86 interns
◎ Or you can learn it too. ◎
"I asked you to treat the relevant officials from the China Securities Regulatory Commission to dinner. Have you set a date? We're having that lousy meeting again next month. Those old bastards keep saying I'm a badass. I'll see if I can't drink them to death this time..."
Liang Jingyi lowered her head and flipped through the folder, her tone cold, and her high heels made a teeth-grinding sound on the marble floor.
"Don't worry, President Jing. We've prepared everything we need. The meeting is scheduled for this weekend evening. Let's go half an hour early." The secretary quickly reassured her, whispering, "Anyway, with President Liang leading the charge, Yixing Securities' core clients are basically familiar with you now, so the board of directors won't have much influence."
"If you dare to stretch out, I'll chop you off. Who are you trying to show off to every day? You old fool, do you think saying a few more words to me will speed up your reincarnation?"
Liang Jingyi spoke without any politeness. He pressed his fingerprint with a terrifying momentum and entered the office, but saw an unexpected person.
She was stunned, swallowing the curse stuck in her throat and replacing it with: "...Why are you here?"
Liang Youwei approached her with a smile, her hands behind her back. "I'm done with work. Can't I come up to see you? It's almost time to get off work anyway."
The secretary took in Liang Youwei's face, and something clicked in her mind. She gave a slightly awkward smile, "Mr. Jing, Mr. Wei, I'll be leaving first then."
"Yeah. Close the door."
Liang Jingyi was quite dignified in front of her subordinates, but as soon as her secretary left, she became uncomfortable and lowered her voice: "Zhiliang has a new product recently. Aren't you busy?"
"They don't expect me to do any work. They just hope I don't get involved at all." Liang Youwei shrugged, not caring at all.
Liang Jingyi was choked by her frankness: "...Oh."
Liang Youwei was dissatisfied with her reaction: "You just said 'oh'? It's been so long since we last met, don't you miss me?"
Before her brain could even come up with any instructions, Liang Jingyi had already grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the specially prepared maternity chair, which came with extra lumbar support.
She explained in a low voice: "It's not that I don't want to. I've just been too busy lately."
She wasn't lying. The group's current revenue growth was inextricably linked to its securities-related departments. While finance was risky, it also offered countless opportunities. Liang Zhihui had put in a lot of effort to get her to stay at Yixing Securities as general manager, and Liang Jingyi was definitely not going to waste this opportunity.
As for Liang Jingyi personally, since she officially took office, she has been in a highly tense period for at least fourteen hours out of the twenty-four hours a day. Every day she is watching the market, holding meetings, dealing with project progress, approving documents, and attending various dinners and meetings. She has no time to rest.
Liang Youwei didn't understand the specific process, but before seeing negative evidence, she would trust her partner 100%, and this time was no exception.
"No wonder you seem thinner every time I see you... Jingyi, are you going to work overtime tonight?"
If she still had to work overtime, I could only deliver dinner and then leave with honor.
Liang Jingyi looked at his watch and said, "Not tonight. After I get off work on time, I'll just go over tomorrow's meeting materials before going to bed. But Liang Youwei, it's not time to get off work yet. I have to approve several more projects. You can sit down and play for a while."
She opened the drawer of the mahogany cabinet, took out the personal tablet and a pair of cat-shaped headphones, and placed them all next to Liang Youwei.
"If possible, could you please pick a restaurant for half an hour?"
Liang Youwei chuckled, expertly inputting the date of their first meeting, and unlocked the tablet: "Now you're still saying the word 'trouble' to me."
Liang Jingyi tapped her forehead, neither lightly nor heavily: "Yes, after all, it's been so long since we last met, I'm being polite."
"So, shall I set the scope first? I came to work these past two days and saw that there's a new delicious restaurant opened downstairs next door."
The characteristic of a good meal is that it is rich in meat and fruit, and Liang Jingyi likes to eat meat. More importantly, if the other dishes are not good, you can directly ask the restaurant to serve hamburgers and steaks.
Let’s make sure this picky eater is well fed first.
"Don't go to that place, the food is not good." Unexpectedly, Liang Jingyi rejected this restaurant. She had already sat back in her seat, put on her glasses and looked at the computer. "A few days ago, a girl from a group brought me some food. The taste was just average, barely enough to fill my stomach."
Liang Youwei looked at her puzzledly: "Why would you ask a worker to buy fast food for you, Jingyi? This is not your style."
