PART10
Oh dear, Cai... Assistant, why are you eating so lightly! One after another, people passed by our table, and even Manager Li from the marketing department, feeling quite anxious, voluntarily brought over a plate of braised carp.
He looked up ominously, his expression devoid of emotion, and said in a cold voice: "I am accustomed to marking clients that I cannot conquer in red font; it makes me feel a bit better!"
I stammered an explanation: "There are too many names, it's dazzling!"
I am in tears. By the way, I forgot to mention that Cai Qi is the assistant manager, and I am the assistant to the assistant manager. In general, he and I are in the same job category. To be specific, his assistant is one level above me!
He silently looked at me, and after a long while, reached out to touch my head, and, greatly shocked, praised me: "Ye Hongqi, you can still be more shameless!"
He smiled mysteriously and took out a roll of paper from his large bag: "Don't go in, I've already taken it out. The men's restroom is mine, and the women's restroom is yours"
Stingy, I shot him a fierce glare, then lowered my head and began to type on the keyboard
As I focused my gaze, it indeed appeared so; the thick black frame accentuated my mistakes even more clearly
I truly wish to turn him into an exclamation mark !
I merely glanced, and my tears flowed even more sorrowfully: "Assistant Cai..." I sobbed, breathless.
"Let's have the next meal together, and we can order braised pork!" He looked at me with sincere eyes, his chopsticks crossing over my hand, picking out the last piece of lean meat from the bowl of braised pork in my hand and swallowing it.
I ate plain rice with tears streaming down my face, while simultaneously sending my regards to all the relatives and ancestors of the Cai family in my heart.
He generously pushed the braised carp over and said, "This is for you!"
Oh? I immediately wagged my tail and approached.
The people in the crowded cafeteria were all petrified, anxiously glancing over at our table
I thought about it and decided to answer him honestly: "Assistant Cai, I like Tianyue, I like the 23rd floor"
Oh, very good. This awareness is essential at all times
I sobbed while holding the rice bowl, pouting: "Assistant Cai, there are no more dishes!"
No further examples! He turned his face, and I saw the corners of his mouth still twitching habitually
"Red Flag, are you still adapting to work?" Cai Qi suddenly asked me while standing downstairs
At noon, I sent the Excel spreadsheet to Cai Qi via email. He pondered while rolling the mouse, across the table, his long, fair fingers tapping on the surface, stirring my heart into a state of confusion
He cast a sidelong glance, his lips twitching: "Ye Hongqi, I said that every time the first brew of my tea loses its flavor immediately, it turns out your teapot is this large"
Assistant Cai, why did you come to the cafeteria to eat in person today
I glanced down at my name tag, adjusted my emotions within three seconds, suddenly looked up, and broke into a broad smile, truly a sight to behold: "How could it be, Assistant Cai, this allocation is simply wonderful! I am so happy!" Happy my foot!
10, how can I earn back these points on https://m.hetushu.com? I originally had 50 points in my account, and now I am at the same starting line as others, which puts me significantly behind.
I wiped away a bead of sweat and forced a smile at him: "Assistant Cai, why don't you try tapping on my keyboard as well? It's actually quite intellectually stimulating!"
He smiled lightly and said in a gentle tone, "As long as you like it, let's continue to steal toilet paper tomorrow"
Wow, I feel a great sense of accomplishment
Damn, his standards are ruthless, Cai Qi, you are truly merciless! I am overwhelmed with sorrow, my lips quivering, and suddenly I burst into tears, holding my face. As I cry, I am also pushing his keyboard aside.
I can't believe it, what gives! My little universe ignited in an instant
I am deeply moved, and my tears finally flow down. I threw my bowl to the ground and shouted: "I am allergic to fish; I only eat meat!"
I scratch, I claw, I pick
I pursed my lips, retrieved a large teapot from under the table, and poured him a fresh cup of tea into his small teacup.
A young lady even took the initiative to sit down, playfully pointing at my bowl: "Oh my, the little assistant has quite an appetite!"
