Once the two of them left, Sun Yiqiu widened his eyes and asked Gao Sicong, "Who is this Chairman Chen?"
Gao Sicong was a bit speechless, but he didn't show it, replying indifferently, "Company Name was acquired by him a while ago."
"Then isn't that..."
Gao Sicong nodded, "Yeah, our new boss."
After saying this, Gao Sicong gave a dry laugh and left the printing room as well.
Only Sun Yiqiu remained, still observing the situation inside.
He was from the Fourth Team, so naturally, he was more concerned about the situation inside than Gao Sicong was.
Chen Cheng dismissed Gao Yue and let Meng Yanchen leave as well.
He scanned the office area, didn't see Lan Qianyi, so he turned and continued wandering around aimlessly.
After taking a couple of turns, he arrived at the office terrace.
From afar, he saw Lan Qianyi standing in front of the terrace railing, gazing into the distance to relax.
Company Name's office occupied the top two floors of this office building.
Outside the business department's office area on one floor, there was a large rooftop terrace, which was a favorite spot for people to slack off or smoke.
"Tired?"
Hearing the voice, Lan Qianyi immediately turned around. Upon seeing it was Chen Cheng, an awkward expression appeared on her face.
She had gone to the restroom and come out to get some fresh air, only to be caught by the big boss.
Lan Qianyi's face flushed with shyness, and she said somewhat embarrassedly, "Chairman Chen~"
Chen Cheng looked in the direction Lan Qianyi had been gazing at, not turning to look at her, with the air of an enlightened master. "Why so nervous?"
He chuckled, "Afraid I'll report you for slacking off?"
Lan Qianyi looked embarrassed and felt too shy to retort.
Chen Cheng continued, "When I was an intern, I also liked to slack off."
"I always liked to run off to Central Park halfway through the workday. Once I'd wandered enough, I'd go back to the office and drive home."
Lan Qianyi was intrigued. "You were an intern too?"
Chen Cheng turned to meet her surprised gaze and nodded. "What's so strange about that?"
Lan Qianyi was stunned, speaking softly, "I just didn't expect you..."
Lan Qianyi widened her eyes, momentarily unable to find the right adjective.
"I didn't expect that you had also been an intern."
The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up slightly. "Well, I've done plenty of things."
Seeing her lack of any strange reaction, Chen Cheng knew she didn't yet know he had a 'twin' sister.
Lan Qianyi offered a forced smile. "Hehe~"
Chen Cheng pulled out a business card and handed it to her. "This is my contact information. If you have any difficulties, or any ideas you want to communicate directly with me, you can call me."
Lan Qianyi was still a bit dazed as she took the business card he handed over. Chen Cheng's mouth curled into an ambiguous smile as he continued:
"Of course, for non-work matters, or outside of work hours, that's fine too."
Chen Cheng's eyes glanced at Zhao Hui, who was waiting at the terrace entrance, then he turned back to look at Lan Qianyi.
He smiled, "Go on, work hard."
"Oh~ Okay!"
Lan Qianyi was completely dazed. She smiled, gave Chen Cheng a look, and turned to walk away, still confused.
Seeing Zhao Hui waiting by the edge of the terrace, embarrassment immediately appeared on her face, but she steeled herself and walked over.
"General Manager Zhao~"
Zhao Hui wore a warm smile and nodded. He spoke to Lan Qianyi, "If you have any problems at work, or if you feel wronged, come directly upstairs to find me."
Lan Qianyi was even more confused. If Chen Cheng's words just now had a touch of ambiguity between a young man and woman...
...like saying she could disturb him for non-work matters or outside work hours, which was quite ambiguous...
...then these words from Zhao Hui completely baffled Lan Qianyi.
Me?
An intern, going directly to the General Manager's office to talk about feeling wronged at work?
Although she couldn't figure out the reason, Lan Qianyi still pretended to be calm and nodded. "Mm."
Zhao Hui smiled and walked over to Chen Cheng, who was looking at the scenery.
Lan Qianyi glanced at that tall, straight back, a faint blush appearing on her pretty face, and her heart began to flutter.
