she's not at ease

It's just such a simple process of scanning the code to add, and it's done in an instant.

After finishing all this, Lu Yi picked up the plate in front of her and got up to leave. When she left, she deliberately took another look at Luo Yao.

It's just that Luo Yao couldn't understand the meaning contained in this look.

Chu Ran returned to her seat with the fruits of victory and showed off in front of Luo Yao, and described to the other party how "surprised" Lu Yi was when she heard that she asked for her contact information, and did not realize that the other party's emotions had already occurred changed.

"I've said it all, there's nothing I can't handle by going out myself."

"Just wait until the time comes to add another right-hand assistant!"

Adding WeChat is just the first step.

According to his experience in chasing girls for so many years, a girl like Lu Yi needs to take his time if he wants to catch up with her.

All in all, one sentence: He has confidence in himself.

Luo Yao was not interested in hearing what the other party said here about "picking up girls", and of course he would not believe Chu Ran's deliberate exaggeration.

After a while, she also got up and left.

"You are not allowed to leave." When leaving, Luo Yao did not forget to leave a task for Chu Ran.

With a calm expression, she pointed to the three or four hot dishes on the small table: "You are not allowed to leave until you have finished what you ordered on the table, or I will report you to say that you are wasting food on purpose."

"I eat so much by myself?!" Chu Ran couldn't believe it.

"Anyway, you have a big appetite, and you ordered it yourself." Luo Yao smiled slightly, but this smile was not warm.

——Even wanting to touch the people under her command, isn't that a big appetite?

It turned out that resources across the country were very tight after the flood, and more than one place was affected.

The situation in the capital where they live is not bad. Some small cities are flooded for more than half a month, and some places that were not seriously affected by the disaster have become flood discharge points due to the terrain. Basically gone.

Therefore, we have been advocating to eliminate waste and save food recently.

At the beginning, no one took it seriously. Later, a few typical models were sent to the news hot search, and some red media immediately named and criticized several "big stomach king anchors". After that, people gradually restrained themselves.

Especially if a big company like theirs wants to take the lead and take as much as they eat, there can be no mistakes.

After leaving the cafeteria, Luo Yao stood in the elevator wondering which floor he should go to.

Should I go to the sales department to meet with Lu Yi and talk alone, or go back to the office directly?

Her mood fluctuated, but her hand stretched out involuntarily, trying to press down on the floor where Lu Yi was.

At this moment, an employee trotted up before the elevator closed. Seeing this, Luo Yao quickly withdrew his hand that wanted to press the button.

Reality no longer leaves her time to hesitate.

"Mr. Luo, which floor do you go to, I'll press it for you." The employee asked Luo Yao again after pressing his own.

"Trouble on the 24th floor." Luo Yao reported a number.

Let's go back to our office.

She has no reason to interfere with Lu Yi's own work affairs, not to mention that Chu Ran still approached by "talking about cooperation", and she has no way to stop it.

The relationship between them needs to avoid suspicion as Lu Yi said.

Get out of bed, just boss and subordinate.

In two days, it was the end of the month again.

With the end of November, the third quarter also came to an imperfect end.

There is always a rush at the end of each quarter.

All the departments are sorting out the quarterly reports and preparing them for the regular meeting next week. Zhou Jia sorted out the quarterly sales results of the department members and handed them over to Lu Yi's desk before going out, plus today's summary of the first and second quarters...waiting for her When he came in again, he was holding a layoff list in his hand.

In the sales industry, you will not be treated specially because of how long you have stayed in the company and how hard you have worked hard.

As long as you can't produce performance, the company will not keep you.

Zhou Jia has been with Lu Yi since she joined the company, and she knows her style very well. It seems that a person who is easy to get along with and never puts on airs is never procrastinating at work.

She will notify the dismissed people one by one, and then go to the financial department to receive compensation according to the labor law and leave the company within a week, which is also convenient for the department to recruit new people.

It was a very reasonable thing at first, and I couldn't find any faults in the various procedures.

Can--

"What's wrong?" Hearing the noise outside, Lu Yi had no choice but to walk out of the office.

She glanced around the office area, and dispersed the crowd with one sentence: "You don't have to go to work anymore, do you?"

The employees who looked up to watch the excitement quickly lowered their heads to "pretend" to focus on their work.

Lu Yi's gaze fell on the troublemaker.

"Director, Liao Ting, she..." Zhou Jia walked over to Lu Yi's side, just as she was about to explain to him what happened.

"Director, you told me that day that you wouldn't care about me, and I foolishly believed that you thought you were a generous and good person. Who knew that you had already planned to fire me!" Liao Ting took the conversation away. Go, there is still a little crying in the voice.