I hurriedly ran to the company's restroom, intending to grab some toilet paper to put in my pocket for later use
The raging fire of anger instantly consumed me, and I immediately transformed into the Hulk. I did not even regard Cai Qi's meager strength, and I desperately clawed at his keyboard. Remembering my unattainable score of 10 points, my resentment intensified even further
"Oh dear, are you going in to grab some toilet paper?" He stretched out his arm and stopped me, looking at me with sparkling eyes. I couldn't help but be mesmerized by his gaze; such bright and clear eyes, truly beautiful
I silently watched him, maintaining an expression of utter despair in my eyes. He felt my gaze so intensely that he became uneasy, changing his posture more than ten times within five minutes. Finally, unable to contain himself, he exclaimed in anger: "Ye Hongqi, are you still not convinced?! Is this the look of someone who admits their mistake?!" He continued to review my forms and ultimately discovered new errors in the supplementary details.
"If you are not going to work diligently, then do not come to work!" He pressed his index finger on the mouse, gently dragging it down, and then pointed at the table angrily: "The two names here are reversed!"
Do not give me meat; even the Emperor would be of no use.
Ye Hongqi, are you illiterate?" He raised his head, his voice icy, pointing at my form and reprimanding, "These two need to be merged, yet you used a bold black border!"
I convulsed as I looked at him, and after a long while, I extended my thumb and sincerely praised him: "Next time, take me along; I also want to mingle with the elites"
I couldn't help but be curious, so I quietly asked him: "Assistant Cai, why were you dressed in a suit that day, looking so elite?"
Cai Qi smiled and said: "Be good, don't be angry! As long as you follow me, you will definitely have meat to eat!"
How can one indulge in solitary feasting? Cai Qi's chopsticks fell again, sweeping away the remnants like the wind dispersing the clouds. Within a few minutes, all the lean meat in the bowl was picked clean.
Hmm! I wipe my tears, lowering my head while holding the meal card.
He sensed my fervent admiration, lifted his gaze, and coldly glanced at me, curling the corner of his mouth: "Ye Hongqi, I warn you, if the form is not completed by noon, I will deduct your points"
I clenched my fists in anger and looked up at him with pure eyes: "Assistant Cai, you may insult my appearance, but you cannot insult my character"
He jumped three feet away, looking at me with the eyes of an enemy: "This won't do, a mountain cannot accommodate two pretentious individuals; you must carve out your own territory, do not say that place is mine!"
"Is assembling games fun?" Ye Hongqi asked, his smile eerie.
I once misheard Cai Qi, dressed in a suit, as Manager Cai due to my hearing impairment. I thought that the marketing department of Tianyue Group was under his management. However, the truth proved that one should never trust one's ears, and even more so, one should not trust one's eyes, as they always provide misleading information
"Do not waste it; I will reluctantly help you eat it!" I continued to look seriously at the braised pork in her hand
"Evil... you..." She came to her senses, gagging as she slammed her hand on the table and stood up. Her gaze fell on the cold-faced Cai Qi, and suddenly her anger dissipated.
He looked at me with a pale face, tapped the table, and suddenly broke into a brilliant smile, saying: "I originally thought that if you sincerely and earnestly offered an apology, I would consider adjusting your score accordingly..."
"Red Flag, you are really embarrassing me!" Cai Qi's face was indeed dark, but in just two or three seconds, his expression changed to one of exceptional happiness: "Ah, so you are allergic to fish too!"
I pulled him along, swiftly descending the stairs by the elevator.
Cai Qi noticed my cautious gaze upon him, and seeing me hide the large teapot in a mysterious manner, his eyes darkened, his expression grew somber, and he lowered his head, striking the keyboard with even greater intensity
By the way, the internship period operates on a points system, and only those who achieve a score of 80 points by the end of the internship will be retained
I looked up with a surge of emotion and saw Cai Qi's cold and indifferent expression. A shiver ran through me, and my excitement quickly faded. After some thought, I decided to start picking up the keyboard keys to reassemble them.
Ah, I... am... angry! ... I am!
As for those two bowls of vegetarian dishes, he scooped a little for me, while the rest he served into his own bowl
I placed a hand on his shoulder and graciously forgave him for the incident of snatching the braised pork.
I remained silent
I shrugged my shoulders and looked at him with a worshipful gaze, as if he were a presence as lofty and far-reaching as a mountain, and I felt ashamed of my youthful insignificance
I take pride in my intelligence, for I seem to understand his underlying message. That message is that he considers all the clients he cannot conquer as if they were dead
I remain silent; shouldn't such matters be addressed once a week
Ah... Ah... Ah... I, along with the illustrated book, want to eat meat! I let out a long howl towards the sky
I clutched my meal card, feeling utterly despondent. Cai Qi, sitting across the table, beckoned me over with a gesture of his finger. Reluctantly, I made my way over.