Zhao Hui walked to Chen Cheng's side and also looked up at the city scenery on the other side of the river.
Chen Cheng smiled. "The meeting is over."
Zhao Hui nodded. "Mm," he also smiled. "Say, it's surprising that you, the hands-off manager, actually had time to come over."
Chen Cheng leaned back tactically. "Hands-off manager? I don't accept that label."
"I know the company's operating data like the back of my hand."
Zhao Hui had witnessed him finish a report in one minute and then spend another minute annotating it.
This person's reading efficiency was simply heaven-defying.
Even readers of web novels on Huang Tomato might not read as fast as this person reads reports and materials.
Zhao Hui also shook his head. "Did you come over to see that young girl just now?"
Chen Cheng was stunned, almost immediately issuing a triple denial.
It hadn't even started yet, and Zhao Hui already knew.
Really, you barely lift your butt, and he already knows what you're about to do.
He waved his hand. "That's not it. It's just that I haven't been here in a long time, and since I happened to have some free time, I came over to look around."
Zhao Hui chuckled dryly. "Our residential complex isn't that big. I saw you with that young girl from the neighboring building a while ago."
Uh...
Chen Cheng couldn't hold it together; he had almost forgotten that Zhao Hui still lived in Ode to Joy.
However, he wasn't thin-skinned.
Chen Cheng shrugged, didn't deny it, and smiled to change the subject.
"I'm going to America recently. Senior Apprentice Brother, do you want to go with me to see Rui Rui?"
Zhao Hui thought for a moment, pondered, and shook his head. "Forget it~"
"It's the end of the year now. Every project is rushing to push forward, and there's the year-end audit too."
"Let's wait until the New Year. I'll go over to keep her company during the New Year."
Chen Cheng nodded. "Alright then. If there's anything you need to bring, just give it to me when the time comes."
Zhao Hui nodded and asked again, "I heard you ran into Little Meng when you came up?"
"Mm, I didn't expect it either, I was actually quite surprised."
Mentioning Meng Yanchen, Zhao Hui thought of Ouyang and couldn't help but chuckle.
"When Ouyang found out I resigned, she was angry that I gave up the position I'd worked so many years to get, but at the same time, she suggested her nephew come to Company Name."
"The Old Madam is really a bit double-standard."
Chen Cheng turned his head to look at him, a smile curling on his lips. "Why does that sound so sour to me?"
Watching his smug look, Zhao Hui pursed his lips, speechless.
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Since we're on the subject, do you have anything else later? If not, want to go see Teacher?"
Zhao Hui shook his head. "You go. I went last weekend, and the Old Madam was talking about you intentionally or unintentionally."
"Tell me, Ouyang is so indifferent and cold towards Dai Bin."
"But she's especially attentive to you, her student. She even paved the way for you at school."
Chen Cheng's mouth curled slightly. Zhao Hui's words were indeed full of jealousy.
So, watching others get jealous is actually quite a comfortable thing.
As for Dai Bin, the smile on Chen Cheng's face instantly froze. He turned to look at Zhao Hui. "Dai Bin actually isn't Teacher's son."
"What?"
Zhao Hui had a "seen-a-ghost" expression, staring at Chen Cheng with wide eyes.
Chen Cheng nodded. "He was born by Old Dai outside, and later brought back for Teacher to raise."
"So, for Teacher to be able to treat Dai Bin normally without hurling abuse at him is already very difficult."
Zhao Hui was stunned, swallowing his saliva. This matter truly made his jaw drop.
"How do you know?"
"I asked directly. Teacher didn't hide it either; she told me directly about the grievances, love, and hate between her and Old Dai."
Zhao Hui clicked his tongue. Even if others had any guesses about this matter, they wouldn't ask the person involved directly.
But you, you just asked directly.
Chen Cheng: "That's why Teacher appears indifferent to Dai Bin going to work for Xie Zhiyuan before, and now being arranged into the bank by Su Jianren."
"She neither shows support nor opposition."
Zhao Hui swallowed. "It must have been hard on Teacher."
