Chapter 29: The Reception
Looking at the few forms on the table, Lu Kaiwen was a little distracted.
Su Qing completed the value evaluation report of all personnel in the two departments. Although this data is not considered for final negotiations, it is quite a convincing data report in terms of the report itself. Lu Kaiwen had to admit that Su Qing gave him a report, an unexpected surprise.
A recent college graduate can grasp the core of assets so accurately, and what is especially commendable is her super insight. Kevin Lu can't imagine that she has no experience in asset appraisal, what kind of power is still contained in her thin body?
Su Qing was called in by Lu Kaiwen, and she still maintained her consistent attitude. Neither humble nor arrogant.
"Su Qing, have you participated in asset appraisal before?" For the first time, Kevin Lu no longer buried his head.
"Mr. Lu, I just graduated. Lingyun Company was my first job. Su Qing lied.
"So I can understand that you are a genius in this area?" Lu Kaiwen's tone was mocking again.
"Mr. Lu, please don't use this sarcastic tone. That's what I studied, and besides, I didn't do anything. Su Qing faced this young man who was not much older than herself but played an old-fashioned role, and she couldn't help but have a seizure.
"Really? I admit your profession, but to be able to turn human resources into an asset model, and can be extended into an asset system, this requires not only professional knowledge, but also a lot of advanced Western management concepts. What's more, only those who have participated in the practice will get to the heart of the system. If you haven't been involved in any of these practices, then I can consider you a genius in this area? Lu Kaiwen seemed to be deliberately provoking this subordinate.
"You...... Whatever you want. Su Qing gave up rebuttal, she didn't want her lies to be exposed. She didn't dare to challenge the other party's sharpness.
"Well, I'm very satisfied with the report you made. I called you here to tell you that there was a cocktail party in the evening. I invite you to participate. Kevin Lu smiled, very warm.
"I'm not available." Su Qing replied without thinking.
Kevin Lu frowned.
"It's your job, don't tell me that after work is your time at your disposal. Not this time. Kevin Lu made a decision very arbitrarily.
"You...... I can't go, I don't have clothes for the party. Su Qing fought again, this time the reason was more like a trick.
Lu Kaiwen was not angry, he just looked each other up and down with interest.
Su Qing was looked at a little unnaturally, this was the first time that Mr. Lu looked at himself so unscrupulously.
"Can you learn to respect your subordinates? I'm still an alien. Su Qing muttered softly.
"Yes, it's beautiful. It's good that you're doing it now. It's just a drinking party, whatever you dress, as long as it's decent. Lu Kaiwen's tone was very relaxed.
"Mr. Lu, let me remind you that this is S City, as long as you participate in the cocktail party, you must be solemn. This is the practice of the city of S. Su Qing's tone was full of disdain for Mr. Lu.
"Hehe, it's a pity that I'm not from S City. I will also discern what is decent, and I know what is pleasing to the eye. Lu Kaiwen's tone was very flat.
Su Qing's face flushed slightly, she should be proud to be praised in person like this, but the flatness of the other party's tone made her unable to express her gratitude.
"Don't you have a better fit?" Su Qing was still tentative.
"I said, it's work." Lu Kaiwen seemed to be a little impatient.
Su Qing stopped talking. She turned around and wanted to leave, facing this hot and cold boss, she really didn't know what would happen in the next second.
"By the way, it's best to pay attention to this cocktail party, I also invited Ning Feiyang." Lu Kaiwen's voice floated from behind, and for some reason, he directly said Ning Feiyang's name.
Su Qing paused, she seemed to realize something, and turned around.
"Mr. Lu, what do you mean?" She asked, but her voice trembled.
"Do I mean anything else?" Lu Kaiwen stared at Su Qing, and his tone changed to mockery.
"You...... You'd better mean nothing else. Otherwise. Otherwise......" Su Qing angrily searched for words, but she found that she had no way to find a way to deal with the other party.
"How else? Otherwise you're excited, angry, or whatever. Lu Kaiwen's eyes were full of sarcasm.
"You...... You can't be reasonable. Su Qing's eyes were red and her nose was sour.
"Okay, whatever the hell you're doing, do what you have now. Only when I approve of you can you do what you want. Kevin Lu magically changed back to a concerned tone.
"You...... You ......" Su Qing stammered, she really couldn't find even a word to deal with such a person.
S City is a city that worships fashion, nightlife is a standard to measure different classes, and the upper-class drinking party is a social activity that every S City person yearns for.
Su Qing also had to admit that she came to this kind of event with excitement and apprehension. From time to time to check which part of your body is going wrong, there is always an urge to look in the mirror to check if there is a mistake in each part.