Liang Jingyi has the most unkind words in the world, but she is actually a very good boss with a lot of basic empathy. She will never let her employees do trivial things outside of work.
Liang Jingyi slid the mouse, nonchalantly saying, "I didn't bother her. She bought her own lunch and brought one for me."
"Oh. Then what other restaurant can we book? You can't get used to French food, and you hate German sausages. How about that Russian place? The one we went to last time?"
Liang Jingyi held up his chin and said, "It's all right. I have no objection if you take me to a buffet hot pot. However, hygiene issues are still worthy of attention. I suggest you choose a large restaurant."
"Well, if all else fails, let's just go with McDonald's."
Liang Youwei was so overwhelmed by the choices that she just mentioned the names of the fast food.
McDonald's?
Liang Jingyi sneered inexplicably: "If I let you eat McDonald's today, Big Brother and Qin Zhen will come to my place and go crazy tomorrow. Forget it, let's go with Russian food."
Liang Jingyi always only considers Liang Youwei's thoughts and never cares about the life or death of the embryo in her belly.
The person coughed twice and said, "God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know, they won't know. Besides, this is what I want to eat, what does it have to do with you?"
"Because they're cowards and don't dare to get angry with you. Oh, there's another possibility - they'll pretend until after you give birth."
Liang Jingyi deliberately lengthened his tone to intimidate her.
Liang Youwei chuckled and blurted out subconsciously: "Isn't it enough for me to have you? If they don't want to pretend, then don't pretend."
As soon as she said this, she was stunned.
Liang Jingyi's fingers also paused obviously, but in an instant, they returned to normal and did not respond to these words, as if he did not hear them.
For the next half hour, the two of them did their own things.
…
"I'm going to the bathroom, please turn off the power."
After finishing the last part, Liang Jingyi stretched and gave Liang Youwei some instructions.
The other party yawned: "Well, go to hell." Yixing's power supply devices should be similar, so it shouldn't be difficult to find them.
Not long after Liang Jingyi entered the bathroom and locked the door, there was a knock on the door of the big office. Liang Youwei didn't think much and said without turning her head: "Come in."
"Mr. Jing! I just wrote a really great manuscript. Sister Liang and the others all said it was great after reading it!"
A surprised female voice sounded, but stopped abruptly when she saw Liang Youwei.
Liang Youwei turned around, looking at the strange yet vaguely familiar face, feeling bewildered: "Um... are you going to report on your work? But Jingyi is about to get off work, otherwise, why don't you send her a message?"
It was obvious that the girl did not know Liang Youwei. Seeing a stranger suddenly appear in her boss's office, she subconsciously took two steps back to protect the cabinet of private documents.
Liang Youwei was amused by her behavior: "My last name is Liang, and I'm Mr. Jing's sister, not an outsider."
The girl blushed instantly, her pupils dilated slightly, and her voice stuttered a little: "Sorry, I, I didn't think that much... Um, I don't know how to address you?"
"My name is Liang Youwei. I work at Zhiliang. It's time to get off work now. You can just call me Miss Liang." She was curious, "Don't you know me?"
When she married Shao Yue, her wedding photos were played on screens in several buildings of Yixing, and everyone in the company had seen her face.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Liang. I'm an intern who's been here for the past two months. I'm not very familiar with the group's affairs and personnel. I'm sorry, sorry..."
"Hey, I don't mean to blame you. I'm just curious. It's okay, it's okay." Seeing her acting like she was facing a great enemy, Liang Youwei wanted to laugh even more. It felt so good to bully an honest and cute girl. "By the way, is there something urgent that you're here to report?"
The girl said shyly: "No, I'm just used to reporting to Mr. Jing."
Liang Youwei suggested: "How about waiting until tomorrow? Or you can email her directly tonight and she'll read it before bed. I'll remind her."
A bedtime reminder? The girl was stunned and asked in surprise: "Miss Liang... do you sisters sleep together?"
"Of course." Liang Youwei was also surprised when she was suddenly asked this question.
"Yi Wen, what's the matter again?" Liang Jingyi just came out of the bathroom. She threw the hand towel into the trash can casually and asked very skillfully.
The girl named Yi Wen blushed and said embarrassedly: "Nothing... I just wrote a new manuscript, the one you need next week..."
Liang Jingyi raised his hand and took his suit jacket: "Mail it to me in the evening. It's time to get off work now." Only ghosts like to stay in the company.
