Chapter 5

Forget it, let Chen Shan not be too attached, what should be let go, let go. How many years can one live in life

Alright

I just saw the newcomer in the restroom

Buying a pair of shoes is not a big deal, Xiaoling also has a pair of Gucci shoes, besides, how could a rich second generation come to work here

Xu Yanshi wishes to express that it would be preferable not to be so startled and jumpy

At this moment, this little ancestor is rummaging through his office, not knowing what he is looking for. He is weighing how to phrase "coffee or tea?" in a way that does not sound too servile.

Alright, then let's arrange it in a cool and aloof manner

I had someone investigate, and there is no improper relationship between the two. Xu Yan was recruited by Chen Shan from Wade during the campus recruitment. It is said that the boy was about to sign a contract with Wade at that time, but was snatched away by Chen Shan at the last moment

Furthermore, Old Liang is not interested in this

I will first have the aloof person help me familiarize myself with the company environment

You have changed, dog.

I rely on!

But her thoughts had already flown away, as a figure gracefully passed by several people at the long conference table. Xiang Yuan lowered her head, hearing the creaking sound of chairs being moved, while the warm air from the air conditioner flowed into her collar, the thin fabric scratching her skin, inexplicably stirring up her feelings of restlessness. In the mobile game, she could no longer find similar images.

Liyang City, at 4 PM, everyone is to return to the company on time

Xu Yanshi was too lazy to pay him any more attention, scoffing as she turned her head away: "Idiot"

Li Yongbiao felt that this young girl had a strong presence. When she spoke, there was a hint of someone else's shadow in her demeanor. However, upon reflection, he thought it was impossible. He had heard that the boss's granddaughter was quite a mischievous character, so how could she possibly be here? He had only met the old man once and had no idea what the granddaughter's name was.

She patiently sat in her chair playing a casual game, appearing completely at ease. Everyone around her was not particularly warm, yet they were curious. The boys mostly glanced at her, confirming she was a beauty, and then returned to their discussion about the game. The girls, on the other hand, exchanged glances back and forth at her several times and even formed a small group to chat.

Moreover, he clearly remembers that the old gentleman's real name is Situ Mingtian

Xiang Yuan did not look up, still engrossed in playing the matching game with her head down

After speaking, Lai Fei stared wide-eyed as he stood up from the sofa, performing a split that landed perfectly on the ground, a textbook example of a full split

Someone approached the door with long strides, and a very indifferent "I have arrived" startled Xiang Yuan, who was sitting in the air conditioning draft.

Li Yongbiao, feeling impatient, said: "Then don't write it, just write something aloof."

Li Yongbiao was taken aback, "The personnel files are all at the headquarters, what do you need his files for? Yan Shi is different from you; he has studied this profession. Researching him is of no use; in the entire technical department, he has the final say, and there are many things that the minister does not understand."

Zhang Jun: "Boss, should we treat Lao Liang and the others to a meal next time? After all, they have helped us so much this time."

The more you call me an idiot, the more it shows that you are nervous. Do you remember when was the last time you called me an idiot? It was when you went for the Wade interview. When I found out that you were the only undergraduate who received an interview opportunity with Wade, I excitedly ran to the library to cheer you on, and you called me an idiot. Later, you told me that you were actually very nervous at that time and didn't know what to say, which is why the words 'idiot' slipped out.

Forget it, it's not a big deal, no need to write it. I know Gao Leng. " Xiang Yuan put down her phone and glanced at Xu Yan as she spoke.

Without even taking a breath, the aloof and cold individual finished speaking, finally pushing up their glasses with their middle finger, looking at him with a proud and self-satisfied expression: "Am I not right, Edogawa Takane?"

Therefore, at that time, in front of several directors, a wager was made, and the old man was extremely reluctant. However, on the one hand, he felt that this was a good opportunity to train the child. Xiang Yuan had been overly protected by them since childhood, and if he could take this opportunity to temper the child's sharpness...

Yang Yuan slowly inserted the baseball bat back, casually patted his hands, and smiled: "They just need to obey Xu Yanshi. By the way, there's something I would like to ask for your help with. May I take a look at Xu Yanshi's file?"

The result was suddenly struck hard on the forehead by a high-precision board that flew in, leaving the aloof individual in a state of exasperation, ready to explode with anger

After speaking, she became aloof and petrified, staring blankly at the tall and graceful figure as he strode out, casually adjusting his clothes.

She put down her phone, leaned back, and smiled like a little fox: "What’s wrong? Are you afraid I’ll bully the aloof one? Xu Yanshi, do I hold a grudge against you in your eyes? After all, I was your brother's ex-girlfriend; is it really necessary to be so confrontational?"

