Chapter 21 Who Calmed the President's Anger?
As Gu Yulin entered the office, he saw a slender figure dart out in a flash.
He was somewhat surprised and looked at Lu Jingxiao with curiosity: "What's going on?"
Judging from that figure, isn't that Luo Zhiwei?
Lu Jingxiao gave Gu Yulin a cold look. Why did he show up for no reason? Didn't he know he had something important to do?
What are you doing here?
"Of course I'm here to watch the show." Gu Yulin looked at Lu Jingxiao with a mocking expression: "I heard you threw a tantrum at the company today?"
Although Lu Jingxiao's face was dark, his eyes and brows were not shrouded in gloom, which meant that he was probably in a good mood.
"You're overthinking it." Lu Jingxiao exuded an air of nobility in every gesture. He picked up his coffee cup with a showy air: "This coffee of mine is custom-made. Do you think you can get your hands on one?"
Gu Yulin reached out to grab it.
Needless to say, it was definitely Luo Zhiwei who made the coffee for him.
A cup of coffee is something to brag about.
He wanted to taste it to see if it was salty or bland.
This was coffee that Lu Jingxiao had been craving for a long time, so how could he possibly give it to Gu Yulin? He drank it all in one gulp, leaving not a drop for Gu Yulin.
After finishing the drink, they would even boast, "That's all, it's gone."
Gu Yulin almost laughed out of anger. He really wanted to slam his fists on Lu Jingxiao's head a few times and demand an answer:
Is it really necessary? Is it really necessary?!
It's just a cup of coffee, is it really that big of a deal?
"Hey, that's not fair of you. It's just a cup of coffee, would it kill me to try it? Don't forget, when we were kids we were..." (This last part is a bit awkward and doesn't translate directly.)
What's wrong with having some coffee?
"How can they be the same?"
Gu Yulin: "......"
What's the difference?
"Just because it's Miss Luo's coffee, does that make it different?"
Lu Jingxiao didn't speak, but that was enough to explain the situation.
It's just different.
Gu Yulin smiled playfully. He walked to the door, opened it a crack, and his gaze fell on Luo Zhiwei. He said gently, "Miss Luo, could you please make two more cups of coffee? Thank you."
He wanted to see just how memorable the coffee his ex-girlfriend's brew was.
Luo Zhiwei nodded slightly: "Okay, President Gu."
Gu Yulin: "Thank you."
Luo Zhiwei walked towards the tea room with a blank expression.
Not long after, Luo Zhiwei brought two cups of coffee to the office.
They are clearly two identical cups, but... Luo Zhiwei can tell them apart.
She handed the coffee on her left to Lu Jingxiao: "Mr. Lu, here's your coffee."
She placed the coffee in her right hand in front of Gu Yulin and said respectfully, "Mr. Gu, this is your coffee."
"Thanks."
Gu Yulin felt that his drink might not taste as good as Lu Jingxiao's, otherwise... why bother distinguishing between them?
Luo Zhiwei didn't linger in the office and left immediately. The moment she closed the door, a fierce battle ensued inside.
"No, I want to try yours."
"I won't give it to you, go drink yours!"
Two grown men nearly came to blows in the office over a cup of coffee.
Although it wasn't quite that exaggerated, Lu Jingxiao's determination to defend his coffee left Gu Yulin speechless.
In the end, Gu Yulin compromised: "Fine, I won't move, I'll drink my own."
He casually picked up his coffee cup and took a sip.
Nothing special, but... the coffee seemed different from what they usually drink.
"It's alright, but the coffee is different from what I usually drink."
Gu Yulin didn't know much about coffee; as long as it tasted good, that was fine with him.
They weren't the type to be particularly fond of or enthusiastic about coffee. They didn't know the exact water temperature, which brand to choose, or how to select the roasting method... It all seemed like a hassle.
This coffee from Kolozhiwei is truly unique. It has a rich coffee flavor, and the roasting method seems quite special, with a slightly sweet aftertaste.
He took another sip.
He suddenly understood something.
He thought all the coffee he drank was good, so... Luo Zhiwei's custom-made coffee must be even better.
No wonder Lu Jingxiao cared so much.
He sat casually opposite Lu Jingxiao: "Little San'er..."
"Get out." Lu Jingxiao's expression changed drastically: "How dare you shout like that!"
mistress.
Depend on!
Gu Yulin seemed to be doing it on purpose, his eyes gleaming with a sly look: "Isn't that right? You're third among us, and Miss Luo Zhiwei and Gu Beixiao have a long history. What's the difference between you and a mistress?"
Lu Jingxiao didn't speak, but silently finished his coffee, then casually placed his hand on the documents...
Gu Yulin glanced at Lu Jingxiao, as if waiting for his next move.
As soon as Lu Jingxiao moved his hand, he immediately stood up: "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first." He quickly moved to the door: "By the way, it's my old man's 80th birthday banquet, remember to bring your female companion."
After saying that, he happily pushed open the door.
He stood beside Luo Zhiwei, his eyes gentle, his expression calm, and his voice mild: "Miss Luo, your coffee is very good. Where did you buy your coffee beans?"
Luo Zhiwei told the truth, and then reminded him, "This is a very niche coffee bean brand. If President Gu likes it, there is an imported supermarket 200 meters to the left of Lu's. It has it there."
"Miss Luo, are you so sure?"
Luo Zhiwei nodded: "Yes, I just bought them. There are still some on the supermarket shelves."
"Okay, thank you. I'll go check it out in a bit."
Gu Yulin nodded slightly to Luo Zhiwei and then left the company.
**
In the afternoon, there was an internal meeting.
In the conference room, the supervisors and managers were all on tenterhooks.
They had all heard that the president was in a terrible mood that morning, and he didn't even calm down; he even cursed at the dogs that passed by.
I don't think they'll have a good day today either.
Some people are even so afraid that they have begun to prepare their resignations.
Who could withstand President Lu's anger?
But... during the afternoon meeting, the president was very easy to talk to, and every proposal went smoothly. Even if someone was not satisfied with a proposal, he would give their feedback directly.
Everyone was completely dumbfounded.
This is different from what others have described.
Especially since there were managers among them who had experienced a 'gunfire' that morning, they felt like they had encountered a ghost.
After the meeting, the entire conference room was filled with a bewildered expression.
I don't even know what to say anymore.
No one left; instead, they silently opened their phones and went to their respective group chats.
[What's going on? The CEO was so gentle today, why are you all saying he was fierce?]
[What happened? Doesn't the CEO's temper usually last for two days? Why is he fine so quickly today?]
I really want to ask, what does everything I went through this morning even mean? o(╥﹏╥)o.
Entering the CEO's office this morning felt like stepping into the coldest place in the world. His anger created a rollercoaster of emotions, and now you're saying he's gentle? What about my morning's experience?
"Well, you're just unlucky then."
[I'm just curious about one thing: who appeased the CEO? You know, even securing the toughest deal doesn't calm him down.]
Seeing their discussion in the group chat, Wei Mingfeng acted as if a god had descended: "Stop guessing, it's all thanks to Miss Luo Zhiwei. Without her... we'd be in big trouble today..."
