Chapter 19: Disturbance
After the weekend, Chengyu continues working earnestly. He had been investigating for a week and roughly understood the relationship between the company"s internal management. But maybe because Yan Mu is now the president of Huading, other people in various departments are very kind to him as he is the president"s a.s.sistant. No one will deliberately make things difficult to him. He knows that most of these people are smart. As long as there are no problems in their work, he will not be able to find anything.
The a.s.sistant president isn"t supposed to supervise all employees in the company. The workplace is not like an elementary school cla.s.s where the students tell the teacher every trivial thing, that"s is the management trainers" job. If a particular person pulled hatred towards themselves, ultimately that person will only be disliked by all and in the end, get fired from his job.
For example, sometimes Chengyu went to other departments and saw some of the employees log in to their Weibo and also chat with each other when they were sleepy. He doesn"t mind about it, as long as these departments do their work well and on time. As for those who violate the rules of the workplace and divulge the company"s information, even if he does not deal with it, department managers will report to their superiors because they fear being implicated with it. Generally, the result of most of these things is dismissal.

After meeting with two clients" manager, Lu Chengyu took a sip of coffee from the table. He picked up the signed contract and stood up to see the little girl at the door looking at himself admiringly. He smiled at her and leave the meeting room. If he remembered correctly, that new girl should be Cao Jingshen"s new a.s.sistant.
That little girl eagerly smiled back at Lu Chengyu. She looked at Lu Chengyu"s back and sighed. Although both of them have the same position, which is an a.s.sistant, the differences are too big. a.s.sistant Lu was able to meet clients and handle the contract. His eloquence"s skill is something really beyond an average person"s ability, simply an example of a male G.o.d that she has in her mind.
Recalling that a.s.sistant Lu was popular as the most handsome boy in ‘Q University"s Gra.s.s HD Photo" post on Weibo before, she took out her cellphone and send a post on Weibo, “Watching the process of the male G.o.d"s elegant and graceful demeanour to solve two difficult clients with few words. Handsome male G.o.d, please accept my knee[1], I demand to be your old powder[2] @ More Than One Year”
[1] When you encounter the Great G.o.d level"s person, you can use ‘accept my knee" to express your respect for the Great G.o.d in a way that gives your knees. Something like below, and it literally mean to gives your knee to the other person:
[2] old powder: someone that blindly follows you regardless of anything.
Leggingss~Short pantss~ no one will buy it becoz they dont have knees anymoree
After posting it, she logs out of her Weibo and continued working. Little did she knew, her post has been forwarded by many netizens. Some people are eager to convey the post while others mock it as deliberately to create hype. Later, in the middle of this debate, Lu Chengyu"s reputation as ‘Top scholar Lu" changed to ‘Male G.o.d Lu".
Lu Chengyu didn"t know that he was getting popular again on Weibo. He gave the signed contract to Cao Jingshen, and he freeloads a box of teleaf in pa.s.sing while strolling in Cao Jingshen"s office before he slowly returning upstairs to his office. Then he received an inside call from the front desk, saying that a gentleman named Mu Qirong wanted to see Yan Mu, and had he already told Yan Mu in advance.
Since his surname is Mu, it should be a relative of his boss" mother. He hesitated for a moment, but he went to the president"s office and knocked on the office"s door, “Boss, a gentleman named Mu Qirong said he wanted to see you.” Chengyu would get Yan Mu"s appointment schedule from Cao Jingshen in advance every day. But there is no Mu Qirong"s name on today"s appointment schedule.
Yan Mu was paying attention to the doc.u.ments. When he heard Lu Chengyu"s reports, he was stunned for a moment before he said, “Let him in.”
“Okay,” Lu Chengyu exited the office. He used the inside phone to call the front desk, asking them to let Mu Qirong go to the president office. After hanging up the phone, Chengyu thinks for a bit and goes to the elevator to wait for Mr Mu.
The relationship between Yan Mu and Mu Qirong is they are cousins. It"s was due to Mu Qirong"s mother distressed that Yan Mu has no parents alive and Yan family doesn"t care about Yan Mu, she asked Mu Qirong to visit Yan Mu and invite him to partic.i.p.ate in Mu family"s c.o.c.ktail party. But he and Yan Mu didn"t grow up together, how much words can he speak? (T/n: they both are not familiar with each other so they neither have common interest nor have any topic to converse.)