After coughing for a long time, I restrained my desire to throw a punch and tearfully explained: "Actually, I wasn't spitting; that was my warm-up before eating!"
Points 40, if you do not make an effort, you can seek another path in less than a month!" Cai Qi leaned back in the chair, observing my expression
I asked her very seriously: "How will you handle the braised pork in your hand"
I silently raised my chopsticks, my eyes drifting past her ample bosom to the bowl of braised pork in her hands, drooling with desire
Hongqi, please prepare the Excel spreadsheet for me before noon today, ensuring that the order is properly arranged, this...
I suddenly became alert and quickly hid the teapot back under the table. Jokingly, I thought that the school charges two dimes for a bottle of water, so I should save some to take back to the dormitory and sip slowly. Oh yes, work is really good; disposable paper and tea are completely taken care of.
He glanced at me with a smile that was not quite a smile, then turned and left
Ah? My movements froze for a moment
I recalled Ning Mo's charitable expression: "Red Flag, don't hold on any longer. The competition at Tianyue is too fierce. It would be better for you to take a practical approach and work as a small employee in a small company. You inherently lack decisiveness, and without decisiveness, you cannot survive at Tianyue! How will you manage to get by?"
She turned around, her face twitching severely: "Assistant, is there anything else?"
I happily picked up a piece of braised pork, just about to send it to my mouth
What a treacherous man
Is he coveting my teapot
Cai Qi's face was dark with a hint of green, and in the end, he completely gave up resisting, coldly watching as I pried each key off the keyboard one by one
Sigh, Manager Li has gone into the restroom and hasn't come out yet. I'm afraid he will find out that we have divided the toilet paper!" He reminded me with great concern
In a moment of inspiration, I suddenly understood. With a swift movement, I immediately knelt down at lightning speed, embracing his thigh, choking back tears as I pleaded, "Assistant Cai, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
As a result, for lunch I prepared a dish of shredded potatoes with green peppers and a plate of large-headed cabbage. Comrade Cai Qi displayed his masculine generosity by serving each of us half a kilogram of rice.
She was taken aback for a moment and replied to me as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "Just pour it out!"
Ye Hongqi, stay here, your form has issues
He waved his hand, looking quite embarrassed: "Don't be moved, just eat, just eat!"
She finally broke down, hurriedly tossing the braised pork in her hand onto the table, and ran away swiftly, disappearing in an instant
After finishing, my mood was greatly relieved. That pile of keyboard keys, stacked on his desk, resembled a small black mountain
After a long time, I couldn't help but kick the table where Cai Qi was sitting and asked, "Why must we highlight these clients' names in red?"
Red Flag, how can you be so shameless
He gritted his teeth, resolutely, and whispered to me again: "Don't think that there are many wealthy women at the coffee shop. When I sit there, I exude the appearance of an elite and the charm of a diamond bachelor. I am counting on hooking up with one of them, and then I can live worry-free for the rest of my life!"
"Red Flag, should we go downstairs quickly?" He looked at me hesitantly
Until the end of the workday, I did not forgive Cai Qi, maintaining a cold expression as I tapped away at my desk. He occasionally glanced my way, but I continued to respond to him with a frosty demeanor.
He shot me a fierce glare, took my bowl, and flung me several steps away.
However, this time, it cannot melt my heart that is hungry for flesh
"Please take your time! I am already full!" She wiped her face with a frown and stood up to leave
His smile is undoubtedly the most beautiful; even though I am infatuated with Ning Mo, I cannot help but admit that when he smiles, he can melt everything away
I stood beside Cai Qi, watching as he took the plans one by one from the manager and then handed them to me, one by one
"Ye Hongqi, what are you going to do?" Cai Qi, with a large bag slung over his shoulder, leaned against the bathroom door and looked at me. When he saw me glance over, he smiled warmly at me.
Colleagues nearby were gradually taking their meal cards to go eat. I stealthily pulled out my meal card from the drawer, intending to sneak out through the back door to join them for lunch. Just as I opened the drawer, Cai Qi across from me lifted his head.
"What are you doing, Ye Hongqi? I'm telling you this is company property!" He scolded me angrily while protecting the keyboard.
