Chapter 97： Dinner with Manager Xu

The purchasing department, sales department and personnel department are all on the same floor.

Manager Xu in the sales department has experienced the last time Mrs. Xu came to make trouble, and the whole person has become quite low-key.

I heard that Mrs. Xu has been very restrictive to Manager Xu since then. Regardless of economics or other aspects, Manager Xu was a little bit miserable.

Manager Xu and Zheng Mingqiu seem to have a good relationship in private, at least Manager Xu’s father-in-law has a very good relationship with Zheng Mingqiu.

Manager Xu just came out of Zheng Mingqiu's office when he passed the purchasing department.

When he passed by me, I accidentally dropped the file bag in my dress to the ground, and the files fell out of the file bag and scattered on the ground.

I saw Manager Xu picking up the file on the floor for me. When he was about to hand it to me, I noticed that his eyes were stunned, as if he had seen the contents of the file.

The moment he handed it to me, I immediately put the file back in the file bag.

"Manager Xu, long time no see."

After the file was installed, I put the file behind me, smiled and said to Manager Xu.

"Who am I? It turns out to be Lin Xi."

Manager Xu showed a clear expression: "If you have time at noon, eat a meal together?"

"Okay, Manager Xu invites, how can I refuse it?"

I smiled and said, "Manager Xu, please work first. I'll send you a document. This document is very important. If you delay it, you will be in trouble."

I emphasized the importance of the documents in my hand. After speaking, I immediately left the sales department and walked towards the personnel department.

I noticed that at the moment I turned around, Manager Xu seemed to be thinking something.

Leaving from the personnel department, I went directly to the secretary room. Fang Qi watched me come back with alertness on his face.

"Where have you been?"

"Go to the personnel department to send a notice. Although I am your assistant, I don't need to report everything to you, right?"

Most of my work is arranged by Fang Qi, but part of the work belongs to my own job.

For example, deliver some notifications from the secretary's office to various departments, send and receive company internal mail and other chores.

"You also said that you are my assistant, and I will find you at any time, so I need to know your every move."

Fang Qi then put the folder in my hand on my desk: "You translate this document and give it to me. I will use it in the afternoon. Oh, by the way, what about the conference report you did last time? Now I want to see it. Look."

I put the report compiled last time in front of her: "This is the report I compiled."

Fang Qi looked at the report with a startled expression on his face: "Remember this translated document, I will ask for it this afternoon."

"Yes."

Watching Fang Qi leave, I looked down at the documents she brought, but what I was thinking in my heart was Manager Xu's business.

At noon today, Manager Xu will probably test me. If this time is really successful, I think my situation in Wanding will be much better in an instant.

Packed up, I was busy with the documents in my hand, until I was about to get off work at noon, my phone rang.

It's from Manager Xu.

"Lin Xi, you didn't forget about lunch, did you?"

Manager Xu's slightly smiling voice rang in the handset of the phone, and I couldn't help but lift the corners of my mouth. It seemed that Manager Xu was a little uncontrollable.

"Of course I didn't forget. Manager Xu rarely invited me to have a meal. How dare I forget?"

"That's good, Linxi, you are a busy person. I think it's not easy to invite you once."

After teasing each other on the phone with Manager Xu, they hung up. I took a look at the time on the computer. It was time for the lunch break. I packed up my papers and prepared to leave the office.

As soon as he reached the door, Fang Qi came over: "Lin Xi, don't you eat with us?"

Next to her, there are other colleagues in the office who seem to be going out for lunch with her.

"No, I have something to do at noon today. Go ahead."

I smiled. If I were to go with Fang Qi, I'm afraid that my meeting with Manager Xu at noon would have to waste.

Fang Qi's gaze fell on my body, and my eyes felt a little hairy, as if he could see through my mind.

"What can you do? Isn't it because you don't want to eat with me?"

Fang Qi said with a smile, but there was already some discomfort in his eyes.

"Lin Xi, aren't you really so stingy? You haven't apologized to Fang Qi when you reported the incident last time. Should you take this opportunity to apologize to Fang Qi?"

"That's right, Fang Qi people really don't pursue it, but Lin Xi, you can't be too careful, right?"

The colleagues in the office spoke to help, and Fang Qi stood among them and looked at me, as if waiting for my answer.

The look in her eyes made me think, does she know my arrangements? But when I think about it carefully, since Mrs. Xu had a trouble one time, Manager Xu and Fang Qi have completely turned their faces, and Manager Xu dare not deal with Fang Qi at all for Mrs. Xu.

For the sake of Mrs. Xu and his reputation in the company, even if Fang Qi saw Manager Xu, he took a detour as if he hadn't seen it.

Manager Xu, shouldn't tell Fang Qi.

Or, Fang Qi just wanted to take this opportunity to save my face.

I am afraid that if I really go to lunch with them, the meal will be indigestible.

Just when I was about to refuse, Shen Ran suddenly came over: "Fang Qi, there will be a dinner for Chu always, and President Chu will call you to accompany you."

As soon as his voice fell, Fang Qi's face showed a delighted look: "Yes, Assistant Shen, I will prepare now."

After she finished speaking, she looked at me triumphantly: "Lin Xi, you have also heard that Mr. Chu asked me to accompany him to the dinner. Forget the meal today, you can't push it tomorrow!"

"Fang Qi, go and prepare."

Other colleagues began to urge, Fang Qi left in the envy of everyone's eyes, I took advantage of this moment, quietly left the office, and came to the restaurant seat agreed with Manager Xu.

When I arrived, Manager Xu seemed to wait for a while, and the hot coffee in front of him was gone.

He saw me coming, his expression on his face was very enthusiastic, and he kept beckoning at me: "Lin Xi, this."

I quickly walked over and sat opposite him: "Manager Xu."

"Lin Xi, you are very busy now. It is not easy to find you for a meal if you are busy."

Manager Xu began to complain, and I smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, what you said is not a mockery of me? Everyone knows that the secretary office is the most used by President Chu, but Fang Qi, I am just a small assistant now. , Where can I go?"

When I heard about Fang Qi, Manager Xu's expression changed slightly: "Where can it be, you and I still don't know? All this is temporary."

Immediately afterwards, Manager Xu complimented me with a few words, and rushed directly to the subject: "I heard that your secretary's office has compiled information on all the large-scale projects of Wanding in the past five years. Such a big move, shouldn’t it be Mr. Chu. What are your thoughts?"

"Hey, Manager Xu, how do you know? President Chu asked Fang Qi to do this. Fang Qi's report was excellent. At the meeting, Assistant Shen gave a good compliment to Fang Qi. Actually, neither do I I understand, why President Chu is making this report, maybe it's just a summary."

While eating, I pretended to say casually.

Manager Xu is a salesperson, and some of his words are too thorough, and he must be able to immediately notice what's wrong.

"Oh, sum it up. Mr. Chu can do this job very carefully. I didn't expect that Fang Qi's performance in the sales department was not very good. Once he arrived in the secretary room, it was immediately different."

Manager Xu's tone was filled with sourness.
