Chapter 15 Chapter 15 The slender and powerful legs were...
That night, Sheng Baili accompanied Lu Zhouyan to attend a dinner with the chairman of Akabane Group.
Sheng Baili didn't know what the taboos were at dinner parties, so he searched a lot on Baidu in advance.
In the car, she asked Lu Zhouyan: "Boss, do you need me to help you with the drinking later?"
Lu Zhouyan glanced at her and asked in a calm voice, "Can you?"
[Host, the male protagonist doesn't believe in your ability, we have to prove to him that you are an all-round secretary who has both the ability and the looks! ]
"Mr. Lu, please believe in my ability." Sheng Baili said.
"Okay," Lu Zhouyan nodded without comment.
Xiao Chi, who was driving in front, reminded him, "Secretary Sheng, please keep an eye on the boss and don't let him get drunk."
"If you get drunk and make mistakes, you won't be able to have a say in the business world," Koike said.
"I understand." Sheng Baili nodded thoughtfully.
[General Lu's safety depends entirely on you, Xiao Baili. ]
"Assistant Chi, are you participating too?" Secretary Sheng asked.
"No," Xiaochi said. "President Lu has entrusted the overseas branch's affairs to me, and I've been quite busy recently. But fortunately, you are here for me. President Lu now has another reliable and trusted aide, and I can rest assured."
Xiao Chi said this and smiled with relief again.
Sheng Baili: “….”
Or you should worry about it.
The black car drove to the entrance of the hotel and stopped. Xiao Chi got out of the car, walked around the left side where Lu Zhouyan was, walked to the right, and opened the door for Sheng Baili.
"Ladies first. Secretary Sheng, please get out of the car." Xiao Chi bent down slightly, put his left hand on the handlebar, and said softly to Sheng Baili.
[Good, what a service-minded assistant.] Haicha felt a sense of crisis again.
[We can’t let him steal the spotlight in front of the male lead! ] Haicha said.
Sheng Baili thought it made sense, so he got out of the car gracefully and stood behind Xiaochi. He put his left hand on his waist and stretched his right hand to the side. He also bent slightly, and copied the same upward arc of Assistant Chi's mouth. He said softly, "Although Mr. Lu is a man, he should not lag behind. Please get out of the car as soon as possible."
Lu Zhouyan, who was sitting in the car: "......"
Later, the chairman and secretary of Akabane Group saw this scene and were surprised.
"Is Lu Zhouyan's trip such a grand affair?" asked the chairman.
"President Lu has a cold and serious personality, and most people cannot easily approach him. However, it is rumored that the management of the Lu Group is extremely flat. Now it seems that this may be a rumor." The secretary replied.
"It seems like a tough nut to crack." The chairman's face became more serious. "If we can't continue the conversation with President Lu, we can start with his secretary and give him a few times more money to get inside information."
"When people get drunk, they tend to make mistakes," said the chairman.
"Understood." The secretary replied.
The people from the Akabane Group entered the private room first.
After Lu Zhouyan got out of the car, Sheng Baili followed behind him, looking like a sensible secretary.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, Sheng Baili asked the waiter next to him, "Hello, do you have any water? Give me a glass."
"Okay," said the waiter.
Lu Zhouyan: "What's wrong, thirsty?"
"The midsummer heat is hard to get rid of, and the early autumn is dry and hot. In order to protect your throat and mine, we need a glass of water," said Secretary Sheng.
Lu Zhouyan rolled his eyes at her and without saying anything else, he walked into the private room and exchanged a few polite words with the people from the Akabane Group.
"This secretary looks unfamiliar? I wonder who she is..." the chairman asked tentatively.
The Lu family has the habit of bringing their family members into the company, so he has to find out more about them first and understand their background.
"This is Secretary Sheng," Lu Zhouyan said. "I'm a top student from S University. I just started working here in the past two days and I'm not very familiar with the business. If there's anything I didn't do well, please forgive me, Mr. Meng."
"Oh!" Mr. Meng said, "You are from S University. Not bad. You and General Lu are alumni. What a connection. Secretary Sheng, come here. Let me toast you."
