Chapter Twenty-Eight: Pickled Pork Belly Pot
At this time, the night has been rolled out of the window, and the sporadic light is lit up in the high-rise buildings.
Because Du Ku wanted to make He Shenge happier, he accompanied her to drink, but the amount of alcohol was insufficient, and he soon turned red-faced, Xu Qing had no choice but to drive him back in his car, and when the time came, he would take the subway back.
He Shenge was not very drunk, he was still quite conscious, so he cleaned up the table, during which he found that his neck was a little itchy, he looked in the mirror and found that his seafood allergy came again, took medicine, and watched TV alone in the living room, waiting for Xu Qing to come back.
An Indian movie was playing on the TV, and she stared at the screen for a long time.
Later, she felt heavy on her eyelids and fell asleep.
When the sky was gray, she woke up and found that Xu Qing had not returned home, so she quickly called Xu Qing.
Xu Qing answered the phone, and there was panic in his voice: "Shen Ge, why did you call me so early?"
"Xu Qing, why haven't you come back yet? It's dawn. ”
"After I sent Kutou home, I met a friend, and I went to my friend's house for a while, because I hadn't seen him for a long time, I chatted, I didn't pay attention to the time, I missed the subway, and I simply fell asleep at my friend's place, and then I, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, so I'm worried. ”
"It's good that you're okay. ”
Suddenly, there was some noise on the other end of the phone, and Xu Qing immediately hung up the phone.
He Shenge didn't think too much, got up and took a shower, and prepared to go to work.
When they arrived at the studio, they didn't fight as they usually did, but sat down at their workstations.
As soon as He Shenge sat down in his place, Ling Xiaoyue leaned over and said, "I heard that there is a morning meeting today." ”
"Oh. ”
At nine o'clock, everyone consciously stood in two rows in front of Gu Lance's office, and Gu Lance came out with documents in his hand.
The tired look on his face became heavier, and he said succinctly: "The company has recently taken on a big project, and the department will divide a group of people to follow up on this project, and the rest of the people will follow up on other projects. ”
Gu Qi's voice was raised, and his voice was clear and fast: "Du Ku, Liang Xiaohu, Li Jiahui, He Li, Xiao Ke, Xu Qing, He Shenge, plus the special food editor Rose, I will follow this project personally, and the rest of the projects will be followed up by the deputy editor Qin Lai, and the meeting will be dismissed." ”
As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen eyes brushed on He Shenge, but none of them dared to say a word, and those who were not named left quietly, and those who were named followed Gu Qi into the conference room.
Gu Lance sat down in the black swivel chair and said nothing, waiting for everyone to sit down before he spoke: "This project is carried out in secret, and everyone here must sign a confidentiality agreement. ”
The assistant next to him put the agreement in everyone's hands one by one, except for Rose's absence, everyone carefully reviewed the agreement, and signed it, because the requirements in it are not excessive, this is a food travel project, as long as you participate in this project, you can enjoy free food and drink, and you can get commissions and grade points afterwards, but you need to keep your mouth shut, and there are no other requirements.
After signing, everyone didn't speak, just quietly waited for Gu Lance to announce the next work arrangement.
Gu Lance succinctly announced: "Du Ku is responsible for the post-production video recording, Liang Xiaohu is responsible for the photography of the beautiful scenery and food, Li Jiahui contacted Rose to write the copywriting of this project during this time, intern He Shenge cooperated and studied from the side, Xiao Ke was responsible for the route, transportation, safety, insurance and contact with food, housing and transportation in Chengdu, and the money was asked by He Li, He Li counted all the expenses and clothing, strictly guarded the funds, and maintained close contact with the investor." ”
He paused, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of Xu Qing, who was sitting at the end of the long table of the conference, a little absent-minded, and his face was a little bad.
"Xu Qing. He called out to her.
Xu Qing didn't seem to hear it, and stared blankly at the confidentiality agreement on the desktop.
Gu Lance knocked on the table a few times with his hand, and his voice was a few decibels, looking stunned: "Xu Qing!"