As soon as the elevator"s door open, Mu Qirong saw a young man in a dark grey suit waiting outside. Seeing Mu Qirong come out from the elevator, he showed a polite smile on his face.
“h.e.l.lo, Mr Mu. I"m the president"s new a.s.sistant. Please come this way.” Lu Chengyu took a quick look at the steady pace and sharp eyebrows of the man that just came out of the elevator. Most people who like this should be quite eager to be first, and ought to be a decent person. Of course, Lu Chengyu didn"t rule out the possibility of this person could be an animal in clothes[3].
[3] 衣冠禽兽 [yī guān qín shòu]: immoral and despicable person
“Thank you very much.” Mu Qirong thanked Lu Chengyu. Before entering Yan Mu"s office, he nodded to Lu Chengyu before pa.s.sing over him and walk to the front.
“Mr Mu is courteous, please,” Lu Chengyu gently pushed open the presidential office"s door. After asking Mu Qirong to enter, he stepped back and closed the door.
Yan Mu sees Mu Qirong come in, he put down his pen and stood up to greet Mu Qirong and ask him to sit down on the sofa. Both of them are too embarra.s.sed and awkward to speak nonsense. Neither of them is this kind of talker, so when they get together, the surrounding"s temperature gets cold.
“There will be a c.o.c.ktail party at home the day after tomorrow. Both Mom and Grandpa want you to come.” Mu Qirong said with a dry cough, clarifying his purpose to visit Yan Mu. “Are you free the night after tomorrow?”
Yan Mu nodded. “The day after tomorrow is Wednesday.” Then they looked at each other and said nothing. After a while, he heard a knock on the door. Yan Mu looked up and saw Lu Chengyu standing outside with two cups of coffee.
“Come in,” said Yan Mu. Lu Chengyu came in, he bends down and put two cups of steaming coffee on the table. Yan Mu naturally hold the cup and scratch the rim of the cup with his index finger.
“This freshly brewed coffee is quite hot. Please be careful,” said Lu Chengyu after he takes note of Yan Mu"s action just now. With a warm smile, Chengyu said, “Please excuse me.”
After Lu Chengyu left, Mu Qirong looked at the closed office door and he nodded, “You new a.s.sistant is much better than the last one.” The last a.s.sistant that worked with Yan Mu was a.s.signed by the older generation of Yan Family. Although Mu Qirong was not interested in Yan family"s calculation, he has met with the old a.s.sistant several months ago, he knew that Lu Chengyu wasn"t a person to be wary.
“En,” Yan Mu"s expression become slightly softer and he takes a sip of his coffee, “He"s very good.”
Mu Qirong looked at the steaming coffee, with a piece of unmelted ice floating in the middle. He didn"t reach for the cup. “As long as he wasn"t intentionally sent by others. Although he seemed young, he can handle matters steadily.”
“I should have nothing to do on Wednesday night. I"ll be there on time.” Yan Mu put down his coffee cup and wiped his mouth. “He wasn"t sent by anyone.”
Mu Qirong, who had heard his cousin"s willingness to attend the reception, was stunned. Only then did he understand when his cousin said “he”, Yan Mu was referring to his a.s.sistant just now. He looked at Yan Mu"s ease expression and he nodded: “Well, just pay attention like usual.”
The ice in the coffee cup has melted, the temperature of the coffee has gradually dropped, and the office was full of the aroma of coffee.
Lu Chengyu only knew that the Mu family had not sat for long that day and left. Although he didn"t know what the other party was doing, he knew that as an a.s.sistant, there is a boundary of what he can manage and what he can"t manage.
So when Yan Mu left work early on Wednesday afternoon, he didn"t feel surprised. Bosses like Yan Mu, who almost everyday commute to work on time, are already exemplary representatives of the CEO community.
After sorting out some doc.u.ments that need to be handled personally by Yan Mu, Lu Chengyu received a call from Cao Jingshen saying that Yan Lao San had come again with Huangchuan. The front desk didn"t stop them and now they are wreaking havoc at Secretarial Dept.
After listening to Cao Jingshen, Chengyu frowned. Did Yan Lao San already know that Yan Mu is not in the company before, then he decided brings peoples with him? Chengyu loosened the top b.u.t.ton of his shirt. When he arrived at the Secretarial Department, he saw Yan Laosan sitting in the Secretarial Department"s public area with his legs crossed like he owns the place. He saw a broken cup laying on the ground, and four bodyguards with dark gla.s.ses stood on the aisle, looking fierce.