Seeing this, Liang Youwei quickly stopped her: "No, no, no, wear this!"
Liang Jingyi looked over in confusion and saw Liang Youwei take out a "packing bag" from her mini tote bag, and then... took out a sun-protective clothing?
"—Are you ill?"
Liang Youwei smiled and said, "I don't have any. Didn't I tell you before that I would send you clothes in the future? In spring I'll send you windbreakers, and in summer I'll only send you sun-protective clothes. Can you try them on, please?"
“…”
Liang Jingyi was silent for a while, then stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."
Yi Wen, who was watching, was stunned.
What did she see? Mr. Jing had chosen a ridiculous shirt and sunscreen outfit? And he had even just been coquettish? But she was clearly someone who paid great attention to quality and aesthetics, even the way she wore jewelry had her own style and obsessions.
A strange and indescribable emotion surged up in her, and she slowly backed away: "Boss Jing, I'll leave first then?"
Liang Jingyi was too embarrassed to face his colleagues at this moment, so he suppressed his blush and nodded softly: "Yeah."
The company staff hadn't left yet, and Liang Jingyi, unwilling to endure the surprised stares along the way, simply put on a suit over her sunscreen jacket. She frantically adjusted the lining in front of the mirror, trying not to show the pink sunscreen under her gray suit, which made the instigator laugh like crazy.
"Still laughing." She poked her forehead and rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Liang Youwei didn't care: "Can't people laugh at you? Disgusting. And Jingyi, who was that girl just now? You are now going deep into the grassroots? Even the interns trust you so much."
"Maybe it's because I'm pretty." Liang Jingyi smiled wryly, adjusting his collar with one hand in a strangely frivolous manner. "After all, it's not common to have a boss who's generous, smart, and a good person. Is it abnormal for her to like me?"
It was just a casual question, but when she heard Liang Jingyi's tone, Liang Youwei's face suddenly became serious. Her expression was stern, and she called out her name solemnly: "Liang Jingyi, are you thinking of that little girl in the second year of high school?"
A high school sophomore? A little girl?
Catching the strange keywords, Liang Jingyi was stunned. After struggling to dig out the relevant information from the depths of her brain, her pupils trembled and she looked over in shock: "You actually remember what I said during the New Year? Liang Youwei, are you serious?"
Liang Youwei's eyes widened: "What's true or false? I'm asking you, are you still thinking about that school girl?"
Liang Jingyi was speechless: "How is that possible? I have forgotten what she looks like."
At that time, she wanted money more than so-called sincerity.
Liang Youwei pressed on: "What about her? What do you mean by saying you're popular with others?"
"It's just what it means. What else can it mean?" Liang Jingyi has been dizzy with work these past few months. Now, hearing Liang Youwei's "unreasonable tantrums" makes him even more annoyed. "I just said it casually. You don't need to take it seriously."
Before meeting Liang Youwei, Liang Jingyi always thought that she was an asexual pure hate warrior. Now that she has realized her own feelings, of course she will only like Liang Youwei forever.
The other person's tone made her very unhappy. Who was he questioning for no reason? She had never cared about her, had she? No, she had cared, but it was useless.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
"Liang Jingyi! What's the difference between what you just said and what those scumbags on the Internet said?" Liang Youwei was completely furious and was so angry that she wanted to stomp her feet.
Liang Jingyi consciously put on her mini trash bag and snorted, "Wrong. I'm a woman, calling you a scumbag."
There is a difference between men and women when it comes to being a scumbag or not. Only psychopaths want to be men. They are a bunch of low-class people whose brains are controlled by their cerebellums and can only accept one-sided information.
"Liang Jingyi!"
Liang Youwei went crazy.
"exist."
The scumbag doesn't care.
The two men left the office, still chattering.
"I hate you!"
"Do you think I don't hate you?"
"I don't want to eat with you anymore, huh!"
"Impossible. It's my turn today. Did you forget the contract?"
"How dare you say that? It's obvious that you took advantage of my unconsciousness to trick me into signing it!"
"Oh. Any evidence?"
Entering the dedicated elevator for high-rise buildings, Liang Jingyi raised his eyebrows and pressed the button for the third underground floor.
Liang Youwei was shocked by her shamelessness and could only keep saying "You!"
The other party didn't respond, saying to himself: "Don't scream. Save your energy for night."
"You big pervert..."
"What are you pretending for? You just like being perverted."
