Chapter 123: Extra second

Chapter 123: Extra second

My name is Lu Yu, I am 28 years old and I am currently serving as the special assistant to the president of the Su Group.

I joined the Su Group as soon as I graduated from college. In the eyes of many people, this is extremely lucky, and in fact it is. At first, I was not the special assistant of the president, but a small assistant in the personnel department. After working for a year, suddenly one day, the secretary to the president asked me to go to the top office, saying that the president was looking for me. To be honest, I was a little flattered at the time, and a little trembling at the same time.

Because it is only a small assistant in the personnel department, although I have been working for a year, I have seen the president very few times. There is only one office on the top floor, and even if it is the first time, it will never go wrong. The president was sitting alone in the large office, turning over a document at his hand.

Hearing the sound, the president looked up at me, perhaps seeing my nervousness, showing me a soothing smile, raising the document in his hand, and straight to the point, "Did you make this report? "

I just glanced at it and nodded yes. I'm used to putting my own special mark on all the reports I make, as if a famous craftsman would sign his own work. This is a habit left in my middle school years, and I think it's cool.

"Well done." The president nodded approvingly.

After that, the president asked me a few more questions, I answered them one by one, and then the president let me leave.

From entering to exiting, but within ten minutes, I was like a dream.

This was the first time I had a private conversation with the president, who was only heard in occasional meetings or at year-end employee gatherings. The president's voice is very nice. Even someone like me who is not sensitive to voices finds it a pleasure to listen to the president. Talking with the president is even more enjoyable. It's not just the excitement of having a conversation with the boss, it's a feeling I can't even describe, but it's good.

The conversation was quickly thrown out of my mind and back to work. This is not my bragging. Being conscientious and responsible for work has always been my strength and my principle.

A week later, I got a personal notice and I was transferred to the top level as assistant to the president. When the supervisor handed me the transfer letter in person, I could see the envy in his eyes, and I moved to the top floor under the envious eyes of my colleagues in the office.

At the beginning, I was not a special assistant, and I was not the only assistant by the president’s side, but later I became better and better under the president’s guidance. Basically, I could handle everything that the assistant needed to do. The company's employment principle is not to support idlers. Later, the president transferred several other assistants and promoted me to special assistant. I still remember the very resentful eyes that the assistants who were transferred looked at me before they left. But so what, I'm just doing my part, it's their business that they relax their demands on themselves. Until now, the only special assistant around the president was me, and no one would look at me like that again.

Over the years of following the president, the lessons learned far outweigh the material value gained. From the beginning, I had to ask the president to speak to know what to do, and now I don’t need the president to say a word to know what to do and what to do. The president's trust in me is reflected in the fact that he does not deliberately hide me from me, whether it is official or private, and sometimes allows me to handle some quite important affairs independently.

I have never been a person with a lot of facial expressions. I still have a problem left in my middle school years. I always feel that it is very stupid to put everything on my face, and it is very cool to be expressionless no matter what happens. Gradually, the expressions on my face became less and less, and my friends who were studying medicine dubbed it Stockholm Facial Expression Deficiency Syndrome, or facial paralysis in short. This is especially advantageous in my work. Every time the CEO takes me to various conferences and negotiations, the other party will never try to see my emotions on my face. Of course, the president has always done a better job than me when it comes to hiding his emotions, and it's so rare that he doesn't have a facial paralysis.

Since I suffered from this Stockholm Facial Expression Deficiency, I found that my relationship with the opposite **** was getting better and better. I wondered whether women nowadays have a little bit of masochistic tendencies, and at the same time I gladly accepted this result. Especially after I served as the special assistant to the president, don't think I don't know, the female employees of the company secretly call me "male gods" behind their backs, and there are even some male employees. In any case, as a rather conceited man who can be called the company's two major male gods with the cool president in all aspects, I still secretly have fun in my heart, although I still have no expression on my face.

In the eyes of many people, the president is a very cold, arrogant, cool and handsome existence. After all, he has become a legend in the business circle at a young age. It is difficult for people not to make up many cool experiences. I thought so too at first, but after following him for a long time, I realized that although the president is not easy to get along with, it is definitely not difficult to get along with.

