chapter 40

“Smart! Lin Xiao Xiao! Real smart!”

“Director, I…”

“Oh, stop with that already!” Director Zhou pointed at Lin Xiao Xiao and shouted at her angrily. “I need to go and take care of this right now. We’ll figure out what to do with you when I get back!”

“I…”

Before Lin XiaoXiao could say anything else, Director Zhou had already picked up the USB drive from his desk and walked over to the general manager’s office.

Lin XiaoXiao still hasn’t comprehended the magnitude of this issue, but Zhou LingYan, the director, has.

It wasn’t so much that a company of their size had missed a few good songs because of an employee’s error, but the fact that the employees of Operations would straight up steal resources from the mailbox was a fundamental problem.

Not to mention that the production and releases of these songs had caught the attention of three other departments as well as the general manager.

Director Zhou went to the general manager’s office and informed him of the incident.

Sure enough, Chen Ang, who had always been calm, had a solemn look on him.

“Even though this was the act of Lin XiaoXiao alone, the impact was huge. I will need your department to submit a full report on this incident,” said Chen Ang after thinking over it for a bit.

There were things Chen Ang knew better than Zhou LingYan.

“As for the solutions that you have proposed…”

Frowning a little, Chen Ang carried on, “It will work, but we will need to loop in some upper management. I will need to brief the president. Follow me.”

Chen Ang went to the president’s office located on the 17th floor and knocked on the door with Director Zhou in tow.

At this moment, Lu BoYang was sitting in front of his desk and playing on his cellphone in front of a stack of documents. Hearing the knocking sound, he casually looked up and said, “C’mon in.”

Even a married woman like Zhou LingYan found the mature and slightly wicked aura radiating casually from the man charming.

“Boss Lu.”

“Speak.”

“This is about the few very good songs that had been brought to our attention by Lin XiaoXiao that I had mentioned to you before,” said Chen Ang in a very prudent tone.

The name Lin XiaoXiao made Lu BoYang paused a little, as though he needed a second to recall who that was. Finally, he nodded. “Right, you had mentioned this in the past. You said you will put together a dedicated team for the production of those songs, right?”

“Ugh, yes. But, there have been some issues…”

As Chen Ang carried on, while Lu Boyang was listening to him, he never stopped typing on his phone.

[Group Chat: The Landlord’s Family]

[Xiao Liu* of the Lu’s]: Third cousin, I just want to check and see if you are still alive.

* (T/N: Xiao Liu means little 6. He is the 6th child in the family. “Family” in this case can include cousins of the same generation. )

[Lu XiaoYang]: Are you trying to put a curse on me? I am fine and well with champagne and beauties. Thanks for asking.jpg

[Second Fool of the Lu’s]: For real? scared.jpg

[Second Fool of the Lu’s]: Lu XiaoYang, you keep telling yourself that. I don’t believe that you will be able to enjoy champagne and beauties being around the devil all the time.

[Foolish Son of the Lu’s] I second that. Are you just lying because Third Uncle is sitting next to you right now as we speak?

[Second Fool of the Lu’s]: Dang! Third Uncle’s there right now?

[Second Fool of the Lu’s]: Recall last message.

[Second Fool of the Lu’s]: Recall last message.

[Lu XiaoYang]: Wait! What do you mean by Third Uncle???

[Foolish Son of the Lu’s]: Isn’t Third Uncle where you are?

“I….!” Inside the office, Lu Boyang, who was reading his WeChat suddenly jumped up from his chair.

“Boss Lu, is everything alright?”

“Yes, Yes. Everything is fine. Carry on.”

[Lu XiaoYang]: You said Third Uncle is over here?!