The female voice, which became shrill because of anger and unwillingness, penetrated the entire office area, allowing everyone to hear it clearly.

It turned out that there was a girl on the resignation list who happened to be the one who was heard by Lu Yi in the bathroom that day.

"You mean that I deliberately added you to the dismissal list because I heard you spreading rumors about me behind my back? It took Lu Yi a while to realize what the other party was talking about.

To be honest, it's been a while since the incident, and she didn't take it to heart at all.

Even though he knew about Lu Yi's reaction, he was still quite calm.

"Isn't it?" Liao Ting asked loudly.

At this time, Zhou Jia, who was an assistant, finally realized what he should say.

She took a step forward and put her hand between Lu Yi and Liao Ting, persuading her in a good voice: "Liao Ting, the director has a reason to dismiss you. Your sales performance has not improved in the past three quarters this year. According to the company's And stipulated..."

"Don't talk to me about the rules!"

"You are her assistant, of course you speak for her!"

"I'm going to the labor bureau to sue you, and I'm going to the arbitration court. Don't think that you can fire me at will because I don't understand the law. I signed a labor contract with your company!"

Seeing that Lu Yi, the person with the highest position, was silent, Liao Ting's arrogance became even worse.

She took it for granted that Lu Yi was "afraid" of herself, and that she was "reasonable", and she spoke more confidently.

At this moment, the sound of "Deng, Deng" sounded in the quiet office area, and the high-heeled shoes stepped on the ground, just like stepping on the apex of everyone's heart.

Lu Yi almost reflexively looked towards the entrance of the office area, sure enough.

She is so familiar with this voice. Luo Yao likes to wear high heels very much, so she can hear this voice eight out of ten times every time the two meet.

"Why is your sales department so lively?" Luo Yao's slightly surprised voice came from behind, and the person was walking towards this side step by step.

Lu Yi, who was originally planning to solve it by himself, simply put away such thoughts when he saw Luo Yao appearing.

She put her arms around her shoulders and looked at the assistant beside her: "Liao Ting, it just so happens that if you have any dissatisfaction, tell President Luo directly. I believe she understands the righteousness and will not show favoritism in front of so many people." , just tell me what happened in our department."

When the voice fell to the ground, Luo Yao had already walked in front of them.

The two looked at each other briefly.

Liao Ting took Lu Yi's words bluntly: "You think I dare not?"

After finishing speaking, she turned to face Luo Yao, and from her own standpoint, she explained what happened not long ago.

During this period, when Zhou Jia heard that something was wrong, he would quickly correct it.

"That's it, you're just making trouble in the office?" After hearing the basics of the situation, Luo Yao didn't say anything special.

She looked at Liao Ting's resentful face, and confirmed it with others again.

"Yes." Liao Ting nodded affirmatively, "I don't accept dismissal without reason!"

"Then I understand."

Luo Yao raised her eyes, glanced over Lu Yi's face, then took out her mobile phone and made a call.

She clearly caught the meaning of "watching a show" from the other person's eyes. It was obviously a problem for her department, but now it was pushed directly on her head.

Luo Yao was a little upset.

But if this person is Lu Yi, it's not impossible.

The call was connected quickly, and it seemed that Luo Yao's phone number was recognized.

"Hey, there's a person coming up from the security guard downstairs."

"Well, the sales department."

"faster."

Three short sentences fell in the quiet office, and everyone held their breaths and dared not say a word.

Liao Ting was also dumbfounded after listening to it, she didn't expect that the so-called "understand" in Luoyao's mouth turned out to be like this.

Obviously, this is a call to the security department to ask the security to come over and "ask someone to go away".

"Liao Ting, isn't it? This is the company, not a place for you to mess around. It's a normal procedure to fire you. Since your performance is not up to standard, the company won't support idlers."

"After a while, the security guard will accompany you to pack up your things and leave, and the financial side will give you the compensation salary that should be paid."

It is said to be "accompanying", but everyone knows what it actually is.

After explaining, Luo Yao didn't care what Liao Ting's reaction was, she was satisfied.

She turned her head and looked at Lu Yi directly: "Director Lu, I have something to ask you."

…………

Luo Yao came down from the 24th floor on purpose, not just to chat with people.

She came here to have dinner with Lu Yi.

Naturally, this dinner was no ordinary dinner.

"Qin Yan came here to deliver the invitation in person, and I want to meet you by the way."

"You and he haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"

While driving, Luo Yao was distracted talking to Lu Yi.

The place they are going to now is a well-known private kitchen. The chef is from Sichuan. The authentic Sichuan cuisine is full of praise.

Coincidentally, Qin Yan is from Sichuan, but due to work reasons, he rarely has the opportunity to go back to his hometown.

