37 I never violate the rules of my male subordinates!
It is better to do it today than to wait for a day.
The next morning, three people walked out of the client's community. Ni Yue said that he had an appointment with someone for lunch, then unlocked a shared bike and ran away without looking back.
Zhang Chenling started to wonder, "Why is this woman always making appointments lately?"
Xu Zhiqian stared at her with a smile and asked, "What about us?..."
"Just eat your own food. I need to take a nap after that." Zhang Chenling didn't even raise her eyelids. She wasn't deliberately neglecting him, she was really a little sleepy.
Last night, after taking a bath, she and Ni Yue got excited and went to Changle Road to have some wine and some roasted bird. When they came back in the evening, they talked excitedly in bed for a long time. It was not until two o'clock in the morning that Ni Yue climbed back into his bed.
Xu Zhiqian shrugged helplessly and pushed the bathtub towards the van.
Zhang Chenling was following behind him when her phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was Mr. Wang, she quickly picked up the phone. The voice on the other end couldn't contain her joy. "Chenling, I have good news for you. They edited a sample of the interview program you recorded a few days ago overnight. They said the station leaders liked it so much that they made an exception and moved your episode up to the broadcast schedule. It might air next week!"
"Ah!" Zhang Chenling suddenly perked up, "That's great!"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You need to get ready. After the show airs, the staff and service must keep up!" Mr. Wang said with a chuckle, "Don't forget me when you become the number one bathing aid brand in the country!"
Zhang Chenling thanked him repeatedly and bowed to the air.
After hanging up the phone, I turned around and saw Xu Zhiqian had just closed the trunk door and was brushing the dust off his hands.
A thought flashed through my mind.
She walked over and patted Xu Zhiqian's arm, "Let's go and have lunch together!"
On a whim, not knowing what to eat, Xu Zhiqian drove Zhang Chenling around the small streets of Wutong District. He saw that some restaurants had long queues outside and were packed with people, while some restaurants were empty and deserted.
"There's a big difference between being popular and unpopular, huh?" Xu Zhiqian said to Zhang Chenling with a smile, as if there was something else he meant.
Zhang Chenling didn't bother to savor it, and curled her lips and said, "I had some fresh meat wontons this morning, and now I'm not hungry at all. If you're not too hungry either, why don't we find a cafe and buy some sandwiches or something?"
"no problem!"
Xu Zhiqian didn't ask her which cafe she wanted to go to. He stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to his doorstep - the Screaming Cafe opposite the Screaming Youth Hostel.
It was at this place where he pretended to be a Xiaohongshu fan and tricked Zhang Chenling into coming for an interview more than a month ago.
Realizing that she was brought here, Zhang Chenling frowned and got off the car after hesitating for half a second.
They both ordered American beef sandwiches and sat in a corner of the cafe as usual.
Before she even had time to warm up, Zhang Chenling got straight to the point: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to report to me?"
"Uh," Xu Zhiqian blushed and paused, "It's not really a report, just some thoughts."
"Okay, go ahead!"
"Well... I suddenly remembered that I had said a lot of things I wanted to say during the interview that day. You heard it all, and I forgot about it, hehe..."
Seeing Xu Zhiqian hesitating, Zhang Chenling understood everything. "It seems you don't have anything to say. Then I'll say it."
"Huh?" The woman in front of him looked very oppressive. Xu Zhiqian's head buzzed. He wondered if she was going to burn the bridge after crossing it and fire him with one month's notice!
My hands unconsciously clenched the coffee cup, and the coolness of the iced American coffee seeped into my palms, and the restless heart in my body also calmed down.
"Well," Zhang Chenling mused, "we're in the early stages of our business, and our IT system isn't very comprehensive. We almost don't have one at all. Currently, customer data is mainly recorded in spreadsheets, and orders are mainly placed through traditional methods like phone calls and WeChat messages. I think we need to introduce a more modern management system."
So that's what they were talking about. Xu Zhiqian breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead with a tissue. "No problem, I've actually thought about this before. I think in the short term, we can start with the official account. Order management and customer maintenance can be put into the mini program. This is not difficult, I can do it. In the long term, when the company's business develops to a certain scale, it won't be too late to consider launching those more expensive management systems."
"Okay, thank you for your patience. We'll try to launch the mini program for testing within three or four days."
"No problem, no problem!" Xu Zhiqian shrugged.
He studied electronics and mainly worked on smart hardware in a large factory. However, he also learned coding and could do simple software programs, so his current job was not difficult at all.
"Then you will be the company's CTO from now on!" Zhang Chenling said with a smile in her eyes.
"Huh!" Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Can I understand this as successfully passing the probation period and getting a promotion?"
Zhang Chenling nodded her chin. "Of course! But I haven't asked for your opinion yet. It depends on whether you are willing to take on this responsibility."
