Chapter 117 Is it funny?
The company has a cafeteria, and the meals for employees are cheap and delicious. You can eat as much as you want for 20 yuan, provided you don’t waste food. It is self-service.
Although Zhou Qing was a temporary employee, he was capable and good-looking. The Human Resources Department was originally considering whether to provide meals for these new recruits, but when Zhou Qing sent back the documents, they were immediately amazed. Their hands trembled slightly as they stamped the documents and approved the standards for employee meals for them.
The newcomers were extremely grateful to Zhou Qing for this. Most of them were poor students who had just graduated and had little money. This twenty-yuan lunch was a timely relief.
Zhou Qing stood tall and straight, causing a commotion as he appeared at the restaurant door. He held his meal tray and lowered his head to listen to a new intern. The wrinkles between his eyelids were like a lake full of spring water, with warm ripples spreading out, making people linger.
There are many handsome men in the Yu Group, but it is rare to see one this handsome. He is less of a stereotyped elitist and more of a clear and peaceful one, instantly pulling people back to the stunning glimpse of him on a warm afternoon in his student days. In the words of a female director, "Zhou Qing is a beauty that time cannot bear to defeat." On the other hand, the eldest brother of the Yu family is just handsome. Everyone says behind his back that he and Manager Yu do not look like they were born from the same mother. Although Yu Ze is good-looking, anyone who has experienced it will know the thundering tactics under his warm smile. He can only fool newcomers who don't understand the market, so Zhou Qing instantly meets the needs of many people who love beauty.
Zhou Qing didn't eat with the interns he was close to. He went to the vegetarian section and had a plate of greens and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, along with half a bowl of rice. A brave girl passed by and joked with him, "Handsome Zhou, are you losing weight?"
Zhou Qing just nodded without explaining.
In just one morning, he became a celebrity in the Yu family.
Thinking this, Yu Ze walked into the restaurant, and suddenly a bunch of people stood up and shouted "Manager".
Yu Ze waved his hand to signal them to do as they pleased. He first took a look at the noodle area, then ordered a portion of sweet and sour pork ribs, a portion of fish head, and finally a portion of vegetarian dishes and soup without much interest. After ordering, Yu Ze found a random seat to sit down, which happened to be at the table next to Zhou Qing.
The two of them ate in silence, and gradually, their area was cleared out. It was not for any other reason, but because they felt glowing inexplicably staying there. Besides, beauties look better when they are put together, and the intrusion of others who are not of the same level will destroy the overall beauty.
Yu Ze accidentally glanced at the size of Zhou Qing's lunch and frowned slightly. Just then, his assistant sent a message mentioning the meeting tomorrow morning. Yu Ze responded and typed to ask, "Don't interns and temporary workers get cafeteria meal allowances?"
The assistant replied after half a minute, probably going to check with someone: [Some managers.]
Since there is a meal allowance, why eat so little to feed the cat? Thinking of this, I can't help but think of another glutton who develops in the opposite direction - Xuanzhe's favorite, Wen, who can sit at the table for half an hour without looking up.
The phone vibrated. Yu Ze glanced at it and saw it was from his assistant: [Manager Yu, can I take half a day off tomorrow? My mother is in the hospital and I’m really worried about her. I’ll be back at noon!] She spoke in a humble tone. She was a young girl with great drive. Yu Ze had found an excuse to send her away because she was Yu Fang’s spy. He then concentrated on thinking about the meeting list for tomorrow morning.
They are all in the real estate industry. Unlike Quan Yi, Yu’s is not an entertainment company.
Yuze replied: [Yes, that’s fine.]
The assistant expressed his gratitude and said a lot, but Yu Ze closed his phone and did not answer.
Wait... Yu Ze chewed it over slowly, thinking that there was basically no problem with this deal. To put it bluntly, it was just to accompany the partners for dinner and drinks, and then brag about the future. However, when he heard that a joint building was to be built and a professional architectural master was invited, and one of the ministers did not agree with him, Yu Ze's mind raced, and his entire attention was focused on the table next to him. He remembered that Zhou Qing said that he was majoring in two subjects at S University, one of which was architecture.
As if the final weight had suddenly fallen on the scales, the assistant sent a message: "Manager, one of our new temporary hires is incredibly talented. I've asked friends in the industry about their relevant achievements, and they're incredibly valuable. I'm not very knowledgeable, and if I go to see Director Li tomorrow, he'll definitely accuse us at Yu's of not understanding the market. It's better to bring that intern with you to help out."
"An extra part-time job, are you interested?" Yu Ze said.
Zhou Qing raised his head and pointed at himself after a moment: "Me?"
"Yes, we'll have a dinner tomorrow morning after the meeting. There will be construction professionals there. I hope you can apply your expertise, combined with the terminology they use, to give me a rough estimate," Yu Ze continued. "I'll give you a separate subsidy."
This was a very high requirement. Any mistake would lead to a huge deviation from the expected result. However, Zhou Qing did not hesitate and nodded in response, "Okay."
Perhaps he was too calm, and Yu Ze's mischievous attitude came to the fore. "If you don't do well, leave immediately."
Zhou Qing's eyes were clear, revealing all his thoughts. However, he was not angry either, and said in a gentle voice, "Of course."
The next morning, Zhou Qing took the bus to the company, an hour earlier than the time given by Yu Ze. He was worried that he would miss the date in case of any emergency. He was drinking soy milk in the restaurant when he received a message from Wen Shuang.