Secretary Sheng raised his glass and clinked it with Mr. Meng's, then he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, imitating the adults.
"Hahahahahaha." Director Meng laughed, "Secretary Sheng has a good alcohol tolerance."
"No." Lu Zhouyan pushed the secretary who stood up to drink back to her seat, "You still have a lot to learn..."
As they chatted, the topic gradually became formal, and the president and the director had a harmonious and friendly discussion on the cooperation in the development of new products.
"This is the first cooperation between Akabane and Lu's company, and hopefully it won't be the last. What do you think about the profit sharing, Mr. Lu?" asked Mr. Meng.
Lu Zhouyan smiled, but did not answer directly. He threw the question back: "That depends on Akabane's sincerity."
Mr. Meng: “….”
Mr. Meng continued, "It's 50-50. It's up to Mr. Lu to decide. Akabane will be responsible for the marketing and publicity in the later stages. I believe Mr. Lu knows our marketing capabilities and will never let anyone down."
"Mr. Meng may not know this." Secretary Sheng said, "Lu Group's marketing capabilities are not bad either."
"Oh?" Mr. Meng said.
"Not long ago, our CEO Lu officially announced his engagement. As soon as the news came out, it quickly topped the trending search list and the discussion lasted for a long time. Major media outlets blocked the company's doors." Sheng Baili said, "Our CEO Lu himself is the focus of attention and the center of the topic."
Mr. Meng: “….”
Lu Zhouyan: ""
Lu Zhouyan coughed lightly and rejected the request for a 50-50 split, saying that cooperation required a 40-60 split.
"Zhou Yan, I saw you when you were a kid." Director Meng played the emotional card and started to build a relationship. "You were young at the time and went to equestrian lessons alone. You rode a pony. I don't know if it was because of your technique or because you were too strong, but the horse went crazy and you fell off."
Mr. Meng recalled the past: "I was the one who asked someone to help you up."
"Although you refused at a young age, you stood up on your own," said Mr. Meng.
Lu Zhouyan: “.”
Sheng Baili: “….”
Phew, so funny. The male protagonist was quite stupid when he was a child.
Mr. Meng is much older than Lu Zhouyan. As he gets older, he can’t control his memories once they start to come back.
"Another time," Mr. Meng said, "at your 8th birthday party."
"I don't know who gave you a valuable breed dog. It looked majestic and handsome. You liked it very much. When you saw the dog, you reached out to touch it. But the dog was very fierce and bared its teeth at you. Everyone around was laughing. The servant who was holding the dog didn't hold the leash, so the dog chased you, barking. You must have been scared and ran very fast."
The more Mr. Meng recalled, the more he wanted to laugh. "I guess you wanted to find your mother, but you mistook her for your mother. You hugged Mrs. Zhang's thigh and thought she was your mother. Your face was wrinkled. You were quite cute when you were little, but you looked like you were about to cry."
"But your parents were not at home at the time. Luckily, the dog was caught by the servant who rushed over. It was a false alarm."
Lu Zhouyan: “=.=”
[Wow, the male protagonist is so miserable, he was even chased by a dog.] Sheng Baili looked at Lu Zhouyan with a bit more pity in his eyes.
"I heard that you never got a dog afterwards? Were you scared to death by that incident?" Mr. Meng teased.
Lu Zhouyan: "......"
"Mr. Meng, I've reconsidered it and feel that Lu's expenses for this cooperation are relatively high, so a 30:70 split might be better."
“.......”
Mr. Meng was confused.
What's going on? Why are you being so rude to your elders?
Seeing that the situation was not good, the secretary quickly poured wine to ease the atmosphere, "Come, Mr. Lu, this is the best white wine, please try it."
Lu Zhouyan took a sip.
It's really delicious, but the alcohol content is a bit high. Lu Zhouyan frowned slightly, which was noticed by the attentive Secretary Sheng.
"Excuse me, Mr. Lu," said Mr. Meng.
He was shocked and needed to go outside to think of new countermeasures.
"I'll excuse myself and go to the bathroom." said Mr. Meng's secretary.
Lu Zhouyan: “Yeah.”
