Chapter 80



The room fell into silence all of a sudden.

The secretary had been following Shen Cheng for two years, sometimes he understands Shen Cheng's temper, and when this man is suddenly silent, half of him is definitely not in a good mood. But it is too strange, obviously the project team submitted the task on time, why is he in a bad mood instead?

The man sitting at the golden-wood desk was quietly looking at the computer screen, his face expressionless and inscrutable, he seemed to be looking at the content on the screen, but not really looking. His long fingers tapping on the desktop, the subtle sound hammered into the secretary's heart.

Nervousness.

Apprehension.

Shen Cheng didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to go, he couldn't even figure out the way, every minute was like torture.

Finally, sitting at the table, Shen Cheng spoke: "Has the project team left?"

The secretary hurriedly said, "I don't think so."

"Hmm."

Shen Cheng quickly ticked off a few points on the document, and instructed, “The seminar will be held tomorrow, the problematic points rejected, let the project team change them before sending them home."

The secretary looked at Shen Cheng with some shock.

Shen Cheng frowned inaudibly, "What?"

An inexplicable chill hit the secretary's back, he rushed and panicked: "No problem, I'll go and communicate."

How could there be no problem, there was a big problem!

Back in the office, the secretary took a look at the things that had been typed back, the places that had been marked out were fine and red, looking a bit touchy-feely, and those who didn't know would have thought that the project team had offended Mr. Shen by turning in late again today.

But what was even more alarming to the secretary was that from the time Shen Cheng started looking at it to the end, it was only about ten minutes, but he had completely eaten through the new project in such a short time, and had even managed to identify the problematic points that seemed to be red, but were indeed spot on.

The secretary let out a deep breath out, he suddenly felt, in some ways, Mr. Shen is also definitely a genius, right? Some people, no matter where they stand, no matter what kind of field they are in, will be pinnacles of existence ah.

......

The Next Day



The new episode of, “ Go Workers” started on time.

Yesterday was the first day of the initial broadcast, and because the publicity from the program team wasn't quite enough, the program didn't have much buzz originally, and the number of people on the live streaming platform it was on certainly only averaged around three to five million. But after the trial day yesterday, at eight o'clock in the morning, the number of active users on line had exceeded six million!

"I come in admiration."

"Is this the variety show that gnaws on steamed buns at lunchtime?"

"Hahahaha, please is this that workplace mega romance variety show?"

"Hahahaha laughing to death."

The program team themselves didn't expect the heat to be that big.

The guests naturally didn't expect it even more, they only rested in the early hours of yesterday morning and had to rush over at six or seven today to make preparations.

Li Li had been waiting for them for a long time, and after she received the interns in the first floor lobby, she said, "Good morning everyone, it's the start of a new day, thank you all for your hard work yesterday, let's do a review of everyone's performance yesterday today, let's start by guessing who will score the highest?"

The four of them looked at each other with different thoughts.

Sun Liman was the most active: "I guess the highest is Jin Zhe, he was the first one to finish the task, I heard he was busy after five o'clock, the team leader was quite happy with him."

Since the interns didn't know the scores given to them by the various team leaders after the task was completed yesterday, they could only make dry guesses at this point.

Jinzhe gently pushed his glasses and modestly said, "No, you weren't bad either, you were praised by a customer afterall.

Sun Liman smiled a little embarrassed, but one could see that she herself had confidence in herself.

Su Yuluo looked at Jian Shiwu, "Guess yours?"

?

Jian Shiwu didn't expect how Su Yuluo, who had never been a talker, would suddenly notice him, and he first panicked briefly for a moment before speaking, “My score...should be the lowest."

The others looked over in surprise.

Jian Shiwu scratched his head with some embarrassment, "Although I sort of worked yesterday, I didn't actually touch any substantial projects, I just did odd jobs."

And yesterday he was busy all afternoon with his feet on the ground, Gu Duan just didn't deduct his marks. Other interns were getting better in the afternoon, already slowly turning their marks, only he still had a -10.

The other interns smiled when they heard this.

After all, in the beginning, they all graduated from prestigious schools, not to mention other things, just in terms of academic qualifications, they are considered to be crushing Jian Shiwu. If they are sorted according to the order, it is normal for Jian Shiwu to be the lowest.

Li Li smiled as she said, "Then let's reveal it."

The screen behind her lit up and the score panel revealed the following numbers.

Sun Liman: 30 points

Jin Rut: 35 points

Su Yuluo: 40 points

Jian Shiwu: 53 points



“......”