"The last time we met was half a year ago." Lu Yi was in a good mood, and even talked to Luo Yao quite gently, "I almost don't remember what he looks like."

She turned her head to look at the other party: "He called me yesterday and said he wanted to have a meal with me, but he didn't expect to pass you."

"Then I'm in your favor?"

Luo Yao had a smile in his eyes, as if he was not the same person who called the security guard in the office just now.

The atmosphere of the conversation between the two was quite relaxed, and it didn't look like they were going to have a business meal at all.

Strictly speaking, this dinner was really not a business dinner for Lu Yi.

Qin Yan is the eldest son of her master.

The two have known each other for a long time. Qin Tianshun, a master who has been kind to her, is like a second father, so Qin Yan is more like her brother in a sense.

How can Lu Yi be unhappy when her relatives whom she hasn't seen for a long time come to see her?

Luo Yao was also very happy.

Just like what she said... If it wasn't for Qin Yan who wanted to meet Lu Yi, so she came here to send the invitation to Mr. Qin's birthday party in person, she might not be able to get in touch with the core of the Qin Group so quickly based on her current network. figure.

When the two arrived at the restaurant, Qin Yan had already been there for a while, and was sitting at the table flipping through the menu booklet.

Seeing the waiter leading them through the door, he simply greeted them and closed the menu book in his hand.

"I see that you chose a Sichuan restaurant, so you ordered some representative dishes on your own initiative, Luo will not mind?" Qin Yan smiled.

He looked very elegant when he got up, giving people a very gentle feeling.

This is different from what Luo Yao thought. She thought that the eldest son of the Qin Group should be a shrewd businessman.

"Brother Qin, just order, we're very casual." Although Luo Yao was the one who asked, all the people present were acquaintances, so Lu Yi answered directly.

This was a bit beyond Qin Yan's expectation.

He thought that in front of the boss, Lu Yi should be more cautious about the etiquette. If it is not a particularly close relationship, it would be very impolite to "rush to answer for someone else".

Lu Yi has been in the business field for so many years, so she should not be ignorant of this truth.

However, what surprised him even more was that Luo Yao himself didn't care at all. Instead, he responded to Lu Yi's words: "Mr. Qin, Sichuan cuisine, you know better than us. I live abroad all year round, so I can experience one of the eight major cuisines in China." Sichuan cuisine."

"Just do it."

It's just a small detail, but it's also this small detail that made Qin Yan take another look at Luo Yao.

He remained calm and did not point out this detail on purpose. He just turned his head and placed an order directly to the waiter waiting at the side.

"What do you guys want to drink, drink or drink?" The waiter placed the order with a tablet in his hand, and then asked again, "You can check the drink list at the back, there are many types."

At this time, Luo Yao said at the right time: "Boss Qin, I specially brought a bottle of red wine here, how about..."

"Just call me Qin Yan." Qin Yan smiled.

Because of Lu Yi's little move just now, Qin Yan's words did not have that much respect for Luo Yao.

He didn't put on airs, and directly proposed: "Miss Luo, since we have agreed not to discuss business today, why bother to drink again?"

"I just looked at the menu and found that there is tamarind juice here. This is our Sichuan specialty. Miss Luo, Xiaoyi, do you want to try it?"

"Okay then, just drink the drink from your hometown." This time, Luo Yao didn't wait for Lu Yi to speak.

She picked up the water glass in front of her and took a sip. The waiter quickly left the box holding the tablet and let the back kitchen prepare the dishes.

Qin Yan first talked to Lu Yi briefly, then took out a red invitation card from his bag and handed it to Luo Yao.

"I'm here today mainly to send invitations to you, Miss Luo. It's my father's 57th birthday. If you're free, please come and do me a favor."

Qin Yan was very polite and sincere.

On the top of the invitation is a calligraphy written in gold ink, which is not the kind of cheap wholesale goods on the market.

Luo Yao reached out to take it.

"There is also Xiaoyi." Qin Yan's eyes fell on Lu Yi again, and there was too much "hesitating to speak" hidden in his smile, "I don't have your share of the invitation, but you must remember to come, before the old man I've been thinking about you for a few days."

Lu Yi knew what the other party was going to say with just one glance, she said helplessly: "I know, I will go if you don't tell me, have I been absent from Master's birthday in so many years?"

"That's good," Qin Yan nodded in satisfaction, "Brother is afraid that you will forget about it because of your money."

It is well known that Lu Yi loves money.

"Qin...Qin Yan."

"Don't worry, I will book Lu Yi's ticket for her, and she will go with me."

Luo Yao sat next to him and answered.

Mr. Qin didn't like the climate here in the capital, so he settled down a little to the south all the year round, so the birthday banquet was naturally held on the spot.

