Chapter 37: Every word and sentence is sincere and heartfelt.
While carefully applying medicine to the patient, Wen Chu was reflecting on Lu Mingxiao's ruthlessness that day, and at the same time, she thought that the feel of this person was really quite good. The shape of the shoulder blades and back was excellent, with broad shoulders and a narrow back, and a rather slender waist. He was muscular when undressed, which wasn't so obvious when he was dressed.
Ah, I really want to touch the front.
Is this setting also borrowed from Lu Ming in real life?
Wen Chu couldn't help but drift off into thought, recalling the days she had worked with the real-life "big devil." He had a good sense of style; although his work clothes were always very formal, she had seen Lu Ming's casual wear quite a few times, only never this revealing. If it weren't for this dramatic turn of events, she might never have had the chance to feast her eyes on him like this.
This really shattered her perception that domineering CEOs in real life are all overweight and have no sense of body control.
You absolutely must keep it up!
Lu Ming had already endured it several times, but he felt that the woman's hands were becoming increasingly unrestrained in touching his body, and her techniques were getting more and more inappropriate. It no longer seemed like she was applying medicine, but rather like she was taking advantage of him. He finally couldn't bear it any longer and turned to look at her again, asking impatiently, "Are you done yet? How long are you going to keep touching me? Does applying medicine really take this long?"
Wen Chu snapped out of her daze and quickly withdrew her hand from Lu Ming's waist: "Oh, okay, okay!"
Lu Ming picked up the shirt next to him and was about to put it on when Wen Chu stopped him, saying, "Don't put on any clothes!"
Lu Ming's face practically screamed: "You scoundrel, what else do you want to do?"
"The ointment isn't completely dry yet, you can sleep like this. Lie down for a while, don't be shy, I'm leaving now, goodnight, you're welcome!" Wen Chu explained with a smile. She stood up, touched Lu Ming's biceps one last time before leaving, and then, satisfied, slipped away like the wind.
"..." Lu Ming listened to the girl's footsteps as she went downstairs, let out a slight sigh, and put down his shirt.
For the next two days, apart from showing concern for the man's wound and sending him good morning and good night greetings, Wen Chu didn't "bother" Lu Ming. In a way, she was indeed a true workaholic, to the point that she could still enjoy reading code and practicing in this strange world.
After all, to put on a flawless performance, one must be well-prepared. Knowing Lu Ming as she did, she was certain he would give her another chance to prove her abilities. He was like that in real life too; he wouldn't refuse to hire someone just because they were new.
So she diligently spent her time studying in the top-floor office of the Comtech headquarters, while continuously deepening her understanding of Comtech.
It only took Wen Chu three days to transform the company's employees from initially treating her with amusement, assuming she didn't understand and giving her simple tasks to get by, to being somewhat incredulous and tentatively increasing the difficulty, to finally discovering that she did understand the technology and becoming cautious and carefully answering her questions with various materials.
Her demeanor at work is completely different from her usual carefree self. When she is serious about her work, she is meticulous and demanding, pursues efficient communication, and will point out loopholes incisively, order rectification, and give a deadline. She doesn't like to beat around the bush with her employees.
She had to admit that during the two years she worked with Lu Ming in the real world, she learned a lot from men about how to manage subordinates and how to act pretentious and bureaucratic.
At that time, Wen Chu had been with the company for less than a year when Lu Ming promoted her because of her abilities, putting her in charge of the core team and managing more than a dozen technical elites. At that time, she was just a novice who was focused on technology and was not good at communicating with customers, managing employees, or team communication. She was often questioned and treated perfunctorily. She herself felt that she was not cut out for this job and that she should just work hard on innovation on her own.
It was after Lu Ming discovered the problem that he repeatedly corrected her speaking style and behavior, adjusting her aura in every aspect from language and demeanor to communication skills. Wen Chu learned from him and gradually became the "Director Wen" who can now stand on her own.
Although Wen Chu scolded people and made them work overtime quite a bit during this process, she also gave people the nickname "big devil".
But when she stands in her current position and looks back at the transformation she has undergone, there is no doubt that Lu Ming in reality is a qualified and good boss, and even more so, a mentor for a certain stage in her life.
When Wen Chu was not working, she would look out the window at the tall buildings and bustling traffic, and sometimes she would wonder what the other person was doing in that world.
On the other side.
Lu Ming sat in his office, his eyes fixed on the computer screen in front of him. The screen showed an hour of surveillance footage of Wen Chu sitting in the technical department rewriting code.
He watched as the girl never touched her phone to seek help from the outside world. She only opened her computer to search for some information and then continued writing the code and programming interface. She was truly doing all the output and debugging herself, and her technique was professional. When she finally finished, she stretched, snapped her fingers to the person next to her, and said something. Even without seeing her face, Lu Ming knew that the woman must have had a smug and confident look on her face.
As it approached the end of the workday, Lu Ming glanced at the time, then looked out the door with an unchanging expression. There was no sound from outside.
Just as he turned away and was about to leave, there was a knock on the door. His eyelids twitched, he straightened his posture, and said, "Come in."
Upon seeing that it was Luo Wen who walked in, he turned his gaze back to the computer screen and said expressionlessly, "What is it? Speak."
Luo Wen had been with the company for two years. If his boss was an iceberg who never showed his emotions, then he was a sensitive emotion detector. Even if the corner of his boss's mouth only turned up or down by a mere 0.01%, he could keenly detect it. For example, right now, he could read a signal from his boss's expression, which was probably disappointment and annoyance at the thought of 'Why did you come in? I don't want to see you.'