There was a moment of silence.

The interns all twisted their heads to look at Jian Shiwu with some disbelief, the shock in their eyes had spread out.

Li Li smiled and pushed open the details page again, "This is your specific scoring, take a look."

Jian Shiwu was also very shocked!

He looked up at the scoring details page and saw that his project's group score was actually 40, with the rest being popular scores.

Li Li explained, "The group rating is the degree of completion of your task. Our single-item completion rate is 40 points, the project team that Jian Shiwu was in yesterday submitted the project report on time, no matter how the process was, it was considered a successful task, so the 40 points are well deserved."

Sun Leman interjected, "And the extra 10 points?"

"Popular scoring."

Li Li looked at Jian Shiwu's score with admiration: "Each ordinary employee can add 0.5 points for him, a total of 15 colleagues gave Jian’s rating yesterday, and five points were given by Miss HR, thanking him for helping to fix the water dispenser and saving a lot of trouble."

As soon as the words fell, the rest of the group fell silent.

Because in the eyes of other people, the project really had nothing to do with Jian Shiwu, the project team did the work, Jian Shiwu…is this is not laying down to win? The luck is really too good, it turns out that doing odd jobs can win ah, it really makes people a bit unhappy.

Sun Liman said, "Little Jian, you are so lucky!"

Jian Shiwu laughed bitterly, "Don’t be sarcastic."

Luck?

He really didn't think he was very lucky.

If he had the chance, he still wanted to choose to work, after all, no one wanted to be seen as a jerk.

What the others hadn't expected was that the wind was blowing in the other direction for the viewers of the live stream: "I think Xiao Jian's score is good.

"I think Little Jian deserved his score."

"Yeah, not a lucky lay."

"The others had a difficult time working the process but at least they weren't ostracized, but Xiaojian was given the cold shoulder as soon as he got to the 18th floor."

"Yes, yes, I think so too."

Li Li said, "We are re-offering four positions today, in order to choose the positions according to yesterday's high rating, come, Xiao Jian is the first."

Jian Shiwu walked to the blackboard and looked at the four new jobs clearly.

1: Assist with project translation and finishing

2: Assist with the new project launch site set-up

3: Handling customer disputes for new projects

4: Assist personnel to complete data statistics

The four jobs, it seems 1 and 3 are really clerical jobs, but 3 he wasn’t very sure, Jian hesitated and finally chose 1, he can speak more kinds of languages, so translation might work just fine.

The others also came over to choose. When everyone had finished choosing, Li Li still beckoned to Jian Shiwu: "Let's go, I’ll take you to the door."

Seeing that it was still her to take him up, Jian Shiwu had an ominous feeling: "Sister Li?"

Li Li smiled, "What's wrong?"

Jian Shiwu enquired, "Where are we...where are we going?"

"The 18th floor." Li Li had an expression like ‘you only know about it’.

"Don't you know, this time the translation job is to cooperate with Master Duan and the others in the meeting today, ah."

"......"

Jian Shiwu's expression froze.

"What's wrong?" Li Li inquired, "You guys should have gotten along well yesterday, right, with such a high score, are you happy silly?"

Under the strange gaze of Li Li, the live stream viewers were already laughing.

"That's really good."

"Hahahaha, it's okay to be happy and silly."

"I can assure you, that's definitely not a happy faced kid."

"Sorry, little Jian is so funny."

The four live broadcast rooms originally had Jinzhe and the others as a little more popular, after all, their education and ability were not bad, and Jian Shiwu, who came from a normal school, was the least competitive, but the viewers just loved watching Little Jian work, so much fun and so much more laughter.

Eighteenth floor.

It's the same time as yesterday that Jian was here.

But his treatment was very different from yesterday. When he came over today, some of his colleagues on the edges would greet him: "Jian is here!"

"Sister Lu."

"Little Jian, quite early."

"Hello, Brother Wang."

"Xiao Jian, ah..."

These people are all colleagues who handed in their proposals yesterday, it is well known that Gu Duan this person is very bad-tempered, especially when it comes to handing in proposals, with a little displeasure he would call people in to scold them head to head. But yesterday Jian Shiwu as a small assistant had to take on some of the functions of the mouthpiece, and also indirectly resisted a scolding for some people.

When he came in today, many people were much closer to him.

Seeing that Sister Lu had dark circles under her eyes, Jian Shiwu inquired, "Didn't Sister Lu get a good night's rest last night?"

"Damn, don’t mention it."