Xu Yanshi leaned loosely against the chair, casting an impatient sideways glance at him, with an expression that clearly conveyed "Are you done talking or not, just leave"

I also think so

To be honest, the content on the resume is unfamiliar to Yuan. Aside from a vague memory of the Wade Cup knowledge competition, everything else seems to be a jumble. Seizing the opportunity when no one was paying attention, she slipped into the restroom to call the old man. The call was answered by the old man's secretary, Lai Feibai, a thirty-year-old man who is even more talkative than the old man himself. The voice on the other end of the line did not seem surprised by the call: "What’s up, Xiaoyuanyuan?"

Xiaoling: "Come, @Master of Bag Authentication, is that Chanel behind her real?"

Lai Feibai shrugged his shoulders

Xu Yanshi was not very interested, put on her glasses, and said a brief "oh" as if words were precious.

Li Yongbiao tapped the table again and said, "Alright, enough chatting. Time's up, let's start the meeting. Make a note of those who are absent, and we will deduct their performance for this month."

Li Yongbiao came to his senses, shook off those unrealistic thoughts, glanced at his watch, and hurriedly took the documents to be the first to leave: "It's about time, let me take you downstairs to greet your new colleagues"

Xu Yanshi, what do you think

Thus, before the official start of the meeting, Gao Leng emerged from the restroom and happened to encounter Xiang Yuan, who had also just exited the restroom. Out of respect for the beauty, he merely paused his gaze politely for a moment

Certainly

In fact, the aloof individual did not see the specific resume; the matter of the newcomer was also a colleague from the HR department who shared a segment of work experience and awards in the group. Therefore, he was completely unaware that this so-called newcomer was the woman he had seen a few days ago, who seemed to have a somewhat "ambiguous" relationship with the boss.

Old Master, you are delicate and soft, enduring through the ages

Li Yongbiao slapped the table and said, "What are you all arguing about? Let me finish speaking." He pointed at Xu Yan and continued, "You in the technical department, you will lead one group, and Xiang Yuan will lead the second group. By the way, assign a few people over, or if anyone is willing to join the second group, please raise your hand."

Lai Feibai coldly said: "Is there anything else, Miss? I am truly very busy on my end"

Hmm. You haven't left yet

Isn't this clearly bullying someone who is aloof and lacks support

The gazes of the two individuals occasionally meet amidst the noisy discussions, yet they both tacitly avert their eyes without making a sound

"Alright, I'll ask Chen Shan. Let's play baseball together when we have time, General Li," Xiang Yuan said with a smile. "Shouldn't they be back by now?"

Where are the shoes? I am not mistaken, they are Jimmy Choo?

Lai Fei is quite innocent: "Miss, this resume was pieced together by me after searching through all the certificates at home. The old man said it must be authentic and not fabricated. After going through it repeatedly, it seems your life experience has been stuck in childhood. After growing up, apart from playing games, there is a blank space in your life."

While a group of people were chatting around the conference table, he would occasionally interject a few words. When a girl spoke to him, he would lower his head and smile lightly, his smile revealing sharp, delicate corners and perfectly white teeth, reminiscent of his clear appearance in high school. However, he seemed to be a bit more easygoing than he was back in high school

How do you know it's not? I can't believe it, you still say you don't have a crush on her. The moment I saw your expression that night, I knew for sure that you definitely have a crush on her

Xu Yanshi had not left either, leaning lazily against the back of the chair with his arms crossed and legs spread out. In front of him lay a notebook, cleaner than his face, with not a single word written on it. It seemed that he had never taken notes.

You clearly said that I am most charming when I am playing games

Li Yongbiao waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright."

Xu Yanshi stood up, picked up her coat, and gave a push to the aloof forehead, reminding him: "Did you block her from seeing those posts on Moments? If not, don't go to the meeting; there's no guarantee you will come out alive"

Xiang Yuan was offered the position of the head of the technical department. However, at that time, she was unaware that Xu Yan was the head. When the old man finally reported it to Chen Shan, she directly rejected it—saying that while a manager could be replaced, a team leader could not. Xiang Yuan was somewhat curious at the time, as Chen Shan was notoriously arrogant and proud of her talents; it made her wonder what kind of person could earn such regard from her. In the end, the old man came up with a compromise: to divide into two teams with two team leaders, which Chen Shan reluctantly agreed to.