Lu Kaiwen, who was in charge of picking her up, didn't say a word from beginning to end, as if he didn't care who the female companion around him was.
The two didn't say anything all the way. Su Qing was only nervous and excited, and she couldn't care about it anymore.
When the car stopped in the parking lot, Kevin Lu finally said the first sentence.
"Put this on and remember to give it back to me when you go to work." Kevin Lu felt something out of his clothes.
Grabbing it in the palm of her hand, Su Qing felt a burst of coolness.
Shake it off, a string of dazzling brilliance.
A diamond necklace with a heart-shaped sapphire set in the center that shines with a sparkling glow that mirrors the surrounding diamonds.
"It's so expensive, I still don't wear it." Su Qing's tone was full of nervousness.
"You're right, although I'm not from S City, the people here take such things very seriously. Put it on, lend it to you. Remember to give it back to me. Lu Kaiwen seemed a little reluctant.
"Got it. Why are you not a gentleman at all? At this time, Su Qing remembered to confront this boss, and this confrontation made her immediately feel a lot less nervous.
Kevin Lu didn't refute, he just stared at the necklace that the other party was wearing.
The lobby of the business center is full of light, with suits and bejeweled guests talking in twos and threes.
Su Qing was a little at a loss on such an occasion, her nervousness was far more than her excitement. Fortunately, there was Mr. Lu on the side, and she just mechanically cooperated with Mr. Lu. This Mr. Lu seems to often participate in such occasions, and he enjoys it during the shuttle.
Su Qing's nervousness slowly subsided as she gradually got used to it. The compliments that people praise from the bottom of their hearts or from the occasion made her gradually integrate into the occasion.
Su Qing finally became excited, she saw the person she was looking forward to, Ning Feiyang. Then her eyes dimmed, and there was a figure of a lady in her eyes.
"Mr. Ning, you're here. Sister-in-law, you're here too. Lu Kaiwen greeted him from afar. Su Qing had no choice but to follow suit.
"Xiao Lu, you are still so handsome. The? …… Su Qing. Xiao Zhuying recognized it, and soon she was replaced with a surprise.
"Mr. Ning, hello. Madam. Su Qing knew from Mr. Lu's title that this was Ning Feiyang's wife Xiao Zhuying.
"Yes, I'm Xiao Zhuying, come, let me see." Without waiting for Ning Feiyang, who was smiling, to introduce, Xiao Zhuying couldn't wait to grab Su Qing's hand.
Su Qing shuddered, and she suppressed the urge to withdraw her hand.
"Su Qing, I heard that you are Ning Yu's classmate. I've wanted you to come to my house for a long time. You're so pretty, even more beautiful than I ever imagined. Xiao Zhuying was finally able to take a closer look at this girl. At this time, what attracted her the most were the big clear eyes and long eyelashes.
Ning Feiyang and Lu Kaiwen were smiling beside them and admiring all this. Ning Feiyang was genuinely appreciative, and the corners of Lu Kaiwen's mouth always carried a slight imperceptible mockery.
Su Qing has always been by Xiao Zhuying's side like a puppet. She didn't remember what the other person said, only that the other person was surprisingly enthusiastic about her. She could feel that this woman really liked her, but she never got up. There is always a hint of loss and emptiness in my heart. A word that I rarely remember, "mother", has been jumping in my head. This word brought her a faint sourness.
Finally stay up until the end of the cocktail party, can finally say goodbye to the noise, can finally wave goodbye to this enthusiastic lady,
"What's wrong with you, you don't seem to be feeling well." Su Qing was awakened by the sound in her ears.
"Ah, nothing, maybe tired." Su Qing shook her hair, as if she had shaken off a bad dream.
"Let's go, I'll send you back." Kevin Lu didn't ask, and he seemed to be very tired.
The two sat silently in the car, both thinking about their own thoughts.
Su Qing didn't wait for Lu Kaiwen to speak, and stood next to the car and untied the necklace.
"Thank you, this is back to you." Su Qing handed it to Lu Kaiwen through the car window.
Lu Kaiwen grabbed it in his hand and looked at the necklace, with a deep affection in his eyes that made Su Qing curious.
"Mr. Lu, does this chain have a name? It seems that you care about it a lot" Su Qing broke the awkward silence with an inquiry.
“…… I don't know its name, but I gave it a name. A mother's heart. Kevin Lu said softly, his hand gently stroking the necklace.
"A mother's heart." Once again, Su Qing had to encounter this word that she rarely remembered in one night.
