Chapter 01 Chapter 1
Weiming’s Mondays are always the busiest, especially when they fall on the first of every month.
In the spacious office, only the sounds of hurried footsteps and keyboards can be heard. Everyone’s hands and desks are full of documents.
“Ding Dong~”
The sound of the automatic glass door rang, and everyone in the president’s office looked at the newcomer.
The wall clock on the glass door just pointed to nine o’clock.
“Good morning.” The young man carrying the KFC breakfast smiled gently, and he was not nervous or embarrassed about the extreme operation of arriving at the post on time.
"Secretary Chen!!!"
"Secretary Chen, you're finally here!"
"Secretary Chen, please save us!"
Everyone stood up suddenly and ran towards the young man like zombies that we often see in computer pop-up ads recently.
The young man immediately took a step back.
He widened his eyes, put his hands behind his back, grabbed his hot breakfast and said, "What's wrong? You look like the sky is falling?"
"Oh, oh, let me go!" A short man squeezed out from the back and finally showed his head.
"Wu Tingmiao, you go." The young man raised his chin and motioned for the short man to speak.
Wu Tingmiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly: "We have just exported last month's summary report, but after careful verification, we found that the R&D department was missing a piece of experimental data, and the marketing department was missing two background check files!"
"All departments are busy today. We made several internal calls and people went downstairs several times, but they just said that they had passed it and didn't have time to help us find it!"
The summary reports of various departments are files that President Lian has to look at every week. If there is something missing, other departments can push it to them, and their president's office will be in trouble!
The young man hesitated for a moment, then laughed again, "Why are you so panicked about this matter?"
He walked to the innermost part, sat down leisurely in front of an office desk that seemed to be seldom used and had a little dust on the top.
As he walked, all the people in the CEO's office followed him, like ducklings following their mother, anxious and at a loss.
The young man turned on his computer, retrieved the old system files, and casually sent an email to the department where the files were missing. Then he took out his mobile phone and made a call -
"Engineer He, it's me, Chen Xun. I remember that your R&D department made a system for automatically uploading experimental data, but last Friday the electrician had a quarterly maintenance and the power was temporarily cut off for half an hour. I just need a copy. Is it because the system was powered off and the upload was not successful?"
The person on the other end of the phone said something that made Chen Xun smile, "If you like to drink it, then I'll make it for you. It's not available for purchase. I, Chen's Health Shop, am not just talking."
The marketing department was even more relaxed next.
Chen Xun, contrary to his usual gentleness, solemnly sent the historical emails he had just exported to the other party, and casually sent a WeChat voice message:
"Mr. Liu, your marketing department has not sent out background check reports for these two companies for a whole week. If you don't, these two companies will be removed from the list of contractors as background check units with missing documents at today's regular meeting."
The serious expression lasted only a few seconds, and Chen Xun raised the corners of his mouth, "I know your marketing department is under a lot of pressure, but there will be no order without rules. For the benefit of the company, I have to be a bad guy for once."
Putting down his phone, Chen Xun checked his mailbox and sent the three emails he had just received to everyone.
He waved his phone at everyone, "Done, let's get started."
"Oh oh oh!!!"
"You are worthy of it, Secretary Chen!"
"Secretary Chen, you are my god!"
Everyone cheered, and the whole office was in an uproar.
Wu Tingmiao, as the most senior employee in the President's Office besides Chen Xun, had to admire Chen Xun's way of controlling people.
That Engineer He was a veteran cadre who retired from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He had good skills, but his temper was too bad. He was like a hard stone, heartless and heartless. No one could talk to him.
Director Liu, not to mention, was a slick old man from the marketing department. He was the best at talking. Every time he was clearly wrong, he would say that others were too fussy. Many people had fallen into his hands.
But these two people, who were regarded as ferocious beasts in their eyes,
were as obedient as kittens in Chen Xun's hands!
"You are worthy of it." Wu Tingmiao sorted out the documents, came to Chen Xun and praised him.
Chen Xun had heard too many flattering words, he just smiled knowingly, patted Wu Tingmiao on the shoulder, "You can do it too."
