Chapter 44 - Sleeping during Meeting
The next day going out to work, Jiang Qi’s whole body felt uncomfortable . His throat sore, his waist ached and even his a.s.s felt very painful . Most crucial is that his vigor seems to collapse . I should have not succ.u.mbed to the pleasure . Jiang Qi lying on the desk with this thought in mind .
The door was knocked, Jiang Qi quickly sit upright . Li Jing comes in and put a doc.u.ment on Jiang Qi’s table while reminding him: “The meeting will start soon . ”
“I got it . ” Jiang Qi nodded and open his drawer to get a doc.u.ment he had already prepared . Then he walks out the door thinking he has almost forgotten the time .
Li Jing looks at Jiang Qi strangely . Why did Jiang Qi walking posture today is so weird… then he shook his head . He better go and do his work seriously ba .
Li Jing step out from the office, coincidently was seen by Xiao An . Looking at his weird expression, she casually asked: “What happened?”
“What do you mean with what happened?”
“Your face is weird . ”
“Was it so obvious ah…”Li Jing touches his face .
“Ah . ” Xiao An nodded .
“Oh . . . it’s actually nothing . Just that the way Manager Jiang walks, looks a little bit strange . ”
Such a common sentence but to Xiao An, it makes green light shining from her eyes .
Jiang Qi took the elevator up . Once reached the 20th floor, the door of the elevator opened and Jiang Qi’s eyes immediately caught the sight of pale and yellow-colored complexion of Manager Lin . Really scared him to death .
“Manager Lin… are you okay . ”
Lin Zheng Rui walk into the elevator with a gloomy expression answered: “Nothing . . . just a slight diarrhea . Diarrhea attack too fierce . ”
“Did you eat your medicine?”
“Eaten… but useless . ”
Looking at Manager Lin yellow-colored complexion and dispirited voice, in his heart Jiang Qi couldn’t help but to feel that they share the same sentiment . Manager Lin… it has been tough on you oh . To take care more ah .
At the same time the elevator finally arrive at the intended floor . Jiang Qi couldn’t help but yawned . So sleepy . Hopefully later will not accidentally falls asleep .
Everyone arrived at the conference room one after another . There were coffees already set on the table . When Jiang Qi sit down, he took the coffee and sip it little by little hoping to stay awake .
After some time, Ke Yan comes in and the meeting start . At first it was as though Jiang Qi was listening attentively, but after a while his eyelids began to lose the fight and slowly his eyes close and fell asleep .
The first person to find Jiang Qi sleeping was Ke Yan . During meeting unless it was specifically named by Ke Yan, everyone would speak one after another in accordance to their seating . Soon it would come to Jiang Qi"s turn but suddenly Ke Yan speaks out: “Manager Lin . ”
Heard his name being called out, Manager Lin yellowed complexion becomes much worse and everyone in the meeting room could not help but look at him with sympathy .
Manager Lin read the report in his hands with trembling voice . Why does he trembled? Because he knew there were so many loopholes in his plan . On his last word, he looks at Ke Yan but he seems to be looking elsewhere and did not really pay attention to his report . Originally Lin Zheng Rui wants to see where his attention had turned to, but then Ke Yan speaks again: “Hmm . . next person . ”
That"s it? Manager Lin sit on his chair happily and even his face looks a little bit better . No . . . in fact it was better than his previous condition . But Lin Zheng Rui still a bit curious on what Ke Yan was seeing a while back .
Ke Yan was ready to close the meeting after seeing that everyone has taken their turn when w.a.n.g Si Qi suddenly speaks: “ Manager Jiang has not spoken . Aiya… how did Manager Jiang falls asleep during our meeting?”
Ke Yan looks at w.a.n.g Si Qi with disgust .
If w.a.n.g Si Qi knew Ke Yan’s thought, she probably would regret poking on the hornets nest .
In the meantime, Yang Shao Yu thought in his heart that this young man is really domineering . Why do he regards her as fellow men? Because Yang Shao Yu thinks that even as a man he did not dare to say it .
Everyone heard w.a.n.g Si Qi’s words and looked at Jiang Qi in unison . They saw Jiang Qi sleeps very deep with his head leaning on his hands and it seems like he had been asleep for a long time .
Zhou Wei who sit next to Jiang Qi try to wake him up and after a number of shaking Jiang Qi finally awakened . Jiang Qi looked blankly at him before he realized he still in a meeting at the moment . Looks like he has unconsciously fell asleep . Jiang Qi stood up and quickly apologize: “I"m sorry . ”
Ke Yan stood up and picked up doc.u.ments on the table: “Manager Jiang, come to my office after this . ”
Jiang Qi nodded: “Okay . "
Everyone watched as Jiang Qi went out . Some people had pity in their eyes while some took pleasure in other people"s misfortune . There"s also someone who sympathize with Jiang Qi"s fate such as Manager Lin . Manager Lin looked at Jiang Qi"s back and softly whispered: “Jiang laodi ah, you should take care oh . ” His eyes looked at Jiang Qi as though he would be facing death in Ke Yan"s hand .