The aloof one finally found an opportunity to tease him, casting a meaningful glance his way: "You know quite a lot, even her brother is familiar to you"

He turned around and saw Xiang Yuan picking up the baseball bat that he had inserted into the vase at the door

Meanwhile, Xu Yan engaged in casual conversation with Zhang Jun beside her, her voice varying in tone, sometimes low and sometimes light, carrying a hint of teasing, effortlessly crossing the half-meter space of the room, traversing the numerous mountains and seas between them, and lightly drifting into her ears, "It's resolved, Old Liang found someone to get the board, waiting for the manufacturer to redo it."

Xu Yanshi casually glanced and said: "No."

You don't have to be so sour; the talent has just arrived. What if she turns out to be an easy-going girl?

Lai Feibai slightly bowed and said: "Yes, ask me about my resume"

He appeared lost in thought, and with a confused expression, waved his hand in front of his eyes: "Mr. Li?"

This is her brother

Lai Feibai smiled and said, "Yes, is there any problem?"

In fact, it was not as cold on the bus that night as Xu Yan had thought

A sudden flash of inspiration

Are you going to be alone?

The presidents of other companies have Hermes, LV, and custom-made Italian leather shoes. Our Old Li has Seven Wolves, Playboy, and custom-made Yierkang shoes. There is no doubt that he is a low-quality president, but fortunately, I have heard that many presidents have already started to discard their leather shoes. Thankfully, our Old Li has not, so he is stable

"What is the problem?" she said, hands on her hips, "Did grandpa ask you to mess with me? How can I start my job with a resume like this? Will anyone take me seriously?"

... ...

Xiang Yuan went back to check his phone

Turning his head, he saw Xu Yan waking up, his coat having been pulled off and thrown onto the table along with his glasses. He was nestled in the chair, rubbing his nose bridge to regain his senses, "Pick it up."

It is futile to say more; Yuan, with great dignity, took the lead in cutting off the conversation.

The item is indeed genuine, but I am unsure if it is a replica; I do not have much knowledge about shoes

It turns out to be a woman

What she did not expect was

Li Yongbiao tapped the table and pointed his chin at the boy sitting in the corner wearing black-framed glasses: "Zhang Jun, where are Xu Yanshi and Gao Leng? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Let me introduce to everyone, Xiang Yuan, who has been sent down from headquarters and is our new team leader in the technical department

The crowd was in an uproar

Returning to the technical department, Xu Yan was still draped in a black coat, slumped loosely in her office chair, asleep. Seeing this, Gao Leng muttered, "I don't know where all this sleep is coming from. Have you been spending your nights indulging in self-pleasure? You single dog"

Turning around in the garden, she locked the bathroom stall door and began to interrogate: "Who prepared the resume?"

Because this is their high school homeroom teacher Idiot

The old gentleman was actually quite reluctant about this bet. The determination of the board members to close the branch office is very strong, as the Xi'an branch has been a financial burden year after year, affecting their profit distribution. If it weren't for the insistence of the technical department director, Chen Shan, this branch would have long since closed its doors. The other board members are no longer willing to test the waters in the navigation market; everyone is suggesting that the old gentleman quickly withdraw and transition to the internet.

The atmosphere became tense, and someone at the door shouted that the meeting had begun

On the sofa behind the door sits a little old man who, in his youth, must have been quite handsome, but now wears an impatient expression on his forehead. He holds a cup of tea and leisurely pushes the lid of the cup with his right hand to cool it down. He glances at the activity at the door, takes a sip of tea without revealing his emotions, and asks, "Has Xiang Yuan reported in?"

Zhang Jun was about to speak

Suddenly, the aloof person remembered something, and hurriedly took out his phone, "Wait a moment, damn, I might really know this woman!"

Xiang Yuan stayed in the general manager's office for a while. The general manager, Li Yongbiao, is around forty years old, with an ordinary appearance, a narrow and shrewd forehead, and thick eyebrows with slanted eyes. From his slicked-back hair to his shiny Yierkang leather shoes, every strand of hair exudes the smoothness that comes from being polished by socialism—his forehead seems to bear the inscription "a person of understanding".

The young lady from the secretariat hesitated to put pen to paper: "Who else is going to write? What if our bonuses are deducted again this year?"

A wave of shock swept through the crowd, as the employees exchanged glances. How could this Iron Crutch Li be so obedient? Who exactly is this woman? Isn't she a new employee? Why does she look like a parachute general manager?

It seems that this little ancestor has a greater background than that little niece, and he can only accept her with tears in his eyes

The old gentleman does not have much faith, primarily because he does not trust Chen Shan, "Does Chen Shan have such great ability?"

