Xu Xiangbei chuckled, "Of course I want it, and I want it to be more exciting than before. Don’t install those old landmines and rotary machine guns, let’s avoid accidentally hurting people. Install sothing modern and controllable with a single click; I’m quite lazy and don’t want to have to load bullets into the machine gun."
Shan Mingzhi confidently laughed, "No problem, I promise everything will be intelligent and simplified, with one-click operation, definitely no manual operation needed, just one button to settle everything."
Although Shan Mingzhi is a bit chubby and occasionally pretentious, he’s very smart.
Xu Xiangbei satisfiedly patted his shoulder, "I’ll first tell you so of my ideas, so it’ll be much easier for you to organize."
Initially, Xu Xiangbei only had a few ideas, but after introducing those, he quickly found he had more new ones.
He talked about rebuilding the office incessantly, coming up with at least thirty different points, all of which he told Shan Mingzhi. Shan Mingzhi listened while recording with his phone, sweat beading on his chubby forehead.
Xu Xiangbei swayed his head, thinking for a mont, "For now, that’s all I can think of. You start designing based on my key points and I’ll tell you if any additional thoughts co up."
Wiping the sweat off his forehead and neck, Shan Mingzhi realized Xu Xiangbei’s ideas were too abundant, with many being redundant and overlapping. He said with a bitter face, "President Xu, you’d better think fast; you’re only giving two months. Based on your requirents, I feel like I’m building a skyscraper. I’m afraid I won’t keep up."
Xu Xiangbei was indifferent, "This is a place to test your skills. Do it well, and I’ll give you a bonus."
Monica rushed over, smiling, "President Xu, Jessica’s photography work is complete. She said she wants to invite you to dinner; how should I respond to her?"
Xu Xiangbei’s eyes lit up, "This photographer, Miss Jessica, sure keeps her promises. Is she still in the studio on the twenty-eighth floor?"
"Yes."
"I’ll go directly to her; no need for you to relay the ssage."
Xu Xiangbei straightened his Versace suit tie, feeling it smooth and sophisticated. With a sense of elegance, he humd a tune and took the stairs via the fire escape to the twenty-eighth floor instead of the elevator.
Monica often visited Lei Ziming’s office on the thirtieth floor. Seeing the once-ga world-like office turned into a desolate wasteland, she couldn’t help but sigh.
She pouted and remarked, "Young Master Lei loves to play. He’s smart, but it’s a pity his mind’s focused on play, almost to the point of breaking the company. Fortunately, only this office room was affected."
Monica is a gentle, cheerful beauty. Shan Mingzhi, when he sees a beauty, becos noticeably unnatural, flushed, and shy.
Luckily, Xu Xiangbei frequently had Monica bring Shan Mingzhi fine wine and snacks, allowing them frequent contact. With more interaction, Shan Mingzhi gradually beca more comfortable and bold.
Even though he was still a bit nervous seeing Monica, Shan Mingzhi could now talk and laugh freely.
He bravely extended an invitation, "Monica, I... I want to invite you for coffee after work. Do you have ti?"
Monica certainly knew Shan Mingzhi was asking her out and was a bit surprised, as she usually looked down on guys like Shan Mingzhi.
But after interacting more with Shan Mingzhi, she knew he had an exceptional talent in computing.
Moreover, Shan Mingzhi was an IT expert Xu Xiangbei favored, rapidly promoted from a small programr to Director of the Information Center, a position equivalent to a departnt manager, one rank higher than her as a junior secretary.
Seeing Shan Mingzhi was sowhat tense, she smiled encouragingly, "Sure, I’m free this evening."
When Monica agreed to et him, Shan Mingzhi was nearly bursting with excitent but managed to suppress his joy, "Let’s go to the café next to the company. They have great steak as well. We’ll leave together after work."
Monica agreed but, as girls often do, maintained a sense of reservation and left a way out for herself. Her smile was likened to a fragrant jasmine blossom.
"As long as President Xu doesn’t have any special arrangents, et after work."
Watching Monica return to her office via the elevator, Shan Mingzhi twisted his chubby body and excitedly perford a few breakdance moves.
Though awkward, resembling a rolling tire more than hip twisting, his arm and leg movents were quite accurate – a dance he’d spent a year learning in university.
When Xu Xiangbei arrived at the photography studio, most of the models had already left. Two stunning won in floral dresses ca face-to-face with Xu Xiangbei.
Both won were breathtaking beauties, slender yet voluptuous, with exquisite, glamorous makeup. They smiled flirtatiously at Xu Xiangbei, leaving him feeling as if his soul flew away.
"Hello, President Xu."
"Hello, your photos are truly beautiful."
"Thank you, President Xu, for the complint."
If it weren’t for Xiao Lin watching him intently, Xu Xiangbei would have asked for these models’ phone numbers.
Xiao Lin was chatting and laughing with Jessica as they exited the studio. They’re good friends, often working together to take photos.
Previous promotional photos for Ancient Moon Red Dust ga and Xiao Lin’s attendance at Yanjing’s jewelry fashion show were all shot by Jessica.
Xiao Lin’s massive jade earrings hung down to her shoulders, complenting her snowy white shoulders and green fitted long skirt, giving off a unique charm.
She teased with a smile, "Hearing Jessica wants to treat you to dinner, did you threaten her?"
Xu Xiangbei grinned, "How would I dare threaten her? It’s her own willingness; I never breach a beauty’s wishes."
Jessica chid in for Xu Xiangbei, a gentle smile appearing on her delicate face, "I sincerely invited President Xu for dinner so he might give more bonus."
"Haha, of course, I’ll give a little extra bonus. How about an original salary increase of ten percent each? I’m more generous than Lei Zhenrong, right?"
Xiao Lin laughed, covering her mouth, "You’re more generous indeed, though Lei Zhenrong treated us courteously, unlike you being so roguish."
Xu Xiangbei joked, "How am I roguish? Isn’t it just a beauty treat for dinner? We’ll go to Emperor’s Pavilion, you treat, I foot the bill. Is that courteous enough?"
Jessica was amused by Xu Xiangbei, laughing heartily, "President Xu is quite polite. However, in the future, while we’re photographing, please don’t disturb us."
Xu Xiangbei chuckled, "I’m there to give a bit of encouragent. Isn’t it when I walk in, the beauties get all excited? There’s a saying, the combination of male and female makes work less tiring, all matters should balance Yin and Yang. We need a balance of Yin and Yang."
