Chapter 124 Internship
Lan Zhe stood there, clutching his chest.
Lu Xiwen: "Who is it?"
“I met Mr. Zou from Lindao Technology Media once before, and he kept asking me if I was interested in becoming a manager and part-time vice president of a branch office,” Lan Zhe explained.
"Oh dear," Lu Xi said sarcastically, "you got promoted."
Lan Zhe: "...No, I'm fine here."
Lu Xiwen scoffed, "How much money can he give you?"
Lan Zhe wholeheartedly agreed with this. No matter how good the name sounds, the actual earnings are far less than what he would get from working for Boss Lu. Just like Pei Wu said, he gets bonuses every few days and there's no forced overtime. Only a madman would quit. More importantly, Lan Zhe has developed a strong attachment to the company. Even when he angrily criticizes some of the lower-level employees, it's with a touch of affection.
The moment the words were spoken, the cubicle door was pushed open.
Pei Wu buttoned his shirt with one hand, leaving two buttons undone at the collar. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, and although he didn't say it outright, his demeanor was completely relaxed and comfortable, as if he was just missing a puff of smoke. When he met Lan Zhe's gaze, Pei Wu retreated without a word and closed the door again.
Lan Zhe: "..."
When Pei Wu came out again, her coat was neatly buttoned down to the first button below her neck, and she had regained her aloof and cool demeanor.
"Assistant Lan is here to pick something up too?"
“Yes.” Lan Zhe smiled and waved the USB drive in his hand. “Copy something.”
"Then do as you please, we'll head back now." Lu Xiwen said calmly.
"Sigh," Lan Zhe sighed. "President Lu makes no attempt to hide it. Many people in the company have already noticed, and it's only a matter of time before he's found out."
"Let's have fish for lunch tomorrow."
On the way home, Lu Xiwen offered sincere advice.
That's not difficult. Pei Wu was just curious: "Don't you get tired of eating this five or six times a week?"
"Sweet and sour fish is the light of humanity, I'll never get tired of it in my life!"
"...Alright then."
The car drove quietly for a while, and the scenery outside gradually became monotonous. Large areas of red maple and sycamore trees were planted in Yunlu Bay. As soon as the sycamore leaves turned yellow, the intense color of the other side climbed up the branches.
However, it's about the same whether you gently rock it at night.
Pei Wu suddenly asked, "How are you planning to spend your birthday?"
Lu Xiwen was taken aback: "My birthday?"
"yes."
"Whatever." Lu Xiwen really didn't care about this. For several years, he didn't celebrate at all. If Kuang Junmeng and the others remembered, a small gathering would suffice.
Pei Wu said, "I'll decide on the venue; I'll invite some people I'm close to."
"Okay." Lu Xiwen smiled slightly. The feeling of being remembered, especially by someone you love, is really sweet.
Of course, birthdays and such couldn't diminish Mr. Lu's "aggressiveness" at work. Starting from the Monday morning meeting, he coldly berated people until noon. Pei Wu looked at the projects submitted and found that some of them were indeed quite outrageous.
The main reason is that there were personnel changes recently due to the embezzlement of public funds by a branch office, and many people are still adjusting.
Lu Xiwen had to go to the design department and left first. Pei Wu, who was organizing documents, lagged behind. A senior executive with whom she had a good relationship looked dazed and said, "Assistant Pei, my head is spinning."
Pei Wu replied sincerely, "To be honest, so am I."
Lu Xiwen was being very professional and had just said a few words to Pei Wu because the data wasn't submitted on time.
At noon, Pei Wu had just sat down in the cafeteria when Lan Zhe rushed over to the opposite side with his tray.
"Not going to cut steak today?"
"I'm not going, I have something to do later." Lan Zhe shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth, then asked curiously, "Aren't you angry when President Lu scolds you?"
"Admit your mistakes without letting personal feelings interfere." Pei Wu stared at the chicken leg that his aunt insisted on giving him, feeling that he couldn't finish it.
"For me?" Lan Zhe understood the meaning.
"Take it, take it."
"I'm pretty handsome too," Lan Zhe said, puzzled. "Why didn't Auntie give me an extra chicken leg?"
Pei Wu chuckled. It's hard to say when it comes to first impressions.
The afternoon continued to be busy, but Pei Wu took the time to confirm the time and floor with a high-end club.
It's really not cheap. It cost Pei Wu one-fifth of her savings in one go. In the past, Pei Wu wouldn't have even looked at it, but Lu Xiwen's birthday is different.
Pei Wu ordered an extra cake.
With these matters settled, he felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.
After sitting at his workstation for a while, Lu Xiwen strode out from inside, left behind "four cups of coffee," and went straight to the meeting room.
Pei Wu and Lan Zhe stood up at the same time.
The Ji family is the biggest pharmaceutical giant in Hongdu. The market for their new inhibitors has been fully opened up. Hearing about such meager profits, Fang Xiao is already counting his money while lying down, which shows that sales are booming. When Pei Wu entered, there were three people in the reception room.
The middle-aged man with a kind face should be Ji Lin, the CEO of Baizhi Pharmaceuticals. The person standing behind him is probably his assistant, while the person beside him is very young and bears a resemblance to Ji Lin in appearance.
The conversation revolved around distribution channels and sales. Baizhi had all the equipment that Fangxiao possessed, but authorization from Lu Xiwen was required.
As the conversation progressed, both sides nodded in agreement. Ji Lin, satisfied, introduced his son, "President Lu, this is Ji Siqi, my youngest son. Could he perhaps intern with you for a while?"
"An internship?" Lu Xiwen asked in surprise, "Isn't going to Baizhi the same?"
“It smells like medicine everywhere,” Ji Siqi added, “and the rhythm is completely different from Chang Rong’s.”
Just by listening to that sweet, coquettish tone at the end, you know he's an Omega.
Ji Lin rarely asks for favors. Considering the long-term cooperation between the two companies, and that it's just an internship, most rich kids in the circle use it as a stepping stone, either to experience life or to enrich their resumes. He should be able to transfer to a corresponding position in three months without any problems.
Lu Xiwen: "Not many people get promoted through connections; the competition is very intense."
Ji Lin: "..." So blunt?
Ji Siqi: "I can adapt!"
“Okay.” Lu Xi said, “Pei Wu, make the arrangements.”
"good."
"President Lu," Ji Siqi looked Lan Zhe and Pei Wu up and down, "These are your two Alpha assistants?"
"I am an Alpha," Lan Zhe said. "Pei Zhu is an Omega."
"Huh?" Ji Siqi didn't believe it: "Can an Omega keep up?"
"Siqi!" Ji Lin objected, "How can you talk like that? You're coming to Changrong for your internship, what's there for others not to be able to keep up with?"
Ji Siqi: "I didn't mean any harm..."
"It's alright," Pei Wu said gently. "I'll make the arrangements right away."
Just to be on the safe side, Pei Wu still spoke with the head of the accounting department. The head of the department frowned as soon as he heard that the person was a relative, but then he heard that it could be done according to the rules. "Here's what we'll do. We'll see how he performs in the first three days. If he really wants to learn, I'll take the time to teach him. If he's just coasting along, we'll give him a cushy job for three months. Don't worry."
"Thank you for your help. I'll treat you to dinner later," Pei Wu said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll wait."
Pei Wu was so busy that she was spinning a top on her feet. When she looked up, it was almost dark.
Splash—
Lu Xiwen opened the door and came out from the inner room. He had been sulking all day, and the coldness in his eyes was still there, but the moment he saw Pei Wu, a smile gradually spread across his face. "Wife." His tone became sweet and affectionate. "You're off work."