Luo Wen was confused. He hadn't done anything lately, so why was Luo Wen finding him annoying?
He reported on the work progress and tomorrow's arrangements, while Lu Ming glanced at his watch and then at his phone, as if waiting for a message from someone but not receiving one. Not wanting to show his frustration, his expression grew even colder. To avoid becoming a target for someone's anger, he quickly finished speaking and slipped away: "That's the current situation. Old Chen is already waiting for you downstairs."
Lu Ming stood up: "I'll drive myself today, let him go home from get off work."
Luo Wen nodded: "Oh, okay." Then he watched his boss leave.
Lu Ming got into the driver's seat but didn't start the car right away. He glanced at his phone, but there was still no activity. Finally, as if he had convinced himself, he opened his call log, scrolled down to a number, and dialed it directly.
"If you want to cry, cry on my shoulder..." Unlike his own ringtone, the woman's ringtone was an English song. Lu Ming listened for a while, then twitched his lips speechlessly. This woman even liked to listen to songs that were self-indulgent.
His Adam's apple bobbed as he thought about what to say, patiently listening to the whole climax, but no one answered and the call automatically ended.
...
His patience was short-lived. He didn't answer, so he tossed his phone onto the passenger seat, seemingly annoyed by his unnecessary action, and then decisively started the car and drove off.
Wen Chu walked out of her bathroom wrapped in a towel, humming a song, when she saw her phone screen light up. She went over to look and exclaimed, "Holy crap! Lu Ming actually called me?!"
As if she had missed a very important interview call, Wen Chu was shocked and immediately called the number back.
After ringing for a while, it connected, and a pleasant, flat male voice came from the other end: "Hello."
"I was just taking a shower, and my phone is on the bed!" Wen Chu quickly explained, then asked expectantly, "Why did you call me? Have you thought it through and decided to hire me as a technical consultant? Is that it?"
Lu Ming, driving and looking at the road ahead, asked, "Are you home?"
Wen Chu dried her hair and said, "Yeah."
Hearing the rustling sounds on the other end of the phone, Lu Ming asked again, "You get off work so much earlier than others?"
"I've been studying all day, from morning till night, and I'm exhausted. Can't I come home early to pamper my dehydrated skin?" Wen Chu said happily.
This house is full of high-end skincare products, might as well use them; life is meant to be enjoyed.
"It's hard to believe you work all day."
"You won't die if you give others a little more trust."
Lu Ming scoffed.
Wen Chu couldn't contain herself any longer and asked, "Is it really true?"
"no."
"Huh?" Wen Chu immediately deflated, and for a moment wanted to hang up the phone. "Then why did you call me? If it's bad news, then forget it, I don't want to hear it."
"It's nothing, I just pressed the wrong button."
"???" Wen Chu leaned against the headboard and rolled her eyes at him: "I'm speechless. So what have you decided?"
There was a long silence on the other end, and Wen Chu almost thought the other person had hung up. She picked up her phone and glanced at it, only to find that the call time was still running. So she put the phone to her ear again and said hello. Only then did she hear Lu Ming ask, "You want to participate in the competition for Baiyue, is it really just for...me?"
The man's tone carried seven parts doubt and three parts unease.
"Yes, I've said it a million times. Isn't this a perfectly reasonable and normal reason? Can you really bear to watch your loved one lose, and choose to stand by and do nothing when you have the ability to help?"
Who says I'll lose without you?
"But with me, your victory is even more certain. You're already a step behind in technology, so shouldn't you use this to fully demonstrate Baiyue's development potential? At least increase your credibility."
"I can't give you anything."
"I didn't ask you for anything. Just consider me idle anyway. Oh, if you really feel bad about it... you can promise me one thing."
"What's up?"
Wen Chu chuckled slyly at the man's wary tone. "Don't worry, it's not an unreasonable request. It's just that you have to arrange a private office for me in Baiyue, preferably right next to yours, so I can work there directly. The key point is, it has to be close to you."
"...You're hopeless."
"Of course I can be saved. Aren't my medications calling me right now?"
Lu Ming gripped the steering wheel tightly, his brows furrowed, and asked, "How do you manage to say such cheesy things without batting an eye? I wouldn't even dare to listen to you say it."
Wen Chu pinched her cheeks, trying hard not to laugh out loud, "These are my heartfelt words, how are they greasy! Every word is sincere!"
Lu Ming sighed helplessly, then said seriously, "I can give you a chance, but I also have to be responsible for my employees and the company. I will arrange a fair test in private. If you can beat the person I choose... then we'll talk about it."
"No problem, it's settled then!"
Wen Chu agreed very readily, and it turned out that giving her milk was the right thing to do!
She continued, "Let's do it the day after tomorrow. I'll give you one day tomorrow to prepare the questions. Finish them on Friday, and then you can come out with me on Saturday."
Lu Mingben had wanted to ask if she needed some time to prepare, but unexpectedly, she said she would give him a day to prepare instead. He hesitated for a moment: "Are you sure you don't need to prepare for a few more days? I won't give you the questions, and the test won't be easy."
"No need, nobody was prepared, so it's pretty fair."
Since the other party was so confident, Lu Ming didn't waste any more words: "Whatever, think it over yourself. But when did I say I'd hang out with you on Saturday?"
"You didn't say that, did you? I said it! You need to finish the task your dad gave you as soon as possible. There's no time like the present, let's hurry up and see what we can do!"
"..."