"Does Miss Luo think it's awkward to call me by my name?" Qin Yan carefully noticed that the other party paused when he pronounced his name, so he naturally thought of it, "If you don't mind, you can also call me by Xiaoyi. I am Brother Qin."

He thought for a while, and then asked: "If I remember correctly, Miss Luo, you should be the same age as Xiaoyi?"

Luo Yao was indeed the same age as Lu Yi.

But it might not be appropriate for her to call her big brother together with Lu Yi.

Qin Yan's words were originally out of good intentions. Luo Yao knew that the other party was a little more "friendly" to her for Lu Yi's sake, but she still felt it was strange.

Especially if she and Lu Yi still have that kind of relationship, and if they call each other "big brother" together, it will be even more so.

Just when she didn't know how to say no to the other party's kindness, Lu Yi said, "Brother Qin has become so talkative after half a year?"

Several people sat in the private room for a while, and Lu Yi sat beside them listening to the conversation between the two and finally realized something was wrong.

At the beginning, Qin Yan asked Luo Yao to call him by his name, but Lu Yi already felt it was a bit unbelievable, and now he just asked Luo Yao to call him "Brother"... Isn't the relationship span between a few words too big?

The Qin Yan she knew was not such an easy-going person.

"Isn't it because Mr. Luo is good-looking, so we treat him specially?" Lu Yi had to think in a wrong way.

She was suspicious: "Brother Qin, let me remind you that you have a fiancee."

When the words fell to the ground, Luo Yao kicked Lu Yi lightly under the table.

What are you talking about.

It is very difficult to pretend a person's quality. A person like Qin Yan will not be fooled by beauty at first glance.

Luo Yao couldn't help but glanced at Lu Yi, a bit complaining.

Lu Yi was secretly "warned" for a while, although she was not very happy in her heart, she still didn't continue talking.

She pursed the corners of her lips and frowned slightly, with a reluctant look like a child controlled by her parents.

Logically speaking, this was a small gesture between the two, but Qin Yan could see it clearly when he was sitting across the table.

He took it all in his eyes, but didn't make a sound.

The ordered dishes were sent to the private room in a short while.

Everything was fine at first, but Qin Yan answered a phone call and wanted to leave early, so only Luo Yao and Lu Yi were left in the middle of the meal.

Qin Yan just left the door of the private room one second ago, and Luo Yao poured himself two big glasses of water the next second.

Her lips became moisturized because of the water, and there were no traces of the so-called lipstick on the lips.

——No matter what kind of color it is, it can't compare to the naturalness of being spicy at the moment.

Lu Yi stared at Luo Yao's lips with great interest, thinking seriously whether the color of the other's lips was bright at the moment, or even brighter after kissing her.

There was no answer for a while, so Lu Yi put down his chopsticks: "If you can't eat spicy food, you shouldn't order a Sichuan restaurant."

Compared to Luo Yao who had just gone abroad, she was obviously much better.

Luo Yao disagreed: "Follow what you like, this is the basic common sense of doing business."

Naturally, Lu Yi wouldn't understand this, she propped up half of her face, and changed the subject: "Then why did you kick me under the table just now?"

"Who told you to talk nonsense."

"Qin Yan, it's for your sake."

"Do you really not see it or fake it?

After Luo Yao drank a glass of water, he said three sentences in a row. It seemed that he had eased up a lot and was no longer so uncomfortable.

"My face?" Lu Yi raised her eyebrows, and asked with great interest, "I'm a little director, what face can I have?"

"He can see that you and I have a good relationship." With a little bit of hotness remaining on his lips, Luo Yao poured another glass of water into the glass.

"Do we have any special relationship?"

Lu Yi continued to ask, a pair of beautiful eyes showed a little bewilderment.

She was deliberately talking to Luo Yao.

After these few words, Luo Yao could tell that Lu Yi was not talking seriously to him at all.

She simply calmed down and practiced Tai Chi with others: "What special relationship do you think we have?"

Anyway, there are only two of them in the private room now.

No more avoiding suspicion, no more acting.

The two looked at each other quietly.

Just at this time, a new message appeared on Lu Yi's phone on the table.

It was from Qin Yan: [Xiao Yi, what's your relationship with Luo Yao? 】

Seeing this sentence, Lu Yi smiled softly.

What was on his mind, Luo Yao and Qin Yan actually asked this question at the same time.

She then lifted the phone screen and brought it to Luo Yao's eyes: "Tell me, what should I do?"

He stared at the phone screen for a long time without moving, but turned his head to ask Luo Yao, which was obviously done on purpose.

Fortunately, Luo Yao is not a vegetarian.

She glanced at Qin Yan's question on the screen, and said very directly: "Then you tell him: 'It's because of having sex.'"
