Chapter 39 The workplace is like a harem, participate in a design competition
Chinese Lu Jingci came to He Chuze's company, and she learned yesterday that Jinrong's address was in the same building as Lu's company.
The front desk notified the president's office, and He Chuze's secretary came soon.
"Miss Lu, you come with me." The secretary said.
"Okay." The secretary took her to He Chuze's office, the secretary knocked on the door, and He Chuze's voice came from inside, so he opened the door and left.
He Chuze raised his head and saw that she was coming, and immediately smiled
"Jing Ci, you're here!"
"Well, didn't bother you, did you?" Lu Jing porcelain Waner Road. He stood up, got up, walked over to her, and said
"No, let's go, I'll take you to get to know everyone."
"yes, okay." He Chuze took Lu Jingci to the design department, and the style of the design department was completely different from the decoration style seen along the way, which looked very casual and even messy, but it made people feel very relaxed.
He clapped his hands, slapping them to get everyone's attention before he spoke
"Everyone, let me introduce you to a new member of our team, that is, a few days ago, Helen Lu, who suddenly became popular in Europe and the United States, everyone should have seen her products on major platforms, right? Alright, Helen, say hello to everyone! ”
"Hello everyone, I'm Helen Lu." Lu Jing porcelain friendly Wan Erdao.
"Welcome...... You are welcome to join us...... Welcome ......" the crowd applauded.
"Thank you!"
"Helen, that's your office." He Chuze pointed to an office inside.
Lu Jingci nodded and said
"Okay, I'll just familiarize myself with it, and you can get busy."
"Okay." He nodded, then turned to leave. As soon as He Chuze left, everyone else gathered around, gossiping curiously.
"Helen, I heard Secretary Zhang say that you have a good relationship with Mr. He, is it true?"
"Helen, Helen, are you in a relationship with Mr. He?"
"Helen, I also heard Secretary Zhang say that Mr. He deliberately went to the United States to find you to come to our company, is it true?"
"......" Lu Jingci was a little overwhelmed by everyone's enthusiasm, and she suspected that she was not in the design department, but in the gossip department.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled a little awkwardly but politely
"Everybody...... Maybe it's a misunderstanding, Mr. He and I are just friends. ”
"Oh...... Friends! When everyone heard this, they all nodded knowingly, as if they didn't understand, but the eyes that looked at her didn't seem to be like this......
"What are you doing? Helen has just arrived, you are so enthusiastic, be careful to scare her. At this moment, a woman's voice sounded outside the crowd, and when everyone heard her voice, they immediately dispersed.
As soon as the crowd dispersed, Lu Jingci saw the person standing not far away, the woman was smartly dressed, wearing a black suit, red lips, big wavy curly hair, and a strong aura.
"Sister Gao Shan......" As soon as she saw her coming, everyone called her and returned to their positions.
She swept through the crowd before walking towards Lu Jingci. Her red lips hooked and she stretched out her hand towards Lu Jingci
"Hello, my name is Gao Shan, and I am the director of this department." Lu Jingci could feel that the other party was not good, but he still shook hands with her
"Hello, I'm Helen."
"You can call me Director Gao, or you can call me Sister Gao Shan like them, but we should be about the same age, and it's not appropriate to call me sister. Our design department is very casual, you don't have to be too nervous, just be casual. She said.
"Okay, got it, Director Gao." Lu Jingci nodded.
"Then you are free, I'm going to get busy." She said, turning to leave. When she walked away, someone surrounded her and said
"Helen, let me tell you, you'd better be careful with Sister Gao Shan in the future." Lu Jingci asked puzzled
"What's wrong? Why? ”
"Let me tell you, Sister Gao Shan likes Mr. He, but she has never been able to catch up with Mr. He, you have such a good relationship with Mr. He, and now that you are in her territory, she will definitely be jealous of you and stumble on you, you have to be careful." One of them whispered.
"Not really, right?" Lu Jingci twisted his eyebrows and said in disbelief. Seeing that she did not believe her, the man continued
"Really, she has forced away a few people who seem to be interesting to Mr. He, she belongs to the kind of person who would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let go of one, and you are so obvious, it is only a matter of time before she attacks you." Lu Jingci thought slightly when he heard this, and then nodded with a smile
"Okay, thank you for the reminder."
"You're welcome!" Lu Jingci came to his office, it was very clean, and it looked like it had just been cleaned.
