Chapter 118 - Sending Lunch
Special Assistant Bei Yuan paced back and forth in front of the President's office. The secretaries who were familiar with the way the assistant's mood stayed silently to do their job.
They knew well that when the assistant was anxious, it also meant that that the President should be in a very bad mood. Even though they were curious to know about what had happened, none of them dared to ask a thing.
The elevator door slid open and Secretary Pan walked out. The secretary walked out of the elevator with his head low. He was too focused on the documents in his hand to realize that Assistant Bei Yuan was right in front of him.
Suddenly, Secretary Pan noticed a pair of black shoes appeared in his line of gaze. When he looked up, Assistant Bei Yuan was staring back at him with his bright eyes. Looking at his face, Secretary Pan suddenly grew scared.
Before he could run and hide, Assistant Bei Yuan had already grabbed his arm.
"Secretary Pan, it's good that you're here.
"
A bad feeling arose in his heart.
"Assistant Bei Yuan, what are you trying to do?
"
The documents in his hand were taken away. A while later, another pile of documents appeared. Secretary Pan stared at these documents with a dazed look on his face. He was clueless about what was going on. Meanwhile, his colleagues were watching him with sympathy.
"Secretary Pan, please help me to deliver this to President Lu.
"
His face turned pale.
"No, Assistant Bei Yuan, I can't do that. You know very well that I-
"
"Please, Secretary Pan, this is urgent. My stomach is hurting.
" As soon as he said those words, Bei Yuan ran over to the restroom, leaving the Secretary in front of the President's office.
Secretary Pan swallowed as he stared at the documents in his hand. Then, he glanced at his colleagues.
This was not fair. Because he had only started working for a few weeks and was the only male secretary in the department, Secretary Pan was frequently bullied by the others.
Secretary Pan wanted to let someone else deliver the documents. However, everyone else in the department was avoiding eye contact with him. He suddenly recalled that President Lu Xun did not like it when others entered his office. However… Assistant Bei Yuan was having an emergency.
At the thought that those documents might be something important, Secretary Pan took a deep breath and knocked on the door. President Lu Xun's voice was heard from the inside and Secretary Pan entered the door. The moment he entered the room, Secretary Pan could hear the music from a game.
"Bei Yuan?
" Lu Xun's expression changed when he saw that the person who had entered his room was not his assistant.
"Where's Assistant Bei Yuan?
"
Secretary Pan shivered.
"Assistant Bei Yuan had a toilet emergency.
" Slowly, he walked over and placed the documents on the table. Just as he was about to quietly leave the room, the President had called his name.
"Secretary Pan, right?
"
"Yes.
" His palms were sweaty.
Lu Xun pulled a name card and slid it on the table.
"Help me to get a few boxes of lunch from this restaurant and send them to the studio.
" He glanced at the secretary and raised a brow.
"You know the way to the studio, right?
"
Secretary Pan nodded. He picked up the name card and thought that the name of the restaurant sounded a little familiar. Just as he was about to leave again, President Lu called his name again.
"You can take one box for yourself.
"
Seeing that his boss had nothing else to say, Secretary Pan quickly exit the room. Just as he came out, Secretary Pan found that Assistant Bei Yuan was standing in front of her. Secretary Pan let out a yelp before he calmed down.
"Secretary Pan, tell me, how is the President's mood? What was he doing when you entered the room?
"
"When I entered the room, President Lu was playing games.
"
A look of surprise flashed on Assistant Bei Yuan's face.
So President Lu was in a good mood?
"
"Did the President say anything?
"
Secretary Pan took out the card from his pocket.
"President Lu only asked me to pick up some lunch boxes and send them to the studio.
"
Bei Yuan glanced at the name card and nodded. Others would think that it was strange for President Lu Xun to order some lunch boxes from this high-end restaurant. However, Bei Yuan knew best what his boss was trying to do.
President Lu Xun is really pursuing Miss Song.
Bei Yuan pondered over this matter for a while. Since his boss was playing games instead of looking at the stock market, then… he should be in a good mood, right?
If only he knew, he would not let Secretary Pan enter the room in his place.
Last night, before he split up with his boss at the airport, President Lu's mood was still very bad. Later, President Lu had mentioned that will head over to Miss Song's apartment to deliver her souvenir.
Could it be that President Lu's good mood was related to Miss Song?
Assistant Bei Yuan thought that this idea was very possible.
A light flashed in his eyes. Bei Yuan started to wonder if he should build a good rapport with Miss Song so that he can have a better future.
"You go ahead and do what the President asks.
"
The secretary hesitated.
"Assistant Bei Yuan, the President also said that I can pick one of the lunch boxes for myself. Can I really take one?
"
"Of course you can. Secretary Pan, do you know what kind of place is this restaurant?
" Bei Yuan spoke.
"For you, you will have to spend a month's salary to eat at this place.
"
Secretary Pan was frightened.
"Just take one box since the President you could. It was rare that the President was such in a good mood. Not everyone will get the chance to eat the food from this restaurant. Just take it that you're in luck.
"
Bei Yuan watched as the Secretary walked away. Then, he knocked on the President's door and entered.
"Bei Yuan, are you feeling better now?
Assistant Bei Yuan let out a cough.
"Yes, President Lu.
" He walked over to the desk and spoke,
"I forgot that I need to explain a few things to you. President Lu, this morning, Director Fei called to tell you that the audition for the new talent has ended. He was wondering if you wanted to go and take a look at the new artists.
"
Lu Xun pondered over this matter for a while. He was about to decline when he recalled that he had something to discuss with the director..
"Tell Director Fei that I will go and see him after lunch hour.
"
