Chapter 910 Lu Yuanqiu's appearance always brings a sense of security
After revising the PowerPoint presentation, Bai Qingxia sat quietly at the table eating, but her expression became blank, and she chewed the food in her mouth dozens of times before remembering to swallow.
I was hoping for a perfect day this morning, but it turned out to be even worse than yesterday. I even made the most basic mistake today. The old man's tone was unpleasant, but he was right. The person in charge of Xia Yiwan Noodles' project is not just someone who can make noodles. That's not the person in charge; that's the cook.
But Bai Qingxia knew very well that she was not a cook, and her goal was not even to be a good person in charge.
She is the heir.
This was not a wish imposed on her by her father; it was her own wish. She wanted to be the heir, and she had to be a good heir. The rhinoceros had to start from her father, be born, and continue and grow with her, so that its appearance would remain white forever.
Bai Qingxia quickened her eating pace. She hadn't been in the mood to check her phone all morning, but when she finally opened it, she saw that Lu Yuanqiu had replied to many messages, filling the entire screen.
Bai Qingxia paused, slowing her chewing. She freed her fingers to swipe across the screen. These messages not only explained why she had lost contact last night, but also why she had been drinking, and what she had talked about with Wei Zhiyu and the others.
Looking at Lu Yuanqiu's familiar profile picture and the numerous responses that followed, I felt my eyes welling up with tears again.
She continued eating and replied to Lu Yuanqiu.
Bai Qingxia: I just finished working and I know you were drunk!
Lu Yuanqiu replied quickly; thinking back, he had been replying very quickly these past few days, except for last night.
Lu Yuanqiu: Really? Have you had lunch yet?
Bai Qingxia: I'm eating!
After finishing her meal, Bai Qingxia closed her laptop and left the office according to her plan. She found an empty meeting room, went in, and closed the door tightly.
At this time, almost everyone is taking a lunch break, so no one will disturb her.
Looking at the empty desk and chair, she let out a deep breath, walked to the front, plugged the USB drive into the multimedia player, and projected the PowerPoint presentation onto the big screen.
Bai Qingxia held a laser pointer, a stiff smile on her face. She looked at the absurd, empty scene before her, the shadows of the morning making her open her mouth, but the sound seemed to be stuck in her throat.
Yeah, my dad's the company president, so why do I have to work so hard...?
But.
Identity is merely an add-on.
My confidence comes from the skills I acquire through hard work and practice.
Bai Qingxia stopped in her tracks, a melody suddenly floating into her mind. She opened her mouth and sang softly: "When I was little, when I was noisy and willful, my grandma would always sing to soothe me..."
She wanted to sing a few lines to warm up the crowd, but after staring at the air in front of her for a while, Bai Qingxia couldn't help but have a new idea.
She immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Lu Yuanqiu.
Bai Qingxia: Video chat with me!
Lu Yuanqiu: Miss me? Then call me! I'm in the office, and I'm free.
Bai Qingxia bent down and made a video call to Lu Yuanqiu using her laptop. Once the call connected, she moved the laptop forward on the table.
The video played Lu Yuanqiu's cheeky voice and exaggerated expression: "Yo yo yo! Let me see who couldn't help missing me, and is too embarrassed to say it, shame on you~"
Lu Yuanqiu's presence always brings a sense of security.
Bai Qingxia looked at him, her smile softening. She didn't respond to Lu Yuanqiu's words, but instead treated him as the only audience member, pointing her laser pointer at the PowerPoint presentation behind her and beginning her presentation: "Next, I will be giving you a progress report on the launch of Xia Yiwan Noodles' new product..."
Lu Yuanqiu, on the other end of the table, was taken aback for a moment, but reacted quickly, immediately sitting up straight and serious, looking like he was listening attentively.
Bai Qingxia's voice was clear, bright, and confident, a completely different person from her in the morning.
Only in front of Lu Yuanqiu could she become the confident girl on stage.
Lu Yuanqiu was always the backdrop that allowed her to perform most naturally.
"However, there are also some key issues at present." Bai Qingxia crossed her arms and paced back and forth in front of the long table. "These are the issues we need to tackle. First, the supply chain bottleneck, the fluctuation in the supply of raw materials for dehydrated vegetable packages..."
"My suggestion is to add two more vegetable package suppliers to the qualification review process, with the goal of ensuring a product yield rate of over 95%..."
"Second, cost recalculation and pricing strategy adjustment plan, target effect to lock in a new gross profit balance point, and formulate promotional hedging plan."
Lu Yuanqiu smiled frequently, responding and encouraging with nods.
Bai Qingxia is indeed a bit different, but the greater the change in her, the more Lu Yuanqiu can imagine how wronged she has been during this time.
Were you going to keep it from me all this time?
The girl in front of the long table waved the laser pointer in her hand, constantly switching the PowerPoint slides on the screen, explaining carefully and meticulously to the only audience member present.
Just like the boy who sang "Darkness Falls" for the only audience member back then.
Outside the meeting room, Xiao Li Feibiao quietly approached, peeked inside through the gap in the blinds, a smile appeared on his lips, and then turned and walked away.
Ten minutes later, the meeting "chaired" by Bai Qingxia came to an end.
Her voice softened, and the expression on her face seemed to suggest that she couldn't believe she could actually perform so well.
"Dear colleagues, our goal has never changed: to restore the original essence of 'human warmth' in every bowl of instant noodles."
"Great!!!" Lu Yuanqiu clapped loudly in his notebook and cheered.
Bai Qingxia pursed her lips slightly, her eyes were hot, but she forced herself not to shed tears.
She pulled the laptop closer, sat down, and looked at Lu Yuanqiu in the laptop. Suddenly, the girl raised her hand, clenched her fist, and slammed it into the lens, as if she had hit Lu Yuanqiu on the head.
"Ah~" Lu Yuanqiu tilted his head back in response.
Bai Qingxia gazed at the other person with eyes full of autumn water, only to find that he just smiled at her without saying a word. She couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Lu Yuanqiu stared into her eyes with a gentle smile on his face. Bai Qingxia smiled as well, but Lu Yuanqiu seemed to have something to ask, yet his expression showed hesitation.
Bai Qingxia: "Speak."
Lu Yuanqiu finally spoke up: "Don't hold back in front of me, you little crybaby. Are you having some trouble?"
Bai Qingxia was stunned. Her hands, which were folded in front of the notebook, subconsciously rose up, and sure enough, tears began to fall uncontrollably. She was very indignant that Lu Yuanqiu could see through her at a glance.
“Xiaxia is a crybaby by nature. If she’s wronged but doesn’t cry when she sees me, she must be holding it in,” Lu Yuanqiu explained with a smile. “But it doesn’t matter. Xiaxia can cry without restraint in front of me.”
Bai Qingxia wiped away her tears, her voice filled with grievance as she reported to the person in the notebook: "It's not working anymore... the method of treating them like radishes and cabbages isn't working anymore..."
