Chapter 710: Chapter 710: The CEO is in a bad mood today Chapter 710: Chapter 710: The CEO is in a bad mood today The 66th floor was shrouded in dark clouds, and nearly everyone could feel the super low pressure that pervaded the air. Besides the low pressure, one could also see the lightning and thunder pressing down on them from above.
At this time, the door to the CEO Office opened, and a dejected man walked out, wiping the incessant sweat from his forehead as he hurriedly descended the stairs.
No sooner had he entered the elevator than the Reception and the Secretary Office erupted in chatter and speculation.
“How many does that make this afternoon?”
“Only the fourth? I thought it was the sixth already.”
“I remember it being the fifth. Three subsidiary managers, two directors.” The receptionist with the attractive eyes glanced at the Secretary Office and lowered her voice, “Plus Secretary Wang, it’s six.”
“Little Li, are you talking about me? There’s no need to be so quiet, I knew you were talking about me just from your expression,” said the called-out Secretary Wang, his face showing utter despair.
As soon as he spoke up, several girls from the Reception gathered around him, eager to gossip about what had just happened, “Secretary Wang, did the CEO really scold you?”
“What actually happened?”
“Didn’t you just bring in a cup of coffee?”
Surrounded by a group of young women, even the experienced Secretary Wang blushed. Faced with so many pairs of eyes filled with curiosity, he was too embarrassed to refuse. Touching his nose awkwardly, he said, “President Li said the coffee was too hot.”
“What? The coffee was too hot? You got a scolding just for that?” The beauty receptionists were clearly incredulous, “Secretary Wang, you couldn’t have made some mistake at work, and are just too embarrassed to say it, right?”
“It really was just because the coffee was too hot.” Secretary Wang was filled with a thousand grievances. He had always brought the coffee at that temperature before, and President Li never complained it was too hot.
This afternoon, for some reason, as soon as he brought it in, he had a premonition of bad luck.
Sure enough, no sooner had the coffee been set down than the CEO took a sip and blew his top—the reason being the coffee was too hot!
Even as he talked about it, he himself felt completely baffled.
“In any case, the CEO’s mood isn’t good today, so everyone better be careful. Don’t make any mistakes, and also…” He paused, his eyes drifting toward the CEO Office, and he made a gesture of mourning, “If anyone is called into the office by the CEO today, just be mentally prepared.”
“It’s really that scary! I get the feeling the CEO’s mood is very bad today! Not just bad, very bad! Look at how Director Liu came out, with sweat pouring down, his shirt soaked through on the back—I can’t imagine how terrible it was. Everyone just pray and hope you don’t catch a bullet. If you’re really sent up there today, nobody can save you.”
The beauty receptionists were dumbfounded, and only after half a moment did they sheepishly ask, “Secretary Wang, do you know why the CEO is in a bad mood?”
“That… I’m not quite sure,” Secretary Wang mused, uncertainly, “All I know is that President Li had a luncheon with Ryan’s representative today, and after he came back at noon, he looked rather displeased. Perhaps… the contract negotiations didn’t go well? Sigh, I don’t know. If I did, I wouldn’t have been berated for a cup of coffee.”
The receptionists wanted to ask more about what happened with Ryan’s luncheon, but Secretary Wang waved them off, interrupting, “Alright, let’s stop discussing the CEO’s business. Knowing that the CEO is in a bad mood today, we just need to behave ourselves.”
Seeing he didn’t want to talk anymore, the receptionists dispersed, each returning to their respective positions.