The meeting concluded, and everyone gradually dispersed. However, Xiang Yuan did not leave and sat in his seat playing a game for a while.

Lai Feibai collected his expression, turned around, and pushed the door to enter the office

He hurriedly said: "Little Ancestor... cough, Little Xiang, when entering a new environment, newcomers need to learn to integrate; problems cannot be solved by force. The technical department is filled with a bunch of young men, and it is normal for them not to respect you. Except for Xu Yanshi, they do not respect anyone; these kids don't even respect me most of the time. If it weren't for the fact that I hold their paychecks, who knows how they would criticize me on social media?" Li Yongbiao tried to share his grievances with her, hoping she would put down the knife and become a Buddha right away.

Do you still remember the girl we carpooled with that night? It seems you two are classmates. Was she secretly in love with you, or were you in love with her? In any case, the atmosphere was incredibly awkward. I didn't dare to ask you more when I saw your expression at that moment. I just scrolled through her Moments in the car and then saw her photos. "She has a boyfriend, right? He seems a bit older, doesn't he?"

Xiang Yuan arrived the earliest and waited in the conference room for a while until people gradually arrived.

Thus, they established three agreements

Xu Yanshi casually pulled an arm out from her chest, closed the notebook in front of her, and raised her eyes to say: "The post about being aloof was not aimed at you. It's just that too many people have been sent over from headquarters in recent years, so his reaction was a bit exaggerated"

How could anyone dare to provoke him? He is the type who, behind the scenes, posts on social media cursing his boss with great enthusiasm and satisfaction, yet when he turns around and encounters his boss, he puts on a smiling face filled with flattery and sycophancy, clenching his fist in a show of effort, saying, "Today is another day of hard work"

However, I feel like she looks somewhat familiar, but I can't recall where I have seen her before. Just now, she even smiled at me, what a nerve, I don't even know her, what is there to smile about. Don't think that I can accept her just because of that; she is indeed more beautiful than the average woman, but I am really fed up with this kind of connections. Where on earth have I seen her before?

Xu Yanshi was about to speak when he was interrupted by someone.

Who the hell would raise their hand

When Chen Shan sent him her resume, Li Yongbiao felt as if it were a joke and rejected it without hesitation. Last year, the headquarters had sent over the niece of a certain executive, who was completely incompetent, arriving late and leaving early every day, causing trouble for other colleagues. Whenever the leadership criticized her, she would report it to headquarters, resulting in their branch's bonuses for the entire year being inexplicably deducted. Li Yongbiao was a straightforward person and kept his distance from these "connections." However, Chen Shan's attitude was strong; although she did not explicitly state it, it was clear that the young lady's background was not simple.

Li Yongbiao found this little girl quite clever, as she truly did not offend anyone. She was completely different from that certain general manager's niece. For some reason, he began to look forward to seeing what this little girl could stir up in the company

With a cough, Yang regained his composure: "It's fine, you can follow Team Leader Xu if you wish, I only need to name one person, I am familiar with Gao Leng, so let Gao Leng join my team."

Identity cannot be publicly disclosed, resources from the Xiang family cannot be utilized, and the general manager cannot be parachuted into other positions at will. In any case, for those old foxes, regardless of success or failure, this branch will be closed after one year. Of course, at this moment, Xiang Yuan is still unaware that he has been deceived

Seeing her stop, Xu Yan spoke in a low voice: "Are you done?"

Bag Authentication Master: "Fake, Chanel has not released this model from 2012 to 2018."

Wade is the only leading company in the country specializing in GNSS positioning, akin to China's GPS. The recruitment starts with a master's degree from a 211 university. As a result, for an undergraduate to sign a contract with Wade, how outstanding must that young man have been at that time

Xu Yanshi said mercilessly: "You have one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight women in your WeChat, and you ask me?"

In fact, Xiang Yuan had come across a cold and sarcastic comment about Li Yongbiao's moments on social media, and probably just blocked him.

He let out a cold snort and continued to scroll down, "Well, this one is always here. Quite handsome, isn't it"

Xu Yanshi smiled wryly as she lowered her head, the smooth lines of her eyes drooping, tight with a lack of emotion, cold to the point of being chilling: "If we don't talk about Feng Jun, is there really nothing left to discuss? Are we looking for a topic or looking for a fight?"

The old man grunted, "How can you still ask? Doesn't she have any idea what she's like?" Perhaps he had swallowed some tea leaves, as he pursed his lips and spat back into the cup, continuing, "By the way, what is the relationship between Chen Shan and that Xu Yan? Why is she so protective of him?"