The two had exchanged contact information since their last meeting in the flower garden. Zhou Qing also had Tang Weisheng's WeChat account, but they had never contacted each other. However, he would chat with Wen Shuang from time to time.
The text message mentioned that the two flowers given to Tan's mother had died again... Wen Shuang immediately sent an emoticon with a waxy look, asking Zhou Qing if he had any stronger ones that could bloom, last forever, and were still green.
Zhou Qing searched quickly in his mind and promised to give him a few new flower seedlings in a month. He took the time to take a sip of soy milk, and white stains formed a circle around his lips. The young man subconsciously licked it with his tongue, and at the same time he felt something falling on his face. He looked up and met Yu Ze's cold eyes.
Zhou Qing has always been a man of integrity. Although he has only been in love once, his sharp eyes for judging people did not work on Yu Ze. He tried countless times but could not confirm whether Yu Ze was in the same circle. He seemed to have no interest in men...
"Manager Yu." Zhou Qing stood up, feeling lucky that he had come early. He saw that Yu Ze had arrived early.
"Yeah." Yu Ze nodded, walked around Zhou Qing's table and went to the order window, ordering a cup of black coffee and a piece of toast without any sauce.
The positions where the two of them sat were exactly the same as yesterday, just in a different place. It was as if there was some monster in the middle corridor that could kill them if they sat together.
Yu Ze was checking documents while eating toast. To Zhou Qing, black coffee was similar to Chinese medicine, but he swallowed it without changing his expression.
"What's going on? Manager Yu has already eaten at the company for two meals in a row!"
“What a miracle!”
Two little girls walked past him lightly, stepping carefully in their high heels. They spoke in low voices, but Zhou Qing still heard them.
After the surroundings quieted down, Zhou Qing spoke: "Manager Yu, I will go with you later, or I will be busy in the Finance Department first."
"Let's leave after this meal." Yu Ze didn't even raise his head. If you didn't know him, you would think he was negotiating a big deal worth hundreds of millions.
Yu Ze was watching intently and didn't realize Zhou Qing was coming over.
One meter away, Zhou Qing was stunned. The picture on Yu Ze's phone was extremely clear. In fact, his eyes were very useful as long as it was not a pitch-black environment. For example, the lard noodles that slid past continuously had different shapes, but the similarity was that they all had chopped green onions added. Under the filter, they looked a bit unreal. Zhou Qing wanted to say that he could not produce that kind of effect.
But then, alarm bells rang in his heart, and he looked away the moment Yu Ze looked at him. A layer of cold sweat ran down his back, but his face remained calm.
Zhou Qing asked softly: "I also want a fried dough stick, where is Manager Yu?"
Yu Ze had already closed the phone screen. "No, go ahead. We still have 20 minutes to eat."
Because of this look, Zhou Qing almost ate too much.
Yu Ze from the Finance Department personally greeted them. After dinner, they went straight to the parking lot. They both sat in the back of the car. The temperature was just right. Zhou Qing thought about it and couldn't help but send a message to Wen Shuang: [Mr. Wen, have you ever met someone with a huge contrast?]
The person over there was probably holding their phone, and they replied quickly: "Just call me Wen Shuang! I see the contrast every day." Wen Shuang had no sense of keeping secrets. Besides her own ceiling, she'd try to trick anyone she could find: "Tang Weisheng, you've seen it. Isn't that amazing? He's obsessed with SpongeBob. He's got all the merchandise, figurines, tapes, posters, everything. He even has a room dedicated to it. If anyone dares to say anything bad about SpongeBob, he'll fight them to death! Why did they fight at the amusement park last time? Wasn't it because he said the lard noodles were unpalatable, and Yuze called SpongeBob ugly? How childish!"
Zhou Qing: […So Yuze really likes lard noodles]
Wen Shuang: [It should be the level of being killed by it. Anyway, I don’t understand these people’s preferences.]
After Wen Shuang finished speaking, she pressed the jelly system lying on the pillow against her chest and felt that this position was much more comfortable.
It's worth mentioning that the system was visibly growing larger. This wasn't because it ate anything, but rather because it absorbed energy from Wen Shuang. The system finally understood why some Tongzi never met a "child of luck" in their entire lives. It was truly rare! This endless supply of energy alone was enough to complete the mission of five hundred worlds!
Zhou Qing put down his phone, not knowing what he was thinking about, and suddenly smiled softly with his hands covering his lips.
His movements were shallow, but Yu Ze had strong insight. He turned his head and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Zhou Qing: "No, I just heard something interesting."
"I'm in a bad mood. Tell me if you have anything interesting to say." Yu Ze didn't intend to let him go.
Zhou Qing: “…”
Zhou Qing took a breath and said, "Wen Shuang just told me that yesterday, Mr. Tan Li and a newly bought SpongeBob SquarePants doll fell into the swimming pool at home at the same time. Mr. Tang dived in and fished out the doll first."
Yu Ze: “…Is it funny?”
Zhou Qing nodded and said, "It's funny." The reason you don't think it's funny is that there is a high probability that you would make the same choice.
Zhou Qing was not making this up, this incident actually happened yesterday. Wen Shuang sent out five lines of "hahahaha" to express that she was laughing so hard that she was out of breath. It was said that Tan Li was so shocked that he stood in the water to argue with Tang Weisheng. In such weather, it was no surprise that he caught a cold.
