Three minutes after Su Ji and Pei Huai’s call, her account in the game showed that she had gone offline and left the team automatically.
Henry stayed alone in the team room, waiting like a rock.
Because he was afraid that Sonorous Rose would think that he hadn’t waited for her when she came online, Henry didn’t dare to leave the game interface at all. He stared at it so hard that tears almost flowed out.
The doc.u.ments, contracts, and summons from his father popped up in the middle of the interface.
He ignored all of them.
He was bored, but when he thought about how CEO Pei was also waiting for him downstairs, his mood instantly improved.
He could at least sit in the office and wait with the air-conditioner on, but CEO Pei could only wait in the hall. It was cold outside today, and the hall was often open because of the people coming and going, so the temperature was very low.
Moreover, he knew that the lounge was full this morning, so they could only stay in the lobby.
Just like that, five minutes pa.s.sed…
Ten minutes pa.s.sed..
Fifteen minutes later…Henry was shaking his legs and could not sit still anymore.
After thinking about it, he called an a.s.sistant over and asked him to look at his phone. When Sonorous Rose came online, he had to tell him immediately.
As he spoke, he even pulled out the chair opposite the CEO’s chair for his a.s.sistant to sit on.
He patted his a.s.sistant’s shoulder carelessly and warned him, “if you miss Miss Rose coming online…”
“No, no! I’ll definitely inform you as soon as possible!” The a.s.sistant sat down obediently and picked up the phone.
Henry nodded in satisfaction, but after thinking about it, he added, “if Miss Rose chats with me when she’s online, you’re not allowed to reply on my behalf, and you’re not allowed to look at it either.”
The a.s.sistant nodded.
Henry opened the door and went out. He lit a cigarette and took a puff.
He took a deep breath and exhaled with a look of enjoyment.
If one wanted to be a king, one had to pay a price that ordinary people could not.
The a.s.sistant happened to pa.s.s by and was stopped by Henry who blew out a smoke ring.
The a.s.sistant took a deep breath and coughed a few times. Then, he looked at his mischievous CEO. “CEO, are you done?”
“It hasn’t started yet. What’s the hurry?” Henry moved the cigarette from his mouth to his fingertips, his expression somewhat sarcastic. “How’s Pei? Still waiting?”
“Yes,” the special a.s.sistant replied.
Henry laughed.
He always heard people from Continent O talk about Pei Huai.
When everyone mentioned him, they would either praise him endlessly or feel a lingering fear as if they had PTSD. Henry had long wanted to meet him, but now that he had met him…he was just okay.
In any case, as long as he did not relent this time, the cooperation would have to be suspended, and Pei Huai would have to stay in Continent O.
Henry raised his shining wrist.w.a.tch to check the time. “Let them wait.”
Then, he glanced at the special a.s.sistant. “Come with me to the meeting room first.”
“Yes,” the special a.s.sistant replied.
The special a.s.sistant thought about the situation. Even if his CEO agreed to meet him now, CEO Pei had not finished his call yet. Therefore, it was fine to wait a little longer, so he obediently agreed.
Henry stayed in the meeting room for twenty minutes. On the other end, his office door opened. The a.s.sistant held his phone and jogged all the way. When he found out that his boss was in the meeting room, he knocked on the door a few times symbolically and pushed the door open directly. He was given a strange look by the executives and was misunderstood as being unruly. He did not have time to explain and stopped in front of his CEO, panting. “Miss Rose…”
Henry took the phone and saw Miss Rose’s profile picture reappear in the group.
Finally!
“Boss, the advertising proposal just now…” The a.s.sistant had just found the doc.u.ments that the CEO needed, but when he looked up, the seat where the CEO had sat was already empty.
[ Sonorous Rose: “I’m sorry, the call took a while.” ] [ King and the Knight: “No, no, it’s not even an hour. It’s not that long.” ] [ Sonorous Rose: “Then shall we start now?” ]
Henry rubbed his hands excitedly and then returned an okay gesture.
In the next half an hour, Henry finally understood what it felt like to have a big shot protecting him!
Five rounds in a row, and all of them were completed within ten minutes!
It didn’t matter if he used an Archer, Mage, or Support. After Sonorous Rose brought his finances up, he could even turn into a violent piranha when he used Zhuang Zhou!
There was once when he thought that Ayleen was a Mage because he was not familiar with the character, but he chose the archer again. He was scolded by his teammates for being an idiot, so Sonorous Rose sent two domineering messages.
Silence.
[ Sonorous Rose: “Just wait until we win it.” ]
Then, the opponent experienced the fear of being dominated by a double shooter!
Half an hour later, Henry had completely become a fan of Ms. Rose.
He also addressed Sonorous Rose as “boss”!
[ King and Knight: “Boss, where are the rest of our team? Why aren’t they playing with us?” ]
Su Ji rubbed her wrist unhurriedly.
[ Sonorous Rose: “They are busy.” ]
Henry expressed that he understood. As hard-working office workers, they were definitely busy!
Su Ji played for half an hour. In the VIP lounge, Pei Huai saw that she was playing a game for half an hour.
[ Pei Huai: “Did you have fun?” ]
Su Ji received a message from her fiancé, so she replied.
[ “Not bad, I got a little disciple ]
Henry was still not satisfied. The feeling of standing on the shoulders of giants was too good!
If he didn’t have other arrangements today, he could have been wandering in the ocean with his boss, but…
As the CEO, he couldn’t be too lazy.
He reluctantly said goodbye to his boss, put away his phone, and called the a.s.sistant over.
“Is CEO Pei still here?” Henry asked.
The special a.s.sistant said, “yes, boss.”
Henry retracted his long legs and stood up. “Bring me there.”
The a.s.sistant’s hands were pressed against the seams of his pants. “Yes!” The CEO’s exclusive elevator went down smoothly.
Henry leaned against the elevator fence, closed his eyes, and stood casually.
He was still reminiscing about the exciting game that had just taken place in the past half an hour.
When the elevator stopped, the a.s.sistant reminded him, “we’re here.” Henry opened his eyes and walked out.
However, when he stepped out of the elevator, he was stunned for a moment. He turned around and looked at the floor displayed on the elevator’s LCD screen. [ “Level 3” ]
Henry: ?
He was taking the CEO’s exclusive elevator. No one else could use it except him, so there was no possibility that anyone else could press the b.u.t.ton to get to the floor.
Henry raised his eyebrows in confusion. “Aren’t we going to the lobby on the first floor? You had one job.. ‘
“Boss, I didn’t press the wrong b.u.t.ton…” The a.s.sistant explained weakly, “CEO Pei and the rest have been waiting for you in the VIP lounge on the third floor…