"Of course I'd love to." Xu Zhiqian excitedly grabbed Zhang Chenling's hands, which were spread on the table. "Thank you!"
As expected, she ruthlessly pushed him away, "Ahem, the three rules still apply."
"Chen Ling..." Xu Zhiqian's tone was full of pleading, but as soon as he read out her name, he was interrupted harshly.
"Who gave you permission to call me that?"
"I...you..." Xu Zhiqian's face flushed red. He felt that he was completely suppressed by her and had no power to resist.
Seeing his cowardly look, Zhang Chenling couldn't help but sneer, thinking that with your fighting ability, you'd be the first one to be laid off!
My gaze passed through the lenses and fell on his eyes. I suddenly found that his eyes were bloodshot and his eye circles were a little dark.
"What? You didn't sleep well last night?"
Xu Zhiqian nodded, took off his glasses, and rubbed his eyes. "I've definitely been a little sleep deprived lately."
After saying that, he put on his glasses again, picked up the sandwich and took a bite.
Seeing that he seemed unwilling to elaborate, Zhang Chenling didn't ask any more questions.
The two chatted for a while and soon they were full and satisfied.
"Shall I take you home to rest now?" Xu Zhiqian asked.
Zhang Chenling stared at him, as if saying: What else?
"Okay, Mr. Zhang!" He said weakly.
The two men stood up and walked out. Before they reached the door, they heard a loud "boom" and then raindrops as big as beans fell down. Smoke soon rose outside.
"Will it rain today?" Zhang Chenling looked up at Xu Zhiqian in surprise.
The latter disagreed, with a strange smile on his face, "I didn't check the weather forecast, maybe this is God's will."
Zhang Chenling glared at him, turned around and wanted to return to her previous seat, but found that there were already guests sitting there.
"Then let's go to the car to take shelter from the rain for a while before we go. We can't even see the road clearly now, and it's easy to get into an accident while driving."
Zhang Chenling said as she pushed open the door of the cafe.
Before she could react, Xu Zhiqian suddenly grabbed her wrist.
With lightning speed, he pulled her forward.
Instead of running to the car, he ran across the street to the Scream Hostel.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Zhang Chenling pulled Xu Zhiqian's hand back and refused to leave. The heavy rain poured down on her head and she felt herself soaked in an instant.
Unexpectedly, he used all his strength and pulled her forward without looking back, "Don't ask, just follow me!"
It was still that cramped single room without windows.
After closing the door, Xu Zhiqian suddenly pulled Zhang Chenling into his arms, regardless of the fact that both of them were soaking wet.
He completely broke down her defenses with a series of random passionate kisses.
He kissed her voluptuous lips, sucked out the fragrance from her mouth, kissed her fluttering eyelashes, kissed the faint fine lines on her forehead and at the corners of her eyes, kissed her sensitive neck and collarbone, and then went all the way down, buried his face in the half-wet T-shirt, and kissed her chest...
Finally, he kissed her lips again...
In the confusion of passion, the two of them almost fell down because they lost their balance, and he pushed her down on the ladder to the bed.
Although Zhang Chenling looks strong, her body is very flexible and fits perfectly with the ladder like a water snake.
His hands restlessly moved around behind the ladder to squeeze her buttocks.
Separated by a thin skirt and a pair of silk panties.
“…” She moaned unconsciously and her body twisted.
Suddenly she felt a tension pressing down on her, making her feel uncomfortable.
"No, no!" She regained her senses instantly and tried to push him away, but his hands were clamped tightly.
The hot breath from his mouth blew on her face, "You finally came here, I won't let you go!"
"You're crazy!" Zhang Chenling gasped, "I'm your boss!"
"You were kissing me passionately just now, and then you acted like the boss again. Why are you always like this?" He laughed at her wantonly.
After saying that, he lowered his head to find her lips.
She nudged him with her elbow. "Just be clear. Do you want a job more, or do you want to talk nonsense?"
"I do need a job, but I want you too, okay?" He pressed down again.
She resisted vigorously, "No, how can sugarcane be sweet at both ends?"
He licked his lips. "Do you like sugarcane?" "...It's so cold!" She took the opportunity to brush her wet hair, trying to calm herself down. "Although our company is small, we still have rules and regulations. Office romance is absolutely not allowed."
"Then we can handle business matters in a business-like manner and personal matters in a business-like manner. Can't we just date outside of working hours?"
"no!"
"So determined? You just don't want a relationship, you don't want responsibility! ... Mr. Zhang, you just want one-night stands, right?"
“…”
"That's right, we both have such good physical conditions, it would be a shame if we wasted our time!"
His eyes were full of teasing, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Chenling found this gentlemanly scoundrel's appearance truly hilarious. She sneered, "So, you're willing to become a tool for your female boss to satisfy her sexual desires?"
