Chapter 34 34 The first three words together are "I'm sorry..."
The analysis of Shi Rui's personality filled up an entire page, and Qin Jixiu suddenly realized that something was wrong. He had originally wanted to ask him clearly what he wanted and then compensate him well, but he was led astray by this kid and almost made the same mistake again.
Shi Rui was looking at him intently at this moment, seemingly very curious about what he wrote.
Qin Jixiu waved at him: "Come here."
Shi Rui walked over immediately, his speed was unexpected.
Qin Jixiu handed him the paper and said, "I don't mean anything special. I'm just a few years older than you, and I want to give you some advice. Whether you listen to it or not is up to you."
Shi Rui took it and looked at it. The paper was densely covered with words in elegant and well-organized handwriting, as clear as the notes of a top student. He held it tightly with care and said thank you, Mr. Qin.
"You're welcome," Qin Jixiu glanced at him uncomfortably. "You can always come to me if you encounter any difficulties in the R&D department. After all, in the eyes of others, I already opened a gap that day. Even if I don't stand behind you, others will still think you belong to me."
Shi Rui saw no rivals. He subconsciously wanted to reassure Qin Jixiu, but after a moment's hesitation, he decided to play it safe and said, "Does Boss Qin care if anyone bullies me?"
"certainly."
Qin Jixiu added: "As long as you work at Zhengfeng for one day, no one can take advantage of you."
Having said that, Qin Jixiu lowered his head and rummaged through the drawer again. Finally, he took out a bulging envelope. He put it on the table and pushed it forward.
Shi Rui: “What is this…?”
Qin Jixiu explained, "I give bonuses to the secretaries in the President's Office every quarter. This is your share."
Shi Rui raised his eyes with suspicion.
Qin Jixiu lied without blushing or beating his heart: "If you don't believe me, you can go out and ask Gu Qing to see if this is true. But I give each of you a different bonus, and I don't want you to talk too much about it privately."
Shi Rui picked up the envelope.
Normally, the HR department will issue them pay slips, but they are required to keep it confidential to each other. If they disclose it to others, they will be called in for a talk.
"Go and get busy." Qin Jixiu forced out an approachable smile.
After Shi Rui left, Qin Jixiu called Wu Min. He did not hide anything and directly mentioned Shi Rui's name.
"He's straightforward and reckless, but young people are fearless, so you should be patient with him. Although his professional background doesn't match the R&D department, he's a quick learner. If there's a suitable job, give him more opportunities to hone his skills. After all, he's worked in the President's Office before, and now that he's out, his words and actions represent the office. There's no need to give him special privileges, but I don't want anyone using him as a tool either."
Couldn't Wu Min understand this? Even if he provoked you, you couldn't get angry, you couldn't leave him idle, and you couldn't tire him out. You had to pay more attention to the disputes in the department and didn't let Shi Rui get involved.
"Boss Qin, I understand what you mean," Wu Min said. "I will definitely make good use of the person you entrusted to me. I also admire Xiao Shi very much, so don't worry, I will keep an eye on him for you."
Qin Jixiu nodded with satisfaction and promised to give them more department bonuses at the end of the year.
After returning, Shi Rui carefully put away the piece of paper Qin Jixiu gave him.
He asked his colleague who lived in Jiangcheng where there was an antique market, and drove to the destination as soon as he got off work. Jiang Lin in the passenger seat was stunned. He asked, "You have paid all your money for rent, how dare you come to a place like this to shop?"
Shi Rui asked him to stay in the car and took the elevator to the second floor.
He was not familiar with the layout of the building and searched for a long time before he found what he wanted to buy. He pointed to a rouge-colored picture frame and asked the owner, "How much is this?"
The boss took a look at his clothes and said, "Fifty dollars."
Shi Rui was surprised: "So cheap?"
"If you think it's too cheap, I can sell it to you at a higher price."
Shi Rui ignored his joke. He walked around the store and asked, "Do you have any good quality frames that can hold A4-sized works?"
The boss shouted into the house: "Wife, a customer is coming, please get that frame from the warehouse."
A woman responded, and soon she brought out something. The packaging was still there. The proprietress used a rag to wipe off the dust on the surface and removed the foam on the outside.
The boss introduced the frame, saying, "This frame has been in our shop for thirty years and we rarely show it to others. It's a one-of-a-kind piece. It's made of solid wood, genuine material, and won't change color even after thirty years. I see you're serious about it, so take it for one thousand."
Shi Rui touched it with his hand and said happily, "Okay, I want this."
The boss thought to himself, I have met a fool.
Shi Rui counted out ten bills from the envelope and handed them to the boss.
The boss had never seen such a person before. He held up the money and looked at it towards the light. Only after confirming that it was not a □□ did he accept the money and give him the goods.
Shi Rui got into the car carrying his "trophies".
Jiang Lin leaned over and asked curiously, "What did you buy?"
Shi Rui said: "It's just a photo frame."
Jiang Lin lost interest in exploring.
When he got home, Shi Rui went into his room. He carefully took out the picture frame, and more importantly, the paper that he had been stroking all day. He framed it solemnly and hung it on the wall beside the bed.
After staring at it for a few minutes, he became more and more satisfied. He took out his mobile phone, took a photo and sent it to Qin Jixiu.
Qin Jixiu didn't know what he was busy with and didn't reply to him.
