The two stood in the corridor waiting for a long time, and Yao Hong finally finished her call. He stared at the screen of his phone, and probably because the other party hung up first, Yao Hong closed the flip cover of the phone with a sigh of relief.
When she turned around and saw Li Cheng and Yan Hua standing at the end of the corridor, Yao Hong's face turned ugly.
The three of them just looked at each other from across the corridor, no one said anything.
At this time, the elevator came up and the typist in the office came out. When she saw the scene in the corridor, she didn't know what to do.
She looked at the three of them in panic and was about to leave. Li Cheng quickly stopped her and said to her, "Clean up the meeting room."
When the typist heard this, he rushed to the meeting room as if he had been pardoned.
The three of them were left alone in the corridor again. Li Cheng felt that this was too ridiculous, so he quickly said, "Director Yao, here are the meeting minutes. Please review them."
Li Cheng walked towards him while speaking...
Yao Hong stepped down from the stage, took Li Cheng's meeting minutes, and walked towards the elevator while reading them...
An awkward situation was resolved in this way, but Li Cheng knew that the conflict was getting deeper and deeper.
Yao Hong did not argue with Yan Hua about changing the meeting time because Yan Hua felt more and more uneasy after he returned home at noon, so he told President Gao that the meeting time arranged by Director Yao was not suitable and she wanted to move it forward an hour.
When President Gao heard Yao Hong had arranged the meeting for 4:00, he almost cursed out loud. But when he heard Yan Hua wanted to change the time, he agreed immediately. However, he didn't forget to ask Yan Hua to notify Yao Hong.
Yan Hua was relieved, but when she called Yao Hong, her phone was turned off. So Yan Hua sent her a pager, but Yao Hong didn't call her back for some reason.
Yao Hong didn't call back, which was exactly what Yan Hua wanted. In fact, Yan Hua had called Yao Hong from a public phone in a grocery store, and she knew that Yao Hong, who was very busy all day, would rarely call back a number she didn't recognize.
So, the current situation is that Yao Hong is angry but can't express it. When she is angry, Yao Hong finds everything unpleasant.
Everyone else in the office was deliberately avoiding him, only Li Cheng stayed by his side and talked to him about the meeting.
After Li Cheng finished talking about the meeting, he said with a look of regret, "Director Yao, the branch has provided you with a mobile phone this time, and you don't have to pay for the phone bill. Why don't you turn it on?"
Yao Hong took out her cell phone and placed it on the table. Pointing at it, she said, "I got so busy that I forgot to charge it. I simply turned it off, thinking my pager wouldn't interfere."
"How could you forget to charge it? Aren't there two batteries?"
"I forgot to charge both."
Li Cheng sighed and thought to himself, this won’t do. You always forget to charge your phone. This phone is basically given to you in vain.
In the past month, the branch completely eliminated analog phones with poor call quality and purchased a batch of digital mobile phones.
This time, the branch was very generous and provided mobile phones to the heads of each department. Yao Hong was the head of the office, so the phone naturally belonged to him.
The Security Department is special. This time, they were equipped with two mobile phones, one with the armored car and the other in the hands of the temporary head, Lao Yue.
In fact, many people in the branch now have mobile phones, but they don’t use them often. Usually they are either in silent or vibrate mode, or like Yao Hong, they turn off the phone and keep it in their pocket.
Li Cheng and Yan Hua both have mobile phones, which are usually set to vibrate mode.
"You're late today. I called you on your phone, but it was off. I thought you were punctual for work and didn't go out unless you had something to do, so I thought I'd call you later. But there were so many people to notify, and by the time I thought of calling you, it was already past two. As a last resort, I called your pager and rushed to find you, but you weren't in the office. That's when I got anxious and searched everywhere for you..."
Li Cheng kept talking while Yao Hong listened calmly.
After Li Cheng finished speaking, Yao Hong said, "What do you mean by saying so much? I don't blame you. Besides, someone told me that you were munching on bread while talking on the phone at noon, so busy that you didn't even have time to rest."
Li Cheng quickly said, "Yes, yes, my stomach is still uncomfortable now, it's all because of the bread."
Yao Hong glanced at him. Li Cheng didn't see from his eyes that he wanted to treat her to a meal, so he whispered, "How about we go for a drink after get off work?"
Yao Hong was amused by his anger and said, "Drink, what are you drinking? President Gao called me today and said that tonight..."
Yao Hong didn't say anything more. Although he and Li Cheng had a good relationship, it wasn't to the point where they would tell each other everything. Li Cheng couldn't ask any more questions. After pouring him a cup of tea, he left his office.
After returning to his office, Li Cheng looked at Yan Hua for a long time before pointing at her and saying, "Sister, I knew you were not simple. I didn't expect that you are too lazy to even argue with him now."
Yan Hua asked, "Did he tell you?"
Li Cheng knew that his guess was right, and Yan Hua had indeed informed President Gao.
"Need I say more? If he didn't start a fight with you, then naturally it was President Gao who started it. Otherwise, no one could stop him in this war today."
Yan Hua smiled and thought to himself that although you are very smart, you are still young and don’t know how to take advantage of all the conditions you can.
At this time, Li Cheng glanced at her and said slowly, "President Gao is dissatisfied with the meeting time arranged by Yao Hong. That's inevitable. I just wonder if President Gao praised you. If your brother-in-law invites President Gao to dinner right now, you should have an 80% chance of replacing Yao Hong as director."
Yan Hua asked, "What about the other 20%?"
"The remaining 20% depends on God's will."
"Go away, where are these weirdos coming from? Come to my house after get off work tonight. Your brother-in-law said he's having dinner at home tonight, so come too."
Li Cheng had something to do tonight, so he politely declined her invitation.
Yan Hua smiled and said, "You will regret it if you don't go."
Li Cheng tilted his head slightly and looked at her with an innocent look, then slowly said: "Didn't you say that my brother-in-law was having dinner at home? How could I regret not going?"
Yan Hua didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at the time. He was about to say something, but suddenly he understood something and cursed with a smile: "You bad boy, how can you be so dirty at such a young age?"
Li Cheng laughed, then said "I'm leaving", turned around and left the office.
Li Cheng is going to meet someone tonight, and this person has left more than a dozen messages on Li Cheng's pager.
But the annoying thing was that the address on the pager kept changing, making it difficult for Li Cheng to figure out where to go.
Fortunately, the last message came, saying an exact address and that this was correct and the others were wrong.
Li Cheng could only smile bitterly and shake his head, thinking that even an address could be made so complicated, which clearly meant that tonight was not going to be a good night.