…
"So, you've been sulking about this until now?"
After listening to the entire thing, Zhao Lingyu felt mixed emotions. She didn't know whether to feel jealous or lament Liang Youwei's immaturity. She had listened to the censored version, stopping only at the "literal meaning" part.
Even though she is a "rival in love", Zhao Lingyu cannot deny Liang Jingyi's many advantages - such as "loyalty".
Take her for example, even if she is sure that she only likes Liang Youwei, she will still look at other beautiful women, watch some non-borderline beauty videos, and will not hesitate to praise beauties.
But Liang Jingyi is not.
She doesn't care about anyone in the world, whether male or female, and is extremely devoted to them, as if everyone in the world, except Liang Youwei, shares the same face. When others say someone is beautiful, they truly feel so, but when Liang Jingyi says "pretty" or "good-looking," it's almost always because she thinks it's a way of praising them.
As for how Zhao Lingyu knew... because she would stare at Liang Jingyi's face, but the other party never looked at her directly, although she had praised her beauty more than once.
So, why did Liang Youwei have the illusion that "Liang Jingyi was having an affair with his employees"?
The girl, who didn't know how to appreciate her good fortune, hugged her shoulders and snorted: "Isn't this worth getting upset about?"
She has been hypocritical since she was a child. The obedience of the five people around her forms a sharp contrast with Liang Jingyi's strong nature. It is almost harder than climbing to the sky for Liang Youwei to maintain psychological balance.
Zhao Lingyu sighed and stroked her fur. "Okay, okay, that's worth getting angry about. Is that girl's personality good? Did she offend you and make you angry?"
"That definitely didn't make me angry. I think she has a good temper, speaks with a smile, and looks a little silly, which is quite cute."
Zhao Lingyu paused: "...You, think I'm stupid?"
Liang Youwei was very sensitive at this time, and she felt hurt: "Lingyu, what's with your tone? Can't I be smarter than her? No matter what, she has been working for a year, but she is an intern, okay?"
"It's not that I can't, but if you think she's stupid, then doesn't that mean she's stupid?"
"...Let's change the subject."
Liang Youwei felt that she and the talented girl were at odds on this topic, so she cut the song short: "Do you want to buy some underwear as well? Since we're here now."
They are now choosing underwear. Liang Youwei has always required changing these things every three months, and after she became pregnant, she changed them every month.
"I don't want to wear this, you choose yours." Zhao Lingyu shook her head and refused.
Otherwise, Liang Youwei is a fool. This is a maternity and baby store, what can she buy?
Liang Youwei nodded, and then seemed to suddenly think of something: "Hey, Lingyu, don't you ever wear this?"
Anyway, she had never seen the other person wearing a bra since she was a child.
Zhao Lingyu was very frank and helped her pick out nice colors: "Yes. The discomfort is one thing, and the small breasts are another."
It doesn't hurt if she feels heavy, so just put on a breast pad.
"Oh, it's really uncomfortable to wear. It makes me feel stuffy. If I don't wear it, do you think it will sag? But then it won't look good. I want to look beautiful."
Liang Youwei frowned. She especially liked to look at herself in the mirror and be happy for most of the day just staring at her body.
"No." Zhao Lingyu lowered her eyes as she listed the data, speaking calmly, her slender index finger occasionally picking up the wooden clothes hanger. "According to scientific research, moderate shaking can stimulate the chest muscles to resist gravity and enhance chest strength. However, your current situation is special. I personally suggest that you should support them and wait until the breastfeeding period is over before discussing other matters..."
Liang Youwei covered her heart.
Zhao Lingyu's expressionless expression, "According to scientific research, blah blah," is so charming. Speaking of which, the two of them could play doctor-patient tonight. Let's buy a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses on the way home...
After a long talk, Zhao Lingyu showed her aesthetic results: "So, what do you think of this one?"
Green is really beautiful.
"Um?"
Liang Youwei hadn't come to her senses yet, and the admiration in her eyes was still clear and visible.
Zhao Lingyu felt helpless when she saw her like this, and couldn't help but sigh softly. She put down the clothes hanger and asked seriously: "Why are you daydreaming again?"
Seeing the other party sigh, Liang Youwei's face turned even redder. She hugged her directly and screamed in a low voice: "Ahhh, it feels even better!"
Zhao Lingyu: ...
never mind.
"As long as you like it." Finally, she touched Liang Youwei's head and responded in a low voice.