She put her things down, took out her sketchbook, and continued the half-drawn drawings in the sketchbook. After a while, there was a knock on the door, and she answered
"Come in", a girl in her early twenties came in, bowed slightly at her, and said
"Teacher Helen, I am Sister Gao Shan's assistant to you, my name is Xiao Xiao." She didn't ask for an assistant, but Gao Shan made her own decisions and assigned her one, she remembered the words of the colleague just now, but the girl in front of her looked quite honest, and for a while she couldn't figure out what Gao Shan meant.
There was silence for a moment, then he smiled and nodded
"Oh hello! We're going to be working together in the future, so please take care of it! ”
"You too!" Xiao Xiao bowed his head with some sincere fear. Lu Jingci saw that she stood for a while, but she didn't speak, so she couldn't help asking
"Is there anything else you can do?" Hearing this, Xiao Xiao was a little at a loss and said
"That...... Is there anything you need me to do? Lu Jingci thought for a while and said
"Not for the time being, you go out first, I'll call you if necessary." Hearing this, Xiao Xiao nodded a little disappointed and responded
"Oh, good." After she went out, Lu Jingci retracted her gaze, and she didn't dare to use it before she figured out what Gao Shan had in mind when she called her, although she didn't know if what they told her was true, but now it was better to be on guard.
She let out a long sigh of relief, she had only been in the workplace for less than an hour, how did she feel as if she had stepped into the harem of the palace's scheming, it seemed that this workplace was not as easy to mix as she thought.
After a while, someone knocked on the door again, and the person who came in was Xiao Xiao again, who looked a little frightened, and said
"Teacher Helen, Sister Gao Shan asked you to come over to her."
"Call me over?" Lu Jingci frowned slightly, then nodded, closed the sketchbook, and said,
"Okay, I'll go over here." Lu Jingci came to the door of Gao Shan's office, Xiao Xiao also came after her, she knocked on the door, heard Gao Shan answer, and then pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing her, Gao Shan smiled slightly
"Helen, here we are! Are you still used to the atmosphere here? ”
"Well, that's good." Lu Jingci nodded, paused for a moment, and then continued to speak,
"Director Gao, is there something you are looking for me to come over?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I just saw Xiao Xiao alone outside, I want to ask you, don't you like the assistant I gave you? If you don't like the assistant, I can let you choose one. She said in a relaxed manner, although her tone was very friendly, Lu Jingci could clearly feel that Xiao Xiao on the side was trembling as soon as he entered here.
She didn't know what Gao Shan had done to Xiao Xiao, which would make her so afraid of her, but she thought that if she didn't want this Xiao Xiao, whether she chose it herself or Gao Shan helped her choose a new one, it might not be good, after all, she came for the first time today, and she was not familiar with the place, so naturally she didn't have a lot of connections with Gao Shan, who had been here for a long time.
Although this Xiao Xiao always looks timid, he looks quite honest and introverted, but maybe it's not a bad thing.
She smiled
"No, I don't dislike it, it's just that there is nothing Xiao Xiao needs to do." Hearing this, Gao Shan smiled
"Oh, that's it, it's good if you don't like it. Xiao Xiao, you have to listen to Helen's words carefully, be smart, do you hear? ”
"Well, yes, I heard you." Xiao Xiao hurriedly replied. Lu Jing porcelain road
"Then there's nothing else, I'll go first."
"Well, go ahead." She nodded. As soon as he opened Gao Shan's door, Lu Jingci saw the people outside who were originally looking here, and they hurriedly twisted their heads back, and when they realized that Gao Shan did not come out, they were relieved one by one.
She closed the door of Gao Shan's office, and immediately someone stepped forward to ask
"Helen, why did Sister Gao Shan call you over just now?" Hearing this, Lu Jingci smiled slightly
"No, it's just asking me if I'm used to the design department."
"Oh...... So......" Seeing that there was no topic they cared about, the crowd dispersed. Back in his office, Lu Jingci looked at Xiao Xiao in front of him with his head down, was silent for a moment, and said with a smile
"You don't have to be so nervous in front of me, I won't do anything to you." Hearing this, Xiao Xiao cautiously raised his head to look at her, seeing that he was smiling, there was no birthday, and then he began to slowly relax.
"I didn't need an assistant before." Lu Jingci said, and before he could say the next sentence, he saw that Xiao Xiao's spirit was tense again, as if he was afraid that she would not want her.
She said helplessly
"Don't be nervous, I didn't say I didn't want you. I'm just going to say that I'm used to doing everything myself, but now that I have an assistant, I'll still give you some of the simpler things, but not too much, and you don't have to feel too much pressure to work under me. Hearing this, Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded
"Oh, okay."
"So, go and give me a copy of the Greek mythology first!" Lu Jingci thought for a while and said.
