Cen Yu carried her laptop into Lou Baichuan's office and found that Lou was not standing behind his desk, but rather with his back to her, looking out the window.
Their company is located on the 31st floor of the building.
Lou Baichuan is a mid-level leader, so he has a separate office, which happens to be in a corner of this Grade A office building.
The entire office features floor-to-ceiling windows, ensuring ample natural light... This is a high-tech industrial park, and from Lou Baichuan's perspective, the buildings outside are all visible.
Cen Yu also saw something particularly stupid—
I??XX.
I wonder who rented the exterior wall of that building a hundred meters away to make a public confession.
"What parts need to be modified?" Cen Yu didn't care whether Lou Baichuan was looking at the scenery outside thinking, "It's getting cold, let the unlucky company go bankrupt." He still had to follow the plot. He didn't want Lou Baichuan to be late for the final dinner and disrupt his progress in completing the mission.
Lou Baichuan turned around when he heard Cen Yu's voice.
As dusk settled outside, his office was even brighter, with lighting equipment so bright it seemed to rival the sun's brilliance, allowing Lou Baichuan to clearly see Cen Yu's face.
He looked at Cen Yu's indifferent and tired expression, and at the document that the other party had sent just before leaving get off work...
A good leader knows when their employees are slacking off.
He knew Cen Yu was deliberately slacking off, which is why he asked him to stay before leaving get off work to revise the document.
Lou Baichuan's gaze passed through Cen Yu and then fell upon Gao Lanyuan, who was sitting in her office playing on her phone behind the frosted glass.
"We'll finish this quickly."
Lou Baichuan gestured for Cen Yu to turn on the computer he had brought in.
Cen Yu turned on his computer screen and brought up the plan.
Lou Baichuan came up behind Cen Yu and pointed to several places on the screen—
“I think this needs to be changed.” He gestured for Cen Yu to move aside a little, his fingers lightly sliding across the other person’s computer touchpad.
Because of limited space, and in order to clearly explain to Cen Yu the specific modifications and data required to the plan—
Lou Baichuan bent down, his body inevitably getting closer to Cen Yu, who was sitting in the chair.
His elbow, used to operate the touchpad, almost occupied the space between Cen Yu's chest and the computer. Because they were so close, Cen Yu could smell a faint scent of perfume emanating from the other man's cuff.
A warm aroma of tobacco and black tea.
It was very faint; only when the two of them were so close, and Lou Baichuan had taken off his suit jacket and was only wearing a shirt, could one smell the faint fragrance emanating from the other's every move.
"...Are you listening?"
Cen Yu suddenly noticed that Lou Baichuan paused in his speech, and then looked at him.
"Of course." Cen Yu wouldn't let Lou Baichuan notice that he was daydreaming.
He looked at the screen. "I'm watching."
Lou Baichuan didn't delve into the matter and continued talking.
There aren't too many things that need to be changed, just some minor ones.
It's probably impossible to explain everything in a short time just by making annotations; it's definitely more convenient to talk face-to-face... That being said, Cen Yu still felt that Lou Baichuan was doing it on purpose.
He glanced at the time in the upper right corner of the computer and realized that half an hour had passed since he came in.
Lou Baichuan, of course, also noticed his gaze.
"We'll talk about the rest tomorrow." His fingers left the touchpad, returning to a social distance—or perhaps a safe distance—from Cen Yu. Standing there, he could easily see Cen Yu's profile, the beauty mark under his eye, and... the piercing mark on his ear.
It wasn't until Cen Yu turned to look at him with a puzzled expression that he realized he had been staring at Cen Yu's ear for a while.
Lou Baichuan knew what he should say, otherwise the atmosphere between them would become too ambiguous. "You've had your ears pierced?"
Cen Yu was surprised that Lou Baichuan had been staring at her for so long, so she asked the question.
He stood up, closed his laptop, held it in his hand, and then touched his earlobe. "You mean this?"
"Yes, I did fight him."
Cen Yu said nonchalantly.
He pushed open the door to Lou Baichuan's office, and his eyes immediately lit up when he looked at Gao Lanyuan—
"Alright? Let's go have dinner then!" Gao Lanyuan pointed to her phone. "They keep asking when you're coming."
Lou Baichuan followed Cen Yu out of the office, turning off the light in his own office as he did so.
"Soon, 20 minutes," Lou Baichuan said to Gao Lanyuan.
Gao Lanyuan looked at him with a grin, but then turned her gaze to Cen Yu, and took the computer from his hand and put it on Cen Yu's desk. "Hurry up, I'm so hungry, Brother Cen."
Cen Yu turned to look at Lou Baichuan.
"Let's go down together," Lou Baichuan said.
Upon seeing this, Gao Lanyuan immediately reached out and shouted, then leaned close to Cen Yu and handed him her phone, saying, "Brother Cen, take a look at the menu, they've almost finished ordering."
...
When they arrived at the parking lot, Cen Yu stood by Lou Baichuan's car and hesitated for a moment.
Theoretically, he should be sitting in the passenger seat, but the problem is that besides himself, there's also Gao Lanyuan... Should Gao Lanyuan sit in the back seat?
Anyway, it's impossible for the two of them to sit in the back seat together. It's hilarious. It's not like it's a Didi ride-hailing service where Lou Baichuan came specifically to drive.
"Brother Cen, I want to sit in the front."
Before Cen Yu could figure out how to arrange the seats, Gao Lanyuan came close like a big dog and opened the passenger door in front of Cen Yu.
"I get a little carsick, so it's better to sit in the front."
"...Don't you drive to work?" Cen Yu questioned Gao Lanyuan's claim that she got carsick.
