Lin Weiwei’s words almost choked Lin Beichen to death.
She likes to be just an assistant, therefore, she wouldn’t take the position of deputy director! The assistant position that Bai Xiaosheng offered you is golden!
Lin Beichen couldn’t help but wanted to ask the question.
This Lin Weiwei is just too ungrateful!
Facing Lin Weiwei’s refusal, Chen Changqing was also stunned, a trace of surprise flashing across his eyes.
However, he quickly regained his composure, his face still wearing a gentle smile.
"Don’t be in a hurry to refuse, my invitation always stands!" Chen Changqing said to Lin Weiwei earnestly.
"You have your persistence, and I have my choices!" Lin Weiwei, always known for her etiquette, rejected the offer for the first time with a hint of firmness.
This time, not only did Lin Beichen’s face look somewhat ugly, but Chen Changqing’s smile also sank a bit.
What kind of magic soup did Bai Xiaosheng use to make such a beautiful and capable woman so devoted here?
Chen Changqing suddenly felt envious.
In his opinion, everything he had was much better than Bai Xiaosheng’s, even the position he offered was superior; why was he being rejected?
Chen Changqing, who was rarely refused in his life, suddenly felt quite irked.
Of course, all this irritation was provoked by Bai Xiaosheng, and it would all eventually be blamed on Bai Xiaosheng.
For an outstanding woman like Lin Weiwei, Chen Changqing would not get angry.
On the contrary, his enthusiasm for Lin Weiwei only grew stronger.
For men, the more unattainable a woman is, the more it piques their interest.
For Lin Weiwei, it was the same.
"I insist on my invitation," Chen Changqing smiled again.
This time, Lin Weiwei didn’t say anything, but smiled and made a welcoming gesture, "Mr. Chen, please come to our New Media Internet Department, Mr. Bai will certainly welcome you. Please sit in Mr. Bai’s office."
Lin Weiwei shifted the topic.
"That sounds good!" Chen Changqing pondered for a moment and nodded.
Originally, he just wanted to come here for a visit, to see the situation on this side, and if there was a chance to scoff at Bai Xiaosheng, he would be very happy.
However, after arriving, he unexpectedly discovered an excellent woman like Lin Weiwei.
At this moment, Chen Changqing suddenly took an interest in having a chat with Bai Xiaosheng.
Lin Weiwei led the way.
The three of them headed for Bai Xiaosheng’s office.
Seeing the familiar place which no longer belonged to him, Lin Beichen felt a bit bitter, and his resentment towards Bai Xiaosheng deepened.
If it weren’t for Bai Xiaosheng, he would still be a good supervisor, but now he’s like a stray dog!
When they arrived at the director’s office, Lin Weiwei knocked gently twice and then pushed the door open.
Chen Changqing was puzzled.
Lin Weiwei had always been impeccable in terms of etiquette, so why did she become so "undisciplined" now?
Could you open the door to a deputy director’s office without waiting for a response?
In Chen Changqing’s view, this was almost inconceivable; had it been him, he would have been furious.
Seeing his expression, Lin Weiwei explained with a smile, "Our Mr. Bai is such a person, it’s the rule that as long as you knock, you can come in, there’s no need to wait for a response."
Chen Changqing nodded slightly, but inwardly, he was somewhat contemptuous.
Only those from small companies who don’t understand the rules wouldn’t care about these formalities. Bai Xiaosheng is a living example of this.
Moreover, Chen Changqing had heard that Song Changkong also came from a small company background; it’s understandable then, the two have similar habits.
When Chen Changqing walked in, he was shocked to find Bai Xiaosheng lying on the desk.
Seemingly... sleeping?
What kind of leader is this!
Chen Changqing’s eyes held a hint of disdain.
"Our Mr. Bai has been too tired lately," Lin Weiwei said softly.
Then she went over and called Bai Xiaosheng to wake up, her voice gentle and her actions patient, like a maid reluctant to wake her master, yet having to do so.
Chen Changqing watched with envy and resentment, and his view of Bai Xiaosheng grew even more unfavorable.
Lin Beichen couldn’t help swallowing as he thought to himself that once he regained his official position, he must find a female assistant, one who was beautiful and gentle, like Lin Weiwei.
