, with fair skin and big eyes. When he spoke, a dimple appeared on his cheek, and he looked very innocent.

Shi Rui wasn't as gay as his brother, but he could tell there was something unusual about their relationship. Would a normal man watch a musical with his male friends? No.

So are they lovers?

Shi Rui put away his phone, carried the documents, and walked out of the archives room, locking the door. He walked to the end of the corridor and reached out to open the window. The autumn breeze blew in, dispersing the slightly stagnant air in the corridor. Shi Rui took a deep breath, looking out the window, and replied to Jiang Lin: "Was the musical good?"

Jiang Lin: [It's beautiful! What a shame you didn't come to see it... But what exactly is Mr. Qin's relationship with that guy?]

The topic came back again, and Shi Rui sighed.

[Why don't you ask Mr. Qin?]

Jiang Lin: [This is not good...]

Standing by the window, Shi Rui felt like quitting for the first time. His father had once said that without the protection of the Shi family, no one outside would support him or care for him, but he hadn't believed it. Qin Jixiu had asked him to work overtime, and although he was reluctant, he suddenly realized that others had probably gone through the same rookie period, and he felt relieved for a moment, even full of energy.

Now he didn't know what happened, but he suddenly felt relieved.

The sound-activated lights in the hallway went out, plunging the surroundings into darkness. Shi Rui's eyes adjusted for a moment before he plopped down on the box. He opened a background app. He only had one follower, and it was Shi Xi who had helped him click on it that night.

That person’s only update has already received 3 million likes.

When Shi Rui clicked on it, he suddenly found that the photo had a caption: "@Designer Zhu Xun @Zhu Xun Studio Mr. Zhu insisted on taking the photo, and it was hard to refuse his kindness."

How is this different from an official announcement? Before thinking about it, Shi Rui had already clicked on the personal homepage of "Designer Zhu Xun". In addition to a large number of clothing displays, there was also a pinned video at the top. The cover was not just clothes, but indeed, the man's face was fully exposed in it.

Although the hairstyle and clothes were different, Shi Rui recognized him at a glance. This was the person in the photo sent by Jiang Lin, who was watching the musical with Qin Jixiu in a loving manner.

Shi Rui stood up suddenly, grabbed his cell phone and made a call.

"Shi Rui, what's wrong?"

The other party's gentle voice came, and he slowly called out: "Boss Qin."

Qin Jixiu asked him, "What's wrong?"

"I found the file left by Sister Gu Qing."

Qin Jixiu asked in disbelief: "Is that all?"

"Boss Qin."

"ah."

Shi Rui's momentum to question him seemed to die down: "I want to go home first today and come to the company to work overtime tomorrow."

"Well," Qin Jixiu guessed that he had an appointment with Qiao Lezi and said coldly, "It's up to you. If you think you have the ability to fully digest what Gu Qing has sorted out over the past five years in two days, then go and rest first."

"Boss Qin..." Shi Rui frowned sensitively, "Why do I feel like you can't stand me being idle and throw all the work to me?" Before, Shi Rui didn't know that Qin Jixiu had a girlfriend and thought he was interested in him. Now he sees and understands that Qin Jixiu is targeting him, although he doesn't know where he offended him.

"Why do you think so?" Qin Jixiu smiled faintly. "It's your job responsibility to familiarize yourself with the work before starting work. You'll get your salary and overtime pay when the time comes. What are you dissatisfied with?"

Shi Rui understood the reason, but he still felt a lump in his chest.

"How could I be dissatisfied? I'm just an intern. But... I haven't received my salary yet, and I don't have any money. When can you reimburse me for the money I spent running errands to buy you things a few days ago? Zhengfeng is such a big company, they can't let their employees pay for work out of their own pockets."

Qin Jixiu threw him two hundred thousand yuan and even gave him a car. He thought Shi Rui was just playing the victim and pretending to be poor, but Shi Rui was right. Public is public, private is private. Qin Jixiu lowered his head and transferred five thousand yuan to him.

"I have a bad memory. You can deduct the money yourself and ask me for it after that. But next time you speak to me in that tone, go back to your project department."

Qin Jixiu hung up the phone after saying that.
