Chapter 220 Chu Qi: I don’t know anything except work
Lu Shiman's face recovered quickly under Ji Linshen's care.
Some small marks can be covered with a light touch of foundation.
She followed Ji Linshen to the company every day, doing nothing but being able to entertain herself.
Soon it was the day of the annual meeting.
After the annual meeting, the company went on holiday. Lu Shiman excitedly leaned on the car window. This was her first time to experience a company's annual meeting.
She had worked for two companies before, but neither lasted until the Chinese New Year, and now she is still owed two months' salary.
Thinking of this, Lu Shiman became a little angry. Bosses who withheld wages from their employees were all beasts.
Sitting in the car from last year's meeting, Lu Shiman reached out and poked Chu Qi, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Are you going to perform?"
"I'm not performing." Chu Qi was a little confused, and his knuckles wrinkled the process chart. Why did the lady ask this for no reason?
His mind raced for a few times, and he suddenly turned around. The seat belt was tightening around his neck, and alarm bells went off in his heart. Was he going to do something weird again?
"I can't sing, I can't dance, I can't tell crosstalk, I can't do acrobatics, I can't do magic, I can't do the yangge dance, and I can't perform skits."
Chu Qi spoke as fast as the automatically played customer service voice, and he didn't even bother to pick up the tablet that slipped from his lap.
I was afraid that if I spoke too slowly, they would seize the opportunity and coax me onto the stage to perform.
Ji Linshen looked out the car window, tapping his fingertips on his knees to the rhythm of the annual meeting process. Listening to Chu Qi's slightly excited tone, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After following me for so many years, Chu Qi always looks indifferent and expressionless.
Now it is much more lively.
Lu Shiman was stunned by his chattering.
Chu Qi looked at the road through the rearview mirror and saw Man looking thoughtful. He hurriedly unlocked the tablet and added: "I don't know how to sing rhymes, tongue twisters, tell stories, or do double acts. I can't do anything except work."
He was really afraid that Lu Shiman would ask him to perform a show or something. How could he suppress new employees in the group with his death stare in the future?
Lu Shiman stared at Chu Qi's back for a while with a complicated expression, then tilted her head and tugged at Ji Linshen's sleeve.
Ji Linshen withdrew his gaze, put his ear close to her, and waited quietly for her to speak. The bulging veins on the side of his neck revealed his smile.
"Did you give Chu Qi too much work and put too much pressure on him?" Lu Shiman lowered her voice, a hint of worry between her brows. "How could a good person go crazy just like that?"
Although she lowered her voice deliberately, the car was so small and there was no tailgate, so the people in the front seat could hear her clearly.
Chu Qi's temples were throbbing.
Every time his wife said something, the driver held onto the steering wheel and nodded heavily.
His wife is right.
Some of Assistant Chu's recent behavior has indeed been abnormal. Madam is right. This person is under a lot of pressure. He either explodes or is driven crazy by the pressure.
Assistant Chu didn't explode, but he went crazy.
Chu Qi looked at the driver who kept nodding, with a speechless face, and tapped the car mat with the tip of his leather shoes in annoyance.
No, he doesn't agree with anything here!
"You'd better let him relax more. He's so pitiful. He probably hasn't even found a wife yet." Lu Shiman sighed regretfully and looked at Chu Qi with sympathy.
Chu Qi opened his mouth and closed it again, wanting to explain himself, but he didn't know where to start.
The source of all evil started when his young master threw a stainless steel basin at him.
From then on, it was as if he was forced to open some door.
As night falls and neon lights flicker, the building's LED screen is playing a New Year's greeting video from a popular boy band.
The annual meeting was extremely lively.
The ribbon gun at the sign-in area suddenly jammed, spraying gold powder all over the CFO's head, causing everyone to laugh.
The group's financial report this year was good, so the budget for the annual meeting was naturally high. The head of the administrative department is a veteran star chaser, and he worked overnight to prepare an 80-page PPT to demonstrate the economic benefits of inviting top stars.
When going through the approval process, I originally thought that the boss would reject it. After all, the cost was high, and in previous years this proposal was always directly rejected.
But this year is different. When she reported, she specially noted on the document that top star Song Tingzhou was the star that Lu Shiman often liked on Weibo.
Ji Linshen scanned this note and approved the budget immediately.
At the annual meeting, Lu Shiman was seated next to Ji Linshen.
Everyone in the group knows that President Ji’s special assistant is the future president’s wife.
The special assistant himself may not know it yet, as he is reading the program guide while chewing nuts with his front teeth.
The spotlights created a hazy mist on the red carpet. As the head of the group, Ji Linshen naturally had to go on stage to speak.
Lu Shiman looked up and watched Ji Linshen walk onto the stage. The light shone on his tall figure, and the tailoring on the back of his waist formed a neat inverted triangle outline.
The amber gemstone cufflinks reflect cold light as he arranges his speech.
The microphone stand was adjusted a few centimeters higher. The moment Ji Linshen gripped the microphone, Lu Shiman discovered that his ring finger was stained with the strawberry jam that she had just rubbed on it.
The sound of mobile phones taking photos rang out from the audience, and she suddenly felt her heart beating faster than during the lottery draw.
The annual meeting program slipped from her knees. Lu Shiman looked at the man under the spotlight and finally understood why Chu Qi said, "The stock market fluctuates when the young master gives a speech."
A half-bitten cherry fell from the fork into the champagne glass, and the splashing wine spread a pink mark on the tablecloth.
Lu Shiman looked at Ji Linshen, who was dignified and cold on the stage, and her throat suddenly tightened.
She took out her cell phone and pressed the shutter button more than ten times towards Ji Linshen on the stage, but several photos were still blurry even in the anti-shake mode.
She set one of the pictures of him raising his hand to adjust his tie as her phone wallpaper, and the screen reflected the tips of her ears that were burning.
She didn't hear a word of the speech.
The lip print on the edge of the champagne glass lengthened as the glass was spun, and his eyes were fixed on Ji Linshen's Adam's apple, which rolled as he spoke.
Every movement of his fingertips across the pages of his speech manuscript, and the waistline revealed by the fabric when he unbuttoned a single button on his suit, exuded seductive charm.
Behind him were the female employees screaming in subdued voices.
Behind them came the sound of gasps and the stomping of high heels. The female employees exclaimed in shock, "Boss Ji just looked over here!" "Did my mascara get dizzy?"
Ji Linshen's speech ended with thunderous applause from the audience.
The man who was shining on the stage unbuttoned a single button of his suit and returned to her side.
Lu Shiman immediately handed him a glass of water, her eyes curved, "Mr. Ji, drink some water to moisten your throat."
The ice water rippled slightly on the edge of the cup. Ji Linshen took a sip from her hand. His Adam's apple rolled as he glanced at her with a smile: "You were watching so intently, what did you hear?"
It's like a math teacher is testing students with a piece of chalk in his hand, ready to hit them.
Lu Shiman unconsciously rubbed the rim of the cup he had drunk from with her thumb, took a sip of the water he had drunk, and swept her tongue across her lower lip to wipe away the water droplets.
Staring into Ji Linshen's eyes, she smiled: "I heard it...you said thank you everyone."