Having had enough of her infatuation, Liang Youwei looked back at the item she was about to buy. An idea suddenly struck her, and she asked curiously, "By the way, Lingyu, I heard before that your company has an unwritten rule—in the summer at work, both men and women must wear breast stickers. Is this true or false?"
"Where did you hear that? They really got it right."
Zhao Lingyu smiled. "We all have to wear formal attire to work, even in the summer. But bulging nipples are unsightly, and both men and women should wear them, otherwise it's too unsightly. I heard your Yixing is even more extreme, with a weight requirement for applicants? They say anyone over 200 pounds won't be hired. I don't know who spread this rumor, it's ridiculous."
"Well, what you said is actually true. My second sister said that having body odor is unfair to other employees." Liang Youwei spread her hands, "But I definitely won't say this openly, otherwise I'll be scolded to death."
During his years in the United States, Liang Zhihui developed a deep psychological trauma about fat people. After returning to China, when he finally gained some power, his first move was to suggest that Yixing not recruit severely obese people.
Her reasoning was convincing—in most cases, severely obese people lack self-discipline and are not actively seeking to generate profits for Yixing. However, if there are special circumstances, Yixing can still open a green channel for those with the ability.
When the board heard about profits, they stopped caring about anything else. They didn't even mention that Liang Zhihui was ignorant or that she had contracted a disease from abroad. They just voted unanimously in favor of the proposal.
Liang Youwei suddenly became curious: "Lingyu, do you have any strange requests for your subordinates? For example, no star chasing, no playing games?"
Zhao Lingyu pondered: "Not really. Anyway, no men are wanted. Especially in the sales department."
Liang Youwei touched her chin and said, "This isn't surprising. My second and third sisters' teams are mostly women. But what surprised me was Qin Zhen. He actually doesn't let men get involved in important matters. Sometimes when I go to his place, I see mostly women."
"I look down on him. He's the one who annoys men the most. He keeps calling them money-losers. He finally came up with a plan, but it involved humiliating women, delaying his ability to make money from women."
Not knowing what happened in the past that she was thinking about, Zhao Lingyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, with a hint of sarcasm.
"When we're having dinner and chatting about public opinion and internal company reforms, Qin Zhen is the one who curses men the most, as if he wants to separate himself from that group. He thinks he's so noble, but if that group were gone, Qin Zhen would definitely be the first to be unhappy."
The seven of them would occasionally eat together, and chatting was inevitable. After all, their relationships had deteriorated so much, so they had to earn more in other ways, right? Thus, the six of them agreed to form a strong working alliance. When discussing work, it's inevitable to mention employees, and gender and class are also inevitable.
Liang Youwei wondered: "Why?"
In her simple understanding, women have a natural liking for other women, and of course men too.
Zhao Lingyu smiled and said, "Qin Zhen's idea is actually quite normal. Without those vulgar and ugly men who criticize women's rights and bride price, how can he highlight his intelligence, generosity, and respect for women? Shao Yue usually keeps quiet and acts like he respects everyone. Isn't that what he thinks in his heart?"
Liang Youwei lowered her head and pondered: "It seems to be true."
"But if you think about it carefully, some aspects of Qin Zhen are still worth learning from and thinking about."
"Well, like?"
Zhao Lingyu tutted her words, her eyes complicated. "For example, he'll place a gay in every propaganda department."
Liang Youwei doesn't believe it: "He supports LGBT?"
Not like that. Qin Zhen clearly only respects money and sometimes doesn't even respect her.
Zhao Lingyu held her forehead with her hand and said, "Because gay people in our country are more capable of making things happen and are also very expressive. That's the national situation."
Liang Youwei instantly understood: "Oh, I get it. It means he's very mean. Qin Zhen's company is always in turmoil, and they really need people like him."
The person opposite raised an eyebrow: "Very appropriate."
Liang Youwei thought thoughtfully: "How about you learn it too?"
Zhao Lingyu immediately shook her head: "I tried, but I couldn't stand it."
"Why?"
"Because sometimes they can't help their instincts and always add a tilde when they call me Lingyu."
Combining what she learned online, Liang Youwei tried to simulate it in her mind and immediately shuddered: "Ah, that's really hard to accept."
"Oh, let's not talk about that. Let's get down to business. What's for tea? How about Napoleon?"
"Okay, another Caesar."
Grabbing the shopping bags, the two of them left.
