Chapter 142 Milk Tea
Xia Mian had to admit that he had become red-hot again.
But perhaps because he's experienced it several times today, his acceptance threshold has significantly increased, and he can now maintain a natural expression and remain calm in the face of praise or criticism.
And he really wanted to see Kepler's headquarters, to see how it differed from his dad's company.
So he ignored Zhou Pingchuan's hand and got out of the car. Zhou Pingchuan didn't say anything, withdrew his hand, and turned his head to Xia Mian: "Let's go."
Kepler has 45 work areas in the capital. The one they came to is the headquarters building, which was established at the beginning of the nation's founding. It is older than the other work areas, but it is the power center of the entire Kepler.
Where there are many people, there are many troubles and all sorts of ulterior motives, including young men and women who set their sights on senior executives or even the boss. When other chairmen's wives encounter this situation, they will definitely "assert their dominance" when they come to inspect.
Xia Mian, however, stayed about an arm's length away from Zhou Pingchuan, looking more like a college student applying for a job than the chairman's wife.
Before going inside, he even put on a baseball cap and sunglasses, so that unless you knew him very well, you wouldn't recognize him at all.
Zhou Pingchuan found it amusing: "Kepler headquarters has a security system. Employees need to go through a security sandbox to transmit pictures and documents. Your photos won't leak out, so you don't need to hide them."
Xia Mian always looks great without makeup and never needs to cover it up. He shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of the photos being leaked. I'm just doing what I have to do."
If Zhou Pingchuan really is having an affair with a headquarters employee, his sudden visit could scare them. And if they happen to be jealous and get into an argument with him, it would ruin their mood.
"What is it that you should do?" Zhou Pingchuan asked.
Summer Sleep: "Let's become invisible."
He felt he had made himself perfectly clear, but Zhou Pingchuan still seemed not to understand, determined to get to the bottom of it: "Why be invisible?"
"It won't stop you from messing around at the company," Xia Mian thought, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
He also cares about his image.
Zhou Pingchuan: "Are you afraid I have connections at the company?"
aestivation:"......"
Zhou Pingchuan suddenly stopped in his tracks, pulled Xia Mian to his side, lowered his head slightly, and reached out to take off his baseball cap and sunglasses.
His movements weren't exactly gentle; perhaps he'd never served anyone before. When he took off his sunglasses, the temple of the glasses scraped against Xia Mian's nose, leaving a red mark.
"It's been confiscated," Zhou Pingchuan said.
Given Xia Mian's delicate nature, she would make a fuss if Zhou Pingchuan hurt her.
But summer hibernation didn't make a sound.
Even a little bit of... happiness.
"Anyway, it's your purchase, so do as you please."
The two stood in the lobby, chatting and taking off their hats. The security guard and the receptionist exchanged bewildered glances, wondering what the chairman was up to, and could only pretend not to see anything.
Once the two went inside, the receptionist excitedly opened WeChat: 【Oh my god, Rou Rou, guess who's here?】
Rou Rou: [Is it Young Master Cheng?]
Cheng Qi is a regular at Kepler, and because of his good looks, he has become the company's dream lover after Zhou Pingchuan.
Receptionist: [NONONO, summer hibernation has arrived!]
Rou Rou couldn't remember for a moment: "Xia Mian from 'Our Little Days,' right? Our company has a product we want him to endorse?"
At this point, she suddenly realized: "Wait a minute, isn't that our boss's wife?! Our boss brought her?!?"
Receptionist: [Not only did they bring it, but the two were also being all lovey-dovey in the lobby, whispering in each other's ears and taking off their hats and glasses.]
Rou Rou: 【......Damn it!】
Because of its good benefits, Kepler has a very low employee turnover rate. For example, the receptionist and Rou Rou have been with the company for five or six years.
Over the years, they had never seen Zhou Pingchuan bring any male or female companions to the company, and some employees who had feelings for Zhou Pingchuan had their enthusiasm worn away by his day-to-day indifference.
Even before the announcement of their marriage, they all believed that Jay Chou would never get married and would dedicate his life to the company.
Moreover, his personality... is really too clueless about romance and too difficult to approach.
For example, once, a new business associate at the company wanted to pursue Jay Chou, so she deliberately wore a tight-fitting short skirt and black stockings in front of him and pretended to fall.
As a result, Jay Chou didn't even glance at her, and walked right past her, making a phone call to HR Director Lisa as he walked: "Don't hire employees who can't even walk properly. If it happens again, I'll deduct your performance bonus."
After hanging up the phone, Lisa screamed wildly in her office and found a reason to fire the salesperson. From then on, whenever there was a job opening, she would sternly warn the recruiter not to even consider hiring Jay Chou.
Does Jay Chou really think business people can't walk?
He's not stupid; he just despises this kind of behavior and is using it to give the whole company a warning.
From then on, the young men and women who secretly liked Jay Chou but never took any action put their minds to it—a high-paying and stable job was much more important than liking someone.
So when they saw Jay Chou's marriage announcement, and that his partner was a relatively unknown celebrity, they initially thought that Jay Chou had something on her, that he had been set up, or that he was just looking for someone easy to control to have a marriage of convenience.
Only today did they realize that Jay Chou was not a honey trap, nor was there a marriage of convenience; he genuinely chose Xia Mian.
After all, who would bring their partner in a marriage of convenience to the company so openly, and then be all lovey-dovey in the lobby?
Those who like Jay Chou must be heartbroken today.
Rou Rou: [No way, I'm so curious, I have to go find out!]
Rou Rou also works in the assistant director's office, where she is mainly responsible for sending and receiving emails and drafting documents. The quality of external documents often reflects the company's overall competence, making it a very important position. Therefore, although Rou Rou is a bit gossipy, her education, foreign language skills, and meticulousness are consistently among the best in the company.
The receptionist cheered her on, and she ran confidently to the chairman's office with encouragement from her colleagues: "Chairman Zhou, I have a comprehensive business plan here that needs your approval."
Zhou Pingchuan made a "wait a moment" gesture, then looked up and asked Xia Mian on the sofa, "What would you like to drink?"
Summer Sleep: "What do you have?"
Rou Rou cleverly replied, "Coffee, tea, juice, sparkling water, and if you like alcohol, we also have red wine and champagne. Oh, and we also have non-alcoholic champagne."
Summer seemed a little hesitant.
Zhou Pingchuan immediately understood: "He likes to drink milk tea."
Rou Rou: "I also have milk tea powder. I'll go make some now."
Zhou Pingchuan had never drunk milk tea before, but he could guess that the powdered milk tea was different from the freshly made one.
He asked Rou Rou, "Don't you have fresh milk tea?"
Rou Rou looked slightly embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, our company doesn't have that many raw materials."
Please, my boss, what company provides milk tea ingredients to its employees?!
“Oh,” Zhou Pingchuan said, “then let’s go buy it.”
Let's go buy it.
Let's buy it.
Let's do it.
Rou Rou: "...Okay, Mr. Jay Chou, I'll go right now."
Because of some unpleasant experiences, Zhou Pingchuan's daily life at the company was generally taken care of by Heng, and the office of the board assistant did not provide him with a personal assistant.
Once outside, Rou Rou pouted and texted her friends: "Waaaaah, Jay Chou actually asked me to buy bubble tea! I'm a PhD from Columbia University, and he actually asked me to buy bubble tea!!"
The receptionist was bewildered.
Where is the coldness, aloofness, and lack of romance you were promised?
He's actually a doting husband behind the scenes!
Jay Chou, the image of you in my heart has completely collapsed starting today!