While there was still half an hour before the regular meeting, Chen Xun picked up the breakfast bag and walked to the elevator.
Instead of pressing the down elevator to the conference room, he pressed the up button.
As everyone knows, the floor above the president's office is the office of Weiming CEO Lian Xufeng.
Wu Tingmiao's footsteps stopped abruptly, stunned, and retreated.
Chen Xun responded and laughed so hard that his belly burst into laughter. When the elevator arrived, he remembered something and quickly said to Wu Tingmiao, who was standing outside and waving his hands mechanically, "There is a new employee today. He is going through the formalities in the Human Resources Department. You can take care of him."
"I promise to complete the order!" Wu Tingmiao saluted in a standard way. After the elevator closed, he said to himself with lingering fear, "As long as I don't have to contact General Manager Lian, anything is fine..."
*
The President's Office is located on the top floor of the 30th floor of Weiming Building. It is the tallest building in the city. It overlooks the city and the river, and has a broad view.
Chen Xun walked into the President's Office with a KFC breakfast and knocked on the door.
"Dong Dong" twice, no sound came from inside.
Chen Xun frowned in confusion, turned the doorknob, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Lian?"
The tall man sat in front of the French window with his back to Chen Xun.
The leather office chair made him look a little gloomy.
With a lurch of his long legs, the man turned to Chen Xun.
"You just came back?"
Lian Xufeng stood up, spread his legs, walked to Chen Xun in three or two steps, and took his KFC breakfast bag, "Didn't you say not to call me Mr. Lian in private?"
"I'm afraid there's someone in your office."
When their fingertips touched, Chen Xun pulled his hand back unconsciously, and the brown paper bag almost fell, but was caught steadily by Lian Xufeng's other hand.
"What's wrong?"
Lian Xufeng raised his head and looked directly into Chen Xun's dark eyes.
Chen Xun is not an Omega in the universal sense. He is neither gentle nor coquettish, and he does not have the beauty that can turn everyone upside down. Rather than being an Omega, he is more like a Beta.
After knowing each other for more than 20 years, Lian Xufeng knew that there were few things that could make Chen Xun lose his mind.
He was a little curious, what exactly was it, or who was it?
The sharp eagle eyes observed Chen Xun's eyes scrutinizingly.
The transparent black glass beads could not reveal any emotions.
Chen Xun held his breath, took a step back, and tried his best to force a smile, "I slept too late last night, let's eat quickly, otherwise the regular meeting will start."
He walked quickly to the mahogany desk, took a deep breath and adjusted his facial expression when Lian Xufeng was not paying attention, and slowly took the coffee out of the bag.
A cup of hot American coffee, nothing added.
A cup of iced American coffee, with two large portions of vanilla syrup, and a portion of concentrated milk hidden in the corner.
"Why did you order American coffee?" Chen Xun took a sip of hot American coffee and frowned silently.
Hot American coffee is still not as delicious as iced one.
"Don't you like to drink it? Let me taste it." Lian Xufeng walked forward nonchalantly and stuffed a chicken panini into Chen Xun's hand. "Only you can drink something so bitter."
Chen Xun didn't say anything. He secretly glanced at Lian Xufeng as he added milk to coffee, pursed his face and drank the coffee, while sighing silently in his heart.
You have to drink something bitter to keep yourself awake and alive.
Lian Xufeng finished the panini in three bites, drank his full-sugar Americano with difficulty, went to the bathroom to wash his hands and came out.
"Next time you move in with me, you'll be exhausted from driving half an hour from the old house every day."
"It's not that long, and my husband has arranged a driver for me." Chen Xun smiled at his Americano.
The young man's profile exuded a gentle aura, and even Lian Xufeng, who was used to seeing it, was stunned.
He took a sip of water to dispel the bitter taste of coffee in his mouth, and pouted his lips in dissatisfaction, "With Uncle Zhong here, do you dare to use the people arranged by my father?"
"Young Master..." Chen Xun pursed his lips helplessly.
It was rare to hear these two words from his mouth, and Lian Xufeng stared at Chen Xun unhappily.
