Overtime Work

At 11 pm, Yang Jin woke up and walked out of the office. She felt a bit awkward when she saw Su, the general manager, sitting behind Chen Yi, frowning as she looked at the planning proposal. She approached and said in a low voice,

"Su, I..."

"Chen Yi told me everything. You drank a pound of Baijiu? Here's four thousand yuan, should be enough, right?"

Without turning her head, Su Qing handed the four thousand yuan on the table to Yang Jin. She had just asked Liu Jiulong to go out and get it. She knew the meal cost a little over three thousand yuan, and the extra few hundred yuan were a reward for Yang Jin's hard work for the company.

Yang Jin didn't reach out to take it, so Su Qing casually threw it on the table and said lightly,

"With your personality, you'll be bullied wherever you go. You're too soft; even in the finance department, you'll be given a hard time. Consider the extra money as an early New Year's gift from me, your aunt, to Beibei. Both you and Yang Xuan are working for me, and you deserve rewards. I know it's not easy for you to earn money, and I can't bear to punish you. When I lose my temper, I can't control myself. I won't apologize because I understand you, and I hope you can be more considerate towards me."

Considerate!

Not understanding but considerate. Su Qing used this word very aptly. She wasn't forcing them to accept it as the general manager but was speaking as a young person. Yang Jin took a deep breath, took the money, and prepared to count out five hundred yuan for Chen Yi and Jiang Fan. When Chen Yi saw this, he shook his head at Yang Jin. Yang Jin sighed again and turned to get a chair when she noticed Jiang Fan sleeping soundly nearby. The corners of Yang Jin's eyes twitched slightly.

She walked over and gently shook Jiang Fan's shoulder, saying softly,

"Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan."

"Yang, don't bother with him. What do you want to eat? We only have takeout now. After tomorrow's matter is over, whether we succeed or fail, I'll take you out to eat. If we succeed, Jiang Fan will come; if we fail, he'll be in the trunk of my car."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiulong's pen fell to the ground. Yang Jin's face turned slightly awkward, and she said in a low voice,

"Su, aren't you hungry?"

"Even if you're not hungry, these two men are. Liu, you know the people in the general department. Order four servings will be enough."

Liu Jiulong nodded and then asked with confusion,

"Isn't Su eating?"

Yang Jin strode forward and gave Liu Jiulong a slap on the shoulder. Couldn't he see that Su was angry with Jiang Fan? Order five servings.

The security guard on night watch downstairs brought up the food. Su Qing threw the two bottles of drinks that came with the takeout to the young security guard. The moment the hot stir-fry was opened, Jiang Fan woke up. He shamelessly dragged his chair forward and reached out to take the box meal. The next second, he quickly withdrew his hand as a sharp chopstick was stuck in the lid of the meal box.

Jiang Fan was scared into a cold sweat. Su Qing glared at him coldly.

"We're busy, and you're sleeping? You still have the face to eat?"

"Su, calm down. Jiang Fan, don't glare back. Let's eat. After eating, you can't sleep again."

Yang Jin spoke up to smooth things over. Su Qing snorted coldly. The meal was quiet. This was also the first time they had eaten at the same table with Su. Yang Jin hadn't eaten for nearly ten hours and was already hungry. Chen Yi had been busy all night, and a box of rice was quickly finished. Jiang Fan gave the other half of his rice to Chen Yi, then looked at Su Qing who had already put down her meal box and said softly,

"Su, have you finished eating?"

"What?"

"Oh! Then I'll eat."

Without hesitation, Jiang Fan took Su Qing's meal box under the surprised gaze of the four people and scooped the untouched half of the rice into his own meal box. Yang Jin was stunned, Liu Jiulong's eyes widened, and Chen Yi looked at Jiang Fan with admiration.

Even Su Qing, who was usually so composed, felt slightly uneasy.

Jiang Fan didn't take it to heart. He was really hungry. Plus, Su Qing hadn't touched half of her food, so he took some dishes and slid his chair over to Chen Yi's computer, looking at the rendering in progress. With a mouthful of food, Jiang Fan mumbled,

"It's almost what I imagined. We don't need to change this one. Remember, for the exterior shots, don't leave any windows. The renderings are just a tool to increase persuasiveness; they're not very important. Later, give this to Brother Liu, and mark the costs like I told you. Oh, and mark nearby bus stops too."

Chen Yi nodded, and Jiang Fan continued,

"Yang Jin, you might have to do something for me. I need to teach you a pitch. Remember to memorize it, or if you can't, print it out and read it. It might be used, or it might not. It's mainly about convincing executives for investment. If everything goes as planned, Li Manager from Fenghua Decorations will tell his friends tonight to prepare to become building materials agents. This kind of thing is usually done by people familiar with decoration. Also, there's another matter. I don't quite understand the current price for leasing commercial properties. I'll need your help with this too."

"Okay!"

Yang Jin began to prepare, and Chen Yi and Liu Jiulong also returned to their computers to prepare for their work. Liu Jiulong smiled at Jiang Fan and said,

"You look unreliable, but after eating, you seem to be on the right track. I'll see if I've underestimated you."

Jiang Fan smiled and reached out his hand to Su Qing. Su Qing gritted her teeth, took two packs of soft Chinese cigarettes from her bag, and handed them to Jiang Fan. Then the other three were stunned again. Why wasn't Jiang Fan treating Su Qing like a boss? Jiang Fan threw the cigarettes to Liu Jiulong and smiled,

"Trust me."

Su Qing looked at Jiang Fan coldly and frowned,

"You're asking them to work, but what are you doing? Going back to sleep?"

"No, I can't sleep after waking up. I need to calm my mind. All the planning needs to match the renderings and the oral presentation. This also avoids mistakes in the written plan being noticed. Oh! Su Qing, can I ask you something? Is Sun Ya from the PR department very capable?"

"She has some skills. She's trained a group of attractive men and women and is considered a little hero in the company."

"If I slap her twice, how much trouble will I be in?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jin immediately spoke up to stop Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan raised his hand to signal Yang Jin to wait and looked at Su Qing.

Su Qing frowned and said softly,

"The PR department is not under my management. If you slap her now, Gao Lvxing might deal with you. If you want to avenge Yang Jin, make this planning case a perfect success. I'm not just talking about passing it. When the time comes, if you slap her, you slap her. I don't like this flirtatious woman."

"So, compared to you, is she like a little fox seeing a tiger?"

"Jiang Fan, do you want to fight? I'm not bothering with you now. You'd better pray that your planning case succeeds. If you make me lose face, I'll find a way to deal with you."

Jiang Fan smiled, glanced at his antique phone, and then smiled,

"Four o'clock. Whether you're busy or not, go to sleep. The meeting is said to start at ten. I'm speaking for Su Qing."

Jiang Fan had absolute confidence in himself.

Then he said he wanted to wash his shirt and asked if anyone needed help. Chen Yi took off his shirt and threw it to Jiang Fan.

"Fan, remember to wash it clean. This is my first time attending a high-level meeting."