Although the president often stays in the company at night, he does not require employees to work overtime, as long as they can complete the day's work during working hours. In addition, the president has a good command, and the rewards and punishments are clearly defined. Basically, every employee in the company is very motivated, and there are few passive and sabotage. This is really rare. Although I have only worked in this company after graduation, when I occasionally have dinner parties with old classmates, I always hear them complaining about their company and their bosses. Every time I have to shut up, because I think about it Go, for the company and the boss, there is no need to complain. Whenever I say this, my old classmates either say that I have a good heart or they envy me for having a good boss.

As the president of one of the top or second largest enterprise companies in China, plus the important decisions of branches and subsidiaries, the president handles a lot of affairs every day. However, the president's work efficiency is very high. When dealing with affairs, he can see ten lines at a glance, and can quickly find out the key points and make decisions. At first, I thought that I could do it after working for a long time, and I had secretly trained myself. Later, I had to admit that this is not something that can be achieved with hard work, but also requires talent. The president is undoubtedly a very talented person.

So for a long time, I was very puzzled. The CEO is so efficient at work. He can basically handle affairs in the morning, and in the afternoon, he will hold meetings or make appointments with customers. Why does he often stay in the company at night. Later, I accidentally discovered that the president stayed in the office at night to read a book. I then understood why the CEO's speech was always so profound, so I gradually developed the habit of staying in the office for a while and reading a book.

Later, I found that the CEO has almost no entertainment activities, not counting all kinds of communication for business purposes. In particular, I haven't seen the president have any ambiguous contacts with any women or men. I have a basic understanding of the president's itinerary, and I also know that the president has never been to places like nightclubs or higher-end places. For an adult man in his late thirties, the president is extremely ruthless. Occasionally I wonder if such a CEO is a bit lonely, but the CEO himself doesn't seem to have any dissatisfaction with it.

Just when I thought the president would go on like this, suddenly one day, the president left me after the work was done and asked me a few questions.

The CEO lowered his head, tapped his finger on the back of the other hand, let the Buddha ponder how to speak, and then raised his head, his tone was indifferent, but I seemed to feel that his heart was not calm, "Lu Yu, you Have you ever been in love?"

I was a little surprised. This was the first time the CEO had talked to me about personal relationship issues since I worked for several years. I nodded, "I have talked about it."

The president paused for a while and asked again, "What does it feel like to like someone?"

I vaguely seemed to understand something, thought about it, and replied seriously, "I probably miss it when I don't see you, I feel at ease when I meet, I want to see the other person happy and happy, and I want to feel good about myself. Everything is offered, and I hope the other party can like it, right."

The president smiled, noncommittal about the answer, and said lightly, "Probably everyone will have their own answer to this question. It turns out that Assistant Lu is such a gentle person, you can't tell from the outside."

I also pulled the corners of my mouth, wondering if I had a smile on my face, but suddenly I felt a little bit of shame and a little bit of astringency. The person who was once worthy of my treatment, now she's gone I don't know where I am.

After a while of silence, just when I thought the conversation was over, the president suddenly asked again, "Do you believe in love at first sight?"

I was stunned, but answered honestly, "I believe. I just don't think it's going to happen to me."

The president lowered his eyes slightly, and said with a low sigh, "I thought so too."

After that, the president didn't say anything, and let the Buddha fall into his own thoughts, and it took me a long time to signal that I could leave.

I bowed my head slightly, turned and walked out. I couldn't help but look back. The CEO was still sitting there thoughtfully, giving me an indescribable feeling, a feeling that I have never felt in the CEO, which is called loneliness. thing.

Suddenly I remembered a school ballad I liked a long time ago. One of the lyrics sings that loneliness is because of someone I miss.

I guess it probably won't end there.

Sure enough, one day after a month, the president asked me to draw up a contract. When I finished drawing up the terms as he pleased, I was very surprised. Simply put, this is a contract between a film and television agency and an artist. I know that the Star Film and Television Entertainment Company opposite was founded by the president, and now it is mainly managed by the president's younger brother Su Jue. The president only grasps the company's direction and important decisions, and does not ask about basic matters. So it's a little strange that the president asked me to draft this contract. What's even more strange is that this contract is more conducive to signing artists no matter how you look at it.

I'm not a stupid person. Thinking of the few questions that the president suddenly asked me a month ago, I have a vague answer in my heart.

