Chapter 96: Girls, I've Caught a Man
Elevator, man, chain, a man and a woman—this looks like a freak show, no wonder the girl got scared. Anyone would think the same.
Luckily, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. Sun Mumu smiled, lighting up the gloom of being late a bit.
On the fourth floor, in the innermost office, Shen Yi arrived at the company on time today. Usually, she comes in after ten, unless something's up. But today, to welcome Su Qing, she made an exception.
"Why isn't he here yet? Late on his first day, that's not acceptable. I'm going to dock his pay," Shen Yi muttered, sitting in her chair, her bright eyes glancing outside every now and then.
"Maybe something held him up. President Shen, there's no need to rush. Should I go check?" Deng Jie said with a smile.
It's rare for the boss to arrive before the employee and wait for them to start work. After all, they're not a small company, even their branch is quite established.
"No need to look. If he dares not to show up, he's done for," Shen Yi said through gritted silver teeth, a face full of impatience.
Beside her, Deng Jie sighed helplessly, feeling a little urge to remind her boss to be more reserved, but she held her tongue.
At 9:15, Shen Yi's phone dinged with a WeChat message.
She opened it, and sure enough, it was from Su Qing, saying he had already arrived at the fourth-floor entrance.
"Go meet him and take him to handle the onboarding procedures."
Hearing this, Deng Jie was taken aback: "President Shen, aren't you going to meet him personally?"
"I'm the boss, don't I have to save face?"
Deng Jie: ...
Alright, now you're playing hard to get. Why didn't you act this way earlier?
But since she's the boss and Deng Jie is just a working bee, she'll follow orders.
So, Deng Jie nodded and went out.
Meanwhile, Su Qing was standing at the fourth-floor entrance. When the elevator opened, he was greeted by a glass door, and "Baihua Creation Scenery" was emblazoned on the front wall, Shen Yi's company's name.
At this moment, Da Huang was put back on the leash, glaring at him with a look of defiance.
He's a civilized person; it's especially important to leash large dogs like this. It's bad if they scare the flowers and plants.
"What are you looking at? Next time if the leash comes off and you don't warn me, I'll sell you to Auntie Shen. Don't be fooled by her pretty face; she's got a sharp tongue and loves eating dog meat. You'll be diced up and cooked in a soup by nightfall if you end up at her place," Su Qing threatened.
Given Da Huang's intelligence, it was impossible for it not to notice the loosened leash—it was intentional, wanting to slack off.
Earlier, when he rushed from the second floor to the first, this fella was flirting with the receptionist downstairs, claws placed deliberately on her thighs. Her black stockings were nearly torn by its licking.
It's clear, Da Huang is a lustful dog, not only liking black stockings but also tearing them.
Indeed, the world's colors follow patterns. Black and white: it could be cold medicine or a fool. Whether a panda or a husky, they aren't too bright.
Green denotes sadness, red signals alert; as for yellow... he doesn't dabble with it, but Da Huang possesses this trait innately.
This confirms that the Su Family indeed stands opposed to gambling and drugs; there's none of that in the family, yet somehow there's a 'yellow.'
"Awooo~" barked Da Huang.
[Stop scaring the dog, I'm not that dumb from next door!]
Hearing that, Su Qing was about to teach it a lesson but heard a cough instead.
"Ahem, Mr. Su"
Looking up, he saw Auntie Shen's assistant standing before him; his previous words might've been overheard.
Awkward! Discussing the boss right outside the company on the first day and having it overheard by the secretary. If it were any other employee, or if the boss was petty, he might be doomed.
Luckily, if there's one thing the Su Family has in abundance, it's thick skin.
"Hello, Sister Deng. Sorry, Da Huang caused some trouble earlier, so I'm late," Su Qing said, not showing any embarrassment, acting naturally.
Deng Jie took a deep breath, stifled a laugh, and said softly, "Alright, Mr. Su, please follow me. President Shen instructed me to take you to the HR department first."
Su Qing nodded and followed Deng Jie into the company's doors.
Shen Yi's company is not small; the entire fourth floor is their territory. Since this branch was established only six months ago, many areas haven't been completed, making it feel a bit empty.
Why do they dare to lease an entire floor with so few people? Simple: one of the shareholders is a landlady.
Just this building alone, Wen Nanqing owns four floors — quite exaggerating.
Soon enough, Su Qing followed Deng Jie through the hallways to an office room with few people inside—just three, two men and one woman, members of the HR department.
With Deng Jie intervening, Da Huang's onboarding went smoothly.
"Mr. Su, head inside, take a left, and it's the second to last room. There aren't many people there now; there's a workstation prepared especially for you. Someone will be there to greet you. Please wait there; I'll inform the PR department to come and receive the model." Deng Jie pointed towards the direction.
"Alright, thank you, Sister Deng," Su Qing replied with a smile, nodding.
Watching Deng Jie leave, Su Qing took a deep breath and spoke to Da Huang beside him, "Huang'Er, time to work hard. Our family needs you now. Earning three billion might be too much, but at least secure me a dowry, okay?"
Da Huang: "Woof!" [No problem, and what kind of female dog would you like? I'll find one for you.]
Su Qing: (╬ ̄皿 ̄)
"Left, second to last, second to last,"
Walking while keeping an eye out, Su Qing soon found the corresponding location. However, there was a door on both sides. Hesitating for a moment, he walked toward one of the doors.
Knock, knock, knock
"Who is it? Hey? It's you?" As the door opened, a petite figure appeared—it was the girl he'd met earlier in the elevator, looking at him in surprise.
While speaking, she glanced at Da Huang, wondering why someone brought a dog inside.
"Hello, I was referred by Secretary Deng to find a workstation, right? Is it you who's supposed to receive me? Someone mentioned they'd come to receive the model later," Su Qing asked cautiously, since he wasn't technically an employee and Da Huang was just a dog, feeling a bit reserved as newcomers often do.
Hearing this, the girl was initially stunned, then looked at Da Huang slyly: "Ah~~ yes, yes, it's me, it's me."
With that, she pulled him into the room. It was quite empty inside, with only a few desks and no one but herself.
"Have a seat, this is the workstation Secretary Deng assigned for you."
Sat down, Su Qing felt something was off. He asked, "Just you in this room?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you sit here while I get you some water."
Upon saying this, the girl excitedly ran outside. She knocked on the window of the innermost office area next door, whispering:
"Girls, I caught a man, come quickly!"
Su Qing: ???
