When Cheng Qicai went to work on Monday, she posted the notice for the weekly meeting in the group chat as scheduled.
She finished her work, packed her things, and went to the meeting room.
Seeing Lin Fengjie sitting in the lower seats, she asked with some confusion, "Brother Lin, is President Gu here for the meeting today?"
You should know that Gu Liji used to arrive late in the morning, so most of his meetings were in the afternoon, and Lin Fengjie usually chaired the morning meetings.
Lin Fengjie shook his head, "No, is it General Manager Da Gu who's here for a meeting?"
Before Cheng Qicai could react, she saw Gu Rongqi walk in from outside and sit down in the front seat.
Cheng Qicai immediately stopped talking and listened quietly to Gu Rongqi's arrangements for company matters.
This was the first time I'd seen Gu Rongqi at work. He was different from how I usually interacted with him. His tone of voice was the same, but there was an inexplicable sense of seriousness and sharpness surrounding him.
Even if you don't understand the speeches of the heads of various departments, you can quickly get to the heart of the matter after you learn about them.
Compared to Gu Liji and Lin Fengjie's meeting style, his meeting style was more concise, to the point, and efficient.
Looking at the expressions of the people in charge below, they were much more serious than before.
Thanks to Gu Rongqi's efficiency, the meeting ended quickly, and Cheng Qicai's tense heart gradually calmed down.
After packing her things, Cheng Qicai returned to her office and asked Lin Fengjie curiously, "Why is it President Da Gu who's here for the meeting?"
Lin Fengjie shook his head, "I don't know. I only heard the news at work today. They said that Da Gu will temporarily take over Gu's work for the time being."
"Huh? How long will it take?" Cheng Qicai asked.
"have no idea."
"Will he come every day from now on?" Cheng Qicai asked again, even more worried.
This issue was very important to Cheng Qicai, as she felt that someone like Gu Rongqi would not tolerate his employees slacking off.
Won't the days ahead be tough?
Lin Fengjie shook his head again: "I don't know, but he probably won't come every day. After all, CEO Da Gu is so busy with work, he probably only comes to visit occasionally."
Hearing Lin Fengjie's words, Cheng Qicai breathed a sigh of relief. That's good.
After all, she was used to the days when there was no boss in the company and she could legitimately slack off after work.
Half an hour before noon, Cheng Qicai knocked on Gu Liji's office door early and asked, "Mr. Gu, do you need me to order you some food?"
Gu Rongqi asked, "Are you here to eat in the cafeteria?"
Cheng Qicai nodded.
"Then I'll go down with you guys later."
“…Okay.” Cheng Qicai replied with a smile.
As soon as the office door closed, Cheng Qicai's smile vanished.
Back in the office, Lin Fengjie noticed she seemed unhappy and asked, "What's wrong? Did you get criticized?"
“No,” Cheng Qicai shook her head, “It’s just that President Gu is going down to eat with us later.”
"What's wrong?" Lin Fengjie asked, puzzled. "Didn't you and President Gu have a pretty good relationship before?"
"That was in private. Now that he's in charge of my work, I definitely see him as my boss! Eating with my boss... it's really uncomfortable!" she muttered unhappily.
"Haha, I'm just going to nag you about your work. Looks like you're having a hard time eating with me every day."
Cheng Qicai nodded quite honestly: "You know what, I really was at first... but not anymore."
When she first started working, aside from the initial misunderstanding, she was quite nervous about getting along with Lin Fengjie after she officially began working. At the time, she was a newbie and he scolded her quite a bit.
Lin Fengjie joked with a smile, "Then you'll get used to it if you eat with President Gu a few more times."
Cheng Qicai: "..."
Gu Rongqi, standing outside the door, lowered his raised hand and turned to leave.
Around noon, Cheng Qicai ran to call Gu Rongqi: "President Gu, are you going down for lunch?"
Gu Rongqi put down the documents in his hand: "Okay."
The group went downstairs, selected their meals in the cafeteria, and sat at an empty table. Cheng Qicai was a little slow in ordering and fell behind them.
She took her plate and sat down opposite Gu Rongqi, in a row with Lin Fengjie.
Gu Rongqi glanced at her plate and said, "We have sweet and sour pork ribs today."
Cheng Qicai was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Do you need me to get it for you?"
“…No.” Gu Rong paused for a moment. “I meant you didn’t take it, and I was afraid you didn’t see it.”
Cheng Qicai was a little embarrassed: "No, I ate a bit too much last week, so I wanted to try something different today."
Gu Rong started to speak.
The three ate their food in silence. Cheng Qicai's eyes darted around before she looked at Gu Rongqi and asked, "By the way, why didn't Brother Gu come?"
“He twisted his ankle again when he got out of the car after the engagement party last time. When he got back, he found that his ankle was a bit dislocated, so I came to help him with the company temporarily.”
Cheng Qicai asked worriedly, "Is his leg serious?"
She remembered that when he hit them, he fell to the ground but didn't hurt his foot. However, when he got out of the car on the way back, he actually hurt his foot. It was just bad luck that he ran into such a person.
But she still had some doubts. Even if Gu Liji's leg was injured again, Gu Rongqi shouldn't have to temporarily take over the company's affairs, right?
Previously, when Gu Liji didn't come, Lin Fengjie handled things. Can't it be the same now?
Gu Rongqi shook his head: "It's not serious, but he's too restless, so we'll let him rest at home."
Cheng Qicai thought about it and felt that Gu Rongqi was right. If someone could drive like a race car while in a wheelchair, it wouldn't be surprising if their legs were dislocated.
After finishing their meal, the group went upstairs to their respective offices, and Gu Rongqi left in the afternoon.