As for Lin Weiwei, he didn’t entertain any notions about her.
Not to mention Bai Xiaosheng, even Chen Changqing had taken a liking to her; harboring thoughts about her would be tantamount to seeking death.
Bai Xiaosheng yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and upon seeing it was Lin Weiwei, he offered an apologetic smile.
Last night, he had studied the proposal again and even took the opportunity to analyze the European market.
After all, Ron, that deadbeat, had gone back and hadn’t sent any news—no idea what the situation was.
Bai Xiaosheng, concerned about Luo Pangzi and worried that issues with Kaisen could affect Zhongjing Media’s original plans and collaboration, had consequently studied that market once again.
This exhaustion, coupled with some idle time at the company, inevitably led him to doze off for a while.
Lin Weiwei offered a considerate smile and whispered to Bai Xiaosheng, "Mr. Bai, Mr. Chen and the others have arrived."
Only then did Bai Xiaosheng notice that Chen Changqing and Lin Beichen had already arrived in his office and were watching him.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled and stood up, "Mr. Chen is here, welcome, welcome."
"Mr. Bai works hard overseeing so many tasks!" Chen Changqing smiled faintly.
"Come, come, take a seat!" Bai Xiaosheng gestured Chen Changqing to the sofa area.
Lin Beichen followed carefully behind.
With Bai Xiaosheng around, his own presence seemed insufficient.
Lin Weiwei swiftly handled the hospitality, bringing everyone tea before excusing herself. With Lin Beichen there, she too felt somewhat restless and found an excuse to leave.
Now, only Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Changqing were left in the office.
The two men chatted casually with smiles on their faces about indifferent matters as if they were friends catching up on old times.
They talked for about the time it took to finish half a cup of tea.
Then, Chen Changqing changed the subject, bringing up Lin Weiwei.
He and Bai Xiaosheng had no prior acquaintance, their casual conversation was done, naturally, it was time to discuss "official business", the reason he wanted to visit.
"Mr. Bai, I, well, would like to transfer someone from your side. I quite admire this person and hope Mr. Bai could do me the courtesy," said Chen Changqing.
In his view, since they were at the same level, and since it was the first time he had asked, Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t refuse him this favor.
"Oh?" Bai Xiaosheng looked curious.
"Lin Weiwei, I think she is quite exceptional, and I plan to transfer her over to be a deputy director," Chen Changqing said.
He wasn’t afraid of Bai Xiaosheng misunderstanding; Chen Changqing never explained his actions.
"Weiwei, to become a deputy director?" Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback.
Yet seeing the other implications in Chen Changqing’s smiling manner, Bai Xiaosheng understood; probably this suave vice president had ulterior motives beyond the official offer.
"Not good," Bai Xiaosheng rejected flatly, his face expressionless.
"There’s nothing wrong with that. If the leader arranges it, the employee should comply. I think, she wouldn’t object either," Chen Changqing spoke with a bit of dominance.
A pure straight man, and one accustomed to being overbearing.
"If Mr. Bai agrees, even if the New Media Internet Department loses, I personally would sponsor you one million!"
Unable to hold back, Chen Changqing offered a condition.
At first, Bai Xiaosheng wanted to preserve some face, but as soon as Chen Changqing mentioned money, Bai Xiaosheng’s expression darkened.
"Mr. Chen, you’ve said your piece and had your tea, if there’s nothing else, please leave!"
Bai Xiaosheng issued a clear order to leave, the last threads of any good impression of Chen Changqing vanishing completely.
This charming and seemingly upright man disgusted him.
"Mr. Bai, you’re not agreeing?" Chen Changqing’s voice turned cold.
Before coming to Zhongjing Media, no one had dared to refuse him due to his family background—not just some vice president. If he revealed his background, even Song Changkong would have to give him some space.
Gazing seriously at Chen Changqing, Bai Xiaosheng slowly addressed the oddly handsome man, "In my place, people are mine. Keep your thoughts off my people!"
"Take your time leaving, I won’t see you out!" Bai Xiaosheng pointed towards the door.
His voice was ice cold.