Finally having a task, she looked a little more energetic, and nodded
"Okay, I'll go now." She smiled slightly
"Well, go ahead." …… In the office of the president of Huasheng, Chen Yu knocked on the door, and when he heard Fu Shaoting answer, he pushed the door and walked in.
He walked to Fu Shaoting's table, bowed slightly, and said
"President, the domestic design competition is about to start, and the design department wants to ask which designer will be selected to represent our company this year, whether to continue to use the previous designer, or to choose a new one?" Hearing this, Fu Shaoting, who was immersed in writing, raised his head slightly and said
"Is there a suitable candidate for the design department?"
"Yes." Chen Yu said, put a document on his desk, and said,
"President, this designer named Eddie is a new designer last year, and this summer's products are designed by her." Hearing this, Fu Shaoting nodded with impression
"Product sales this summer have increased by four percentage points compared to previous years."
"There is also Li Sen, who is the designer who represented our company in the competition the year before last, and he was the main designer of the products this spring, and the sales at that time were also very good." Chen Yu continued,
"President, which one do you want to choose?" Fu Shaoting looked at the two documents, thinking, Chen Yu was waiting for his answer, and suddenly he thought of something, and said
"By the way, president, I heard that Jinrong has come to a cutting-edge designer who is currently very popular in Europe and the United States in the past two days." Hearing this, Fu Shaoting raised his eyes and looked at him, and seeing that he was interested, Chen Yu continued
"I inquired, the designer's name is Helen Lu, who stood out by an absolute margin in an online voting design competition last year, and the products she designed are hot in Europe and the United States, with a bold but exquisite style, and they will be sold out almost as soon as they are listed." He was silent for a moment before he spoke
"I think it's very likely that Jinrong will send her to the competition this time." When Fu Shaoting heard this, he pursed his lips thoughtfully.
"President, Jin Rong has been our strongest competitor for the past two years, and I think this year's competition will be more fierce than ever." He said.
Fu Shaoting raised his head and looked at him and said
"What do you want to say?" Seeing that he didn't look unhappy, Chen Yu hesitated for a moment before he said
"I think...... Eddie may be able to compete with that Helen Lu, Eddie is also famous for competitions, and the products she designs are also loved by young girls now, and she also has a certain reputation in China, maybe in this competition, she can beat Helen Lu. After he finished speaking, seeing that Fu Shaoting did not speak, he hurriedly said again
"Uh...... Actually, I'm just saying my opinion, president, don't pay too much attention to it. ”
"It's okay, what you said is not unreasonable." Fu Shaoting said, he thought for a moment, and said,
"Inform me, let Eddie represent our company this time, and let her prepare well." Seeing that his proposal was adopted, Chen Yu was overjoyed and nodded
"Yes!" …… At night, Lu Jingci came to the parking lot, and as soon as she took out the key, she saw He Chuze leaning next to her car.
She was shocked
"Hatsuzawa, why are you here?"
"I'm waiting for you!" He laughed.
"Wait for me?" She frowned in confusion. He walked over to her, took the car keys from her hand, and said
"Get in the car, I'll invite you to dinner, you've been working all day, are you hungry?" Lu Jingci didn't refuse, just smiled
"Invite me to dinner every day, and you are not afraid of being eaten poor by me."
"I would like to be eaten poor by you, provided that you can eat poor me." He said with a smile and helped her open the car door.
Lu Jingci got into the car, He Chuze closed the car door, went around to the other side to get in the car, and drove away. In the car not far away, someone watched all the interactions they had just had and tightened their sense of direction.
In a restaurant, the waiter brought the steak and left. He Chuze said
"The steak at this restaurant tastes delicious, you taste it." Lu Jingci cut the steak, raised his eyes to look at him, and said with a smile
"How do you feel like you're more of a local than I am, and you know more than I do." He Chuze said with a smile
"This is all collected when I was a doctor in the imperial capital, and I haven't taken you to many places, so I will take you all over the place in the future."
"Okay." She didn't refuse, smiled and nodded. The two of them were about to eat to their heart's content, He Chuze said
"Jingci, after a while, the biennial domestic design competition is about to start, I want you to represent our company to participate in this competition, are you interested?" Hearing this, Lu Jingci put down the half-drunk wine and said
"Huh? Do you want me to participate? ”
"Hmm." He nodded. She frowned and said
"I've just arrived, so I'm going to go on behalf of the company, wouldn't it be good?" He Chuze put down the knife and fork and said with a serious expression
"The design department is a place that relies on strength, not on qualifications. And I also want to take this opportunity to open up your popularity in China, although you were very famous in Europe and the United States, but not many people in China know you, they may be wearing your design jewelry, but they don't know that the designer is you, just know the manufacturer's brand, just take this opportunity to open your popularity, but also bring more benefits to our company. Lu Jingci listened to his words and nodded thoughtfully
"Hmm...... What you say makes sense, and in that case, I'll give it a try. Seeing that she agreed, He Chuze smiled
"Well, that's it." She nodded
"Well, sure enough, the way of thinking of the person who became the president is completely different, if you don't say it, no one will guess that you were a doctor before."