Walking into Ke Yan"s office, Jiang Qi sat down on the sofa and knocked on his head repeatedly . -- How could he falls asleep? Furthermore he was actually in a middle of a meeting -- Just thinking about his own actions today, Jiang Qi really wants to hit a wall .
When he wanted to knock on his head for the second time, his hand was caught by Ke Yan . Then Ke Yan handed over a cup of honeyed water: “Drink it and sleep for a while . ”
Jiang Qi took a sip and asked: “ You are not going to scold me ba?”
Ke Yan raised his eyebrows: “Why should I scold you . ”
“Because just now I fell asleep during the meeting . ”
“If you fell asleep then just fell asleep, it"s not a big deal . ”
Jiang Qi looked at Ke Yan thoughtfully -- In fact, the feeling of having your boss as your boyfriend is so wonderful .
After drinking the honeyed water, Jiang Qi asked: “Where did you get the honeyed water . "
“I had Xiao Feng to buy it for me before . ”
Xiao Feng is also one of Ke Yan’s secretaries but her duty is to a.s.sist Yang Shao Yu . Xiao Feng’s family is in the countryside and that honey is what her own family produces .
“I didn"t remember that you like to drink honeyed water before . ”
“M-hm . ”
“I like to drink?”
“M-hm . ”
“Ke Yan, you… . ”
“Come on, quickly go to sleep . ”
Right now what Jiang Qi really want to ask: Ke Yan, are you shy?
Jiang Qi was pulled into the lounge by Ke Yan . Then he proceed to take off Jiang Qi"s suit jacket and shirt . Finally he put the pajamas that were originally placed in the lounge on Jiang Qi .
This pajamas was originally own by Ke Yan but he hardly wear them because he rarely sleeps in the office . No matter how late he tried to get home to sleep . So, except for the time he managed his company, the rest of his times were spent at home . But the pajamas was regularly taken to the laundry to wash . Therefore, it is clean for Jiang Qi to wear it today .
After all these years, Jiang Qi’s body is stronger than it used to be but Ke Yan’s clothes worn on his body still looking awkward . The sleeves and the pants are longer but the shoulders are not as loose as it used to be . Now at least the clothes won"t fall off his shoulder like before .
With the clothes already changed, he was covered with a quilt and continue to sleep .
When Jiang Qi woke up, it was already late in the afternoon . Rubbing his eyes he looked at the time and realized he had slept for quite some time . But he really felt comfortable .
Jiang Qi walked out of the lounge after changing back to his clothes and saw Ke Yan sitting at his desk looking over doc.u.ments . He walked to Ke Yan and lean his body against Ke Yan"s back: “ Ke Yan, you should take care of your eyes even if you"re busy . ”
Ke Yan put down the pen in his hand and pulled Jiang Qi over to sit on his lap: “Is it hungry . "
Jiang Qi nodded . Ke Yan picked up the phone and called Yang Shao Yu to come in with lunch .
Yang Shao Yu exhaled loudly before he came into the office . This two people . . . the time now has already approaching dinner but you still order me to give you lunch .
Finished his dinner, Jiang Qi went down the elevator alone . He coincidentally met Manager Lin when he got out from the elevator . When Manager Lin saw Jiang Qi he came over and slapped him on the shoulder: “ Jiang laodi ah, you okay ba . You don"t take President Ke’s reproach about today things into your heart . After all it was wrong for you to sleep in the meeting . ”
TLN: laodi - [familiar form of address to a man somewhat younger than oneself] young man (or fellow); my boy
“It"s nothing . I"m fine…” . Jiang Qi thought that it was good that Ke Yan didn"t scold him just now . If not… just listened to this comforting words, he was sure to cry more .
Manager Lin didn"t realize what Jiang Qi was thinking and continued: "You see me . . . almost every day I was scolded by President Ke . You should never put it in your heart . No one will remember it tomorrow . ”
Listening to Manager Lin"s speech, Jiang Qi still feel deeply touched . In fact, words of this person still good to listen .
After listening to Manager Lin’s comforting speech, Jiang Qi walked away and came across Jiang Lu: “Xiao Lu what happened?”
“Second brother, I heard that you’ve been called to the office by the president when your meeting finished . I also heard that you fell asleep in the conference room?”
Don"t tell me the whole company knew about this matter ba? Jiang Qi 囧囧embarra.s.sedly thought .
TLN: 囧囧 jiǒng - internet slang for awkward; embarra.s.sed; tricky
Done with comforting Jiang Lu, Jiang Qi went back to his office . It"s already late and he had to catch up with his doc.u.ments before he can get off work .