Lu Wan sighed: "Yesterday the proposal we submitted was knocked back by the president's office, circling out a lot of problems, especially Master Duan, who was pressed to change the proposal until the early hours of the morning."

Other colleagues also gathered around.

"That's right, I really haven't seen General Manager Shen that strict before."

"Don't you think it's strange, we've submitted proposals before, and although we've changed them, we've never had so many circled problems."

"I'd say it's not that bad."

"But it seemed like...Mr. Shen seemed to have a bit of a grudge last night."

"Strange, no one can piss off the president's office either, huh?"

Jian Shiwu was also bewildered by what he heard.

But when others say Shen Cheng, he still listens attentively and regards it as the most important thing. He didn't want to admit it, but in his heart, Shen Cheng had a very heavy weight.

Sister Lu patted Jian Shiwu's shoulder and said, "You have work today, right, go."

Jian Shiwu unconsciously showed a bitter smile.

The others were extraordinarily understanding, and Sister Lu reassured him, "Don’t look like this, he should actually like you quite a bit, there was an assistant who came over before and quit within two days, simply couldn’t stand that stinky temper of his, you are the only one who not only wasn’t restrained by him, but also managed to hold him back, so go for it, make a miracle."

?

Something didn't seem right.

Despite this, Jian Shiwu resigned himself to going to the office. It was eight o'clock and Gu Duan had actually not come to work yet. It had only been one night, but the office was like a storm passed through, the floor was full of paper, full of messy pencil drawings, pillows, and what’s more folders were thrown everywhere, the pencils sharpened yesterday had even rolled onto the floor.

......

Is he a husky?

The corners of Jian Shiwu's mouth twitched as he resigned himseld to start cleaning up, he thought today was a new day to start his wonderful job, but he didn't expect to actually still be an old mother.

At nine o’clock, Gu Duan arrived at the office.

Last night's messy office was tidied up with a new look, a cup of brewed honey tea, new sharpened pencils on the table, even the sketch paper for drawing had been replaced with a new stack by the desk. Walking to the office and sitting down, the new that had been delivered today were divided up for him according to priority and placed neatly on the desk.

"Knock, knock."

There was a knock at the door.

Gu Duan: "Come in."

The one who entered was actually Jian Shiwu again, the teenager was wearing a plain outfit today, a white shirt, light curry seven-part trousers, and was carrying a new small flower pot in his hand.

?

Gu Duan's red hair was on end, and his tone was unkind: "Why you again."

Jian Shiwu turned around and closed the door behind him, resigning himself to answer, "Well, because the topic I chose today happens to be translation."

I should have asked why do you have that look on your face like I'm pestering you?

Gu Duan raised his eyebrows: "You seem to like the job of being my assistant?"

Jian Shiwu: "Just...it was really an accident."

Gu Duan had an expression like do you think I believe it.

The viewers in the live broadcast room were already laughing their heads off:

"Hahahaha, Master Duan’s subtext is: you abrasive little demon."

"Crush on me straight up."

"Hahahaha, what a beautiful misunderstanding."

Jian Shiwu was too lazy to talk to him so much, so he put the flower pot on the small balcony on the left side of the office. The young man's skin was white and reflective in the sunlight, his long, slender fingertips fiddling with the small leaves of the succulent, his big, round eyes filled with tenderness, and a light smile on his face.

However, Gu Duan, who was looking for a fight, didn't stop there: "Who gave you permission to bring something in without permission?"

"You misunderstood, this succulent was originally on your balcony." Jian twisted his head, his voice soft, "I saw that part of it was rotten when I tidied up the office this morning, but the bottom part was still alive, so I took it out and transplanted it so that the bottom part could still grow out again."

Gu Duan choked up.

Jian was puzzled when he said, "Is it possible, that you haven't been paying it attention, have you?"

How fresh it was, the flowers in your own office have been there for so long, you actually thought today’s the first time there were potted flowers here.

Gu Duan was distracted by the watery eyes, he rubbed his hair, "I don't have time to care about that!"

"......"

Jian Shiwu didn't take the opportunity to laugh at him, and continued to turn his face and play with his small flowerpot. Plants always make people feel good, this one was succulent and so fleshy, the corners of the teenager's mouth unconsciously pursed up into a light smile, twisting his head to position the pot to ensure that it can grow safely, but also back in the shade and get a good growing environment.

It was definitely a rare sight for Gu Duan's office, a clean teenager bathed in sunlight, small green plants, kawaii vases, everything was a little out of place, yet somehow...comfortable.