Assistant Cai, you lack a sense of morality
As I was about to leave, I noticed the security guard with a serious expression, which made me quite anxious, fearing that he would see through my bulging little backpack. Fortunately, he merely nodded obsequiously at Cai Qi and said nothing.
With a puff, I spat out a mouthful of rice, catching the unsuspecting girl, who was giggling, completely off guard, splattering her face and head. She even reflexively chewed on the grains of rice that I had sprayed into her mouth.
I will not forgive anyone who obstructs my eating meat
I continued to throw the rice bowl in anger: "Get lost, don't mimic my tone!"
Cai Qi looked at me with a half-smile and I replied to her: "Don't you know? She is still a child, in the process of growth and development, so she should eat more good food"
To emphasize my tone, I cried out louder: "Well, Assistant Cai, I am still just a child..."
He raised his eyes, looked at me with disdain, and sneered: "Everyone makes excuses like you do; who will take responsibility for these trivial mistakes?"
Why
I was leaning over the white rice, and when I looked up, I saw the young women from the administrative department next door gazing at Cai Qi with a look of deep admiration
I typed vigorously on the keyboard; at 5:15 PM, I officially finished work
I stood in front of his desk, filled with both anger and fear. Without this job at Tianyue, what would I have left to uphold my self-esteem, my precarious self-esteem
Do not curse while eating! Cai Qi tapped the edge of my bowl with chopsticks, offering a very pertinent suggestion
How is it, is it inappropriate? He turned his face to look at me, a rather handsome and refined face, but how can he be so shameless
Wait! I grabbed her firmly.
He looked at me speechlessly, hesitated for a long time, then lowered his head and replied in a voice so small it could not be any smaller: "Ye Hongqi, please don't tell anyone that I went to Modao to act like a petty bourgeois!"
Cai Qi, truly loyal!
He paused mid-sentence, glancing at me with lingering thoughts
I looked at him with a mouthful of plain rice, filled with deep sorrow
What is my level of skill? The true masters are hidden among the common people
He must be trying to drive me out of Tianyue; otherwise, why would he be so ruthless in his actions
He reached out and pulled the card from around my neck, extracting the points card from it. Using a magnet, he swiped it on the computer, and with his long fingers, he tapped the keyboard, causing my points to immediately decrease by 10.
Ah, I'm so full!" He patted his belly in satisfaction, but when he turned around, he was startled and almost dropped the basin: "Ye Hongqi, why are you crying?"
I let out a hum and was about to walk past him.
Ye Hongqi, furthermore, do not pour tea from the cup I have brewed; you should drink your own! He did not lift his head, lightly reproaching me.
Look, there is still an error! This is a period, it should not be a comma! I should deduct another 10 points from you. He looked at me very seriously
Let's go eat together! He stood up, pulled out the meal card, grabbed my arm, and walked a few steps with me. Releasing his grip, he said: "You are responsible for serving the dishes, and I will take care of the rice"
I followed behind him, spitting mouthful after mouthful of water at him. Cai Qi, you are so venomous. I know, you just can't stand that I have savings in my meal card
"Ye Hongqi, if you spit at me again, I will confiscate your water bottle this afternoon!" He suddenly turned around, and I was unable to spit out the mouthful of water in time, which immediately choked me, leaving me in tears.
He fell silent once more. After a long while, gripping the badge around my neck, he effortlessly lifted me up. With the magnetic device next to the keyboard, he swiped it with a beep, and with a gentle press of his slender index finger, the lost 10 points indeed returned.
I can't believe it, not coming to eat in person. Does he expect his assistant to help him eat? It's absolutely ridiculous
I cut in, isn't it just the second tea, the third tea, the Nth tea? I find his Tieguanyin very fragrant, and every time he leaves his seat, I secretly pour it into my large kettle, filling it up, and then refill his cup. I thought I was being seamless, but little did I know his sense of smell is more acute than a dog's
Although my personality is also quite insignificant, as small as a needle tip or a grain of rice
The names of these clients should be marked in red! He bent down, pointing to the lines of client names on the paper, providing explanations. Today, he was still wearing a white T-shirt and light blue jeans, but he had replaced the clattering slippers with a pair of open-toed leather sandals. The overall impression was clean and clear, completely contrasting with the elite image he had in the café.
How can I lose this job, how can I let Ning Mo see me in a state of defeat
Cai Qi, these plans will be needed for the meeting next week. Please organize and communicate them.
