After Lou Xi closed the office door, Qin Mobai’s gentle expression completely disappeared, replaced by a cool and distant look.
He rummaged through a pile of business cards in the drawer and pulled out one. As he picked up a cigarette from the table and put it in his mouth, lighting it with a lighter, he squinted at the numbers on his phone.
Dialed out.
"Hello, who’s this?" The background noise was quite loud.
Qin Mobai’s brows furrowed sharply.
"Qin Mobai." He calmly stated his name.
The person on the other end was taken aback, apparently not expecting the president of Jia Sheng Group to personally call him. Somewhat incredulous, he responded, "Haha, if you’re Qin Mobai, then I’m..."
"Next quarter’s contract, Jia Sheng intends to openly bid. I wonder if President Lin is interested in collaborating with us."
If President Lin could secure Jia Sheng Group’s contract for the next quarter, he wouldn’t have to work for the next few years; the profits alone would keep him counting money until his hands were tired.
"President Qin, this... I..." President Lin quickly found a quiet place, feeling uneasy and excited.
"There’s no such thing as a free lunch. If I give you the contract, do you have anything to offer in return?" Qin Mobai certainly sounded like a businessman.
President Lin paused, tentatively asking, "President Qin... are you looking to..."
"It’s a startup company; I hope President Lin will pay special attention. Jia Sheng has such a big contract, you can handle only so much."
"Alright, whatever President Qin says. So, which company is it..."
"Rong Zhi’s ’High Mountain and Looking Up’."
...
Lou Xi exited the office, her expression unreadable, leaving everyone unsure of what the president’s intentions were.
A group of singles were thinking that if the president didn’t make them work overtime, they could clock out, flirt if they wanted, play games if they wanted, and enjoy life somehow!
But how can you enjoy life in the company?
"Assistant Su, is the company cafeteria still open?" Lou Xi asked Su Lin, blinking her eyes.
Su Lin thought it over. The cafeteria chefs had gone home by now, and hadn’t Mi Beier just brought Qin Mobai plenty of food earlier?
Oh... so the president doesn’t want the food brought by Mi Beier and wants the cafeteria chefs to prepare something?
Lou Xi continued, "Young Master Qin wants egg and tomato noodles, I’ll cook it for him."
As Lou Xi said this, Su Lin felt once again defeated, thinking this was bullying the singles!
If the president wants egg and tomato noodles, even if the kitchen is closed, they’d have to open it in no time!
And then, Lou Xi trotted off to the Jia Sheng Group cafeteria kitchen, determined to make a bowl of egg and tomato noodles for Qin Mobai today!
After Lou Xi left, the male assistants and secretaries at the president’s office exploded.
They seemed to be late to the realization and gathered around Su Lin.
You know, men can have a curious gossip side! Especially when it’s about their boss!
"Assistant Su, is our new assistant romantically involved with the president..." a male assistant asked.
Su Lin smiled mysteriously.
"I used to think the president might be gay, scared me to death," another assistant said.
"Come on, even if the president liked men, he wouldn’t like someone like you."
The group was chattering away, not realizing Qin Mobai had come out.