Gu Duan waited for a short while and noticed that Jian Shiwu wasn't looking at him, so he spoke out to remind him, "Get it straight, your job isn't to look after flowers."

Jian Shiwu turned around and he immediately came over, excited: "So is there something work that needs to be done?"

Gu Duan was silent.

He just wanted to call Jian Shiwu, but hadn't thought of what kind of job to give him.

Luckily, there was a knock on the door outside: "Master Duan, everything is set for the meeting, let's go there now."

Gu Duan immediately said to Jian Shiwu, "Take the materials, aren't you the translator, why are you frozen!"

"Okay."

Jian Shiwu didn't even bother with his bad attitude, he had a job anyway, he might not see him tomorrow, he was just being stupid to be angry with this man.

The floor where the meeting was held was not on the 18th floor, but on the 20th.

Behind Gu Duan, there were also the main leaders of several projects with Lu Wan. They are all very serious, but they looked nervous.

Lu Wan quietly said to him, "Because this meeting will be attended by General Manager Shen."

What?

Jian Shiwu looked up at her in shock.

Lu Wan smiled and said, "Don’t be nervous, you may not know Mr. Shen, but he actually doesn’t really have too much interaction with us except for strictly work, you are responsible for translating beside Master Duan, you may not even have the chance to talk."

Jian Shiwu wanted to say that it wasn't that he didn't know Shen Cheng, strictly speaking, he maybe the one who knew Shen Cheng best inside this group, but being able to not get in touch with Mr. Shen was a complete relief, right now he hadn't thought about what kind of posture he wanted to use to face the man.

......

The twentieth floor arrived.

The meeting room was filled with the heads of various departments, they were going to do a seminar meeting today for the new products and because it involved some commercial secrets, the live broadcast was temporarily closed, Jian Shiwu could only just had to go in.

The conference room was full, he could only move a small bench to sit next to Gu Duan. This time there would be a remote international meeting. Ji's products cover the world, which means that there would be quite a few national regional agents also involved in speaking, such a big scene was grand, no one chatted idly in the conference room, rows and rows of computers and documents, the sound of paper clattering.

Ten minutes later, the President's Office arrived.

The glass doors were pushed open and the whole bureau's weighty characters arrived. Shen Cheng, wearing a black high-fashion suit, came in through the door. First into view were slender legs, the incandescent lights of the conference room fell on his body, cold eyebrows like icebergs, behind him followed by his secretary and another member of management. Once he came in, the conference room all clattered to their feet, quite neatly.

The secretary walked to the chief and pulled out a chair for him, Shen Cheng indifferently swept a glance at the crowd, "Sit."

All of them sat down in unison.

Jian Shiwu also returned to his own little bench, not knowing why, he always felt a line of sight falling behind him, like a shadow, but when he looked up, the man sitting at the head of the table wasn't even looking at him.

Was he being paranoid?

Shen Cheng didn't look at him, but Jian could stare blankly at him. The man sitting at the head of the table seemed to notice, and he looked up, his sharp gaze sweeping over, directly in line with the little interpreter, the dark eyes deep and profound, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Jian Shiwu was caught in the act and looked down as if he was a thief.

In the front, Shen Cheng's secretary set up the PPT equipment and began to prepare for the various departments to report on the design ideas of the new products and the route to be taken afterwards. The white cloth for the international conference on the big screen was also wired successfully, and as the curtains fell around them, everyone lifted their heads up to look at the big screen.

The secretary looked to Shen Cheng: "Boss, shall we begin?"

Shen Cheng nodded his head: "Let's begin."

First the group from abroad reported on their work, this was the head of the Italian branch, his English was very good, but it was only at this time that Jian Shiwu knew that Gu Duan's English was very bad. So when that head spoke a little fast, Jian Shiwu would have to whisper next to him and translate for Gu Duan, sometimes the man would pop up a few sentences in Italian, and Jian Shiwu could translate well for Gu Duan thoughtfully.

The meeting room was quiet, most of them were looking at the big screen.

Only two people in the corner whispered.

"Didn't catch that."

"The latitudes are different, he just said the latitudes are different, and he also said the release is for a different audience."

"Can't you make that clear?"

Jian Shiwu was a little dejected, he resigned himself to pulling his chair a little closer to him, leaning against Gu Duan, and afraid that the sound would affect the others, fortunately just pulling the redhead a little closer to himself, just short of attaching himself to the other ‘s ear to speak. For the two of them personally it was a translation, but in the eyes of other people it did not look so good.

