Chapter 112: Developed a conscience?

When Chen Che returned to his workstation with a puzzled look in his eyes, his colleagues all looked over at him.

It was their team leader, Old Liu, who spoke first. "Chen Che, what does Special Assistant Liu want to see you about?"

Chen Che scratched his head and said, "He just asked me about choosing a major."

"Choose a major?" This answer really surprised everyone.

Chen Che nodded. "Yes, Special Assistant Liu said that his cousin is about to take the college entrance examination and wants to work in our field. He asked me how my majors are divided now..."

My colleague Xiao Wang sighed, "What's so good about our job? I work overtime every day and I'm going bald."

My colleague Xiao Liu has a different view. "After all, we are technical talents. We make a living by technology, so our job is stable."

Colleague Xiao Zhang agreed, "What's more, he has a cousin named Liu, so whether he joins Xu's or goes to another company, he will have a bright future."

Seeing that everyone stopped surrounding him and asking questions, Chen Che breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Yan Ruo spent an entire afternoon and finally sorted out the results of the past few days of investigation and some future development plans.

I turned off the computer and looked at the time. It was already past five o'clock.

Xiao Tao sent a message saying that he would be back later. Not wanting to make things too much trouble, he ordered takeout directly on his phone.

I stood on the balcony for a while, then remembered that I hadn't sent all ten messages today, so I quickly opened the chat interface with Xu Shaoyu.

[Panda Heads Up, Good Afternoon! ]

[I ordered rice with rice crust tonight. What are you having for dinner? ]

After sending the message, I didn't receive a reply for a long time. When the sun gradually sank in the sky and the rice crust was finished, Xu Shaoyu's message finally arrived.

[I was just in a meeting.]

[Girlfriend, your attitude is not right. ]

[I asked you to send me at least ten messages every day, but you just send me off with "Good morning, good afternoon, have you eaten yet?"

At that time, Yan Ruo had just finished his meal and was standing against the wall to digest his food.

I heard the phone beep and looked at the time. I had been standing there for fifteen minutes. I stretched my arms and legs before replying to the message.

【After all, it’s just the beginning, so a transition period is needed. 】

I hope my boyfriend will be more understanding.

[All ten messages received today have been received. Please check them carefully.]

When Xu Shaoyu saw the message, he had just returned to the office after a meeting. The manager of the technical department was coming in with two supervisors to report on their work.

The expressionless face softened the moment the phone screen lit up.

Seeing Yan Ruo's message, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.

[If you cheat again next time, you will be fined ten times the amount of the cheating.]

After the technical manager finished his report, he didn't hear from the boss for a long time, and he felt very disappointed.

Recently, due to technical problems, a major project of the group has been stuck for several days. Yesterday, the boss said that if the problem is not resolved, he will be fired.

The boss must be so angry that he can't speak, and he must be planning some big move.

The technical manager looked at the information in his hands. They were already working overtime to solve the problem, so he just needed two more days.

I looked up cautiously, thinking that I must ask my boss for two days' grace.

I just happened to see the upward curve of Xu Shaoyu's lips before he could close them.

The technical department manager was shocked. It was all over. The boss was laughing in anger. It seemed that there was no way to escape this disaster today.

If you stick your head out, you will get hurt. If you hide your head, you will get hurt too. So you might as well give it a try.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and mustered up the courage to speak, "Mr. Xu, please give us two more days. I promise that this problem will be solved within two days!"

After saying this, he lowered his head, ready to bear the wrath of his boss.

"Such a small problem has not been solved for such a long time. What is your technical department doing?"

Seeing that Yan Ruo did not reply to the message, Xu Shaoyu immediately returned to work.

His voice was flat, yet it carried an inexplicable chill. "Then I'll give you two more days."

The technical manager didn't even listen carefully to what he was saying, and blurted out the plea that he had rehearsed countless times in his mind.

"Mr. Xu, please give us another chance. We will definitely handle this matter as quickly as possible. Mr. Xu..."

As I was talking, I realized something was wrong.

The whole person froze for a moment, and his neck slowly rose up as if it was rusty.

I just happened to meet Xu Shaoyu's gaze as if he was looking at a fool.

The technical manager instantly saw the doubt in his boss's eyes. His expression immediately changed from one of pity and grievance to tears of gratitude.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu. Our technical department will give you a satisfactory answer in two days."

Seeing Xu Shaoyu nod slightly, he quickly called out to several supervisors who were standing behind him like wooden men and hurried out of the president's office.

What if the boss suddenly realizes, changes his mind, and wants to fire him?

Even as they entered the elevator, the technical manager was still in disbelief. "When did Mr. Xu become so magnanimous?"

Supervisor Lao Liu whispered, "Maybe he's in a good mood today. I saw Mr. Xu smiling at his phone."

Another supervisor was a little unconvinced, "Lao Liu, are you dazzled?"

The fat supervisor, who had been silent the whole time, also expressed his disbelief.

"I've worked at Xu's for seven or eight years, and I can count the number of times I've seen Mr. Xu smile on the fingers of one hand. Are you sure he just smiled, and not just had a twitch in his mouth?"

Old Liu spread his hands and said, "If I wasn't in a good mood, how can I explain why Mr. Xu let us go so easily just now?"

"No matter what the reason, Mr. Xu has given us two days. We must solve the problem perfectly in these two days, otherwise we will all be fired."

The technical manager waved his hand and looked at several supervisors with a serious face.

During this period, several major projects were carried out intensively, and all employees of Xu Group were extremely busy, including the president Xu Shaoyu.

At eight o'clock in the evening, most employees left work one after another, but the president's office was still brightly lit.

Closing the folder in his hand and looking at the time, Xu Shaoyu stood up and said, "It's getting late. You should go back first."

Special Assistant Liu looked up suddenly, thinking he had misheard.

"Mr. Xu, there's a multinational meeting at nine o'clock."

Xu Shaoyu nodded, "I know, it's just a regular meeting, you don't need to follow."

"Didn't you say yesterday that you've been working a lot of overtime lately? Doesn't your girlfriend have any complaints?"

The black-hearted boss suddenly developed a conscience? This really caught Assistant Liu off guard.

Especially when I think of the photo in my phone, I feel even more guilty.

I quickly finished today's work and before leaving, I saw Xu Shaoyu sitting alone in the office, reading documents with a cup of coffee.

Finally, he couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience anymore and walked into the president's office again.

"Mr. Xu, there's something I've been thinking about all afternoon, and I think I should tell you about it."
