Chapter 72 He didn't look away again
That evening, Zhang Pengfei wrote 1200 words incredibly fluently, at a breakneck speed.
Unfortunately, Chen Jingyang was having dinner with clients that night and got completely drunk, so he didn't see it.
To make matters worse, the next morning, Lin Zheyan forcibly dragged him out of bed and shoved him into the airport car, leaving him with his phone at the hotel!
When he finally discovered it, Chen Jingyang was so angry he almost jumped off the plane!
Lin Zheyan had a blank expression, completely unable to understand his dramatic state: "Didn't you bring your computer with you? I see you're logged into WeChat. I'll just tell everyone in the group that we'll communicate online for the next couple of days and not call you. It won't interfere with your work."
Is this some kind of work-related disruption?!
Yesterday was his dog's first day at the company! It's one thing that he didn't see him, but now he doesn't even know what he did!
He was logged into WeChat, but it was WeChat for business use; his personal WeChat account had never been logged into on the computer!
Has the hotel arranged for it to be mailed out?
"It's all arranged, don't worry. By the time we get to the hotel, the phone should have arrived too."
Chen Jingyang rolled his eyes at him. If looks could materialize, Lin Zheyan would be riddled with holes by now!
He took a deep breath; there was no other way but to endure it.
They took a flight to City A at around 9 a.m. this morning, landed around 12 p.m., checked into a hotel, met with clients at 3 p.m., had dinner together, and then flew to City S early the next morning.
Although Chen Jingyang didn't bring his phone, everything went smoothly because Lin Zheyan handled all the coordination.
Chen Jingyang didn't dare to drink any more this time. After last night's drinking session, he realized that it seemed that on Zhang Pengfei's birthday night, he went to a bar alone and drank on an empty stomach, which damaged his stomach and intestines. Now, he feels terrible whenever he drinks. Otherwise, with his alcohol tolerance, he wouldn't have vomited so much last night!
The next morning, Chen Jingyang got up early and asked Lin Zheyan on his way to the airport, "Check if it's being delivered."
Lin Zheyan checked his phone and nodded confidently at him: "Don't worry, it's already being delivered. It should be delivered to the hotel reception by the time we land."
Chen Jingyang was preoccupied with his phone. Upon arriving in S City, he went straight to the hotel as soon as the plane landed and said to the waiter, "Hello, I need to pick up a package. The last four digits of the tracking number are 7832."
The waiter frantically searched and said, "I'm sorry, sir, we haven't received the package with the last four digits being 7832."
"Huh?!" Chen Jingyang's eyes widened. "No way! I just saw that it had already been signed for!"
The waiter went back in to look again: "I'm sorry, sir, we really don't have it. Why don't you check with the deliveryman to see if he put it in the wrong place?"
Lin Zheyan opened his phone and contacted the courier, who said unequivocally that it had been left at the front desk!
The waiter didn't believe it, took the phone, and asked the courier when the package was delivered. They could check the security footage and indeed didn't see the package.
The deliveryman said he personally handed it over to an employee named Du Zhiwei. If you don't believe me, go check the security footage!
The waiter frowned: "We don't have an employee named Du Zhiwei here!"
The deliveryman immediately protested: "Are you kidding me? Du Zhiwei has been working at your hotel for seven or eight years. Are you new here?!"
Chen Jingyang suddenly realized something and asked the deliveryman, "Is the hotel in City A?"
The deliveryman almost cursed out of anger: "Of course it's in City A! Where else would I deliver it to?!"
"Lin, Zhe, Yan!" Chen Jingyang really wanted to bite him to death. "You fucking sent my phone to that hotel in City A!"
Chen Jingyang was furious, while Lin Zheyan merely clicked his tongue lightly, his expressionless face showing no remorse: "Sorry, I made a mistake. I'll contact that hotel right now."
"Are you fucking doing this on purpose?!"
Lin Zheyan shook his head seriously: "No."
There's no use getting angry now. They have a tight schedule today. They meet with clients at 2 pm, fly to their next destination, G city, at 7 pm, and then attend a seminar at the hotel at 9 am the next morning. They expect to finish all their activities at 4 pm that day and take a flight back to Beijing at around 8 pm.
Chen Jingyang stomped his foot, turned around and left, too lazy to even check in.
Lin Zheyan had no choice but to check out of the hotel, grabbing a suitcase in each hand and chasing after Chen Jingyang all over the street—he didn't have his phone with him, and if he got lost, it would be all over!
The next day at noon, Chen Jingyang had just finished his speech at a hotel in G City when he asked Lin Zheyan, "Where's my phone? Why hasn't it been delivered yet?"
Lin Zheyan checked his phone and saw that the delivery had been made, but it had been delivered to a hotel in S City!
It's true what they say, the phone was chasing after the plane the whole way!
"Lin Zheyan, you absolutely did this on purpose!"
Lin Zheyan explained expressionlessly, "Sorry, because it's not a frequently used address, I chose the location recommended by the system. I'll contact the hotel right away and have them..."
Chen Jingyang snatched Lin Zheyan's phone and said viciously, "Lin Zheyan, if I ever use the phone you sent me again, I'll eat shit!"
Lin Zheyan frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Isn't the buffet lunch upstairs delicious? Why would anyone eat shit?"
But he only dared to mutter a few words to himself, because after Chen Jingyang threw the phone at him, he said one sentence to him—"Just wait for your performance bonus to be zero this month!"
Lin Zheyan's icy face finally changed color slightly, and after a moment he blurted out: "Your phone is your personal property. This matter has nothing to do with work, so you can't deduct it from my performance evaluation. Even if you have to, you can't deduct the whole amount."
Chen Jingyang: ...
"Get out of here!"
Friday arrived in the blink of an eye. As soon as they arrived at work in the morning, Zhang Pengfei and the other interns were on high alert. Last night, Manager Qin had reminded them that General Manager Chen was holding an important meeting in the top-floor conference room today, so they should all be on their toes!
Zhang Pengfei set out the bottled water, double-checked that the projector was working properly, turned the air conditioner to its lowest setting before leaving, and stood outside the meeting room with Manager Qin and the others to wait for them to come in.
Manager Qin smiled at the interns: "Don't be so nervous. President Chen is a very nice person with a very gentle temperament. When he comes over, just greet him naturally."
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people came toward the conference room. The one in the lead was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. He was strong, tall, and had long arms, a wasp waist, and long legs. Surrounded by others, he stood out like a crane among chickens.
He walked with his head slightly lowered, talking loudly to people. His long eyebrows reached his temples, his eyes were like bright stars, and his whole body shone like the bright moon.
The moment Zhang Pengfei saw that person, he was frozen in place, staring at him blankly.
The person seemed to sense something and looked up.
Their eyes met, and it was as if they were being held together by an invisible iron chain; neither of them looked away.