"The two professions, the way of thinking is naturally different, I am a businessman now, so I naturally have to use the way of thinking of a businessman." He smiled and shook his head.
"Sharp words, right?" She laughed. He Chuze raised his eyebrows with a smile and said
"Eat." The next day, the news that Lu Jingci was going to represent Jinrong in this year's design competition spread in the design department.
As soon as Lu Jingci entered the design department, someone immediately came up to say hello
"Helen, congratulations on representing our company in a design competition!"
"Yes, congratulations! Just came, and was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, it seems that Mr. Lu really likes you very much! Lu Jingci thought to herself that He Chuze's movements were really fast enough, she just agreed last night, and today she will be known to everyone.
"Thank you." Lu Jingci said, and then walked out of the crowd. When she returned to the office, her ass was still hot, and Xiao Xiao came to tell her that Gao Shan asked her to come over.
It was probably related to the fact that she was going to participate in a design competition, so she put down what she was doing and passed.
"Director Gao, are you looking for me?"
"Helen, sit." She smiled. Lu Jingci did not refuse, sat down on the chair opposite her, and listened to her when he sat down
"Helen, you already know that you're the one who will represent the company in the design competition this year, right?"
"yes, I know." She nodded.
"You just came, and you were entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and it can be seen that Mr. Lu values you very much, but you don't need to feel too much pressure, you just need to prepare well and face the game with a relaxed heart." She said, smiling kindly.
Lu Jingci also smiled
"Okay, thank you, Director Gao."
"Well, you don't have to deal with anything else, I'll arrange for someone else to do it, you just have to focus on the game." She said,
"If there is anything that you can't do, just tell Xiao Xiao to do it, her assistant is here to help you reduce your burden, you just have to use it boldly."
"Well, okay, I got it." Lu Jingci nodded and stood up,
"Then I'll go back to work first."
"Okay, let's go." Gao Shan hooked her lips and said. Watching Lu Jingci leave the office, the smile on her face slowly retreated, and a pair of Danfeng eyes seemed to hide something.
…… A week later, the design competition came as scheduled, and every year the competition would be broadcast on the Internet, and the stage had already been set up in the studio, the lighting had been designed, and a number of cameras had been set up, and the scene was very grand.
Lu Jingci was already backstage at this time, and He Chuze accompanied her and waited for the recording half an hour later.
She had never recorded a game like this, and the whole person was a little nervous, He Chuze could also see her nervousness, and opened his mouth to help her relieve her nervousness
"Jing Ci, you don't have to be nervous, I will accompany you in today's recording." Hearing this, she nodded slightly
"Hmm." He explained to her what the recording would be later, and said
"Today is the opening ceremony, so there won't be too much stuff, the main thing is to introduce this year's designers to the audience and the judges, and announce the first design theme, and there will be a VCR of your introduction when it's your turn later, you just need to say hello."
"Hmm." She nodded. Seeing that she was still a little nervous, He Chuze couldn't help but smile, touched her head, and said
"Don't be nervous, it's not like I'm asking you to perform on stage and sing and dance, just go up and say hello to people, it's just nothing, there's nothing to be nervous about, and I'll always be with you offstage." Seeing that he had been comforting himself, Lu Jingci suddenly became less nervous and said with a smile
"Well, it's fine, being a little nervous isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's the same as the exam."
"Okay, if you say it's not a bad thing, it's not a bad thing." He looked at her dotingly and said. Seeing the doting in his eyes, Lu Jingci smiled faintly, and then raised his hand to comb his hair, cutting off his sight.
Half an hour soon arrived, and Lu Jingci was taken backstage by the staff, along with other designers, waiting for a while to go on stage.
He Chuze went to the pre-arranged position in the audience and sat down. The on-site director gave an order, the recording of the game officially began, and the host began to take the stage.
He Chuze sat on the stage, waiting for Lu Jingci to come out. At this time, a person sat down next to him, he subconsciously looked over, and saw Fu Shaoting sitting down next to him.
Fu Shaoting also saw that the person next to him was him, his brows frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything. The corners of He Chuze's mouth lifted and he took the initiative to speak
"Mr. Fu, what a coincidence!" Cat flutter Chinese
