Chapter 72 - Pure-hearted man
"General manager, what do you want?" Li Zhuoen knocked on the door and asked Wang Liang.
"Don't you know Manager Su? I'll leave it to you to follow up on our cooperation with their company this time." Wang Liang said succinctly.
"Huh?" Li Zhuoen didn't understand, did he mean to say that she should be in charge of the whole project?
"What, don't think you have that ability?" Wang Liang asked again.
"No no! I'm just curious, why is it given to me?" There were so many people in their company who were more capable than her, so why did luck fall on her this time?
"You are very close to Manager Su, it's easier to deal with." Wang Liang explained. In fact, he really didn't think highly of her, but one of the conditions Su Yucheng agreed to cooperate with was that he wanted Li Zhuoen to be in charge of the project as their company's representative, so he had no choice but to agree to it.
"Actually, I'm not familiar with him." Li Zhuoen was worried that their manager misunderstood that they had a good relationship, and in case she didn't get things done, she wouldn't be able to do it well.
"It's okay, I'll help you watch it out, you just have to do it, only you can do it!" Wang Liang said again.
"Oh, thank you, general manager!" The corner of Li Zhuoen's mouth twitched, she wondered, when did their manager start to think so highly of her?
After walking out of his office, Li Zhuoen walked towards the way back. Why did this general manager suddenly think so highly of her? Could it be that she has finally found an appreciative superior? But no matter what, this is a rare opportunity to perform, she must seize it! Li Zhuoen, go for it!
When she returned to the office, Su Yucheng was already sitting at her workstation waiting for her.
"Why do you keep running here twice a day, don't you have to work?" Seeing that he ran into her here again, Li Zhuoen felt curious.
"I'll be in charge of this project with your company, so naturally I have to run here every day." Su Yucheng gave her his signature smile again.
"Manager Su, your tea!" Mu Xue said in a voice that was so sweet that it could kill people, and walked over in their direction.
Holy shit! This woman dares to flirt openly! Li Zhuoen watched speechlessly as Mu Xue placed the cup of tea on the table in front of Su Yucheng.
"Thank you!" Su Yucheng thanked her.
"You're welcome! You're welcome!" Mu Xue said, still standing there.
"Aren't you going back to your place?" Li Zhuoen felt that it was really humiliating to be friends with her (MX), so she said to her nonchalantly.
"I'm going back to work." Mu Xue finished with a smile, and when she turned to look at Li Zhuoen, she changed into a vicious expression, as if she was still saying, "Little ninny, you wait for me!"
Haha, just wait, she was not afraid! Li Zhuoen thought to herself.
"Your general manager should have told you, to let you be the company's representative for this project." Su Yucheng said again.
"Well, he already told me, but I'm worried that I'm not up to the task." Li Zhuoen frankly told him her worries, after all, she had never been in charge of such a large project before, she had only assisted at best.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Su Yucheng handed her a reassuring look.
Wow, the Su Yucheng who said that was really handsome! She suddenly thought of a scene where two people in love are lying in bed with an incurable disease, and the man is holding her hand tightly and saying to her with deep affection, "Don't worry, I'm here. I will always be with you."
"What are you thinking about?" Su Yucheng interrupted her infinite reverie.
"Ah? I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something." Li Zhuoen apologized to him with embarrassment.
"What are you thinking about, so lost in thought? I've called you several times but you didn't hear me."
"Haha, nothing, it's just something about the ...... project." Li Zhuoen said randomly.
"Don't worry, we'll discuss it in the meeting later." Su Yucheng didn't think that she would be so concerned about the project.
"Haha, okay, then I'm not in a hurry now." Li Zhuoen smiled.
"By the way, this silk scarf of yours is nice today!" Su Yucheng just wanted to say it when he saw her, and only now did he find the time.
"Oh, it's ...... just like that." The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on this.
"Yes Zhuoen, I have never seen you wear this silk scarf before, I just wanted to say it looks good." Mu Xue had a hard time interjecting a comment.
"Haha, I ...... just bought it two days ago when I passed by a roadside stall." Li Zhuoen didn't understand why the topic was suddenly brought up to this silk scarf of hers.
"Wow, this was actually bought at a roadside stall? I thought I bought it at some boutique! Let me see!" Once she heard that it was bought at a roadside stall, Mu Xue became excited and rushed over, making a move to untie her silk scarf.
"What are you doing?" Li Zhuoen reacted a little big back a few steps.
"I do not want your scarf, I just want to look at it! If the quality is okay, I want to buy one too!" The woman said and continued to try to reach over and untie her silk scarf.
You're kidding, if I show it to you, the view beneath it is going to kill me, okay? Li Zhuoen desperately protects the neck: "Nothing, you go there today to pluck it yourself!"
"I just want you to take it off and look at it, why so petty ah?" Mu Xue saw her today some abnormal, so asked. In the past she was also quite generous ah, how today just to look at a silk scarf only, her reaction is so big it?