After that, the president gave me a phone number and a name, and asked me to make an appointment to meet at the president's office on the top floor of the starry sky the next day.

It is a name that I am extremely unfamiliar with: Lu Yan.

I could probably guess that it was a newly debuted artist. After all, if the president can say the words "love at first sight", I should have never seen it before. It's just that I didn't expect that the other party turned out to be a man. I don't discriminate against gays, it's just a bit of an accident. But thinking about the president's lack of desire for so many years, there must be something special that can make him fall in love, and I'm curious about this Lu Yan.

I called and briefly explained the matter of meeting tomorrow, and the other party readily agreed. Although the call was not long, I was impressed by the person who was thoughtful and polite, and had a nice voice.

The next day I stayed at the head office to deal with the things that the president gave me. It was the starry sky where the chief secretary Daisy accompanied the president. After I came back, I calmly attacked, Daisy was quickly caught by me, and kept complimenting Lu Yan that he was handsome and personable, and that he could let the president sign the contract himself, he must be a rising star or something. It seems that Daisy hasn't seen some clues yet, and it can be seen that this Lu Yan at least has a good external quality. After staying by the president's side for a long time, there are few people who are not good at aesthetics, and Daisy is no exception.

I am more and more curious about this Lu Yan, but unfortunately there is no report about him outside.

Not long after someone sent a copy disc to the company, the president asked me to buy a projector and send it to his break room in the top-floor office. It was the copy disc that was put on during the test, because there was nothing else to use. CD to test the machine. It was a film that had not yet been post-production, but it had been preliminarily edited. I just watched a few paragraphs and then I understood. In these unposted film clips, all the scenes have a human figure. That's a young actor that I haven't seen, at least not yet. After watching it, I came to a conclusion that it looks really good, and the acting skills are quite good. At least from the perspective of a layman who doesn't understand movies at all, there is no sense of violation. He is indeed a very attractive man, the kind that can be called all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred of the same sex. It's just that I have absolutely no interest in men, so that's all.

I can probably guess that in the next few days, after the president finishes his work, he will stay in the lounge by himself and watch these copy disks quietly. As for what kind of mood and attitude the president will have when watching it, I have no way of knowing.

A week later, the president gave me another task, asking me to report Lu Yan's daily itinerary to him. When explaining the task, the president smiled and said, "This is my personal business and has nothing to do with the company's business. So, if you don't want to, you can refuse."

I did not refuse, nor do I want to refuse.

It was actually very easy. I quickly found the phone number of Assistant Lu Yan, a young man named Song Hui. I called directly and asked him to send me a copy of Lu Yan's daily itinerary. He was reluctant at first, but after I said a few words, he obediently agreed. Although both are assistants, my eloquence has been trained by the CEO in major business battles. How can it be compared to a star assistant who has just debuted.

So I have one more task every day. I organize the itinerary of actor Lu Yan and put it on the president's desk. Even when I don't have to work on weekends, I will send the itinerary to the president in the form of email.

Since then, the president hasn't mentioned the relevant topic for a long time, but I know that things are still not over. There have been several times when the president temporarily adjusted the scheduled itinerary and then the person disappeared. I can probably guess where he went. It's just that things didn't seem to be going smoothly. Every time the president came back after disappearing, his mood didn't change. The CEO is not an emotional person, and he never lets his emotions affect his work, but several times, I accidentally saw the CEO standing alone in front of the large French window in the office, looking into the distance, the back , There is an indescribable desolation and loneliness.

I'm not too surprised.

Because of the president's sake, I also paid more attention to Lu Yan. He looks elegant and gentle on the surface, always polite and personable, but I have a feeling that he is actually both arrogant and untamable in his bones. Although my vision is not as good as the president's, my intuition has always been accurate.

There are not many men and women in the world who can reject the CEO, but if there is one, Lu Yan will be one.

I don't think there is anything wrong with Lu Yan's refusal. Love is originally the most unfair thing in the world. It is not that you have to give the other party a response, and it is not that you are good enough and the other party will be tempted.

However, seeing such a lonely president a lot, it is inevitable that he will feel distressed for him.

It's just a matter of feelings, not that the parties can't really appreciate it after all.

The president is not a person who gives up easily, and his strategy will never be in vain. I believe that the president has his own plan.

