Chapter 5, Unexpected Surprises
Yang Yuxiang paused for a moment and then replied readily: "So you have a day off this morning... Have you parked my car properly? Drive it to the company in the afternoon, and by the way, deliver the goods for the afternoon, and bring back the payment for the second phase."
There is no static electricity. ... This time, Wang Cheng surprisingly did not release static electricity ... . ... Or rather, Wang Cheng did release static electricity, but the other party felt nothing at all
Miss Jiang immediately blushed and was at a loss for words. Wang Cheng quickly interjected: "We need to see the invoice before determining the price, as we are unsure what equipment the gentleman requires."
Ms. Jian is the manager of the business department in the company, so these transactions are ultimately confirmed and accepted by her, and the finance department is instructed to issue the checks. The office recently rented by the foreigner is located directly across from Ms. Jian's company. The newly rented office has its door open, and from the outside, it appears to be small, approximately 200 square meters, which can only accommodate a boss's desk along with a few employee desks. If too much office equipment is added, there may not even be space left for a reception area.
The foreigner shook hands with Wang Cheng and introduced himself, saying: "My name is Thor, which translates to '塔' in Chinese... You can call me Mr. Ta. I need a computer with very fast processing speed, and I also require a large-capacity server for storing company data. Aside from that, I have no special requirements for other equipment"
Wang Cheng quickly bowed and said, "I will provide you with the best configuration... Mr. Ta, I will come to give you a quote first thing tomorrow morning"
After accepting all the work, Miss Jian instructed the finance department to issue a check to Wang Cheng, settling the final payment. As she escorted Wang Cheng out, she politely praised his attentive service. In the corridor, a new foreign tenant casually remarked in English, and Miss Jian immediately became serious, engaging in a brief conversation with the foreigner in English. She then turned to Wang Cheng and said earnestly: "This new tenant has observed your work over the past few days and finds you diligent. He has decided to order a set of office equipment from you, insisting on the highest quality, regardless of the price."
Wang Cheng casually tossed the access card aside and got to work. However, Julie stood in place, glanced at the access card, and ultimately refrained from reaching for it
Juli said with concern, "After you finish, will you return the access card to me?"
Miss Jian felt a bit awkward; she waved at Wang Cheng and quickly retreated to her own company. Tor did not pay much attention, extending his hand to shake Wang Cheng's: "Alright, m.hetushucom.com, I look forward to your service"
Next to this foreigner stood a hotel employee, who was also dressed quite smartly and spoke fluent English, with an accent even more authentic than that of the foreigner—this person was likely the hotel’s business department manager, responsible for the leasing of office spaces. From his presence, it could be inferred that the foreigner had just concluded a rental agreement with the hotel.
Of course, Wang Cheng cannot speak of such matters. He pretended to be unconcerned as he walked into the room, heading towards the pile of equipment on the floor, casually saying: "Alright, alright, perhaps you just made the security personnel anxious, causing them to make mistakes in the rush... This is not a big deal. Just point out the location for the computer installation, and I will set up the machines. Once the network cables are connected, you can power it on for inspection and acceptance... We have a lot of work to do, so let's not worry about these minor issues... This is not a big deal. Just point out the location for the computer installation, and I will set up the machines. Once the network cables are connected, you can power it on for inspection and acceptance... We have a lot of work to do, so let's not worry about these minor issues. Oh, the photocopier and fax machine do not require any concern; just place them properly and connect them to the power supply. Let's finish this quickly so we can go home."
Then I need to reimburse a meal—one of their employees stayed late to accompany me, and I treated for that meal
This is correct
That is good, Yang Yuxiang let out a gentle sigh: "I will reimburse you for the actual expenses, so you won't have to go back and report to Teacher Gong..."
Wang Cheng needed to verify the access card at the card reader after receiving it because he had experienced similar situations many times throughout his life. Due to the excessive static electricity he carried, many IC cards were not always successfully produced on the first attempt. Moreover, IC cards that were repeatedly produced successfully often unknowingly turned into high-privilege cards. The reason, Wang Cheng speculated, was that some charges remained in the IC circuit, causing the originally limited permissions on the card to become ineffective.
This foreigner runs a small company, and since there is no sign at the entrance, it is unclear what type of company it is. Wang Cheng is contemplating what price to quote when the middle-aged foreigner extends his hand and, in fluent Chinese, counters Miss Jian by saying: "A translation fee of ten percent is too high; I suggest giving you three percent as per the usual practice"
A beautiful woman accompanies me for dinner, what a treat... Alright, alright... Sigh, I say, you wouldn't have ordered abalone and sea cucumber just to show off, would you
This is a low-level temporary access card, which only signifies your right to enter and exit this building. I asked you to swipe the card first to indicate that I am entering behind you, which indeed pertains to working overtime. However, how could you unlock our company's main entrance? This is not right
Wang Cheng still had not opened his eyes and was mumbling, "The photocopier is very heavy, it takes one person to move it..."
The next day, whether it was early morning or late morning, the phone call from Boss Yang Yuxiang woke Wang Cheng. Without even opening his eyes, Wang Cheng fumbled for the phone by his pillow and sleepily said, "I worked until 2 AM last night and got home very late."
Subsequently, Wang Cheng was busy at the Xinlong Building for several days. Of course, the rewards from such hard work delighted Wang Cheng beyond his expectations—when it came time for settlement, a big windfall fell from the sky, nearly overwhelming him with happiness.
This is an ordinary day in the life of a poor and struggling individual named Wang Cheng—from dawn until the next day's dawn
After leaving the restaurant, the two walked back to the building. At this time, most of the offices in the building had already closed, and the hallway was empty. Julie first signaled Wang Cheng to swipe his temporary access card, and then she went to swipe her work card to record her overtime. They chatted casually, and after Wang Cheng finished swiping his access card, he casually pushed the door. At that moment, their conversation was still focused on snacks. It was only after Julie entered the office that she suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Wait, how can your access card open the door to our company?" After Wang Cheng finished swiping his access card, he casually pushed the door. At that moment, their conversation was still focused on snacks. It was only after Julie entered the office that she suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Wait, how can your access card open the door to our company?"
I am not that shameless—just a roadside stall where I ordered a large dish
After finishing all the work, it was already 2:30 at night. Wang Cheng originally intended to courteously escort Julie home, but unexpectedly, she already had a boyfriend waiting for her in a car at the hotel entrance. Thus, Julie bid farewell to Wang Cheng in front of the hotel. Wang Cheng, feeling dejected, started his small van, turned up the music loudly, and swayed his way home.
When the two shook hands, Wang Cheng realized that he had not brought his gloves. This was just a moment ago, when he had taken off his gloves to receive Miss Jian's check. Thinking that Thor might be shocked by his static electricity, he retracted his hand, but unexpectedly, Thor was too quick; in the blink of an eye, their hands had already clasped.
There is an elevator for going up and down, so what is there to be afraid of? Hmm... I will give you a bonus—double overtime pay as a bonus
Wang Cheng scratched his head and replied with a silly smile, "Shouldn't it be like this?"
After a brief pause, Miss Jian continued with a serious expression: "I want a 10% translation service fee. You can quote him, but increase the price a bit to include my 10% in it"
Standing opposite Wang Cheng is a white man in his forties, with neatly combed light brown hair. He is wearing a suit of an unknown brand, but from the craftsmanship alone, it is evident that it is of exceptional quality. His tie is meticulously knotted, and he is wearing a pair of soft-soled sheepskin shoes that are equally well-crafted.