"Gu Da, you say. Xu Qing came back to his senses and looked at Gu Lance.
"In view of Rose's temporary affairs, he can't go with us, the food anchor needs a woman with a good temperament and a good image, I discussed it with Reson, you are an art student, and your temperament can keep up, and I decided to use you as a food anchor, it depends on your wishes, after all, this is your right, if this project is successful, you may become a public figure, and your life may be restricted. ”
Xu Qing glanced at Du Ku inexplicably, and then retracted it in a hurry.
The conference room was quiet for a moment, Gu Yan's eyebrows showed a thick tiredness, he felt a little dry and itchy in his throat, and couldn't help coughing a few times: "If you don't want to, change another one." ”
"Why don't you use Shen Ge?" Xu Qing remembered that He Shen Ge was a food blogger, so he was the same person as Rose who was originally arranged, so she took the opportunity to push He Shen Ge out.
"No! she's just an intern!" Li Jiahui objected.
Gu Lance glanced at He Shenge lightly and nodded: "First, she is still an intern, not completely a regular employee of our company, the reason why she is involved is that her recent typesetting and manuscript quality are good, and she can occasionally share Jiahui's work, and second, I don't want to fall in love with my girlfriend in the future and accept the judgment of the public." ”
"Gu Da, Xu Qing is just a designer, and she is not a model. Dooku suddenly interjected.
Gu Lance frowned, he sensed the abnormality of Dooku's day.
In most meetings, Dooku is fully supportive of him, and if anyone objects, he will convince this person that Dooku is more like his right-hand man than his assistant.
Today, however, Dooku just sat there, frowning and his hands clenched, as if he was thinking about something very important, especially since he would rise up against his work schedule.
"It's true that she's not a model, so I'm asking for her opinion. Gu Qi's voice became a little hoarse, and he looked at Xu Qing: "If you don't want to, the company will arrange for other people, I recommend you to Reson, because I think this is a good opportunity, and it can't fall into the hands of other departments." ”
Xu Qing hesitated.
"You think about it first, and it's not too late to give me an answer in two days. Gu Lance turned his head to look at Du Ku: "Kutou, what about you, if you think that Xu Qing's model can't be, you can only change it, after all, the director has the final say." ”
Hearing this, Xu Qing's body stiffened, and he was engrossed in listening to Du Ku's reply.
Du Ku secretly glanced at Xu Qing a few times, and said in a seemingly casual tone: "It's more suitable for the anchor to leave this kind of work to professionals." ”
Xu Qing's body relaxed, and the corners of his mouth raised a looming arc.
This scene, He Shenge, who was being observed, saw it at a glance, but he thought in his heart that it might be because of the master-apprentice relationship, so Du Ku helped Xu Qing like this.
After the task was arranged, everyone discussed some things about the project at the meeting, He Shenge had a meeting for the first time, he didn't understand anything, so he could only sit on the sidelines, and quickly record the important content with his mobile phone while listening.
The meeting lasted for about a whole morning, and He Shenge roughly understood that this was a project of the travel agency to lure others to travel to the local area with food as a gimmick, and this project was invested by Harry Group, and also attracted the favor of a media company in the United States.
Before the end of the meeting, Gu Lance said with a serious expression: "This is the second step of the walker towards internationalization, the previous astronomical hot spots have caused great repercussions, this time we must also keep up, if anyone drops the chain, immediately replaced." ”
Everyone was ambitious, as if they were about to fight a very hard battle, and they also drove He Shenge and an intern.
After that, everyone began to prepare, and Gu Li's office was closed all the time.
Li Jiahui was busy contacting Rose, and she didn't have time to take the intern at all, He Shenge and Ling Xiaoyue were like abandoned rag dolls, discarded in a corner.
He Shenge watched Li Jiahui busy spinning around like a spinning top, and she also wanted to help, but Li Jiahui didn't ask her to help, so she was at her workstation, silently searching for information about the city of Chengdu.
"You're fine, as soon as you come up, you'll be with big projects. Ling Xiaoyue seemed to be resentful.
