Chapter 33 - 33: Who is the Real Master?
Lu Lingche’s arrival set the whole company stirring.
The female staff took turns marveling at Lu Lingche’s extraordinary handsome face. Add in his unparalleled background, and he almost became everyone’s dream lover in an instant.
However, two people were exceptions, one was Qiao Yin, and the other was the front desk girl, Mei.
Qiao Yin was a bit puzzled: “Mei, why aren’t you excited to see President Lu? Look at them, they’re so excited.”
Mei bit her lip, lowered her voice and said, “I was excited too. But Qiao Yin, when he thought you were the receptionist, he was so rude. He mentioned something about being a receptionist solely based on looks. He’s so sarcastic and superficial. You are clearly very capable, even I, who isn’t in business, knows that Manager Yan always turns to you to solve his problems.”
Qiao Yin laughed: “It doesn’t matter. I’d rather him judge me by my looks.”
“Qiao Yin, you do know President Lu, don’t you?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Did you offend him then? He seems to treat you quite badly.”
Qiao Yin felt a sting in her heart. “Exactly, he’s got such a bad attitude. Yet, it’s him who offended me, and he behaves so arrogantly and haughtily.”
Meanwhile, in the meeting room of Starlight Technology.
Lu Lingche didn’t rush Yan Xing to repair the video, but asked for a list of their employees instead.
After scanning the list, he lifted his head to ask Yan Xing, “Is this employee list complete?”
“Yes, President Lu, it’s the full list.”
“There are two receptionists, why is there only one on the list?”
“Well, President Lu, the other one is Qiao Yin. She’s new and still in probation, so she’s not on our employee list.”
Qiao Yin resigned more than three months ago, and the Starlight Technology employee list had been updated last month, hence, naturally, her name was not on it.
Luckily she resigned or else her name would have been in the senior engineer column and she would have been exposed directly.
He would surely not be foolish enough to spill the beans about Qiao Yin’s real situation. Otherwise, not only would he miss out on earning this money, but would utterly offend Qiao Yin and drive her to a rival company.
How could he possibly risk making such a loss!
For now, he had to keep her secret.
Yan Xing calmly probed him on his relationship with Qiao Yin, “Do you… have any opinions about our receptionist?”
“No.”
Lu Lingche put down the list and took out a USB stick: “Here are some parts of the video I need to repair. Try fixing this part first.”
Yan Xing nodded, plugged the USB into the computer, and began the repair work.
He tried several methods, but the video damage was severe and the visuals were incredibly blurry. It was virtually irreparable. Even if it was Qiao Yin or a deity, he believed the video would be impossible to salvage.
No wonder this cunning businessman first offered a price of eighty thousand and then suddenly upped it to ten million. Turns out, this was a technical problem that defied solutions worldwide!
Lu Lingche, observing the growing sweat on Yan Xing’s forehead, coldly asked, “Manager Yan, you can’t actually repair this video, can you?”
“I can…”
“Bring the person who can really repair the video!”
Yan Xing stammered: “I can repair it. I repaired the last video, President Lu.”
“The last video certainly wasn’t fixed by you, because when I first asked you, you said you weren’t able to, but then suddenly you could. You must have found an expert, and even the one million price tag, wasn’t your idea, it was the video repairer’s. Am I right, Manager Yan?”
Yan Xing was stunned. How did this man guess it all so correctly!
Why such an intelligent man was unaware that his Qiao Yin was that supposed expert?
What to do now? The storyline deviated from what he and Qiao Yin had imagined!
Utterly indifferent, Lu Lingche said: “Yan Xing, I don’t like having to repeat myself. You should know, I can easily put your company out of business..”