"I think you just learned bad things from Uncle Zhong, what young master, young master..." He suddenly stretched out his long hand, twisted Chen Xun's neck, and pulled Chen Xun into his arms, then lowered his head and threatened, "Do you still dare to say it?"
The hot breath hit his face, and the man's lips were close.
Chen Xun knew clearly that as long as he turned his head, he would kiss Lian Xufeng.
The throbbing heartbeat was clamoring for a kiss.
But he didn't dare.
The boiling cells steamed his cheeks. Chen Xun tried his best to restrain himself from looking at Lian Xufeng, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Lian Xufeng was shocked and immediately let go of his hand. He put his hands on Chen Xun's shoulders and asked: "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Chen Xun is an Omega after all. Was he too rough just now?
Lian Xufeng was very flustered and fiddled with Chen Xun's arm to see if he hurt him.
"Nothing." Chen Xun's eyes sparkled, and he tried to raise a calm smile. "The regular meeting is about to start, let's go."
Lian Xufeng stared at him motionlessly. Suddenly, the man turned around and took a step, pulled open the drawer in the middle of the desk, grabbed a handful, and quickly walked towards Chen Xun.
"What is it?"
Although Chen Xun was puzzled, he still spread out his hands and took what was in Lian Xufeng's palm -
a pile of chocolates.
Wrapped in blue sugar paper, it was round and produced by a local old-fashioned candy manufacturer.
"Eat a candy to calm your mind." Lian Xufeng picked up a candy from Chen Xun's hand, peeled off the sugar paper, and stuffed it into Chen Xun's red lips.
A cool sweetness spread from the tip of the tongue. It was a mint chocolate.
Chen Xun suddenly remembered the night when he was eighteen.
It was a very hot summer day. The dark clouds covered the moon and stars at night, and the cicadas kept people awake all night.
He and Lian Xufeng couldn't sleep, so they hid in the room and played board games secretly in the moonlight.
Just when he was thinking about the next move, Lian Xufeng suddenly raised his head, stared at him with his eyes, and crawled towards him with his hands.
"Xunxun, do you smell anything?"
"No? Is it the aromatherapy in the room?"
"No, no, it's the smell on you... It seems like... mint chocolate..."
Memory and reality overlapped, Chen Xun blinked, looking at Lian Xufeng in confusion, "How come you have so many?"
"I bought a bunch last time." Lian Xufeng took another one from Chen Xun's hand and put it in his mouth happily, "I just like this taste, it's delicious."
Lian Xufeng just likes to eat sweets.
A sour feeling surged into Chen Xun's throat.
The chocolate in his mouth didn't even taste sweet at all.
He turned his head, trying his best to hide his regretful expression, put the chocolate into his trouser pocket, and urged softly: "If you don't leave now, you will be late."
Lian Xufeng looked at Chen Xun's slightly flushed cheeks, and then he was completely relieved, "Let's go."
Chen Xun followed behind Lian Xufeng silently.
He looked at the tall back of the man, remembered his panic just now, and shook his head silently.
How could he not control himself?
It's been ten years.
He fell in love with Lian Xufeng, and it has been exactly ten years.
There is still a sequel to the night of eighteen.
He and Lian Xufeng differentiated into Omega and Alpha at the same time.
The whole room is filled with the smell of pheromones.
Lian Xufeng's pheromones are like him, a warm smell after the sun shines on the bedding for several hours.
That was the first time Chen Xun smelled the strong pheromone smell on Lian Xufeng.
It was also the last time.
The pheromones of Omega and Alpha are naturally compatible. The higher the matching degree, the more the two will be attracted to each other, fall in love with each other, get married and have children.
The lower the matching degree, the more repulsive the pheromones of both parties will be. Even if they are forced to be together, they cannot live together for a long time.
Chen Xun walked forward step by step, but his heart was tightly clenched and ached.
What's the use of liking? What's the use of loving?
He is the adopted son of the Lian family's housekeeper, and Lian Xufeng is the young master of the main family. His status is natural...
Even the matching degree of pheromones is only a pitiful 1%.
