Everyone was saying their piece.
They discussed things Chu Ge really didn’t know about.
With a playful arch of his eyebrows, Chu Ge smiled contently, "Are all these things you’re saying true?"
"Of course, it’s true!" One of the pretty girls said, flashing Chu Ge a smile, her curiosity piqued, "Manager Chu, what exactly is your relationship with our President?"
Chu Ge coughed lightly, touched his nose, they say the office is the most gossipy place, and it’s so true.
"It’s the end of the month now, have you all finished your work?" Chu Ge knew Mu Bingtong didn’t like discussing these things at the company, he also didn’t want to openly disclose his relationship with Mu Bingtong as it could cause her a lot of trouble.
As soon as Chu Ge finished speaking, the employees exchanged glances reluctantly and returned to their own places, starting to busily work.
Seeing everyone had dispersed, Chu Ge also turned around and went back to his office.
There were no documents on his desk, just an empty space with only a computer.
Honestly, since he had been in Shanghai for so long, he hadn’t really used a computer.
Out of curiosity, Chu Ge pressed the power button.
The computer was left by the former head of the finance department, and it still had many of his files and saved items.
After the computer booted up, Chu Ge saw the desktop wallpaper was a photo of a woman lying on the beach in a bikini, her pose seductive and her figure blazing hot, very sexy.
The desktop was very clean, aside from some basic icons there wasn’t much else. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, Chu Ge glanced towards the door and said, "Come in."
Then, he saw Mu Bingtong walking in.
Chu Ge smiled, "What brings you here?"
"Today is technically your first official day working in the finance department, I came to see how it is going. Is everything going smoothly?"
Chu Ge shrugged, nonchalantly saying, "Looking at me right now, do I seem like I have any problems?"
While everyone outside was overwhelmingly busy, he sat here as if nothing was amiss. At first, it was fine, but as time passed, he did start to feel a bit guilty.
Chu Ge touched his nose and said, "Maybe you could arrange a suitable position for me?"
Mu Bingtong walked up to his desk, standing with her high heels, dressed in a sleek black suit, exuding a strong allure just by standing there.
Mu Bingtong’s gaze darted to Chu Ge’s computer, and the moment she saw what was on the screen, her cheeks flushed red.
She averted her gaze, coughed awkwardly, "Um... what’s with this computer screen?"
Usually, Chu Ge seemed decent, privately, however... however...
Mu Bingtong’s mind burned at the thought of that wallpaper image, it was too indecent.
Chu Ge glanced at her and then at the computer screen, chuckled and explained, "The computer was left by the former head of finance."
Mu Bingtong nodded, "Oh, you should change that later, it’s not good if employees see this screen."
Chu Ge opened a web page, randomly searched for a wallpaper image, clicked download, and changed the desktop wallpaper.
Mu Bingtong looked at him after he changed the background and faced him, "What did you just say?"
Chu Ge was startled, then remembered the question he had just asked her and laughed, "I was asking if you could arrange a position for me that I could handle?"
Mu Bingtong gave him a look, "Which position do you think you can perform well in?"
Compared to other employees, indeed, he couldn’t compete—others had the necessary qualifications and experience, but what about him? It seemed he had none of that.
Originally, he had joined the company just based on a word from Mu Bingtong.
Mu Bingtong curiously looked at him, asking in puzzlement, "Do you want to work?"
Mu Bingtong really didn’t want to hurt Chu Ge’s pride, but... She let out a small cough to mask her awkwardness, "Currently, only the position of the finance department head is vacant; there are no suitable openings for the rest."
Chu Ge looked at her, speechless, "Do you think I’m suitable for the finance department head?"
Everyone else was busy, and yet he was idly sitting here doing nothing.
For a moment, Mu Bingtong didn’t know what to say as Chu Ge indeed was not suitable for the position of finance department head.
"Actually, the finance department has been running very well without you. The two deputy heads of finance you chose are exceptionally competent; they manage the department tightly and orderly."
Said Mu Bingtong, she felt that Chu Ge, regardless of the position, was very accurate in management and judging people.
Chu Ge understood what Mu Bingtong meant, and as if realizing something, he said to her, "I need to make a trip to Beijing these next couple of days."
Mu Bingtong was taken aback and looked at him in surprise, "You just got back and you’re leaving again?"
Chu Ge nodded, "The trip to Beijing was promised long ago, so I must go."
Recently, Ge Group has emerged, a group that suppresses Jinxiu, largely because of the support from the Nangong Family behind them. He wanted to go to Beijing to see what capabilities this group truly has.
Mu Bingtong wanted to ask Chu Ge what he was doing in Beijing, but then she thought, even if she knew, what could she do about it? Knowing would only add to her worries.
After chatting about some trivial matters, Mu Bingtong left.
When she reached the door, she saw Qin Luoluo walking towards her, carrying a cup of coffee.
Qin Luoluo was naturally timid, and seeing Mu Bingtong, she was startled, causing her to accidentally spill the coffee. The coffee was very hot, and a few drops splashed on the back of her hand, immediately raising blisters.
Qin Luoluo winced in pain, bowing her head, she murmured a greeting, "Hello, President Mu."
Mu Bingtong liked Qin Luoluo quite a bit; this young girl was meticulous in her work and had never made any mistakes. She remembered that during the last financial summary conference, it was Qin Luoluo who presented the report.
Though she seemed cautious in daily interactions, she was like a different person when it came to work.
Mu Bingtong approached with concern, smiling at her, "Are you all right? Did it burn you?"
Qin Luoluo slightly covered the burnt area and shook her head, "No, thank you for your concern, President Mu."
Mu Bingtong didn’t say anything more, only nodded her head and walked away.
After she left, Qin Luoluo finally let out a sigh of relief.
Even though she knew Mu Bingtong was approachable with the employees, her strong presence always made her feel somewhat unapproachable.