As soon as Shen Cheng, who was sitting in the chief chair, looked up, he saw the two people in the corner very close to each other, especially Jian Shiwu. The whole person was going to stick to Gu Duan, talking, leaning so close, that chattering little mouth attached to Gu Duan's ear was just an inch away from the face, just a little more and they would kiss.

So the person in front was reporting, the person below was carefully translating, and Mr Shen, who was sitting in the chief’s seat, was getting more and more gloomy.

The other people didn’t notice, only the secretaries who were close felt that the temperature was getting colder and colder. The few executives who were close, were secretly alarmed, was it that the program was really too bad this time, why did Mr. Shen emit such so low pressure?

......



Just after one of person finished reporting, the people below were organizing the information.

Shen Cheng sat there, his fingertips tapping at the desktop, and the secretary immediately came over and asked, "Mr. Shen."

In front of him was a glass of water, but just now, the water in the glass unknowingly finished by Shen Cheng and he gave a faint glance.

The secretary understood: "I'll go and pour you a new cup of water.”

Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows indifferently, "Then who will do the minutes?"

There were still people on the screen reporting on their work, and indeed the minutes couldn’t be left unattended.

The secretary was a little hesitant, and just as he was wondering, Shen Cheng said in a faint voice: "Let someone else do the pouring."

Others?

But was there anyone here who was idle and didn't have to attend the meeting?

The secretary hesitated and scanned the conference room, and his eyes met Jian Shiwu. This meeting is just a report from country M. Most of it Gu Duan can do it himself, and he doesn't really need an interpreter, so Jian Shiwu sat there with nothing to do.

The secretary gave a mysterious smile and waved at Jian Shiwu.

So, the whole conference room turned back in unison, all looking at Jian Shiwu, who was still unsure of what to do, stood up and pointed at himself in confusion.

The secretary nodded his head and waited for him to come over and then whispered, "Could you please go outside and pour a glass of water?"

So it was such a small matter!

Jian Shiwu nodded yes!

The man was sitting there, lazily playing with the electronic pen in his hand, only glancing at Jian Shiwu before turning his face away and looking at the big screen, as if he really didn't know him well.

Jian Shiwu kicked him inwardly and meekly took the cup and left.

When he came back and put the water on the table, the international conference was almost over, and the PPT presentator had to be changed. The Head of department came up to present. The manager took the electronic pen next to the president and switched it to his PPT before he Started reporting, but found that the electronic control pen actually failed.

After pressing a few times, the page did not move.

He looked at his secretary in confusion.

The secretary was also puzzled: "The electronic pen is broken?"

That would mean the speaker couldn’t use the pen to control the PPT in time. Crossing a few step to the computer in front of the desk to click on it would greatly reduce efficiency.

It was strange, their company equipment was regularly checked by someone, how could it suddenly say be broken?

The secretary looked at Shen Cheng with some difficulty: "Mr. Shen, the pen is broken, it seems that they can only go to operate it manually, it will take a while for the personnel to come over, why don't we let them start first?"

Sitting in his chair, Shen Cheng lifted his eyes: "Manual operation?"

The secretary nodded his head.

Shen Cheng flicked his thin lips, "Find someone to sit here and do the slides."

The secretary froze, that was an idea, if someone was here to help with the slidss, it would indeed save time and save the person speaking earlier from having to go back and forth, but... who to get to do this idle work?

Shen Cheng lifted his eyes and his gaze fell on Jian Shiwu who had just returned from pouring water.

...?

Jian Shiwu listened for awhile and pointed at himself in confusion, "Shall I do it?"

Looking at the teenager in front of him, with red lips and white teeth, extraordinarily beautiful, the secretary smiled a little embarrassed: "You are a trainee, right, can we trouble you for a moment?"

It was fine.

Jian Shiwu was a little hesitant: "But I am a translator..."

The secretary quickly said, "It's okay, I'll just send a copy of the minutes to Master Duan later, and besides, now that the ministry has divided the PPT presentation, the translation workload is much less."

Jian Shiwu was persuaded and he nodded his head, "Then it’s fine."

Because Shen Cheng was sitting at the head of the table, the computer used for presentation in front was very close to him, and Jian Shiwu scanned around, a little confused: "Umm where do I sit?"

If he sat at the front, wouldn't that block people's view?

This time, instead of the secretary replying to him, Shen Cheng, who had not spoken up next to him, said, "Bring your little bench."

Jian Shiwu stared at him with wide eyes.

Then he saw Shen Cheng lift his head, those dark eyes looking straight at him, his voice low and magnetic: "Sit next to me."
