It was another Monday, and at 8:50 in the morning, Chen Xu arrived at the company on time.

"Assistant Chen, good morning."

Several colleagues who arrived early greeted him warmly.

"Good morning." He responded with a smile, walked straight to his seat, and nodded to Secretary Guo at the opposite table as a greeting.

Secretary Guo smiled back at him, "Good morning."

Chen Xu was a little surprised. Usually, she would at most respond with a polite smile, but today she took the initiative to say hello.

This is definitely a good thing. At work, there are many things that two people need to cooperate with each other. If they have a good relationship, many things will be much easier to accomplish.

Of course he would not ignore her kindness, and replied with a smile, "Good morning."

After saying hello, they each went about their own business.

After Chen Xu put away his briefcase, he picked up the cup on the table, went to the tea room to make a cup of tea, and returned to his seat. He saw Luo Xiyun coming. When he passed by, he glanced at him and went straight into the office.

Chen Xu put the teacup away, covered it with a lid, picked up the documents he needed, and followed Secretary Guo into the office.

The contract has been officially signed with Fangdong Group and all work must be started immediately. The next period of time will be very busy.

However, Liu Kun and Luo Xiyun are both very decisive people. They have started doing most of the preparatory work early in the morning. If they speed up a bit, it will definitely be done before the Spring Festival.

In reality, because Luo Xiyun was hospitalized for a period of time, Liu Kun could not completely get away, which slowed down the progress a lot. Now, she is following the whole process, and the progress is much faster.

The serious business was quickly discussed, and next came the department's routine morning meeting.

"Assistant Chen."

Chen Xu and his friend were about to leave when Luo Xiyun stopped him. After Secretary Guo left and the door closed, she said, "I have washed the scarf. I forgot it in the car. I will give it to you after get off work."

Chen Xu said, "Okay, after get off work, I'll go to the garage with you."

"Let's go, the morning meeting is about to start." Luo Xiyun followed him out of the office and headed towards the meeting room.

…………

The morning passed quickly and it was time for lunch.

Chen Xu made an appointment with Lao Tang to have lunch together. Last week, with his recommendation, Lao Tang also joined the electronics sales department.

Old Tang heard from somewhere that it was he who recommended it and insisted on treating him to a meal.

For him, this was just a piece of cake. Besides, the electronics sales department would continue to increase its staff in the future, and Old Tang had a lot of experience in the company, so he would be transferred there sooner or later.

Old Tang wanted to treat him to a meal, and he didn't refuse.

As a result, Old Tang took him to a nearby Japanese restaurant. To be honest, he didn't really like Japanese food, it just didn't suit his taste. However, he didn't ask to change places, after all, this was also Old Tang's good intention.

Old Tang is usually very frugal, he usually eats fast food or a bowl of instant noodles. He won't go to restaurants unless necessary, let alone Japanese restaurants, it is probably his first time here.

The two of them asked for a small private room, and it was obvious that Old Tang was planning to spend a lot of money this time.

"You'll have to spend money this time." Chen Xu said jokingly after the dishes were ordered and served.

Old Tang didn't seem to care. He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, let out a long breath, and said, "Actually, I was originally planning to change jobs, and I've already found the next one."

The smile on Chen Xu's face disappeared. Seeing that he looked a little heavy, she didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.

He could understand why Lao Tang had such an idea. Lao Tang was the core of the advertising department and Lao Wang's most trusted subordinate. As a result, the electronics sales department had no place for him in the transfer of personnel several times. It was because he had no backing and no one spoke for him.

In this way, Old Tang, who was neither here nor there, was stuck there. If it weren't for Chen Xu's recommendation, he would probably have to wait until the online channel started operating and the department expanded again before he was transferred here.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things." Old Tang quickly adjusted his mentality, "Now, my position has been promoted, and my salary has also increased. I won't say anything extra. Let's drink this glass of wine."

Chen Xu picked up the wine glass in front of him, clinked it with his, and drank it all in one gulp.

Old Tang also did it, picked up the chopsticks and said, "Let's eat something."

"When my wife found out, she was happier than I was. The next day, she bought me a watch to celebrate my promotion."

After two glasses of wine, Old Tang became more talkative, showing a watch on his left wrist, with an indescribable joy on his face.

Chen Xu recognized that it was the electronic watch he had always wanted to buy, and said sincerely, "Sister-in-law is so good to you."

"By the way, you don't have a girlfriend now, right?" Old Tang suddenly asked.

…………

It was lunchtime, and Luo Xiyun was about to ask Secretary Guo to order a takeaway when she received a call from Liu Yumeng, asking her to have lunch together. She had a lot of things on hand and didn't want to go.

"I'm here already, come quickly." Liu Yumeng didn't give her a chance to refuse. She hung up the phone and then sent her an address.

She looked and saw it was the Japanese restaurant nearby. They had gone there together to eat when it first opened some time ago and it was quite authentic.

Thinking it wasn't far, she hurried over.

After arriving, she found the room number, opened the door, and saw Liu Yumeng sitting on the tatami. Just as she was about to speak, she put her finger in front of her lips and pointed to the next room.

At this moment, she heard voices coming from the side. The voices were not very loud due to the wall, and if she didn't listen carefully, it would be easy to ignore them.

Immediately, she recognized one of the voices as Chen Xu's.

She sat opposite Liu Yumeng and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

"I didn't expect to meet him by chance. It's really fate." Liu Yumeng also lowered her voice.

There is only a wall between the private rooms, so the soundproofing is not very good. However, as long as you don't shout loudly on purpose, normal conversations will not disturb us.

At this moment, Chen Xu and the other person next door were quite excited and spoke a little louder. Chen Xu's voice was stronger, so it could be heard.

"By the way, you don't have a girlfriend yet, right?"

When Luo Xiyun heard these words coming from next door, he clenched his hands subconsciously.

"I'm so busy with work now, how can I have time to find a girlfriend?" This is Chen Xu's voice.

"My wife has a cousin who just graduated this year and doesn't have a boyfriend yet. She's very beautiful. This is her photo."

"You asked me out so you could arrange a blind date for me?"

“It’s just about young people making friends.”

Luo Xiyun's hands tightened, and suddenly she remembered who the voice belonged to: Tang Wenhai, who had just been transferred from the advertising department and was a former colleague of Chen Xu in the same department.

Her eyes were a little cold and she wrote down the name.
