Chapter 52: Helping Others and Helping Yourself

The next day, Shang Xiaoshu finished his work at hand, saw that the time was close to lunchtime, went into the chairman's office to say hello to the big boss, and went directly to Chen Jiayi's office.

Before leaving the 30th floor, Shang Xiaoshu specially explained to Xiao Zhou, the driver and secretary of the big boss, and called the front desk administration, she had some things in the afternoon, she was not in the office, and she had asked the big boss for leave, if there was something or someone was looking for, please call her directly.

When I arrived at the finance department on the 29th floor, before the end of work at noon, everyone was still busy sitting in their seats.

Shang Xiaoshu saluted like this and went straight to the innermost manager's room. Seeing that Chen Jiayi was buried in a pile of reports, holding a pen in his left hand and pressing the calculator with his right hand, he heard a knock on the door, raised his head, and saw that it was Shang Xiaoshu, and only bowed his head to signal the sofa next to him, and his hand movements did not stop at all.

Shang Xiaoshu walked to the side by herself, didn't sit down, leaned behind the sofa and looked at Chen Jiayi's office, where she didn't come often. If there is something, Chen Jiayi usually goes to the 30th floor to find her. The 30th floor is a big place with few people, quiet and convenient for talking.

Chen Jiayi's office is the standard manager's office of the group, square, forty or fifty square meters, sitting west and facing east, and a large window on the south side, which can overlook the style on both sides of the Shen River. A desk that is not too big or small, and behind it is a bookcase that fills a wall. Near the opposite wall is a three-person couch, a single sofa on the left and right, and a standard wooden coffee table in the middle.

The furnishings of the other manager's rooms are basically the same, and it is said that at the beginning of the design, a feng shui master was invited to give the layout. There must be a wall behind it, the thicker the better, and there is a backer behind it to sit steadily. Every manager is the head of the department, and if they are smooth, the company will be smooth.

The furniture and appliances are all uniformly configured, and the only difference is probably the furnishings in the respective desktops and bookcases. In the corner of Chen Jiayi's desktop is a cute beckoning cat, golden and shining. The other desktops were piled up with thick or thin documents, and she had never seen her so messy here before, Shang Xiaoshu could only guess that Chen Jiayi had been too busy recently.

In the bookcase behind it are two striking photographs. One is Chen Jiayi, who is wearing a skirt, holding his son, who is only one or two years old, smiling brightly, looking at which children's playground the background should have been taken when playing. There is another one, which was obviously taken by a professional photographer, and it is a family photo of the Chen family.

In order to see this photo clearly, Shang Xiaoshu deliberately walked behind Chen Jiayi, observed closely, and looked at it carefully, the photo was indeed carefully retouched. I'm afraid that there are stylists, and everyone's clothing and expressions have been guided by professionals. Unified traditional Chinese red costumes, men's Tang costumes, women's Tang costumes and cheongsams, children wear like fortune boys in New Year's paintings. Just in front of the hall of the Chen family's old house, the old man Chen and Mrs. Chen sat in the middle, the big boss and the proprietress of the big boss, Chen Sancheng and his wife sat on both sides, and Chen Sancheng's two little daughters sat cross-legged in the front place. In the middle of the back row stood Chen Jianing, Chen Jiayi Ding Yuan was holding his son, and Chen Jiabao Molly was holding his daughter, respectively.

Not to mention, the photos taken by professionals are different, the family portrait looks festive and peaceful, and everyone has a happy smile on their faces. Judging from the age of the two children, it should have been taken two or three years ago, and Tongtong is still a baby.

Sure enough, Chen Jiayi's voice came from the side, "This photo was taken on my grandfather's birthday the year before last."

Shang Xiaoshu turned his head, Chen Jiayi was still sitting in the chair, half-turned, and like her, he was also looking at this family photo.

Shang Xiaoshu said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, you asked me to dinner, and asked me to come and wait for you." How do you say you treat your guests? ”

Chen Jiayi glanced at her, "It seems that you are more anxious, urging me every day......"

Seeing that the office door was open, and colleagues from the department could be seen walking around outside the transparent glass, it was really inconvenient to talk about things, so Chen Jiayi endured the complaint about Shang Xiaoshu and handed her the water cup, "Secretary Laoshang, help me pick up a glass of water, I was busy all morning, and I didn't bother to drink saliva." ”

Shang Xiaoshu saw that Chen Jiayi was still in the posture of slumping on the seat, and while taking the water cup to the water dispenser near the door, he responded to Chen Jiayi's previous complaints, "I'm helping someone to help, and I haven't fallen yet, okay?" ”

"Che, are you helping me or yourself?" Chen Jiayi almost said, "With your unprofitable temperament, it's strange to believe you", but I thought that Shang Xiaoshu had really helped her a lot recently, no matter what her purpose was, the help she should give Chen Jiayi was an objective fact.

"I'm helping others to help myself", Shang Xiaoshu readily admitted, "Drink quickly, after drinking, let's go, let's go to the fat sister-in-law to eat stewed goose, we can go to climb the mountain in the afternoon, I haven't been there for a long time."

Chen Jiayi nodded, autumn is high and cool, but it is a good season for mountain climbing.

Seeing that Chen Jiayi was still very tired, Shang Xiaoshu took the initiative to drive his own car and drove Chen Jiayi to Chashan. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the group headquarters, Chen Jiayi explained, "I chatted with Ding Yuan on the phone for a long time last night, and I only slept for two or three hours in the early morning. ”

"Oh, all right?"

Shang Xiaoshu received a text message from Chen Jiayi early in the morning, saying that Ding Yuan called her last night and agreed to divorce, so that she would be busy with work matters recently, and she didn't have to think about going to the court to sue for this kind of matter, and she could go through the divorce procedures when she was free.

"Having said something, Dante Yuan seems to have drunk and is very verbose, and I asked him to have a good interview tonight. Did you guys drink together last night? Ding Yuan said, you even suspect that he wants to blackmail me...... Haha", Chen Jiayi can basically guess how Shang Xiaoshu counted Ding Yuan through Ding Yuan's description.

"Xiaoshu, thank you", Chen Jiayi said softly again after a while.

"Hey, didn't you think I was helping you for myself just now, why did you suddenly thank you now?" Shang Xiaoshu said strangely.

"Thank you for helping Ding Yuan settle this matter", although he hated Ding Yuan, Chen Jiayi didn't want to see Ding Yuan being bullied like this. One yard to one yard, she and Ding Yuan are a matter between them, but outside, Ding Yuan is still in the name of her husband, and she is being calculated together like this, so she is not taken into account at all. It is inconvenient for her to come forward in this matter, especially at this sensitive stage. Now it's up to Shang Xiaoshu to solve it, and he also played a game of killing two birds with one stone, and this favor needs to be recorded.

When Shang Xiaoshu heard Chen Jiayi say this, he knew that Ding Yuan had told Chen Jiayi everything, no wonder Chen Jiayi sent a message early in the morning to ask her for an interview in the afternoon.