"I ...... I'm cold, I can't!" Li Zhuoen returned. Anyway, even if it takes her life, she will definitely not take the silk scarf off here!
"This between July and August weather, you're actually cold?" Mu Xue clearly didn't believe what she said.
"I suddenly want to drink a cup of hot water, go to the pantry first!" Li Zhuoen made an excuse and ran out of the office with a whoosh.
"Cut, don't look, just don't look, petty guy!" Mu Xue watched her run away in a huff, skimmed her lips, and went back to her own workstation.
That was close, they almost found out! Li Zhuoen trotted into the pantry, and only after repeatedly seeing that no one was coming after her, did she put her mind down a little bit.
Touching the silk scarf around her neck, she still had palpitations. If she had known that a silk scarf could be dangerous even if it was too beautiful, she should have picked an incredibly ugly one! She began to regret it.
She stayed in the pantry for a while, calming down a bit before walking out.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the people in charge of this project from both companies sat down for a meeting. Li Zhuoen attended for the first time as the project leader, which scared her out of her cold sweat.
But looking at Su Yucheng in front of the projector, she felt like she was admiring a beautiful work of art. It is said that a serious and focused man is the most handsome, and it seems to be true. His voice was very nice, and when he spoke, it was like an announcer was broadcasting, which was a pleasure to listen to.
"The above is the whole content of the report I gave, thank you all!" Su Yucheng finished and then walked down.
The conference room resounded with loud applause.
Ah? It's over? Li Zhuoen heard the applause and then came back to her senses. She looked down at the notebook in front of her, but there was not even a single word written on it! Speechless, is she here to enjoy the handsome man, or to work ah?
Alas, in the past, she never came to this kind of big meeting, now suddenly let her take the role on the big team, she can't adapt to this role for a while.
The meeting is over.
Li Zhuoen picked up the notebook that she hadn't had a chance to do anything yet and prepared to walk out.
"Shall we have lunch together today?" Su Yucheng chased her up.
"Lunch again?" Li Zhuoen said reflexively. Yesterday, because she had lunch with him, that guy Cen Yuhao had done something to her. If he saw her with Su Yucheng again today, he might kill her, right?
"It seems like you're not happy about it." Seeing Li Zhuoen's reaction just now, Su Yucheng guessed.
"Haha, no, I mean, why don't we eat in the staff restaurant downstairs? It still tastes good!" Li Zhuoen thought of a compromise solution. In this way, Cen Yuhao should not find out, and even if he finds out, there is nothing, anyway, they are now in a cooperative relationship, eating a meal together is nothing.
"Sure, just decide." Su Yucheng looked like he was very good at talking.
The two of them went to the staff restaurant together.
This staff restaurant was actually quite good, mainly serving lunch to the staff in this building, because the variety was quite complete, plus the taste was reasonable, so everyone usually preferred to eat here. Li Zhuoen almost half of the time is also settled here, of course, the most attractive point is because the price is fair.
"Feel free to order, I'll pay for this meal! Don't pay the bill sneakily like last time, or I'll be mad with you!" When she walked into the staff restaurant, Li Zhuoen said to Su Yucheng in an extraordinarily bold manner. Well, she admitted that it was actually because it was cheap to eat here, and even if she was burnt out, it would still cost her only two hundred dollars.
"Good." Su Yucheng looked at her exaggerated expression and couldn't help but laugh a little.
After the two sat down, the waiter came over to give them their order and brought them two glasses of ice water by the way.
Li Zhuoen ordered a set meal very lightly.
"I'll have the same as her then." Su Yucheng didn't know what to order, so he chose the same as her.
"Okay." The waiter said, collected the finished plates from the other table, and then went backstage.
Su Yucheng was a little thirsty, so he took a sip from his glass of water.
"Why is it iced?" He asked.
"This restaurant serves ice water in the summer." Li Zhuoen said, also picked up the glass of water in front of her, around this silk scarf is too hot, must lower the fire to ah!
"Let's get you a warm one!" Su Yucheng said, pressed the cup from her hand, and then waved towards the waiter, indicating to bring him a cup of warm water.
Soon, a cup of warm water was brought over to him.
"Here, it's better for you to drink this." Su Yucheng handed the cup of warm water to her.
"Why do you need to drink warm water?" Li Zhuoen was confused, it wasn't cold now, it was hot, right? What she needed most was ice water!
"Aren't you bad at drinking ice water?" Su Yucheng explained.
"Why is it bad?" She sounded puzzled.
"I heard that ...... girls can't drink iced things during those days." Su Yucheng said, his face unnaturally don't look away.
Girls in those days ...... which days ah? Li Zhuoen looked at him in confusion. Uh, did he mean ...... the days when she had her period? Li Zhuoen snapped to attention.
Rarely, at this time Su Yucheng's face showed a little bit of embarrassment, surprisingly ...... there was even a little bit of blush!
