"This is the tea room, and this is Mr. Gu's office. Your seat is over there."

Chen Lingdong took Shen Li to complete the formalities at the Human Resources Department, and then took her to familiarize herself with the company.

Shen Li looked at the position of his finger. It was a simple desk with nothing on it except the necessary office supplies.

There were some personal items placed next to it, and it was obvious that someone was using them.

Seeing Shen Li's gaze, Chen Lingdong continued to explain: "This is Ying Xue's position. She has asked for leave for something. It's just right that you come and take over her job temporarily. I will introduce you to each other when she returns from leave."

Shen Li retracted his gaze and nodded: "Okay, thank you Assistant Chen."

Since Chen Lingdong saw Shen Li yesterday, she has always had a dull expression on her face, as if she didn't care about anything and had no interest in anything.

His entire temperament is completely different from that of four years ago, and there is always a faint sense of sadness about him.

After briefly explaining to her some of the things Shen Li needed to do, Chen Lingdong came over, no longer looking serious as if doing business, and whispered, "I'm afraid it will have a bad influence on you if I call you Madam in the company. From now on, I will just call you by your name. You won't mind, will you?"

Shen Li paused and said, "Assistant Chen, I'm not a wife, just call me Shen Li."

"Oh, I see. I see."

Chen Lingdong said this, but he didn't think so in his heart. He was not here to eat for nothing, to be able to stay with Gu Jingcheng for so long.

Shen Li didn't say anything more to him and sat down in his seat.

Gu Jingcheng had also arrived at the company. He went straight back to the office as if no one was there, treating Shen Li as if he were air.

Shen Li didn't care, he just sat there quietly in a daze.

She agreed to Gu Jingcheng's ridiculous request not only because of what he said yesterday, but also because of his threat.

Early in the morning on the Dragon Boat Festival, Shen Li overheard Xie Xiaoqin complaining to someone on the phone that the project had been going smoothly, but the other party suddenly started to make all kinds of excuses.

Everything was inexplicable. The deliberate traces were so clumsy, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't notice it was intentional. The other party was even "kind" enough to give her a "reminder".

Shen Li asked her casually, seemingly out of concern. Xie Xiaoqin's expression was not natural, and she stammered and evaded the question.

Considering what happened the night before, Shen Li made a rough guess.

She didn't want to let anyone around her get hurt again because of her.

Once what needed to be done was done, she could leave without any worries.

When he had some free time, Shen Li sent a message to Xie Xiaoqin, and she replied quickly. As expected, Xie Xiaoqin's troubles were resolved early in the morning.

She was not even sober yet when she was woken up by a call from a colleague with good news. Everything was going exceptionally smoothly.

She is now finishing washing up and preparing to go out to the company.

Shen Li did not tell Xie Xiaoqin what he was doing. After a brief chat, Shen Li told her that he had made an appointment with an agent to view a house. Xie Xiaoqin called and scolded him. In the end, she gave her an order:

"I told you to just stay at home and don't go anywhere!"

"What's the point of me staying here all the time? I don't want to be a light bulb that disturbs your world of two little couples."

"Who dares to say you're a light bulb? Besides, Xiaobao is so happy to have you there. When he can't see you, he pesters me every day to be his godmother."

"Okay, if it doesn't work, I can take Xiaobao with me."

"Then I have to thank you. This kid has reached an age where even dogs are annoyed by him."

Only at this time did Shen Li show a smile on his face.

She chuckled and spoke a few more words to Xie Xiaoqin before hanging up the phone, leaving the tea room and returning to her seat.

The agent sent her several properties and was very enthusiastic.

Before he could click on the message, someone knocked on the table in front of him.

When Shen Li looked up, he saw a middle-aged, fat man, dressed neatly and formally, with a serious expression. He looked at Shen Li.

"Are you new here?"

Shen Li put his phone on the table and stood up, "Yeah."

The man looked at the empty seat next to him and asked, "Where is Secretary Ying?"

Shen Li reacted for a moment. He was probably asking about Ying Xue, who Chen Lingdong mentioned had asked for leave. "She asked for leave. I will take over her job temporarily."

The man frowned and looked at Shen Li again, as if he was considering whether she was qualified for the job.

After a moment, he handed her the invitation letter in his hand: "Remember to arrange the invitation letter for Mr. Qi's birthday into Mr. Gu's schedule."

Shen Li took it and before he could reply, he heard the man say, "By the way, make a pot of tea and come to the meeting room."

As he said that, he walked straight to the small conference room next to Gu Jingcheng's office.

Shen Li glanced at the invitation letter in her hand. She didn't know who the Mr. Qi that person was talking about. Without thinking much, she put the invitation letter away, went to the tea room to make tea, and knocked on the door to enter Gu Jingcheng's office.

