Yu Lei International indeed proved itself to be a company run by women. The interior decorations for the dining hall which encompasses the whole 15th-storey, were clean, bright, open, and delightfully colored.
Large floor-to-ceiling glass windows were present on all four sides, and one could gaze upon the entire landscape of Zhong Hai City. The tables and chairs were all avant-garde silver-white colored mix of metal and plastic, showing a strong fashionable style. The lighting of the dining hall was also elegant and fresh, the hanging lights with glass that had a crystal-like texture came in various colors and types. In the hall, potted plants were sparsely distributed at the four corners, their tender and lovely leaves showed that someone had been showing great care to them.
At the counter for swiping their IDs, the table used was similar to those used in bars. The food and beverage workers wore clean and white work clothing, and welcomed everybody with smiles.
When Yang Chen entered the dining hall with the 3 ladies, not much attention was brought onto them. After all, despite Yu Lei International having comparatively lesser men, that did not mean they didnât have any, it was only the PR Department which was a little special. On top of that, there were over 200 workers in the headquarters, when all were assembled onto this level, men wouldnât be so eye-catching.
Seeing Yang Chenâs expression of interest, Zhang Cai laughed and said, âWhat do you think, itâs not bad right? Our companyâs welfare is considered one of the very best in the entire Zhong Hai.â
âThe design of this place is great, I felt my appetite rise the moment I entered.â Yang Chen spoke honestly.
âThe dining hallâs renovation was personally designed by our CEO. In these 2 years that our CEO has been on the job, the companyâs performance and welfare all increased substantially, weâre all her fans.â Said Zhang Cai with a sense of pride.\nCEO? Isnât that my familyâs ice-cold wife? When Yang Chen thought of that, then looked at the 4 cornersâ clean and neat decorations, he seemed to gain some deep understanding of it.
Isnât it so? When looked at closely, these decorations are all cold-toned.
Zhao Hongyan suddenly turned her head and said, âI suddenly thought of something after she mentioned the CEO, yesterday the CEO called you to her office, what actually happened?â
âHavenât I said it already? She was just greeting a new colleague.â Yang Chen vaguely replied.
âWho would believe you!â Zhao Hongyan coquettishly protested. She knew she couldnât get an answer out, so she changed questions, âHey, Yang Chen, youâve met our CEO, how does it feel to meet her?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âDid you come from Mars? You entered our company, how could it be that you donât know our Boss Lin has a reputation of being the number one beauty in Zhong Haiâs business world?â Zhao Hongyan had a face of disbelief.
Thereâs such a title? Yang Chen really didnât know, he laughed then said, âSheâs alright I guess, just ice-cold, merely looking at her can induce goosebumps in the heart.â
âIt goes without saying that the CEO should have a distinctive temperament.â Liu Mingyu who kept silent suddenly threw in a line, Zhao Hongyan and Zhang Cai both followed with sounds of approval.
Yang Chen was surprised, he didnât expect that in the hearts of the workers of Yu Lei International, Lin Ruoxiâs coldness was regarded as a distinctive temperament, moreover they seem particularly respectful to her. It seemed like it didnât matter if it was personal charm or management skills, his familyâs beautiful wife was indeed extraordinary in every way.
The 4 people took the dishes they wanted then sat at a comparatively larger table. At this time Yang Chen realized, at the east of the dining hall, there was a space separated by a glass window with flower decorations, forming a private area, the tables inside were brightly colored, and the chairs were similarly colored leather sofas.\nâSitting inside there will definitely be even more comfortable, why hasnât anybody gone in?â Yang Chen asked puzzlingly.