The private room suddenly became deserted. This was a good opportunity. Seeing this, Sheng Baili picked up the bottle of water that the waiter had prepared for her.
"What are you going to do?" Lu Zhouyan saw the secretary acting sneaky and even picking up his wine glass, and asked in confusion.
"Protect General Lu's safety," Secretary Sheng said.
"......"
She was just a secretary, there was no way she could stir up any trouble. Lu Zhouyan lowered his head and continued to read the contract without paying any more attention.
Sheng Baili continued his actions.
Lu Zhouyan could only hear the sound of water splashing in his ears.
Not long after, Mr. Meng and his secretary came back one after another.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, Mr. Lu," said Mr. Meng.
"Here, this white wine tastes good, let's have another drink." Director Meng raised his glass.
Lu Zhouyan raised his eyes, picked up the wine glass that was taken away by the secretary, and clinked glasses with Mr. Meng.
Something was wrong. Absolutely wrong.
Lu Zhouyan's eyes twitched.
"Mr. Lu, why is there white smoke coming out of your wine glass?" the secretary asked in surprise.
Director Meng also frowned in confusion, "What's going on? Did Mr. Lu drink fake wine?"
Mr. Meng: "How can there be such a high-concentration liquor in the world?"
Lu Zhouyan: "......"
What did that troublemaker Sheng Baili pour into his wine?
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
At the critical moment, Sheng Baili came out to save the situation, "Mr. Lu took the wrong cup, this is the cup I use to drink hot water." Sheng Baili said.
As she spoke, she quickly poured another glass of wine and handed it to Lu Zhouyan, and at the same time swiftly snatched back the glass of white wine with water added from Lu Zhouyan's hand.
What is this waiter doing? Why did he give her boiled water?
What she wants is white water!
[It's over, Xiao Baili, you messed up again.] Haicha felt bad.
[It's okay, no one cares, I'm just a small secretary.] Sheng Baili said.
As soon as the heart sound fell, Director Meng's sharp eyes shot over.
"Secretary Sheng, this is not very authentic." Director Meng said, "We are drinking wine, why are you drinking boiled water?"
As he said this, he gave his secretary a look, and the secretary handed Sheng Baili a full glass of wine.
"Come on, Secretary Sheng, I'll toast you a glass."
Sheng Baili: “…”
She had nowhere to hide or retreat, so she turned to look at her boss, only to see him looking at her coldly, with no intention of helping her at all.
Well, it seems I can only rely on myself.
Sheng Baili tentatively drank half the cup in one gulp.
Yue, it tastes so bad.
White wine tastes much worse than red wine!
President Meng saw Secretary Sheng was so generous and decided not to pursue the matter and continued to negotiate the contract with Lu Zhouyan.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Sheng Baili secretly hid the wine glass with half a glass of wine left under the tablecloth.
Sitting on her left was Lu Zhouyan, and on her right was Secretary Meng.
Sheng Baili thought about it and gently tilted the wine glass to the left.
The wine was poured out bit by bit, and Sheng Baili felt the weight in his hands gradually lighten, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
The white wine tastes too bad, she doesn't want to drink it.
Eat, eat. Eating is the most delicious.
Sheng Baili picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes he liked, and ate them happily.
?
Why does Lu Zhouyan look at her in a strange way?
Sheng Baili felt the boss's cold eyes with a hint of suppressed anger. He tilted his head and said with his eyes: What's wrong, boss?
Half a second later, Sheng Baili's cell phone buzzed. It was a message from Lu Zhou.
What are you talking about? I'm right next to you.
Is there some secret mission that I need to carry out myself?
Thinking of this, Sheng Baili suddenly felt a little nervous. On her first day as a secretary, she had worked diligently and conscientiously and took good care of Lu Zhouyan. Now she was facing a new challenge.
She believed that with her own abilities, she should be able to complete the task assigned by Lu Zhouyan well.
With an uneasy heart, Sheng Baili opened the boss's chat window.
[1: You can't hold it anymore? Are you peeing in public?]
【1: You made my pants wet. 】
[1: [Smile][Smile]]
Sheng Baili: “…”