There were already a few people sitting in the small conference room except the man just now, and they seemed to be preparing for a meeting.

The man who asked Shen Li to make tea took a sip first and said with disgust: "How come you, a newcomer, can't even make tea properly? It's a pity to waste this excellent Mingqian Longjing tea."

Shen Li half-knelt beside the coffee table and paused while pouring tea. No one else around spoke, so she continued what she was doing.

All this was caught by Gu Jingcheng who had just come in.

Seeing her lowering her eyes and doing her own thing in silence, Gu Jingcheng frowned slightly and followed her slow movements with his eyes.

She remained silent throughout the whole process, and only stood up slowly and walked out after she finished all her things. She never raised her eyes from beginning to end, let alone looked at Gu Jingcheng.

After hearing the man's critical words, Gu Jingcheng's expression instantly turned cold, and his eyes were like a sharp sword.

After Shen Li left the meeting room, he closed the folder in his hand with a "snap" and put it on the table. The sound was neither loud nor soft, but enough to send a chill down the spine of those present.

"Since the way my people are hanging out doesn't suit Mr. Lin's taste, why not ask Vice President Lin to go back to his own place and hang out."

After saying that, before anyone could react, he pressed the internal line in front of him, "Notify the Human Resources Department. Vice President Lin has been working hard recently. Give him a good vacation."

Everyone present was dumbfounded. Others didn't even dare to breathe. Vice President Lin, who was mentioned, had his eyes wide open with a look of shock.

He was fired?!

Could it be that what he did was exposed? Impossible, he was so cautious.

He stood up and asked, "Mr. Gu, what do you mean?" He wanted to know the truth even if he died.

Gu Jingcheng gave him a cold look, piercing his bones. He glanced at the door without saying a word, and his meaning was obvious.

"Liu Yun, do you have no one under you?"

Liu Yun, whose name was suddenly called, broke out in sweat and immediately took out his phone. "Manager Li has had experience in this area before, and he has been involved in this project a lot. I will notify him to come over immediately."

Vice President Lin didn't dare to say anything else and left the office in shame.

Shen Li, who had just received a strange call from Gu Jingcheng, was still thinking about how to inform the Personnel Department and who Vice President Lin was, when she saw the man who had just bossed her around and arranged things come out with a sullen face.

In less than five minutes, another man came jogging over, panting, holding a computer. He stopped at the door, took a few deep breaths, knocked on the door and went in.

Half an hour later, everyone came out one after another. They looked very unhappy and as if relieved from a heavy burden.

Liu Yun, who was walking at the back, let out a long sigh and looked at Shen Li, who was working quietly with his head down, without making any expression.

He stayed out of the matter and looked cold and indifferent. He didn't look like he was here to be an assistant.

When he passed by her, he smiled and greeted her: "Are you Mr. Gu's new assistant?"

Shen Li put down what he was doing, stood up politely and responded: "Yeah."

Liu Yun looked at the man carefully from a close distance, and at the same time, he smiled and gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Not bad, the tea you brew is very fragrant. I will definitely ask you for advice some other day."

As he was talking to himself, in front of Shen Li's puzzled look, he suddenly quickly followed the others and walked away.

In fact, he wanted to talk to Shen Li a few more times, but suddenly he felt a chill on his back. He caught a glimpse of Gu Jingcheng's stabbing look from the corner of his eye, so he ran away.

Gu Jingcheng stood at the door of the small conference room, glanced at the people walking away, and walked into the office.

After everyone left, Shen Li went to clean up the meeting room.

She found that all the teacups were empty and no one asked her to go in and add more tea. It was very strange.

-

A few minutes ago, the meeting ended and everyone stood up quickly, wanting to leave quickly.

I was afraid that if I stayed any longer, I would become the next Vice President Lin just by taking a breath.

Gu Jingcheng, however, sat in his seat, staring at the tea that no one dared to touch except Manager Li who came in last.

"The tea is cold."

He said this lightly, and everyone present stopped and looked at each other, their eyes wandering between each other's faces and the tea in front of them.

It was Liu Yun who had good sense. He was the first to raise the cup and drink it all in one gulp, not forgetting to praise its deliciousness.

Naturally, everyone followed suit.

Manager Li, whose cup had long been empty, touched his nose and thought: Isn't this just ordinary tea?

He finished drinking because he was talking the most, thirsty.

The atmosphere at the scene was very strange. He had the lowest position among everyone, and even if he had any doubts in his mind, he didn't dare to express them at this time.

Everyone was drinking, so he felt it was inappropriate for him to be left without any, so he drank up the rest of the teapot.
