That was a scene from Xia Xiaobing's memory.
The new project encountered obstacles, which made her, already feeling extremely frustrated and down, even more anxious. In the CEO's office, she picked up a small vase on the table and smashed it violently.
The sharp "snap" was particularly jarring. Even the employees in the public office area outside could hear it.
Despite being separated by a door, they all remained silent, not daring to utter a sound.
However, there was one exception—Lu Zhe, who simply pushed open the door and walked in.
Lu Zhe asked with a relaxed expression, "President Xia, are you feeling down again?"
Xia Xiaobing braced herself on the table, panting heavily: "Get out!"
He laughed heartily: "Don't just go out by myself, you should come along too."
Xia Xiaobing: "What?"
"Let's go for a drive and relax."
As he said this, Lu Zhe walked to the desk, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her to the door in a few steps.
Xia Xiaobing forcefully shook off his hand: "Let go! What would it look like if other colleagues saw this?"
Lu Zhe shrugged, pushed open the door, and left it open. Xia Xiaobing rolled her eyes at him, hesitated for two seconds, and finally came out.
The two walked out of the company and down the elevator to the parking lot. By this time, several years had passed since Ji Chunqiu's company was founded, and Xia Xiaobing's original entry-level BMW had long been replaced by a more upscale and expensive Cayenne.
The car left the parking lot and drove south on the main road.
Lu Zhe was driving, and Xia Xiaobing sat in the passenger seat. But not long after they started driving, she couldn't help but ask, "Where are you taking me?"
"Didn't I say we'd go for a drive and relax?"
However, Xia Xiaobing was clearly not satisfied with this statement: "You should know that I don't like inefficient things."
Lu Zhe laughed and said, "But if the strategic direction is wrong, then the higher the efficiency, the further we will be from the correct answer."
Xia Xiaobing's expression darkened: "Are you saying that my strategic direction is wrong?"
Lu Zhe shook his head: "What I'm trying to say is that you're not in the right state right now. And I think you should have realized it yourself, it's probably because of the pressure you're under, you're getting angry very easily right now."
Xia Xiaobing curled her lip: "Just became the project manager, and you already dare to point out the boss's mistakes?"
Lu Zhe laughed and said, "I'm not trying to find fault, I just see you're under a lot of pressure, so I'm sharing some stress-relieving methods with you. For example, right now, tap your chest with your fist."
Xia Xiaobing expressed skepticism: "What good could this possibly do?"
"Give it a try, like I did..."
Lu Zhe gripped the steering wheel with his left hand and clenched his right fist, pounding it a few times on his chest.
Xia Xiaobing hesitated for a few seconds, but finally followed his example and did as he said. However, she didn't feel anything special.
Lu Zhe continued, "Put a little more force into it, then open your mouth and make a sound."
Xia Xiaobing: "What was that sound?"
Lu Zhe: "Whatever, you can just shout 'Ahhhhh'. Don't stop shouting, let your fists naturally create a rhythm."
Xia Xiaobing: "It looks really stupid..."
Lu Zhe: "In life, you have to do some stupid things, right? There's no harm in trying, is there?"
Xia Xiaobing did as she was told.
Lu Zhe then reminded him, "Try humming a tune, any tune will do, anything."
So, she hummed a scale from low to high while pounding her chest with her right hand. It hurt a little, but for some reason, she also felt a strange sense of pleasure.
Lu Zhe glanced at her chest, especially the outline that swayed more with each hit, and secretly swallowed.
After a while, Xia Xiaobing felt a little bored, stopped and asked again, "Is that all?"
By this time, the car had already entered the ring expressway. On a weekday day, this section of the road was rather deserted, with only a few cars in front and behind, making it feel quite open to drive on.
As Lu Zhe accelerated, he rolled down the window halfway. The air rushing in at high speed turned into a gale and blew in!
"Hey, what are you doing!" Xia Xiaobing's long hair was blown wildly by the wind. She quickly raised her hand to press down her bangs and also used her hand to shield her eyes from the wind.
Lu Zhe laughed and said, "If you want to relax and vent even more, just shout it out now."
Xia Xiaobing: "Shout...shout what?"
Lu Zhe: "Whatever. When you were smashing things in the office today, what was the first thing you wanted to say? Was it the project we discussed this morning?"
Speaking of that infuriating project, Xia Xiaobing thought of her heartfelt words and finally spoke them out loud:
"They're all idiots."
Lu Zhe laughed loudly: "Not enough, this volume isn't enough! You can't even swear freely?"
Xia Xiaobing took a deep breath and shouted, "They're all idiots! Morons! Morons! Brainless freaks! They don't even know anything but they dare to point fingers! I could beat them even in junior high!"
Lu Zhe gripped the steering wheel with one hand and gave her a thumbs-up with the other: "That's it."
Xia Xiaobing looked at him and let out a long sigh: "I do feel better, and then what?"
Lu Zhe: "And then what?"
Xia Xiaobing: "Do you have any other ways to relieve stress? I mean, the more effective kind."
“Something more effective than a good shouting match…” Lu Zhe pondered, “is a bit difficult. Then I’ll have to resort to my trump card.”
"What special move?"
"This is a trick that I've almost never told anyone else. Especially in the last ten years, you are definitely the first person to hear me talk about this."