Wearing big sungla.s.ses in office, does Yan Lao San thinks that he is filming a police movie now?
“Isn"t this Mr. Yan San? What brings you here today?” Lu Chengyu took off his suit coat and casually threw it on a desk. He walked to Cao Jingshen and looked at Yan Lao-san with a smile, “Unfortunately, the boss just went to a c.o.c.ktail party, you come here for nothing.”
“It"s you again,” said Yan Lao San when he saw Lu Chengyu. He frowned and looked at the four bodyguards he brought.
He moved his hip and coughed a little. He still acted like an elder uncle, “Could it be Yan Mu doesn"t want to see his third uncle, so he deliberately went off work early?”
“Why does Mr. Yan San think so?” said Lu Chengyu while looking at Yan Lao San with unbelievable expression, “The boss"s parents have pa.s.sed away. You are one of his few elders. How could he don"t want to meet you? If Mr. Yan San told the boss in advance that you would come to Huading, how would the boss go to the c.o.c.ktail party?”
This remark is to state that Yan Mu is a good person, while Yan Lao San, who came to Huading without a prior appointment is to create trouble. Although Chengyu"s word seems polite, the real meaning actually has no trace of politeness, like a slap to the face.
Yan Lao San suddenly blushed with anger. Unfortunately, he can"t refute it, he just murmured, “a.s.sistant Lu"s mouth is still so sharp, I don"t know if anyone has told you that people who talk a lot are often unlucky.”
Lu Chengyu, as if he hadn"t heard the threat in Yan Lao San"s words, took the teacup from the secretary a.s.sistant who was frightened and trembling. He bends down and put his hands in front of Yan Lao San. He laughed and said: Thank you Mr. Yan San for reminding me, but my mouth is stubborn and I can"t control it. You can always forgive me. I will change it slowly in the future.”
Yan Lao San only look at the teacup that Lu Chengyu was holding, he didn"t intend to take the cup, he looks at Lu Chengyu.
Huangchuan saw that things were not right. He squeezed out a smile and took the cup in Lu Chengyu"s hand. Actually, he wanted to touch Chengyu"s hand. Who knows that the other party"s hand seems to have eyes, before he could touch it, Chengyu swiftly moves his hand away.
“If Mr. Yan San has any matter to discuss, you can call the boss directly.” Cao Jingshen stepped out from behind Lu Chengyu and his hidden eyes under the lenses swept over to Huangchuan"s hand, which holds the teacup, “You are his family, what can"t be discussed?”
Yan Lao San glance at both of them. He hit Huangchuan"s hand which still holding the teacup and the teacup smash on the floor. Panting with rage, Yan Lao San left the Secretarial Dept.
Lu Chengyu looked at their backs, he raised his mouth and speak in a mild way, “Mr. Yan San is really a straightforward man.” He kicked the teacup fragments on the ground and looked at Cao Jingshen, “Right?”
Cao Jingshen took off his gla.s.ses and sneered, “He has no idea of death or danger [4].“
[4]不知死活 [bù zhī sǐ huó]: to act recklessly
Yan Lao San seems to have an idea that the boss won"t do anything to him, unexpectedly he did not consider that the boss has evidence on shameful things that he did in the past. Even Yan Lao Er, who is so shrewd, scared to do anything, why does Yan Lao San still doesn"t understand this?
“If he is courting death, others can"t stop him.” Lu Chengyu picked up his suit coat which was still on the table. “It"s time to get off work. I"m going home.”
“Good-bye.” Cao Jingshen put on his gla.s.ses, smiled at Lu Chengyu"s sight of his back. Then he turned around and asked people to clean up the office, but did not notice that his new secretary a.s.sistant secretly took a photo of Lu Chengyu"s back with her mobile phone.
If you can read this,meaning that you have been reading fake chapter all along, wow
Therefore, that evening, after Lu Chengyu came back from jogging and login to his Weibo, he found that his Weibo account, More than one year, which has the prestige as a top scholar before, begin to buzz again.
It seems like he has to urge these young people who scrolling in Weibo to study hard and get to work on time.
What my brain thinks while translating Mu Qirong and Yan Mu" conversation:
Mu Qirong: Are you free the night after tomorrow?
Yan Mu: The day after tomorrow is Wednesday.
Mu Qirong:……………….
Yan Mu:…………….
Mu Qirong:……………….
Yan Mu:………………..
Me: Well, that"s awkward…