"I'm just learning on the side. ”
"But I didn't even have the opportunity to learn. She pursed her lips, frustrated and angry at the same time.
Two days later, He Shenge heard the people in the company complain about her.
Xu Qing came to her for dinner during the lunch break, and told He Shenge indignantly: "Shenge, let me tell you, don't care too much about other people's opinions, just be yourself." ”
"Huh?" He Shenge was a little confused.
"Gu Da is not biased at all, your typesetting and manuscript are originally better than that Ling Xiaoyue! I watch you eat and sleep every day, and you are always in front of the computer, editing the manuscript all the time. ”
"It's okay, it's true to prove it with strength later. ”
"Are you really okay?" Xu Qing stared at He Shenge's face, trying to see something from her face.
He Shenge smiled: "It's really nothing, it's not the first time I've come out to work, anyway, today is the deadline, aren't you a food anchor?" ”
"Well, after thinking about it, I'd better say yes. ”
"Why did you say yes again? I see you, you should have been reluctant to push me out at first. He Shenge narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.
Xu Qing's heart jumped, and he said hesitantly: "Didn't you say that you want to be a food blogger? ”
He Shenge sneered: "Qingqing, I found that you are becoming more and more narcissistic. ”
"No. Xu Qing picked up his mobile phone: "Don't talk about this, hurry up and order takeout, a new teahouse opened nearby yesterday, I heard that Shen Er Diet specially picked it to open here." ”
"Shen Er's diet. He Shenge was stunned, and suddenly remembered Second Uncle Shen.
"yes, haven't you heard?"
"Yes. ”
"The Mr. Shen you told Kutou before, he appeared at the opening ceremony of this teahouse yesterday. ”
"Well, let's hurry up and place an order, otherwise the lunch break will be over. He Shenge urged.
Xu Qing hurriedly looked through the menu on his phone: "Do you want to eat this, pickled pork belly pot, I heard that it is Chaoshan cuisine, aren't you from Chaoshan?" ”
"The pickles are too sour, and Shen Ge likes to drink Chaoshan's beef balls and seaweed soup. A cold male voice sounded from behind Xu Qing.
Xu Qing turned around and saw a tall man with a cold expression standing in front of her, she felt that this man's appearance looked very handsome and extraordinary, just a little familiar.
The man was followed by two men in suits with briefcases in their hands.
"Shen Ge, I didn't expect us to meet again. Shen Xiuyan swept past Xu Qing and walked straight towards He Shenge, who had a calm face.
Just as his hand was about to reach He Shenge's shoulder, a strong hand with a wheat yellow complexion held Shen Xiuyan's hand.
"Hello, Mr. Shen. Gu Qi walked in front of Shen Xiuyan and deliberately used his tall body to cover He Shenge's figure.
"Hello, Mr. Ku. Shen Xiuyan's face was cold, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.
Gu Qi turned to Xu Qing and said, "Inform everyone involved in the Chengdu food project to gather in the conference room, prepare tea, and the president will come with the people from the United States later." ”
"Good. Xu Qing then remembered that this cold man was Mr. Shen of the Harry Group!
"Mr. Shen, please come with me. Gu Lance turned sideways and completely blocked He Shenge.
Shen Xiuyan glanced behind him a few times, and his tone was just right: "Shen Ge, if you are free at night, can you have a meal together?" Second Uncle's newly opened teahouse, he wants to invite you over to taste new dishes. ”
"Not available. He Shenge directly refused coldly.
Shen Xiuyan was not annoyed, and under the guidance of Gu Li, he entered Gu Li's office.
Subsequently, Li Jiahui came to inform He Shenge: "At the meeting, Mr. Shen of Harry and the account manager from the United States are here." ”
"I heard that the account manager is a woman, a few nights ago, Gu Da personally went to pick her up, and now the president personally picks her up at the hotel, this woman is a big name!" Ling Xiaoyue deliberately raised her voice beside her.
He Shenge did not frown, calmly picked up the things needed at the meeting, and followed Li Jiahui to the conference room to prepare.