Shi Rui was in high spirits at this moment and wanted to talk to someone about his troubles. After searching through his address book for a long time, he found that Shi Xi was the only homosexual, so he began to harass his brother.
Squid: [Image]
Squid: [How is it?]
Shi Xi: [This calligraphy is quite good. Who wrote it?]
Shi Rui proudly replied: [It’s the colleague I told you I like last time.]
Shi Xi: [Don’t judge a person by his appearance.]
Shi Xi: [But what does the content mean?]
Squid: [This is an analysis of my personality. I now feel like he understands me better than our parents.]
Shi Xi: [……]
Shi Xi: [I'm speechless, brother. I think you've lost your mind. Others analyze you, even complain about you, with hardly a single compliment. And yet you, on the other hand, even frame it.]
Shi Xi: [If you like this kind of thing, I’ll write 10,000 copies for you.]
Shi Xi: [They only give you worthless things. Be careful, brother, don't get cheated.]
Squid: [You don't understand. He's very good to me. He bought me a bag when he came back from abroad, and today he told me a lot of life lessons I'd never heard before. I think he's mature and considerate. Although he can be a bit sharp-tongued at times, he's soft-hearted and his words are full of good intentions.]
Shi Xi: [Brother, wake up! What kind of magic potion did he put you on? How could an ordinary person be so bewitched by you? Pay attention to him. He's mature and considerate. He even remembers to buy people bags when he goes abroad. Be careful, he has a wife and children!]
Squid: [Don't slander him, he's unmarried.]
Shi Xi had no choice but to reply: [What does the bag look like? Take a picture and show it to me.]
Squid: [Image]
Two minutes later, Shi Xi replied: [This brand of bag is very expensive! This is definitely a fake bag. I have a friend who makes bags, I asked him to authenticate it.]
Squid: [I don't need you to identify it, it's definitely genuine.]
Shi Xi said again: [Brother, you are hopeless.]
Shi Xi: [Even if she's a real babe, you don't have to give yourself to her. Our daddy has plenty of money, don't let small favors fool you!]
Shi Rui thought he had been blinded by Qin Jixiu's face. Small favors were temporary, but beauty was eternal. Shi Rui firmly believed that in ten years, Qin Jixiu would still look like this.
Shi Rui didn't want to talk to his brother anymore. He said, "I thought you understood me, but I found you're wary of the world. Not all love comes at the cost of tears, and he's definitely not as bad as you think. If you still hold onto this idea and maliciously speculate about him, I won't share anything with you anymore."
Shi Xi: [Ahhhhhh I’m going to block you!]
Shi Rui exited the chat box with him, and Qin Jixiu's message came just in time.
[…Can you behave a little more normally?]
Shi Rui humbly asks: [What's wrong with me? What's wrong with this?]
Qin Jixiu saw him frame his casual calligraphy and immediately felt so embarrassed that he tapped his toes. He replied: "Is it hanging in the living room of the apartment you and Jiang Lin share?"
Squid: [In my bedroom.]
That's pretty sick too! Especially because... Qin Jixiu scratched his head. Shi Rui obviously hadn't discovered the secret in this piece of paper yet.
Squid: [Mr. Qin, your handwriting is very beautiful. Did you practice it?]
Qin Jixiu: [I know. No.]
Squid: [Oops.]
Shi Rui couldn't find another topic to talk about, so he just continued to stare at the paper. Wait... Shi Rui suddenly realized that three lines of text didn't align with the rest of the content.
"They lack consideration for the delicate relationships between colleagues and respond simplistically and roughly, hurting others and themselves;"
"I can't protect myself in the internal struggle of the department; but most of all"
"At least I know not only to make enemies, but also to win over relatively kind colleagues;"
The first three words together mean "I'm sorry".
Shi Rui recalled Qin Jixiu's initial misunderstanding of him. He spent the entire afternoon trying to figure out what Qin Jixiu could have misunderstood about him. After all, after meeting him in the elevator, he immediately decided to take him with him.
After his careful reasoning and analysis, he concluded that the only possibility was that Qin Jixiu fell in love with him.
But Qin Jixiu apologized to him in such a tactful way.
Why?
Shi Rui had made up his mind that from today on he would no longer bother hiding his thoughts, so he circled the three words in red and sent them to Qin Jixiu again.
Squid: [Mr. Qin, what does this mean?]
Qin Jizhen was pacing back and forth on the balcony. When he received the news, his first reaction was that Shi Rui was really quite idle. It seemed that he had not worked overtime since leaving the president's office, and he could even notice such small details.
Qin Jixiu: [Yes, this is my branch's custom. It's not an electronic document, so it doesn't need to be so rigorous.]
Shi Rui confirmed again: [Coincidence?]
[What else? An acrostic poem?]
Squid: [I thought so.]
Qin Jixiu: [Don’t think so.]
Shi Rui was speechless again. He racked his brains and finally sent two words: [Good night.]
Qin Jixiu didn't reply.
Squid: [Are you asleep?]
Squid: [Goodnight.]
Qin Jixiu: [No.]
Squid: [Goodnight.]
Qin Jixiu couldn't ignore this little android that only kept repeating itself. If he didn't reply to what he wanted, he was worried that Shi Rui wouldn't be able to sleep all night, so he replied: [Good night.]