The 3 ladies took a glance, then Zhang Cai answered, âThat is the dining area for the companyâs management level, only those who possess positions of vice-head and above may enter, the management levelâs food is also different, they have a great chef to specially cook for them.â
âSuch a large area but there isnât a soul?â Yang Chen felt a little pity, âHow about we go over there, it will be a waste if it was empty anyways.â
Zhao Hongyan said, âAt the vice-head level and above, which of them doesnât have meetings often? Who will have the free time to eat at the companyâs dining hall every day? However, you need not think of going in, rules are rules, little employees like us only need to do our part well.â
Liu Mingyu then said, âActually, that can also be considered as a motivational policy for normal employees, only with a difference in treatment can oneâs competitive spirit be raised. Only with a competitive spirit can one make progress, I think this is necessary.â
Yang Chen looked at his plateâs chicken cutlet and cauliflower, itâs cooked well, but with only the size of two hands, he gloomily frowned, âThereâs so little dishes, so little rice, I only need 2 or 3 mouthfuls to finish it, it isnât even as filling as a 5 dollars meal from a small restaurant.â
The 3 ladies looked at each other in dismay, all of them revealed expressions of being unable to understand. The fact was, they simply didnât know what a 5 dollars meal from those small restaurants in the markets were like. Seeing Yang Chenâs expression of not having enough to eat, wordlessly, they began moving some of their dishes and rice on their plates to Yang Chenâs with their chopsticks.\nâUsually we canât finish our food, so weâll let you have some.â Zhao Hongyan helplessly laughed, âIn the future if you join us for lunch, we can avoid wasting food.â
Right at this moment, a line of people entered the dining hall, many workers in the dining hall quietly stood up, revealing a somewhat nervous expression, and greeted those people.
âOh, the CEO and department heads have come, the department headsâ meeting has ended.â Zhang Cai cried out in alarm, stopped whatever she was doing, and stood up like the other ladies.
Standing at the forefront was the impressive Lin Ruoxi, with her hair tied up in a bun, and no cosmetics on her clean, moon-like face. That ice-cold temperament could repel others from a thousand miles away. She was like a heavenly goddess, in a pure black outfit, and seemed especially lucid and elegant beyond compare.
This was a woman who didnât need any makeup, and only needs to be present to captivate her surroundings.
The other management level people who entered together with her proved this point. The majority of them were ladies, they wore fitting clothes, had graceful temperaments, some were older yet still attractive, while some were youthful and pretty. This included Yang Chenâs superior, the PR Departmentâs Mo Qianni. However, at that point of time, these glamorous beauties who followed behind Lin Ruoxi were like moons covered by the sun, and werenât as dazzling as they usually were.
After a short glance or two, Yang Chen lowered his head, he felt that in this situation, it was better for him to just eat.
Therefore, as everybody present stopped eating and stood up to greet, Yang Chen who wolfed down his chicken cutlet, suddenly stood out like a sore thumb.
When Lin Ruoxi walked past Yang Chen, she didnât stop for the slightest moment, and didnât even pay a glance, as if she totally didnât recognize Yang Chen. The fact was, when she just entered, she saw the scene of the 3 ladies adding food onto Yang Chenâs plate, and a burst of unhappiness entered her heart.\nHer cheap husband, really thought of the company as his flirting spot! Furthermore, he even picked up three at a time!?
Instead when the others from the management level saw Yang Chen, whom unlike the other workers who were putting in the effort to please, only cared about raking in his meal. They felt displeased, but wasnât in the right situation to say something, and could only intentionally or unintentionally remember this person by heart, and include him in their blacklist.
Looking bright and charming, Mo Qianni who was in a light yellow outfit was at a meeting since early in the morning, and hadnât met Yang Chen yet. Upon seeing this scene, she also felt displeased, suddenly recalling something, a trace of teasing and taunting flashed in her eyes. She stopped by Yang Chenâs side and said, âYang Chen, be prepared to leave around 3 in the afternoon, youâre coming with me to settle some work outside.â With that said, she walked away without even looking back.
Yang Chen swallowed the mouthful of food, how could he not know? This lady superior who was displeased with him definitely intends to pull some tricks on him, he wanted to evade it by saying he was âvery busy,â but seeing Mo Qianni already seriously discussing something with the other management level people, she basically no longer paid any attention to him.
âI wish you good luck.â Zhao Hongyan beside him winked at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen shrugged his shoulders, indifferently laughed, and continued burying his head into âbattle.â\n