Sure enough, things slowly turned around. Although the president never mentioned it, I can still feel some of his emotions.

Until the Spring Festival of that year. When I came back from vacation, I saw a completely different president.

A few months ago, Lu Yan was accidentally injured on the set, and I informed the president of the news as soon as possible. Sure enough, people are always more easily impressed when they are vulnerable, and the CEO is indeed the person who is best at seizing opportunities.

I was also very happy for the president, and couldn't help but say, "Congratulations to the president."

We are all smart people, and we don’t need to explain what they mean.

The president didn't ask me why I was congratulating, but smiled lightly and asked, "You see it. Is it so obvious?"

I answered honestly, "Probably because I was in the know."

Later, I had the opportunity to meet the president and Lu Yan several times. Seeing Lu Yan's eyes looking at the president, I seem to understand the president's emotion and perseverance. Such a person, or not love, love will go all out, if you can get such a sincere response, how much you pay is worth it.

Once I followed the president to another city for a large meeting that lasted several days. The middle president suddenly said that he would go back. It was late at that time, and there was a meeting the next day. The president explained that I would attend the meeting on the second day for him, and he would come back in the evening to attend the most important meeting on the third day.

I know it must be something about Lu Yan that can make the president go back and forth so tirelessly at such a critical moment. Fortunately, we were fully prepared before, and I still completed the task well the next day in the absence of the president.

That night, the president came back in the middle of the night again.

When I knocked on the door of the CEO's room early the next morning, he was already dressed and washed.

Seeing me coming, the president nodded slightly, said "let's go" and walked over first. I habitually trail behind him by two steps. It just so happened that the president lowered his head, and I suddenly saw something extraordinary, so I couldn't help but shout, "President!"

The president looked back at me inquiringly, and I pointed at the back of his neck inconveniently. The president touched it subconsciously, as if he suddenly thought of something, he blushed all of a sudden and rushed into the bathroom.

I snorted in my heart, it seemed really intense.

It's a very obvious hickey, but it's located relatively low, and you can't see it when you raise your head, but you can find it when you lower your head. In such a season, in such a position, it is very difficult to justify being bitten by a mosquito.

There was not much time to do more processing, so all day, when there were people, the president held his head up and never lowered his head. That appearance was even more aloof and unpredictable, and it made the partners of the cooperative company at the conference table stunned for a while, thinking that something had happened to make President Su unhappy, and he was trembling all day.

The CEO didn't hide it on purpose, so Daisy quickly found out that the CEO had a lover, and secretly asked me who the other party was. I didn't answer directly, but said something inscrutable, and I'll know when the time comes.

The time is coming soon.

Dausy was really taken aback when he found out that the president's lover was the superstar Lu Yan. After that, the process of being blinded by all kinds of flashes began. Every time Daisy is stimulated, I admire my calmness. I think it was probably because I had insight into everything from the beginning, so I was already mentally prepared.

I thought that I had been surprised by it for a long time, and I was no longer surprised. Unexpectedly, a mountain is still a mountain high.

Lu Daying suddenly wanted to experience seven days of special assistance in the company, and almost all the female employees in the company were boiling over it. It's a pity that they don't know that Lu Yingdi's behavior, called experience, is really outrageous. Daisy and I, the only two people in the company who knew the truth, were blinded by high-intensity flashes every day.

At first, I was able to maintain the calmness of a bystander, but then I became a little bit overwhelmed.

On the last day, Lu Yingdi hinted that Daisy and I could leave work early. At first, I naively thought that he wanted to leave the company with the president early to go to a two-person world. After thinking that the work of the day had been completed, I decided to be a good person and complete the couple. .

As soon as I left the company, I remembered that there was a document I was going to bring back to the office, so I turned the car and went back to get it.

It took only half an hour to return to the company. When I walked to the door of the office and just wanted to go in, I heard some voices, some voices that adults could understand.

I stood at the door in silence for a while, and finally left quietly.

When I left the company again, I happened to see the president's younger brother walking towards the company, thinking that he was going to find the president. It happened that the green light at the intersection was on, and I didn't have time to stop him and say what to write. As for what the other party would bump into or not bump into later, it was not within my scope of responsibility.

My name is Lu Yu and I am 28 years old.

Unexpectedly, I was blinded in the end.