His face flushed, his Adam's apple jumping up and down, "I'm serious about dating, but if you like, we can start as friends with benefits first."
"You wish!" Zhang Chenling scoffed. "There are so many men on the street looking for sex. Why should I ask my male subordinates for sex?"
"Isn't it convenient to be close? As long as you want it, I, 007, can do it. This is all my blessing!"
He came over to me in a frivolous way and asked for a kiss.
"A-choo!"
But Zhang Chenling sneezed and his face was covered with saliva.
He suddenly sobered up, put away the lustful expression on his face, turned around and walked into the bathroom, "I have a new towel that I just took out this morning. I haven't used it yet. Let me wipe your hair. Don't catch a cold!"
When I came out, I found Zhang Chenling sitting at the desk under the bed.
He walked over, handed her the towel with one hand, and reached out to the table with the other hand to clean up the clutter on it. "I'm sorry, this place is too messy. I've been lazy these days and haven't cleaned it up."
She took the towel and put it on her head, and opened his hand with a "snap", "Why are you in such a hurry to clean the table? Is there something you can't look at?"
Xu Zhiqian was embarrassed, "It's nothing..."
As he spoke, he took two steps back to give her space.
Zhang Chenling didn't bother to wipe her hair, her eyes fell directly on a large open book on the desk.
I have read one-third of the book. The pages are marked with watercolor pens of various colors, and there are many sticky notes stuck between the pages.
Next to the book was a notebook filled with densely written Martian language that she couldn't understand.
Zhang Chenling wiped her hands with a towel and turned over the cover of the book. It was Professor Xu's book, "The Latest Theoretical Research on Semiconductor Physics and Radio Frequency Circuits."
"What? Haven't you finished studying yet?" Zhang Chenling asked with a smile. Before Xu Zhiqian could answer, another thought suddenly came to her mind: "Or do you want to help Professor Xu revise this book?"
She guessed right.
Xu Zhiqian smiled awkwardly. "Well, I just wanted to try. I don't dare to expect that I can really help. After all, I haven't paid attention to the academic field for many years. I am better at practical operations..."
He looked a little embarrassed. He had wanted to keep a low profile about this matter and didn't want anyone to know about it, but he didn't expect Zhang Chenling to find out.
Zhang Chenling felt mixed emotions. "So you've been studying this book lately, and your sleep problems are because of this?"
Xu Zhiqian nodded silently.
"You're amazing!" She didn't hide her admiration and praise at all. "With your and Professor Xu's wisdom, this book will definitely have a chance to be published!"
This flattery immediately made Xu Zhiqian at a loss. His face turned red, and he scratched his head and pinched his waist, just like a shy male college student - completely different from the hungry look just now.
Zhang Chenling withdrew her gaze and continued to look around. She found that the originally bare wall next to the desk was covered with A4 papers, on which were drawn some incomprehensible circuit diagrams.
Huh? Upon closer inspection, I found a leaflet for "Shangshan Ruoshui" mixed in with the rest of the group. It had key points circled in red and blue pen, and a few crookedly scribbled annotations in small characters.
One of the lines reads: Everyone deserves to be seen.
Her heart suddenly warmed up, and her eyes became slightly hot.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiqian's attitude towards the bathing assistance business was much more serious than she thought. In this case, they should not overstep the line.
After inspecting the world in front of her, Zhang Chenling lowered her head and silently wiped her hair with a towel.
Xu Zhiqian stood aside and stared at her.
"Oh right!" He suddenly remembered, "There's something I forgot to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Zhang Chenling asked from under the towel.
"I want to take a day off to go back to Ningbo. My childhood friend is sick and he says he's seriously ill. I have to go back to see him!"
"No problem," Zhang Chenling agreed readily. "Try to tell me in advance which day you want to go back. I'll arrange the orders to avoid that day, and Ni Yue and I can also take a day off."
After wiping his hair in a few strokes, he wiped his body as well.
"I have to go home and change my clothes, otherwise I'm going to catch a cold."
She stood up and threw the towel back to Xu Zhiqian.
Unexpectedly, he grabbed his arm with lightning speed.
This time, she did not hold back and swung her arms to try to get rid of him.
She even swung her hair around, and the wet ends of her hair brushed across his face, almost brushing off his frameless glasses.
He had no choice but to let go, adjust his glasses, and curl his lips in silent protest against this kind of flirting.
He was responded with a cold face.
He was surprised to find that the woman in front of him was no longer ambiguous, there was no warmth between her eyebrows, and her eyes were like ice-hardened blades, sharp and cold.
He looks just like the chilling gangster boss in the movies.
"I repeat," Zhang Chenling unexpectedly raised her right hand and slapped Xu Zhiqian's cheek repeatedly, emphasizing each word: "I never violate the rules of my male subordinates!"
